The Sun and Knight of Disks
Our first messenger this week is The Sun. This is a Major Arcana card with powerful energy. The Major Arcana are the 22 cards in tarot that follow the journey of the Fool.
This journey depicts the cycle of ups and downs from birth to enlightenment and back to birth. If tarot cards are signs on the road of life, the Major Arcana cards are the flashing billboards.
They have a loud message and speak about a significant moment in your life. It is either a major realization, a critical turning point, or a leveling up. They represent a profound shift in the journey to becoming your higher self.
This happy Major Arcana card depicts rays of light flowing into the Universe. Within these rays are all the signs of the Zodiac, and the figures dance in the warmth. This card is all about innocence, fun, and a connection to the inner child.
The Sun offers us deep healing, especially regarding our emotions. We feel drawn to reflect on the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. The card shows us the gifts of being present and embracing hope.
We are called to breathe deeply, spend time in nature, and ground ourselves in the here and now. We embrace our senses and immerse ourselves completely. The Sun card guides us to loving our inner child and entering a place of safety, protection, and recovery.
Is there a beloved activity from your past that you yearn to experience again? Perhaps there’s a dream that still resonates within you, one that you can express and reconnect with, reigniting the passion and enthusiasm it once brought to your life?
This gorgeous card asks us to recall what brought us joy when we were young. What made you happy as a child? What were your favorite activities? How can you bring some of those simple joys back into your life?
Our second card this week is the Knight of Disks. The Knight of Disks shows up when we need to slow down and pay attention.
This Knight stands out because it’s the only one in the deck that does not have a horse in motion. The Knights are usually galloping through the land or flying through the air, but this Knight has stopped to rest.
And that is exactly what we are being asked to do. We need to press the brakes and take a moment to ground ourselves. We should not be making major decisions or acting at a rapid pace.
The Knight of Disks is in a beautiful field, letting his horse graze as he looks out at the setting sun. Disks are all about the natural world, and a great way to recharge is in the loving arms of the earth.
All of the chaos of our world depletes our energy. We should make time to recharge and reconnect with ourselves.
How can we pause in nature this week? Where can we spend time contemplating? And what are we called to reflect deeply about at this moment?
It’s important for us to take intentional time to rest before continuing on our journey. If we don’t, we might burn out and need an even bigger break later on. And if we make pausing in gratitude a part of our daily life, we will be able to continue from a more centered place.
We are invited to connect with the grounding energy of the Disk suit. It encourages us to embrace rest and gratitude. By adopting this practice, we will move forward with strength in the days and months to come.
Mantra for the week: I connect with my inner warmth and joy through slowing down and practicing gratitude.
