Spiritual Coffee: Nurturing Ourselves Through Conflict and Moments of Clarity
a divine brew: vol. 32
Welcome to the first brew of Spiritual Coffee for June.
We’re in the waxing phase of the Moon, a time for building up momentum with any intentions, goals, routines, and rituals you began under the New Moon. It’s a reminder to keep going as la Luna continues to peek, leading to its full self.
We’re officially two weeks into Q2 of Black History Month, and we’re seeing how the cosmos are shaping the next few weeks in real time. still on the fence with the month of June.
While I’m open to the possibility of this month bringing in the juiciness of abundance and expansion we all need, it’s not remiss of looming external factors that make leaning into such an energy challenging. The noise of what’s going on in the outside world, often poses a distraction keeping us caught in a loop of worrying about shit we can’t change.
Our insights this week, remind us of that and encourage a path to a resolution.
Let’s begin.
We start with the Ace of Swords—the manifestation of mental clarity, agility, communication, vision, our intuitive nature, swift changes, and bravery of heart. When we meet the Ace of Swords, the Divine shows us the possibilities of decisions made in alignment. It’s easy to get caught up in wanting to force things to work in our favor, but the airy nature of the swords is a reminder that when we allow movement to flow naturally, we end up guided to what works desperately to magnetize.
This week, consider where more clarity is needed in your relationships, where you can be more communicative and forthcoming and/or demand that from others. How you can recommit to establishing a relationship with your good spirits and ancestors. Ask them for guidance this week as welcome Jupiter entering its exaltation through Cancer, along with the peaking of the Jupiter ruled Full Moon in Sag.
Next, we have the Five of Wands.
In addition to the lovely water energy swirling in the cosmos with Mercury and Jupiter in Cancer, there’s also heavy fire energy with Saturn in Aries, Mars in Leo, and the Moon entering Sagittarius. Be mindful of your energy because shit is coming in hot. Mercury in Cancer doesn’t always mean nurturing. The adverse to this moody crab is a biting and cutting tongue. Emotions and aggressiveness are at an all time high, given the nature of the current climate. While the discord and unrest with our country and abroad continues to rise, see these conflicts as an opportunity for change.
What is the Divine trying to tell us, teach us?
What are our loved ones, colleagues, and the like attempting to say?
Sometimes a preemptive strike isn’t getting ahead, but rather starting an unnecessary war.
Lastly, we meet The Empress—the key to our pleasure and abundance, as well as apropos for this week’s Full Moon.
The Empress encourages us to look at our garden and enjoy the fruits of our labor. To tend to what we have and to nurture it, so that it may grow and give us more of what we desire. That’s a challenge when we’re operating in discord with the world around us and seeking clarity in spaces of ambiguity. This Venusian energy sits at home currently in Taurus. We can look to Venus to reignite our passions, dig deep for sensual notes, recommit to a pleasure practice, seek groundedness in a world forced to be chaotic, and seek our internal and external gardens for the medicine that we need to cope and soothe.
🌱 Here are a few seeds of inspiration to get you going for the week:
What creative project or nurturing dream (Empress energy) is ready to be birthed through you this week?
How might the conflicts or competitions in your life (Five of Wands) actually be clearing the way for your authentic truth to emerge?
What new idea or mental breakthrough (Ace of Swords) is waiting to cut through confusion and illuminate your next steps?
☕ Have a quick sip of encouragement:
The Empress tells you: You have everything within you to create beauty and abundance. Your nurturing energy is a superpower.
The Five of Wands declares: The conflicts you face are not obstacles—they are the universe's way of showing you what needs to change. Every challenge is strengthening your resolve.
The Ace of Swords promises: Mental clarity is coming. A breakthrough idea, a moment of perfect understanding, a cutting-through-the-fog revelation awaits you.
Trust the journey you’re on, your breakthrough is brewing.
Sip slowly, and enjoy.
Until we meet again, muses.
