Tarot Card of The Week - The World
Card of the week: The World
Song of the week: ‘Requiem Aeternam’ - Jocelyn Pook
The first week of may we make The World’s acquaintance. The World asks us to let go, let live, and find peace in the cycle of life. Allow opportunities for closure and rest. What chapters of life are coming to their conclusion right now? What have you learned? How can you gracefully bid adeiu? And where will you adventure to now? Whenever I see the wise world pop up in a reading, I think he’s also giving us permission to explore ourselves - both within and without. Most often for me, it comes as a physical journey - don’t be afraid to get out and adventure and plan a trip. Where would you like to explore? Although it can be counter-intuitive, it can give you the insight you need right now to move ahead.
Tarot Card of The Week - Ace of Pentacles
Card of the week: Ace of Pentacles
Song of the week: ‘Treasure Hunt’ - Howling Bells
I don’t know about you, but this full moon brought a massive cleansing to my doorstep - the unquenchable crying, can’t-leave-the-house, massive realizations, and catharsis sort. I think this last week was a strange cleansing period for us all, so it makes sense that the Ace of Pentacles appears as our tarot card this week. The Ace of Pentacles brings new opportunities for growth in the material world. What goals have you set for yourself over the last few months? New job? Promotions? Financial opportunity? The Ace of Pentacles as us to open ourselves up to wealth. - which also includes emotional fulfillment. The Ace of Pentacles asks that you tend to the seeds you planted and take the first step toward growing them. What step (yes, even small!) can you take this week to bring you closer to your goals? Don’t get intimidated by the task at hand - try to break it up in to digestible pieces. Small wins! This is the time to get down and dirty and dig in. Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.

The spring holiday season is upon us as is more opportunities for large family gatherings and celebrations. The 10 of cups encourages us to find seek loving support and comfort within our own created families. This is a great week to give and receive love, exchange encouraging words and nurture ourselves and loved ones.

Tarot Card of The Week - Ace of Swords
Card of the week: Ace of Swords
Song of the week: Formation - Beyonce
This week is a time for rest and healing. This month, in honor of Women’s History Month, I’ll be using Our Tarot for all of my weekly readings. This deck, created by Sarah Shipman, connects each card to a historical woman. The Ace of Swords is Mae Jemison, an engineer, physician, businesswoman, and the first black woman to travel in space. Mae is a trailblazer in every sense and has lived a life of adventure and service, always moving forward.
The Ace of Swords, like Mae Jemison, is all about breakthroughs. The Ace of Swords challenges us to find clarity, be bold, and move ahead. This card paired with this week’s full moon and vernal equinox gives a clear message - start dreaming and planning now for the coming season! This week is a great time for strategy and to conceptualize new projects and goals. This is a new beginning. And with all that creative energy, the Ace of Swords asks us to not just dream, but to outline clear, concrete steps to bringing those dreams in to reality. What is sparking your passion? What new projects do you want to start? What does your roadmap look like?
And as you’re doing the work this week, remember Mae’s quote, “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.”

Card of the week: 6 of Swords
Song of the week: Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
This week is a time for rest and healing. This month, in honor of Women’s History Month, I’ll be using Our Tarot for all of my weekly readings. This deck, created by Sarah Shipman, connects each card to a historical woman. The 6 of Swords is Lucy Hicks Anderson a chef, socialite, business owner, and black trans woman who was charged for perjury and imprisoned in the 1940s for fraud for claiming her husbands GI benefits as a trans woman. The court argued that her marriage wasn’t legal, and she fought the courts, but was forced to serve time with her husband in prison. After prison, she and her husband eventually settled in to a quiet life in Los Angeles
The 6 of Swords asks us to reflect on our battles and distance ourselves from past traumas if we can. It’s also a sign to be gentle with ourselves and give time for recovery and healing. What battles can you distance yourself from? What hurts can you let go? As we approach spring and think about planting our garden, it’s a great time to ask ourselves what we can part with. What pain is taking up space that could be given to new growth?

As the spring approaches, the 3 of Wands asks us to spend time to reflect - and give ourselves credit for - all that we’ve accomplished in preparation for the coming season change. How have you moved forward this winter? Where do you want to go from here? Spend some serious time reflecting on it this week and start to plan your next moves. What is your big mission?

Henriette challenges to have vision - not only for our own individual wants and needs, but those of the community and society at large.
Tarot Card of The Week - Temperance

And now Temperance has arrived, as a poetic follow up and gentle respite. Temperance asks us to take a step back, cool down, and find balance. She asks us to have a clear head before moving forward and to allow for time and space to heal that which was brought up last week. How can you find balance this week?

Song of the week: Sleep to Dream - Fiona Apple
The Justice card is a great follow up to last week’s 7 of Swords: The 7 of Swords asked that you awaken yourself to reality and that you become aware of uncomfortable truths, and Justice asks that you act on that new awareness. It’s important this week that you make decisions that are aligned with your highest good and that you’re able to confront people and situations that don’t have your best interest. Where are you feeling uncomfortable? How can you speak up for yourself and others this week? Where things are wrong, make them right. Be an advocate and don’t be afraid of confrontation. Consider how you can invest this energy in the bigger picture as well this week. Are there community issues or movements around justice you could become involved with?

Tarot Card of The Week - Week of January 13th - The Magician
Card of the week: The Magician
Song of the week: Starman - David Bowie
This week’s tarot card asks that you get to work on your 2019 goals and give yourself over to your manifestation mojo. We started the year setting our goals and have begun to step in to our power - the Magician asks that we shift in to high gear and begin to see our dreams and goals through. This week’s song is ‘Starman’ by Bowie - and I really think Bowie is a great example of the Magician archetype. He’s somebody who has radically transformed himself and the music scene over the decades, was comfortable being unabashedly himself, helped lead others to personal liberation and magical discovery within themselves, and used music and art as his own sort of high magic that will touch and transform lives for generations to come. So this week, channel your Starman power. Are you ready to take responsibility for your dreams? Are you ready to take the first steps? Are you ready to get what you ask for? Are you ready to be seen? It can be really uncomfortable to step in to your power and commit yourself to action. Some of us don’t feel capable or deserving of our dreams. Don’t be afraid of your potential. Start making headway on your goals this week. Want more insight? Book your reading today - 15% off email readings until February 1st!
Tarot Card of The Week - Week of January 5th - The High Priestess
Card of the week: The High Priestess
Song of the week: Lady Grinning Soul - David Bowie
This week’s tarot card asks that you enter 2019 full cognizant of your inherent wisdom, beauty, and power. I like to think of The High Priestess as the woman Bowie sings about it Lady Grinning Soul - she’s elegant, graceful, mysterious, rooted in her sense of self, utterly feminine and in possession of her own sensuality. I ask that you meditate on that vision and think of how you can bring those elements to yourself - not only this week, but this year. What does taking on that sort of power look like to you? The New Moon paired with this card brings us a great question - how can you honor your own divinity? Your own beauty? Your own wisdom? See if there are opportunities to cultivate those elements this week and don’t be afraid to take on your role as counselor, confidant, and advisor as well. Want more insight? Book your reading today

The season of your blossoming
Today marks the vernal equinox, or the first day of spring, an occasion that has signaled a rebirth and new beginnings for millennia. In the northern US, the last few weeks of winter have had many of us feeling tired, worn out, and overwhelmed what seemed like a never ending onslaught of cold temperatures, bare trees, and frozen ground. All over the world many of us have been feeling a metaphorical winter--we've felt stuck in old patterns, isolated, and exhausted. These last few weeks of transitions before spring have made us completely and painfully aware of the fledgling, cold, and dead areas of our life--people, situations, and habits that once were fertile and beautiful but now have no place in our world. As we enter spring, tune in to that awareness and honor your insights. Don't be afraid to clear away that which no longer has a place in your garden--it's essential for you to bloom. The spring is a time to plant new seeds. Tend to your joy. Let it flourish this season.
