I’ve been thinking about our home. How much I depend on it. How much I love it. How much it supports and sustains me. And how much I take it for granted. May I find the balance offered by the Mother to celebrate it, nurture it, and balance it with the outside world. #mlstarot2017 #minorarcana #courtcards #motherofpentacles #thewildunknown #tarotcardoftheday
Alright tarot reading friends- tell me: how do you relate to court cards? Alex and I have been repeatedly drawing from the court super frequently of late and, honestly, my response is: “eh, there’s always tomorrow for a meaningful draw.”

It’s going to be a long long day. The strength I need is gentle and calm. It holds things lightly and protects what’s important. But it’s also maybe intimidating enough that predators stay the ;$@: away from me. #mlstarot2017 #majorarcana #strength #thewildunknown #tarot #tarotcardoftheday #cardoftheday
Rest, recovery, revitalization. I’ve spent the last tree days wrapped in the embrace of my beautiful husband. We partied, we played games, we talked, we ate, we had it all. There’s a feeling of hope in the air and I’m feeling very ready for another trip around the sun.

Just to make it through a whole day of adulting, we spend an enormous amount of time and energy silencing our inner wisdom and launching ourselves into action. As the year closes out, give more space to silence and stillness and, if necessary, act from there.

The storm is passing, the waters calming. Safe movement is possible, and new adventures are waiting.

Laboring, laboring, and seemingly getting no closer to the goal. Put down the work and contemplate: maybe a new vision is needed? Or a different framework? Don’t spend much time worrying about your ability. Ask about your approach.

For years I’ve had my eye out for the teacher who would lead me to the mysteries. Always searching, but always judging and passing up opportunities as quickly as they arise.
I don’t really have spiritual friends and guides. It’s one of the things that I’m reminded of when the loneliness starts to creep in. No congregation, no sangha, no yoga class…and yet these things are relatively easy to locate.
Harder still to find the sherpa to lead me through the sometimes alien landscape of gayness, seeing as how I adopted such a conforming approach to being ok.
I see this card as a reminder that if I pass up the opportunity for new experiences, I’m never going to find a teacher to lead me to new heights. May I always be a receptive student and my teachers have patience with me!

The interpretation is a little confessional for the tone that I try to strike on Instagram. Maybe an appropriate interp here would be something like:
Shit got real bad / shit got real good / shit’s evening out.
It’s that evening out that l find difficult. “Moderation” isn’t really my jam. But I’d very much like it to be.

There’s so much more to go around than you expected. Be generous and be grateful and, perhaps most importantly, enjoy your harvest!
