Hey y'all Jeida here with another weekly word. I am going to be doing a quick week ahead reading for the energy of the week for the days of March 27 through April 2. And the card that I have here, which is the vibe for the week is the star card. Now I love the star card because it is the car in the Major Arcana that directly follows the tower. And if you're following me on Instagram, you may have already seen that I did a real on the tower, what the tower is all about. If you aren't familiar the tower is the card in the tarot where there is usually a tower a structure. And there's lightning. And there's there's when and there's people falling out of buildings, and there's just chaos. And so after the tower, we enter into the universe of the star in the star has a person with two jugs of water in their hands and they're kneeling on the land with one foot in water the other they're kneeling down in the in the grass. And they have two jobs. One is like pouring water into a pond into this water. And then the other is like pouring water onto the ground. Now what I love about this car and the energy for this week, is that the the star card is a card of hope that lets us know that what we thought would end us in the tower moment was a lie. What we thought was going to be the end was actually just the end of an era or a phase or a chapter. That's not the end of the book. It's the middle of the story. The tower is the middle is not the end, and the star is like the next page or the chapter or the star is the next episode is not is not what felt we could have felt like was catechist cataclysmic or, like destructive in the tower moment. The star is here to say look, there is a tomorrow there is a future. There is another day. There is hope there is faith. There is a moment of recuperation. When I think of the star, I think the aftershocks of an earthquake and I typically associate the tower with earthquakes because I think about tectonic plates. And I think about the tectonic plates that exist underneath the earth and how that friction is what causes you know the earth to shake and would cause foundations that are not settled to crumble. And so the star car to me is like the aftershocks, it can represent the aftershocks. Although the person in this car looks very calm and serene, how many know can I get a witness there sometimes healing is not that easy. The healing work is not always hunky dory is not always fun. It's not always it doesn't always feel good. It's not always peaceful. Sometimes healing is tumultuous, sometimes healing is up and down round and round. And so what it reminds me of that is in this car, the figure, like I said, I described that they have two jugs of water, one of them pouring water or gathering water from the pond and the other jug is pouring water onto the land was interesting is that the person in the card is focused on one jug in the water. But the other jug is behind them. It's almost as if the water that's be important to the Earth is accidental, like this, like it's actually a spill more than an intentional action. And so what this is saying to me is that sometimes like healing is a lot like this. Sometimes healing is a lot like that. And in that when you're focused on one area of healing, one area of focus, like okay, I'm going to work on my inner child I'm going to work on I'm going to work on dealing with my inner child wounds and all of that. And then something happens over here in the distance that you need to worry about right now. And now it's like okay, let me I gotta stop dealing with the inner child stuff. And now I need to deal with my mother rule. And then it's like, oh, no, that's actually bringing up other things like this is also thinking about is actually bringing up like child church trauma.
Oh my goodness. So now I have to put this down and and so like it's almost like this divided attention and also like this urgency to heal everything but I just want to encourage us that the healing work that must be done in all of us in order to be in tune with our most alive Mind cells, it doesn't have to be rushed, it can really be slow, it can really be intentional, it's okay for you to put one of those jugs down and just focus on the one, it's okay. For you to just sit, after having a tower moment, sometimes it's okay for you to just sit and that water and just bathe yourself. That's the word that's been very resonant with me lately, is taking care of myself as being able to attend to myself. And so, yes, while the star is about, you know, that hope and tomorrow, and, you know, being seen and visible for having survived something that was so difficult for having survived, which should have been, you're in what should have broken you wish should have devastated you to the point where you didn't want, where you didn't want to live where you don't want to keep going. And yet, beloved, you're still here. And so in that, I hope that you find joy and encouragement from the star car, to remind you that what you have come through may have been difficult. So it's important to be overly compassionate with yourself, it's important to rest in the recuperation phase. It's okay if you need to put one of your jars down. And it's important to know that maybe you shine bright like a diamond. And we know that diamonds are pressurized is the pressure that makes them shot now. Oh, no, that's like scientifically correct. But it works for the analogy. As we just have to take a deep breath, and I hope that this has been beneficial for you. And this, I had some more but I really think that that's the major word for us to take today. Sometimes we need to just pour flicked and just be and allow the star to encourage us that we are worthy that we are here that that wish try to stop us has only been able to propel us that whatever tried to destroy us in the tower and thought that maybe we might be buried under the rubble, actually, is what propelled us and cast us forth into the sky. We are the stars. And now we are the constant lates and now we shine light up the sky. There's a song that I know from church that says about Jesus death cannot hold you down. And so I turn and I say to you that whatever your traumas are difficult that you the horrors of your life, or maybe just even the inconveniences of your day. They cannot hold you down because baby You are a star
