Today we reach the midpoint of the 12 Days of Dreaming, a powerful time for manifestation through intentional rituals.
As we celebrate the sixth day of Yule, we are reminded to prioritize the wellness of ourselves and our loved ones. This day, known as The Feast of Eir, embodies themes of healing, grace, and mercy—the profound power over life and death.
It is crucial to nurture both ourselves and those around us, emphasizing the importance of nourishment while practicing self-discipline. This discipline is not merely about restraint; it’s the ability to translate our desires into meaningful actions.
In alignment with this day, we honor June—a time to reflect on the blessings in our lives. The guiding tarot card for June is The Empress.

The Empress: The Nurturer and Transformer
The Empress symbolizes nurturing, comfort, and beauty. She embodies love and wisdom, serving as the Earth Mother. With her deep connection to nature, she represents the essence of motherhood, service, and harmonious integration of mental and emotional expression. As a strong leader, she inspires and motivates women, embodying the great Earth Mother’s receptive feminine energy (Yin).
In her approach to life, The Empress radiates love without overgiving or forcing outcomes. She embodies emotional openness and balance, possessing a heart that is both trusting and nurturing. She understands the importance of giving and receiving equally, reflecting love infused with wisdom.
Her heart and mind work in unison, promoting emotional balance, wisdom, and the capacity to listen to one’s inner guidance. She stands as a beacon of personal transformation, illustrating the journey from the ugly duckling to the swan—the awakening of our inner potential. This transformative process addresses both internal shifts and external expressions, encouraging us to honor our divine nature.
The Empress guides us in breaking patterns of overgiving and excessive protection, demonstrating the powerful of the heart and mind working in tandem. She urges us to infuse more beauty, harmony, and receptivity into our daily existence.
At her core, The Empress represents our ability to extend and receive love in equal measure.
Affirmation:
“I give and receive wisely. I embrace leadership that values and respects both ideas and feelings equally. I honor the healing power of beauty, harmony, and love. I acknowledge that my capacity to receive is as powerful as my ability to give.”
