¡AY MI NENA LINDA, MI SOL!
When was your last carcajada?
La Nena—like The Sun/El Sol—is a card of joy, freedom, optimism, and réquete-superabundant fun. If your inner kid wants to ride a pink unicorn through a field of sunflowers, they can do that! If you get La Nena in a reading, it means it’s time to shine, to play, to revel in life’s pleasures. There’s an irresistibly youthful energy in this card that can make you feel rejuvenated, tickled into brightness.
As you take in this Leo fire, let yourself do what makes you feel exuberant. What areas of your life do you want to take dancing under the sunlight? Where is your creativity bubbling up? Focus on those life-giving energies as you laugh with La Nena during this time of unabashed optimism. Go out to see and be seen, be generous. Be the light.
This is you in all your gorgeousness, amorcito! Enjoy it!
