Harness Your Summer Fire with Tarot
The heat of summer is coming to the Pacific Northwest, and with it comes a busy season in both work and play.
For myself, the tourists and events want readers to add to their summer magic. Plus, my yard and garden needs most of it’s annual maintenance and attention.
For all of us, Nature is calling us to relish in her current vibrancy. Our community has more opportunities to connect in person. Travel might be in the works. And yet we still need to do all the other things that we also do in winter.
So much is going on all at once! How do we juggle it all?!
So today, I want to talk about the Wands Suit.
Each suit in tarot is related to one of the elements, and Wands is about Fire.
Fire is passion, movement, energy, action. It can relate to exercise and focus and attraction.
The Gentle Way Through Overwhelm
I often overbook myself, take on too much, and resist pulling out of any commitments when I realize I am past my limits.
My German mom and workaholic dad taught me to just push on through the overwhelm. I am grateful for the fortitude they instilled in me, but I am trying to learn a new way.
I want to make different choices when I get this drained and fried out.
So I got up, and put away the tools and work gear. I tidied up the mess from the partially done big task. I accepted that it would reside in limbo.
This felt like a big shift for me. I didn’t push through. I backtracked. I paused. I prioritized my focus on one zone to manage, instead of spreading myself too thin.
maximize Your Rest Opportunities
In the whirlwind of summer, scheduling in long hours for true rest is often lower in priorities. When this happens, I take a page out of his book and find those moments when I can decompress even a little.
Today, I want to offer you some suggestions of how you can make the most of the time you get to rest if you’re also buzzing with activity during the warm season.
