As always- I share what I feel and the message that comes through. Notice how your body feels when you look at the cards. What additional messages come to you?

- - - - - -

Today, the cards feel charged to me. There is a sense of action, of freedom through surrendered movement... but also clear boundaries and containment.

What are we saying yes to and what are we saying no to?

That matters greatly. It affects the outcome.

If your actions are not aligned with your body’s yeses and noes, here is an invitation to do so:

We have unlimited potential energy, unlimited creative potential.

What you want matters just as much as what you don’t. What activates joy, pleasure, fulfillment in your body? Where do you feel the type of belonging that lifts you up? Where can you lift up others?

And how prepared are you to hold so dear, so sacred, so protected the tenderness of joy, of liberation, of our own wildness?

That is what boundaries are- a protecting in order to liberate that which is tender.

Liberatory courage, connection, action, and pleasure- all watched over by your own lion heart.

Where do you source your inspiration from? What about your enough-ness?

Do you have somewhere safe and secure feeling where you can bring all of you forth and offer it up?

Where belonging is not contingent on sameness and conformity?

We are dreaming the world that will someday be. It will be a reflection of us in this moment.

Creating an internal sense of stability, of unconditional belonging will allow that to manifest in the outside world.

To do that requires us to really look at ourselves. To see our wounds, yes. But also to see our own divinity.

And to then turn around and see that reflected in others. To allow our community building to come from a wholeness within. And to surround ourselves with circles that reinforce our wholeness.

Inner and outer, dancing together. Co-creating. Creating a feedback loop of vision and action, collective and individual.

Stop sacrificing you to fit in. That belonging will never feel secure.

We must see what has worked and tend that. And what has truly (not seemingly) worked for one will work for many. We are interconnected.

The Ten of Swords is the energy we are being invited to pay attention to, making deliberate choices in order to see the results we’re longing for.

It’s a reminder that sometimes falling is inevitable. That at times, it feels like we have no support, like life is out to get us.

And in those times victim mindset will only make it harder to flow with life, to learn our lessons. To pick up the pieces.

While we don’t have control over life, and our feelings are always valid, shifting mindsets can shift perspective. Life is not happening to us, but rather for us.

The High Priestess is the potential energy we could have access to if we choose mindfully around where the Ten of Swords is showing up in our lives.

They are wisdom and ritual, embodied.

They are healing and transformation.

They are us, becoming our ancestors wildest dreams.

They are cycles and liminal space. Non-binary. The keeper of paradox.

Through embracing it ALL, they float, rather than fall.

The consciousness that wants to help us turn our struggles and sacrifices into wisdom and power is the goddess Eirene- peace. Tender and loving. Full of life.

Notice where the feeling tone of the Ten of Swords is showing up in your life.

Where do you feel like everything is coming undone and you have no support? Where are you sacrificing, collapsing, feeling powerless?

And what can you shift, either in mindset or in tangible reality that might align you more with peace, even in the midst of challenges? Where can you call in more tenderness? Is there support you can call on so you can feel held, either internally or externally.

And then think about the feeling tone of the High Priestess. What do they feel like in your body? Where does that tone already exist? Where is it starting to show up? Where can you orient more towards it?

Have courage, dear visionaries and wild hearts.

The healing waters of justice are the healing waters of love.

Are you committed to love?

To a love that is sometimes fierce in setting boundaries?

To a love that allows for loss and death?

To a love that seeks the highest good for all, even when it’s hard?

It’s new moon. A time of darkness and slumber. Of planting seeds.

The slumbering dragon’s treasures are actually dreams, imagination, possibility... tempered in daytime with wisdom and the reality of what it is to be human.

You are invited to stand for and as love. To dream as love. To be human, as love. To right the wrongs of the past and present... as love.

You are supported by love.

You are love.

What actions become clear and possible when you allow yourself to own the full depth of the love that is you?

What miracles are possible when we see each piece of our lives as loving, through the eyes of love?

Take a few breaths in and out and become aware of at least one sensation in your body and then let yourself take in the cards. Notice if any new sensations arise or anything shifts throughout your system. Perhaps there’s a message for you there. Be curious.

Notice in particular the feeling tone of the two tarot cards in the center. Notice the differences.

One is about holding up the world, being capable but perhaps not noticing the cost. When we shoulder all burdens, we do pay a price.... and all those whose burdens we shoulder pay it with us, even when we think we’re shouldering to protect. Where in your life is that feeling tone present? Did those you’re helping ask for it? What parts of you wither? What might be the middle way?

The other tarot depicts communion, reciprocity. Seeing ourselves mirrored in the beings around us. Seeing outer beauty as a reflection of inner and vice versa. A take and a give. Knowing when enough is enough. Trusting in abundance and the constantly emerging future. Does the feeling tone of this card show up in your life anywhere? How does it land in your body? Keep in mind that unfamiliar is often uncomfortable. If you are unused to pleasure, it can feel scary.

So instead of looking for ease or comfort, explore which feeling tone feels more whole. More grounded. More expansive. Holds both what is and also whatever may be.

Fearless authenticity asks us to be honest with ourselves. Which price is higher: the cost of sacrificing yourself? Or the cost of being yourself?

Banksia reminds us that no matter how far down one path we’ve gone, we can always start anew. That each exhale is a release, each inhale a refresh.

The world desperately needs us more whole. It is only through wholeness that we have a hope of hurting ourselves and others less. The time is now. Start where you are with what you’ve got. It’s enough. You are the gift.
