For me, the 5 of swords leads the conversation. Strength sets the scene, but the 5 of swords tells me more. I think the 5 of swords creates the tension by asking how you’re going to respond to what Strength is presenting. I noticed all the faces are looking away from us. To me, they’re both asking us to look at how we want to show up in our lives, who we want to be. The conversation feels like an evaluation of whether we’re gonna let fear or strength take over and who that will let us become. Are we going to find the strength to be victorious or let fear defeat us and give up?

As I finalize June's Quest, I'd love your input on live stream scheduling. Our community spans multiple countries and time zones, so finding a perfect time isn't possible ... but I'd like to find a time that works for as many members as possible. If you're interested in participating in Quest live streams, let me know: 📍 What country/time zone are you in? 📅 Which day(s) work best? - Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday - Friday - Saturday - Sunday 🕒 Which time of day would you be most likely to attend? - Morning - Afternoon - Evening And one more question: If you couldn't attend live, would you watch the replay and participate in the discussion afterward? Your feedback will help shape June's schedule.

A gentle reminder for those participating in June's Quest that your Week 1 observations are ready to be shared. Once you've spent some time with the Seven of Cups, head over to the Quests category in the Community tab and create your Week 1 post. Include: • The first thing you noticed• Something you initially overlooked• One thing that felt emotionally loud• One thing that felt strangely quiet• One sentence beginning with: "I noticed..." Remember, the goal isn't to interpret the card or find the "right" answer. The goal is to notice. After you've posted, spend some time reading the observations of others. What did they see that you missed? What details became visible after seeing the card through another reader's eyes? I'm looking forward to seeing what emerges. 🔍

Reading Rooms is now open inside the Classroom/Devotional Quests. This month's Quest is a little different. Instead of focusing on memorization, meanings, or finding the "right" answer, we're going to explore what happens when readers look at the same cards together. What do you notice? What do others notice? What changes when you see a card through someone else's eyes? Week 1 is now available and waiting for you. If you've ever wondered whether you're "doing tarot right," this month may surprise you. Head into the Classroom when you're ready and join us. I'm looking forward to seeing what emerges. 🔍

Notice what shows up as you approach it - resistance, curiosity, avoidance, readiness. That awareness is part of the work. Then begin anyway.
