Collective reading for the weekend from th Magic Waters Tarot & Oracle.
The weekend may start out with feelings of discouragement or simple emotional imbalance. The 5 of cups energy in the first card is often uncomfortable at best. There is a lot going on in the world, as well as astrologically right now. Saturn enters Aries, bringing a firm-but-kind reboot, perfect for initiating projects, setting boundaries, and making conscious, courageous choices. The rune Nauthiz is associated with this card, relating to hardship, constraints, and resistance. Be willing to examine where you need to release rigidity, and where you need to stand firm.
This bit of feeling unsettled is further amplified by the Tower card, asking us to go deep and explore where we need to have major shifts of perspective. The status quo is not going to remain workable; this is a call to action. The rune Hagalaz is one of disruption and chaotic change. If we don’t choose proactively to change, we may be forced whether we like it or not.
The picture of the water spout in the second card reminds me of my own personal experience seeing a water spout form when I lived near Clearwater, Florida. Water spouts often occurred alongside tornadoes, and were an indicator that things were going to be bumpy for awhile - best make a conscious choice of a safe space to ride things out rather than be swept away!
The third card is the Knight of Cups. As difficult as the first two cards may feel, this card reminds us that when life gives us waves, we can choose to swim against them, or grab our surfboard and ride it out. The knight takes action from a place of passion, optimism, and love. He can make the best lemonade from the most sour of lemons. The rune associated with this card is Sowilo, representing vitality, success, and manifestation.
The overall theme of this weekend for the collective: things may start out a bit difficult, and you may even find yourself feeling as if your sense of peace is being disrupted. However, this is an opportunity for self-reflection, taking an honest assessment of your current situation, and taking action to manifest the reality you desire. Be prepared to say “no” to others’ demands if they don’t align with your inner compass. By the end of the weekend, you’ll be feeling much more in control and directed toward your goals.
