Reading of the Week - October 23, 2023

For our Community Reading for the Week Iris shares her insights on what is in store for us in the week ahead. This reading starts today (Monday, October 3rd) and runs through the end of the week. She is using the the Gentle Tarot by Mari in the Sky for this week's reading.


Macrocosm/The Big Picture:
Ten of Stones - We have inherited this world, and we are having to reckon with what our response to that inheritance will be. We are unlearning the terrible messages of history - that teach us that peace is impossible, that teach us that inequity is inevitable, that teach us to deny our responsibility to the future. This is the world we have, it is the world we will pass on to others, Not an ideal world, but one that can be beautiful with our careful tending. 

Microcosm/The Personal Level:
Flower of Cups - We are living, loving beings, and we have to hold space for ourselves and each other. Our bodies, our feelings, our curiosity. We must feed each other, food and care and understanding. We must add love to our interactions, we must approach kindness as a necessity. It's a defiant act, a rebellious stance to take against the heavy, entropic energies of our times.

Laser Focus/Future Goal:
Three of Cups - Reach for joy. Seek celebration of beauty, seek laughter, seek connectedness. It is impossible to fill the cup of another while your cup is empty - but a group excursion to the waterfall can fill everyone's cup at once. Set your intention toward creating the world you wish to live in. One with joy for you, for your closest beloveds, for everyone.
