I’ve pulled this card 3…4(?) times in the last couple of weeks. And I have not pulled often. It was also on the bottom of my deck last night, when I put it away. I shuffled it in this morning and then, BAM 💥, here it is again.
This one is about releasing the old, negative stories and self-limiting beliefs, to embrace the new, showing the world your gifts and your true self. To me, it is also a transition period - not the safety of a cocoon, but the rawness of peeling back layers.
We celebrated Winter Solstice last night, a day late, with some specially blended Yule incense, candles and card readings. Neither of us have a lot of energy or general capacity at the moment, so these moments feel snatched out of the day.
Our dog, Molly, snapped her doggy ACL by getting the zoomies too hard. She’s had surgery, which took out a wedge of her bone to stabilise her joint. So we’ve had a 13 year old toddler with a broken leg to take care of the last few weeks, which has been physically challenging, as her 30kg body needs hoisting up and down our flight of stairs. But she gets to be pushed around in a pram until she can walk properly again.
But, all is temporary. Life moves around us like a gyroscope, even when we feel that we are standing still.
And our life has moved, somehow, without our beautiful boy, Rio, who passed on Winter Solstice eve two years ago. He watches over us still, and Molly, his little, big sister.
Loving you always, my sunshine boy ☀️
