281. Tarot Card for February: The Moon

Wow. Welcome. It is February. It's a short month. Let's see. It's a short month, but it's a day longer than it normally is. We have jumped from the fool in January to the moon. In February. This is very interesting. Let's review the fool. Which is just an amazing card and a beautiful start to the year. And then we will look at the moon. So the fool. Is spontaneity and innocence. The fool is ready to fly his young wings ache for flights and with a single step. He leaves behind the comfort of the nest to begin the journey through the major Arcana. Is he ready? Will he fall? This is a card about beginnings. It points to the side of you that is spontaneous excited, naive, and inexperienced. Others may doubt your abilities. Be ready to be called the fool. Be ready to fall, no matter what people say about you. This is your journey. And it's already begun. Be ready to be called the fool. And now we come into the moon. The moon is a whole different energy. It's deep. It's dark. It's light. Vivid dreams. And fears. And many ways the moon card encompasses the idea of the wild unknown. It is the shadow realm, the place where dreams, fears, and mysteries are born. Much darkness can linger here. And if you aren't careful, this can lead to periods of anxiety and self-doubt. Almost as though you've lost your way in our house of mirrors. Many great artists have roamed this inner landscape. It's where imagination and creativity drift freely upon the midnight air. The moon. February. This is the depth of winter in the Northern hemisphere. It's the coldest month. It's not the darkest month, but it feels like it is. This is a perfect time to go. And. Not linger too long in that darkness, in that mystery. But to honor that that's literally where we are. We are in this space of. Deep. Rest. Which can lead to feelings of unrest. So really allow yourself. A lot of grace. See what you find, maybe you stepped off the ledge. And it feels now. Like you have fallen. And to the dumps into the bottom, into the pit. Of despair. There was an episode a while back where we talked about. Hope and despair and how without hope. You can not experience true despair. And it's almost like the fool is the hope. And then the moon is showing us the despair. But it's also showing us what comes out of. Not. Giving up, but letting go of the quote, unquote, hope. And really looking at. What is real and present. And there is always, always magic. That is one thing that I want you to take away from this episode. Magic exists. In all places and in all ways, and in all, every where. It's within all of us. it is within the dark. It is within that mystery. So. Allow yourself to breathe. Knowing that each breath. Is magic. And let's see what we find. Share your thoughts with me and Laura, christine.us. And until next time. I am sending all the love and then some more. We'll talk again.
