what energy does the tarot have for us this week?

join kirsten @givingmystical for this episode on the energies showing up for us this week... in this case, the eight of wands

life moves fast, you sexy thing.

eight of wands is a burst forth of LIFE. something you've been nurturing, gestating, and getting really excited about is ready to be launched.

and that's bittersweet.

because it was fully yours once and now it's out in the wild world.

and there is wind and weather and perception. and an utter lack of control.

but also pleasure and excitement and the possibility of watching something you created live it's own beautiful life.

it's giving birth. it's giving song. it's giving pleasure. it's giving awe.

much love and fair winds... may your magical dreams find their own beautiful flight.

what energy does the tarot have for us this week?

join kirsten @givingmystical for this episode on the energies showing up for us this week... in this case, the king of swords.

the king of swords is aware of truth. but also, of context. that no act is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. no thing is so clear as to be with qualification.

he reminds us of the need for curiosity. the need to speak truth but also, to listen for truth.

the gift of his presence is a more deeper understanding of what might be possible. his powers of discrimination, of channeling, of communication and of deconstruction are simply insane man.

he is inspiring and clarifying and compassionate. he seeks to find the common good. and knows that choosing the right words can make all the difference.

this week, look for his presence within you and in the people around you.

he is the master of the mental body. he teaches us much about the power of our thoughts, our perspectives and our language to change reality and usher in profound change.

super cool.
