((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Have you noticed people feeling out of sorts? Are you spoiling for a fight? Do you feel edgy for no particular reason you can name? 

It’s not just you.

I do not need to tell you about the difficulty loose in the world; you are on the internet already, you cannot have missed it. Even if you “aren’t political” you are really feeling that everyday wear in the energy around you, and it is exhausting. 

“If you can’t play nice, don’t play at all.”

Do yourself a favor: do not give in to your lesser angels. Channel the energy constructively where you can, and where you cannot, absent yourself. ((NOTE: You may feel a strong desire to withdraw entirely – this is NOT The Hermit! Seek your equilibrium rather than total avoidance.))

PRACTICAL MAGIC TIP:  Expecting guests? Worried about people getting along? Set a small table at your entryway with a white centerpiece (white flowers, white ribbon, white candle). Light the candle just before your guests are set to arrive, creating a positive energy screen and purifying the space. As your visitors arrive, their energy will be cleansed. Enjoy! (NOTE: For extra delight, serve vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and cream – vanilla creates feelings of comfort and strawberries encourage love.)
