A time for planting seeds and setting down roots.
This week brings us a new moon in Taurus. This generous moon is an invitation to ground ourselves, plant seeds, and explore a foundation of material security. What do we need to feel safe and secure? This is a good time to take action on our dreams.
Weekly Collective Reading 5/4 - 5/11/24
Our card this week, from the Animal Action Oracle:
Crack: Otter
Otter says: Don’t hesitate to apply force as necessary. You may be holding back, hesitant or fearful to fully demonstrate your skills or ability. But this hesitation could actually be keeping you from the thing you most desire. Crack open the shell of life and enjoy the fruits of your true talent!
Where might I be holding back from showing my full range of abilities?
Nine of Cups + Slash
You have reached a certain level of comfort and skill in some area of life. Deep down, however, you know you have more to offer. The path to a new level of success may not be obvious, but you can forge your own way forward. Cut a path for yourself using your talent and innovation, and do things in your own unique style. Breaking out of your comfort zone, as well as doing things your own way, will help you harness more of your natural ability.
How can I trust myself to be more authentic?
Queen of Cups + Scratch
In order to show up as your authentic self, you must be ready to validate and express a full range of emotions. It can be scary to express challenging feelings such as anger, frustration, or fear. Yet these are as necessary to our human experience as joy, happiness, and love. Work on being confident in expressing how you truly feel. You have the right to be heard and, with the right people, accepted and understood. Allow yourself to be fully present with yourself. What do you need in order to be brave in your self-expression?
What will help me feel brave and ready to try something new?
Page of Pentacles + Pierce
Slow and steady is the way to go when stepping into uncharted territory. It is important for you to be able to go at your own pace when trying new things. Rushing the process will not allow you the time to develop skills step by step, mastering each one as you go. Trying to skip steps will only lead to frustration for all involved. You will gain confidence by taking your time and paying attention to the skill and details necessary for success.
