Collective Tarot Forecast August 2023
This month's collective forecast is about calling in the life we want, getting unstuck in the one we have, and releasing the critical voices that may be holding us back.
Focus on what you want, not what you don't.
Whenever possible—be gentle and compassionate with yourselves—remember that 'worrying is praying for the things we don't want to happen.' If we are unsure what we want, this is the time to become aware of that and get a better understanding and clearer picture of what we do want moving forward.
Focus on the mundane for a brighter future.
If you are feeling defeated, bored or restless, consider infusing energy and mindfulness into your daily tasks rather than moving through them mindlessly or wishing for them to be over. Pause, and be present, do them to the best of your ability. Take time to arrange your lunch in a pleasing way before eating it at your desk. Consider how you may improve on even the most mundane tasks, like emails. Consider how you can bring joy into the smallest areas. When I water my plants, I marvel over their growth, remembering which ones were gifted and who they came from. Release yourself from the big picture and focus on the here and now. When you perfect the smaller pieces, they will connect to build a brighter future. Focusing on what's immediately in front of your can be your way forward when feeling stuck.
Release critical voices.
Be aware this month of any critical voices in your world. This may be a partner, family member, friend, or coworker. But it may also be your inner voice holding you back. Try to become aware of this voice, where it's coming from, and how it's impacting you. Awareness is key and the beginning of recognizing that this voice is incorrect. This voice does not know what is best for you; these criticisms come from the perspective of someone else's life experiences and do not apply to you. Even our inner critic is messaging we have internalized from others.
Write the next chapter of your life.
Consider what you have to share with the world and what might be holding you back for fear of judgment. Recognize that the story of your life will only be unique and good if it fully embodies who you are. If you are feeling doubt or uncertainty, try sitting down and writing the next chapter of your story. You will never regret moving towards the things that call to you and that make you feel complete. Let your imagination run wild; your story will move you out of any stagnant energy.
