Summary: In this episode of Tarot for the Wild Soul, we’re talking about how to weave the Tarot into relaxing and softening into the medicine of Mercury Retrograde as we see more need to step into sacred activism. Personal responsibility is really important now, in these times—more than ever—to not respond from pain and fear, but from a desire to show up in our values, to take actions for a sense of peace and equanimity. What we say matters. What we do now matters. We need to dive really deeply, step forward, and speak when it is in alignment. We’re also talking about the medicine the Swords of the Tarot offer. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial that we begin to look at the swords—not as problems, but as opportunities. Any fear that we look deeply in the eyes at becomes a deep ally to us.
