It truly feels like our "opportunities lie in a lighthearted approach," being open to the moments that offer tiny blessings and seeing them as they appear. When I shake off the sleepy fog from my eyes, I realize I’m living the life I’ve been working toward through all the difficult reckonings with past conditioned behaviors—patterns that may have served a purpose at one time but no longer align with my understanding of who I am now. The challenge from the Queen of Swords seems to be about staying open to shifts in perspective, being okay with not knowing, and releasing the need to fix or control everything. It’s about continuing to balance my inner world with my outer experience of reality, finding what I value in that space of reciprocity, and embracing the flow rather than forcing clarity. Thank you, Gina!
Thank you Gina, I love this! Going to reflect on a flexible and simple life, and bring into it more dancing (maybe - especially - literally). I think I now see the combination of the second of pentacles and the 10 of cups as an invitation to more youthfulness too (as the ones dancing are the 2 children). Maybe in order to integrate this month's wake-up call, I need less analyzing (to try and make sense of it all) and more playfulness. What would it look like to come back to simplicity and maybe even, less responsibilities?
This resonates with me too, Mady! Thanks for sharing and offering a wider perspective on how the cards are channeling energy in our lives. I’ve been feeling called to take little dancing breaks or just stand up and jump a bit during transitions in my day—before moving from desk work to dishes or even walking the cat. And also finding moments of stillness, like just sitting and cloudgazing, as I did in my younger life.
I love the idea of cloudgazing! How wonderful! I used to do this so much as a child, and I can't remember ever being bored! Thanks so much for reminding me of this - I will put some time aside this week for this 😍
