Seven of Pentacles ~ 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘱𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦

There has been hard work put in. Be it material, physical or spiritual and emotional.. conscious effort has been put in to becoming better, reaching a goal or healing from past trauma. The Seven of Pentacles is a pause, to look over your hard work, to realize how far you’ve come. A reminder that you’re nearly there. You’re coming over the hill.

Remember that with healing comes forgiveness. It is okay to forgive yourself. It is okay to make mistakes. Forgiving yourself is part of the healing process.

The Hanged Man (The Wildwood Tarot’s The Mirror)- 𝘱𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯

Death to the ego by surrendering. This card may show up after harm was done (to the ego). After loss. Or after we realize we are out of alignment, things just aren’t going our way..

This is the moment we can truly take pause in our life. We can stop, we can meditate. A moment where we are truly open to see which is the best direction to go.

Queen of Pentacles ~ wealth, a nurturing soul, financial independence, prosperity in material matters

The Queen & King are the highest court cards. They symbolize the evolvement of that particular suit. The Queen, the feminine, the evolved in terms of earthy, material, practical matters. When the Queen of Pentacles comes up in a reading, I see it as a reminder of my own duties as a mother. For others it could mean a person, an earth sign woman, or a call to figure out a better work-life balance. More stability may be needed in your life.

August 23 ~ Strength

𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴

Strength as the card pulled for today is a good sign to confront our subconscious as challenging ideas, emotions or situations come up. This matches perfectly with the energy of the moon in Scorpio it can be a good time to drop through to the other side.. exploring inner depths for transformation. There is more mental clarity with this energy of the moon, good for organizing, curiosity and quick learning. Beware of intensity and jumping to conclusions.

July 19 ~ The Moon

𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘴, 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺

Having recently began a new moon cycle it is a good time to delve into our inner worlds. The moon has always brought out strange feelings and behaviors. Just like the sun relaxes and consoles us, the moon excites fear and strangeness. The moon can sometimes feel like a difficult archetype to understand as it is so dreamlike and watery. Our inner world and emotions can be this way as well. They have a purpose but sometimes we can become caught up in what we feel and act on that alone. At this time we need to become aware of our emotions and feelings and pay close attention. Ultimately what is inside of us seeps into our reality. Take the time to slow down and spend time with yourself.

July 7 ~ Page of Cups

𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺

In the suit of cups we often focus on our emotions. The page is also referred to as a student. We look inward and inspect our emotional world. We can can learn what is good or bad for us at this point in our lives. The Page of Cups signifies a time when creative ideas may be popping up. When we are in tune with our emotions we can be more sensitive to receiving these ideas and playing with them. At this time pleasant surprises may arise as well as intuitive messages that beg to be questioned and followed. They are opportunities for growth and expansion.

Happy Friday🤍

an official introduction✨

Ever since I was young I have always been interested in magic. The occult. Tarot and astrology. You name it. I picked up my first deck in 2016 (The Wildwood Tarot.. absolutely gorgeous) and have been studying tarot ever since. I mainly read for self reflection and introspection. Of course I read for others and use other spreads as well. I have found that it brings assurance, hope and peace it brings into my life which is why I feel the need to write about it. To share my daily card pulls and one place to put it all.

I have only just began reading for others. I wanted to make absolutely sure I knew the cards and the symbols behind them. I am nowhere near perfect and am striving to be able to communicate the story the cards tell so that someone can leave a reading from me feeling the way I do after I read. With confidence in the future, feeling hopeful, feeling the past be resolved, and feeling peace of heart and mind.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology what feels like forever ago and would love to continue my education and pursue a masters in clinical psych. I love being outside.. running, hiking, camping, laying in the grass.. anything. I also am the biggest book nerd.. I love reading.. but I’m not a romance novel girly. Thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy, high fantasy, history, psych, biographies, non-fix… I’ll read any of it! (I don’t completely rule out romance ok..) I am a classically trained pianist and teach piano as well. I’ve lived in the middle of the forest, the high desert, England, and now a concrete jungle known as Chicago. And there you have it. Thanks for being here🤍

July 5 ~ Page of Pentacles & Three of Cups

𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴, 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 | 𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘫𝘰𝘺, 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴

We live in a society obsessed with the material. Always wanting the latest and greatest. Telling us how happy we can be if we just had more. The Page of Pentacles with his single coin serves as a reminder that we only need the basics to be happy. Or that we can find happiness and joy with what we already have. Paired with the Three of Cups.. this message tells us to celebrate the small things. Celebrate what we already have in our lives. There we can find satisfaction.

July 2 ~ The World

𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺, 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵

Alignment has been achieved. If you’ve come to the end of a cycle now is the time to rest in contentment. The World card is one that symbolizes our desire for connection to the at higher power, our highest self, the universe etc.. it is simply hope.
