Endless Summer Tarot Spread

This month’s spread is meant to ground us more firmly in the season we’re in while accepting and reveling in a few cloudy days

Too many times I’ve felt rushed out of Summer to make way for *Spooky Season*, and I know I’m not alone. There’s also been years I get caught up in the cozy call of Autumn and curse those last lingering hot days of September, willing the leaves to fall by wearing clothes too warm for the weather. This year, I want to recognize each final day and enjoy it for what it is.

Right in our hands, the algorithm is full of people willing pumpkin spice to appear in their morning coffee, and Gilmore Girls clips so much Gilmore Girls. We’ve shifted the cycle of the seasons 4-6 weeks up all year long for the benefit of being sold to and it leaves us feels disconnected from the season we’re in and falsely frantic to not fall behind.

While reflecting, I’ve been thinking about the three of cups, of socializing and celebrating - what the Summer months are made for; my city still has its biggest summer music festival still yet to come, and my own family Summer vacation is not happening until next week. I also think of the sun card, of beautiful days where we’re most at peace. Of course I’m very excited for Fall, it’s one of my favourite times of the year, but I’m not painting over the last days of Summer to get there. It will come all on it’s own.
