Tarot in the time of Covid-19 Reading #72 . Context of the situation: Ace of Clouds- Consciousness There is a crystal clarity available to me now rooted in the deep stillness that lies at the core of my being. Moving from the unknown to the known, and from the known to the unknown is an eternal cycle towards enlightenment . Where you need to focus: XII New Visions When I open up to the ultimate, immediately it pours into me. I am presented with an opportunity to see life in all its dimensions- that the dark and the difficult are needed as much as the light and easy. By allowing all life’s colours to penetrate me, I become more integrated. . Outcome: Ace of Water- Going with the Flow This is the state of relaxation, ease, receptivity, of being available, and trusting that the water movement will support me and take me where I need to go. Flow also can mean performing an activity fully immersed, feeling an energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process. . By cultivating awareness, we minimize wounding; by maintaining compassion and empathy for those of different genders, races, classes, regions, generations, and physical and mental capacities, we link to them. To maintain our connections, we must cultivate liberating insights / conocimientos and radical realizations that burst through the cracks of our unconscious and flow up from our cenotes. We need artistic expressions and efforts that heal and inspire, that generate enough energy to make a difference in our lives and in those of others. We must create new art forms that support transformation. Gloria Anzaldúa . This journey attempts to build on the powers of hope and resistance and magick.

Tarot in the time of Covid-19 Reading #72 . Context of the situation: The World- completion, integration The cycle has [nearly] reached completion. Only two assignments left to grade to end this semester. Everything has come together and I am in the right place doing the right thing. But I need to avoid the urge to rush into the next project, but savour this fruitful ending. . Where I need to focus: Wheel of Fortune reversed- resistance to change Forced change triggers resistance, and being told the fall semester will be remote and I will have to adapt my highly interactive, embodied, connected, experiential teaching is triggering me big time. But I have a choice: hope things get better or take action to improve the situation. This card is suggesting that I accept the inevitable in order to flow. . Outcome: The High Priestess reversed- stillness This card is my major arcana archetype, and so is very significant here. Once I let go of my resistance, I am called to be still, and draw my attention inward to tap into my wisdom. This will show me the way to adapt my teaching. I should avoid being swept up in the drama and hidden agendas of others. My intuition is my superpower, and through it I will find my way. . Jumper card: Five of Swords reversed- reconciliation A particular thing I need to pay attention to is to give up my oppositional stance. Forgiving allows me to focus my energies on more constructive activities. . Without imagination, transformation would not be possible. Without creativity, “other” epistemologies—those of the body, dreams, intuitions, and senses other than the five physical senses—would not reach consciousness. Gloria Anzaldúa .

Tarot in the time of Covid-19 Reading #71 . Opportunity: 6 of Swords- hope at last, releasing baggage This card indicates recovery from difficult times, and a mental shift. I am just beginning to not feel the effects of my burn-out starting two years ago. Hope is on the horizon and things will get better, achieving a greater mental clarity and a renewed acceptance of change. I need to rest, revitalize, and surround myself with joy. I should plan a short trip to lift my spirits. Perhaps the grocery store? . Challenge: 2 of Cups- unified connection This card is about the flow between two people- deep connection and love relationships. Yes, friendships are strained during this time of quarantine. And being isolated for 41 days with the same person… Luckily our house has 3 floors! . Outcome: 9 of Pentacle- abundance This card indicates that if these challenges can be met through hard work, then the benefit will be newfound stability, happiness at home, and the ability to enjoy the finer things in life. I can now finally enjoy the fruits of my labour. While Pentacles typically focus on material wealth, this card also suggests that I will be in harmony with the environment around me- the beauty and abundance found in nature, harnessing this high-vibe energy to bring pleasure into my life.

Tarot in the Time of Covid-19 Reading #70 About the Self . Me: Eight of Blades- empowerment, new faith, restoration . This is the card of intergenerational trauma interrupted by new patterns that sustain healing and growth, supported by profound institutional and individual social change. Remove the blinders and escape the chains. Face fear in order to act and move forward. Ask for help. . My current path: Lil Gourd dormant- isolation, vindictiveness. . Feeling wounded, stuck, and disconnected from wells of light, love, and gentleness. Interrupt this path through play and creativity. . My potential: Five of Blades: vindication . This is a warning about defeat and the many forms it can take if continuing on the path of feeling wounded. . We are all wounded, but we can connect through the wound that’s alienated us from others. When the wound forms a cicatrix, the scar can become a bridge linking people split apart. What happened may not have been in our individual control, but how we react to it and what we do about it is. Let’s use art and imagination to discover how we feel and think and to help us respond to the world. Gloria Anzaldúa . This journey attempts to build on the powers of hope and resistance and magick.

Tarot Pulls for Change Reading #68 . Past: The Page of Wands- the home of fire, free spirit . In whimsical moments I would put on my armour and step into the minefield. Trauma shut down this ability. I can reconnect with my courage and bravery by plumbing the depths of my magic. I am up to the challenge. . Present: The Devil- the shadow self, limiting beliefs . I have fallen into the trap of the internal oppressor, believing that this will bring me safety and survival. This has caused me to lose the connections to my centres of energy. I need to count my wounds, and forgive myself for submitting and quitting. My current question: What will it take to escape what no longer serves me? . Future: The 7 of Pentacle: long-term view, sustainable results . This is the work of the abuelita, a vision in the making for 5 to 70 years, a labour of love, deeply seated in beauty. My plans may have strayed from my heart, and my magic may have dulled by losing touch with my journey. But I can refashion myself to be the future echo of my past. Motto: Perseverance without expectation. . the universe is a web—tightly woven connections of all living things past, present, and future, containing both positive and negative forces.
