I’ve been working—really working—on getting my act together. And by that, I mean clearing out my mental clutter, digging into old wounds, and unraveling the tangled knots of trauma I’d long buried in the metaphorical basement.
Because sometimes, that crap doesn’t stay buried.
It’s not a crisis, just my normal process. But lately, I’ve been going at it harder, deeper. A whiff of something rotten surfaced, and I know it’s time to root it out before it seeps into everything.
The good news? I’m starting to see the fruits of my efforts. Small, yes. Humble, but real. And that aligns perfectly with this week’s cards.
In the Cards
We’re still rolling with the Meows Tarot for its playful yet pointed wisdom.
Outlook: Ace of Pentacles (Fishes)
We’re finally seeing tangible, real-world results from our efforts. They’re small now—just the first green shoots breaking through the soil. But like anything with solid roots, these beginnings will grow.
Advice: Reversed Queen of Pentacles (Fishes)
This Queen wants to take care of everyone, to set the table and feed the whole neighborhood. And man, do I feel her. But reversed, she’s a reminder: before you nourish others, you have to nourish yourself. Burnout doesn’t serve anyone. Strength first, service second.
Lately, I’ve been working on some resources for others who’ve walked a similar path to mine. There is so much I want to offer! But it’s not automatic or easy. And it’s wild how much residue still lingers, even decades later. Triggers appear without warning, from completely unexpected corners. Processing it all as I bring it up for review is its own journey—one I have to pace carefully.
I want to set that table, to serve up what I’ve learned. But if I don’t tend to my own foundation, the table won’t hold the weight of what I put on it.
That’s why I love seeing the Ace of Pentacles here. It’s proof of progress. The beginning of something solid. The rest will follow.
Now, for You:
Are you seeing the first signs of growth from your own efforts? How can you support yourself to be truly ready before offering that nourishment to others?
