Lust
"And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."
Meister Eckhart

A typical description of this card Lust goes like this: A woman tempted by sensory desires, riding on a lion-like hybrid.
There is a deeper way to understand Lust: She is the inescapable, vibrant renewal of life, the dark feminine river from which all things manifest.
One of my favorite descriptions of Lust calls it the type of energy that is primitive and creative, completely independent of the criticism of reason. What is the unreasonable, emerging new life pushing out of you this Vernal Equinox?
I’ve been honored over the years to do readings for so many – is it time to do yours?

In Elyn’s Diary, we’re exploring our authenticity looking at the 22 Major Arcana cards, looking at each card and some of the questions they invite us to explore. These cards represent universal principles collectively experienced, regardless of our culture or family upbringing, and teach us how, as human beings, we grow, evolve, and deepen. The first eleven:
The Fool: What does my heart tell me?
The Magus: How do I tell my truth?
The Priestess: How do I trust my intuition?
The Empress: How do I nurture?
The Emperor: How do I lead?
The Hierophant: Who are my teachers?
The Lovers: How do I love?
The Chariot: What’s my next adventure?
Adjustment: How do I find my balance?
The Hermit: How do I find my inner light?
Wheel of Fortune: Are you ready for good fortune?

The Spring (Vernal) Equinox is around the corner. We often think of Spring as a time of Easter egg hunts and pastel dresses.
But if we look deeper, we can see that Lust personifies Spring, and she isn't gentle or sweet or pale pink.
When babies are born from the womb or the egg, they burst bloody into the world. Snow melts, and the rivers roar downstream. Plants and blossoms push out of the ground. The land is fecund with new life and new possibilities.
The Vernal, or Spring, Equinox means equal night and day. ‘Vernal’ comes from the Latin word for bloom. The earth awakens, new life emerges, sap rises, buds shoot, and spring flowers are celebrated as gifts from nature. Spring returns and rejuvenates our life force.
The word Ostara is just one of the names applied to the Spring Equinox celebration on March 21. The goddess Ostara symbolizes the awakening of the earth after a long winter. It is a time of new beginnings.
