Tarot Summer: June (US)

Want a little guidance for your summer? Look no further! Tarot summer is here -- and it's looking so bright, I recommend shades (or possibly a parasol).

For this swap, you will be doing a reading for the month of June for one partner, sent as a letter. You will be doing this by pulling two cards for each week. We will be splitting June up into 5 weeks:

• Week One: May 29 - June 4
• Week Two: June 5 - June 11
• Week Three: June 12 - June 18
• Week Four: June 19 - June 25
• Week Five: June 26 - July 2

That means ten cards total.

The first card for each week will represent something your partner should focus on, a goal, a general orientation for the week, etc.

The second card for each week will represent an obstacle, a fear/anxiety, something to be mindful of, etc.

Each week should come out to a minimum of 4 - 5 sentences of writing -- so that's minimum 20 sentences for the full letter.

Send date will be a week and a half out from June 1. US only to ensure it will arrive on time (hopefully you have it by May 29!). These dates will be adjusted for future swaps if people like this series enough for me to continue it and the amount of time provided ends up not being sufficient.

If you are a bit unsure what to write, here is a quick 'n dirty example I typed up. I have stripped anything flowery or detailed out of this just to show what's generally expected, but any writing style is welcome.

Week one (May 29 - June 24): I pulled the 3 of pentacles and the knight of swords. The 3 of pentacles show that you have made some progress toward a goal you are working on and should continue to focus on moving this goal forward. However, the knight of swords warns to not be too impulsive in making decisions. You have already come pretty far, and while being decisive has helped you up to this point, be mindful that becoming overeager can result in lack of quality or taking shortcuts. It's not worth making progress if you will have to do it again the right way.

Week two (June 5 - June 11): For week two, your first card is the 2 of swords and your second card is the 5 of pentacles. The two of swords shows there is some uncertainty in this week, and you may be stalled on not knowing where to make your next move. The 5 of pentacles bolsters this, with a fear that the wrong decision may cause material loss. It's important to remember the message from the knight of swords last week when looking at these cards, because it seems that slow and steady progress will help keep you on the right track.

And so on for weeks 3, 4, and 5!

Swap Rules

• 1 letter to one partner

• letter may be handwritten (try to write neatly!) or typed (I know that achy hands can pull the joy from swapping). In either case, please use stationery or decorated paper, add visual interest, etc.

• 2 cards for each week in June (broken down into 5 weeks, as shown above). 4 - 5 sentences minimum per week, no maximum. This comes out to 10 cards total, and a minimum of 20 sentences.

• extras are welcome, but not necessary. Please keep this swap flat and under an ounce. Extras that don't cost anything: pulling another card to clarify something, pulling cards for the month in general, etc. Please don't try to "buy" a heart by adding items, especially if they aren't profile-based!

• please rate promptly. 5 if you received and it meets the requirements, heart if you loved it/felt your partner really took their time.

• send on-time. I will angel if your partner has not sent by June 15 (I message all people who have not sent on time), or if you have not received anything by June 15 and your partner is non-communicative. Just keep in mind that I will have to angel for an upcoming month.

• No unrated swappers. No unexplained 1's or 3's. I will message or ban at my discretion. Please be proactive and message me first if you believe there is anything questionable on your profile that is not explained therein.

• If you want your partner to know stuff like your astrology sun/moon/ascendant and it's not in your profile, feel free to comment!

That's all! If you have any questions or comments, please message me. I will definitely see it, whereas there's a 50/50 chance of me seeing it in a timely fashion with comments.

Happy swapping!
