The Empress represents Mother Nature.  She offers limitless opportunities to experience the rich and abundant world we share.  The Empress reminds us to say yes to life.  Have an open mind and an open heart.  Find excitement and joy in starting new endeavors.  Take an adventure outside.  Connect with nature.  Take pleasure in all of the things that bless your everyday life.  Pamper yourself and enjoy simple comforts.  Tap into your feminine energy and your receptivity to the world around you.  Take time to nurture others and yourself.  Do something sweet for someone you care about.  Approach the world with soft motherly care.

Tap into the natural world as a source of energy, guidance, and healing.  Honor Mother Earth as a living, breathing entity, and recognize that we are privileged to be here as her guests.  Find ways to honor nature each day by recycling, using environmentally friendly products, trying organic products, growing your own food, or cleaning up natural habitats.  By recognizing and appreciating your connection with nature, the Animal Kingdom, and Mother Earth, you align yourself with the universe and the essence of  your soul.

Tarot for Self-Care: The Fool

         

 

Trust the universe

Begin spontaneously

Journey with laughter

The Fool signals that it is time to step outside your comfort zone.  Say yes.  Be spontaneous.  Take a leap of faith.  Trust that the universe will provide everything you need.  Dare to dream big and achieve your goals.  Every new beginning starts with the first step.  So don't wait, take that first step right now!  Be young, free, and open-minded.  Enjoy light-hearted fun, good humor, and laughter.  See the positive aspects of any situation.  Have a can-do attitude.  Try something fresh and new.  Learn all that you can learn.  It is okay to feel foolish and make mistakes so do not be afraid to try something different and expand your horizons.  Anything is possible.  There is no place for boredom now because the whole world is yours to explore.

The Fool's dog reminds you to look before you leap.  Take a look at where you are headed.  Be aware of your surroundings and the impact you make.  Be aware of your actions and how they affect others.  Stay loyal to the people and places who helped you start your journey.  Take care of animals and the environment.  Be aware of your intentions and your biases.  Remember that as a human, you are part of the animal kingdom.  On your journey you will gain much wisdom from the civilized world.  But your primal, animal instincts will always be a part of you and they too serve a source of wisdom throughout your life.
