Your roots run deep—through ancestry, family traditions, and the community where you've chosen to plant yourself. The Tree speaks to your source of strength and growth, the foundational stability that has allowed you to extend branches of support to others. You've become the reliable one, the steady presence that others lean on. But like any tree, your strength comes from a delicate balance between deep roots and sturdy, extending branches. Under the waning gibbous moon of the Masquerade card, this is a good time to adjust & improve what lies hidden in your busy mind. An inner mental landscape portraying a story of self-doubt and fraudulence that betrays the calm countenance you show the world. The mask you wear is born from spreading yourself too thin, trying to be everything to everyone while feeling caught between guilt and being true to yourself. Have you been putting off your own pleasure or vision out of loyalty to "the tree"—the family expectations, community obligations, and ancestral patterns that demand you remain the stable or capable one? This overextension threatens your mental stability. Whose voice is broadcasting that guilt? Where did this habit of self-doubt originate? The High Priestess, which governs your inner world of unconscious yearnings & moods, calls for stillness & reflection—to strengthen your own roots before extending more branches.  This is not the time for action or explanation—it's time to say nothing as you tend to your own needs. You're standing in a liminal space, trying to balance your own stability with the impulse to extend branches of help to others. Listen to your inner knowing about when you're doing too much and when to rest. Do much less, listen more—especially to what your inner life is trying to tell you. The tree that tends to its roots first will have the strongest branches to offer others when the season is right.
