🏳️‍🌈 Weekly Tarot Reading: At the Threshold (Pride Edition)

  • Jun 4
  • 2 min read

There’s a quiet kind of magic that lives in the in-between.

This week, we’re reading with The Luminous Threshold — our name for the Rainbow Moon Tarot by Samantha West — a deck that holds space for transitions, identities in flux, and quiet power still finding its voice.

And in honour of Pride Month, each card’s reflection is paired with a quote from a queer or LGBTQ+ thought leader — voices that don’t just inspire clarity, but embody it. As queer creators, this offering is both a celebration and a ritual of witnessing. May it meet you where you are.

✨ Pick a Card

Let it meet you where you are.

Let it speak to your becoming.

A glowing purple-pink gradient background with three reversed tarot cards from the Rainbow Moon Tarot deck laid side by side. Each card has a black star-speckled back with a rainbow eye symbol in the center. Text reads: “At the Threshold – A weekly tarot reading using The Luminous Threshold (Rainbow Moon Tarot). Pick the card that meets you here. At the edge. In the in-between. One speaks to the chaos behind you. One to the clarity forming within. One to the quiet shape of what’s next.” Below each card are pastel buttons labeled 1, 2, and 3.

Card One: Two of Crystals (Reversed) — "The Tangle & The Task"

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” — Audre Lorde, A Burst of Light: Essays (1988)
A card from the Rainbow Moon Tarot deck showing the Two of Crystals (reversed). The figure sits cross-legged on a pink armchair, surrounded by warm yellow-green tones. Text beside the card reads: “The Tangle & The Task – Two of Crystals (Reversed). You can’t keep juggling everything — not at the cost of your breath. The balance isn’t broken. It’s simply begging to be realigned. This week, soften the pressure to perform harmony. Let things fall so your hands can catch what actually matters.” Affirmation: “I’m allowed to drop what drains me.”

If your rhythm feels frantic lately, if you’re trying to hold together ten things that don’t even fit in the same orbit — pause. There’s no prize for perfect balance. There’s only the truth of what’s sustainable. This week, you’re asked to consider: what would you drop if you trusted your breath more than your checklist?

✨ Reflection Prompt:

Where have I been performing “balance” instead of living it?

What would it feel like to drop the juggling act?

Card Two: The Lovers (Reversed) — "The Unravelling Thread"

“I stopped looking for someone to complete me. I became that person.” — Alok Vaid-Menon (they/them), gender nonconforming writer, artist, and LGBTQ+ thought leader
The Lovers card (reversed) from the Rainbow Moon Tarot deck features two people standing back to back under a soft sky. One is dark-skinned with green hair, the other pale with pink hair. Text beside the card reads: “The Unraveling Thread – The Lovers (Reversed). Not every bond needs to be mended. Some connections ask for space — not because they lack love, but because they need clarity. This week, consider what relationships have taught you about yourself, not just what they’ve asked of you.” Affirmation: “I release what no longer reflects my truth.”

Letting go doesn’t mean you failed. It means something has run its course. This card arrives to soften shame around detachment. Not every closeness needs rescuing. This week invites you to bless the ties that loosen — not out of malice, but from truth finally spoken.

Reflection Prompt:

What connection or memory do I need to loosen my grip on, so I can return to myself?

Card Three: The Creator (Reversed) — "The Quiet Bloom"

“Rest is not idleness. Rest is resistance.” — Tricia Hersey (she/her), founder of The Nap Ministry and author of Rest Is Resistance
The Creator (Empress) card reversed from the Rainbow Moon Tarot shows a figure in a navy dress with a heart pendant, yellow boots, and stars above their head, standing in a dreamlike field. Below them, illustrated roots extend through glowing earth. Text reads: “The Quiet Bloom – The Creator • Empress (Reversed). Your magic isn’t gone — it’s just underground. What if resting is part of the creation cycle? This week, befriend the pause. Know that seeds still hold power before they sprout.” Affirmation: “Even when I’m still, I am growing.”

Growth isn’t always dazzling. Sometimes it’s slow and hidden — a seed gestating under soil. If you’re feeling quiet, inward, still: it doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. This card reminds you that sacred cycles include rest. Let yourself be fallow without apology.

Reflection Prompt:

What parts of me are quietly growing, even if no one sees them yet?

Closing Thoughts: Let the Light In

You don’t need to be loud to be real.

You don’t need to be certain to be seen.


This week’s cards asked different things of us — release, rest, reconfiguration — but they share one message: we are allowed to change shape without losing ourselves. As queer people, we’ve always lived at the threshold — and we’ve always made beauty there.


✨ If a card stayed with you, let it.

Write about it. Carry it into your week. Or tag a friend who might need the same reflection.


With softness,

— Cat & Racquel
