When I started turning over our cards for the week I felt the excitement rising: the gloriously fulfilling Ten of Cups followed by the free and celebratory Four of Wands? And then… womp, the grief of the Five of Cups. Certainly not the rising crescendo of joy I’m sure we’d all appreciate. Yet there’s a […] More
There are times in life when the clouds begin to part and the murkiness of a transition, conflict, or challenge subsides. This week is one of those times, as The Lovers brings its energizing zest to a new chapter of our lives. The clouds, however, will be dissipating at different rates for each of us. […] More
Sometimes when I do these readings, a phrase comes into mind that sums up the theme of the cards. The one this week? “Surprising progress.” I’m seeing this in our final card, The Nine of Wands, and in many ways we’re walking backwards into the awareness of a rather substantial personal achievement. Getting there, however, […] More
Okay, friends. We have an unusually straightforward reading this week: Embracing our ability to make choices around our resources is leading to growth and action. Not so hard, huh? Reading done? Not quite yet… Before we get into the details, I’d like to say that, reading beyond the cards, this is a time to enjoy […] More
Maybe it’s because she’s named Pizza, and she knows I’m not fond of pizza (I know…weird). Or maybe she’s only interested in my son. Perhaps she smells my cat. Whatever the case, Pizza and I were not off to a great start this week. Pizza is my son’s cat. He was out of town, so […] More
I’ve been thinking about the inherent melancholy of fall a lot lately. Maybe because yearning and pining are some of my favorite activities; there’s something so delicious about the tension between wanting something and not having it, witnessing change and being aware you can’t stop it, the push and pull of loss, growth, and change. […] More
Hoo boy, friends! This is a week to buckle in and get focused. While the energies here may not seem compatible at first glance, there’s a path for us to engage with these cards that will result in a satisfying conclusion. It won’t be easy, however, and it will take some serious finessing and mindfulness. […] More
I was struggling to start this forecast for the strange reason that it was too simple, to the point where entering the space of the reading felt nearly impossible. If you can sum up something in one sentence, why go any further? Well, this is tarot after all, and each reading is its own world. […] More
What do you do when you’re looking for a feeling? The Four of Cups sees us starting the week with a nagging sensation that something’s missing. We’re yearning for something in the realm of the cups suit – love, connection, spirituality, or intuition – but we’re not sure how to articulate it just yet. In […] More
I am so glad to see the Queen of Wands back in our reading for the week. I’ll be honest; while I love this card, I was really not feeling it last week. Charismatic ease and vivacious individuality were not shining through into my everyday life with ease! But because of this, I found myself […] More
We have a fascinating synchronicity at work in this forecast with two cards from our November monthly forecast start off our reading: the Nine of Swords and Judgment. Okay, tarot, I’m listening… This week we’re touching the source of our discomfort directly. What change are you recognizing in your life that’s activating sadness, angst, resistance, […] More
When doing a Tarot reading for ourselves, we often find that the chatter of our rational mind invariably intrudes, calling out its hopes and fears and shouting down the soft, subtle voice of our intuition. Because of this, it is important to try to find out how we can silence the voice of our rational […] More
