Full Reading: Expansion, Space and Commitment

 

First of all, the Expansion card flew out pretty swiftly to make a bold statement. Rightly so, since Jupiter moved into Gemini last weekend (where it will stay until June 9th, 2025), amplifying the expansive energies and calling forward a multitude of opportunities for growth. The question is, are we in a place to receive them? 

 

For new energy to enter our lives, we need to create the space for it to flow in. And for our deepest desires to present themselves as opportunities, we need to be in a state of believing we are truly worthy of them, certain of their alignment with our true purpose and committed to seeing them through, no matter what challenges we face along the way. It’s a time of doing, and as we are being called to action and continuously awakened to our purpose, we want to be making sure our intentions are pure and of the deepest, most loving kind. 

 

After all, we reap what we sow!

 

It can be easy to get caught up in the quick-paced energy of Gemini, there are so many exciting things to be done, so many ideas to think up, things to create… but are we holding space for being? You’ll notice on the opposite side to the Expansion card lies the Depth of the Lake. These energies show us the polarities we can tap into to maintain balance.

 

In order to reach the heights of the expansive skies, we must first dive down deep into ourselves. 

 

Are there subconscious fears from past conditioning ruling our minds and pulling us into a state of lack? Are there impulsive thoughts creating actions stemmed from fear and control rather than a surrender to what is and will be, regardless of our personal desires? 

​

In Gemini’s duality, the strength of the ego can be a force to be reckoned with. Be careful to notice where you might be comparing yourself with others. Sometimes, the images presented to us of other people’s lives, journeys, successes & failures can bring about a sense of lack or false ego-centred validation in ourselves. It can bring up feelings of unworthiness, or perhaps insecurity masked as a false sense of superiority. 

 

Remember, everybody is walking their own path, in their own way, at their own pace and honestly there’s nothing we can do but accept it. We must have true faith in our own way to find joy in the surrender to it. Otherwise, we’ll simply create more and more resistance and bring about our own suffering within it.  

 

So how do we work with this? We can call on the Solidity energy, the centre card of the Inner Core, bringing balance between the depths and the heights of our consciousness. The Source of life that lies beneath our personal identity. The deep, inner silence that we simply must honour and create space for at any possible moment, however small that moment might be. This is how we reach the serene quality of mind that true joy can arise from. Then, we can bring a new energy to our external world.
