What lesson is the Universe asking you to receive right now?
Green Man/Synergy & The Tower
It seems you've forgotten that you're as important a part of nature as the Sun in the sky; that you're connected with life's flow, entangled in a wonderful Synergy. Your presence here is meaningful and important. Do you realize how deep your connection with Mother Earth actually goes? The Universal flow is within you, just as you are, at the same time, within the flow itself. The Universe works to guide you in the right direction. At times, the ways in which it guides you can look more like upheaval, than a guiding push.
This situation or event may have recently happened, is presently happening, or about to happen. It causes you to ask new, big questions, and even to evaluate your life. For many, it takes a big sudden change to shift awareness and see reality as it truly is. It can at times feel like the end of the world; like the ground has crumbled beneath your feet, and you no longer know which way is up.
The Green Man appears as a reminder that there’s a natural flow to everything. The Universe always aligns for our highest good, though at the time it can feel the opposite. These changes can cause uncertainty and even be anxiety-inducing.
What if you gave into the Synergy, the flow of it all, rather than fight for control? It appears that lots of suffering has already been caused by your resistance. It’s time to suspend any skepticism, and give into trusting that the Universe aligns always for your highest good. Have faith that Spirit is with you, offering protection and guidance.
It will later be clear how this situation/event was necessary in your journey and for your Soul growth. The Tower's event/situation breaks things down in your life which no longer serve you, in order for you to build back up a life which more aligns with your own energy and desires. What can seem like destruction at the time, is actually an act of liberation.
Crystal: Hematite has a protective quality. It deflects negative energy, and works to center you in uncertain or chaotic times.
PILE B

Tree/Grounding & 9 of Pentacles
You've become disconnected from your body, which is disconnecting you from the Earth itself. Mental energies are up in space, and your thoughts are scattered. You enjoy getting caught up in daydreams. You may even find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning, because you want to keep dreaming. This high chakra dominant energy can cause you to eventually lose touch of reality altogether, when this is not balanced with regular grounding practices.
Grounding your energy is easy, and takes you only a minute or two a day when you get real good at it! The simplest way to do so is to pick a spot outdoors and stand or sit with your bare feet in the grass or sand. Envision yourself as a tree, rooting deep within the Earth's soil and bedrock. Allow your awareness to be pulled into the present moment, at one with your surroundings. Feel the energy from Mother Earth merging with yours.
You can make grounding a group activity, with a tree partner! Sit with your chosen tree, and gaze upon it, connecting with it's energy. Share your own energy, and open yourself up to receiving. Get in touch with it's Spirit, and listen to the feelings that come up within you and your awareness.
Another deeply effective technique for grounding your energy is this: Envision a solid, unbreakable cord extending down from your root chakra. Imagine this cord as the Universe's toughest material, burrowing deeper and deeper into the Earth, down the the deepest layers of bedrock. See it in your mind's eye anchoring there, keeping your energy rooted securely. This technique can have the most long-lasting effects.
Grounding is an act of self care, and helps you to further gain awareness of your own needs. Try implementing a new self care activity in your routine, based on what your inner voice is telling you that you want/need. What can you do for yourself that makes you feel good, and is good for you, which brings you into the present moment? Things like a bath/shower, a nice walk outdoors, grooming and pampering yourself, sitting outdoors in a nice place, cleaning your home, meditating, stretching/yoga. Make the time for yourself. Self discipline is also an act of self care. Know when to say no or cut yourself off. And always be kind to yourself as you are to others!
Crystal: Red Jasper is deeply grounding. It also acts as a potent aura cleanser.
PILE C

Eagle/Communion & The Moon
Spirit is calling upon you to spend some one-on-one time with your shadow, your unconscious mind. Now is the time to start building a stronger awareness of your thinking patterns, and how they contribute to more negative feelings, such as anxiety, jealousy, and fear.
Begin by practicing mindfulness and reality checks. Tune into both your physical and emotional conditions. Open up your senses and perception. Listen to them, without attachments or judgements. Allow yourself to be alert to any self-deceptions, as well. Do you happen to ruminate, or to go over situations which you have no proof of potentially coming true in the first place? Your imagination is very strong, and it's being channeled in a way which presently works against you...
Give more of you attention to your triggers, insecurities, impulses, and fears. Do your best to be open to uncovering where their source may be. This will help you locate areas of yourself that need love, support, and attention.
It's helpful to journal this process. If you notice a behavior, judgement, or thought you don't like, write it down to reflect on. Accept it, ask yourself why you reacted or felt that way, then dig deeper.
When you shine a light on your shadow, the smaller it gets.
Please note: if you have experienced extreme trauma, please explore your shadow with the support of a mental health care professional.
Crystal: Amethyst promotes the integration of the unconscious mind with the conscious mind.

Music/ Harmony & 6 of Pentacles
There is a harmonious song to everything in the Universe; all energies, all beings, flow together at their best when they're working together. When the song is no longer in harmony, how can you restore balance? This is your present lesson-- to take action in creating harmony in your life.
It's a challenge to maintain your own inner harmony when there’s dissonance and chaos around you. Often, it's easier to give in and match the chaos or lower vibration, than to have the awareness of what you're energy is entangled in. If this sounds like you right now, bring your focus toward nurturing your inner harmony:
Prioritize your responsibilities
Make a gratitude journal
Take care of your nutrition and physical self
Take a tech break
Get enough sleep
And do more of what makes you feel happy, safe, and inspired.
If you're presently in need of support, please reach out. There is someone that wants to help you, they can sense disharmony in your energy. But, you must be willing and open to receive.
If you're feeling like your energy is well balanced and in harmony, then you're being called upon by Spirit to help bring harmony into the world around you. Where do you feel your time and energy is needed? Is there a cause you feel passionate about? You may decide to volunteer in your community, or help to spread the word about important causes, such as social justice or climate change. Get yourself out there and inspire others! Share where and when you can. It's true that even the littlest effort can have a positive impact on the collective. It's okay to start small!
Lastly, The Universe is asking you to notice what is good around you, even if it all seems bad. Take slow, deep breaths, and release any tense or unhelpful energies. Then, take a few more slow breaths, and begin to notice the good things, not matter how small or seemingly pointless. This helps you to match energy with higher vibrations, moving yourself back into balance and harmony.
Crystal: Green Aventurine is a calming, harmonizing stone, helping you to achieve the right balance in your life and energies.
