Usually, I draw one tarot or oracle card as a new month begins to stimulate reflection and insight. Given COVID -19 and the huge test it is to all that has meaning in our lives, I decided to do a three card spread for the month of April.

The three questions I posed were:

What can you tell us about the immediate past?

What is happening in the present?

What do we need to know about what is to come?

I also opened a new card deck since it feels we are in such new territory. While usually I draw from only Celtic-themed decks, this one is Denise Linn’s Sacred Traveler Oracle Cards. Most of us love travel, if only vicariously and most of us are seekers or way showers, conscious of the journey of the heart and soul.l. It seemed the right choice.   

The cards I pulled and there general meaning:

Answering the Call - The time is now.

Fellow Travelers - Support is all around you.

Rejuvenating the Rain - Clear the past; heal the present.

I personally believe that all of us answered the call to be born into this critical time of change as a New Earth is being birthed, as huge paradigm changes are being made to save our environment and raise our consciousness. For me, Answering the Call reminds me to be my best self, to be and to offer Love and Light during the dark times we are facing. Preparation through seeking to know ourselves and understand the energies in and around us are what we bring to the current situation. COVID-19 shouts to us that the time is now to make the changes we know are needed and to follow our guidance to places and times we still do not see clearly.

The Fellow Travelers card is a great affirmation that we are in this together, this is a community, a global crisis that touches all of us. We are One and the Universe is making that blatantly clear to us. Kindness, justice and healing must be directed to all. We feel the need and the impact of the support we receive and are challenged to extend that support to others. And it is beautiful to see and experience.

The challenge to the immediate future is to RESET, to Rejuvenate the Rain, literally and figuratively. Emotionally, it’s a time to surface and release our fears and commit to Love over Fear. Politically, it is time to step up and speak up so injustice and manipulation of the weak and less powerful is stopped. Environmentally, it is beyond time to stop corporate greed and time to learn to manage our resources. I could go on, but the general idea is that individually and collectively there is clearing and healing to do and we have been given a wake-up call to do it. The cards I have pulled suggest we are supported as we live up to the challenge.
