“Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me.” Alice Walker

Today’s Tarot is the reversed Empress (Venus), one of the Tarot Threes, so it’s a card of birth. But inverted, we may blocked from mothering, or maybe we shouldn’t be doing so much.
You aren’t perfect, but you don’t need to be. Remember that. Forgive yourself and set the example.
Don’t just hand the family dinner on a silver platter, okay? It’s always fine to support and nurture, but don’t do everybody else’s work. Because you know what? It doesn’t really help.
I get it. I have this drive myself. But many times, the most loving thing you can do is step back and let others live their own lives. It is an act of respect in their own abilities. It’s saying, loud and clear, “I have faith in you.” It tides those you love over, when they don’t have quite enough in themselves.
Do you feel driven to take care of others?
