Lust and Princess of Wands
Our cards this week depict us embracing both a tiger and a lion; our fierceness is front and center. We are connecting to our bodies, our rage, our pleasure, and our creativity. We step into our confidence and know we are alive.
Our first card is Lust. The figure on this card has a strong desire for life and great confidence. She knows she has always made it through her toughest days. She draws on her past skills to propel herself forward.
Lust asks us: How can you listen more to your heart and less to your head? What makes you feel good down in your bones? What do you deeply desire?
Trust is essential to Lust. It wants us to let go of our fears by trusting that we can handle stepping out of our comfort zone. We are not fragile and will not break from doing something unconventional.
Sometimes we are too aware of what can go wrong, and it holds us back from living our lives. Lust wants us to let go of our overly cautious nature and start living in alignment with our hearts.
The figure on the card is drenched in gold, fully embracing her body as she rides a multi-headed lion. She is both in control and out of control at the same time. She is full of pleasure and power.
We are called to do what we crave most, to swim in the ocean and say I love you to those around us. We only live in this body once, and we can choose to live boldly.
How can you embody this card? How can you indulge without fear? How can you live in the moment and go after what your heart desires?
Lust asks us to take at least one brave step this week. Do not let fear or judgment hold you down. Take pride in a rebellious act and see what unfolds.
The Princess of Wands speaks to our need for release this week. She calls for us all to find what we are personally passionate about and share it with the world. She wants us to connect with our own fierceness and fire. She wants us to know our strengths.
If there is something or someone holding you down, this will be the week to break free. Do not hold back feelings you have been keeping in. This is your time to let go.
Spend time thinking about what you need to shed this week. What do you need to share? What do you need to release? What courageous action do you need to take?
It will be your bravery that gives you the much-needed release. Whatever the heavy burden, you will feel a shift this week. This action will lead to the next phase of your path and give you space to invite your passion in.
Mantra for the week: I allow my heart to lead me forward as I step into my courage.
