Cycle 04: week of May 17-23

Hello, how are you?

Happy Taurus New Moon! I'm not an astrology expert, but I do love keeping up with the astrological climate and seeing what it brings for the coming months. I've read that the energy coming with this New Moon will bring quite a lot of positive changes for everyone. I hope that's the case for you and that in the coming months you enjoy seeing how they manifest.

Now, let me share what the Tarot reveals about the days ahead:

General energy: Two of Cups.

This week brings an energy of connection, emotional integration, and reciprocity. The Two of Cups speaks of meaningful encounters—not only in the romantic realm, but also in how you relate to yourself, your emotions, and the people who are part of your life.

This card represents the union of opposites and the possibility of finding balance between emotions, thoughts, or parts of yourself that previously seemed to be in conflict. Rather than rejecting certain emotions or trying to control what you feel, it invites you to acknowledge the fullness of your emotional experience and allow space for all your parts.

This may be a week when you become more aware of how you form bonds, what kind of connections you're building, and where you're coming from when you choose to share yourself with others. It also speaks of agreements, conversations, and relationships that begin to strengthen through honesty, mutual understanding, and emotional authenticity.

This energy reminds us of the importance of creating bonds where reciprocity, presence, and emotional openness exist. What kind of connection are you cultivating with yourself and with those around you? Do your relationships allow you to feel seen, supported, and authentic?

Possible blocks: Ace of Pentacles.

The Ace of Pentacles here speaks of a lack of grounding, difficulty sustaining a long-term vision, or fear of not having enough. It can manifest as constant worry about stability, a sense of scarcity, difficulty trusting the process, or a tendency to make decisions from fear rather than clarity.

This card can also point to opportunities that fail to take hold due to a lack of structure, organization, or presence. Sometimes ideas exist, but it's hard to ground them or build solid foundations so they can truly grow.

Once again, this energy can show up in how you relate to money, work, your projects, or even yourself. Where are you building from? From trust or from the need to control the outcome?

The Ace of Pentacles reminds us that not everything is resolved through urgency. Part of the process also involves learning to sustain what you wish to build with patience, intention, and real commitment to your vision.

Your internal tool: The Lovers.

The Lovers speak of what resonates deeply with your heart. This card represents conscious choices, authenticity, and the ability to choose based on your values rather than on fear, habit, or external validation.

There's a very strong energy of self-knowledge and emotional clarity available to you. This card invites you to ask yourself what feels truly aligned with you and what connections, projects, or decisions reflect the person you're being today.

The Lovers also speak of the union of opposites and the integration of parts of yourself that perhaps you previously rejected. Part of growth consists of recognizing that you don't need to divide yourself to be accepted, but rather to learn to inhabit yourself more fully and honestly.

In the realm of relationships, this card reminds us that we often heal through our bonds as well. Authentic connections can become spaces of growth, expansion, and mutual understanding when they're built on emotional sincerity and shared values.

This energy favors aligned decisions, conversations, and new ways of relating from authenticity. It's not about choosing what's most comfortable, but rather what truly feels right for you and the life you wish to build.

Weekly closing

Remember that building healthy relationships also involves learning to see yourself honestly. Not every bond is meant to be sustained through perfection, but rather through authenticity, reciprocity, and presence.

Potential: opening yourself to more honest connections and building bonds aligned with your values and your current reality.

Priority: making conscious decisions from authenticity rather than from fear, scarcity, or the need for validation.

Watch out for: acting from urgency, disconnecting from your true needs, or trying to build something without solid foundations that can truly support you.

Thank you for reading, see you next week.
