With any card, you have to ask yourself: is this energy helping or hurting? I've written out my interpretation for both scenarios.
1. Rose Quartz 🌹✨
👑QUEEN
Helping:
If you've been feeling more like a servant than a Queen, then it's time to focus on being as confident, secure, and direct as you can right now, because self-doubt is not helping you. If you're always making time for others but not for yourself, then the Queen says it's time to be firm and to look out for number one. Remember to set and enforce healthy boundaries and carry yourself with confidence (even if you're faking it).
Hurting:
If you've been a bit self-absorbed lately, then it's time to temper that. The Queen's energy, in excess, can be arrogant, dramatic, and fake. The illusion of a Queen being all-knowing and all-powerful also gets very tiring to keep up, so if you've been performing that act for others, let it go. You don't have to know everything or pretend everything is under control. It's more than okay to be humble and ask for help if you're feeling overwhelmed.
2. Tree Agate 🌳🌎
⚗️ALCHEMIST
Helping:
You may be frustrated that you don't have what you need right now. You may be strapped financially, emotionally, or physically. The Alchemist says to focus on what you do have, and try to find a way to turn lemons into lemonade. Take an objective look at what you've got to work with and where you want to be, and think about how you can get there with what you have now. Life can be s**tty, but if you were drawn to this card, it's time to do a 180 with your thinking.
Hurting:
You can only deceive yourself and others for so long, and if you keep pretending things are okay, everything will blow up in your face. You may have been trying to convince everyone (including yourself) that s**t is actually gold lately, but there is a difference between positive thinking and delusion. Be honest with yourself and others about your current situation - don't promise or expect the moon, and stay grounded in reality!
3. Blue Kyanite 🙇🏻☄️
🙏🏻MONK/NUN
Helping:
If you were drawn to this card, it really is time to take a step back and reflect. It's important for you right now to withdraw from the world for a while and spend more time alone than usual. You may be experiencing a spiritual or emotional upheaval, so the Monk/Nun suggests taking some time to be alone, meditate, and get in touch with your feelings to help you through this block. Lay low, turn your phone on silent, and look within (and without, if you want to ask your ancestors or deities for guidance).
Hurting:
If you've been spending too much time alone, then the Monk/Nun says it's time to come back to the world. Alone-time and quiet are definitely important, but moderation is key. As human beings with physical bodies, it's important for us to live in the world and be a part of it, so don't neglect your physical health, your responsibilities, or your social life for too long. You can grow a lot spiritually in hermit-mode, but you still need to leave your house (and your shell) to be fulfilled.
