seer: aquarius season tarot love letter
reflecting the sun, predicting the magician, anchoring three of pentacles
hello beloveds,
welcome to aquarius season, we love, we are loved, and we are - love.
we decided to start writing monthly tarot love letters, allegedly. “allegedly” because we are in retrograde season, for both mercury and venus, and the fear-mongering surrounding the sustainability of creating something new during such season is dominant. contrarily, rx season is the phase for a re-creation; thus - it is an invitation for new beginnings depending on one’s perspectives. we don’t give a fuck honestly - because we are at a space where we believe the planets are collaborating with our intentions, never against them, not directly at least.
we created a tarot spread for the first installation of the “seer” series, where we share tarot insights and interpretations for the month ahead. we are consciously using the word “we” because we have always felt that whenever we write - we are never alone in our writing and sharing. the usage feels very resonant as a person with a pisces mercury. the usage also feels more inclusive and less individualistic in terms of the presented ideas here. we believe “originality” comes from “authenticity,” yet at the same time - nothing is original.
for aquarius season, we are pulling three cards for contemplation.
the first card represents somewhat the past - hence the “reflecting.”
the second card represents somewhat the future - therefore the “predicting.”
the third card represents somewhat the present - hence the “anchoring.”
“somewhat” because all of us experience the concept of time differently, for us - time is perpetually bending and blending, more chaotic and less systematic.
here are the cards pulled from the mother tarot deck ~
the reflecting card: the sun
in astrology, the sun is considered in exile in aquarius: because aquarians prefer to decenter themselves, and by doing so, they go against the concept of the sun being the center of our solar system. decentering does not mean there is a lack of confidence or identity, in fact, we feel aquarians are one of the most assured and principled signs in embodying who they are. the sun card here reminds me of how we have forgotten our pleasures and joys, or perhaps we are forced to forget. as a reflecting card, it reminds us of the moments when we have to let go of certain pleasures to invite new ways of pleasuring. perhaps this season is an invitation to let go of things that used to bring us joy. mourning our joys is complex because we thought such feelings of delight are no longer accessible for us in the future, we felt as if our charms are lost. we are reminded of that childhood moment where our favorite toys were lost or broken, something that happens beyond our power and influence. yet this time around, the “power” is more so of our own doing - we have lost love interest, or at least we have lost the liveliness derived from certain people, places, things. letting go does not equate to losing our sense of selves, it is allowing us to let loose of our impression of selves, lights out.
the predicting card: the magician
the magician here is an alchemist, a budding flower alchemist to be exact. perhaps this season is when we start something we have always feared to begin - fuck it. the common interpretation of the magician card alludes to a sense of “resourcefulness,” however, in this case we beg to differ. resources are not always available for all of us, especially those among us who are just trying to get by, there are always some parts of us that are just trying to get by - to survive. we cannot feel “resourced” if we are purely trying to survive, feeling resourced is a privilege. thus, the flower alchemist here reminds us that nature is our best resource, our best friend. over the past year, we have grown more affinity towards flowers because they seem to know something more about life than us. flowers, like nature, teach us to trust our timings and beginnings - having patience as much as having boldness. perhaps this month, we are given a second chance to begin again, with our pluckiness. we all deserve opportunities, multiple chances. as much as the magician is numbered as “one,” there could be multiple “one” moments. take notice one day before or after February 3, when mercury stations direct, astrologically mercury corresponds to the magician card. if nobody told us we are ready, this card is here to confirm that we are all set, we are magick.
the anchoring card: three of pentacles
throughout aquarius season, we are being invited to internalize three love messages:
we are not alone in our journeys - we have each other.
there are beings out there who are craving for our magick - they want to witness our success and are willing to offer their help, ask the seen and unseen.
hug and touch ourselves more, hug and touch each other better, stay a little longer - take a deep and loving breath with each hug, we have been touch-starved.
wishing us all a beautiful aquarius season. please let us know if any of these messages resonated as we move through aquarius season, together.
we love you, keep loving.
