Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere signifies warm days ahead, and the joy-filled energy that comes with our abundant summer days. This is a wonderful time to break out your Tarot decks, and check into your personal energies, focusing on how the sun’s influence is impacting your vibrant days ahead.
Attached is a Summer Solstice Tarot Spread to guide you through the gateway to the sunny days, weeks, and months ahead! If you’d like to see elements of this spread in action, check out the link below to a quick YouTube pick-a-card reading. Use the questions in each section as a guideline, or create your own.
Do you ever have those days where you wake up and everything is off? You know what I’m talking about…THAT kind of day, when you feel drained, cranky, forgetful, and extremely sensitive. You check: you got a good night’s sleep, you’re exercising, hormones aren’t the culprit, and you ate well last night.
What gives?
Our interactions with others can have a huge impact on how we feel.
Daily, we are bombarded by information from the news, Internet, and social media. We get advice from well-intentioned co-workers, friends, and family members. There are the folks who aren’t so well-intentioned, you know the ones I am talking about; those that you try to avoid bumping into in the checkout. Later, you’re cooking dinner and remember that you have to make a meal for your son’s entire hockey team tomorrow. And our own voices join the general din, often going unnoticed and not extending the same love and light towards ourselves that we make a practice of sharing with others.
The daily grind can cause us to operate the way a computer does when it has too many windows open at the same time, too many programs operating at once, or the memory is just running out of space.
At the time of this writing, it is inches from April, still snowing and the temperature has a windchill of 2° F.
Even though Mother Nature hasn’t gotten the memo yet, it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
Despite winter’s lingering grip, we’ve crossed Ostara’s threshold and change is in the brisk air. Change comes in all forms, whether we embrace it with open arms or not. That is one of Tarot’s gifts, the ability to see within and examine where we might need to transform, creating space for beautiful new energies.
I designed this Spring Cleaning Tarot Spread with the idea of transitions in mind, moving from winter’s grasp into spring’s embrace. With this softening comes the idea of letting go. Opening the windows and releasing stagnant air, decluttering our homes and spaces, and welcoming fresh new opportunities and perspectives.
