THE HIGH PRIESTESS – I’m [my] filter
Number two in the tarot’s major arcana, the High Priestess – also called by many the High Priestexx, to reflect the card’s openness to any & all gender identities – is (for me) absolutely an energy that Park Jimin embodies in his work, persona, & way(s) of showing up / being in the world. My advice as a “professional”* tarot reader – if you want to think about the High Priestess in the context of embodiment, and especially as a card that challenges binary oppositions – is ✨simply✨ to do yourself the favor of watching Jimin’s performance of Filter.
Happy Birthday Taehyung!
Happy birthday to our dear Capricorn stellium king, Kim Taehyung / Tete / thv! ARMY, let’s take a moment to express gratitude for how much Tae has fed us this past solar return. Especially recently—from his LA/Hawaii escapades, deleted IG stories, FACIAL HAIR, and of course his tarot reader persona (I’m not over it and never will be)… it’s been great to see him explore/share his individuality, despite the collective difficulties we’re all feeling.
Poppin’ Poppin’ (woah!) Our Way Into Sagittarius Season
Welcome to Sagittarius season, dear ARMYs! We’re moving out of the shadowy, transitional realm of Scorpio and into the season of inspiration and restlessness. Much like our resident Sag Kim Seokjin, Sagittarius energy is quick-witted, adaptable, and optimistic. It moves more quickly than the other signs and urges us to push forward with a belief in the possibilities before us and a thirst for adventure and knowledge. Basically now is the time to be your biggest, baddest, most ridiculous self and trust that the world will respond in kind.
FOUR OF PENTACLES
The 4 of Pentacles (or sometimes Coins) invites us to consider how we create a sense of safety and stability for ourselves in the material world. With the Pentacles being the suit of Earth, we’re thinking about embodiment, resources, what sustains us, how we connect to the physical world and the environment around us.
TWO OF CUPS
Twos in tarot numerology represent duality, union, balance, and partnership. When the Two of Cups comes up for you, it can act as a mirror through which we're invited to embrace and integrate all parts of ourselves. This can happen through another person, where the relationship provides a container for recognition, mutual respect, and love. The relationship flows with ease when you're together. Whether this is your best friend or your soul mate, there is a harmonious balance and reciprocity between you two.
THE FOOL — leap like a bunny
The first word of the story of the Major Arcana, the 0 of the tarot, the promise of a shiny new beginning -- for many, the fool is a card that embodies (and invites us to embody) the clear & direct energy of initiation. In the often-cited /Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom/, Rachel Pollack describes the Fool as "not [being] fixed like the other cards," as the pure vibe in which "no difference exists between possibility and reality," as the mere concept that "every moment is a new starting point" (Pollack 16), and, like, yes to all that.
