Gifts & Jewels of Shadow Tending
11:11 ~ A simple altar ritual for this retrograde cycle:
Create a small altar for your shadow self. This can be as simple as a candle, a stone, a bowl of water, or an item that represents the parts of you that are often hidden or tender.
If you have tarot or oracle cards, pull one card as your “teacher” for this retrograde cycle. Sit with the imagery, the colors, and the feeling it evokes.
Here are two prompts to help you intuit the lesson or message:
What part of myself is asking to be acknowledged, forgiven, or witnessed right now?
What wisdom or boundary is this moment trying to teach me so I can move forward with more clarity?
Let whatever arises come gently. This ritual is not about fixing. It is about meeting yourself with truth and compassion.
If you wish to receive, I pulled a card for our collective to anchor into some teachings and reflections. I am too, receiving so much from this teaching, asking me to do less, to re-ground in gentleness.
Dalawa ng Binhi: Shadow Teaching (Mercury Retrograde)
Main Message:
You are carrying too much, moving in too many directions, or trying to keep things “in balance” that were never meant to be held alone. The shadow of this card reveals imbalance, strain, scattered responsibility, and the pressure to maintain stability even when your spirit is tired.
Shadow Teaching:
Dalawa ng Binhi asks you to face where you’ve been overworking, over-giving, or over-managing. The imbalance is showing you what is no longer sustainable. Something needs to be set down, redistributed, or tended with greater gentleness.
Invitation:
This card invites you to re-ground, simplify, and return to your center, so you’re not carrying burdens that should be shared or released.
