“A Rippling Effect”

June heralds celebrations, get-togethers & being back in touch with family & other relationships. This also means reconnecting with old patterns of behavior you’ve been trying to correct & purge from your life. The dandelions, detoxers of anger from the liver, suggests old themes of “butting heads” may play out again during these festivities. You lead the herd but are not “one of them” - outside their herd mentality. Yet, there's pull to bring you, the black sheep, back into the herd back asleep from being aware of patterns. These events can overwhelm, but you witness only part of the story. How do they affect you emotionally? Are you getting roped back in? The Waker urges noticing the patterns & dynamics at play that have a rippling effect at these events. These are the legacies of patterns that one inherits, to repeat & replay, on & on-and they require a closer, more discriminating look before you come to conclusions or react in your typical way. The Waker suggests while one can notice everything, self-understanding blinds them. Unintegrated head knowledge fails to alchemize into wisdom which is ultimately your responsibility. The dynamic/ situation is not ideal but one must accept the cards that have been dealt & make the most of it. The best way forward, represented by The Guide, a card of learning, aspiration & development, shows your role is to correct mistakes made by those who’ve come before you & set things right. Your progress of self-correction may have a rippling effect for better or for worse. It may ruffle the feathers of those unaware of their own toxic patterns of behavior while some may see it as a key to unlocking their own healing path. Once you’ve made some progress & come out on the others side, you’ll be in a better place to reflect on what you’ve witnessed and hopefully walk away with a greater perspective & understanding of how these legacies of patterns can be corrected.
