Fortune and Queen of Wands
This week marks the beginning of the Aquarius season. We embrace this transformative energy as we explore new ideas and challenge the norm. The cards offer their insights, presenting us with opportunities for personal and collective growth.
Our first card is the Wheel of Fortune, which shares the message of open possibilities. It wants us to know that our lives are full of potential, and we can go in any direction. If we’ve been feeling stuck or questioning a move forward, this card is here for us.
We have the gifts, talents, and abilities to live the life we truly desire; we just have to say yes. Doubt and fear limit us, and the Wheel wants to examine what role they play in our choices.
It calls us to align our being with our essential path and to open our hearts to this energy. Allow the Universe to guide us where we need to go.
When Fortune comes up, it’s a time of powerful vibrations and poignant signs. Look out for symbols and messages that are calling you to your most authentic self.
Fortune also points to the illusion of control. Humans want to be the sole creators of our destiny. We want power over the world around us and to make sense of it all through reason and rules.
But the Wheel calls us to connect to a more profound knowing. This is something that animals on the card do exceptionally well.
Animals show us that we cannot control the world, but we can let the world and seasons guide us. With this faith, we walk a path that brings us a calm sense of certainty. We connect to our instinct and intuition and are in flow with creation.
Step out of your thinking and into your heart. Do this by connecting with an animal that feels like your kindred spirit. Close your eyes and visualize that animal coming forward to you. Take in its presence and listen to whatever message it sends you.
Spend time this week allowing messages and signs to come through by quieting your being and opening your heart. We will end this week feeling more connected and guided through this energy.
Our second card this week is the Queen of Wands. She represents the fire inside all of us, the energy that makes us loving, loyal friends and worthy adversaries.
The Queen beautifully highlights the passion that ignites within us when we face injustices, celebrating the resiliency in each of us who has triumphed over adversity and grown stronger.
She has remarkable toughness and a strong sense of conviction. Always ready to express her thoughts and stand by her beliefs, her past has shaped her into a powerful and opinionated person. However, she lacks diplomatic skills, and her intensity can sometimes be overwhelming, which may turn people away.
This week, we need to be mindful of our communication, as it can be even more challenging. We should apply the lessons of the Queen of Wands to practice compassionate expression.
Some questions we might ask are: How can we be both strong and warm at the same time? How can we share our passion without alienating others? How can we have compassion for those we disagree with while still holding them accountable?
Let the fire push you to create change through understanding and grace. The kindness in your communication and actions will make them so much more impactful.
Mantra for the week: My energy radiates warmth and strength as I find the next steps forward.
