I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

At Full Stop

This week I'll be using the Rider Marseille Tarot, created by Alejandro R. Rozan and published through Artisan Tarot. I'll also be using Ostinato Oracle, created and self-published by Mellie Parkway. Today's draws are the Hanged Man and Accolade:

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop.

I arrived weeks earlier than I was due to a first-time mom. I've been in a hurry ever since, constantly on the move and busy doing. Pausing was something I had to learn when I finally realized there are some things that I just can't do anything about - or even at times influence. It requires a certain resilience to watch and wait, allowing situations and people to just be. But relaxed observing can give us the chance to notice things we missed before and allows insight to arise. It may be a forced reset, but nevertheless it can be helpful. Accolade is a brace used in music to join two or more staffs carrying concurrent parts. Parkway suggests the message of this symbol is "embrace in full." What better advice could there be when we're at full stop?
