Today’s draw is the Five of Spring (Wands), which is traditionally about conflict with others, especially when those involved all have their own passionate ideas concerning the topic of the conflict, and keep butting heads as a result.
Add to that the fact that some people find conflict fun (because some of the Fae in this card absolutely look like they’re having a good time), and we find a message here about social interactions. and remembering that conflict isn’t the end of the world. Sometimes, though? If we’re not enjoying the experience, it can be better to step back rather than keep swinging that stick.
This message is reinforced by the larkspur (Delphinium elatum) used as decoration around the edges of the card and in its background. The larkspur encourages staying open and optimistic to new experiences. When we step back instead of continuing to engage, we allow ourselves to find that openness within ourselves, and often give space for others to do the same. You can then come back to the discussion with a more open and constructive attitude.

Today’s draw is the Star card combined with Depletion. The Star card is often about hope, and creating balance between one’s physical reality and life’s non-physical attributes such as spirituality, emotions, etc.
Not surprisingly, what stands out to me in this Star card is that the woman is blindfolded combined with the spiral of stars above her head which look like circling thoughts. Combined with the Depletion card, the message I see here is a reminder that when we are feeling worn out and depleted, it can be hard to remember to keep our thoughts positive.
This is part of the reason that rest is important. Exhaustion or depletion drags us down, including not just our energy but our moods and our thoughts as well. Since we can’t always avoid exhaustion or feelings of depletion, it’s important to remember the effects that these experience can have on our inner narratives and ensure that we don’t allow ourselves to spiral down into increased negative self-talk.

Today’s draw is the Two of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of connection and unification, mutual attraction, and emotional connections.
The imagery on this card is a beautiful example of how the Two of Cups is not always about love or romance. Sometimes it’s about harmony and connections of the heart that have nothing to do with romance or sex.
The message I see in today’s card is a reminder to make sure we focus on working with people instead of in opposition to them, and to seek opportunities to foster harmony instead of conflict or discord.
