How was everyone’s April? Did you socialize at all? Feels like we’re slowly waking up from winter. Letting our bones thaw and moving again. May and the moon say, amazing, love that now can you get back to examining truth and choosing from that place? Can you make choices and progress which align with your inner truth?
There’s no rest for the weary. The goal however is harmony not just examining ourselves for the sake of it. Less navel gazing and more internal audit. It’s not some Scientology experiment to make us purge our truths to then weaponize them, I promise. Tarot would never do that to us. It’s asking what do you REALLY want and is that what you’re saying, asking, and moving towards? Or are dancing around it and wondering why there’s unease? The World, the energy the Full Moon is illuminating is less about obliteration of the old or previous self and more about the integration. What space would be created if you gave yourself credit? What can you validate without an external marker? Cause the change has happened internally after all. Don’t worry the external will catch up and match at some point, however we can’t go in a circle waiting for it. The plane must take off, it can’t stay at the gate waiting for the destination.
How often are you thinking about harmony? I rarely if ever thought about it pre-tarot. If anything I don’t think I really understood it is something we can order off the menu of life. It’s also been illuminating to me like most things it’s not an end destination you often just arrive at. You often have to be making decisions along the way that end harmoniously. I don’t just expect harmony when I travel with my mother, I think ahead of what will create the conditions for it (separate rooms). I also have to do the uncomfortable part of asking for what I want versus just expecting to be mind read. Annoying, gross and there has to be a better way but alas there is not. Harmony isn’t about getting your way, (if your harmony is good luck in this life), however it’s about what creates peace, alignment, and tranquility. Often to experience these things there’s a piece of ourselves we have to leave out of the pie that isn’t self abandonment but really is maybe the editing out of our inner toddler. Can we quiet the toddler and get some peace?
May wants us to think a lot the root of choice. What are we choosing it? Are we in service of it? Do we think it’s possible? Can we zoom out from whatever we’re focused on and think about a broader picture? Can we see where the blinders are too tight? Do we confuse domination with harmony? Lots to contemplate this month.
Let’s see how it goes!
Reminder for paid subscribers, we’re back in the book saddle May 11th, kicking off with Lena Dunham’s Famesick. Love her or hate her, the woman shares her truth so can’t wait to discuss with everyone.
Lemme know how your Spring is going so far, and I’d also be curious about people’s harmony thoughts, and relationship to it.
