The Tarot Death card can provoke fear or worry, but its message is actually the opposite. It is a card of transformation and transmutation.

Wonder where the day went? What can you do when the grip of time takes hold of you? Pause. Breathe. Be in the moment—the power of presence.

Here on Earth, the slower pace of summer is beginning to let itself be known, and the cosmos are behaving accordingly. With Mercury Retrograde underway, and a total lunar eclipse occurring May 15-16th, you are feeling the pull to slow down and take life one day and one moment at a time. (And if you’re not quite feeling this way yet, don’t worry—you will.)

Being uncertain where to focus your energy to best serve yourself and others is part of being human. The easiest place to find peace is in nature.

Consciously make choices to be a positive force for healing and good in the face of pain and destruction.
