It's that time to review the last three months of April, May and June to see if they matched the cards I pulled during the Prophecy 2024 Becoming the Seer workshop hosted by Emily of Wise Woman Witchery. I pulled twice for each month: once for the energy, and the second for the resources that have been available to me.
April Energy
Queen of Swords
This Queen is a mix of the elements of Water and Air and can therefore mix emotions and empathy with ideas and communication (especially listening).
This idea of mixing two elements is defined by transmutation: the act of changing or being changed into another form. With this card, I felt like this was saying that I would be able to channel this energy of transmutation based on my own will and intention. I felt like this card was also saying that I would know the direction I would move in.
To be honest, when I started looking back at this card, I wasn't sure if it would be relevant to what happened but it really was because I decided to change my situation and improve how I live my life with responsibility.
April Resources
Queen of Cups
Just like the Queen of Swords, this Queen is associated with the element of Water but that's the only element associated with the Queen of Cups. Because of this, the Water connection is intensified with this Queen being the embodiment of Water.
When I first saw this card, I immediately got the feeling that April would be the time when I became deeper in touch or in tune with my emotions. To be fair, I feel like I started to deepen my understanding of my own emotions.
This Queen has to set boundaries to protect her heart so that she doesn't become overwhelmed by emotions. This is something that I've been too focused on because I've been so hurt in the past so I felt like this card was telling me to go easy on myself, to show myself empathy.
May Energy
Justice
With this card, I feel like it's highlighting the idea of balance. I had to rediscover a balance between writing and sitting in my living room because I'd sit at my table with the TV on and it would be much easier for me to concentrate and focus on what I wanted to get done.
Something else that happened this month was I discovered that I needed professional help with some issues I have around food and my own body. Through the connection with Libra and its ruling planet of Venus, I have a responsibility to take care of myself and alter my sense of reality because it is no longer serving me.
I can't ignore these anymore if I truly wish to experience pleasure, beauty and harmony with all my senses. So I need to find a balance to my situation but this is just the beginning of that process.
May Resources
6 of Swords, Hierophant
With the 6 of SwordsI felt like it was implying that I needed movement forward while going with the flow. This card is associated with the sign of Aquarius, the fixed Air sign that leans heavily toward communication and intellectuality, but it's also connected to Mercury, the planet of communication andintellectual exchange. So there's a double-dose of this energy around and, to be honest, I didn't realise how important this would be to me.
With the Hierophant, I felt like this was about learning, and being or having a teacher. But what I didn't realise is that this is the first card of the Major Arcana where a crisis of some kind is experienced. I will admit that I had my own crisis during May but I learned from my past and made sure to seek help and learn from others. Taurus is associated with this card through satisfying the senses, something I don't feel I do in a healthy way.
June Energy
5 of Swords
With this card, I originally felt like it was saying that I would be very defensive of myself but also of others. I will admit that I can be that way, especially of those I love and care about. It's interesting that the astrology associated with this card is Venus in Aquarius as my natal Venus was in Capricorn while my Sun sign is Aquarius.
But then I thought about the image within this card and I realised that I might actually have been the woman in yellow, lying down and waiting for medical assistance despite having asked. This idea would accurately represent the energy I experienced during June as this is actually what I went through. It definitely wasn't the best month but I will say that I learned a lot about my own self, how to stand up and advocate for others as well as myself.
June Resources
7 of Wands
With this card, I felt like the message was about going my own way, and/or becoming my own version of Wonder Woman.
The astrology associated with this card is Mars in the sign of Leo, indicating a need for courage, and bravery.
Standing up for myself by finding my own way and realising that how I am isn't healthy, has been difficult but it's taught me to stand up for what I need, ask for help and then keep asking for it.
I have struggled, not knowing which way was the right (and, for me, healthy) path forward. I've also struggled with having to do all of this alone but sometimes, I think it's actually easier because I'm not being judged for having an eating disorder and issues with my own body. It's been hard but, occasionally, my own determination has actually helped me.
Well, this has been a very difficult and challenging few months but if I'm honest, I wouldn't change anything about what happened because I know that everything has its own time. My experiences have happened because within myself, I am ready for the healing that surely must follow.
I have actually been enjoying the process of reviewing each quarter because it allows me the opportunity of seeing what I've overcome and experienced. Because of this, I hope you've been inspired to do the same or something similar for yourselves.
Peace and love to all!!!!
