The High Priestess…

I love a little High Priestess energy emerging on Monday! Expect a sign from the universe today as she works her magic. There is definite information from beyond that would like to felt, heard or seen, so make sure all senses are heightened as you move through the remainder of your day. Take the time to tune into the tiny details of the world around you, because she is often illusive in her messaging. In fact, the real message may appear in plain sight, but as a puzzle that needs solving. So, be perceptive and ready to decipher what comes your way and you will be rewarded! What you discover will be incredibly useful for you - it may be the information you have been waiting fo, so please do not dismiss it.Oh, I can’t wait to hear what comes through for you, my friends! Magic IS everywhere.

Three of Wands…

Seasonal transitions present so much magic for you to use! Now that the holidays have made Spring official, it’s time for you to tap into the energy of the flowers as they bud and allow yourself to open up to the expanse of what is possible. This week is your week to dream bigger, look further and begin to imagine what you might create in the months ahead. The earth is calling you to be explored and your heart is on fire with desire for openness and excitement, so let yourself prepare for more than what you think you can. Adventure awaits, but you have to believe you are deserving of such passion. As you start to notice the landscape around you morph and grow, it will seem incomprehensible to you, but as small as you are in relation to the world around you, you are also an integral part of it. It’s crying out to you and you must answer - but the how of it is totally up to you! Light that fire within and face boldly in the direction of the unknown.

“Beauty is nothing more than your burning inner fire.” - Varadaa

The Moon…

The light of Thursday’s Full Moon will follow us into this Spring weekend. As we know the Full Moon can be incredibly powerful, but also quite disruptive. As we slowly move away from that incandescence this weekend, let’s be mindful of our own personal wellbeing. All the questions, ideas and darker thoughts that crawled up to the surface are not meant to be solved or fixed. Any kind of shame or icky feelings surrounding the more animalistic part of your nature should be embraced as valid, forgivable and useful. Any mood swings should be allowed. If you don’t feel like doing something, don’t do it. I you want to do something, but feel like you don’t have the time - make the time. Be compassionate with yourself, so you can balance the darker side of who you in the shadow of this waning Moon.

The Knight of Pentacles…

You seek adventure. But, as you are trotting out into the dusty frontier, it’s important to pause and reflect on your surroundings. Feel a bit of gratitude for the simplicity of your existence. You have what you need to advance - a heroic confidence, a stoic dedication, true grit and the open road. How you choose to use your strengths is up to you, but you have the strength within to accomplish what you need an want. A new direction is not a threat, it is a calling. The expanse of the countryside calling you toward honor, sacrifice and ownership. Ride yourself, without fear or expectation into the blazing sunset and appreciate every experience along the trail.

The High Priestess & The Wheel of Fate…

Feeling a bit lost on a Tuesday? I woke up with doubts and stress myself, but I decided I wanted to explore the disorientation and take a darker trip into the confusion. I pulled out my Dark Wood Tarot Deck (deliciously designed by my dear friend Sasha Graham) because I knew this very deep deck would hold a resonant message and it delivered. Here it is, my friends…Something you innately know or understand has the power to spin you and maybe a few others in a new direction. Even though you feel a dark fog surround you, the light within is creeping out with magic you have yet to use. Tap into the hidden library in your mind and spirit and explore the information you have kept stored on the darkest, dustiest shelves. Let this knowledge remind you that you have more power than you know. How can you use this rediscovered sense of self to spin the wheel in your favor? Yes, you will have to shake up the creatures that lurk all around you, but are they there to benefit your journey? If not, sent them flying as you spin your new energy with abandon. Feeling lost can bring you to the truth of who you are and what you already know will release you.

The Sun - Reversed…

Some say the Sun Card represents the individuality of self. When we think of sunlight rising, circling the earth and setting, you can see how we are all a reflection of of the light of its daily journey. Sometimes, things can be a bit cloudy and we can lose sight of what we truly have to offer as individuals - the magic glow of our own uniqueness can find itself concealed by the cold shade. But, just as the sun is always there - that part of self we feel disconnected from still burns underneath the surface. So, you see, it’s your choice - share the bright light of your individuality with positivity and optimism, or keep it hidden away when you are feeling the uncertainty of life. True, sometimes we have to self-protect. but today, this Monday, see if you can ditch the negative approach for a more optimistic and bright understanding of who you truly are.. That sunlight within is still there, you just need to believe it.

“There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” - Amanda Gorman

We began our weekend with a push to indulge ourselves and NOT think about spending. However, this week we will emerge from this fog of heavenly self-pampering into the reality of financial planning. Ugh. I know - no fun and especially just in time for taxes. If you haven’t addressed your taxes yet, this is the week to get to work. But, while you are there, you might as well absorb the wider scope of the realities of your personal, financial security. This can sting a bit, but you must gain a greater understanding over your financial trajectory! So, take it all in and take it in stride just enough to make note of all of the changes you need to make to take control of your wealth. You may be thinking “What wealth?!?” I had that initial response to the messaging from this card, so the first question to ask yourself…what does wealth mean to you? (Pro tip - it doesn’t have to be all about the Benjamins). AND by defining what it is you truly want from the idea of financial security, how might you make the necessary changes to achieve it? Stop the whining - get to work. You hold far more power in this realm than you have yet to realize…

Three of Cups…

Drink up the feeling of spring and welcome the idea of gathering - it’s time to make some plans. As you look ahead to Spring and Summer, create a personal itinerary of the three events you can design and execute to connect with friends and loved ones! This is merely a start of what you are capable of - just three ambitiously delightful ideas that you can designate and begin to set in motion. You know how joyful it is to have events to look forward do and the more playful and creative you can be in your execution, the more cheer all around. So, what’s it going to be? A garden party, a girls weekend getaway? Oh, maybe a picnic gathering in a fancy park or a beach day? Perhaps you can even make one of your plans a fundraiser, to spread a little love? A boating trip? A visit in the country? Hiking, biking? Fancy roof-top bar? So many things you can plan. Get them on your calendar and begin to spread the word for those you would like to join in. Plant the seeds now for your Spring and Summer to blossom with togetherness…

Endings are difficult, but beautiful. When you can’t let go of the story in your mind that replays your understanding of how you find yourself in this final moment, the thoughts will pierce your whole experience and cloud your mind. Yes, it’s painful to say goodbye, but why would you want to rob yourself of the full palate of colors that are revealed in that farewell? Welcome this ending - turn your fact to it with openness and readiness. Just think of all of the sunsets that have stained your heart with magnificence. It’s time to approach this current conclusion with the same reverence and appreciation. Lose the rethinking of how you might have or could have done things differently. Enjoy the finality. Absorb it fully, so that you may remember every gorgeous hue. When you finally release yourself in this way, you will sigh in relief and smile as you wait for the dawn.

“Sunsets are proof that endings can often be beautiful too.” -Beau Taplin

The ups and downs of managing your emotions can be both delightful and unpredictable. In order to find balance you will find yourself leading in different ways - sometimes that forcefully creative energy emerges and you squelch the real heartfelt feeling that you think might threaten your vision. In other circumstances, you allow the outpouring of empathy, compassion and emotional connection lead the way. Today, you may have felt a little tug of war within - unsure of what element of your feelings was meant to be in charge. On days like this, you may just have to take each wave as it comes. But, upon reflection, you should celebrate your elevated buoyancy as you drifted through some very ambiguous territory. Before going to sleep tonight thank all of the versions of you that set sail despite some truly murky feelings. Also, take a moment to forgive any part of yourself that holds guilt for feeling and reacting based on those feelings. Then, as you close your eyes, feel the gentle rocking of your own emotional ocean lull you to sleep. Sweet dreams!

The King of Wands - Reversed…

Happy Monday! Feeling frustrated already? I know you know how to fix something that the higher-ups have done a number on. Creativity and vision aren’t always executed well by people who are not willing to let go and collaborate. It’s incredibly unfortunate, but in this case, you will only drive yourself crazy if you try to step in and help. They will shoot you down or worse. They may steal whatever information you share and declare creative ownership of what you have to bring to the table. So, lay low - let it all unravel. They will soon come to you for what they need and then you will be able to set the terms and protect your own worth. Until then, you have better things to do with your time than insert yourself to save those who have too much of an ego to even recognize that they need saving. So, relax for now. It’s not worth all the drama….yet.

The Lovers - Reversed…

Spring is in the air and this week your love is growing in a wild way. Is this a good or a bad thing? Hard to say, at this point and it might be too early to pass judgement. But, whether you are deeply involved, freshly engaged or just letting your eyes and heart wander in a specific direction, your love is blossoming with a certain sense of danger. This danger is thrilling and fun, but also potently poisonous. As outside threats materialize your energy makes you feel like you are suspended in mid-air, the sudden jeopardy will make your heart skip a beat. You will find yourself clinging to that person, or that idea of that person with precarious abandon. That juicy feeling that leaves you believing that you can’t get close enough can also become be the biggest enemy to your connection. So relish the unknown forces that are pushing you closer together, but don’t forget you may need even more than a momentary thrill to nurture this untamed passion. Desperation is a powerful aphrodisiac, but if you long to maintain what you have, you may find you have to cultivate it.

The Ace of Swords…

You have so many thoughts swirling about in your mind, but this weekend a specific idea crowns your head with incredible promise. If you want to greet a new dawn in your life - the idea for how to make it happen is on the horizon this weekend. This notion will appear to you almost out of the blue and catch you quite off-guard. Though it may be ignited by something that happens or a person you meet, it will be completely and wonderfully 100% your idea. Whatever that strange and mysterious idea is, it is absolutely worth investing in. And by investing, I mean investing of self dedication. Commit to the work that will make this idea truly shine and you will be rewarded in ways you have not yet imagined. This weekend is your chance to spark something that will bring clarity and prestige to your world, so be open and aware and do not dismiss any of your random thoughts - they just might prove to be brilliant.

Three Card Thursday…

Three cards jumped out and wanted to be seen this morning. There is a kind of emotional stubbornness that is cutting us off from a more thoughtful and abundant existence. It’s true, we feel satisfied in this moment and perhaps a bit triumphant, but internally we are refusing to let go of what we have accomplished and this is keeping us from a greater, more powerful exterior. Feeling fulfilled is swell, but what if there’s even more? Our need to control and protect this level of security threatens to limit our personal growth. Release that closed off world view, recognize that all good things will not last forever, and begin to invite abundance and understand of the depths of what is possible. Soon, you will not only approach these two energies, but use them to your advantage for self-expansion. And this will lead you to the idea that sharing, guiding and providing in a compassionate way, holds so much more fulfillment than you could ever imagine.

“When we live generously, with an abundance mentality, what we give away will multiply.” - Henri Nouwen

King of Cups…

Today you might have to step up and take control of an emotional situation that has been trailing you. You will be confronted with that person or circumstance you just couldn’t deal with in at the time because of the fragility of the moment. Don’t panic. You have evolved to a higher level of emotional understanding. Ground yourself, breathe and take in what is being shared or discovered. Let it wash over you like water rushing through a stream or waves gently rolling to shore. Use this oscillation to your advantage and let the tumult of the instant nourish a deeper understanding of who you have been, who you are now and who you will become. Take ownership, but do not give in. Be the king of your own heart by making it clear that you are in charge. Then, take the time to be proud of the even manner in which you handled such a delicate conflict.

The Devil (Reversed) into The Five of Cups (Reversed)…

Trying to turn over a new leaf? Don’t let guilt or shame pull you into the depths of emotional turmoil. In fact, this Tuesday may provide a chance for you to kiss regret goodbye. Don’t let your heart get ensnared in a web that will keep bringing you to sorrow - turn yourself around and face the sun. But, you know this already. It’s just become so easy for you to stay in a place of fear and doubt. You’re better than this. So, embrace all the good that comes your way today and use it as the life line you need to pull you out of this trench. You are ready. Let the cycle that holds you back fall away as you rise above it all.

The Ten of Cups…

Make your Monday a Wonderland of possibilities! Manifesting what you want begins with the very first step of dreaming up exactly what you desire. Why not initiate this energy with your own magic making spell? To start your week with flare and encourage personal fulfillment, plan yourself an after-dinner tea party. Make yourself a delicious cup of flavorful tea and take the time to savor it. Feel the warmth of the cup in your hands and let that warmth fill your heart. Smell it’s intoxicatingly sweet fragrance and imagine all of the sweet and succulent joys you would like to invite to your table. Taste the warm, juicy spices it fills you with and feel, in your blood, the many ways you might spice up your own existence. As you focus on this delight, write down a list of your own that you would like to manifest. Your tea-party of one will soon welcome so much more activity and amusement - which the potency of your spell can bring. Spring is starting to breeze in and you can raise your cup to honor its arrival and welcome newness of spirit. Why not use this moment to make a little magic for yourself?

Strength…

This week you will finally be able to reclaim the pieces of you that make you who you truly are. You will feel triumphantly fulfilled as you embrace the wildest, inmost values you keep hidden away and display your healthiest heart unapologetically. This experience will come with challenges - self acceptance, self love, and above all recognizing that you hold within you all that you need to be successful. Be kind to yourself as the rawest and most beautiful version of you rises to the surface. You are stronger than you think. You are stronger than you know. When you can finally let out a big roar of self-approval, it will echo through the world with quiet reverberation. Let your true spirit shine.

The World…

I pulled this card this morning and then I had a reading and it re-emerged in the most exquisite and meaningful way. The World wants you to know that you are at the heart of the universe. She reminds you that your possibility is limitless and your direction is unending. It is not your obligation to understand every single tiny detail that life presents, but to experience it with an open heart and mind. She longs for you to suspend yourself above heartache, worry and doubt and to spin into the cosmos and dance among the glimmering stars. She reminds you that you are a part of something greater, something indescribable and incomprehensible, so believe in the impossible and dream in alignment with the vastness of the heavens. Happy Saturday, my magic makers. Don’t be afraid to shine.

The Devil…

Calling all Fallen Angels - this is your weekend to bring a little more of your dark-side out to play! A little trouble-making may be needed. If you long to liven things up, take control of the people you encounter and lead them on a forbidden path of mischief. Do what you want. Say what you want. Do and say what others only dream they could. And, have fun going after everything you want. Sometimes, you gotta mix in more vice to balance out that virtue, so start tonight by encouraging your confidants to join you as you turn down the lights and let your shadow self take the lead. “The Devil made me do it…”

“Here's a rule I recommend: Never practice two vices at once.” ― Tallulah Bankhead
