It's close enough to September that we're pulling our spread a little early.
Theme: 7 of Cups. Choices can get overwhelming fast. In your imagination taking you down roads that aren't actually there doesn't help. It's hard to make a choice when you have anxiety over what the possibilities are and what you don't know. But you need to make sure you trust your instincts and use your intuition to decide. Be honest with yourself about what the options actually are and what you truly desire.
Focus: 3 of Pentacles: Teamwork Makes the Dream work! You do not have to do things alone, there are capable people around you that can help build. Just because you've been independent so far and you're used to doing it that way doesn't mean it's the only way how to do things. Lighten up, bro.
Release: Knight of Cups: I've heard other tarot readers refer to this card as the Joey Tribbiani of Tarot and that's always stuck with me. This guy is full of romance for everyone that steps in his path. Not to say he's not genuine, because he definitely feels everything he says he feels. He just also feels it for the next person and the next person and the next person. With this being in the release section it's more about releasing your idea of how things should occur. We have Society, books, social media, other entertainment all telling us how and when love will happen but the thing about life is, it doesn't conform. It'll happen when it happens and in just the right way.
Mantras for this month:
I choose reality over fantasy, participation over waiting, and reciprocity over pursuit.
I don't need to know what comes next. I trust what is real and what is present.
I build with people who build with me. I don't have to build everything alone.
I do not need to chase love, predict it, or prove that it is coming.
I trust that what is meant for me will reveal itself to reality, reciprocity and action. I release the fantasy and remain open to the real.
