A Full moon in Leo means more energy, passion, and .. exhaustion 😮‍💨. But if you’re feeling rebellious and ready to really take charge, today will highlight a lot of that energy for you! As always, take care of yourself & don’t be afraid to do what is best for you if it aligns with your values ♥️

It won’t really matter how many self care practices you have in place when sh*t hits the fan if all you’re doing is being mean to yourself.

You can’t let acquire all the skills to read tarot & astrology to support your journey, but it won’t matter if none of it is rooted in giving yourself grace and understanding.

Life will always .. well life lol. We only can control what is within our capacity - but sometimes we forget that part of that is being kind to ourselves. That in and of itself is a whole self care practice that a lot of us forget is necessary.

Because when things go to sh*t, as they sometimes can, there is no purpose or love in constantly being mean to yourself. Failure or changing things are not precursors to you being bad. Failing means you tried, and is that not already brave of you? Change means you are creating alignment with yourself and isn’t that not already showing your strengths?

Practice self-love first by reframing how you speak to yourself. You don’t suck, the situations outside of your control suck but you’re learning to navigate it the best you can.

You’re not a burden and you are allowed to express your emotions. There are people who want to support you.

Boundaries don’t make you malicious, you create them to maintain the relationship with care. Anybody who gets angry with you for setting them was going to cross that line and that’s not supportive of them anyways.

You deserve kindness. So let it start within 🫶

When it’s time to pivot.. then it’s time to pivot.

Forcing yourself to WORK AGAINST your natural cycle of things is only going to pull you away from the relationship you are trying to develop with yourself.

I am someone who rotates my self care practices. So sometimes I very interest in reading self help books and sometimes I want to just read my fairy s**t. BOTH ARE EQUALLY VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT TO MENTAL HEALTH (I will die on this hill).

While it can be hard to differentiate sometimes, there can be signs that tell you if you’re just “dopamine seeking” or if you’re just generally losing interest and need to rotate out what you’re doing.

My biggest tell is how often I’m purchasing things or getting frustrated when I can’t find the “perfect item” to buy and I get irritated. I know I’m needing to rotate what I’m doing when I no longer have annnyyyyy motivation to participate in my practice. So maybe I’m not doing tarot journalling for myself anymore and instead I will bullet journal or I will put all the items away and focus on learning astrology for a little while. I’m ROTATING in and out of what I ALREADY HAVE.

Does that make sense? Let me know in the comments if you want clarification 🫶

Better to be late than to never show up ✨

Sometimes the ideas we have all feel well and good until we realize we have outgrown them. Or maybe they just weren’t meant to be followed through with at this moment in time. Either way, when things feel flimsy even after you have tried, that doesn’t mean you failed or that it won’t ever take.

In the dead of winter we don’t expect the trees and flowers to bloom the same way they would in the spring. We don’t expect new growth of nature, but somehow we expect it of ourselves. If you are planting a garden, you nurture the environment and time it accordingly.

Maybe right now you need to refine what growth looks like for you. Maybe right now it’s a time of reflection, refining and rest. Maybe you don’t need to push for change right now. Remember that the over all energy of the year is a 9 as well - it’s contemplation, refinement, self reflection, and sometimes, solitude.

Try to remember that ideas also follow the path of nature. There’s a time to push and grow and let things really take off, and there’s a time to plan, organize and recoup. Right now it’s a little of the in-between. Your time will come 🫶

With all the energies swirling around right now, today and the new few days will feel a bit heavier. I know for myself, New moons absolutely drain me! I’ve been diving deeper into moon cycles & how understanding that energy can be supportive. New moons, while they can be good for creating new intentions or goals for ourselves, are also a time for us recognize the unhealed or hidden aspects of ourselves.

Today you are being asked to understand how you can be more authentic, more of service, and make more space to cultivate change. Are you integrating those lessons or are you ignoring them? (And when I say “of service” I don’t mean depleting all your energy and resources to absolve your feelings of guilt or shame. Rest is resistance & so is knowing where your boundaries are)!

Let’s chat in the comments, put an emoji of how you’re feeling today! I’ll go first 🙂🙃🤫

Fun fact, back in like 2016/2017 when I was always partying and pretty well staying at my partners house, I played this song all the time lol. It was my theme song and EVERYBODY knew where to find me if it came on 💃🕺

This is the vibe I bring the function (trend). In no way are we as humans one thing - we are many things - and I love this trend for showcasing that. This was so fun to make too. Welcome to my chaos, hope you’ll stay for the vibes alone 😂✨🫶

01/22/2025

Please understand I am NOT a medical professional. But if you are someone whose needing support, the best thing you can do for yourself is find people you trust & communicate what you need access too if it’s no easily available to you.

There are far too many people - and likely will be moving forward - who use fear as a tool to get you to buy into things. Having anxiety does not make you lesser than or low vibe in any way & being able to trust yourself intuition is a process that’s life long. As you begin to develop your self care practices, your intuition will also get stronger. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be rid of your anxiety forever either.

I’ve been in therapy on and off for 10 years & have used medications for my anxiety as well. I can tell you what works for me may not be the things that work for you & it’s the whole reason I’m so passionate about helping YOU find out what self care practices feel good. Tarot is one of those things for me & while readings can be so so helpful, they are NOT a replacement for things like counselling / therapy.

When you are experience anxiety, tarot might be something that can support you, but please don’t lean on it as a means to and end. And certainly don’t listen to practitioners in the witchy community who tell you they can heal your anxiety or any other mental health disorder.

I hope this helps you understand what the difference is between anxiousness and intuition 🫶

Full moons & Mondays are good days to work with settling into what’s to come. It’s a time for preparation, listening to yourself, getting through things we may have missed previously.

As always take care of yourself & those around you. The world is feeling immense heaviness and this full moon can exacerbate those feelings.

Rest is resistance. Kindness & upholding healthy boundaries is resistance. Giving when you have the capacity to do so is both an act of self care and community care♥️

I love you all.

Sunday scaries are here as everyone gets ready to go back to work. I know that feeling all too well. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. If you are in a position where you can’t necessarily change your situation completely, at the very least you have control over how you can help yourself feel (as best as you can within that which I know can also be hard sometimes!)

This spread can support you with that - or if you’re not a tarot/oracle reader then using some of these questions as journal prompts are just as helpful.

I hope you find ways to enjoy & rest today. Make time for what you want to do. Even just 5-10 minutes of it where you can 🫶

✨It’s the energy of Virgo✨

In numerology, 2025 is a 9 year (2+2+5). When we look at the number 9 both in numerology and in tarot, it represents the closing or winding down of something BEFORE the inevitable ending. It’s sometimes skewed as a number of hardship, because as with anything reaching the end we automatically see it as negative.

Endings can be hard. Healing can also be hard. But with the numerology of 9, it’s giving room to process alllllll of the potential that’s coming in as well as leaving. The Hermit especially is about recognition of SELF and progress and knowing that YOU completed something & that’s enough of a reason to be proud of yourself.

There will be more mindset work in 2025

There will be more things coming to light & being shown to us

You might find yourself feeling more creative & pursuing different ways of learning

And of course, a lot of this energy and vibe is stemming from a strong place of rest & solitude. (But as with all things in life, too much can be isolating so make sure you’re finding that balance).

Naturally this energy is peaceful and quiet. So don’t be surprised or even guilt tripping yourself if you’re not feeling like a social butterfly entering the new year. That’s first and foremost NORMAL + it’s suited to the overall theme of 2025 🫶

12/24/2024

Add a little extra support by adding salt for protection to your food, cinnamon to your coffee or deserts, pepper for grounding or going for a walk to just get some peace for yourself!

All these tips are meant to be subtle for those who are not open about their practices / unsure of how to support yourself and need simple tips. I get it. I’ve been there. I hope these help.

And just remember it’s temporary, you can get through this 🫶♥️

12/16/2024

This is just your friendly ✨friendly reminder✨ that as we start to enter the holidays, see vision boards for 2025, see people set goals or maybe you’re setting goals for yourself - you are fully capable of whatever it is you want to achieve in this life AND you do not need to set goals if that doesn’t feel right for you.

Manifesting is all the rage right now as we hype up the new year, but it’s not some simple thing that just happens to people. Behind every post, every achieved goal, every person is a whole lotta work that went into making changes. It’s not typically fluff and sunshine and YES it’s difficult more often than it isn’t.

Whatever your season of life is right now, you are okay where you are. It’s not a race. And even when life can be so so beautiful, it’s also so so complex. What we see online doesn’t always equal the whole reality 🫶🦋

Just a chill girl who learned the intention + power behind her own words.

Sometimes positive affirmations can help & sometimes they just feel like nothing.

But, there are ways to use your words to support you in heavy moments, happy moments, nervous moments and all the moments in between.

The biggest thing to learn is how to trust yourself through the process and know when your words are helping vs. When they’re just making things worse (an on going process for all of us!)

No matter what though, your words matter and they can make a difference. I hope you can find the right words to support you through this week 🫶

✨Manifesting✨ requires more than just writing down what you want on a piece of paper and burning it.

It’s a privilege to be able to manifest “anything” (this is a larger conversation but still important to understand).

There is effort, time, patience and even emotional healing that comes with manifesting. And sometimes the things you want don’t turn out the way you hoped and/or asked for.

If you are not willing to make changes, however small, to get from where you are now to where you want to be, then the universe isn’t going to listen to you. It’s going to match you exactly where you are at & keep you there UNTIL you are showing up for yourself.

This means if you want a new job for example, while there is a lot out of your control (and there is a lot let’s be real here), you can’t just wish for it to be true. You have to start changing YOUR behaviours and actions to align with what it is you want.

And as a first step to any kind of manifesting work, you HAVE to be so so clear about what you want to FEEL like and what it is you VALUE. You don’t always need to know exactly what you want (but it’s helpful), but it’s important to know your values/what you value and the ways in which you want to feel. Then you start making changes to reach those two things.

Why? Because then you have set your own foundations. And once you have your foundations you get to choose what fits within that. And work towards the things that align best.

Everyone wants to talk about “transformation” in its simplicity, yet it’s one of the most difficult experiences you navigate several times in your life. For most of us who have had to make tough decisions or big changes or have hard conversations, we recognize just how hard it really is to step into a different version of yourself, and away from ways of doing that are incredibly familiar.

The changes we make are not always quick either. Sometimes it’s long and drawn out. I currently feel the growing pains of making shifts and changing. Leaning into that feeling can be really really hard. As someone who struggles with coping skills to manage my anxiety and ADHD, I want to be a creature of comfort and habit. Yet those habits I have since outgrown and now where I want to go in my life and who I want to be require new routines. A new version of me..

And I think the reason we so often find ourselves dreading a transformation - rather a rebuilding of ourselves down to old beliefs we hold - is because it does take a lot of time, patience and less judgement upon ourselves. It’s also a restructuring of our own familiar foundation sometimes, and as humans we just want to feel comfortable, which is incredibly opposite of change 😂.

If you are on your own journey of rebuilding yourself, just know it’s going to take time but it’s not impossible (though yes some days you’re gonna want to rip your hair out and that’s totally okay. You will get stronger).

Something that has been helping me along this path is reminding myself that who I am today is someone my younger self would feel very safe with, and who I am in the future (I guess future version of me) is already proud of the steps I’m taking now. They’re cheering me on for taking small steps forward 🫶

Maybe I’ll get some backlash on this one, but I think this is a really important conversation that not a lot of us want to have or just generally don’t have.

The spiritual community is OBSESSED with healing. And a lot of the tools used are (from my experience) meant for healing. But the more I step out and look at things objectively the more I wonder why? Why is it that every single thing that’s spiritual deemed as a tool only for healing?

I found tarot at a time in my life when I absolutely needed to heal myself. But that’s not all tarot is meant for. It’s not the only way it can be used and it’s certainly not the only way it should be used either.

There is beauty in healing and there is beauty in just BEING.

Being a human

Being sensitive

Being happy

Being emotional

Just being…

When you step into a practice of any kind that is supportive of your healing journey, it should also be supportive of your humanness and existence of just being human.

And dare I say (but like I’m gonna), sometimes falling into the trap is constantly healing is just as bad as never working on yourself. Both of these extremes elicit sh*tty behaviour!

It’s okay to not be a constant work In progress and to enjoy where you are at right now in life. You can always pick back up this process again.

Your healing journey isn’t going to fall short just because you took a break from the self help section.

Let yourself be a messy, joyful, sensitive human for awhile.

Full disclosure - I did some of these things.

And when I started reading tarot I had NO IDEA what I was doing, so I tried to do everything. Including reading tarot in an “absolute” manner as well as reading for others without their permission.

I think a lot of these things are also incredibly harmful and impact others in ways that can be detrimental (like staying in bad situations, holding onto things they probably shouldn’t be, not seeking out professional help, etc).

Over time you learn what works for you & what you think is acceptable for your practice. For me that shifted, and I realized I was really uncomfortable reading tarot in this way.

I see tarot as a tool to GUIDE. It’s a for self reflection & understanding the relationship you have within & the world around you. I don’t believe it’s meant to be this woo-woo I can tell your future resource. Because when you have a strong sense of self, and you’re someone who can reflect, you are less likely to rely on the “absolutes” that others give you🫶

I remember being called “icky” because I wanted to talk about crystals & create a space where I could do that. This was by another person (at the time) who was very big within the community. Hooollyyyyy eff - the choke hold that fear had on me and feeling like I’d be “cancelled” simply because I also wanted to create community. INSANE. Absolutely insane.

Now you fast forward a few years later, and a lot of those same people went back into a cult-like religion, denounced their tarot and astrology practices, and went full blast into how evil it all was. Nevermind the fact that they just took thousands of dollars from others and then spun around to make it all bad??

This is what frustrated me with spirituality at the beginning of my journey. And it made me feel so incredibly lost. I looked up to these people. I walked into their communities. I thought I had a place among them. But then to have it all ripped it and bashed. It was heart breaking and angering.

For a while I had let it stop me from engaging with/in my community and tools. And I definitely understand and see the damage done to others and how awful it must have been to experience the affects of others actions.

I don’t blame anyone who stepped away and can’t bring themselves to come back. Or those who maybe want to practice but are worried about being taken advantage of.

I see you and I know your heart aches for a community that cares - that isn’t dressed in “love and light” while they reap the monetary benefits of your emotional turmoil.

Please know there are good people out there who can support you. Like TRULY support you in the right ways. I will make it my mission to prove that to you 🖤

It’s why I’m here.

You deserve to feel worthy. You deserve to feel calm. You deserve to feel joy ✨♥️
