September's Tarot message: Open Your Mind to the Truth Around You

Welcome to September's Tarot reading! The theme for September is Open Your Mind to the Truth Around You. With three swords cards, we will definitely be investigating our mind's desperate attempts to protect us with fear-based thinking or catastrophizing, and we'll be asked: Can we leave that old way behind? Can we choose new truths, that we're capable, that we're surrounded by abundance and care, that everything might just be working out for us? Doing this may feel challenging because this kind of fear-based protective thinking has deep ancestral roots for many of us, but the invitation is here in September: Open your mind and eyes. Don't let your mind's automatic thoughts run the show. Choose to see your gifts, light, and worth, all around you.  

• Main card for September: Two of Swords (giving yourself time to see and process your thoughts)
• What do our highest selves, guides and the universe want us to most learn during September?: Nine of Swords (working with fear-based thoughts more productively)
• How will September most feel? Nine of Pentacles (self-worth, abundance, our birthrights)
• What is the most aligned action we can be taking in September for our highest good? Judgement (breaking ancestral trauma/curses/patterns)
• A message of support from our highest selves and spirit guides for September: Six of Swords (you can navigate this transition with care)
• September's animal support card (from Colette Baron Reid’s Animal Spirit Oracle): Turtle spirit (slow and steady wins the race)

If you’re in the DMV/Loudoun County/West Virginia area, I’m launching in-person NEW MOON JOURNAL CIRCLES this September! Come join me for the first one at Studio 101 in Leesburg on Thursday, September 10th, $22. Tarot, journaling, sharing and intention setting in community.

Oh, and PS: I’m dreaming and mulling over a brand-new year-long community offering starting in January…my first live course in ages… all about going after one big, hairy, audacious, it’s never-too-late sort of goal. A big old mix of ritual, community, co-working, spirituality, working with the seasons of the year… Stay tuned - I’m going to be sharing more in October about this!
