Mami. Akamara tarot.

As a nurturer, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is create space between the people and things we care for the most, giving them room to sit with the tools that you’ve given them to individually blossom and learn. This week, we’re in for a lesson on tough love!

This insight stems from the Mami card and the Challenge card, which I pulled for the ZORA collective. Here’s what it all means.

In all of her abundance, Mami represents the divine feminine figure, the creatress, the mother, and the unconditional lover. It is she, who in her womb (literally and metaphorically) incubates new ideas and pathways for material success, fruitfulness, and ever-flowing inspiration. Typically, as the primary source of love, nurturing, and empathy, Mami’s energy often goes into pouring into her children. In her shadow, sometimes this care comes at the expense of her personal well-being. For those who have been blessed with a divine feminine figure in your life, you understand that your mother, grandmother, auntie, or cousin (whoever she was for you) was indispensable and irreplaceable. She was your go-to for advice, always knew the right thing to say, and could get your spirit in check more than anyone ever could.

What happens when you, Mami, overgive? You create codependent relationships, you become disappointed by your lack of appreciation, you feel drowned by your responsibilities, and you begin to feel that you are owed for your energy and creations.

The maternal figures this week are challenged by Spirit to exercise tough love. Mothering is not about providing what you want; it’s about providing what you need. The beauty of divine feminine energy is your infinite connection to unlimited abundance; you always can provide, even in uncontrollable circumstances. And as the mother, you want to. You want to give your children all that you lacked: You are their home; you want to empower and be their peace; this is a part of why…
