Focus
Card for May: XIV Temperance
This
month may feel like a balancing act as you work to
bring harmony to what may appear to be the
incompatible. Open your mind to new ways of working
with differences, and you’ll find that harmony
can always be maintained.
ARIES:
XVII Star
Issue:
Why
does life have to be so bloomin’
hard?!
Insight:
Hard
times allow us to build strength, it’s true, but
hardships get old after a while. Don’t give up.
Help is on the way, so hold the hopeful vision of
success, of happiness, of wishes fulfilled. As you
keep the faith, so does that faith keep you, so hang
on for just a bit longer. You can do it.
TAURUS: XIII Death
This
is the card of peaceful transformation - not the
horrifying card predicting the death of the body as
it is usually portrayed in sensational B-movies.
Issue:
Things
are not going the way they **should** go.
Insight:
The
transformation indicated by this card is usually not
one that is easily embraced; think of things such as
letting go of cherished illusions, of relationships
that are hurtful, of beliefs that have outlived their
usefulness and truth. Take a hard look within. Where
are you seeing what you want to see instead of what
is? What advice have you resisted? Perhaps it is
rooted in a truth that is difficult to face. Face it,
let go the illusions, and move on to happier days.
GEMINI:
Seven Pentacles
Issue:
I
thought things would be going my way by
now.
Insight:
You
can prepare the soil and sow the seeds, but you
can’t rush the harvest. Ultimately, you can only
control yourself. This is a time to trust that your
efforts will bear fruit, even if it seems otherwise.
If you have given it your best shot, rest peacefully
in the knowledge that your good efforts will bring
good results. If you haven’t given your best
effort, correct what is within your control and then
relax. You’ve done all you can; now you must
wait.
CANCER:
Ten Cups
Issue:
Knock
on wood, things are looking up!
Insight:
This
is the time for you to relax and enjoy the love of
family and friends. Take a break from worrying about
tomorrow and enjoy today with its blessings. As you
bask in others’ love for you, see in it a mirror
of Creator’s love for you and reflect that love
to self as well as those around you.
LEO:
Eight Cups
Issue:
I’m
so tired of trying all the time!
Insight:
Sometimes
the best you can do is not enough to bring about the
result you wanted. Relationships don’t always
work out, jobs may be less satisfying than you hoped,
what you have is not what you wanted. If you’ve
done your best, look within: maybe now is the time to
stop trying and just...let go. Letting go is a
powerful action. It brings relief from unsuccessful
effort, true, but it also opens the way for unexpected
intervention. Let go.
VIRGO:
Page of Wands
Issue:
The
same old thing is tiresome and
frustrating
Insight:
Get
ready for inspiration. Perhaps there is a way to
revitalize the stagnant and unproductive aspects of
life that frustrate you. Take time to be soothed by
the sun and breezy nudges and you may find an entirely
new inspiration is born. When it hits, follow it!
LIBRA:
Three Cups
Issue:
Life
has been busy and you’ve not taken time for
pleasure.
Insight:
Look
around you. Do you see it? Family, friends, health,
all that good stuff? They’re yours, so give in
and revel in the happiness that is the appropriate
response to so many blessings. Take time to celebrate
life, love, laughter. Call in the family and friends,
throw open the doors and windows and be the genial
host to cherished guests. L’Chaim!
SCORPIO:
Five Wands
Issue:
Days
are hectic: there’s too much to do and not enough
time to do it.
Insight:
You’re
right: everyone wants something from you and it’s
impossible to satisfy them all. There is good to come
from this, however. First, others are not helpless
and by learning to do what they can for themselves,
they find greater freedom. Second, you are not
indispensable, so if you take time for yourself, the
world will not fall from its orbit. In this, you find
your own freedom. Remove yourself from the fray and
take a fresh look at the demands made on you.
Those
you wish to address, address in your own time,
confident that others can step in if they wish things
done faster or differently.
SAGITTARIUS: Six Pentacles
Issue:
Things
have been hard of late.
Insight:
The
universe operates on a divine balance. For every
problem, there is an answer. For every hardship,
relief. For every upset, peace. And for you, after
the trials you’ve undergone, there is ease and
relief. “Yes, but when?” your tired heart
may cry. Create balance as best you can. Give love
if you feel lonely; give time if you are rushed; give
money if you feel lack. As you move to create
balance, the universe joins and supports you.
CAPRICORN:
Knight of Swords
Issue:
Feeling
stuck.
Insight:
Stagnation
results when there is no movement. Like a still pond,
the situation goes nowhere and gets rank and heavy.
Get ready to start movement, and perhaps not only
quickly but in unexpected directions. You may also
find yourself preparing for a trip you hadn’t
planned to take, so do a little organizing in advance.
Once a breath of newness makes its way in, everything
will change in response.
AQUARIUS:
Three Pentacles
Issue:
Financially,
it’s been tight.
Insight:
You’ve
been making do in a lot of ways for a while now, but
take heart. You’ll find that your efforts and
faithfulness have been noticed, so get ready for more
work to come your way. You may find recognition and
cash along with some added stress in terms of
meetings, planning, and rearranging your schedule to
accommodate it all. This is what you’ve strived
for, so if you have to work a bit harder for a while,
focus on your goals being realized and be grateful.
PISCES:
XV Devil
Issue:
Things
aren’t going all that well, but there’s
nothing you can do about it.
Insight:
Maybe
you can do more than you think to remedy the
situation. It’s true that you are facing some
serious restrictions, but whenever there is a loss of
power, the issue is never that your power was taken
from you. The issue is that you gave it away or
didn’t do the hard work of keeping it. Now
things look hopeless and you feel out of control, but
that is an appearance. Take back your power and
transform the negative energy you are feeling into
positive. Give the situation all the positive energy
you can summon, and watch it change for the better.
