Monday, 17th June 2024: Tarot Guidance

As we sit in the half-light of the breaking dawn, the cards come forth to reveal the energy of the day ahead. Today, our mystical tarot journey commences with the King of Wands, a robust figure of energy, creativity, and the authority to harness it.

”He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.” - John Milton

The King of Wands is not just about having ideas but implementing them in the strategic and bold manner characteristic of a King. To be the king of our own realm, we must understand that true power comes from self-control. Just as the king rules his kingdom, so too must we rule over our passions and fears, to create, innovate, and take action without second-guessing ourselves. The King of Wands encourages you to take the reins, be bold, and arise as the authoritative figure in your own life.

Stepping into the nocturnal enigma of the second card, we meet The Moon, a card that whispers stories of intuition, subconscious, and things not yet seen.

”The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.” - Marcus Aurelius

The Moon calls out to you not to fear the unknown but embrace it and the wisdom it may carry within its silvery veils. The Stoics deeply valued inner peace and resilience. Surrender your fears, trust your intuition, and find peace in the simplicity of not knowing. Walk bravely into the shadows of your subconscious, unmasking illusions and embracing wisdom hidden in the depths of your psyche.

Finally, as night surrenders to day, The Sun shines forth, embodying joy, clarity, and the energy of a fruitful day.

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

Celebration echoed in the laughter of The Sun, the card nudges us to embrace the light with open arms and vitality. It’s about filling our entire essence with joy, happiness, and warmth. This celestial body reminds us, as the Stoics did, to revel in the elegance, simplicity, and sheer beauty of life, to connect to our inner child, and to run freely in the fields of positivity and joy.

As the curtain falls on this insightful journey, these cards together prompt self-realisation and self-authority, encourage uncovering secrets within our subconscious, and inspire dwelling in positivity and joy.
