Guidance for the Month Ahead from Spirit Element
I’ll be honest—when I first pulled these cards, I wasn’t expecting them to be so tender. June didn’t come in a roar like I was expecting but a hush. A tap on the shoulder. A whisper that said, “Hey… remember when you used to feel lighter?” I’ve been thinking about those days a lot. The days when things were much more simple and yet, I felt like I accomplished so much more with very little. Mostly, because its when I felt most aligned.
I’ve found myself longing for some of those feelings so it’s no wonder this reading appeared the way it did. And I’m not the only one who’s feeling nostalgic these days. I’ve spoken to so many people recently who miss something: someone, some place, some way of being.
This month’s energy isn’t about productivity or breakthroughs. It’s about emotional resonance. About feeling things you thought you had already filed away. About old connections stirring, longings resurfacing, and the strange ache of realizing how much time has passed since you last felt… soft or purposeful or creative or joyous.
There’s a sweetness trying to find its way back to you. Whether it’s a person, a version of yourself, or an experience you didn’t know you missed—June wants to reintroduce you. Not in a loud, dramatic way. But in the quiet, heartful way that daisies grow: steady, simple, radiant.

“Be kind to past versions of yourself that didn’t know the things you now know.”
- Tamara Kulish
The Thesis - Daisies
Summary: This month isn’t about getting things done—it’s about getting back to someone:
Yourself.
Someone else.
An old idea that once brought you life.
Someone is thinking of you this month my darling but consider this: what if the “someone” is actually a version of you? A version that isn’t jaded or afraid but holds a deep level of hope and love and clarity. The energy for this month is a summons to reconnect either with someone you may have drifted from your orbit or with the parts of yourself you’ve lost, have been fractured, forgotten, or haven’t checked in with in a long time.
Daisies urge you to realign with the people, places or versions of yourself that feel resonant. To come back to the things that bring you joy without agenda, affection without debt or doubt, and connection without strategy. To simply be with the things/people who feel right.
Thus the question for the month becomes: What have you lost? And… What do you wish to reclaim?
The Domain
→ Four of Jars
Summary: You have the right to say no to what doesn’t align.
I used to view the four of jars as a card about apathy and laziness but then I really sat with its energy. There’s no guarantee that what we’re seeing is an ungrateful person. Perhaps the figure has a strong ability to apply discernment to every opportunity available. You do not have to say yes to everything that comes your way. You’re under no obligation to indulge people or things that ask for a piece of your energy. The four of jars then becomes a card about choosing where your energy goes. It urges you to know that you have the ability to say yes to things that align with you but also to say no without guilt.
June invites you to become a curator of your world. To stand in an act of rebellion against a world that is in constant demand of your attention. To view your choices with a refined eye, one of sovereignty and awareness that your energy is precious
Think of this as energetic minimalism:
What invitations are you declining, and why?
Are you saying “no” because it’s truly not aligned, or because you're afraid of feeling?
Are you saying “yes” because it’s truly aligned, or because you feel a sense of having to partake? Or, that you’ll miss out on something?
The Periphery
→Three of Pentacles
Summary: Let go of the need to manage outcomes, control contributions, or prove your value through performance.
Here’s the thing about working in a group: you can’t control how others exist within the group. You can’t determine how someone goes about their portion of the plan. Thus, the three of pentacles reminds you that you can’t be in control all of the time. You must learn to work with others knowing that you can’t change them or expect them to behave the way you do.
There will be people this month who don’t work at your pace or match your rhythm. That doesn’t mean they aren’t adding anything of value—it just means you may be working from a different point of view. Perhaps you’re really good at staying organized while someone else is not. That’s ok. Being organized is your skill, not theirs. Stop expecting them to do it the same way or getting upset when they don’t meet your expectations.
This card reveals a discomfort in trusting what you cannot measure. Maybe you want to know everyone’s role, contributions, and motives. Maybe you want everyone to check in constantly or know everyone’s deepest secrets. But community and co-creation sometimes requires you to accept the mystery of other people’s process.
June’s challenge is to remember: you are part of the whole, not the whole itself.
The Axis
→ King of Jars
Summary: Don’t let your emotions or that of others overtake you.
The king of jars is a card of emotional mastery but it reminds you that to master your emotions doesn’t mean to control them. It means to contain them, understand them and to work with them in a healthy way.
Envision yourself as the sea this month. You’re deep, knowing, and able to hold grief, hope and longing all in one cup. The king of jars doesn’t escape emotions—he welcomes them in and teaches each feeling how to move through him in a unified and grounded way.
This King asks you to rule from the inside-out, not the outside-in. External drama may rise—that’s just life. Past wounds may resurface (especially with Daisies in the mix). But you can hold your emotional court with grace.
Master the kind of cups:
Name the emotion: speak it out loud and acknowledge how it feels.
Make room for someone else's chaos without becoming a part of their storm.
Offer compassion, but keep your crown on. You’re still the king of your own empire.
King of Jars Prompt:
What does it mean to be a compassionate place for someone else without sacrificing your own sense of emotional sovereignty?
The Codex
→ Strength
Summary: If the King of Cups is emotional sovereignty, then Strength is the practice of staying soft in the fire and chaos and wilderness.
Consider this: what if this card for this month isn’t about your strength but someone else’s? What if your lesson is to witness someone else have courage and to hold space for them while they reclaim their own softness?
This card invites in a new type of strength. One where you aren’t the healer this time but a healed person offering sanctuary to another. A new strength where you might not be the roaring lion that needs to be tamed but the hand that’s stroking the lion’s mane back into a sense of peace.
Could your strength come from allowing life to unfold without needing to heal or transform something within yourself? Perhaps you are being asked to be content as you are: to be enough. To be healed rather than needing healing.
Strength can also mean refining your strength daily. One day, strength could mean holding your tongue while the next, it means extending an olive branch. One more day might mean letting something go and another day might mean being strong enough to hang on.
Closing Reflections
As you move through June, consider these questions:
Who am I being invited to reconnect with—emotionally, spiritually, or creatively—and what would it take to truly receive that reunion?
What am I numbing, overlooking, or pushing aside instead of feeling with full honesty?
Where might my emotional wisdom be needed—not to fix, but to witness?
If I trusted that I don’t have to prove myself to be worthy of peace, how would I show up differently?
This is a month to:
Revisit the relationships and parts of self that still hold meaning
Feel deeply without being swept away
Pause before accepting what’s offered—especially emotionally
Let softness, not force, carry you forward
Redefine strength as mindfulness, patience, and inner quiet
As you move through June, consider these questions:
What parts of myself am I only willing to acknowledge in private — and what might change if I offered them compassion instead of judgment?
Where am I mistaking urgency for importance? What would it feel like to pause before choosing?
If I stopped trying to belong where I don’t fit, what kind of life could I begin building instead?
What part of this month’s message stirred something in you?
