We're Trying To Find Stability: a collective card reading

We're Trying To Find Stability: a collective card reading for the Highest most expansive wellbeing of all, and harm to none:

Feeling called to pull three cards

Three stacks popped out of the deck

In triangulation of how you're feeling, with some reassurances

9 of Cups reversed

You might be feeling like you're not special

You might be feeling that you're contorting your self into a place that you don't want to be

Or is it just the discomfort that comes with trying something different than what you consider as usual for you - the reverse still has that same energy of the knight and because it's with emotions I'm feeling maybe it's trying something new that's uncomfy...

I'm wondering if there's anything in your current experience that feels negatively like "this is what happens when you try something new"

Because look we're in alignment, this 6 of Wands

It feels maybe kind of intense, but there's also something about the image - every monster has a little twig for its mouth

I also get a spiritual sense with a 6 relating to guidance

This idea that G-d doesn't give you anything you can't handle - if you're here grappling with it, then you are literally able to handle it...to some degree

This isn't to gaslight or enable oppressive ableist behavior, it's a reframing from another perspective - is this a call to action and agency?

So if this is the base of our triangle, the idea that we're being taken care of and it might feel a little twisted right now, we're supporting this masculine energy of the

King of Wands - feels very Aries to me

That fiery inspiration of wands

The action of wands

The sense that we are in the driver's seat of our life

Control can be a good thing - we need some form of control to navigate the physical

It's not all a freefall - at some point we're controlling some thing - think of control as a dial, if turned up too high can be problematic

I'm also getting this King of Wands energy really requires the Spiritual

What if our crown that we wear isn't actually on our head so we don't ever take ownership of it?

...the crown is just an energetic hue to our aura having mastered something or having moved into the driver's seat of our life...which ultimately makes us a creator

What does it mean to embody all that you are with confidence?

...without hiding it?

What sort of wisdom and clarity is apparent in you?

On the bottom of the deck we have the 9 of Wands - a little reminder that we're nearing the end of something

I have this analogy metaphor thingy about setting boundaries; that it feels like plugging up a hose with your thumb - the water pressure gets really intense at the very end when you're right about to fully plug it

Expect there to be a sense of uncertainty

Expect that when you reach the end of a treacherous path, that too may feel unstable

You don't have to change anything, just acknowledge that this could be part of this journey

That's the vibe I get through all of this - we're trying to find stability

There's desire for stability but from the pull I get the reassurance that this too is "stable"

We might want to label orderliness as stable and disorderliness as unstable...maybe there's a neutral, for lack of a better word, way to view "stability" in a sustainable sense

How are you growing

And can you acknowledge that this too is stable, that this too is trending with stability?

Take good care as we navigate the fiery charge of Spring through another eclipse amidst a Mercury retrograde...

Remember that when we seek guidance we are likely just wanting affirmation or space to affirm our own knowing

I channel this for the collective and it may all or some or none relate and resonate

You are invited to share this reading or another moment of connection with someone you hold dear

The more interconnected we are, the softer the weight of the changing world

Much love

Intention of Balance

Pulling cards for the collective from the Tree Angel Oracle Deck - For the highest most expansive wellbeing of all - What does the collective need to know right now? What needs to be clarified?

The first card is. Field Maple, number 14.

I get this really grounded energy. It literally feels like it's sitting on the forest floor. It's funny we think of trees as standing up, but what if they were actually sitting down or lying down haha...funny thought.

Anyhow, the first feeling I get to is the reminder of the magic of Earth energy. When was the last time you connected to the raw earth? Put your hand on the grass, or just sat under a tree?

Let's see what the guidebook has to say...

The Field Maple teaches us to serve without expecting reward or recognition. "We simply do what needs to be done because work is love made manifest. The person who brings themselves into resonance with the Field Maple starts to demonstrate qualities such as foresight, honesty, reliability, common sense, efficiency, and good organizational abilities among many others."

Yeah this really feels like having your energy right-sized with the Earth. Making sure you are tending to what you need to be tending to, which involves checking in more to make sure. So it might mean making a point to check in more.

The second card - Walnut number 2.

It's funny this has an image of a triangle but it's a number 2. Might be some contradiction we're feeling about this message. I get this Earth Mother" energy and a little bit of a balance theme but from more of a spiritual or angelic place. Whereas Field Maple felt more like an animist kind of energy - to connect with all that has spirit. Walnut feels more like an angelic or a Goddess energy to me.

Yeah, there's really a balance to who you are on the outside and who you are on the inside and the different levels of protection we have for ourselves really. We can't always be our most vulnerable selves all the time. AND protection that is sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves in the moment.

Take a moment to acknowledge that balance that is at play. It's okay to feel that movement and difference between the different versions of yourself and what you may need to do to feel safe at any phase.

"Walnut is one of Earth's ancient mothers because of the nourishment it provides. Of course the Walnut nourishes us in a material sense through its fruit but it's spiritual gift is wisdom. Coming into accord with the Walnut angel strengthens our foresight, understanding, sensitivity, and ability to empathize. This creates a healthy foundation for our powers of judgement and sense of justice."

This card is also referencing a balance or at least an acknowledged sense of balance for energy. We aren't just behaving un-checked we need to be intending balance. When we're not intending balance it causes "quarreling" but like an energetic conflict.

It's really tough to say because it also takes violence to get to that inner walnut meat. So our sense of balance is not necessarily defined concretely or defined properly by our cultural norms.

To be in right relationship with judgement and a sense of justice really means to be in balance with all that is. Sometimes that's waiting. Sometimes that's acting.

Wrapping up it seems like extra heavy attention to grounding into nature, the earth. When there's a lot of disruption these questions come up: where are you centering your self? Where are you getting your baseline from? What are you aligning with?

Only "good" i.e. generative things come with checking in with Earth and nature and all that is. We can't control everything so there's at least one other thing that exists that controls some thing else - the things we can't control. We can't balance forever on your own (and that framework of balance is inherently flawed).

You might be feeling what you think is balance. But checking in can reveal the imbalances we put up with. It sort of like the threshold for pain tolerance or discomfort. Find what all this means for you. You might need to go on a walk alone. Journal. Aquarius bring Air which is a great time for expressing as well as connecting socially. Honesty is brave. Authenticity is healing.

With an intention of balance.

Intend that this is all for healing.

And so it is.

This is all a healing journey

The first card we pulled is The Priestess, a two.

We are tuning into our intuition in new ways.

Trusting that this is a part of our journey - our seeking journey. And encouraging you to continue sensing into that energy (e.g. if it's challenging at the moment, remember you are a seeker and a questioner and that's part of the path).

Remember the world didn't start with you in this lifetime. Think of your ancestors - consider where you came from. Embody that to move forward.

Next we got the Page of Emotions.

Watery element. This may be about your character.

Reminding you of your basics. Remember to breathe into your belly and shine with your heart.

Maybe you feel like a shapeshifter or a little alien when stepping into your power, whatever that means. But let that make you unique.

Light shines through water.

Next we got a 5 of Inspiration (also wands).

A very reflective place to be.

Notice when we remain curious and when we look away.

This also might be a time of shifting our energy - knowing what we're capable of and shifting into a different aspect of channeling it.

Elements of Fire. This is an active phase of choice.

Last we got the 2 of Inspiration.

Maybe we're seeking connection. Maybe we're finally making connection.

This is another 2 like The Priestess. Along with the Page, a sense of "amateur" or "starting out" kind of energy. The feeling of the first act of whatever story this is that you're moving through.

You might need to remind your self of your power because you're at this pivotal moment where you're shining in all your unique-ness. And it's humbling to your ego because you're kind of at the beginning of something again.

Lastly I felt called to pull an overall theme card.

We got Healing.

When I pulled it I felt this feeling of "what if this is all healing?" It might be unconventional, but you can experience and frame all this as a healing process.

Self acceptance and spiritual awakenings can all be framed as a healing process. Some might adapt an achievement based framework to life, but what about healing as a somatic practice - sensing into wholeness.

Thinking about a rose, knowing we go in phases. Sometimes a rose bush is random twigs or super cut back. Some of my neighbors even cover them with plastic bags because of the climate. And then other times they are these beautiful blooming rose flowers and the shrub is lush with rose hips scattered throughout.

Remember your phases. Acknowledge and embrace your seasons.

A suggested journal prompt(that I might even take myself lol): What phase of healing would you be in right now if this is all a healing journey?

This is a very tender read but an encouraging spiritual hand on your shoulder from your Guides. I hope you are taking care <3
