TAROT READING
By Rebecca MacLean



The card of the month is the number seventeen of the Major Arcana: The Star—a hopeful card
that reminds us to keep looking up— towards our dreams and goals.
The woman on the card has one leg in water, the other on land. She is pouring water diligently;
her eyes are cast down and she is on a bended knee; it seems like all of her attention is focused
on what she is doing. The Star reminds us to be mindful. It symbolizes a balance between the
emotional and practical part of our lives. Sometimes there is a simple pleasure found in
mundane everyday tasks. Next time you cook dinner take some time to use at least four senses.
It is important to take care of our bodies by finding food and sleep. However, it is also vital that
we care for our emotional selves too. Take some time to prioritize how you feel.
How does chopping carrots —look, smell, feel, and taste? Obviously, don’t put yourself into a
dangerous position but see if you can access the world through the eyes of a child. Aim for
discovery and curiosity.
