Clear Boundaries and our Wise Inner Guides

Surviving the trump administration, A Daily Thread. Episode 27: Tarot Tuesday: Clear Boundaries and our Wise Inner Guides

I’ve been feeling really fucking anxious today, so when I remembered that it’s Tarot Tuesday, I asked the cards HOW CAN WE CHANNEL OUR ANXIETY?? And I drew the 7 of Wands. I was interested and delighted to see that there is a Mountain Lion on this particular card from The Naked Tarot deck by Jillian C. Wilde, which adheres nicely to last week’s themes of the full moon in Leo and my musings about channeling our inner Big Cat energy to get brave and use our voices in this chaotic world.

In the guidebook for this card, Wilde also reminds us to keep our boundaries strong so that we can determine what energy belongs to us and what doesn’t! This seems especially relevant, as it’s next to impossible not to get wrapped up in the fear-mongering and anxiety-spinning and hate-spewing and blame-gaming and name-calling that is LITERALLY EVERYWHERE on the internet. So: the 7 of Wands reminds us that we are not the media we consume. We are autonomous beings, fully capable of nurturing our compassion and joy, living according to our personal values, and using our voices in a world that is trying to tell us we shouldn’t, or can’t, or that it won’t matter anyway.

They’re wrong. We can. And it does matter. Every little step we take to cultivate compassion, truth, joy, or connection MATTERS. We are powerful and discerning, and we each have a wise inner compass to follow when we’re afraid we’re losing our way. THAT is what the 7 of Wands is telling us today.
