Wednesday, April 3rd Tarot Reading

As today’s sun fills the sky with her radiant glow, for our reading, we draw upon the divine feminine energy through our spiritual guidance. We commence with The Empress, transition to the enigmatic energy of The High Priestess, and conclude with the rising hope of The Star.

Manifesting the motherly love of nature herself, The Empress represents the nurturing, creative force that brings forth life. This card embodies fertility of not only the physical realm but also the mental and spiritual aspects. The Empress inspires us to foster care and love, compelling us forward to birth new ideas, relationships, or even personal transformation. As the stoic philosopher Epictetus once advised:

“The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.”

Embrace the Empress’s energy by nurturing those around you, and, equally important, nurturing yourself. Like a mother caring for her child, take the time to cultivate love, compassion, and understanding within yourself.

Next, The High Priestess comes, shrouded in her cloak of mystery and intuition. As the guardian of the subconscious mind, she encourages us to look inward and trust our instincts. The Priestess invites us to leave the disturbances of the outer world and retreat into the inner sanctuary, seeking solace in wisdom over noise. Remember well the words of Seneca:

“They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.”

Only you have the key to unlock the doors to your inner recesses. The High Priestess urges you to go beyond the veil of uncertainty and fear. Meditate. Listen to the whispers of your soul. Revel in the wisdom and intuition that lies within.

We conclude our journey with the hopeful radiance of The Star. Signifying optimism and renewal, The Star showers upon us the light of inspiration and calm after a tumultuous journey. A beacon in the darkness, The Star encourages us to have faith in our talents and our potential. As Aurelius stated:

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”

Guided by The Star, recognize the flashes of insight and inspiration that appear in your life. Tread fearlessly towards your goals and dreams, for this luminous body in the sky shines to guide your way; its light diminishes the fear within.

Journaling Prompt: Reflect on an area of your life that needs nurturing. In what ways can your intuition guide you towards the fruition of your dreams? How has hope played a role in your life, and where can you place hope into action?
