Are you crossing a bridge right now, too?

A seemingly endless bridge, shrouded in fog and mist, one that can’t take you back to where you came from, but also cannot offer answers as to where you’re going?

Most of the folks I know (myself included) and/or am working with have been moving through this kind of experience lately: namely, a transitional season. A moment in life when we are en route, in flux, in process. A very limimal moment in time when nothing is quite “it,” or quite right. This moment isn’t quite it. Neither is the past. The future that lies ahead is inscrutable. Yet, we move forward. We build that bridge as we cross it, and spiral ever closer to the thing that’s calling us on.

Transitional seasons of life require a tremendous amount of inner courage.

To leave the familiar and set out to the unknown, following the scant call, whisper, or pulse toward something utterly mysterious, with the hopes of greater alignment for our entire being takes our whole guts, our whole heart. It requires curiosity, and a deep imagination. It is an utterly non-linear process, one that we follow and mark in breaths, heartbeats, and proverbial planks of wood on our bridge.

I’m currently in a transitional season that is really weighing on my spirit. My tank of guts and heart is dwindling.

My book is written and my Soul Tarot deck is created, but it’s not time to speak about them yet. I’m slowly retiring all of my Soul Tarot courses because I feel really sure that it’s time for them to be composted, to become fertilizer to nourish new things. But what are these new things? There’s the book and the deck, to be sure, and there are the wisps of possibilities, none of which seem to want to come into form yet. It is a challenging place to be, but a place where the Tarot can be of enormous use to us.

In this piece, I’m going to outline several Anchor Cards for Transitional seasons, and offer some gentle spreads and prompts to lean into them when we need it most. May they be of service to you.
