Solis Occasum Lux Bromalis - Ace of Wands and the Forest Bathing Cards

Today’s draw is the Ace of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the seed, start, or new beginnings in the area of one’s passion projects, inspiration, drive, willpower, and determination. This often translates into themes that have to do with budding new interests and new passion projects.

The Ace of Wands has then been combined with a card from the Forest Bathing deck, which says, “As you stroll through the forest, I invite you to listen to nature’s musical tapestry. The big sounds usually overshadow the more subtle ones. I wonder what you will hear…”

What magic are you missing in the world around you by taking things at face value and not paying closer attention? What more can you see when you stop assuming, and instead truly listen and look deeper at what’s going on around you?

There is so much that is remarkable and passion inducing in the world that we pass by every day without even noticing. Worlds within worlds of sound and life we never see. Layers upon layers of depth within people that we never truly get to know.

The message in today’s Ace of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder of these layers, and an encouragement to look beyond just the surface level of not just other people, but of our experiences as well. In doing so, you never know what treasures you may uncover and what new passions you may discover.

Prompt : Picture the card you draw as a friend you are going to spend the day with. What fun activities are you doing together? What are you talking about? Wearing? Feeling?

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - Gold Moon Major Arcana - The Moon card

What feelings came up when I pulled this card?

I felt myself slip into the “advocate” role that I am both familiar with and enjoy. I like to help people, and this Moon card gives me an opportunity to do that.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

The Moon is about uncertainty and the unknown, and often about how fears can cause our perception of something to blow out of proportion.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

The figure in this card looks a lot like the High Priestess. It spoke to me of the fact that the fears are rooted in perception and perspective instead of solid logic and fact. That tells me what is needed here is a good dose of stability.

My prompt response and reflections.

We are going to go hiking. (While wearing appropriate hiking attire, of course.)

Frankly, we would be going hiking with any number of the cards I might have pulled, because it’s what I want to do. This card’s fear and uncertainty wouldn’t dissuade me in this activity. Instead, it would inspire me to assist them in getting over their fears.

As we hike, we would talk about their fears and worries, and I would help them to see that these things aren’t as huge and insurmountable as they seem.

I would show them through encouragement and the stability in my presence that they are safe and help them to find enjoyment in the activity so that when they think back in the future they will have a positive memory to bolster them.

Tarot Reading with the Solis Occasum Lux Bromalis Tarot and Fractals of Nature Oracle

Wheel of Fortune, Eight of Coins, Ace of Coins

Work on seeing the cyclical ups and downs of life by the opportunities they present instead of what you feel like you want to run away from. Change is not your enemy, so stop treating it like one and see it as the catalyst for growth and betterment that it’s meant to be.

Prompts for May 23rd and 24th : Do Spread 2
Question: How can you better utilize your free time with yesterday’s question in mind?

Anchor Card : The Celestial Bloom

“The internal dawn requires no battle against the dark; it asks only that the mist of uncertainty be allowed to lift.”

Reading Summary: The coins in the Ten of Pentacles and the Anchor card echo each other in shape and form. This speaks to the key to successes you seek lying in the disbursement of fears and anxieties surrounding change.

In The High Priestess card, she holds above her head a cloud that connects in its design to the frosty petals of the Celestial Bloom in the Anchor card. There is promise here that even when things fall apart, wither and fall away, or otherwise meet to be discarded, stability will live on.

The Two of Swords resembles scissors coming to snip the Celestial Bloom‘s unseen stem. Decide what to cut away, but don’t go overboard.

Take Away: Today is “trim the lilac tree” day, which comes but once a year. My balcony garden needs some tending, and today’s a good day to get out there and get some of it done.

I actually did trim the lilac tree on my balcony today, as well as deadheading the flowers and the weeding.

Art History Tarot For Past Lives - The Tower card

Today’s draw is The Tower card, which is traditionally a representation of sudden change, chaotic transformation, destruction, and the tearing down of something within one’s life or beliefs that leaves room for something new to take its place.

Like a germinating seed, you can’t grow unless you’re willing to crack the shell that protects you in order to reach beyond it.

I often wonder if the plagues and pandemics that have stricken humanity over the centuries aren’t a form of population control. After all, the Earth can only sustain so many, and humans are resource hogs. Just like thinning seedlings allows the ones left behind to grow and flourish, perhaps these plagues and pandemics are a way of doing the same for humanity. Wildlife culls itself, after all, but humanity simply grows and grows.

That doesn’t make the suffering in the moment any less, though. Nor the grief and loss that follows.

The message in today’s Tower card and “expansion” prompt is a reminder that even growth requires balance. You have to let go of certain things in order to allow room for new things to take their place. You have to weed out the things that would otherwise become an obstacle to your growth… even when that weeding hurts. Instead of focusing on the pain during these necessary times, try seeking out and focusing on the purpose.

Oracle Reading with the Fractals of Nature Oracle

Something I’m genuinely proud of

Jellyfish : Let me not look for allies in life’s battlefield, but to my own strength.

Your independence and resilience. You are able to navigate life’s hurdles and obstacles on your own steam with your own strength and determination.

Although you are learning how to ask for help and depend upon others, you have the confidence and strength to handle things on your own when you need to.

This self-reliance is something that you are proud of.

Just keep in mind that the self-reliance you take pride in is not diminished when you ask for help. Asking for help is merely another tool in your “self-reliance toolbox”.

What abundance looks like in my life

Wood and Vine : He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the door open.

The love and caring you feel for others gives you a natural “in” when it comes to being a part of their lives and influencing them through your words and actions… and even through your mere presence.

For you, the concept of abundance includes this soul-deep caring within you, and the connections that it fosters between you and others. It creates authenticity in your relationships, allowing you to connect with others on a deeper level when they are open to recognizing and receiving that caring from you.

It’s about love, authenticity, and the connections they grow from these things.

Where I keep missing the moment I’m in

Lichen : When the moon fades, the ocean does not grieve it; it waits for another pull.

It’s easy for you to forget the cycles of nature and life when you are too busy pushing for success and accomplishments.

If you are willing to ease up and sense the natural flow of things, trusting it to carry you along through its natural cycles instead of trying to fight it’s currents, you will be able to stay more in the present and miss less of what’s going on in the moment.
