MEssage of the Moment

A balanced approach will be required for seeing your way through some of the day’s murkiness. It feels a little dark and gloomy, but Measuring Spoons radiate the full color spectrum, and Le Pape feels like an unusually bright point of color in the larger spread. Given that, remember to look for that moments of light and levity. See the full spectrum experience in the day and try to bring something fresh to balance out the grey or the heaviness. Like a dash of spice in a recipe, add some salt with the sweet or acid with what’s heavy. Punch it up a little, be it finding the sweetness in a bitter day or taking some time out to reframe some things that you don’t like the look of on the surface. Don’t be afraid to experiment if needed, but remember that you don’t need to make big changes or add a ton of new ingredients to make a difference. Add slowly and in proportion as needed. A little can go a long way today, but make sure to flavor your day because it looks “no sauce” on the face of it.

It’s an eye-opening day but hopefully not in a scary way. I expect that for most of us, it will be more energizing than unnerving thanks to the day and season. There’s a lot of chill energy behind that wide-eyed energy of Guarana. As a whole, I feel a sense of vision and self-guidance from these cards. It seems like a good day to sit back and look at the big picture before you jot down your visions for the future. Remember to take the high-altitude approach and not get lost in the weeds. It can be easy and, for some of us, incredibly satisfying to iron out all the details, but they’ll distract you from the real work today, which will benefit from a more far-reaching vision. Show yourself the way and set milestones for yourself if need be. Let yourself be guided with some intentional scaffolding once you’re ready to get specific (and you’ll need to because it can’t all be big picture). Some general guide rails will be enough to keep you on track without forcing you to follow a path that isn’t working for you down the road.

Yep, the Jars are back! And what you tucked away for later is on its way to becoming lightning in a bottle. Something is brewing, something brilliant. If you took my advice yesterday, I bet you’re glad you wrote it down (or that you stayed out of the limelight) yesterday. That said, it’s not time for release. It’s still building and brewing. Jars are about storing away and, on a personal level, compartmentalizing. You may need to set aside your excitement and feelings about what’s going on in order to make the most of what you’ve set in motion. I’ve joked that Taurus season is for edging because it holds in earth what Aries started through fire. Well, that’s the vibe here, of holding onto that light or lightning or whatever and letting it build into something brighter. It’s possible that this has something to do with the start of the week’s insights, but it could be any development that you’ve set aside and now are a little antsy to get moving again. Everything has its season. If you pluck the fruit before it’s ready, it might be edible, but it’s not going to be what it could be. (And no, you shouldn’t consider this financial advice because I can’t legally give you that, but I personally am not going to be pulling out of any investments today.)
