We have Neptune turning back in Pisces this week and it’s likely to bring up vulnerability as an focus point. So often people equate being vulnerable with being weak. It’s one of the biggest lies we tell. Instead it is a strength that comes from the very depths of us and it brings people together. Our Mirror Neurons are just one prime example of how we connect when our defenses are down.
It’s a survival strategy to learn from others by seeing what they do – what works and what doesn’t. It’s laced with the shadow side of judgement because when you see another in pain you draw conclusions to help ensure you don’t suffer the same pain. But that’s a simplistic viewpoint and is another of the lies we tell ourselves.
Pain is a part of life and there is no escaping it. In fact it’s the price you pay for so many wonderful things. To put your talent out there is to risk rejection or criticism. Yet imagine a life where you never share any of your gifts as a way to avoid that pain. Loving someone means you could lose them to another person, to illness or death. Again, imagine a life without loving anyone so you avoid loss.
We have kicked off an almost six month trek through bringing our defenses down a bit as a way to live more of life, including the pain that comes with it. Our old defenses still want to keep a hand in, so watch for the chatter of your inner critic or fear voice. Remember they have a job to do but not as big a job as they used to and they will have to adjust to your expanding trust in you. After all, there is more of life to live and more of you to bring to it. That’s reason enough to risk pushing back on those fearful lies.
The cards and the star will help you do just that this week.

Lisa Greenfield was missing a video (which means either there isn’t one or it’s going to be late)
If there is one, I will update this post and plug it in. If not, you get what you see below and not much will change from other weeks!
Card of the Week: Two of Stones:
Insight:
This two of stones speaks to competing priorities in where you spend your time. The old patterns may try to push their way in with a familiar fast moving ‘no’ that you need to hipcheck a few times before it backs off. Or it could show up in the form of an actual competition that plays out the inner struggle in real life ways.. The key to this week is pulled straight from the text of Wildwood Tarot because it is perfect. “deal with rivalry or adversity in a dispassionate manner…used to advantage”. My take on it when I look at the cards and the stars is this. The best way to put an end to a tug of war is to drop the rope.
I’m going to call on the immortal words of Shel Silverstein here in his poem, ‘Hug O War’.
I will not play at tug o’ war
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses
And everyone grins
And everyone cuddles
And everyone wins.
Granted that may be less practical as a world policy right now, but how about starting on the microcosm and try it at home. Just for a week. Drop the rope. Does it really matter that much who wins this battle if you all get hurt in the process? There are things to focus on where ‘everyone wins’. Find yours and spend some energy there this week.
Monday: Seven of Bows:
Insight:
This Seven is labeled clearance and with the moon in easy aspect to Chiron and harder aspects to Uranus, which means you have to choose new priorities and use what’s uncomfortable to help you shift yourself back into alignment with the fuller picture of what’s happening and how it benefits you. Those gold nuggets may have a little dirt kicked over them with a dust cloud of old viewpoints and needs a quick turn left or right to get you back on track to clearing out any place you feel ‘less than’.
Get yourself up to top shape mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually today. Check out the places you’ve been ‘limping along’ and jettison the garbage, clean it out or up and fuel yourself for what comes next.
It’s a good day to ‘clean house’ in one form or another. You know which arena needs your attention the most. If you’re not sure, review where you’ve been most stuck or triggered the last few weeks. Start there. It will feel so good once you do.
Take Action:
Seriously, throw one worn out thing away today – be it an old idea, belief, pattern or actual item.
Good luck this week!
