Monthly Tarot Forecast: Nurture, Progress, and Energy

May flowers have burst into color everywhere we look - and here in Houston, we’re already seeing the beginnings of summer. The month is bounding forward, full of joy and excitement.

In the US, we’re also approaching Mother’s Day, a time to celebrate not only those who gave birth to us, but everyone who has played a part in our nurture and comfort. Be it a relative, a mentor, or even a deity, their influence helps us find our way through the world.

To honor all the mothering aspects that surround us, we’re looking to the Goddess Tarot by Kris Waldherr, available regularly at Indigo Moons.

1: Princess (Page) of Swords

Last month, the energy was guiding us ahead with no time to think twice. The Princess of Swords steps forward with clarity and intelligence, prepared to make quick work of life’s puzzles and speak with well-considered insight.

She also brings with her a sense of curiosity and adventure. Explore what’s new and exciting, but always use your head. You may need this Sword to clear a few obstacles in your way.

2: Six of Cups

This six represents the warmth and comfort of home - but it asks for further examination, as “home” can mean something very different from person to person.

If you’re close with your family of origin, you may find solace and uplift in spending time with parents, grandparents, siblings. A phone call, a short trip, or a video chat could rebalance you if this busy season has you feeling harried.

What if your younger years were a difficult time? Holidays like these may bring up complex or hurtful emotions, but it doesn’t have to mean despair. If you parented yourself, found a safe place in a family of choice, or embraced a spiritual path, you have just as much right to celebrate as anyone else.

3: Eight of Pentacles

After the renewal of a comforting embrace, you’ll have an easier time finishing something that’s important to you. The Eight of Pentacles sees you gazing with satisfaction upon something beautiful you’ve created, fulfilled by exercising your talent and dedication.

There may be work ahead yet to complete, but have faith that you’ve arrived at a milestone and proved that you can make it to the finish. Your perseverance has paid off. Take joy in your accomplishment and enjoy the momentum toward your next success.
