🏳️‍🌈 Weekly Tarot Reading — Pride Reflections: Through the Threshold Once More

The Luminous Threshold (our name for the Rainbow Moon Tarot by Samantha West) holds space again for our Pride month series. It’s a deck we return to for its bold honesty, and its way of illuminating the edges… the places between who we've been and who we're becoming.

And for Pride, we weave these messages with lyrics from queer artists. Their words remind us: clarity, love, and power are not given. We claim them.

Though there may be familiarity here, the message has deepened.

In all honesty, the drawing of the cards this week was eerie. As soon as I pulled the first card, I thought... this feels familiar. And as you’ll see, three of the four cards that appear in this reading came through in a previous week’s collective reading.

This wasn't coincidence, instead an echo. A reminder that the work we’re doing isn't linear. We spiral back, we meet the same edges, with new eyes, new truth, and deeper clarity.

Card One: Two of Crystals — "Balancing Touch"

"I can't complain about it, I gotta keep my balance, and just keep dancin' on it." — Janelle Monáe, "Tightrope"

Balance isn’t about perfection, it’s an evolving dance. The Two of Crystals reappears this week, shifting from its recent reversal but still holding the same core invitation: to sense which responsibilities, connections, or pressures are truly yours to carry and which can be set down. Janelle Monáe’s words remind us that sometimes the best we can do is keep moving with grace through life’s tilt and tumble.

Affirmation:

"I meet life's rhythms with grace. I can carry what matters, and set down what doesn't."

Card Two: The Lovers (Reversed) — "The Mirror In"

"I'm beautiful in my way, 'Cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way." — Lady Gaga, "Born This Way"

This card too returns. For some, perhaps again. The Lovers reversed isn’t always about them. This time it’s about you. Your reflection. Your alignment. Your promises to self. The world may press its expectations, but Gaga’s anthem and this card both urge us to choose ourselves without apology.

For those who pulled this card again from a recent reading, you’re not imagining it, but maybe you feel you needa clearer picture. A clarifier was drawn for you: The Creator (Empress), another card to revisit with a gentle nudge that nurturing yourself is not straying, it's the very heart of the work.

Sometimes choosing yourself isn’t easy. Sometimes it means pausing, resting, listening to the quieter parts within, the parts that still believe in your own becoming.

Affirmation:

"I honour who I am. Messy, whole, evolving. I am always worthy of my own love.

Card Three: Warden of Wands — "The Flame-Bearer"

"I don't dance, I work, I don't play, I slay, I don't walk, I strut..." — Todrick Hall, "Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels"

The Warden of Wands is fire incarnate... sovereign, steady, unapologetic. They lead with conviction, not because they’re seeking approval, but because their values demand it. Like Todrick’s lyrics, this is an invitation to claim your space, your work, your light. Lead with passion. Let the world feel your presence.

Affirmation:

"I lead with passion. I shine with purpose. My fire needs no approval."

Let the Light In

The cards may repeat, but the message always deepens. This week reminds us that the work of clarity, self-love, and embodied leadership is a spiral. We return to familiar edges, but with new eyes.

For me, that echo was impossible to miss. I pulled card two both weeks… The Lovers reversed. It was the card (one of them) that showed up just before I took time away to honour my energy, my disabilities, and the reasons I began this work to begin with.

Back then, the reading leaned more into the relational aspects of the card. Now, it lands closer to home—personal choice, alignment, remembering why I do this at all.

For me, this return is a reminder: keep your why in focus. The edges shift, but the roots remain.

If a card stirred something in you, honour that. Sit with it. Write about it. Or come get a letter of your own. You can explore the full archive and book your reading at: www.lettersfromthecards.com
