Discs and Queen of Death
This week we enter Taurua season and the grounded energy is a welcome relief from all the fiery intensity of Aries. Our cards show how to use this moment and how to use its power.
Our first card, the Queen of Discs, thrives on the outdoors and encourages us to connect with the natural world. It invites us to spend time in nature to heal and improve our intuition.
The Queen of Discs is a planner. He is hardworking, responsible and takes care of business. He doesn’t want to be in the spotlight, but he makes sure that everything goes behind the scenes.
Queen of Discs is here to support us during this time. While we feel the urge to jump into action, the princess encourages us to consider the logistics and details.
What should we do? What are our first steps? New energy this week pushes us into planning mode. We can refer to projects and to-do lists more easily and enthusiastically. We keep things moving forward as we focus on the bigger picture.
The princess inspires us to pause and take time to plan our path to success. Recognizing the importance of saying no to distractions allows us to focus on our bigger ambitions. In addition, spending time in nature energizes us, revitalizes our energy and inspires our creativity.
Our next card this week is Death. We should not be afraid. Death is not an end, but a beginning; serves as the perfect guide to transitioning into a new astrological sign.
Death is letting go of the baggage we carry that makes our journey difficult. With this card we let go of the past and start anew with a lighter load.
Death creates powerful changes. For some, this change can be disruptive, while for others, it can be refreshing.
Most of us are afraid of change and something new. We are afraid because we want permanence and consistency. We want to hold on to what we have, even if it’s time to let it go.
But in the Tarot, Death is a card full of beauty and deeply powerful. When it appears, we are ready to say goodbye to things that cause pain. We are ready for a deep metamorphosis.
With death, we ask ourselves: what needs to be changed? What do we have to give up in order to progress? What must die so that we can live more fully?
By connecting with our inner voice, we hear what needs to be released. Whether it’s a toxic person, a stalled job, or a habit we’ve outgrown, we’re ready to let go.
There is always some pain with death. We have to admit that even when we release something that no longer serves us, letting go causes grief.
When you connect with what needs to be changed, honor it by performing a ritual or ritual of release. Write down on paper what you want to release, then give the paper its transformation.
This includes tearing it up and letting it burn, burying it in the ground, or saying the words on the page out loud. Whatever you choose, this ritual will help you honor the dying process.
Our cards encourage strength and help us let go of things that no longer serve us. We invite you to embrace your strong spirit and let go of behaviors that don’t align with your heart.
Mantra for the week: I release what can no longer be taken in, embracing the transformative healing power of nature.
