Preparing Your Space
Find a sunny spot where you can feel the energy of the sun, a garden, park, beach, sunny patio or window will be lovely.
Choose a Tarot deck that inspires light and joy.
Include symbols of summer if you like– crystals, suncatchers, flowers, fruits, seashells, or anything that sparks joy and embodies the radiance of the season.
Ground yourself in the cool grass, warm sand, floor or surface you are resting on and take a moment to feel gratitude for the warmth and abundance you feel now and in your life.
