#ebb&ether tarot

Changing it up a little this week after missing last week because of bank holiday. Adding some of my altar trinkets instead of crystals. When I went to choose these called to me. So what is the mood for this week?

Take a moment, take 3 deep breaths, look at the cards & trinkets. Which of these calls to you?

🐚1 - Six of Pentacles

Think outside of yourself. The theme for this week is community. You’re not living in a state of survival anymore & you have more stability than before. So it’s a great time to give thanks for that, appreciate those that helped you get where you are & those coming up behind you. When was the last time you thought about the communities you are apart of? Be it neighbourhoods, hobby groups or friendships groups. When were you last really involved or invested in the circles you move in? No one lives in a vacuum. See what awaits if you reach out.

🦋2 - Ten of Swords

Ok yes this looks bleak… it doesn’t get much worse than laying face down with 10 swords in your back. This could be literal back stabbing or a complete breakdown. (emotional or physical) I know the solution will appear to be push through, get up and try again. But that’s just going to cause more damage. This is your sign that this path, person or issue you’ve been dealing with, it isn’t going to improve no matter how hard you try. It’s time to stop, process what has happened & in time let it go. Step away. It won’t be easy but it is necessary. 10s in the deck are the end of the cycle & as we can see in the background the sun will rise again. Endings lead to beginnings. When at rock bottom the only way is up. But don’t rush.

🤎3 - Three of Wands

Your past, present, future are aligned & everything is happening as it should. Your roots have taken, your growing & your ships are coming in. You’re in the midst of it now & it might seem slow going or that things have stalled but when something is really meant for you sometimes it takes time. Now is not the time to change course. It’s time for some self belief & confidence. And unfortunately patience. The sun is shining the flowers & blooming & you are supported. Trust in the timing of the universe.

So what is the mood for this week?

Take a moment, take 3 deep breaths, look at the cards/stones/paint colours. What of these calls to you?

🧡1 - Five of Wands & Sunstone

Things are feeling uncomfortable. You’re being pulled in too many directions. A lack of communication or understanding with those around you is driving you crazy. Take a breath, take a moment & reevaluate. The card shows you’re in a rose bed right now & it’s nothing but thorns but setting fire to the situation hasn’t helped at all… who knew?! Try the opposite, add water calm the situation. Listening to others, doesn’t mean you have to act on what they say. Focus on whats most important and let somethings slide for now. Once you’ve made it through to the green pastures in the distance you’ll be in a better place to take more on. The sunstone is going to help with clearing the negativity, reducing stress and bringing back some optimism.

💛2 - The Fool & Citrine

So much joy & energy here! It’s a great time for starting something new. You’ve got everything you need right there with you already. Approach this new quest with some youthful abandon & leave wisdom/cynicism behind for a while. Reconnect with your inner child. Play & create freely! Don’t let feeling foolish hold you back that’s where the magic is with this card! It’s not your problem what others think or say about you. The citrine will act as your personal power pack, it’s charging you with energy, confidence and prosperity.

❤️3 - Seven of Swords & Red Jasper

It’s time for reflection. This is not an energy we want to get stuck in, it’s a period to move through. You’re feeling isolated & your back is up. Something or someone just isn’t sitting right. Trust your instincts, be cautious & think strategically. It’s looking like keeping your plans to yourself might be the best bet at the moment. Our figure here makes moves in the dead of night while covered up. It’s their right to put themselves first and they’ve not left others badly (they’re taking 5 swords but they’ve left 2) but this way they have avoided the confrontation & done what they believe is needed. It’s ok to put yourself first just remember every action has consequences. The Red Jasper is going to help reduce some of that insecurity, fear and guilt. Bring you some calming gentle resilience and determination.

I’d love if you could like, share or even let me know which card is calling you!

🤍1 - Page of Swords & Clear Quartz

Page of Swords and Clear Quartz! Ooo this week is begging for us to use our brains. Quick wit, curiosity and smart communication are your friends. But stay alert that sword is sharp and double sided. And the Page shows that we’re not as experienced in using these tools as the Knight. Work on your ability to focus and find clarity. Don’t think you’re too experienced to start looking at things with a novice mindset.

💖2 - The Lovers & Angel Aura Quartz

Sing it with me now… “You’ve got the love I need to see me through!” I know this depicts a couple but the angel aura with this card is calling out inner love. It’s calling for self love, inner balance & introspection. We all have masculine & feminine energy, light & dark, action & intuition. It’s time to check in with the mind, heart and soul and see how we stand. It’s the perfect time to find somewhere peace. You are divine, treat yourself as such.

🖤3 - The Hanged Man & Hematite

The energy is heavy. But it’s not all that it seems. Our friend hanging here doesn’t look particularly stressed. The sun still shines & we’re not actually bound to anything. We’re not stuck, we just need a month of pause. And that is perfectly valid have you seen everything you’re going through?! Hematite is a grounding & balancing stone. Exactly what the card is asking for too. Try surrendering, changing perspective or actually going and spending some time in nature. See how much better you feel after. The figures legs also make the number 4 representing stability. Once we feel we’re back grounded on solid foundations the skies the limit for what we can build.
