Phenomenal courage. Raw power. Inevitable, undeniable strength and beauty.
Today is National Coming Out day. The energy today is layered. I don’t sense anything global or too soft or esoteric today. The national energy is too loud. There is this bottom tarry layer thick with fear and anger over national politics, the cost of living, the impending election and feeling terrorized by growing christofascists making things progressively worse.
For anyone to come out, or even to take baby steps along a path of coming out, in this energy climate is mind-blowing.
Compassion and authenticity are our most powerful allies in these times.
Last night’s Daylight/Twilight card asked us to consider our strengths and superpowers. Today’s layout suggests that compassionate authenticity is our superpower for these times.
After 50+ years of gradual, strategic manipulation and takeover the right-wing Republicans and Christian evangelicals have shown us who they truly are. People have literally been shot in the street by masked government sanctions SS-like goons and they are planning a live stream execution. The layer fear and anxiety is almost palpable. It makes intuitive work -um- challenging to say the least. All applause to all of the energy sensitive people out there holding it all together over the next few weeks.
Over top of the layer of maga-sludge I sense I lighter layer, a hopeful layer, it looks like shimmering lines, like heat rising from a summer roadway. That is the alliance of compassion and authenticity. It hums with the strength and power of people being their true, unabashed self while at the very same time being compassionate toward all of the other unabashedly authentic people around them.
Together, that alliance of authenticity and compassion looks like a force field, containing those whose true authentic selves have proven to be hateful, bigoted, racist and worse.
Drawing three cards as a simple pathway reading for this week:
The 8 of cups, the influence of the past, talks about abandoning the toxic, walking away from that which no longer serves any compassionate or useful purpose.
The King of Wands, the current energy, speaks of honoring yourself, take command and leadership of your inner world. The outer world my force you to make certain choices for your safety and inner peace at times, but they can never rob you of your true self unless you surrender it. If you have to make tough choices, honor them and your courage to make make them. But never forget you can choose differently as circumstances change. The castle doesn’t have to change on the inside no matter whether it flies the King’s colors on the outside or not.
The 10 of cups shows the direction we are headed. I ‘hear’ “found family is your home now”
The people you love and trust and the home you create for yourself is your true home.
Those of us who can and have done that must be the force-field for the young ones who can not. It is essential that we all are the safe space for those coming out to come out in to.
We all must make out a safe and good place to be.
We all must keep a lid on the evil sludge and create a shimmering zone of safety.
If it takes political speech and massive voter turn out to do that, so be it.
No matter what lies on the other side of coming out, no matter what lies on the other side of this coming election, compassion and authenticity remain our assets and allies that will allow us to create that space where all of good will are welcome.
