Action and Authenticity

Deck used is the Everyday Tarot by Bridgit Esselmont

I have to admit, the last post has me mildly shook. For so long, I’ve been told I’m “a girl of my own kind,” and it is still sometimes hard to accept that my space is already taken by myself. I know I can do what I set out for and yet the fear I still sometimes get holds me back from really going for the end goal. What do I do with these emotions? Perhaps my cards have the answer for me.

from the Everyday Tarot by Bridgit Esselmont

The Cards

The Star: a time for action channeled through authenticity, be open to new possibilities, stay true, and have faith in yourself.

10 of cups: the creation of a life of bliss, following your heart and trusting your intuition, wholeness, completion, and alignment

The world: coming full circle, successful completion of a project, the close of one chapter and the opening of another

This reading is showing me that I have what it takes to get things done if I stay true to who I am and stay open to the possibilities that are before me. I have created a life of beauty and bliss and this has come to me by trusting my gut instincts and following my heart. There have been challenges along the way but I have seen myself through them to the end of one project and the start of another. I also need to know that whatever part of the road comes next will be meant for me and that I don't have to look for outside sources to keep me on the straight and narrow. That road will end too and the cycle will go on so long as I stay true to who I am and what I want.

It’s also interesting to me that this post comes after the last one. In yesterdays’ post, it talks about the fact that I need to express my truth a little more clearly. Perhaps this is the call to action to be authentic to that truth, to express it and know that things will change, energies that don’t serve me will drop away and the road I’m on is meant for me no matter how challenging it becomes to see a clear path forward. All the nights I lost sleep over believing I wasn’t good enough to have a business of my own and all the times I believed I had to fall in line and do what was expected of me, rather than strike out on my own were hard because I didn’t want to believe my self-talk. I’m glad I dug deep to find my authenticity and I’m glad I took action where it counted. Lune Rouge exists because I did just that. And honestly, I’ve never been happier.
