There is no way this is a coincidence... this exact card - I pulled on the exact day you posted - in the most internal fire/body shaking/alarming in my senses/life altercation reading - I experienced EVER.
This rings particularly true : "This queen is made of root and stone, the foundations of all things physical. Because they are so intimately connected with life in the physical realm, they understand pain and grief. They know that life can come with suffering and they offer a unique sort of support in that."
This is my life focus... my Being in Being... my natural-genius knowing that breaches my form daily in and daily out by nights wrought in desires for the waking hours action....
Wow! This gave me chills, Jacob! Big HUGE synchronicity here. Thank you so much for sharing this! 💖 And then this..."my natural-genius knowing that breaches my form daily in and daily out by nights wrought in desires for the waking hours action" So beautiful!
OMG, okay...Yesterday, the same day this post came out I did my Full Moon Tarot reading. And what did I get, the Queen of Pentacles. The position she was in was, "how is the energy moving?" The energy being what is rising in my life, which was the Seven of Cups. To me the 7ofC is visionary. Seeing many options. Which can be both inspirational and overwhelming. The QofP as you wrote here Jenna, is that grounding force. Reminding me that embodied vision is a vision that plausible and doable. And no need to apologize, I am with you all the way. We seem to be moving in similar ways. I actually love that you tied the weeks together.
OMG! Wow! Well, I guess the universe REALLY wants us to hear that message. This morning, I really committed to my daily, action steps (In case it is me, I don't want to be the guy holding up the show again next week, so I'm all in this week. 😆) and during morning devotional, I thought of you and your morning movement. As I channeled the Queen of Pentacles, it became so clear that the action steps for me are all about that grounding, embodied place. ❤️
Such a perfect message for me this week Jenna. I definitely have too many visions on the go! Sometimes they are so big that it feels impossible to break them down. The perfect energies for me to work with. Thank you!
Oh man! What a perfect week for the visionary to come up! Tomorrow I am launching an experiment, a trial of concept of a mini-retreat for emotional and spiritual healing for healthcare workers. I feel like this has legs, but we'll see tomorrow. In fact, I'm just about to cook some of the food I'll be serving to nourish these intrepid souls. And on Tuesday, here on Substack, I'm sharing an idea for another experiment, an online/hybrid ceremony for closure regarding COVID. I fancy myself a visionary, but definitely see the light and dark sides of her in me! Also, can you find me a Queen of Pentacles IRL? :)
😂 I SO want a Queen of Pentacles IRL too! ❤️ Oh my gosh, Amy, your retreat sounds amazing! You are the Queen of Pentacles for all those attendees (and also the Visionary of course). I bet it was such a huge benefit for them. Healthcare workers really need their spirits tended. Thank you for that incredible work in the world! And how beautiful to do a closure ceremony for covid. I'll be looking out for that one tomorrow!
"Here I see the Visionary wandering around the castle grounds in an erratic state, bombarded by too many visions, unable to focus on just one, much less bring it into reality. Swept up in this state of chaos, they have lost the ability to know what to do next.
But then the Queen of Pentacles takes the Visionary gently by the hand and guides them into the inner castle, offering them a cup of grounding tea (probably some cookies too). Maybe they do some gentle movement together to get the Visionary’s energy back into their body.
Once the Visionary is fully embodied again, the Queen tells them which vision is most important at this time and then hands over the tools and instructions for manifesting it."
This is a wonderful mirror of the work I did with somatic intuitive healer Jessica Garay this week.
My Inner Work right now is focused on breaking the attachment I'm carrying to getting all the things done. All at once would be best, according to my ego :). I'm frequently irritable and stressed at home, I struggle to relax and be present, I struggle to parse what to do next and when. It's a black hole of productivity - there is never enough giving on my part within this paradigm. Living this way is unsustainable for my body; I'm stuck in the boom-bust cycle that thespooniementor illustrates so well here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C66uYBoPO13/?img_index=3. I'm doing a year-long training in somatic intuitive healing with Jessica and I can see that I'm not going to be able to hold presence and offer healing to others in the way I feel called if I remain caught in this web.
In my session with Jessica on Thursday I started with a description of the ways I am wrapped up in my attachment to productivity. How I struggle to parse which to-do list items to do each day, how I go and go and go without any breaks for self-care, how I'm crashing almost every day by the time I'm making dinner. I see a lot of the Visionary archetype in my persona, but right now I'm living much of my life in the Visionary shadow.
After we'd talked this through a bit I was starting to feel a buzzing anxiety, I was really in my head about it, and we started to move into the somatics. She didn't take my hand and give me cookies, but Jessica did move me back into my body. She allowed me to move up up up into that buzzy frenetic headspace, and then she supported me in moving down down down into my body.
And I got to see for myself that the up up up (Visionary weighted down in the shadow) is tight, rigid, narrow, full of must and should and have to. And the down down down embodied (Visionary beaming with light) is relaxed, expansive, and full of trust.
I was able to understand that when I'm Visionary in the light, I know and feel that I have choices. When I don't feel or think that I have choices, I'm in the shadow. That's what the Queen of Pentacles taught me this week about how to live out my fullest potential as the Visionary.
Move/act/do from a place of choice. If the choice isn't there initially, slow down and find it first. That's how I'm going to try to detach my neural pathways from this attachment to productivity that has been consuming my life of late.
Wow, Jenna, this is incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this. I didn't know about the Boom-Bust cycle, but that describes me exactly. When I'm having a "good day" I tell myself the story that now I have to make up for all the time "wasted" in crash days and get through three days of work (or more) in one day. Usually fueled by way too much caffeine too. Now that you've helped me name that, I can see it looks a lot more like sabotage than real productivity. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love that Jessica was your real-world Queen of Pentacles! What she taught you (and then me, through you) about that shift from "full of must" to "full of trust" by being EMBODIED is priceless. Really amazing, thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been looking to get / stay in that space that is “full of trust“. I can get there while sitting and cultivating it, but as soon as I stand up and life is in my face, it’s gone. I know I can’t to-do list my way to it, but that and perseverance / “work till it’s done” has been the modus operandi that has worked for me.
I think I know what you mean! I've said many times - "I can't be meditating all the time, but it feels like that's the only way I can make it through the day feeling good and not overextending myself".
I'm working 1-to-1 with Caroline of Eat Hike Love - https://eathikelove.com/trail-map - she's helping me scale back my expectations of myself in a given day. It's *hard* work for me, really some of the hardest that I've done so far, but I am starting to feel more spaciousness than I've had before. I'm so grateful.
This is wonderful! It feels like I keep getting the message that wisdom is in the body. There seems to be such a tendency to ignore that. To get lost in my head. To numb or dissociate from the body's wisdom. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that if I didn't check out or distract myself, and I really connected with what the body is saying, I'd have to choose something different (and at some level that must scare the crap out of me). Thank you for bringing spaciousness into the conversation. I've been really working on my relationship with Time, which has been wonderful, but this feels like a call to put attention on my relationship with Space.
Because we are linked your message is my message. This is exactly what I needed to hear. I need to elevate my energy by engaging my physical body differently and doing so will allow my (as yet unknown) project to unfurl as it should.
A much needed archetype and one I included in my Ancestral Magick Oracle. 👁️🪄❤️

Thank you, Louise! Me too! I definitely see myself in that Visionary wandering around the castle grounds feeling overwhelmed.

The title says Queen of Wands. The writing is about the Queen of Pentacles. I appreciated your descriptions.
Thank you, Shana! I fixed it! 💖
Thank you, Jock! 🤗
