We have three powerful cards today. Ace of Wands, Queen of Wands and King of Pentacles. This aligns with the energies of new growth, leadership and success. The timeline for the Queen of Wands and King of Pentacles is March through May. This coincides with Spring 2022.
There is plenty of passion and motivation here, that’s for sure. Keep in mind, upright Queens and Kings denote a wise, mature energy. They are masters of their element and know how to harness its power over the long term for a favorable outcome. These cards indicate someone with a lot of energy and drive. Pace yourself this week. If you are a business owner, manager, etc. Be sure to delegate if need be.
In love, these cards can indicate two people that share the same vision for success. They are very different, but it works. For example, one person is fiery & creative, the other is strong in business & money matters. Perhaps an Aries / Taurus combination? If you are single, you may meet someone that is a compliment to your personal strengths in the Spring/Summer of 2022.
Final note: Remember those candles and bath bombs that you received as Christmas gifts? Well, this week is your opportunity to put them to good use. Slow down and engage in some well-deserved self-care. Give yourself some alone time to allow creative ideas to flow. Be sure to write them down. You have some great ideas that have the potential for success in the upcoming year.
We have the Five of Cups, The World and The Page of Wands making their appearance this week. You are being urged to step out of a repeating karmic cycle. But keep in mind Venus just turned retrograde, she will be in this shadow energy for the next six weeks or so (until the end of January 2022). Any moves or changes should be carefully thought out. There is an air of seduction and possible emotional manipulation when Venus is in retrograde. Be smart. Watch your step.
One question to ask yourself this week is, what is the true underlying motivation behind the drive to achieve a particular goal or to make a change. Remove the rose-colored glasses and be honest with yourself.
There is the potential for an “aha” moment this week!
We have the oracle card “Intellect” grounding this reading. This is your message that more information is required. The Page of Wands offers us inspiration and new vision. However, remember this is a young energy. It can be a bit naïve. Knowledge is power, do your research.
Some of you may be too close to a situation emotionally and are finding it difficult to move forward. If this is the case, the oracle card “Intellect” is urging you to seek unbiased advice from someone you trust and/or professional council in the form of therapy or legal advice. 2021 has been an extremely difficult year. Ask for help if you need it.
Traditionally, the winter season is a time for dormancy, rest and reflection. The time for new growth coincides with Aries season around mid-March, which is Spring. This is the “true” new year as dictated by mother nature. The Page of Wands falls in the calendar period of mid-June to mid-September. I was compelled to deliver this message regarding time. So this message is most likely relevant to some of you out there.
Six of cups can indicate the return of people from the past….
Video version of blog post
I got the feeling that somebody needed to see this today….
The holidays… It’s not surprising that the six of cups comes up quite a bit in my readings this time of year within the context of relationships and ex-lovers. It’s easy to get swept up in the nostalgia of the season. Especially now, as depending on where you live, things may be opening back up. Friends, family, wine, twinkling lights, smiling faces, laughter, presents, mistletoe. There you are, holding a glass of wine, eating hors d’oeuvres having a good time.
The doorbell rings, and guess who comes walking in. Looking better than ever. Your eyes meet and here they come. Your heart skips a beat. Crap….
A casual conversation which leads to the question “Are you seeing anyone?” “No.” “Are you?” “No.” Or perhaps they say “not really”. You’re not sure what that means but you let it go. “Can I get you another drink?” “Sure.”
Next thing you know the night progresses and in a moment of weakness you do something that you regret later. I’m sure ya’ll meant what you said during those moments of passion. This time it will be different…
How many times as a tarot reader have I heard this story? Lots. Have I been there? Sure. We all have. I get it.
However, this time it will be different! Because you saw this post. Forewarned is forearmed!
If I have caught your attention, this is your message. Stop and think. Remember why they became your ex in the first place! They had their chance and blew it. And believe me, they don’t just look good to you. YOU LOOK GOOD TO THEM!!!
Have you forgotten how awesome you are? You are light years ahead of who you were back then. Of course they want you back!
Breathe, take a moment.
Remember how much inner work you did to get over that relationship? The strength it took for you to patch yourself back together. How you believed them when they said that YOU were the problem. As they gaslighted you and told you that you were crazy or paranoid. When you wondered if there truly was something wrong with you. Remember, when your chest literally hurt from the heartbreak, the tears, the anger. The times they ghosted you. When they made you feel like you were not worthy of love. The valuable insights you received from the experience. How you love yourself more than ever now because of it.
I am reminding you because I remember. I remember our tarot readings while you were going through all this. The tears, the denial. As you slowly began to realize how how beautiful, strong and powerful you are. That you never needed them. THEY NEEDED YOU. I watched your eyes light up as you came to this realization. You learned that self-love is the most powerful love of all. I watched you as you transformed into your own best friend. And that this is what opens the doors to healthy relationships. And that it is better to be alone, than to be with someone that is toxic for your soul.
You trust your intuition. You are much more confident now. You smile more. You may have even dated a few other people since then. We both laugh when the Universe sends you someone similar to your ex to test you to see if you are paying attention. Sort of like a pop quiz. Of course, you pass with flying colors. Only those worthy of all that you have to offer are allowed in. You send the rest packing as soon as the red flag appears.
Wow. You’ve come a long way! Tell me again, why are you going back to them?
Tarot message for this week. Expect the unexpected.
The Tower indicates there may be a shakeup this week. The four of pentacles is letting you know that there is a particular focus on finances. Plan a budget and stick to it. Be very mindful of the frenetic energy swirling around us this time of year that encourages people to stress out and overspend.
The Tower and the four of pentacles are encouraging you be frugal with your finances, so that you are not caught off guard should something unexpected come up. Do not spend money on the premise of an expected bonus, job or raise. It may not come through or may be delayed. If extra finances do come in, consider putting it in savings, instead of spending it. Fours correspond with The Emperor in the Major Arcana. This denotes a mature, responsible approach in regards to a situation. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. And you will weather any storm that comes about with stability and grace.
Some of you may have a sudden insight and make the decision this week to break out of traditional holiday festivities this year. Most likely due to finances and/or travel restrictions. Sit down and come up with a plan that works for you. This is a practical matter, not one of the heart. Some of you will incorporate technology into your plans. Although you may receive some resistance at first from those you love, you are in a strong position to shift this matter into a positive direction. A win-win compromise that is more in alignment with our current social paradigm.
I hope this message was helpful, have a great week!
Tarot cards for this week: Ace of Pentacles, Eight of Swords, Rhino Spirit
The tarot cards today are indicating that there is an opportunity for some of you this week. But it will require you to step outside your comfort zone. Rhino spirit is your message that you are strong and capable. Show the Universe that you are serious about making a change in your circumstances, by taking the initiative to get the ball rolling. If an opportunity comes your way, especially in the area of work, career, money, business, etc. don’t let your self-imposed fears or perceived limitations stop you from acting on it.
Astrology wise, we have both the sun and mercury in optimistic Sagittarius. And even though the image we see in the eight of swords looks disheartening, the planetary energies of this card is Jupiter in Gemini, which is the opposite zodiac sign of Sagittarius. So there is quite a bit of energetic support this week that is making it’s appearance in the cards! Take advantage of it!
When the eight of swords appears in a reading, it indicates that a change in perspective is needed to turn a situation around. Our lady in bondage is required to save herself by calling up determination and courage from within, to take that first step out of her self-imposed prison. I see the Ace of Pentacles here as a metaphorical “carrot” dangling in front of her. To encourage her to remove the blindfold and proceed forward. She will then see there is a light at the end of the tunnel. But it will not come to her. She must go to it. Sagittarius is a sign of a positive mental outlook, as well as forward momentum.
The Rhino Spirit oracle card as the base energy of the reading, came out to encourage you. Rhino energy breaks through limitations and obstacles. However, all movement requires a catalyst. Take that first step. You will see it is not as difficult or as scary as you think it is.
Sometimes the best thing that ever happened to us, lies just one step on the other side of our fears.
In other words, feel the fear and do it anyway.
Have a great week!

You may be feeling a little “stuck” or frustrated this week. Expect delays regarding the home, finances, news on a job opportunity, inheritance or a court case. Tensions may be high amongst family members. Stay out of the fray as much as you can
Some of you may be frustrated at your current circumstances which stemmed from influences that were outside of your control. Most likely this has something to do with finances, as we have the ten of pentacles reversed in this reading. It is what it is. But you do have an opportunity here to gather your resources and to come up with a solid plan as to how you can successfully turn this situation around.
I feel that others of you may be on the verge of a breakthrough or you will receive some news soon. But as of this week, you need to be patient. You have sacrificed quite a bit and are ready to reap some rewards! You will, but only if you allow the process to mature. To act hastily, may jeopardize all the of hard work you have put in so far. Stick to your strategy.
Video version of this week’s postQueen of Swords reversed came up this week! Be aware…
This week’s message is to protect your energy in your “circle” i.e., the area of relationships. This does not necessarily only pertain to partners in love, this can apply to any area in one’s life wherein you are relating with others. Any group dynamic: Work, family, business partners, departments, group projects, etc.
The Queen of Swords reversed, can indicate someone who is overly critical, demanding and/or insecure. This person may treat others unkindly and then make excuses for their behavior. In a work, group or career situation, the Queen of Swords reversed is the person who stabs others in the back to get ahead. Or she may put others down for their ideas and then turn around and present them as her own to receive the credit for them. She may abuse her authority and/or position. This person feels threatened when others are in the limelight. The Queen of Swords reversed has a lot of insecurities underneath her persona. Make no mistake though, she got where she is by being smart and cunning. Do not underestimate this person. This is someone who needs to be handled very carefully. They can do a lot of damage with that sword.
As we move on, next we see the six of wands, in the center of the reading, riding towards the three of pentacles. Protect your precious ideas and plans. If you are currently on the receiving end of this Queen of Swords reversed energy, know there is a reason for it. You are confident and self-assured because your ideas are good! You may be receiving positive attention and respect from others for them. Perhaps you just got a promotion or are being considered for one. This can be enough to attract the “evil eye” from others that may be envious of your success and/or your current path.
In close, interpersonal relationships, you may have someone around you that tends to be critical of you and/or your ideas. You may want to keep your plans to yourself for now, at least until they are a little further along.
It’s better to share with others “what you have accomplished”, rather than “what you are planning to do”.
Hold your head high and keep moving forward. Above all, do not let negativity from the Queen of Swords reversed creep in, which may tempt you to stoop to their level. The two of swords underneath this reading indicates that one should pause and think before making decisions and/or taking action this week. With the Queen of Swords reversed in this reading, you may not have all the facts, or perhaps the information you have received is incorrect or misguided. On the other hand, it is advised that you keep your own words to a minimum.
So this week, it is advised for you to be aware of whom you share your creative ideas and future plans with. Somebody in your circle may not have your back right now. This is certainly not to make anyone paranoid, just aware. This is a general reading, so this message may or may not be applicable to you. Please use your discernment.
As a final note, today, Mars is in the 4th deacon of Libra. This corresponds to the four of swords. Fiery Mars is being asked to lay low this week. The four of swords is a card of self-care, renewal and also one of tapping into one’s higher self, divine spirit, angels and guides. It is an energy of quiet contemplation. You will be glad that you kept things “cool” this week! We’ve have some interesting astrological transits coming up in November. These energies will very likely disclose some information that will prove revealing to say the least.
I hope this reading was helpful! Have a great week!
If you would like to book a personal reading with me, my contact information is below.
This week the theme is forgiveness. I do not mean forget by any means, but The Hierophant is asking you to come to a deeper understanding of what you have learned and to grow from it.
The Queen of Swords reversed can be an angry, internalized energy. Her bitterness over what happened in the past clouds her judgement. Instead of acknowledging the wisdom of the experience and using it to elevate herself, she keeps her minds eye in the past, wherein her perception of how powerful she truly is becomes distorted.
We see the Knight of Cups riding forward indicating movement. The truth is, no matter how much we long to, we cannot change the past. The full moon in Aries this week on October 20th, which is occurring just a few days before Scorpio season, is encouraging you to initiate a new cycle. If you are resonating with this reading, spirit has been showing you this entire time, that you have what it takes to be your own hero. And the full moon in Aries is giving you the courage to have faith in yourself and to begin the hero’s journey.
Weekly message for 10/04/21: Death & The Hierophant. Two powerful energies!
This week, reassess who you are NOW. Death is a reminder, that the cycles of change are always in motion. Is it time to establish a new paradigm? The Hierophant has showed up in the center of this reading to give you the discipline and focus as well as the acknowledgement of your spiritual sovereignty to do just that. It appears, that the time has come for some of you to clear out the cobwebs of how it’s always been and establish some new ground rules in your life!
The first step is to clean up your space. Do you have things around you that reflect who you USED to be? Clothes, shoes, home décor, books you no longer read, etc. Things you have outgrown. Psychologically, allowing these items to remain in our space, can effect us on a subconscious level. Causing us to procrastinate, when it comes to taking the actions necessary to implement the changes that our soul is calling us to do. Ya’ll know what I am talking about. If you are resonating with this reading, The Hierophant and The Witch’s Hat cards indicate that you have already been receiving the intuitive downloads!
For some of you, these promptings from spirit have given you an amazing amount of vitality. Inspired and energized, you have been ready for this for a while! For others of you, the messages you are receiving may be more difficult to accept. But deep down, you know they are right. Trust it. That there are some areas in your life that need an upgrade to bring it back into balance. Particularly in those areas wherein you may have knowingly or unknowingly given your power away and/or even dimmed your beautiful light so that you would be safe.
But as old clothes eventually go out of style or just no longer fit anymore, neither do some of the agreements, behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, etc. from the past, fit the person that you are NOW. And more importantly, these certainly do not fit the person that you are going to be in the future!
This is an intense week to allow Death to do what it does. Clear out the old, musty debris so new growth can begin. Death and The Hierophant are asking you to have faith in yourself and in the universal transformative cycle of life and death. If you need to talk to someone, The Hierophant can indicate meeting with a member of the clergy, a counselor, a trusted spiritual advisor, or a wise older relative. Speaking to someone and obtaining an outside perspective can prove to be very helpful!
This week, and for some of you, the entire month of October, may be the time to let some things metaphorically die. Especially if they are in conflict with your new, future goals. This is the time to set some healthy boundaries and say no! Call back your power and bring your emotional, spiritual, mental and physical scales back into balance.
Your emotions may be getting in the way of facing a difficult truth or decision. Is it time to move on? You may also be looking at something through the lens of a limited perspective. Lamenting a loss, rather than what you stand to gain. Look around you. It appears there is an opportunity that is waiting for you to notice it. It may require your taking some sort of action and/or think outside the box.
When you see an opportunity take advantage of it. Do not make excuses. For we can always come up with reasons not to do something. If you listen to that inner critic, you may be talking yourself out of just the thing that has the potential of creating better circumstances for you!
Just as the fox uses quick action and its wits to obtain what it needs, now is your time to do the same. Pick up those two cups behind you and find out what treasures are waiting for you inside that castle that is just beyond the bridge over troubled waters.
“If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade” Tom Peters
but you let it go. “Can I get you another drink?” “Sure.”
