Hope after burnout doesn’t feel like hope. It feels like obligation: one more performance of okayness you don’t have the energy for. www.ritualreflection... #TarotSky #TheStar #BurnoutRecovery #ShadowWork #RitualReflections

Perimenopause asks the same question The Moon asks: what if you can't optimize your way through this? Your body is dismantling one version of itself to make room for another. You just happen to be awake for it. On rewilding and uncertainty.

The hot flashes, the brain fog, the emotional swings—these aren't malfunctions. They're your body dismantling itself to rebuild. The Moon × perimenopause: on living in the uncertainty when your body speaks a language you don't understand yet. #Perimenopause #Tarot #MenopauseAwareness

There's a particular way you start holding yourself when pain becomes constant: in your jaw, your shoulders, your breath. A tightness that started as protection and became your posture. The Four of Pentacles and chronic pain. #ChronicIllness #Tarot #FourOfPentacles #ChronicPainAwareness

Nobody tells you how much of your life you end up saving for later with chronic pain. You can't go to the thing because you need energy for the other thing. The Four of Pentacles isn't just about control, it's about the grief of rationing your life. #ChronicPain #Grief #Tarot #SpoonTheory

Resilience has a shelf life. What once saved you can start to cost you. #NineOfWands #TarotSky #Resilience #HealingJourney #ShadowWork

The stars are still there. The water is still pouring. You’re still here. www.ritualreflection... #TarotSky #TheStar #ShadowWork #Healing #Burnout

Your nervous system might still be protecting you from a threat that no longer exists. Sometimes your gut isn’t intuition...it’s memory. #TarotSky #TraumaInformed #NineOfWands #SomaticHealing #ShadowWork

The Moon shows a domesticated dog and a wild wolf, both howling at the same light. This is perimenopause: you contain both the version of yourself that's learned to function, and the version that's done being managed. On the rewilding nobody mentions. #Perimenopause #Tarot #TheMoon #Midlife

The Four of Pentacles: when chronic pain turns your body into something to control instead of something to live in. On energy rationing, the scarcity economy of limited capacity, and learning to hold less tightly. #ChronicPain #TarotSky #SpoonTheory #DisabilityJustice

The Moon card appears during perimenopause: when your body is in twilight, no longer what it was, not yet what it's becoming. On hot flashes that aren't gentle ceremonies, brain fog that isn't mystical, and what it means to trust a body in transition. #Perimenopause #TarotSky #TheMoon #Menopause

"Just relax" when you're living with chronic pain lands somewhere between insulting and impossible. What if you could release the grip by one percent? One finger? One breath? The Four of Pentacles × chronic pain. #ChronicPain #SomaticHealing #Tarot #InvisibleIllness

What if you’re standing in the aftermath of burnout, staring at The Star, and feeling absolutely nothing? What if hope feels more exhausting than despair? www.ritualreflection... #TarotSky #TheStar #TarotReflections #Burnout #Healing

Hope after burnout isn’t fireworks. It’s brushing your teeth, watering a plant, answering one email. It’s not glamorous; it’s just the quiet fact of still being here. www.ritualreflection... #TarotSky #TheStar #BurnoutRecovery #ShadowWork #RitualReflections

She doesn’t break because she cares too much, she breaks because she’s forgotten she deserves to be cared for too. #TarotReflections #TheEmpress #SelfWorth #ShadowWork #RitualReflections

The Star after burnout: hope doesn't feel like hope. It feels like obligation. Like one more thing you're supposed to muster up when the truth is you just want to lie on the floor and not think about what comes next. On post-burnout apathy and the smallest possible version of forward.

When you make yourself responsible for everyone’s wellbeing, you rob them of their agency. Control dressed up as devotion. #Tarot #TheEmpressReversed #EmotionalBoundaries #Healing #ShadowWork

The armor you built to survive has become the cage you live in. Hypervigilance kept you safe, but now it keeps you small. #TarotSky #NineOfWands #ShadowWork #Healing #Boundaries

She doesn’t break because she cares too much— she breaks because she’s forgotten she deserves to be cared for too. www.ritualreflections.com/reflections/... #TarotSky #TheEmpress #SelfWorth #ShadowWork #RitualReflections
