Eight of Wands Reveresed

Sometimes things are set in motion we aren't ready for. But sticking our heads in the sand won't help. In fact it will hinder you even more. Change can be a scary word and an even scarier reality. When the universe is setting things up that we tell ourselves we aren't ready for it we need the reminder that there is only one healthy way through. And that's to not let our fears and negative talk take over and ruin our chances to grow from this experience.

These Wands fly through the air representing feelings of movement, but the feeling is not grounded or finalized. When things are up in the air there's so many questions unanswered. When will is come back down? Will it come down? Will it land where I was aiming? Maybe it was better to never throw that wand to begin with and look and what grounding you need before letting things fly. Beware of words this week. Things that may have seemed well intended may not always be recieved that way.

Week of July 28th-Aug 3rd

Four of Wands

Companionship is on the rise. When the four of Wands appears harmony is close at hand. Its time to find like minded people or someone who just understands you even if you dont have the walk if life or values. Bring enthusiasm to this relationship platonic or romantic and youll thrive even more. Feel connected to more than one person this week? That's great as more people need you in their life. Your the light people are looking for. Your love, compassion and support will be the guide other need and when you help with guidance your rewarded with harmony and a sense of community.

These two lovers took a big step in celebration. They took vows to be what the other needs no matter what life throws at them. And they get to celebrate with the people they love and have them cheer them on. When we can commit to each other and show others what love us then we win by bringing in happiness, love and peace. These two walk towards their home where they can build the future to their lives together.

Week of July 21st-27th

Justice Reversed

Life is going to feel a bit chaotic this week. There will be outside elements that you'll feel are working against you. That's because the universe will be intentionally leaving out some information for you because the lesson here is to sit back, watch and listen and be quiet. When doing so youll set the scales back to neutral and restore the balance. When you jump in on the chaos then you run the risk of tipping the scales too far to one side and you'll not find out what that missing information is. The reward will come to those who wait.

The crow has a red scarf covering its eye. The bird feels blind and unsafe as it can't tell which way is up or down and feels like its caught kn a whirlwind. Outside forces are causing some of these feelings or could even be yourself working against you. But just because you have this scarf over your eyes doesn't mean that karmic retribution systems isn't working for you. Sometimes it just takes time to get comfortable in the dark before you can see again.

Week of July 14th-20th

Six of Wands

This week is all about what your passion is and taking sets to implement it in your life. The time for action is now. Don't worry about what others might say or think as this time is only for you. If you are finding back lash or rude comments its just comes from a place of others insecurity and envy. By putting your needs and passion first you'll become an inspiration to others and they have a choice to follow your lead or to stay in a passionless spot in their lives. Either way this is a time to do what is right for you and not to worry about others as they have to make that choice to follow or flee.

A victorious solider comes home after battle to well wishers. This solider worked hard and it paid off and has made his life and possibly others better by being the one to go out and fight for what they knew was right. The well wishers who could not be in battle look on with respect and envy. But know that battle isn't always for everyone. Sometimes others have to stay behind to set up or keep life afloat which is just as big of a help as being in the thick of things. If your not able to be this solider this week know you still playing an important role by supporting the one in the lead.

Week of July 7th-13th

Seven of Swords Reversed

Just like last week warning you of not over doing it, this week has a similar theme. Beware of your habits and how they are affecting you. Last week was about fun and not taking it overboard this week is what are you trying to hide or mask. Sevens are all about having faith in yourself but this week you'll have doubts of if you can help yourself let alone help others and how you deal with your own thoughts and feelings will either set you up for success or failure. Try to set up healthier habits that help you face your inner turmoil rather than unhealthy habits that only give you a quick dopamine fix but you haven't actually helped yourself in the long run.

Three crows are on or near swords. Only one sits on the hilt of a Swords that has protection and does not risk getting cut by the blade. One stands in front of a sword and another carries Swords by the blade in flight. Each birds has its own vantage point in the battle for the week but each has its own disadvantages too. The one on the ground holds no protection and had a bad view, the one sitting on the sword has a better view but the sword is buried in the ground and not easy accessible and the crow in flight has the best view but highest form of getting hurt. Are these crows the stages youll go through this week or will you start and stick with one for the whole week. Choose wisely as sometimes to bigger vantage point the great risk of emotional hurt or burn out. But the flip side is the smaller the vantage point the easier it is to put your head in the ground and ignore your problems.

Week of June 30th-July 6th

Four of Wands Reveresed

The Four of Wands is said to be one of the happiest cards in a deck. Said to bring celebration, joy and letting your inner child come out to play. But when its in the reversed position this all remains true but there's a warning that sometimes too much of a good thing can be the exact opposite of what you need. Long weekends are always something to look forward to but just remember that moderation in all aspects of your life will serve you better then letting too loose and getting to wild. Have fun, be curious and let yourself explore this week but still make sure your hydrated, nourished and rested. Balance of play and still taking care of yourself will be key this week.

A child is jumping for joy and is having the time if her life while her father is overjoyed to see his daughter flourish in this point in her life. Notice how the father is still doing a chore before he comes to join his daughter in play. The father knows there's still a few things that need to get done. Are these pieces of wood needed to finish off what looks like a finished tree house or are they for another project. This begs the question is something truly finished in a quick glance or does it require a more solid foundation you need to fix or finish before the fun can start for you. Feeling of jealousy could arise if you still have some work to finish while other are out enjoying the finer things in life. But your time will come too.

Week of June 23rd-29th

Nine of Wands

Life tends to throw rough times at us where we can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel. But isn't it a great feeling when we finally get to the end and we get that needed break, rest or things just slow down and we can finally catch our breath. This week we're just about there. Its time to tie up any loose ends on projects, work or personal. There's still a bit more work to be done but when you are at the end stage you know its time to sit back and relax and know you have safety and protection on your side. After your done its important to take that breather before you start something else. If you power through you'll have a higher chance of burning yourself out.

The cat has done a good job at choosing a ball of yarn and as it works at the yarn it gets smaller and smaller. The cat has put in hard work but its found a way to invite play into the work equation. Notice how many other balls of yarn are there for the cat to choose from but its decided the best course if action is to work at one before taking on another. Plus a cat always knows to take a nap after all the hard work and play its put in for the day.

06/21/2025

Happy Summer Solstice and longest day if the year. Today is a day to celebrate the light we bring into our lives and except that light and dark each have their place in the world. After today the days get shorter and we start the next transition so enjoy the light as much as you can this summer.

Week of June 16th-22nd

Seven of Wands

There's nothing like when you have determination and faith in yourself. You've set yourself on the path you needed to go on after last weeks turning point and now its time to prove to yourself that you've got this. Its time to push yourself past limits you weren't sure you were ready to accomplish. You may feel unprepared but when you put one foot in front of the other success is just around the corner. If your someone who can't fly by the seat of their pants and need a game plan then know your hard work and persistence will pay off. The higher the performance you put in this week the higher the rewards will be.

The mighty warrior stands brave and strong above the arena. Is he nervous, you bet but he has training and knows that he is more prepared then he or others give him credit. This isn't his first time in the arena and after being there a few times knows the layout and what it will take to become the victor. Notice how the warrior doesn't run away from the arrows flying towards him. He shows that when things get tough he can still stand tall and proud. He may not have a shield to protect himself but he has his wand that can help him defect the arrows flying towards him. In this case the arrows represent unthoughtful words others may use to deter you from your goals. The orange background tells us that our desires are attainable and when we reach that goal we can bring joy into our lives.

This full moon goes perfectly with this weeks 1 card pull. If things are feeling tough or overwhelming this week just know your at your turning point and its up to you whether to embrace it or not. Not only is it a full moon this week but a Friday the 13th. Time to embrace your feminine side and remember 13 is not the scary number superstition has lead us all to believe. Its a new chapter starting in your life. Wait isn't that just another way to say turning point? Bring on the change and look for the positive this week.

06/09/2025

Week of June 9th-15th

Nine of Swords

Today I just knew the Crow deck was calling me. These cards jumped at me with lots of energy and before I was even done shuffling the Nine of Swords flew out at me. This rarely happens but when it does the deck is excited to share its message. This makes sense this card was ready for us today as we are at a turning point in our lives. We have been living in a place of fear. Maybe our fears our nightmares have been keeping us up at night and the weight of not enough sleep is playing its toll on you. Or you've been in a state of anxiety that you've become paralyzed and feel like your unable to take a step in either direction for fear of the unknown. This is time to cut the ties holding you back. To stop the negative talk in your head and to let go of the burner that's weighing you down. Remember that negative will seek negative so when we are in that mind frame we will continue to only see negativity. Its time to change the narrative to positive.

This Crow has made its nest but its nightmares have kept it from achieving a good night's sleep. The Crow is restless and is rearranging its bed trying to distract itself from his emotions. Distractions can only work for so long until its time to start to deal with his fears and anxiety. The cage in the top corner shows how easy it is to get locked in out minds and how easy it is to panic when we are in that place. Its time to be the two crows facing each other on the Swords. Is this really two Crows facing off before taking flight or is it one Crow reflected back to itself in a mirror image where its taken the time to face itself so he can finally start to change the narrative and start taking a healthier happier path in life.
