Monthly Forecast: A Mystic Monday Reading

​While the solstice is still a few weeks away, summer has arrived in Houston - for better or worse! School’s out, bringing freedom to students and teachers alike, spilling more of us outside into hot, humid days.

June finds us firmly in the midst of Gemini season, with a Mercury retrograde cherry on top. The retrograde carries with it the usual alerts on communication, mechanics, electronics, and mishaps - yet oddly enough, its slowing action may work beautifully in Gemini. Go with the flow and take a more leisurely pace with your summer fun.

Today (May 30) is the new moon, also in Gemini. You may find yourself feeling restless, impatient. Instead, lean into Gemini’s flexible, creative side to bring things back into balance.

Let’s get a modernist, bold take on these energies with the Mystic Mondays Tarot by Grace Duong.

1: The World

Wherever it appears, the World brings a positive, peaceful message. In a season of graduations and similar milestones, the World offers a promise of reward and respite for the good work you’ve put in.

If this work has been more internal than academic, you may find that you’re more in tune with a balance between your physical and spiritual selves. Chaos may still be afoot around you, but now you have the ability to be your own oasis of calm. The World’s message of harmony and completion encourages you to share what you’ve learned to help others find the same peace.

2: The Star

Doubting your ability to be that “oasis of calm”? Wonder no more, for that phrase perfectly describes the Star. She brings hope and renewal, reinforcing the abundant blessings of the World. You will find yourself more resilient, optimistic, and inspired.

The Star is most prominently a sign that a time of great difficulty is behind you, and you are already in the midst of healing. You can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop; you’re on peaceful shores, and life will continue to improve.

3: King of Pentacles

You might agree that this promised level of calm and tranquility is a gift enough on its own. While that’s certainly true, the King of Pentacles tells us there may be even more. He’s a benevolent, generous leader who shares abundance and prosperity with all.

This is where we will find a more tangible aspect of the World’s reward. Whether you’re launching a career or moving ahead, you should find luck on your side. Business and opportunities begin to flourish, and your resources come together to give you the steady foundation you’ve so deeply desired.
