The energy of the month

The Hierophant represents my belief systems, how I conform to the world's standards, and my personal freedom. Uranus is here to bring radical change quickly and usually with the help of technology. Uranus is the outcast who rebels against the traditional roles we are “supposed” to play in society. It’s here to stir shit up and bring change to how I have chosen conformity over authenticity. Great.

Love

Well, shit. When the Tower card shows up, everything has crumbled to pieces, not in a slow-and-easy-to-digest way either. It’s more like a sudden shift in reality and perspective. This is scary because it came up in the Love category this month. In the past, this card has shown me that I had a faulty foundation upon which my beliefs and values in a given subject were built. Although, Mercury showed up in this category as well. Mercury, the planet that rules over ideas, thoughts, and beliefs, will retrograde this month. This means the rule of “re’s” is in play. Reflect. Review. Reassess. My favorite astrologer Jessica Lanyadoo (link on the resource page), says that when Mercury goes retrograde, it is a time to “reconsider our attitudes, beliefs, and plans. It's a good time to return to things you've lost track of and spend time in contemplation and reflection.” So maybe the tower card is actually a warning. I need to take time this month to reflect on what I think and believe love means. Or else….

Money

Wow, the Justice card—AGAIN. This is a lovely card to see in the category of money. Perhaps this is a good sign, as our taxes are due this month. Maybe we will have a good filing this year. Funny, the planet Venus rules over justice and values. The planet Saturn has a challenging aspect with the planet Venus this month. The two planetary bodies are squaring each other. This will bring up feelings around security and scarcity. It’s a good time this month to get our finances in order. I shouldn’t lean into a scarcity mindset, but I also need to be cautious so I don’t overindulge.

Work

With eclipse season beginning this month, it is easy to see how emotions for everyone will be heightened. Therefore, it will be of the utmost importance that I keep, maintain and protect my energetic and emotional boundaries when I work with clients. The effects of the Jupiter–Chiron conjunction in the sign of Aries are still being felt this month, and the Star card is here to tell me that everyone’s (myself included) unconsciousness will be driving them this month. Therefore, I need to expect firey energy when working with people and ensure I keep my spicy energy to a healthy level.

Health

So, this can go one of two ways. These two cards either mean untapped potential (Magician) meets idealization (Neptune) in the most negative way possible, or I can start planting the seeds for the life I want to create when I picture my ideal health. We’ll see which adventure I choose this month!

Spirit

Change is around the corner (Wheel of Fortune)! I can expect this change to incorporate themes of embodiment (Mars). Perhaps, this change will bring about a spiritual connection to my body.
