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, what we need more of is 2 of Pentacles, what we need less of is 2 of Swords, and finally a special message of encouragement from The Fool.

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.

More: 2 of Pentacles

Life is a balancing act. Try not to think about balance as a place you arrive at and comfortably stay forever. The key is finding ways to cultivate inner peace as we move through balance. Balance requires being extremely present and making adjustments based on changing circumstances. There are some things that you can plan for, and some things you simply cannot. This month, try on the mantra, “I’ll know as I go”. Wait for information to arrive and shift along the way, trying to force balance is futile.

Do what you can to avoid operating on auto-pilot or making decisions based on “shoulds” or anxieties (whether they are coming from a pesky little voice inside or the big world outside). Instead of using logic to lock in a plan, work on trusting your intuitive ability to make decisions that are right for you as circumstances and openings reveal themselves.

Think of ways you can cultivate self trust and listening to your inner knowing.

Maybe allow yourself take a different route home than you usually do. Go someplace new, like a park or a museum, leave all plans, agendas, and expectations at the door and simply be open to going where you are naturally led.

Whatever you may be overthinking, try to release needing to know or figure it out. Maintain presence, curiosity, and trust as you let the opportunities and solutions come to you. And, try to have a little fun with it!

Less: 2 of Swords

Are you holding yourself back from something out of fear, or feel like it’s better for you to keep some big feelings to yourself? The 2 of Swords is here to encourage you to loosen your grip on your desire to protect yourself and control the situation at hand.

Instead of swimming in a sea of confusion inside your head, remove your own blindfold and look at what’s really in front of you. You might realize that you were trying to protect yourself from something that was never going to appear or happen in the first place. You will likely find that the thing you thought was so scary, is actually a gift in disguise.

We all saw Brene Brown’s TEDtalk, right? Emotional vulnerability is a risk, but it opens the door for deep connection, undersatnding, and empathy. Isn’t that what you desire?

You may be making things unnecessarily stressful or difficult. Recognize your own inner strength and autonomy, be brave, and look your fears right in the face. The truth will set you free.

Special Message:

The Fool chimes in with encouragement to throw your worries out the window and just follow your heart, even if it sounds or feels a little crazy. Yes, there is a possibility you could fall flat on your face, you might look dumb, or you may not be received in the way you hope. Buuuuut, there is also the bright possibility that you will leap to find yourself held by the universe in ways you never imagined possible. If you don’t leap, you may never know! And, what’s so bad about looking dumb anyways? Don’t let the fear of failure keep you from following your hopes and dreams. Try adding in a little playfulness, things don’t have to be so serious!

In the words of goddess Joni Mitchell, “No regrets, coyote”.

Your life is happening right now, try to BE IN THE NOW by making one courageous choice at a time this month. You’ve got this, precious brave one.
