Week of Doors Open Wide: July 1-7

Deer Moonbabe,
I'm currently traveling solo, writing to your from my friend's couch, thinking a lot about what's happened in the past two years.  The last time I was in Oakland in July, which is exactly where I am right now, in Oakland in July, was two years ago.  I was broken open & deeply questioning whether or not I was even supposed to be reading tarot, or doing any kind of healing work, because of a heartbreaking series of events that transpired in the days leading up to my birthday.  I was on an unplanned extended Summer vacay that unfolded in surprising & beautiful ways, & I can't help but feel those same pangs of What do I do next?  I know enough to keep writing, keep reading, keep grieving & creating.  I know that following the next thing next thing will yield results I can't even imagine right now.  

I'm supposed to be here with my girlfriend & my kid, but the Femmeiverse had other plans for us.  Instead of queer family roadtripping to Oakland & visiting fam in LA, we went in the direction of shipping my kid off to the grandparent's a week earlier than planned, & putting me on a plane to fly solo to puppy-sit for friends, which would leave Suze at home with Lola, puppy extraordinaire.  It's what made the most "sense" considering money things, but it sucks when plans don't work out the way I thought they were gonna.  I'm still recovering from PTSD brain haze, & even though I'm feeling much more like myself, I can definitely tell that I'm taking longer to do work things, & my performance is not up to my usual standard.  It's ok, though.  I'm dealing with a lot, & I'm open to practicing compassion towards myself.

This week's edition of Tarot for the People is late because all last week I was prepping for this trip (instead of sitting down & pulling cards & writing), working to make money for bills etc., & going to the dentist two days in a row cuz I wanted to be sure there wasn't an infection.  Then there was the packing & laundry & mayhem that swirls about when leaving town.  For the next few weeks I'm puppy-sitting in Oakland, lining up tarot readings, visiting friends, sleeping, & trying to follow the Femmeiverse's lead (just like the Gilmore girls theme song).  I have found that the Femmeiverse knows me so much better than I do, & even when  I feel outta my element.

It's my birthday on Sunday.  I finally have a home.  I finally have someone who loves me in ways I love myself.  My kid is healing.  I have boundaries with my family of origin.  I'm in new therapy.  I'm close to the ocean & can visit for the time being.  I'm open & hopeful.  I'm learning how useful & grounding routines are.  I try to moisturize my skin & drink water & take my vitamins.  I try to pray or at least tell the Femmeiverse thanks & love all of my Dacias.  I hope the love & care I put into these weekly readings fill you up, tuck you in, feed your heart & spirit, & inspire new thoughts.  Thank you for receiving what I'm sharing.

Love,
​Dacia

SPIRIT:
​

theme of the week.
​

Last week you dealt with the influence of THE TOWER, which asked you to consider taking down a beloved tower that you’ve spent time, energy, & life blood building so you could journey deeper into your own wounds for healing.  EIGHT of FEATHERS is about facing what remains in the rubble of THE TOWER so you can lay your lingering ghosts to rest.

EIGHT of FEATHERS tells the story of someone who has been denying & avoiding a truth that was too hard to accept, which is totally ok because this is part of the process!  But then this person became too comfortable evading, even to the degree that it became a habit, & then they got so good at it that they couldn’t figure out how to stop running, evading, denying.  In a moment of clarity & humility you surrendered (yup, love, we’re talking about you) & asked the Femmeiverse, your guides & ancestors, &/or your future ancestral self for help. & they’re coming through, orchestrating all kinds of lovely restraints that keep you from turning your head away, keep you still, keep you quiet.
​
There is only one place left to go, tender one, & that’s deep inside your own heart & spirit.  There are no coincidences, this is the brilliance of your wounds that wanna give you more than pain & a hard time.  Embrace them, instead, as portals for grace.

EARTH:
​

sacred cycles & body memories.
​

It’s time to expand your emotional horizons, & you’re gonna do this by visiting those sacred forests of the unknown within your own heart, mind, & spirit.  Nine is the number of completion, which tells me that you’ve been working towards this goal of transforming your relationship to your forest, whether you were aware of it or not.  THE HERMIT indicates that there are probs themes of aloneness happening in your life right now, so don’t be worried if folks seem scarce, it’s actually supporting you by removing any potential distractions.  You will emerge from this cycle with a stronger connection to Spirit & your ancestors, with a keen sense of truth & when someone’s trying to bullshit you, & the urge to burn it all down because you were afraid of what you’d find will give way to compassion.

AIR:
​

understanding how & why the world, your family,

​your community operates.
.

Make sure you’re continually doing your shadow work, checking in with your intentions for why you want what you want & what you’re willing to do to get it.  If you choose to ignore consequences, & denial is awfully tempting at times, you risk doing things like fucking others over to succeed, taking credit for work that is not yours, or causing harm while in survival mode.  But if you slow down & take care of your whole self, especially the parts of you you want to disown, you can discover the healing & power that live there, too!  Claim all of you so that you can come to terms with your actions & know you can trust yourself.

FIRE:
​

forging a new self / identity / rebirth.
​

ARTIST of BONES is all what I call the Ancestral Selfie card, & what I mean by that is that it's your job is to capture the essence of who you are, tap into it & adorn it, & share it with the world!  Your ancestors have always known this part of you, & fully love you just as you are.  Don’t gotta change or edit yourself in any way.  My ancestors embrace my slutty, queer, brown, fat, babygirl crop top wearing self, love me when I’m trying out new lipsticks that maybe don’t match, celebrate me when I find new ways to break open with orgasms, & can’t wait to feed me all the sweet & soft things I crave in this world.  & however you identify & adorn & show up in this world, your ancestors love you, too.  Whatever precious version of yourself you’ve got, let shine shine shine!

WATER:
​

spirituality, receptivity, believing in your magic.
​

Cancer season is a great time to connect with the intuitive world of Spirit.  ARTIST of KEYS is a sign not to doubt whether or not your prayers or offerings are received.  Any time your heart is earnest, no matter your approach, Spirit will work with you. Sometimes people can get stuck on whether or not they’re “doing it right,” connecting with their guides & ancestors, but as long as you’re not being fucked up (like appropriating shit that isn’t yours), you have quite a bit of room to get creative!  Set up an altar space, an area where you can put things that represent your connections with the spirit world, kinda like a portal or threshold.  Imagine that it’s a place where you can commune with your guides & ancestors, like a cute hang out spot, & you wanna make them feel special & acknowledged. You can leave food (but probs don’t let it spoil), drinks, objects, flowers, crystals, personal belongings--the possibilities are endless!  Show them gratitude for the blessings in your life, for the influences they shape in your favor, for keeping you safe, & for bringing people & opportunities that support your growth. The more you are open to connecting with them, the more attuned you will be to the soft ebb & flow of the Femmeiverse & feel how deeply loved you are.
