Two cards flew out of the deck together today, ‘The Great Mother’ and ‘The Fertile Void’. Both encouraging sincere surrender and deep rest. I’ve noticed that for a large part of the world, we are all sensing a need to slow down and prepare to receive. We are being guided on how to reside in our natural energy, whether that be yang (masculine) or yin (feminine). However this resonates with you, the Collective is being guided towards New Beginnings, and a potency in the air towards a brand new way of living, being and doing.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 ushered you in when you took your first breath and she'll be there when you draw your last. She knows how challenging life on Earth can be. That at times, being human can be painful, lonely, and confusing. That the polarity and separation can be difficult when your soul remembers the oneness of Source. But at the same time, it can be incredibly glorious and sweet. We often see things as either good or bad; when things go well, we make it mean that everything is okay, and when things don't work out, then perhaps we've done something wrong or have something to fix. We've forgotten that life on Earth isn't like that. Polarity is at the core of the Earth experience. And it's through the polar extremes that we grow the most. We're not meant to avoid the night, the shadow, and the winter.

This life is but a single breath in the inextinguishable existence of your experience as a soul. Hand over your worries, hurt, sorrow, fears, and doubts to the Great Mother. Lay them on Her altar. Return to the sureness of the soil. Fall fully into Her arms. Surrender to the mystery woven through it all.

Remember that while these extremes are difficult, they can also be magnificent. That unrestrained joy is closer to grief than we think. And perhaps, the more wildly the pendulum of your life swings, the more you can say; 'I have truly lived.'

I'm ready to embrace the extremes of my life. I lay all that I'm carrying on to the altar and fall into the Great Mother's arms."

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐝, is a very auspicious card. It holds the potent golden seeds of a new beginning and the aftermath of an end. We're called to have patience and enter a state of deep rest, repair, regeneration and acceptance. To let a part of our lives, or even who we once were, metaphorically die in order to seed, sprout, bud, and bloom again. There's often a letting go, a grief or mourning involved. A death of self or what once was. The ending of things that were once important. Relationships, jobs, identities, ways of being. The fertile void asks that we honour endings to begin again. It's a crucial part of growth and new isn't impossible without it. In the card, you can see the golden seed cradled in the dark, fertile womb of the soil. It's easy to mistake this phase of growth as one where nothing much is happening. But beneath the surface of the winter soil, things have never been more active.

Winter is a phase of initiation, renewal, and rebirth. When we're going through a period of inner winter, we experience this too. We metaphorically 'go underground' by coming to a standstill and allowing ourselves to recover and rest. We don't realize it, but this is the most important part of our growth. And it takes faith and surrender to do it.

Trust the sureness of the soil. The New is being woven without you having to micromanage every move. Trust the sureness of the soil. Be cradled by the great mystery. This is a very tender powerful time.
