Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: We’Moon Tarot, by Musawa, published by Mother Tongue Ink.

Card: One(1) of Earth – All One – Artwork, Mother Nature at the Age of Three by Robin Waters (1993)

The week ahead is likely to focus on being comfortable in one’s own body and on renewed recognition of the spiritual connection to nature, the environment, and the planet. This renewal is equally likely to help fuel the start of new endeavors and open the way to greater prosperity with new opportunities in abundance. There may also be an element of reconnecting with one’s inner child, especially when an effort is made to “touch grass” and spend time reveling in nature.

In contrast, there is a potential to place greater value on appearance, social status, technology, and material possessions over emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health and well-being. Becoming fixated on acquiring wealth and elevating one’s social status is unlikely to ameliorate unhealthy behavior and feelings that are rooted in imbalance within the body, mind, or spirit. It may also lead to missing important signals within personal and professional relationships that could undermine future success.
