TODAY'S CARD
THE LOVERS
VI
|
|
|
the lovers is the card of being truly seen, and it lands on a saturday in november, when the house is quiet enough that you notice who you have not talked to in a while.
most people hear this card's name and think of romance. it is wider than that. it is about the connections where you can be entirely yourself, and the choice to keep showing up for them.
this comes up often. a woman with a full contacts list realises there are only one or two people left who knew her before she became everyone's mother, or everyone's manager. those people hold a version of her nobody else remembers.
being seen like that is rare, and it tends to fade if nobody tends it. the card is gentle about this. a friendship that has gone quiet is usually waiting, not over.

what is worth leaning into today: reaching out to one person who knew you young. a message with an old photo, or a memory only the two of you share.
what is worth staying away from: assuming they have moved on because they have not called. they may be telling themselves the same thing about you.
my advice for today: send one message today that begins, i was just thinking about the time we. you can finish it however you like.

|
who still knows the version of you from before. tell me how you met, if you like.

The Founding Fathers Had A Soundtrack
George Washington heard it.
Benjamin Franklin heard it.
For over 300 years, this was locked inside private ceremonies performed by some of the most powerful men in history.
No outsider had ever witnessed it.
Until one man… a member for twenty years… broke his oath of silence and captured it.
This isn’t a modern creation.
Nobody "designed" this in a lab.
It comes from a living tradition that predates the founding of America.
Passed down through generations behind closed doors.
The man who recorded it says he felt the effects in his bones the first time he heard it. Goosebumps.
A sense that something ancient had just woken up inside him.
He’s now sharing it publicly for the first time.
The men who guard this tradition are not pleased.
But he believes it’s too powerful to keep hidden while good people are struggling.
P.S. He’s an accountant, not a guru. That’s part of why I trust him.

/ a story
the friend who still calls her by her old name
|
|
this comes up often. two women who met at nineteen, lived in each other's kitchens for a decade, and then drifted. marriages, moves and careers pulled in different directions, until the friendship was a card at christmas and not much else.
the six of cups. the memory. this card carries the past held with affection. for her it means the shared history is still there even though nobody has used it lately. it can be picked up again.
the ten of wands. the load. this card is about carrying a lot for a long time. for her it means the drift had more to do with full years than with fading love. there was simply no room left in the day.
the king of wands. the first move. this card carries the person who acts. for her it means someone has to go first, and the one who does is usually glad. a phone call on a saturday morning turned into two hours, and a plan to meet before the end of the year.
if this sounds like you, the friend you are thinking of may be easier to reach than the years make it seem.

tell me about the friend who knew you before. one memory is enough.
