Movement

Hey guys, I hope you are all doing well!! I am super excited because I am going on holiday today, hence me writing this post on a Monday haha. I am really looking forward to a three and a half week time of freedom from school in Mallorca.

I don’t really know where this post is going, at first I was planning for it to be some prose but I’m not feeling in a prosey mood. I feel like this is something which many people need to hear right now, especially since we are coming out of the recent solar eclipse in Sagittarius. When the moon covers the sun, it causes irrational behaviour to take over our rational mind. This eclipse in particular is not only about knowledge and self improvement but also testing your ability to tell apart misleading information from something valuable. You can imagine how that must’ve been for many people. This means at the start of December, you were at a higher chance of getting lied to or cheated on but also the chance of helping others come out of situations like that, depending on the influence of the eclipse on your natal chart. That went on a bit longer than I thought but I guess some background information as to why this post is so random would probably be appreciate by many.

This post is basically me just reassuring everyone that nothing in life is permanent; things are always moving. Whether you are at a bad point or a good point, it will all end and a new cycle will begin. There are two ways to look at it, you could either think “oh my god the good times will always end” or you could think “I am going to treasure these memories and allow them to help me get through when things get harder” because the reality of life is that it won’t always be a happy journey that is only uphill. There is always hope for things to get better which is something I always try to tell myself when things aren’t really going how I expected them to go, sometimes it is nicer hearing it from other people or getting reassured by others. Simply just a “you are doing really well and I’m proud of you” can go a really long way.

As of late, the six of swords tarot card has constantly been popping up in my mind. The card is an image of a man rowing a boat away from harsher waters and into calmer waters. It makes sense now that I think about it because not only for me but I know that these past few weeks have been rough for a lot of people I’ve been speaking with. The image of the card constantly coming into my mind is kind of a reminder that that this time is a period of healing, reaching stability and overcoming hardship. I don’t know about you but I have been through a lot of healing lately. I reached out for a bit of help and I reminded myself that it is indeed ok to ask for help when you’re feeling lost. It’s ok to share some of your burdens with others so it doesn’t weigh down on your back leaving you feeling tired and lethargic. On the boat in this card, there is a woman and a child inside it. This isn’t a traditional interpretation of the card but it is always something that comes up to me when I look at the card, I always see the man rowing the boat as someone who is helping and guiding the lady and the child out of harsh waters or a bad situation. It is almost an analogy for reaching out for help when you feel stuck. I have been reading tarot for a while now and this meaning only recently came to me. I find it so fascinating how the same card can mean different things depending on your situation in life. The six of swords is definitely my favourite card in the suite of swords.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s post, it is awfully random but just something I intuitively felt that needed to be said. I hope you all have an amazing day and week ahead, love you guys <33
