Welcome to August, dear ones! Happy Lughnasadh/Lammas, if you observe ☀️
It is so good to be with you in this space. It has been a wild month for myself and my family. We’ve been dealing with an ongoing family health emergency that has been really seismic, in terms of the effect it’s had. We moved house! It was so intense! So expensive! Moving with a 4.5 year old is no joke! Even with all that, best decision ever, 100/10, no notes. Yesterday, I ended a Membership call and there were children running around my home joyously, and pals hanging out in my kitchen 🥹 Heaven on Earth.
Because of the generalized overwhelm and total exhaustion of these last few weeks, I am going to keep this missive a little more bite sized today. But before we get to the good stuff, I want to reveal the card that we will be focusing on in our No Bad Cards series for August!
The card we will be unpacking this month is (drumroll) Judgment!
Many members of No Bad Cards expressed a desire for me to cover Judgment for this series, many of them expressing distress, confusion, fear, and wariness around it’s presence in their readings. I am so excited to dive in and unpack this powerful and formidable Tarot card with all of you. If you have questions/feelings about Judgment, chime in in the chat!
Also: I believe that Judgment is the closest match we have in the Tarot to Eclipse energy, and since we will be in an Eclipse portal in August, again, the timing is *chef’s kiss*.
Now — lets get to the Monthly Medicine goodness!
You know something really interesting?
For July’s Monthly Medicine, The Empress showed up as the pull for the prompt, “how can I best work with the month ahead?”
For this Monthly Medicine, August’s Monthly Medicine, it showed up in the exact same position, accompanied this time by Two of Swords.
In the entire nine years that I’ve been doing Monthly Medicine episodes of Tarot for the Wild Soul podcast, that has never occurred. It is a singular experience, and one really worth paying attention to.
Two months in a row, two opportunities to work with The Empress as the driver, the key tool for the best work we can do at present.
It is a major heads up for us, a major clue and key about the themes surrounding us right now: can we let more pleasure into our lives, even if things are tight, difficult, and/or uncertain? Can we allow even 10% more ease to find us? What stories, fears, and beliefs show up when we ask these questions?
The theme for the month of August is Reclaiming Pleasure.
August is an Eclipse month, and the guidance on what we are being invited to pay attention to is — for once — blissfully clear: pleasure, joy, receiving, delight, and goodness are your birthrights, your earthrights. Reclaim them, encircle them in your arms, and don’t let them go. Amid all the peaches, all the fruits you’ve cultivated and given away, savor some for yourself, too.
Nine of Pentacles Rx is our card for the month of August.
It is a crucial clarion call, a moment of review and reflection: how often are we tended to, served, centered, cared for, and nourished? How often do we do the nourishing? How can we bump up what we are receiving in this season of life? This is all the more urgent a question, especially since Nine of Pentacles Rx indicates that there is already a deficit here.
To best work with the energy of the month ahead (and Nine of Pentacles), I invite you to sink into this spread 🍑
What does Nine of Pentacles Rx want to say to me at this time?
What might I have to do, or take action on, to heed it’s message to me?
How can I make more space in my life for this card’s medicine, and invitation?
A supportive anchor to hold onto when the work around this feels uncomfortable?
Thank you so, so much for being here, loves. I am so grateful for each of you.
Love, Linds
