You may already be feeling and seeing the themes of the Lovers Tarot archetype take form and permeate your life and in the collective. In 2022, we are being asked to make our choices from the heart. We are being asked to break away from our conditioning, take risks, and reconnect to our gifts and brilliance unabashedly.

How can you collaborate with the potent energies of this archetype? How can you embrace, embody, and harmonize with the themes of Lovers Tarot Card of the Year?

Blanca S. Villalobos (they/she) is generously sharing their dream magic with the Modern Women studio in their upcoming online workshop Dream Embodiment, Ritual Making Through Art! To get ready for their one-of-a-kind offering, Sarah and Blanca chatted about all things dream magic.

Be Your Own Love Mirror by Sarah Faith Gottesdiener

This year begins on the last day of the Dark Moon period. New Year’s Eve and the first day of the Gregorian year could feel more akin to letting go than beginning again. On Sunday morning we welcome a New Moon.

The year begins with a slower start: we are still metabolizing, processing, and integrating 2020 and 2021. There’s a lot to sit with and a lot to wrap up. The COVID-19 surges are limiting what we can do, so there could be feelings of constriction. Reflect, dream, and consciously feel into what you’d like to experience most in 2022.

The longest and the shortest month begins in December.
Many of us are still processing grief and this year. For many of us, 2021 has been a series of 2 steps forward, 3 steps back: both in external efforts and in healing. Give yourself grace. Focus on making the month as intentional as possible.

Honoring the Dark Moon: Intimacy with the Void

Once upon a time, she realized she did not truly understand her own power. She needed to find out the precise form of a magical creature that pulsed inside. She cut the cords, licked the knife, and, untethered, entered the void. The kind of wild she was burst forth like bouquets of stars, like a dreaming jaguar’s tail flicking in the night. As she decided to show herself how powerful she could be, the stars sang back. The constellations were rearranged as future hymns to the myths of her reinvention. The Dark Moon smiled upon her, a black velvet blessing.
