Queen of Pentacles…

Hello Queens — take a moment today to rest fully in your power by doing something that makes you feel like the radiant soul you are! Not sure what that looks like for you? The possibilities are endless, but whatever you choose, let it be indulgent, intentional, and worthy of your brilliance. Savor the experience with all your senses. Embrace the richness of your life — squeeze every last drop of sweetness from it and sip the beautiful wine you've created.

“True luxury is being able to own your time—to do what you want, when you want.”— Unknown

The Devil…

The old saying, "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't," is deeply flawed. Why remain in a toxic situation just to avoid the possibility of facing another? Yes, the unknown carries risk—but it also holds the potential for freedom. Staying in silent misery out of fear isn’t strength; it’s surrender. And from experience, I can tell you: the longer you stay, the harder it becomes to leave.

Whatever form your “smiling demon” takes, you have the power to walk away. And if you encounter something worse, you have the strength to free yourself again. You are not powerless. You have agency over your life. Don’t let anyone drag you deeper into the flames. Choose yourself. Choose liberation.

"Familiar pain is still pain."– Unknown

Judgement and Reversed Three of Wands…

You don’t need to chase distant dreams or wait for some far-off moment for your desires to take shape. Instead, direct your creative energy inward — toward yourself — and you’ll begin to see the transformation already unfolding. Let go of the belief that what you seek is out of reach. Trust that by freeing your inner spirit, you’re already in the process of creating it. The magic within you is eager to guide you toward your most authentic path. You don’t have to go anywhere else to experience the freedom life is offering you — it’s already right here. Happy Tuesday, magic ones!

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Six of Swords…

Whether you are on a figurative or metaphorical journey - travel light, dear friends. You're clearly heading toward a brighter path, with meaningful and beautiful experiences ahead. You're not alone—you’re surrounded by support and protection. Let go of fear and welcome ease. This journey offers a chance for deeper insight and a more radiant version of yourself. Keep moving forward, and release what no longer serves you along the way. Happy travels!

King of Cups (Reversed) & Queen of Cups (Reversed)…

Here’s a perfect example of how your deck knows best and will absolutely be sure that you understand this. I pulled the King of Cups (Reversed) this morning and I was like, “Ugh - I don’t know…I just want a different message for my day!” So I put it back and shuffled and pulled again and there was the Queen of Cups (Reversed) staring back at me. I literally said to my deck out loud - “Okay! Fine. I get it”. Whatever it is you are up to - don’t lead with emotion - take the feeling out of it. Your life right now calls for logic, strategy and action - not heart. Your heart will naturally be connected to all you do, but sometimes, it doesn’t need to be at the forefront of what you do. Note taken…..sigh….

Nine of Wands & Eight of Cups…

You have stood as a fierce guardian at the gates of your sacred realm, shielding the wonder you’ve nurtured with unwavering strength. Your efforts have not been in vain—for within your care, something luminous has blossomed, yearning to flourish. Yet, in your valiant defense, you’ve turned from the quiet whispers of your own heart, where shadowy fears still dwell in silence.

Now, the universe beckons you to release what no longer sings in harmony with your soul. But remember—what you’ve grown is rare, enchanted, and it calls for your full dedication in return. Let your emotions flow like moonlight into your actions; there lies your true magic. When you dare to look within, not with fear but with wonder, you will see only stardust and spellwork. You will remember what has always been true: you are, and have always been, a unicorn. Sweet dreams, magical creatures!

Knight of Pentacles…

Your journey is driven by purpose, and your noble heart is eager to press on—but take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve already come and to thoughtfully consider the path ahead. As you gaze forward, you’ll see peaks and valleys, unexpected turns and challenges—but don’t be discouraged. Look back at the road behind you and recognize the strength it took to get here. You’ve overcome so much already, and you’re more than prepared for what lies ahead. Embrace the resilience and wisdom that have carried you to this point. Let that power guide every step forward with bold, unshakable confidence. Happy Monday, warriors!

Two of Cups (Tarot) & Letter (Lenormand)…

You're basking in the warmth, love, and healing energy of someone else’s presence—it’s nothing short of magical. But this heart-expanding moment is also stirring up tender thoughts of someone (or a few people) who once meant the world to you, though time and distance have crept in. So… why not reach out? Rekindle that connection and remind them of the powerful bond you once shared. Sure, a quick text or DM works—but imagine the impact of something more heartfelt and creative. Write to them! A handwritten note or whimsical card can bring comfort in a way digital words just can’t. Make it an artful expression—craft something personal, something beautiful. And prepare yourself—the love you send is likely to come rushing back your way.

Reversed Seven of Swords & The Moon…

The mask has slipped, and that ever-smiling, trusted companion has shown their true colors—what a twist in your tale! But don’t see this as a dreadful detour. No, no! Consider it an invitation to dive headfirst into the wild, uncharted waters of your soul, lantern in hand and wonder in heart. Let those tender feelings you’ve kept tucked away come dancing to the surface. Who knows what curious longings and peculiar little creatures you’ve been harboring in the attic of your spirit? Let them stretch, yawn, and scamper into the light! There’s something oddly delightful—and deliciously revealing—about discovering the true face of someone you thought you had neatly figured out. So go ahead, revel in the odd magic of it all.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”

Three of Wands (Tarot) & Woman (Lenormand)…

A spell of creativity swirls in the ether, shimmering with potential — yet a flicker of uncertainty dances in its wake. Do not let this tension cast a shadow over your weekend, nor allow the rush of time to sweep you past the garden of small wonders. Pause. Breathe in the scent of possibility. The blossoms of this enchanted endeavor have already opened their petals; soon, they shall be ripe for harvest.

What you need now is a sacred moment with a wise soul — an old companion whose presence soothes your spirit and sharpens your vision. Their magic lies in helping you anchor your dreams, and reminding you that what’s coming isn’t just exciting... it’s destined.

“Could it be? Yes, it could.

The Emperor…

A lot of people crave positions of power, but only a few are truly suited for that kind of leadership. Power has a way of revealing—and sometimes distorting—who we really are, especially if we step into it without clear, honest intentions. If you feel the pull to take charge or rise to the top, it’s worth pausing to reflect on your deepest motivation. Just because we might see solutions more clearly than others doesn’t automatically mean we’re the right ones to lead. Maybe we are—but the real question is: Do we have the strength and integrity to lead for the collective good, rather than for our own desires or ego? Before making moves and taking control, make sure you can answer that honestly.

The High Priestess - Reversed…

I had one of those days where my self-image took a hit — caught in a loop of scrutinizing my body, mourning the way it once looked and felt. And at this stage in life, it’s easy to believe I’ll never see that version again. But then I remembered: we, as women, are conditioned from the very beginning to critique and compare our appearance, no matter our age. So, was I ever truly content?

Right then, a card appeared — a timely reminder of my why. It snapped me back. These feelings? They’re not entirely mine. They’re a product of a culture that thrives on keeping us fixated on our bodies, our hair, our faces — all to distract us from something far more powerful: the beauty and force that lives within. That sacred feminine intuition — it’s not just real, it’s revolutionary. It’s our secret weapon. And we are the ones who wield it.

So when you feel yourself spiraling, give that warrior inside you some grace. Know that these lies only have power if we choose to believe them. Refuse to buy into the BS. Stand tall in your truth. And let your inner knowing shake the foundations of everything that tries to diminish your light.

Ten of Pentacles - Three of Wands…

Craving a dash of daring to whisk you from your cozy nook and splash your life with vibrant hues? Ah, the siren call of distant lands and untold tales—how it tickles the imagination! We often believe we must journey far and wide to uncover what we think is missing. And yes, it's delightful to let the mind wander to fantastical "what ifs," and sometimes, absolutely necessary to hoist the sails toward mysterious horizons to stretch our minds and grow our hearts.

But more often than not, the path winds us gently back to familiar faces, warm embraces, and the glittering treasure of those who cherish us. So go on—dream with wild abandon today! But let your dreams be like fireflies, lighting up the magic that already surrounds you.

Two of Pentacles…

You're standing at a crossroads, with lots of possibilities swirling around you—and despite the uncertainty, you're feeling hopeful. Then suddenly, the energy shifts and things start to feel a bit shaky, stirring up some anxiety. But take heart—you are on the right track. You have the strength, resilience, and spirit to navigate whatever comes your way. Staying buoyant is essential right now, so keep steering toward your goals. You're incredibly close to the state of flow you've been working so hard to reach. Don't let the changing tides shake your confidence—stay grounded, stay calm—you’ve got this.

The Strength Card and “No” (Lenormand)…

Spring is all around us, and this weekend we're soaking up the radiant warmth of our own inner glow. Our gentle, open-hearted energy will naturally attract admiration, as we settle into a rhythm that uplifts and inspires. Let your heart bloom like the flowers in full display, and embrace the magic of your unique presence.

At the same time, your inner guidance will be clear and strong—listen to it. This weekend may call for setting healthy boundaries with a simple, confident “No.”
“No, that’s not for me.”
“No, I’m unavailable.”
“No, I have other plans.”

Protect your time and energy from anything that doesn’t align with your joy or intentions. You’ve earned this moment to fully enjoy your own light—on your own terms.

King of Wands (Reversed)…

After last night’s reversed Queen of Wands, I am disheartened to see that we now have a menacing reversed King of Wands appearing in our world. Someone is trying to take control again—but this time, it’s not subtle. It’s bold and right in our faces. In some ways, that makes it easier to deal with—we can see it clearly, name it, and prepare for it. But don’t underestimate them. This person carries a fierce, intense energy that can still throw us off course, even when we know what they’re doing. So stand your ground. Don’t shrink in the face of power fueled by your own inner doubts. Rise above it—or, if needed, step away and let it burn itself out.

Queen of Wands (Reversed)…

You might not realize it, but someone close to you is burning with jealousy—and you're the one fueling their fire. What makes this situation especially tricky is that this person holds influence in your circle and knows how to play the game well. They're subtle, calculating, and not to be underestimated. Be cautious around them. Keep your plans, thoughts, and personal details to yourself—anything you share could be twisted and used against you. They want what you have, and they’re not above manipulation to get it, even if it means targeting the people you care about. Stay alert and be ready to defend what's yours. Don’t let them snatch your crown.

The World & The Nine of Swords…

I know things feel heavy and uncertain right now, but please don’t shut yourself off from the world, my friend. There is so much beauty and potential waiting for you. You can feel it deep down—it's there—but you're not fully letting yourself reach for it. You believe you're seeing your situation clearly, but you're not seeing it through the full lens of your spirit. Your thoughts are clouding your vision, pulling you away from the true path that's calling you forward. Remember: your thoughts are not facts. Open your heart, open your eyes—and let that light guide you out of the darkness. The world has extraordinary gifts waiting for you, more than you can even imagine.

Eight of Pentacles - Reversed…

There are times when you pour everything you have into your work—your heart, your energy, your focus—and still, a small oversight can throw everything off course. It’s frustrating, even disheartening. But that effort wasn’t wasted. The progress you’ve made still matters. Now, the task shifts: it’s time to face the challenge of fixing that minor mistake. It might feel daunting, and it’s never easy to be caught off guard by something you missed. But you can fix it. Take a deep breath, gear up for the work ahead, and trust yourself. You've got this.

The Page of Cups…

Your tender heart is quietly asking for your attention—it needs care, compassion, and a little space to breathe. All day, you’ve carried a subtle ache—hopeful, yet uncertain. It’s time to offer yourself the kind of grace that rekindles belief—belief in love, in people, and in your own resilience. This isn’t about surface-level self-care or fleeting comforts. What you truly need is deep understanding—a moment of clarity about what your well-being actually looks like, and a gentle promise to honor and protect it. Tonight, let yourself dream freely, like a child untouched by worry. And when morning comes, take your first step on a new path—one that leads toward real healing.
