Happy Spring Everyone! Below is a general tarot energy reading for our spring healing. For those of us who have experienced dormant winter months, this is the month where we will undergo some spring cleaning and April Showers (to give way to May flowers). This is the clearing, freshness, and vibrancy that we've been waiting for.
Energy this Month
Five of Pentacles
~Plant Energy: Mandrake~
This month we are very much a mandrake - we feel rooted in the earth and we are experiencing some growing pains. We want to spring forward into our new active life, but we still have some remaining work and growth to do this month before we can go out and about. There may be some remaining stillness and setbacks this month that could be frustrating to us -- but this is just the last burst of growth that we will be needing to close any old chapters before we can enter the new one. We feel all too human, and are reminded of our human limitations and joys. This month is asking us to find enjoyment where we are --while we are where we are.
Love
Ten of Wands
~Plant Energy: Kaffir Lily~
Our understanding of the ideal approach to and within relationships is coming to a closing of a complete cycle. We created this ideal at an earlier phase of our lives and April will show us how far that has taken us up until this point. Perhaps you had ideal traits you were looking for within a partner, or an ideal shared lifestyle with your partner. Either way, we will have a new found realization that is aligned with a new understanding of our relationship with the Divine. The old chapter is about to close, and we are about to grow beyond anything we had previously imagined for ourselves--which will be even more aligned with our highest good than we had imagined. We should still integrate all the positives we have learned thus far--like a mighty bundle of arrows, these integrated lessons will bring strength and fortitude into our next love chapter.
Money
Four of Swords
~Plant energy: Blue Columbine Flower~
If we return to the metaphor of the mandrake, our head, i.e. our seat of logic and intellect, is above ground in April (whereas our heart is getting ready to emerge from gestation, and bloom into something new). Hence, financially, we will benefit most from leaning into our intellect, our connections, and our interpersonal skills. We are sharp-witted individuals, whose ancestors have survived and passed on their resiliency to us. We have sharpened our wits and our communication this far, which in itself is an accomplishment. Now we are being encouraged to take healthy risks regarding our future visions surrounding money. Find a small supportive network, or lean into the one you have, to gain ideas, understandings, and opportunities from one another. You have a clear vision of your aspirations and where you want to ascend to--now is the time to start that which will help you step into your financial future.
Work
Four of Swords
~Plant: Blue Flax Lily~
In our work, we have learned what makes a stronger, more sustainable foundation to support our life passion and inner spark. We can trust basing our decisions on this wisdom fully. Work that brings us wholeness and stability will provide the space for the freedom and growth that we want. We will find ourselves wanting to devote and commit ourselves to the work that sustains this powerful vision. Follow the fires of passion, and mature into the individual you want to be--the you that fulfills your unique life purpose.
Health
Queen of Pentacles
~Energy: Queen Bee, honeycomb~
This is the month we can harness your "Queen Bee" energy, in regards to our health. We can trust that we have built the right foundations for our spiritual and bodily grounding. We are a strong, gentle governor of our personal health, and we can be confident that whatever we hold in our mind's eye in regards to our health will bring us to the right place. We can follow our impulses to try life's sweetness. Our thoughts and visions take a healthy root in our minds and bodies, and will create the perfect honeycomb to support our health. We find strength this month in family, unity, and warmth. If we are able, we can get our family and/or community involved in healthy activities, healthy eating, and healthy lifestyles.
Spirit
Reverse Justice
~Plant: Live Oak Tree~
In Spirit, the place we may still be holding ourselves back in is "Justice." Have we stepped into acceptance of what we are fully worthy of and deserve? Are we hesitating in any area to make the necessary cuts (think spring cleaning, and Marie Kondo energy) with the last chapter of our lives? Where can we find the grounding, strength and stability that would support and keep us steady in the new chapter? How can we help our inner "Mandrake" fully emerge from the ground that is holding us?
This month, we are being called to open our third eye to see what we need to cut what binds us--this may take a level of honesty that we may be uncomfortable with. There may be some heaviness in our hearts that we want to alleviate in the areas that we can control. Once we are able to master and harness the Justice energy--we are able to govern our lives the way we see fit in our mind's eye.
Good luck fellow "Mandrakes"!
