Tarot Forecast for March
Cards are from The Ostara Tarot*
Three cards for the month which all show aspects of working with divine feminine energy, which is not surprising given Venus is moving into Pisces.
The Empress shows us that to be with the energy of March we must follow our feet down onto the fertile earth below; we must be grounded and feel the strength and richness of that connection. The Sacred Mother loves and supports us.
The 7 of Cups suggests we have been performing for an audience, but in order to feel acceptable we have had to conceal our true nature. This month we can take away the mask and trust in who we are at the core. The Libra Full Moon Eclipse is a potent time for releasing masking and performative people-pleasing behaviours.
The Queen of Wands, reminiscent of the Strength card, shows us that our creative power shines when we work WITH ourselves, letting each part of us do what it does best. We do not need to beat down our animal nature, or our earthly bodies, we need to cultivate a relationship with them/ us which is collaborative and powerful.
New beginnings are possible now but we cannot force them to present themselves any more than we can force a flower bud to open. No! Instead we cultivate an environment which is nurturing and supportive to growth. That means talking to ourselves kindly, making sure we have enough sleep, food, exercise, rest, fun, stimulation - you get the idea. Austerity cannot birth abundance. Lean into your gifts and treat yourself as the earthly divine being that you are. Let each part of you do its job. You can trust yourself. You've got this.
