The tarot cards are laid out before us for the week of April 3 - 9, 2023, and as per usual, we are here to interpret them according to how their meanings fit into our lives. Are the cards 'one size fits all'? No, not in a quantum universe, as each card is selected by fate. What goes for one person doesn't necessarily work for another, and so, we trust in the tarot to deliver us meaning; the cards thrown are the ones intended to be seen...it can be no other way. It is what it is, as they say.
With this mysterious school of thought, we look at what each card really means and how it applies to our experience. Each of us comes with our expectations, rules, and boundaries; what may seem like a warning to one sign zodiac may be second nature to another. We interpret as we see fit.
This first week of April seems to want us to step back before proceeding, just as a precaution. We are being guided to look inwards for answers and to take our time figuring things out. There is no need for hasty decision-making, although we are not here to take forever doing such a thing, either. Overall, it's an inspiring first week in an inspiring fourth month. We may see April showers, but we know May flowers will soon follow.
