Life’s coming at us fast & we are all trying to carve out our survival. But community is survival, so success will only come through connection. For the rest of this month continue to plan your escape or your battle, your future & your heart work.

The cards clear for us safe passage no matter the endeavor. & the endeavors are big; life altering. Pay attention to those around you, this card holds such a universality, which means that everyone is on the same frequency.

Today with the THREE OF WANDS, spirit is doubling down on success, on travel & journey, on opportunity. Listen carefully. Do not waste this energy. If you’ve been meaning to go, then go! If you are meaning to fight, fight.

This month we were told to go on a journey. The cards also spoke of fallen emperors, of leaning into hard-work, steadfastness & frugality. It reminded us that activism without pleasure is only half a life. The cards predicted victory & hinted towards a future forged with sacred feminine energy.

So support women, love women, protect women & be lead by the heart; heart-work heals everything.

To forge a way forward we have to hold fast to our feminine ideals, hold close our sweetness & our love for the world. Look where we are & imagine where we could be if leadership were exclusively in our hands..

All of this to say, the future is woman, the future is tender, the future is pussy pink & absolutely in contradiction with the male energy that has kept our planet in its chokehold of domination, violence & colonization.

Stay soft, use your intuition & be kind. Yesterday’s card spoke of leadership, of battle, of victory.

So gather your neighbors, learn their names, their dreams, their needs & their contributions & build your ark, cast your spells & though we may lose some battles, a good leader knows it ain’t ever over — the world we hope for is possible, we just gotta snap out of o ur apathy & do SOMETHING.

We do this because class consciousness, because collective liberation, because it’s actually the only way to survive long enough to forge a sweet future for our babies. & as Baldwin said “every child is ours”.

The world is a big place & yet lately it’s been feeling like the world might close in around us. We counter that feeling by reaching for one another across miles & cultures, languages & rituals.
