Solar Power

In June, we tune into what brings us light

Arizona’s beating sun pulls me back firmly into summer sensations. In the mornings I rise earlier with the sun, while the afternoon heat lulls me into sweet siestas. Like a lingering lover, the sun is late to leave–dusting the sky in rose pink and lavender before the sky is sprinkled with brilliant stars. A familiar terrain greets me each day, in what feels like a kind of homecoming. After spinning through a series of cities and landscapes over the course of a year, I know I am not the same person as before. I have become worn as a river stone, and yet more refined. There is much I want to share and digest. At a national park tour near the Four Corners, a guide told us that the desert plants we saw were not just surviving, but thriving–enough so to bloom flowers, which takes an enormous amount of energy. I think about the ways in which June encourages this process, of shifting us from survival to thriving, by providing us with an abundance of resources. This abundance is what encourages us to share and grow in a vibrant familial community, to replenish and save surplus for when we need it.

August Forecast

August 3, 2022

Happy August! How is everyone feeling coming out of the recent Leo new moon? Personally, it helped me release a lot of blockage and some of the things I was overthinking about. The Leo energy also helped me vocalize what it was I wanted to bring into my experience. I hope it was a positive experience for you! Included this time are some optional mixed media recommendations that could lend more insight or interaction with the energy of the card I pulled. Read below for a general reading for what to expect in August 2022.

 

Energy of the Month: Reverse 7 of Pentacles (Spark Joy ~ book by Marie Kondo)

This month we're being asked to play the role of metaphorical gardener and take a higher perspective to see which creations ("plants") of ours need pruning. Some of the newer plants that we've been caring for have parts that are wilting or drying up, and we will be asked to sacrifice those parts in order to save the life of the plant. Naturally as the gardener who watched over this our new creation lovingly, we may feel a sense of attachment to every part of it and feel discouraged by what feels like a setback or failure. We may not want to acknowledge it and want to leave the lengthy vines as they are. There is an opportunity here however-to pare our vision down to its truest form, and to use some of the plant to propagate new ones that we can share with our friends and family. 

 

Love: Page of Cups (Rewrite Your Story through the Eyes of Love ~ Lavendaire Lifestyle Podcast Episode 2)

This is a lovely card to come up in a love reading. In this part of our journey, we feel a youthful energy in love, as if rediscovering it all over again. We are finding our footing and grounding each step of the way. We've removed our thinking cap and are now seeing through the eyes of love. We progress on the alchemical journey of life through the balance of male and female principles, and create something lush and in harmony with our nature. We walk with golden shoes, moving ever closer to spiritual richness through love.

 

Money: 5 of Wands (Fig Tree ~ poem by Sylvia Plath)

In money, we are feeling stuck in a crossroads because of the paths we may miss out on or have missed out on by choosing one path over another. We are caught in the center of the hourglass and preventing the sand from passing through for as long as we can, but inevitably time will move forward whether we'd like that to be the case or not. How can we make peace with where we are now, rather than looking at where we could have done better? 

 

Work: Reverse King of Pentacles (The Gifts of Imperfection ~ Brene Brown)

We are experiencing resistance and a desire to control our work path, perhaps in response to finances or a perception of finances. We are feeling guarded and wanting to use a domineering masculine force to control the work experience, and it is not grounded in intuition. We are looking a lot to the past to inform our work experience rather than looking forward with a vision towards what would work for the future.

 

Health: 9 of Cups (Habitica - Mobile App)

In health we are feeling that our cups are filled. We feel satisfaction towards the path we've chosen to increase a sense of health in our lives, and the effect that it's had on us. Perhaps we've surrounded ourselves with a healthy community, improved a routine, or focused on self care in the past months. This month we can readily acknowledge the rewards and benefits that we've experienced in health as a result of our own actions. We are here because of all the ways that we keep showing up for ourselves!

 

Spirit: 6 of Pentacles (Shine on You Crazy Diamond ~ song by Pink Floyd)

Our spirit this month is strong and we can grow a lot by looking into the mirror of our creation. If this does not look like what was intended--remember that nevertheless you are a powerful creator who manifested it into your reality. This month we are supported and empowered in spirit through strength, love and health. We are resilient beings who have overcome so much--and our spirit shines all the brighter in overcoming that. This month we are able to stand strong in the truth of who we are; we can both reach out when we are needing encouragement and inspiration and in turn are able to give that energy back out.

 

Until Next!
