March 2024 Monthly Collective Reading
I don’t know about the weather but the cards below indicate winter isn’t quite done with us yet even though the calendar might say otherwise in a couple of weeks. While you may be itching to work on growth and new energy, this reading is your sign to pump the brakes. You still have some work to do before your life’s garden is ready to welcome new things. But just because the “work” isn’t done doesn’t mean you aren’t still growing, just not in the romantic exciting way that usually comes to mind with the spring season.
There’s a lot of goodness in these cards so try not to see this as something difficult or inconvenient. I say this all of the time because I believe it, you can change your life. It's not a pipe dream but it is challenging and that’s why so many people aren’t able to do it. I don’t believe in coincidences so if you’re reading this page, it's because some part of your spirit is ready to put in the work to shift your life. Grab that part and hold onto it with dear life.

Overall Energy: Fog (obscurity, feeling lost)
You may feel as though you can’t see what’s ahead of you this month. Perhaps you’re contemplating a problem or have some things you’d like to do but can’t seem to get any traction on your idea. Or maybe you just feel stuck and are seeking something different from what you have. Fog is only temporarily obstructing your path but it won’t last for long. You won’t be able to see too far in front of you but as long as you can see the next step, you can continue moving past your current situation. Take things one step at a time this month until more clarity presents itself.
The six of swords sheds more light on why you may be feeling stuck. Perhaps you aren’t stuck so much as avoiding the changes you know you’ve needed to make. It may be time to acknowledge the end of an era and the beginning of something else instead. What do you need to release when it comes to your finances and well-being? Do you have poor habits or beliefs, unrealistic expectations, seeking the easy path rather than digging in and putting in the work? The reversed six of swords is asking you to confront the ways you may be keeping yourself stuck in one place. Often a lack of clarity is placed upon you so that you can confront what is immediately in front of you.
Does this sound familiar? You think you have clarity but then something just feels off? You have a new idea but you feel a little confused about it? Your relationship isn’t bad but maybe not good either. Your job is ok but you feel like something is missing? Your life is good but you wonder if it could be great? That’s the energy of the reversed two of cups. There was a point in your life where what you had was enough, maybe even more than enough. But the luster has worn off or things have become too familiar and now, you’re looking for something else. And the lack of fulfillment may be causing you to be a bit more irritable than usual. Little things may suddenly bother you or you’re finding yourself bored and lacking engagement. Take this card as a sign to be honest about how you’re feeling. If something isn’t working, identify the source of the problem and communicate it with any others involved, including with yourself. Give voice to whatever is lacking. This is the first step in figuring out how to get past it.
March is not a month for excitement. This is a put your head down and get it done kind of month. This is your space to gain clarity and understanding. It's your time to elevate, maybe even a month to disappear and just get things together. Focus on what’s not working. Take inventory of everything in your life and organize it into what feels right and what does not. You know how to change but you’ve been too afraid or discouraged to do it. You want more money? You know you have to work on your wealth consciousness which includes learning how to manage your money better. You want to bring an idea to life. That might require working nights and weekends. You want to lose weight or feel more secure in your body. Well, you know diet and exercise and self-care is the path forward. You’ll be surprised just how much clarity you have when you actually take a good honest look at what you don’t like about your situation.
The king of wands in this case is delivering a bit of a wake up call. It suggests there is a desire to do big things and maybe even be a leader in your community. Maybe not a business or as an influencer although these things surely fall into this category. But it can also mean being a parent leading your children, being a leader at work, or just being the one to bring a voice of reason to your friends. However, you have to learn to lead yourself before you can be that for others. How you live is leading by example. You can’t tell someone to eat right while you’re sucking down a soda and expect to be taken seriously. The king has earned the respect he has. He has an idea, he makes a plan and then he makes it happen. No excuses, no crying about what he lacks, and no putting it off. He sees his target and he does everything he can to hit it. You are being asked to nurture the same quality within yourself. You can change your life. It's not a self-help dream but a reality you can actually claim. The only question now is will you?
The reversed moon is urging you to deal with your anxieties and shadows. It's true, you can change your situation but oftentimes, your emotions can make you feel powerless. If you want to break through the fog, then you are going to have to dig deep and figure out what emotions are hurting you and what’s helping you. And you can do this by simply stopping to think about what you’re feeling and asking yourself “Is this helping me?” You can do this with thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, ideas, relationships and so on. Just ask yourself how this person, place, thing or thought is contributing to your wealth, health or happiness. Will it take time to get a handle on things? Absolutely. It's not a journey for the faint of heart but if being happy is more important to you than being miserable, then surely the time and effort is worth the wait.
