September 2023 Tarotscopes are posted!

Hello tarot lovers,

Our September 2023 Tarotscopes for each astrological sign are posted! (Be sure to use the pull-down menu to find your sign.)

And our community pull is the Queen of Pentacles, represented here by the version from the Light Seer’s Tarot.

The Queen of Pentacles from the Light Seer’s Tarot

Look at how serene she is, not even bothered by the retrograde parade (ie the planets in retrograde motion this month: Mercury, Venus Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto). She is having a moment to breath in the fresh air, in daylight shaded by mature trees, at one with the natural world around her. She knows her earthy self, she is grateful for simple pleasures, she is at peace with her place in her world.

What a mentor for us this month! She serves as a reminder that no matter the chaos in our lives, we can return to grounded-ness with the breath, by “touching grass”, through physical comfort, sensual delights, gratitude and self-care.

 

 

Until next time, I’m wishing you a grounded, grateful month!

 

New video: Grounded Mindfulness (mini)

One of my resolutions this year was to make time for consistency in my mindfulness practice. You know, meditate more. It’s a brilliant mode of self-care, it feels so good…but it also feels a little selfish. A little decadent.

Then I thought, I could make it productive and share it. That feels less selfish, and way more inspiring! So I’ve been working on a series of meditation videos. Some will have a strong Tarot association – like some guided meditations *in* to the Tarot cards – meet the players (like the Emperor, the Fool, the page of cups) or explore the scene (like the five of wands). And some of the meditations will be generally supportive but not obviously Tarot associated.

Here is the first, a guided mini-meditation for grounding and centering. While inspired by the World card, it’s not “Tarot-heavy”.

This meditation is designed to support self-care in those times when you find your attention pulled into too many different directions. If you are in a phase where you find yourself too overwhelmed with obligations and distractions, it’s worth taking a few moments to breathe and re-orient yourself to your center.

Tips:
Use head phones.
Feel free to sit in a comfy chair or sofa that keeps you in alignment. (No yoga poses necessary.)
Please allow yourself 10 minutes free from all distractions.
This meditation is not appropriate for use during driving.

Although it’s a quickie, I hope you find it soothing and centering.

More to come!
