Word of Wisdom: Feminine
Feminine card represents nurturing, receptivity, and the embodiment of the feminine energy. It suggests that the querent should embrace their feminine energy and allow themselves to be receptive and nurturing.
This card encourages the querent to tap into their feminine qualities, such as intuition, compassion, and grace, and to allow these qualities to guide them.
The feminine card also symbolizes balance, unity, and the power of the feminine. Embrace your feminine energy, trust your intuition, and allow yourself to be nurtured and cared for.
I chose this card because as a single mother and career woman I had to learn to put my feminine side on the back burner and bring my masculine side to the front. I often said
"It was easy being a mother, I just put one foot in front of the other,
it came natural.
Being a father is hard work, it's so foreign to me."
I set about changing my priorities from nurturing caregiver to provider.

I remember the relief I felt when my last child completed university. I thought ok now its time to get back to me. My job of providing for my family is done. I can let go of that masculine part of me and re-connect with my feminine side.
Where do I start? It's been so long I barely remember what it was like living in my feminine energy. My feminine energy was blocked.
15 Signs Feminine Energy Could be Blocked:
Overly analitical, more logicial less intuition
Your disconnected to your creativity
It's hard for you to express love
You suppress your emotions
You are overly critical of yourself, judgemental
You think you can control your life
You lack joy
You feel exhausted and overwhelmed with stress
You are super independent
You can do it all yourself, there has never been anyone there to help
Self care and pampering is a waste of time
You think life is a struggle always having to prove yourself
You are disconnected from yourself, your emotions, from others and nature
You think beauty is shallow
You respect masculine energy more then feminine
I am sure if I received this feminine card at the time my energy was very blocked I would have thought. What the heck does that mean? I was very disconnected and out of balance with my feminine energy. So now what? How do I get back into balance?
