April
Your Past: Five of Cups, Reversed. You did something you regretted, perhaps long ago, and have now learned how to move towards healing and self-forgiveness.
Working For You: Justice. Your internal sense of right and wrong, and your zeal for justice and balance is helping you face your fears. It helps keep you grounded and feel comforted that there is accountability.
Working Against You: Eight of Cups, Reversed. You need to move on. It may feel as though there is more to be tried and more to be done, but you need to understand and really know that you’ve done all that you can do. Everything’s been tried. Don’t allow yourself to get caught up. It’s time to let go.
Your Subconscious: The Lovers. Subconsciously you’re struggling with the double-sided nature of love. The thrill and comfort of intimacy can be offset by the fear of vulnerability.
Your Goals and Thoughts: Two of Swords. Are you waiting for the best opportunity? Or are you procrastinating? You’re focused on gathering the information that you need for your decision, but your subconscious fears around intimacy and vulnerability may be holding you back from actually making a move.
Coming Soon: Queen of Pentacles. Secure. Grounded. Generous. Soon, you’ll not only be living your best life, but you’ll be able to be your best self. Abundance and opportunity abound, and you’ll know how to make the best happen. Not just for you, but those you care about as well.
Advice: Queen of Cups. Your intuition and your ability to understand and connect with other people’s emotions will be important allies for you. Remember to give yourself the same emotional grace and kindness that you show to others.
November
Your Past: Judgement. You recently experienced a seismic shift, during which you felt drawn towards living your truth, as your authentic self. After all that you had learned and experienced, this watershed moment represented when you could no longer turn away from your true self.
Working For You: The Sun. Things can seem scarier in the dark, but you have been working within the light. The Sun isn’t just a time of radiance, bounty, and success, but a time when the darkness is banished, and realities revealed.
Working Against You: Nine of Cups. Facing and conquering your fears isn’t easy work, and it will require you to step outside your comfort zone, and experience a lot of disquiet. Greatness will not come to you – you must be willing to meet it.
Your Subconscious: The Tower. Upheaval is hard, especially when it tears us away from the comforts and very structures that we have come to know and depend on.
Your Goals and Thoughts: Two of Wands. You have your sights on more – so much more – than what you have and where you are now. Be sure to retain your gratitude for what you have while reaching for the stars.
Coming Soon: Ace of Pentacles. Soon, you will have an abundance – of opportunities, of comfort, and of security.
Advice: Five of Cups. It’s hard to move on, and an unknown future can be scary. You’re working through all the strong energy in the Judgement card in your past, which means you may not have the emotional strength and confidence that you usually do. Allow yourself the time and space to grieve – but then make sure that you move on.
August
There are two Queens and two Pages in your reading, but you’re missing the presence of cups. Be sure that you don’t lose track of your emotional needs during the process of facing (and conquering!) your fears!
Your Past: Queen of Pentacles. The Queen of Pentacles represents being grounded, and able to use the surrounding resources to create abundance. You had achieved balance, between your physical and emotional health, and had created an overall sense of security.
Working For You: Five of Swords, Reversed. Traditionally the Five of Swords is seen as a card of defeat, distress, and dismay. When working for you, it means that you’ve used these crises to learn how to move on after loss and defeat, and to use the lessons learned to create a new plan and new path for yourself.
Working Against You: Page of Wands. You’re feeling full of ideas and vigor, and have so many directions you find interesting. Don’t split your focus, and address what needs to be addressed. It can be tempting to engage with something new and exciting, especially when it brings in our passions, but there’s foundational work you need to do first.
Your Subconscious: The Star Reversed. You’re finding hope and optimism harder to embrace. Make sure to redirect negative thoughts and narratives, and reframe situations for yourself. Don’t deny hope its place.
Your Goals and Thoughts: Queen of Swords. You know that working through your fears means facing them mentally. You also know that courage doesn’t mean that you aren’t afraid, but how you act when you are afraid – if there is no fear, there’s no courage. You’re hoping you can philosophically engage and analyze.
Coming Soon: Page of Pentacles. You will be chasing your ambitions and using the resources that you’ve gathered and created to help you attain your goals. Your passion and ambition will align, and you’ll be able to sow a lot of seeds for your future.
Advice: Two of Wands, Reversed. It’s hard to change, and it’s hard to fully embrace a plan when you know that it will change things. Don’t let something challenging stand in your way. You’re worth doing the hard things!
October
Your Past: The Devil, Reversed. We’ve all held limiting beliefs from time to time, and you recently completed a lot of work to address some of yours. Be proud of the work that you’ve done, and remember what you learned about your capabilities and your resilience as you move forward.
Working For You: Queen of Swords. Your analytical nature and ability to gently cut through the illusions is helping you to gain clarity. One of the ways to work through your fears is to understand that they are ultimately expressions of your mind. They may be rooted in truth, but it’s important to keep them in perspective.
Working Against You: Seven of Pentacles. You’re experiencing a lot of anxiety, and it’s impacting your ability to have the long view (and patience) that you need to succeed. There are times when there’s nothing left to be done, and you must be able to wait for things to develop.
Your Subconscious: Three of Cups. You may find yourself gravitating towards your friends, and trying to recapture the joy and celebration you feel when you’re around them. Subconsciously, you’re being driven towards feelings of belonging.
Your Goals and Thoughts: Eight of Pentacles, Reversed. You can’t just focus on work and the task at hand, and barrel forward full speed ahead every minute of every day. There are times when you must rest and trust that things will develop the way they should.
Coming Soon: Three of Pentacles, Reversed. You’ll find yourself very challenged when it comes to working on teams. For some reason or another, it’s difficult for all of you to see eye to eye, or to even agree on what needs to be done.
Advice: Three of Swords. Know that what you feel, even when difficult and hurtful, is part of this human experience.
