Awoooo wild ones it's bernadette king.
Today is tuesday september 15 2020.
And i am here with all of the animal allies of the award-winning Ark animal tarot and
oracle deck for your pick a card daily tarot reading.
So before we get started, remember that september is world animal remembrance month.
And on tuesdays, tuesdays the power behind that is okay let's do this.
Let's go.
Let's move.
Let's, let's get going with a sense of purpose.
And the chakra of tuesdays is the sacral chakra which is about your self-worth.
Its motto is i feel.
The color is this vibrant orange.
And the planetary influence that we're working with today is mars.
It's aggressive.
It's a driving force.
It helps you to create strategy.
So that's even all before we get into the tarot card and the spirit, totem and power
animal of the day, which is the empress card.
The cow card.
Now you might be thinking, okay listen what tuesdays are like they're aggressive and they're
all about i feel and the the emotions um the element by the way of tuesdays is water.
And you're all like okay what does that have to do with cows?
You know they're not the fastest moving or most aggressive animals in the world.
But aha that is where you would be wrongola and i will go into it.
So the empress card in the traditional Rider Waite tarot which is what the ark animal oracle
card deck is based on is the Rider Waite tarot she is the ultimate earth mother.
She is mother gaia.
She is who gives us with life with sustenance for life.
She gives us with abundance.
Whatever she plants wherever she plants it it grows, it blossoms, it's fertile.
That may not seem aggressive because it's not raw aggressive in an outward manner.
Uh but have you ever tried being a mom?
Do you know a mom of anything?
I was never blessed enough to have like human children but i've had enough um businesses
and dogs and cats and pigs and chickens and horses and you know i had enough animals and
worked with enough animals to know that the aggression in moms is an aggression that never
sleeps.
She may not wear it on the outside but when a mother wants something oh she's gonna get
it.
No matter how long it takes.
That's not aggression if that's not mars aggressive war energy, because when moms wage war, when
empresses wage war, they're in it for the long haul.
So if you've got a project that you've been like thinking about starting or you're like
oh i'm in it but i'm not sure about it, call on the empress card.
Meditate with the empress card.
And that that power is sure to flow right through you and give you the support you need
to fertilize this project, relationship, creation of whatever kind.
It will give you the understanding and the vision to be able to tend that garden.
So that when you harvest, what you're sowing, when you reap what you're sowing, holy cow
is it gonna be quite something.
Really whatever you want.
And you know aren't our dreams always quite something?
Isn't anything that we you know dream up in our spirit or comes to us in a in a dream
or a vision or something that just is a truth in our heart, that's very powerful in our
life no matter what it is.
The other night, my truth, my power was y'all i needed a soft serve ice cream cone.
So i hauled myself up out at 10 30 at night and drove to sonic and got myself a dang ice
cream cone.
It was the most powerful thing i could do at the time.
But you see where i'm going with this right, okay.
So now you know people have often asked me why do you so why did you do an animal tarot
deck?
Well because when you take a look at the symbolism and meaning when you're learning tarot and
you take a look at all the deep, deep symbolism and meaning of the tarot cards and everything
that's in them, the animal kingdom adds an entirely different and new layer that can
just take your readings and your healings beyond the beyond the beyond.
Now cows again by and large now when we think of aggression and you know that kind of father
sky, male energy, so to speak um we think of bulls right.
We think of steers.
We think of bulls.
Because they they can be very fast fast-moving and they are like [bull growls].
They, they really are like that y'all so having grown up near lots and lots of dairy and cattle
everything here in you know north florida where i grew up.
Um but they also, bulls can be the sweetest, kindest you know steers can be the sweetest,
kindness they're really like big fat dogs if you if you really you know if you know
them from the time they're little ones.
So where does that leave the cow?
Where does that leave the empress?
Well in in the world of spirit animal meanings, totem animal meanings, power animal meanings,
cows are you know of course they're sacred in india.
And they've given us milk for years and years and years.
And um you know though it greatly, greatly pains me to say it their meat has sustained
you know them and and and bulls the the byproducts that that we have gotten from them is you
know i mean without it we don't know where society would be right.
I'd love to find out in an alternate reality one day because again it pains me to bring
that up.
But when we take a look at the totality of the cow in relation to tuesdays, tuesday is
the go for it day.
Tuesday is the i am going to get it done come hell or high water.
I am moving along, aha moooooving along yuck yuck yuck.
And having that kind of abundance of everything you could possibly need.
Nourishment of the mind.
Nourishment of the body.
Nourishment of the soul.
Cow as a spirit, totem, and power animal helps you achieve that.
So let's say that you today are wanting to um call on cow as your spirit animal.
Well she is the one that can that can help you understand that when you want to achieve
something, when you've got a goal it's not going to come without its storms.
It's not going to come without its challenges.
And cow as a spirit animal, she is the matron of the world right.
She's like all the dowager you know matrons on downton abbey.
She's the strong one.
She's the unflappable one.
She's the, okay i understand things are hard let me help you through this.
She is, she's your anchor right.
Let's say that you really identify with cow as a totem animal.
You just really kind of feel like you know i'm, i'm, the, i'm the person that holds everybody's
heart in their hands.
I'm the person that people come to with all of their problems and their troubles.
And i just you know somehow i always know what to say.
I know how to help heal them.
That's the holy cow in you.
No joke, really.
Is the holy cow in you.
It is that divinity that you carry um just somehow in your spirit you know coming into
this lifetime, understanding just naturally and innately how to help people get to where
they want to be.
Even if you know nothing about what they're trying to cook up at the time, you know how
to help them get there.
So if cow is your totem animal, then you can use that mother goddess, mother gaia thing
that you've got about you today.
I, i can't even imagine what you're cooking up in your life or what you're helping friends
or family or co-workers cook up or plant.
I, i can't even imagine.
And you're just going about it quietly.
You're just doing your thing.
Batting your big cow eyes.
And all of the sudden, miraculously, magically things just happen.
Things just grow.
They just manifest.
And there's enough for everybody.
That's all you baby.
You, you, you, you great big beautiful lovable totem cow, you.
Take pride in that.
So let's say that on this tuesday, the go get em day.
Okay go get em days you know sometimes you run out of starbucks, sometimes you run out
of your kombucha, sometimes you know you run out of a little nippy nippy you're taking
during the middle of the day because you're working at home right.
And you're just like i know that i'm supposed to be getting through this day.
I know, i know, i know, but i need a little pick-me-up please, please, please.
Invoke cow as the empress as your power animal.
Because cow as your power animal, she's that really great blend of okay listen, pull up
your big girl panties let's get going.
And i love you.
Like she's the cocooning, loving energy that will push you gently ahead but always have
your back.
So when you need that from inside of yourself or maybe you really need that from somebody
else today, tap into the cow medicine and energy that is part of you.
Because we're all connected.
We are all things and all things are us.
That's why you'll hear me say a bajillion times whatever we do to ourselves we do someone
else, well to the world really.
And whatever you do to the world, you do to yourself.
So i hope that is helpful for you on this tuesday.
You've got great empress energy, great cow energy behind you.
So go out there.
Live your best life.
Make all your dreams come true.
But most importantly stay wild!
