IX OF SWORDS
Why do we so often rush to run away from anything ugly?
V OF CUPS
Grief floods us after we’ve been emptied out. Fills us up when there’s nothing left to give.
IX OF PENTACLES
Sometimes the hunger is for something that cannot be eaten until it is grown. Toiled over. Sown and watered.
V OF SWORDS
Virgo season promotes the practicality of pruning. Stimulates the strategy to simplify. Makes us minimize.
SON OF SWORDS
The Son of Swords is quite the camper. Quick to find the trail and just as happy to lose it.
ACE OF PENTACLES
The Ace is the thread prepped on the loom and promised for weaving. It is the eyes we make and what we mean by them.
V OF PENTACLES
Last week, we shed every last shell that could no longer contain us. We found new homes, nestling dreams in the sheen of broken abalone, proud of the possibilities brought on by blank space.
IV OF WANDS
The Four of Wands is simultaneously an opening and a closing. Drawing the curtains in order to close a window so we can stare at the scene without the wind chilling our bones.
SON OF CUPS
Pisces absorbs as much as it floods. Aims to fill us up as it empties itself. Blurs lines, bends boundaries, blends in so it can stand up in the name of the spirit that connects us all.
II OF WANDS
Direction is not always clear. Deep in the dance of eclipse season, the light on our paths finds a shadow to hide in.
IV THE EMPEROR
The California redwood tree stands tall, hundreds, perhaps thousands of years old. It has seen and braved the tests of time.
XXI THE WORLD
Last week we felt the winds of fortune, the changing wheels of time, ushering in the season of eclipses.
X WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Do you think a feather considers how long it spends floating in the wind? Is it concerned with getting where it’s going?
III THE HIGH PRIESTESS
If you don’t slow down how can you see the silk the spider spins? If you don’t sit still long enough, how can you mirror the morning glory who opens itself slowly like the rare, soft but strong sound singing from a single trumpet?
DAUGHTER OF CUPS
Neptune's waters seep into us until we come undone, like soggy sides of cardboard boxes, bending gender, calling us to come out of cartons, closets and categories.
V OF WANDS
When the energy of fighting ourselves becomes strong, we have to be diligent with our dreams but willing to open and expand the doctrines that design the paths to our objectives.
V | THE HIEROPHANT
This week, The Hierophant follows the Emperor, taking the structures we put forth to test the waters with possibly transcendent teachers.
IV | THE EMPEROR
In true Gemini season fashion, the astrology this week is guided by two stories being stitched through our sky.
XI :: STRENGTH
This week offers us some sensuous helpful aspects, plentiful moments to choose (it is Gemini season after all!) and a couple of harsh separations.
XIV :: TEMPERANCE
On Tuesday, Uranus - a god who represents liberation and flight to outer space heights - enters Taurus, the sign of our most stable and enduring earth.
