Today’s message feels nuanced.
As always, look at the cards for yourself and notice what sensations or memories or emotions arise. What within you is awoken by them and wanting your attention?

The horses are testing boundaries, using anger in a healthy way to ultimately lead to harmony in community. They do not shy away from conflict or tension. There is a charge there, a fierceness, but without grudges there is also room for playfulness. Anger only hurts when denied, when wielded as a weapon rather than a protection of Love, or when held onto too long.

Then there’s the Medicine Woman tarot Trickster (the Devil). A victim mentality. Perhaps the thought: “if only I hadn’t been so nice, or could care a little less, I wouldn’t be taken advantage of...” Where is your power here? ‘Niceness’ without boundaries is its own form of manipulation. Your experiences made you who you are. Integrate them. Own them. Move forward. You have more power than you believe.

The Next World Tarot 6 of Wands (Victory) and the 10 of Cups (Safety) show us the individual and the collective possibilities of reclaiming power, of building capacity for healthy conflict. There is fear and violence in the world. It does not serve to deny it. But to find victory within, to find safety together, we have all we need. It is not necessarily easy. And it is not all love and light. We will have to unlearn some things and challenge our own ways of seeing the world. But we can do hard things. Through Love.
