The Salt/Body
Longevity, Transition, Watering Can
ARMY is currently at a place of peace, it seems as though all the negative energy from the comeback has passed, people who were meant to leave left, people who were meant to join joined, the overall body of ARMYs is just settling into its normal belonging, its natural dynamic with Bangtan, especially during this tour. I do think there is a necessity for more community care though, a lot of people are on their own corners of the internet engaging in fanwars, getting their arms up in the air and complaining about benign things, or even harmful things like privacy threats on the members, but also do not take any actions that makes the community better. There is a need for more preparation, information sharing about proper etiquette, mass reportings of paparazzis and sasaengs, mass blocking and ignoring the videos and photos released in BTS private times at the moment they are taken.
With the Queen of Pentacles, there is a need for self-organization, for the rise of leaders (for example, local army associations) to do their jobs, rise to the challenge, take charge of the information-sharing and the organizing of the fans, there is also a need for self-regulation. There is no use to complain about people going to their hotels while giving visibility to them by watching their videos or commenting under them: make sure your actions are aligned with your values and the outcomes you want to be successful.
The Mercury/Spirit
Focus (Stock), Fertility (Watermelon), Buds
On the mercurial level, it seems as though there is a need for ARMYs as individuals to find their places in ARMY as a whole. Fandoms is community, and community is supposed to be a give and take that stays rooted in authentic values. Do not remain in circles that don't align with you, do not force yourself to fit in circles that don't fit you. This period is full of opportunities, and it shows that being ARMY works. It serves your mental health, your spiritual health, your sense of purpose and belonging in this world, but if you are a recent ARMY, or recently have had a spiritual awakening, rebirth, dark night of the soul etc, make sure to ground what changed in your spirit into your reality. If your values changed, make them heard. If your needs changed, don't keep trying to fulfill the needs of an old version of yourself. You are already there darling, you are on the other side, the only thing you need to integrate the changes you have have emotionally, spiritually, mentally is to take actions in your day to day. They do not have to be big either: say yes to that hangout that seems exciting but out of your comfort zone, say no to that thing that you used to say yes to but never really enjoyed, send a message to that person you miss or are curious about and block that person that you know is a pain in the ass. What you do works, who you are is there, you just need to make sure the progress you made isn't derailed by a self-imposed frost.
With the nine of cups and the three of wands, the future is beautiful, it's rich, it's precious and it waits for you. All of your wishes and desires are possible, fulfillment and happiness are possible, you just need to look towards the future without fear, take the steps to the sea, then take the wave you want to surf. You can do this, it is meant for you.
The Sulphur/ The Consciousness
Leadership, Seeds
These two cards mention the plurality of potentials, and the fact that nothing is certain and that fear cannot make the decisions for you. Many, many many opportunities are coming, don't dismiss them out of fear, ego or reflex, every offer can teach us something about who we are, our desires, or what others see in us, even if we dont see it ourselves. Look for your inner voice, instead of acting on impulses, quick feelings or the opinion of everyone else around you. It reminds me of this stat I saw recently about whatever % of people who don't have metacognition: metacognition if you dont know is the ability to think about your thoughts. For example, you hear something that makes you uncomfortable and you go "interesting, why?" then you look at what was said, what part of you was activated, what was your mental process, and get to the root of what made you uncomfortable. This may be hard, especially when talking about reactions of anger, shame or disgust but it's necessary work and will help you on the long run deconstruct stuff you learned unconsciously and would not like to continue with, so you can focus on your soul, your inner and authentic self, and not whatever factory setting society around you decided was right for you without asking.
