The mood is culmination.

We've been coming to realizations lately. Conclusions. Endings. Accomplishing that high and mighty task of blending what you know you need and what you want.

It's absolutely possible, and if you're struggling, I hope this here episode helps.

Discussed in this episode:

• Jupiter in Scorpio
• Temperance
• Mercury in Scorpio
• Seven of Cups
• Three of Pentacles
• Conjunctions
• Pluto

Readings

We get a little ahead of ourselves sometimes.

We know this. Deep down, we know when we're on our own bull shit again.

We know when we've been working through an issue for far too long.

We know when it's time to leap.

We know when it's time to let go.

Seldom do we, however, get the chance to blend this deeper knowing with logical understanding.

It's instinct vs. reason at play here. We can reason ourselves into a hole, yet also allow instinct to lead us into the woods with no path ahead. Too much of either and we're left with more questions than answers, more fear than hope.

This week's cards beg us to temper that urge to hold both reason and instinct within us.

Don't.

Blend them, make them one. Something new. Something fresh.

Don't be afraid of all these compartmentalized choices before you, either. They aren't really choices at all.

A beautiful soul and fellow podcaster Lindsay Mack of Tarot For The Wild Soul beautifully described the Seven of Cups in one of her recent episodes as a card of choices, sure, as all Sevens are, but that there's also a need to realize that perhaps the best "choice" is to walk away from all these tantalizing choices to begin with. I'll add here that we need to realize their distraction to us because in the long haul, every choice is the same.

We are never making the "wrong" choice as we live in a free will Universe. All these choices are are different colors and sides to the same prism.

The Three of Pentacles begs you this week to take pride in the work still to be done in accepting this new amalgamation of mind and spirit, reason and instinct.

Must like the mason, the architect, and the priest in the traditional Smith Waite deck we've used this week, recognize that these different parts of you can work together toward the same goal - building a masterpiece in your life. Whether it's working toward a new mindset, a stronger spiritual practice, manifesting a better job, friends that vibe with you much more vibrantly, it's no matter. You need to have the intent just right, the actions just right, the emotions behind your manifestations just right. 

And that can take time. That can take effort. And that's okay.

Just remember that we need to use this mood, this vibe, to our full conscious advantage at this point in time, loves, because it's deep. It's thick. It's ripe with potential to seed our full trust in the Universe and sprout glorious manifestations we can yet imagine, but also, to be perfectly frank, ripe with the potential to breed fear of the unknown.

Negative-ego driven intention.

Disbelief in our personal power.

Compartmentalization of the mind and dismissal of the Spirit within.

Astrologically, we're moving with a conjunction between Mercury and Jupiter

This is logical mind energy blending with soul consciousness, practical down-to-earth knowledge coming together with big picture, true understanding.

They can butt heads or be best buds. It all depends on how much integration you're ready for. You need to be the figure in Temperance, making something new of these two vibes, creating a whole new blend of energy.

QUESTION: ARE YOU MOVING INTO A CULLING OF A CONGRUENCE?
