pick ... a pepper (tarot)

yes they are chillies

tomorrow I have some fancy sweet peopers that will join these lil guys. dunno what they all are so will be cool to see what comes up. pick a pepper, get a tarot card, this is YOUR WEEKEND

pepper one - ace of cups

new emotional beginnings this weekend. alternatively you get emotional clarity after weeks of struggling with something.

pepper two (left to right) - page of coins

be careful of temptation, alternatively you could do with letting your internal playfulness come out more

pepper three (yeah im really creative with these names) - the tower

upheavals on the weekend don't have to mean stress. change can be embraced through growth

pepper four - queen of coins

comfort with your material situation comes to a peak here. sense of security may increase, alternatively a sign to do more things that invest in your physical environment

water my plants with me * tarot

🌱 string of hearts - the moon

upcoming you are attracting blocked energy that isn't yours. fortunately this is VERY easy to remove because it is NOT your negativity. check for sources in your life and as the water flows into the plant pots inagine it as a grey smoke that the water is washing away 🌊

🌱 string of beads - the star

new energy is entering your life. imagine the water flowing into you. count as the water flows into the plant pots. imagine drops of rain softly falling on your shoulders. the new energy is yet of undifferentiated potential. imagine it growing into what you want it to be 🌱

🌱 pothos - the tower

like a pothos propagating in a jar of water, you may feel like you lack roots. something has been pulled out from under you. not 'going to be'but has been. is something missing or has something caused an upheaval? imagine the water not as unrootedness but as freedom for your roots to grow.

🌱 sweet potato - the world

yes it's a sweet potato. this is a very calming plant to grow if you want and it's dead easy just chop it in half and put it in water. it also purifies the air 🌨 🌚 it's amazing to grow in your bedroom and will get you a better night's sleep. ok, if you picked this, you are surrounded by something that is overwhelming you, but in a good way the world is a great card but also very powerful you may feel exhausted after reaching your goal. the four corners of this card bring together elements and opposites that will help you integrate the next steps. this is what you should be focussing on right now ... and it will all flow for you.
