June 20th through the 26th is National Pollinator Week and beginning of Cancers’ birthday month. I have two challenges for you this month.

First, did you know that three fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35% of the world’s food crops are dependent on animal pollinators to reproduce? I am sure you all have heard that honey bees and bats are on decline, but the majority of other pollinators are also having trouble.

So your first challenge is to help pollinators. The easiest way is to increase places for them to eat. And the best way to do that, if you have a green space, is to plant some flowering plants. Even a potted flowering plant gives pollinators a way-station from one habitat to the next.  And if you don’t have any green space, search out empty lots and seed bomb them. (You can get these seed bundles in other places like Etsy or a local hardware store. And please be conscious of what you are planting. For instance if you live in Hawaii do not buy an Eastern seed bomb – I am not promoting planting invasive species!)

Second, Cancer rules the emotional realm this month. Emotions are like pollen. As people visit us and we visit them we give off emotions that can stick to people. So this month be responsible for what you are spreading – be that seeds or your emotions.

P.S. Remember, signs with * it’s a big week for you. Below are some pollinators.

Aries – Six of Wands – A victory or break through will happen for you this week. The challenge with this card is taking this for granted or not taking this win to the next level.

 

Taurus – Ten of Swords – Last week, The Hangman’s lessons were about stopping your regular life to take a detour and gain a totally different perspective. This week, the Ten of Swords has shown up. It means that last week detour put you in a vulnerable place. The challenge with this card can be one of two things.   Either you need to follow your intuition by seeing the hits coming and lessen the blow. Or, that last week’s Hangman detour exhausted you, where you feel beat up or floored and need to stop fighting and heal.

Gemini – Ace of Swords – This week is about thoughts and planning. You have some great ideas that need to be work on. This week is best used thinking and writing down plans on what you want to do or start in your coming birth year.

Cancer – Ten of Pentacles – The Ten of Pentacles advises you to spend this week finishing up tasks that you like to do. Tens are cards of endings and pentacles are projects and work. This card is appropriate for your birth month. The challenge with this card is you can’t get it all done today, but don’t worry you have all month to check things off. PS.  To make things easier.  Do the things that are close to completion first, and  be grateful for the things you receive.

Leo – Queen of Wands and Two of Swords – For those of you born in the first two weeks of Leo this is a week for you to make some decisions and stop over thinking or being wishy-washy. Honestly when this card shows the decision is more important than the choice. For the other half born in the second half of Leo, this week you need to think creatively. Continue to think outside the box to make a container that fits you.

Virgo – Ace of Wands – New beginnings are the theme this week with the Ace of Wands. This card is challenging you to grow something new. So the big question is what seeds are you going to plant this week? And I have an exercise for you. Try to literally plant some seeds. See opening paragraph.

Libra – Page of Swords – The Page of Sword’s lesson is around hidden information. It is time to do some investigating into solving a problem this week. This card’s challenge is you will have to do some digging to get your answers.

Scorpio – Knight of Cups – This card is made for Scorpios. The Knight of Cups is challenging you to up the passion index in your life. Play without purpose. Dance like nobody is watching. Smile at strangers. Turn on your charm and have a lovely week. Just stay safe will doing it.

Sagittarius – Three of Swords – Last week The Hierophant challenge you to re-establish structure into your life and reinforce morality into your world. This week the Three of Swords is continuing the theme through the action of releasing three negative thought patterns that no longer fit or are useful in this new order. The challenge with this card is after you have released them being able to sit with the emptiness without filling the holes back up.

Capricorn – Four of Wands – Last week you worked with the paradox of Temperance, where one cannot dial something back to a six unless one experiences the seven or ten. This week you get to relax with the Four of Wands. This card means enjoying yourself at home. The challenge – can you slow down to do it?

Aquarius – Queen of Pentacles – The Empress theme continues with the Queen of Pentacles. Last week, the Empress was asking you what did you want to grow to love and be loved.   This week the Queen of Pentacles asks the practical question – how are you going to do it. This is best done hands on, so go hug your love ones, ask for what you need and want, and make sure you put the oxygen mask on yourself before putting it on others.

Pisces – Page of Pentacles – Page of Pentacle is the student card. When it shows up there is something for you to learn this week. So eyes and ears open.   Mind turned on.

 

 

May light be on you, around you, and within you,
