Tarot for the Collective:

Deck used this Month: The Medicine Woman Tarot by Carole Bridges

Theme card for August: 4 of Stones (Pentacles)

I thought this was an interesting card to pull for the collective for August, but at the same time we are in the time of Uranus in Taurus and Saturn retrograding back into Aquarius. I have a feeling the collective is taking stock of what abundance means to us as a whole and how to manage to keep security for the individual and the collective.

So, how do we use the energy of 4 of Stones? For me it's to take an inventory of what I truly need and what is excess in my life. Where am I hoarding, what physical items do I need to release, but then at the same time gather items that will help myself and family feel secure. The pandemic has shifted many of our collective thoughts on safety, security and necessity. This is the perfect time of year to reassess these feelings around abundance.

Reading for Collective Energy:

3 Card Spread--

5 of Pipes (Wands) -- Energy to Move Through

The Cosmic energy over the last 18 months has been stifling. There have been moments of reprieve, but overall the energy that needs to be integrated and moved through is that of discord. The 5 of Pipes is that miscommunication, struggle of difference of opinion and fighting with tone & voice. The collective has been in this space on and off for a long time, but this energy needs to be integrated and what I mean is ACKNOWLEDGE. What are the root causes of this miscommunication? Discovering your own personal struggle with how you are heard will help move the collective forward. Use the Fire of Leo and Mercury moving into Virgo to do just that!

The Magician -- Energy to Embrace Personal Power--

Feels fitting for Leo Season- Embrace the tools that you were born with, but those you have acquired over your lifetime. You weld the power to manifest the intention you set. Embrace it!

The Empress--

Energy to Look for and forward to What a gorgeous card for moving into Harvest and Virgo Season. Look forward to how you collect your bounty? The work of the Collective Theme card of 4 of Pentacles shows us that we all need to reassess what abundance means… Now that you are working with that energy, look forward to how Empress Energy can fill you with Abundance, Comfort and Home. Embrace the Divine Feminine and fall deeply into their arms. They will always catch you… but if you take the time to acknowledge how that needs to happen for you it happens in a way that is truly Divine
