Tarot Compass — South

Late Morning
Early Summer
Expansion

If East awakens and Southeast initiates, South is where growth becomes visible.

This direction carries the energy of commitment, courage, and strengthening through effort. The seedling is no longer hidden beneath the soil. It reaches toward the sun.

In tarot, South often appears through the middle Wand cards:

Four of Wands — Invest
A stable structure begins to form.

Five of Wands — Intensify
Challenge and friction strengthen growth.

Six of Wands — Inspire
Confidence rises through perseverance.

This is the stage where the path asks for real energy.

Reflection

What is asking for your full energy right now?

Step

Reach toward sunlight.
Commit to what grows.

Tarot Compass — Southeast

Sunrise · Early Effort · Unfolding

If East represents awakening, Southeast represents the first stirring of momentum.

This is the moment when inspiration begins to move.

In tarot symbolism, this direction often appears through the early Wand cards.

Ace of Wands — Ignite
The spark appears. Energy enters the world.

Two of Wands — Imagine
Vision expands. Possibility stretches toward the horizon.

Three of Wands — Initiate
The journey begins. The path starts unfolding.

These cards reflect the stage where imagination becomes initiative.

You may not yet know where the road leads.

But something inside you is ready to move.

Reflection

What idea is asking for your energy right now?

Step

Ignite the spark.
Imagine the path.
Initiate the journey.

Today we begin with East.

Dawn.
Early Spring.
The moment breath returns to the land.

In the Awen Ovate compass, East represents the first stirring of awareness. The world begins again here.

In tarot, this direction often carries the energy of the Page or the Ace, the cards where something new takes root.

Examples include:

• Page of Pentacles
• Ace of Pentacles
• The Fool

These are not cards of mastery. They are cards of beginning.

Curiosity.
Learning.
First steps.

From a Jungian perspective, this direction reflects the early movement of identity forming. Awareness wakes. Questions arise. Possibility enters the field.

We do not yet know the whole path.

But something has started.

Reflection

What is beginning in your life right now?

Step

Plant the seed. Start small.

Sometimes the most powerful movement forward begins with one quiet act of attention.

What’s something you’ve experienced that made you stop and just drink it in?
The kind of moment that reminds you how vast and beautiful this world really is.

You can also invite storytelling with one more gentle line:

What’s something you’ve experienced that made you stop and just drink it in?
The kind of moment that reminds you how vast and beautiful this world really is.
I’d love to hear yours.

Let's do a of some lessons learned in 2020.

02/01/2026

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.

A small, old habit for the first morning of the month.
Three words said before the day begins.
A way of noticing the turn.

Imbolc sits right here.
Winter still holding.
Spring already insisting.

The ground tells the truth.
Daffodil tips pushing through snow.
Not loud. Not finished. Just real.

A candle lit because light matters.
A corn dolly because hands remember.
A woven cross because care is an action, not an idea.

The full Leo moon hangs bright and steady.
Not dramatic. Simply present.
A reminder that warmth returns, even when we are patient.

This season does not ask for belief.
It asks for attention.

Say the words if you want.
Pause if you need.
Notice what is beginning, quietly, anyway.

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.

The Leo Full Moon rises like a small spotlight over the week, asking a simple but confronting question:

✨ Where have you been dimming your light to belong?

Leo is ruled by the Sun, so this lunation isn’t just about feelings, it’s about expression. It holds up a mirror to the ways we perform, over-function, or stay small to keep the peace. It also gently reveals the parts of us that are ready to be seen, celebrated, and creatively expressed.

Across from Leo is Aquarius, the sign of the collective. Together they ask us to navigate the tension between:
• my truth and our belonging
• being authentic and being acceptable
• shining honestly and performing a role

For this Full Moon, I’m working with the Strength archetype – not as dominance, but as devotion:
quiet courage, heart-led power, the willingness to stay soft and present instead of armoring up.

A few Moonlit Mirrors questions to sit with under this moon:
• Where am I dimming my light to keep things comfortable?
• What part of me is ready to be seen or reclaimed?
• What does authentic joy actually look like in my body and my days?

If you’d like a fuller reflection, an affirmation, and a simple candle-and-mirror practice, I’ve gathered it all in my Moonlit Mirrors: Full Moon in Leo entry on the blog. 🌕
