Reflective Tarot, Los Angeles, CA (2026)

09/21/2025

As many of you know, my recent Kickstarter project has been such a big part of my world. And with it, I’ve carried so much pressure for things to turn out exactly as I envisioned. That pressure has felt even heavier while navigating Long COVID, which has been teaching me to move through life differently—at a slower rhythm than I was once used to. I’ve had to accept that I can’t operate with the same energy I once did, and instead find meaning in showing up more intentionally, even in smaller ways. So when part of the project didn’t turn out as I had hoped, that familiar weight of guilt resurfaced—the feeling that I should have done more, been more, accomplished more.

But Friday’s events shifted my perspective. In a moment that could have ended so differently, I was reminded that imperfection isn’t failure—it’s part of being alive, part of creating, part of the journey. The milestones I’ve reached so far, the encouragement and support I’ve felt along the way, and the simple fact that this dream exists at all—these are things worth honoring.

This New Moon in Virgo feels like an invitation to release perfection and embrace gratitude. To trust in what has already been built. To find joy in progress, even when it looks different than we imagined. And to keep moving forward—step by step, with grace.

Where can you soften your grip on perfection and honor what you’ve already created, even if it feels unfinished?

A lesson I learned on balance, curiosity, and the clarity that emerges when we allow space for the grey.

Where in your life are you being invited into the grey?

A few weeks ago, I felt optimistic—the changes I made to my diet and daily rhythm felt like a turning point in my healing. But healing is rarely a straight line. Since then, I’ve been recovering from another PEM crash—spending each day clawing my way back to a new, more limited baseline.

On the outside, I might look fine. On my good days, I might even seem fine. But what most people don’t see is the constant weighing of every choice: if I spend energy on one thing, I have to sacrifice another. A family visit might mean three days—or even a week—in bed. That math gets lonely, especially when it’s invisible to others and sometimes met with disbelief. For a long time, I was afraid to admit this to myself and others. But by not sharing my new reality, I was denying myself the grace and compassion I truly needed.

This New Moon in Virgo reminds me that even if progress is slow, forward is still forward. It’s a call to reclaim my freedom and keep aligning my life with what truly nourishes my spirit, step by step—even if it takes me longer than it used to. I’ve been grieving the part of me that once thrived on doing more, achieving more, working longer. But maybe I was never meant to live that way. Maybe two hours of focused work each day, done with presence and intention, really can be enough.

For now, I’ll keep taking the steps I can—trusting that this slower pace is still leading me somewhere lighter, clearer, and more aligned.

What’s one small change or shift in perspective you can make that could change your trajectory?

It’s no secret I’ve struggled with consistency here. For a long time, I couldn’t understand why it was so hard to keep showing up—even for something I care about deeply. But recently, I had to be honest with myself: I’ve been unwell for years. Long COVID, chronic inflammation, and a long list of symptoms I’ve ignored for too long have quietly taken a toll.

The truth is, my energy hasn’t been mine to give. Even small social interactions would leave me drained for days. And though I finally have the freedom to pursue my dreams, I’ve had to grieve the version of me that could once push through 16-hour work days. Now, I’m just trying to live with what energy I do have—and make it count.

This New Moon in Leo feels like a turning point. A few weeks ago, I started making radical changes to my diet and daily rhythm. And while I’m still healing… I can feel myself returning. Not the old me—but a more honest, softer version. And for now, that feels like enough.

Here’s to showing up in a way that’s real. Here’s to healing quietly. Here’s to letting our light lead, even if it flickers.

This feels especially powerful for me—maybe because my moon is in Capricorn. I could already feel its pull last week… something inside me shifted. I quietly set new routines in motion, committed to healthier habits, and made changes to support a more balanced and sustainable daily rhythm.

At first, I felt guilty for taking so long to get here. But when I stepped back and offered myself compassion, I realized—there were layers of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and even low-grade depression that needed time, rest, and gentler forms of healing before I could fully commit to change.

If you’re in the same boat, please don’t beat yourself up. We don’t always need to rush transformation. Some seasons ask us to simply survive. And sometimes, healing doesn’t look like progress—it looks like stillness, quiet, or tending to invisible wounds.

This Full Moon reminds us that it’s never too late. Trust your timing. Honor your healing. Let go of the guilt, and step into what’s next—when you’re ready, not rushed.

Lately, I’ve been deep in production mode with the collection… but behind the scenes, life’s been full of unexpected repairs, replacements, and home projects that have had me DIY-ing and learning as I go 😅

From deep cleaning to organizing to finally repairing/replacing appliances that lasted over a decade—it’s been a whole process. One that’s felt like more than just physical maintenance. It’s felt like a full-on reset. A quiet invitation to create space for something new.

It’s only fitting that this arrives now, reminding us to honor what’s carried us this far while also being willing to release what’s no longer aligned. Sometimes clearing out the old isn’t just about space—it’s about perspective. When you shift your environment, your mindset follows.

This asks…
— What are you ready to outgrow?
— What are you ready to believe is possible from where you are now?

You don’t have to start over. You just have to start fresh—from the wisdom you’ve gained.

The past few weeks, I’ve been deep cleaning my home and creating new systems to support the version of me I’m becoming—the one who can pursue her goals with more ease, structure, and sustainability. I’m still in the process, but the timing feels aligned: the deep clean wrapped just in time to welcome in fresh energy with this new moon.

This new moon’s energy reminds us that clarity doesn’t always come from thinking harder—it comes from creating space. When things feel tangled or uncertain, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause, simplify, and start again with fresh eyes.

So if nothing else today, keep your ritual simple. Clear something. Shift something. Do one thing that physically helps you feel ready to invite in new energy. Sometimes that’s all it takes to feel momentum return.

Lately, everything has felt like it’s been in limbo. The future feels uncertain, even when I try to visualize the version I want to create with intention. Some days, it honestly feels like it could go either way.

The retrogrades from late 2024 into early 2025 left everything feeling stuck—like forward momentum had paused. It made me question whether I should keep working toward the dreams I want to make real. But my intuition kept quietly reminding me: I don’t need to see the full picture—I just need to trust that any small step forward will lead me there.

I still feel uneasy and uncomfortable with the unknown. But when I look back at how far I’ve come, I realize—I didn’t think I’d even make it here. And yet I did. Despite it all, I kept showing up. I did what I could. And somehow, it was enough.

This Full Moon in Scorpio reminds us that we don’t have to control the outcome to stay on the path. Even when things feel foggy or uncertain, we can still choose to believe in our resilience, our power, and the quiet clarity of our inner voice.

I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I’m doing what I can today—and I’m learning to trust that that is enough.

This New Moon in Ta**us reminds us that dreams are not built overnight—they’re built one small, intentional step at a time. This powerful supermoon is a reminder to stay rooted, stay steady, and trust that even the smallest steps forward are enough.

Looking back at the retrograde season from late 2024 into early 2025, it truly felt like everything that could be delayed, was delayed. Preparing for the project often felt like an uphill climb. There were so many moments of doubt, where I questioned if I should even keep going.

But I kept sharing. Kept showing up—in the ways I could, not always how I thought I should. And that was enough.

Today, with just 48 hours left in the Kickstarter campaign, I’m reflecting on how over 200+ backers believed in this project. We reached our funding goal, not because everything went perfectly, but because I offered myself some grace. I moved forward with whatever capacity I had—and somehow, it was exactly what was needed.

This New Moon is an invitation to believe in the magic of small steps.

Believe that even when it feels messy, slow, or uncertain—you’re still moving forward.

You’re still building.

Your dreams are still within reach.

Thank you for believing in VIA—PAX Tarot, and in me.

These past couple weeks have been a lot. Between supporting my dad’s recovery from major surgery and navigating the emotional rollercoaster of launching on , I’ve been holding a lot behind the scenes. Caregiving takes so much energy, and I’m grateful I was able to voice my needs—my family has stepped in to help, and I’m finally feeling a bit more supported and steady.

We’re officially halfway through the campaign and fully funded—which means if you’ve been thinking about backing the project, now’s a great time. Even though early bird pricing is over, the current tiers still offer savings compared to future retail.

Thanks for being here—for cheering me on, for your kind messages, and for believing in this work. Truly. This has been one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever shared, and I’m so glad I didn’t let fear stop me.

It’s been one of those weeks—everything happening all at once. My dad’s surgery was moved up a full week, which meant last-minute changes, preparations, and navigating a wave of emotions… all while putting the final touches on my Kickstarter campaign.

And honestly? It’s giving eclipse energy in full force—disruptive, intense, and wildly transformative. But somehow, in the chaos, there’s clarity. This New Moon in Aries is a reminder that even when things don’t go as planned, there’s purpose in the pivot. Sometimes the universe doesn’t wait for you to be “ready”—it just opens the door and asks if you’re bold enough to walk through it.

Here’s to trusting the timing, grounding in the vision, and choosing courage over control.
