What are we realizing?

★ King of Cups reversed & Soulmates

We’re realizing how we relate to each other, emotional issues being overly guarded, and how we’re being fake, manipulative, and using weaponized (or misunderstood) therapy speak. We’re realizing a new layer of therapy teachings that we have been subconsciously rigid against, or just didn’t have the lived experience yet to fully understand, even though we thought we got it. We’re realizing how disconnected we’ve become with the land we live on, and the species we’ve been symbiotic with (there’s a reason why there are so many pigeons in our cities). We can’t take our animal relatives for granted, and we mustn’t neglect our relationship to them.

What needs our urgent attention?

★ 3 of Swords & Socialize

The massive loss of third spaces and commons. And our need to grieve with others. We can’t watch people die on our phones and scroll the pain away, stare catatonically into the wall, or go for “hot girl walks” to feel better. Like… you just watched someone die. Their whole life, gone. A family lost someone. We can’t see these horrors alone. We need to talk to people about this in real life, and at least on a phone call. And we must organize to stop this. General strike anyone?

On the commons, we must do everything we can to defend and re-establish them. While it’s easy to think the tragedy of the commons is inevitable, it most certainly isn’t. We need to talk about this more than we think we do.

What do we need to do collectively?

★ Temperance reversed & Spirit

We need to address our impulsiveness, arrogance, rugged individualism, impatience, recklessness, grandiosity, exceptionalism, purity obsessions with spiritual wisdom, not dogma. We must transform our binary black-and-white thinking into something else. Like knowing your values and care about aligning to them more than being “anti” anything. This is because words and movements transform with time, and can often be co-opted. One example is what Taylor Lorenz talked about in her podcast about how a lot of anti-ai content is actually pro-ai companies. Stay open to learning about the world and what’re really happening, and taking new information and corrections as blessings rather than insults. Applying your values as consistently as you can to stay introspective and hot will go a long way. This will carry you through these rapidly violitile times.

What do we need to do individually?

★ 7 of Pentacles, 4 of Pentacles reversed & Squaring the Circle

All caring professions involve shit, so to care is to deal with shit. The worst of what we do. We will always in some form be gross and disgusting, and even shameful. What happens in care when we don’t deal with shit? Those who need care are horribly neglected, become terribly sick, and die. Diapers don’t get changed because they’re stinky. They get changed to keep the person safe and healthy. If we want community so bad, we have to let down our guard and let ourselves be cared for. We must let those we love, love us. It’s time to learn the responsibility of care for ourselves and the land we reside on. It’s rotten work, but not if it’s you.

How can we do this in the most effective way?

★ the Fool & the Long Road

Recognizing that focusing on aligning our values with our actions and dealing with our shit is a new way of thinking and living for many of us. We gotta be patient with ourselves, each other, and the process. This work is paying off, which we will first know by subtle, but immediate, experience. We will only see its fully effects as time passes. Do this with a beginner’s mind.

What do we need to keep in mind moving forward?

★ Moon & Intuition

These are scary times, with so many lies, and we’re all feeling the anxiety and fear. The way to move through these times, in real interactions and online, with the thoughts in our head, is with our intuition. What is that? you might ask. Anxiety screams, intuition whispers. When you exhale, you will hear it. It’s the gut feeling you get the first time, anxiety is “what if?”. As Megan says “I should’ve listened to my first mind, and told your ass no the first time”, your first mind is your intuition.

What is stirring or lurking beneath the surface that we need to keep an eye on?

★ 6 of Pentacles reversed & Being

A new wave of male podcaster antics and scams seem to be coming. I know, they’re exhausting and stupid. But we need to watch out for our kids we take care of and teach them how to spot scammers and undisclosed advertising. And especially, logical fallacies and history. And feminist and womanist teachings. Many things that seem obvious isn’t obvious to others because they might have been parasocially raised as middle schoolers and teens by “high value men/women” content creators. When really, high value women/men aren’t real, it’s just playing into the hands of people who profit off of you falling for it (billionaires). Keep talking and posting about how this is bullshit. Share advice on how to become a self actualized PERSON, and how that has changed your life for the better.

What’re the good things we don’t realize are happening?

★ King of Swords reversed & Confused

The first thing I thought of when I saw these cards was “Musk?”, so I’m gonna go with it. There seems to be something that Silicon Valley tech bros are confused about, and that their next big projects (or new efforts in current projects) are much more flimsy than they publicly let on. Basically, some wins of the people and planet might be on the horizon, or opportunities to do some acts of resistance will arise. If not all this, then people seem to be waking up to how much information these companies control. And therefore, how much our worldviews have been shaped by whatever makes them the most money and gain the most power. People might start learning what experts really are, and taking the time to educate themselves and learn from experts.

What is the blessing to come if we take the advice?

★ World reversed & Life

If we take care of farming and pollinator and plant-related issues, develop our emotional connections and symbiotic relationships, redevelop third spaces and commons, engage in a nonduality sort of thinking, take care of the worst of ourselves with love, embrace a beginner’s mind, and act according to our intuition, we’ll have a second chance at life. A second chance at living fully embodied and truly appreciating the gift of life. We will accept what isn’t working for us, and move on into better things.

A closing message from Mother Earth.

★ 2 of Swords reversed & Cosmic Consciousness

One method of addressing the climate crisis and our fears about it is to become connected with the universe, lose the fear of death, stop believing in “sin”, see the miracles of the everyday and mundane, embody gratitude, and do light focused meditations. In connecting with the universe, we are no longer alone. Losing the fear of death brings you the power of the present moment, opens the door to live as you’ve been needing to, and overall makes you much less selfish. It gives you perspective too. Letting go of the belief in “sin” makes you act according to your values, not out of a believed command and fear of punishment, and helps you let go of resentment caused rebelliousness. Be a rebel because your heart calls you to it! Seeing the miracles of the everyday will not only make you thankful and joyful, but it will make you protective too. And goodness knows we, and especially the land, need protection. Light focused mediations, at least from my experience, make you feel a stronger sense of belonging and gives you clarity. All of this is needed in order for us to have perseverance in our work to heal our ecosystems, and tenacity to stop those who exploit them.

much love,
