…While fun and exciting, this is not a time to make large commitments or big decisions.”

Children & Creativity: The Alchemist (Temperance)
From the TOTEM Tarot Deck Booklet: “The Alchemist is art…When the Alchemist emerges in a reading, it’s time to make art. To make gold out of lead. To transmute pain into catharsis. To see the big picture, the seeds of beauty hidden within the pain and struggle, the narrative thread… It’s also a time to create literal art, whether it’s painting, photography, writing or sculpture. This act of expression elevates the mundane to the divine and connects each of us to a broader, larger, and more interconnected multiverse.”
Health & Ancestors: Venus (The Lovers)
From the TOTEM Tarot Deck Booklet: “Venus is an engrossing ad campaign. A memorable tagline. A punchy political slogan. Venus is here to negotiate with you. When she appears in a reading, she whispers: “Who has the power? Who is really in charge?” Appearances can be deceiving. You may not have the power you think . . . or maybe you have more than you believe. It can be hard to remember that there is there is hidden strength in fragility, especially when it is your own.”

My key takeaway
My key takeaway from this reading was that I need to harness more water element; receiving, yin energy; and fox “medicine’s” adaptability, which I’m going to tackle from a variety of vectors, including the use of flower essences! To this end, Liquid Moonlight— our TOTEM Flower Essence made out of jasmine— is going to become a part of my daily flower essence routine!
All TOTEM Flower Essences are 60% off on our Etsy shop right now— and you can get your own bottle of Liquid Moonlight HERE.
