March Mayhem Tarot Spread
This whole year has felt like a complete fever dream!
One of the ways I’m keeping sane is reading tarot, and I came up with this fun little spread to try to make sense of some of the energy of March. Which, astrologically speaking one of the craziest months of the year!
Mars went direct after about six months in retrograde in Cancer. But nearly a day later Venus went retrograde. We have our first Lunar Eclipse in the shifting axis which was a Full Moon eclipse in Virgo. Eclipse shift signs every 18 months or so.
This shift isn't random. It signifies a profound transition in the collective and personal energies we experience. When the eclipse axis moves, it activates different areas of our lives, reflecting the unique qualities of the signs involved.
Lunar eclipses represent our emotions and often the things that we are grappling with that are more private, or unseen.
While the sun, or solar eclipses can represent a "new moon" on steroids, a time of powerful new beginnings and a reset of solar (ego, will) energy.
And if that wasn’t enough we have two other major transits, Mercury Retrograde, and Neptune moving into Aries for the first time in 168 years!
Like, can the universe just chill for five minutes and let me finish my tea? SMH.
The astrology has been so dramatic.
So, naturally, I did what any self-respecting millennial would do: I pulled some cards.
Because when the universe is screaming in astrological jargon, you need a good tarot spread to translate. I call this one the 'March Mayhem Survival Guide,' and it's designed to help us navigate this cosmic rollercoaster without losing our minds.
Here’s how it works, and yes it makes a pentagram.
Card 1 (Bottom Left): 'What archetypal themes will I be working with?’
This is where we dive into the core energies at play. Basically, what character am I channeling this month?
Card 2 (Top Right): 'What energy is supporting me through this chaos?'
Idk about you but I always want to know who my cosmic cheerleader is.
Card 3 (Bottom Right): 'What do I need to let go of during Venus retrograde?’
Is it a doozy? Probably. But we can do hard things.
Card 4 (Middle Left): 'What was revealed during the lunar eclipse?’
What emotional skeletons came dancing out of the closet?
Card 5 (Middle Right): 'What is Neptune in Aries here to teach me?’
Basically, what cosmic lesson is Neptune throwing at me while it's wearing its Aries party hat? What wild ride is this transit taking me on?
I highly recommend using this spread in combination with both your astrological birth chart, and your transit chart for the next year.
My favorite place to find your birth chart and transit chart is at astroseek.com
I hope this spread helps us all embrace the chaos, find the humor in the absurdity, and remember that even in the midst of a dumpster fire, we can still find a spark of magic.
What are your thoughts on this spread? Do you want to see my pulls?
