Now it's time for the first of 4 reviews of the cards I pulled for the energy and resources of each month. I choose to do this every 3 months so that I'm not overwhelmed and it's easier for me to keep up with. This one will cover January, February and March.
January Energy
I pulled the Knight of Swords and I felt a bit of excitement when I saw this card initially, like I needed to get ready for a whole new start that would be full of passion and ideas. The image actually makes me think of when a horse rears up just before a battle, so it's ready for what comes next. I suppose this was right and true because I was ready for my next project after dealing with a lot of faff and drama in December 2023. With the combination of Air and Fire energy, I felt like this card was all about balancing strategy with passion, constructive with destructive, being focused on my goals while also paying attention to everything around me.
January Resources
I pulled the King of Wands and this card immediately made me feel grounded. The suit of Wands is all about the mind and knowing where I wanted to go so that I could achieve it. I was honest with myself during this particular month, even when I didn't want to be and that may be where my groundedness came from. But it may also have come from a drive to get organised and less overwhelmed by the various projects I had to think about. I've started to be able to do more with my YouTube channel and sharing the knowledge I have so that others can learn from it too. I almost feel like January allowed me to rediscover my passion and drive after losing sight of it for a while.
February Energy
When I first pulled the Five of Wands, I was a little confused because this card usually symbolises arguments or the need to be defensive. But with this particular image, I felt like it was inviting me to join in more, and that's exactly what I've tried to do. I've invited people to join me and asked others to assist me with certain projects.
This card has Saturn in Leo energy about it, and I can definitely see that with how Saturn is the planet of limits and regulations while Leo is out there and proud to be that way.
I did struggle with writing at one point but I gave myself time and space to gently continue with the progress I'd made in January.
February Resources
So I got two cards for this: the Two and Three of Cups. The fact they follow each other within the same suit is really interesting. Both of these cards are associated with the sign of Cancer, a Water sign that is very appropriate to the watery Cups, but they have different planetary associations: Venus with the Two, and Mercury with the Three. The Two of Cups (and Venus) has the energy of closeness but also of still being at the "getting to know each other" stage of a relationship, and this is definitely relevant to how I have been feeling about being organised - I'm still getting to know and getting closer to accepting this new version of myself. The Three of Cups (and Mercury) is all about communicating emotions and feelings with others. I don't have many people to whom I am close but this doesn't mean that I can't share and communicate with them; it doesn't matter whether it's a few or a lot. This is something that I've been doing, especially with my YouTube channel and my closest friends.
March Energy
To represent the energy of March, I pulled the King of Swords which is associated with the elements of Earth and Air. When I first saw this card, my initial thoughts were of self-knowledge, self-confidence and self-acceptance so I figured that March might be heavy with inner work on my Self. I feel like this was accurate as I did have to come to terms with who I am now versus who I used to be but rather than looking back and being filled with shame, I am actually proud of the work that I've put in to change the cycle that I was in.
I felt like this card was also showing that I needed to take time to be still, to just be. But perhaps, the main theme was that I just needed to integrate the knowledge that I am confident now.
March Resources
For the resources available during this time, I pulled the Knight of Cups which is associated with the elements of Fire and Air. Within the imagery of this card, I felt like the message was that movement or progress would only come with emotions, which is what the suit of Cups is associated with.
To be honest, now that I'm looking back on March 2024, the element of Air comes in because I needed to communicate the revelations I had in order to truly realise them and feel the emotions that they accompanied. And once the first revelation was shared with others, there were more that sat waiting for its time in the spotlight. Every single revelation has impacted how passionate I am about trying to improve myself in general.
A quarter of the way through the year and already, it's a heavy-hitting time that is full of deep truths that needed to be acknowledged.
I hope this inspires you to consider how each month has been for you. Never be afraid to review your "New Year" intentions/resolutions to see how they are progressing - you always have the opportunity to change the process if it's not taking you towards your goal. Or you can change your goal if you've realised that it's perhaps not right for you.
Peace and love to all!!!!
