Where we've been & Where we're going

We're working with the Visions in the Liminal Space deck - Thank you Sara(h).

***First a reminder that I do individual and group cartomancy readings - they are great for transitional moments, lack of clarity, a spiritual gift for any occasion, or as a regular check-in for your self and your life. All sessions are on sliding scale. Reach out via the website to book, we'd love to channel for you <3***

Now let's get to the reading...

As I was shuffling I got a message to pull "where we've been" and "where we're going"

Where we've been: Playing God

I recently felt very affirmed by hearing @collectivecartomancy talk about reversed cards because I don't always read reversed cards as reversed but sometimes it feels like there's a meaning behind it. And the "Playing God" card was reversed when I first flipped it over which feels relevant to the energy around it.

Really resonates.

Let's see what the guidebook has to say:

"Resist the joyless impulse to micromanage your life or the lives of others. Nothing meant for you will require being controlled in this way. Attempts to do so are futile by design and lead to loneliness and conflict. Surrender is victory. Surrender to what is, to what wants you and what doesn't."

Wowie.

We might be coming to a place where we're realizing that all of our efforts to create something may have been misguided or not rooted. Kind of like a marionette. No matter how convincing you make the movement and performance - I mean the marionette is literally not grounded. It's floating unless you set it down - it's rooted up in the air. It's almost the opposite of grounded.

Shows you that anything you're trying to control, there's inherently a ceiling to it. Basically if you're playing "all powerful" that has a ceiling to it. When you're playing it, you are not it, you are fractioned off piece of the whole G-d thing.

So that's where we've been...lol

Where we're going: Life is Beautiful Life is Meaningful

Wowie x2.

I immediately get this sense of freedom of expression - floating but in a different way - feathers are almost like water in their airy-ness, they just ride the vibe (if there's gravity I guess).

And the levity of speaking freely.

Speaking LOVINGLY.

Let's see what the guidebook says:

"Until whatever great beyond comes to claim us we are here in a life abundant with beauty and meaning for those who dare to see it and make it. Have you ever noticed that it's precisely when hearts are most desperate that these tiny offerings are slipped under the door?"

This just feels like liberation and the balance truly to the previous card. The marionette has a blank stare, it's all controlled, not even standing straight...if you could be limp but standing up Weekend @ Bernie's-style.

And where we're going is freeeee. It floats with and on the breeze.Love letters flying through the sky. That to me feels like collective liberation.

Freedom of speech.

Energetic sovereignty.

Flow & ease.

This obviously isn't the whole picture of what's going on. This feels like a loving message of the macrocosmic pattern of what's present - where we're coming from and what we're moving into.

In a linear sense we're experiencing this stretch that is very uncomfortable. For a moment it helps to zoom out. But don't stay zoomed out for too long...

Demons & Intuition

Today's collective card reading is from the gorgeous whimsical brood of the Dreamscape Oracle, and hits on demons and intuition...

When placing the cards I got a general feeling of this being a diagram, like this is supposed to highlight our human - our selves. It might be we're moving through a confusing time where it still makes sense in a flipped way, and yet we're out of balance - maybe we don't know where to go. Very "surviving" not "thriving" energy. It's like knowing you're a great person but getting stuck, entangled, before who you are can actually be reflected.

"Summon the strength to help steady your spirit listen to your intuition and let it guide you"

Our collective intuition is out of balance - our collective spirituality. We believe that every modality and religion etc is different. Imagine if we believed that everything was one even if what you're doing looks very different from what I'm doing.

I suppose this is a call to check in with your intuition practice - what's your relationship with your intuition these days? Your "highest" self, most loving self?

Next let's tune into The Serpent - getting very Earth-y depths energy...

Yeah...our demons...

What if a demon was manifested by a feeling or a mood? Like if you were the shittiest version of yourself - what if that was being "inhabited" by a demon?

So our demons are maybe our mood or vices...I actually don't even like "vices" because that inherent positions good and bad.

Can it be felt as a sense of balance as opposed to good or bad, just moving one way and another.

I'm also noticing that if a tree is trying to grow and the serpent is eating away at the roots. Both want something righteous for their drives, but how does that align with what you want for you!

Lastly, The Word. (I don't think I've ever pulled this card from this deck)

I feel like this is encouraging us to share. That might be the way to integrate - start speaking, start writing down, etc. Right now we're letting our demons prevent us from feeling deeply, expansively, magically.

What's your practice of journaling or what practice do you have of getting thoughts out of your head even if it's speaking into a voice note? How are you getting thoughts out of your body? How are you physically processing your stories and experiences?

Remember a novel isn't dictated straight from the first draft, they are written and re-written and printed and re-printed, etc.

GET YOUR IDEAS OUT

There's an imbalance

You're stuck in your demons

YOU NEED TO GET YOUR IDEAS OUT SO YOU CAN CONNECT WITH YOUR INTUTITION

Simple as that, but might not be easy.

You are worth slowing down and taking time out of your days to process and digest to create space.

A SIMPLE MODELED SUGGESTION: attach a very short journaling check in to the beginning or ending of some daily or regular activity (like going to the gym, right before bed, on your lunch break, etc) and set a timer for 3 minutes for answering a question like how am I feeling? or what's present for me today? or treat the time like a private uninterrupted share of any kind I personally benefit from 10-20minutes of journaling with my meditation practice. You can make it look ANY WAY you want it to look. The entire point of this is to check in, not to change. Over time you might notice patterns and maybe feel differently which might offer up new understandings and ideas - let any "fixing" come naturally and you'd be amazing by a simple practice of checking in. <3

Embracing Transformation: Exploring Justice, Balance, and Imagination

The first card that came out was JUSTICE, number 11 in the major arcana.

We're coming into a time where we are feeling like we're emerging and re-emerging through newer and newer lenses of what justice means. There's a lot of change being required to stay in balance...if you're choosing to stay in balance.

It's okay for it to feel not in balance because that's what balance is - sometimes we need to walk to bridge of the light to balance out the dark - sometimes we need to crack open without knowing what's to come; trusting it's coming from a place of humility and releasing the mind.

Almost like the idea of "mind-blowing" - it's gone and needs something new to happen

The way muscles get rebuilt by ripping and building over new.

There's lots of imagery in the spread around wholeness, paths to wholeness, Earth and Moon, circles, spheres

The last reminder from Justice is that it doesn't look any one way. In fact it might look quite ornate. You might not be able to say "oh it's really simple like this" it might be complex and different depending on where you are. But this is just the suggestion to embody the sense that this is true for where we are collectively so we may be less reactionary and more grounded in a place of justice as opposed to grounding ourselves in an old way of being. Can we allow this time to be transformational? So we're less surprised when stuff changes.

The next card is 21 The World Cosmos

It just feels like this is where we're headed. And today's a day to really sense into that FREEDOM

Almost like a weightlessness of Earth - a celestial upgrading - like we're being held by the Goddesses

21 numerology is a nice number. It's a 3 which is very stable. Sustainable.

The World Cosmos is really inviting us toremember that part of the way we co-create realities is through IMAGINATION. Arguably the bulk of my human experience is filtered through imagination. If we don't engage with imagination then energy goes straight from the ego mind place into the physical world.

---

The last card is The Moon reversed

We almost have to separate emotions from this experience. Not invalidate them because they're clearly present and integral in this entire process - we got the Moon & Justice cards, water backdrop in The World Cosmos card.

What does balance look like if we don't let our emotions rule it?

If there isn't a "right" way to do it, no pre-existing expectation of what is up and down. It all feels like getting comfortable with change.

So today maybe you can find a moment to slow down and give your self permission to be okay with change...or be more okay with change ;)

Tune in and prepare your spirit and body. See if you can come into some sort of acceptance around "change is happening"

Balance is inevitable if we choose to accept that balancing is where we are, as opposed to already expecting our self to be in a changed place. Allow where we are to exist as it is in this liminal space.

The invitation is to anchor into a liberated and sovereign imagination because that's ultimately what's going to be balancing you during these times. Bringing the LIGHT.

We're not in a time of justice and balance from too much good...lol...almost in a time of balance from the opposite...

Take care.

Tune into your heart.

Breathe into your belly.

And may you change with ease and grace.
