November collective Tarot
As always, I’ve set the intention that this collective reading be clear, useful, and offer guidance for the greatest good of all. This month I pulled 3 cards, the first “What we need less of” is Strength reversed, the second “What we need more of” is King of Pentacles, and the third “A card of wisdom and guidance” is 9 of Wands. Below is our reading for November 2024.
My goal in sharing these readings is to spark moments of reflection and offer opportunities to connect with your own inner knowing. You are your own most precious compass.
Less: Strength (Reversed)
You might feel a desire to point out or try to tame the inner beasts of those around you. But the fact of the matter is that only others have the power to look at their own shadow and integrate those parts. It can be worthwhile to ask important questions, hold someone’s hand as they work through complicated feelings, or hold space for difficult conversations, but you can’t do the inner work for them. You can’t force someone to look at their shadow when they aren’t ready or they don’t have the desire to. Your life force is precious, now is a time to use your energy wisely and intentionally. This month it is advised to save your precious life force for what you can control, in your world and within yourself.
More: King of Pentacles
Acknowledge the abundance of resources you have available to you and think about ways that you can use them for good. Resources are many if we come from a mindset of abundance instead of scarcity. Assess resources like finances, time, presence, special skills, expertise, wisdom, friendships, personality traits, etc that you have. We all have some element of magic or wisdom that we can offer to help lift up our communities and create new possibilities. These pieces of magic or resources might be financial, but could also be as simple as extending an uplifting smile, sharing an herb you may have an abundance of in your garden, or being an active listener for someone in need. This month is a time to call in the clarity, truth, direction, and right action of the most loving King/Father archetype. Consider the wellbeing of the whole, think about the long game, be realistic about actionable steps, and get strategic about your impact. What are ways that you can use your resources to lift up the whole, to lift up folks that need your support right now? You don’t need to be a martyr or prove anything to anyone, you don’t need to pour from an empty cup, but it is advised to stand in your power and be generous and gracious where you can. Set clear goals and move intentionally toward them, use your unique gifts to light the way forward.
Wisdom Card: 9 of Wands
You may be feeling suspicious, uneasy, or on guard. Now is a time to protect what is sacred to you. Be careful what you say to others. Be mindful of who you are interacting with and if you feel you can trust them at this time. Protect and nurture your inner flame, avoid unnecessary conflict. Acknowledge any feelings of mistrust or fear that may be arising, focus on taking care of yourself and those you trust, and create an energetic protective bubble around yourself and what you hold sacred. Stay true to yourself, try not to allow anyone or anything siphon your energy and the hope of your heart-led dreams. Take a beat, come home to your own center, and do your best to hold onto what is true to you and your heart.
Recommendations and suggested tools + allies this month:
