FOUR OF PENTACLES
There is a pattern being woven into the skies, planets repeatedly triggering certain degrees, crossing paths, retracing steps, retracting feels, engaging again – exemplifying the nature of astrology itself. Astrology is based upon the principle that nothing can ever be fully known...
ACE OF WANDS
Pace yourself. The universe is handing you a match, lighting up your conscience. Pace yourself. So you don’t get burnt. Anger is an asset. Fire can be fruitful. But it’s not the only key to winning...
0 | THE FOOL
“But how do you do it?!” I persisted. Your smile crept towards your dimples. “Don’t think, just do,” you said. We were seven years old, legs dangling over the dock, water droplets glistening on our skin. The mountains rose, majestic over the lake as you coached me in how to pee while jumping off the rope swing...
THREE OF CUPS
In light of the current political climate, I’m more invested than ever in creating structures built on power-from-within. Knowledge has always been a source of power for me. When I use knowledge, even self-knowledge, to set a hierarchical boundary
TEN OF SWORDS
We sat close, sinking into your mattress, pouring over the spread. Plants and frames adorned your wall around a large circular mirror. If I glanced up I could see see us in the dimming light of a summer sunset soaring through your window. It was the first reading you ever gave me...
ACE OF PENTACLES
Aces are like seeds – pure potential. The Ace of Pentacles is earth of earth. Often, when we think of the element earth, we look at outward manifestation – money, material items, physical labor. This element shows us the tangible expression of our efforts...
TWO OF CUPS
Twigs snapped under fur-lined boots crunching in the snow. Our breath slipped between our lips and frosted white as we wandered among the pines. We didn’t need to see our fingers and noses to know they had long turned red...
DAUGHTER OF CUPS
Last year, I took a long hiatus from dating. Or rather, I spent some time dating myself. It wasn’t easy. There were months of tucking under covers, staring at the ceiling, longing, and wondering “why am I doing this?” Bit by bit, the question was answered. As I prepared beautiful meals for one, stroked lavender everything into...
SIX OF PENTACLES
Contracts, from those that are implied to the written documents that hold us accountable, are useful tools. They govern the relationships we have that require exchange. Which is every relationship we partake in – including the one with ourselves – for they all engage in give and take...
THREE OF SWORDS
I lay like a five pointed star on the black hardwood floor, trying to think myself out of feeling or into crying. I was dying for catharsis and considering how much I wanted to die. It is terrifying to be an intelligent person and feel as if your mind has been robbed from you...
MOTHER OF WANDS
There is a girl who gives permission. She practices radical self love, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. She dances everyday, collaborates with tenderness, panache, and indecision. She knits vulnerability onto her sleeve and...
NINE OF CUPS
I sighed as I rubbed water marks off the cups my mother asked me to set out on the dining table. My cousin’s long blonde curls swept over my arm as she placed forks over napkins I knew the perfectionist in me would have to refold. Still, there was a warmth that...
FOUR OF SWORDS
In moments of upheaval and confusion, shock and fury, it is natural to want to react. To do something. To fight and to fix. To cause a ruckus and a storm. To enlist in war when deep in our guts, we hunger for peace...
FIVE OF SWORDS
I sat on my heels, knees spread, shoving slate grey socks into a crevice in my overpacked bag. You were gabbing away, Indian-style legs sinking deep into my mattress, words lost in the stream of sage smoke floating above...
MOTHER OF PENTACLES
"You can ask for more love,” your voice whispered through the phone to my stifling sobs. I wanted desperately to believe you but your words held the stunning weight of impossibility against the ache in my chest. I explained through...
FIVE OF SWORDS
It’s Scorpio season witches. "Down, down, down we go. Where it stops, the River Styx glows. Fill up your cups and begin to regrow." The Five of swords bears conflict – tension that terminates, ties sliced and...
TEN OF PENTACLES
Let’s examine what it means to be selfish. To have our cake and eat it too. To give ourselves the gift of time. To host a deep-sit with our deep seated needs and not shy away. To take our babies out of the corner and put them on...
ACE OF WANDS
The Ace of Wands is an invitation to awareness and a warning to action. This week breathes power in the form of potential. Potential for inspiration, change, conflict. Potential for...
DAUGHTER OF WANDS
The Daughter of Wands is the freshest form of fire. It is the candle flickering in the morning light. The embers floating in the air cast by the stream of your breath into your sage smudgestick as you clear away the energy...
SON OF SWORDS + III | THE EMPRESS
The Son of Swords is a seeker. Sharp eyes, sharp dives and you can be sure he’ll come up with the snitch and he’s ready to share it. This week is all about connection and contribution. We are in full Libra swing and...
