The Weekly Tarot Brew
The Five of Cups, Two of Pentacles, 8 of Swords and the High Priestess along with a cup of coffee. Tarot card spread for a weekly Tarot message. The Smith Rider Waite deck.
This weekly brew is dedicated to the Sad Gurlllzzzzzzz crying in their cafecito.
Oh the Five of Cups opens this weekly brew with an energy of sorrow and longing.
Grief.
The G word is one that we dance with continuously in our lifetimes - sometimes it is a little “g” and others it is a big “G” and sometimes it is both that gushes in like a windstorm off the ocean coast.
The cards this week are about dancing with grief from a past that you have chosen to leave behind.
No coincidence that these are the cards that I pulled today as I sit looking out the window at the geographical landscape that is now nurturing me as I adjust to a really big ass life transition in my 50’s.
We recently made a move back to the midwest after being in the pacific northwest for over 25 years. It was a sudden move and a move of survival.
I was stuck, just like the figure in the eight of swords.
I couldn’t see ahead or behind as I was in survival mode.
Rooting into the energy of the High Priestess was the only thing that could keep me moving forward in what felt like a deep dark never ending abyss.
Although I know like I know like I know, that this threshold was divinely guided, I still had so much sorrow and grief at the time of the move and now four months later I find myself yearning to be back near the Salish sea, surrounded by mountains… crying because I wish we could go back.
I am juggling the flow of my emotions - two of pentacles.
Acknowledging the sorrow, the grief - the severing of dreams of what could have been and also nudging the deepest parts of myself to shift my focus from the three cups tumbled over at my feet to what is opening to me that I can not see in the remaining two cups behind me.
You see, even change that is expansive … that is divinely guided can be intertwined with grief.
The cards today remind us that part of crossing thresholds… of living in alignment with the truth of our soul… of saying yes to out future selves… requires a letting go, a release … a severing of sorts.
Even the most empowering change can bring grief to the surface of our existence in expected and unexpected ways.
The invitation is to honor what your heart and soul feels.
Tend to your grief, open to the lessons that grief has to offer and dance ever so gently with it as no matter the pain it brings, we must remember that it is a gift and a reminder of our humanity.
The High Priestess will answer your call.
She will rise to the occasion, often at the root of the upheaval that fuels one to cross thresholds. So as you set forth your manifestations, speaking yours spells, know that you are guided and protected.
Trust in Spirit.
Trust in yourself.
Honor all the multitudes of feels that arise and carry forth!
Thank you for hanging out!
