Relationships are the main headline for this week, both the relationships we have with others and the one we have with ourselves. We often take people in general for granted. We take our own bodies for granted too. It’s not that we don’t care or that we don’t want to be there. The issues is that we assume they’ll always be there. But life has a way of shifting the sands beneath our feet. People change for starters. They put up with less as they learn what is important for them to feel nourished. People move on. When you stop investing in them, they find people who will fill that void. Our bodies change too. We think we can always do something until we try to do it again and realize, we’ve spent five years letting our minds, bodies or emotions atrophy. And sadly, people die. Sometimes it’s something you saw coming and sometimes it’s completely unexpected. And in those moments, you think about the ways you could’ve shown up more.
I’m not saying anything drastic like that will happen this week. The point is that you don’t know when things will change. I swear this year feels like the end of an era. So many things are ending or changing so profoundly that you might be wondering where the hell time is going. So take this week’s cards as a sign to cherish what you have now. It’s great to want to more but that doesn’t mean what you have isn’t valuable too.

This card is a reminder that goals are not something you can set and forget. They require work and consistent refinement. Sometimes you’re going to have to pivot. That’s not a sign of failure, it's a sign of intelligence. Knowing when you need to make a change, even if you’ve changed something 100 times before means you’re not “throwing good money after bad.” Sometimes things don’t work out the way we’ve written the story in our heads. Sometimes challenges that you could never know to prepare for come up. This card is asking you to be flexible. To understand that change is not something you can avoid. Everyone will change, even in the most subtle ways. So stop beating yourself up because you no longer want something you used to love or for changing your mind in general. You have every right and more than that, the only thing you can expect out of life is that you will change. So maybe it's time to embrace that.

TODAY is the day to take action. Now it's time to push forward with your plans or opinions. Today is the day to speak up, ask for what you want, or take a big risk. You can only imagine things for so long. You can only make so many lists or do so much research. At some point, you have to do something with all of your preparation. Otherwise, you’re preparing for absolutely nothing which means a big fat waste of time. Doing something in theory is great but you’ll never fully understand anything until you have the experience of actually doing it. So go ahead, make the call, send the email, enroll in the class, ask them out, ask for a raise. Do whatever you have to do to get some forward movement.

A reality check might be needed today. This card represents truths, usually hard truths you may have been avoiding. Perhaps your dream is more complicated than you thought and you may need to adjust course. Or perhaps you’ve learned something about someone that you knew deep down and avoided the red flags. Or maybe you’ve learned something about yourself that has you seeing the world differently. The presence of this card means this is your chance to do something with this piece of information. You have an opportunity to make a change of the better so don’t waste it. Face the truth and move forward.

You need something familiar today. Something that feels like safety, comfort and support. Life gets hard, often more often than it feels good. Challenges arise that knock you off your feet and then you’re supposed to what, just move on? The end of an obstacle doesn’t mean it's the end of the pain and emotional turmoil that came with it. We all carry invisible wounds and scars that we’re expected to sit down because the physical reality is over. That isn’t easy for most of us. We face our hardships and then we ruminate on them. That’s why rest is so important. Not necessarily sleeping or taking a bath. So perhaps rather than rest, what I really mean is recovery. The chance to lick the wounds and rub a healing balm on your soul. The familiar is one of the best ways to do just that. To get a hug from someone who knows you best or to spend time with people who just make you smile. To eat that nostalgic, comfort treat that reminds you of the best memories or to hold an heirloom that reminds you of your roots. Give yourself that today. A chance to pause so that you can recover.

Humans are pack animals so the idea of solitude can feel like a foreign concept. Now before you say “I love solitude” let me remind you that solitude and being introverted are two different things. Solitude means truly being alone, by yourself, even for a short period of time. Not staying in the house with your partner or best friend instead of going out. But truly being in a place where it's just you and your thoughts. Mountain Cabin asks you to do that today. To learn to find value, support and nourishment in you and you alone. To reconnect with yourself without feeling the need to be stimulated by anything else. That means no social media too. You don’t always need to be in a rush to fill that space. Let yourself be enough to keep you company.

Have some fun today and do it without a plan, spreadsheet or any idea of what you’re going to do. Sometimes you just need to go with the flow and let it take you somewhere unexpected. The modern world spends too much time trying to optimize. Every hour of the day doesn’t need to be productive. You don’t need to have a reason to want to do something other than you’re interested in doing it. And while you’re at it, stop worrying about if it makes you look silly or immature. It doesn’t matter. We all need space to take a deep breath and to enjoy life. Because frankly, we don’t know what comes next. We choose to believe the afterlife will be this amazing place or perhaps we’ll be reincarnated but if we’re being honest, we have no idea what happens after life is over. So on the chance that there’s nothing after death, doesn’t it make more sense to enjoy this life we can physically see right now?

This card is about relationships and more importantly, about nurturing them. But it's also a card about understanding. It's very rare that a challenge in a relationship, be it with a friend, a lover, a partner or a co-worker, is one sided. You may need to consider the part you’ve played in your connections. Perhaps you have alienated yourself by telling half truths or trying to manipulate others for your personal gain. Or maybe you just didn’t show up the way you said you would or perhaps you haven’t shown up at all, and the people in your life are tired of it. It may be too late to mend fences but you can forgive yourself and move on with the promise to do better moving forward. But you’ll never know unless you take responsibility for your part and try to make amends.
