First of all, belated Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mamas out there. By the time you read this, I will be on my way to our family’s annual mother’s day trip. It’s something we’ve been doing now since travel began to open back up after COVID and I’m so thankful for this time to spend with my family and my mother especially.
We are deep in the arms of Spring now and there is a sensualness about this time of the year. There’s a push to seek comfort, especially in the midst of Taurus Energy. The cards have hints of this throughout the week. We see Goddess and Cow and Milk & Butter right at the tail end, encouraging us all to luxuriate as much as possible.
Midweek hits us with a little note of caution. Rowan appears to remind you that you are protected but also, that protection doesn’t mean easy. You might face a challenge right around Wednesday so keep your eyes peeled for that.

→ Bee
Imagine how scary the world must seem to a tiny bee. Or perhaps scary isn’t the word. Maybe the world is big but clearly it isn’t afraid to brave it, or if it is, it doesn’t let its fear stop it. There’s much to learn from this behavior. The bee is willing to face the harsh winds, strong rain, and endless threats in service of its purpose. What are you willing to brave in service of yours? What are you willing to do to bring your dreams to life? Finding your purpose never meant the road would be easy. It means the road will be right and the hardship will be worthwhile. It's time to reorganize your thoughts around what it means to find your soul’s mission. It means fighting for what’s meant for you and at times, that’s going to mean having to overcome a lot of challenges. It will definitely mean getting out of your comfort zone and it will certainly mean you have to change in some way or another. So I’ll ask again what are you willing to do to bring your dreams to life? If you aren’t willing to do anything or very little, then don’t be surprised if you never find your purpose.

→ Pegasus
Pegasus appears when you’re about to experience something that will change your life. But here’s the thing, when us “spiritual teachers” say things like this, we don’t mean things will suddenly be different or at least I don’t. A single choice, a single moment in time can change the course of your life and you may never be aware of what that moment actually is. It could be the decision to turn left instead of right, to go to one store versus another or even just to call in sick to work. Whatever the cause, know that a single moment is only the first step in a long journey. No change happens overnight. No habit is dropped instantly. No relationship is ever truly love at first sight. And no overnight success is actually overnight. Monumental change takes whatever time it needs. As this transition takes place, it's important for you to keep saying yes; keep showing up for the things that light you up. That’s how you stay the course. Explore and experiment and give yourself permission to do the things that bring you joy. Keep doing that and one day, it really will feel like you’ve changed overnight.

→ Rowan
Rowan offers a message of protection. That isn’t to say nothing will come against you. To be protected doesn’t mean you will never face an obstacle or opponent. It means you’ll come out of it ok albeit with a bruise or two but ok nonetheless. Rowan invites you to reconsider what it means to be guided and what it means to know things are working out for your highest good. There is no path that will be free of hardship, no amount of praying that will keep danger from your door. You will always make mistakes, have failures, trust in the wrong people or take a wrong turn. That’s just what it is and the best thing you can do is learn to accept this fact as a part of life. The next best thing you can do is to know that despite all of that, you will be ok. Lessons learned from mistakes will become breakthroughs and failures will become stepping stones to success. Hardship will build character and strength and opponents will force you to step up your game. And you’ll come through all of that safely on the other side. You are protected my darling, you just need to understand what that protection actually means.

→ Goddess
This card is about authenticity. About connecting to the deepest part of who you are that is pure and safe from the layers of living life. This part doesn’t need to emulate others to feel worthy nor does this part need to pretend to be something that it isn’t. This part doesn’t need external validation and it already knows who you are and what you came here to do and become. But with time, this part becomes covered up by the snide comments, fears and anxieties, criticisms, traumas and all other human expressions that can make you feel less than. Other parts learn to protect the purest, most primal part of you by hiding it from harm and before you know it, you’ve lost all sense of the intelligence deep within your being. But you can learn to access it again. It may be in hiding but it never truly goes away. It whispers to you urging you to go this way and that, to say yes or no and it guides you to things you love so that you can discover what’s meant for you. It will be the softest sound at first but as you learn to listen, this primal part will get stronger and louder until you no longer have to search for it; it will be your constant companion.

→Cow
Support and nourishment are what’s needed today. This isn’t necessarily about self-care, at least not in the way we typically think of it. It’s about understanding what support looks like for you whether that’s self-support or from an external source. What is missing from your foundation? That could be anything from drinking enough water so that you don’t feel so dehydrated or it could be gaining control of your finances so you don’t feel like money is always slipping through your hands. Another example might be taking a deep, cleansing breath when you’ve been holding in stress or unclenching your jaw. Whatever it is, the point is that you need something to hold you up today. One great way to honor this card is to go back to the beginning of your situation. Reconnect with your values or why you started doing something. Think back to when things felt simple or when you felt like you had everything figured out. Start with the basics and work from there. That’s often the best way to support yourself.

→ Milk & Butter
This card questions your faith in the universe. Do you truly believe in yourself? Do you truly believe the universe has your back? Do you truly believe your intentions will come true once you set them? Stop and really think about these questions before answering. You may believe it's possible to manifest but that doesn’t mean you believe it's possible for you. You might believe it's possible to have a soul mate but that doesn’t mean you believe it's possible you’ll meet yours. If you don’t actually believe you can do and have something, then you don’t actually have faith in the universe. And if that’s the case, the universe will say “ok, you don’t trust in me then I just won’t show up for you.” You might not even realize you don’t believe. It may be so rooted in your subconscious that it isn’t something you’ve ever truly thought about. Well today is the day to answer the question of faith honestly. And if you find that you don’t really believe in what’s possible for you, then you’ll need to get to work changing your opinion.

→ Indulgence
Indulgence is one of my favorite entries of this deck. Yes, indulgence can mean eating that box of chocolate or splurging on a new outfit but it doesn’t have to mean that. It can also mean learning to love yourself. Indulging in the joy of your being. Or fighting hard for your right to feel worthy. It's a hard battle to learn to love yourself, command respect, set boundaries and to invest in yourself. It takes a lot of courage to say “I matter too!” But when you do the work to experience the pure joy of knowing you deserve whatever it is you want, it unlocks you in a way no spell or ritual or bath can do. To me, that’s what it means to indulge. To truly stand tall knowing no one can cut you down because your worth comes from inside. It isn’t something that can be stolen away, not unless you give it away. Does that mean you won’t seek validation? Certainly not. We all love to be validated but the difference is that you won’t need it. You won’t need to live for anyone’s approval but you’ll damn sure welcome it when the praise comes because you earned it.
