It’s been a whirlwind month! After Halloween, it seems like life just got out of control! I’ve recently been promoted at my day job to an overnight manager and have been juggling working an entirely new shift and trying to get my sleep schedule under control. As much as I wished to keep reading Tarot during this entire period of transition, I’m glad I was able to take a small break to get my health and life on the right track.
Today’s card is the Nine of Cups. Nines represent the the end of the cycle, the completion of the lesson, the fulfillment of your journey. Cups are the representative of emotions and the heart.
Today’s message is that we are near the completion of a lesson for our emotions and our heart. We have been on a long journey this alone and we need to be kind to ourselves. We all have loved and lost and learned this year as we have watched the world try to turn while we have done our best to survive the arguably toughest year in a long time.
I know a lot of astrology lately has also been pointing towards the completion of many lessons and the opening of new doors. I think with the Solstice, the end of the year, Yule, the astrological Great Conjunction (if you’re one of those that enjoy the pursuit of astrology and it’s many deep and interesting meanings), we have had a whirlwind week and it is opening many doors for us to love ourselves and the people in our lives.
Let’s take the time today to love a little harder, a little longer, a little sweeter, especially to ourselves since we can all seem to neglect ourselves from time to time in our pursuit of living and loving those we know. Let’s take the steps to forgive ourselves for our regrets and remember that we’ve only gotten to this point in our lives by doing what we could to keep making it through each day.
Share something you love about yourself in the comments and let’s all share the love to each other.
