New Year Reading for 2024! 🌟 - Scorpio

Preshuffle: 10:10 as I start your reading, and the only thing that showed up in your preshuffle was mending ties with a Queen of Swords, could be an air sign, or someone that’s guarded/distrustful of you. Could also be a water sign that you feel this way about, Queen of Cups follows. I’m more inclined to think this is a friend/family member than anything romantic, but could be. One of you could’ve felt betrayed by the other one, there’s a bad cycle between you, negative karma even, but it can be overcome successfully - 6 Wands, leaving all of the past stuff behind. If not a person, then you’re guarding yourself and your own heart, taking better care of yourself, because of painful experiences of the past & wanting to move forward positively ❤️

Meditation: A whole gang of people, the general public, were at a lovely area of a beach, kinda secluded but there were people scattered everywhere so not really. Water skis were being ridden on one side, people floating by on surf boards. I looked for you, and you were underneath the water quite a bit, staring up at me. First of all, fkn creepy, I don’t appreciate that @ Spirit 😆 You weren’t giving me anything to go off of, I couldn’t tell if you were drowning or evil, you held your hand out…and I was afraid to grab it and you pull me down. It was like a 10 second inner battle of “do I potentially die right now?” before I quickly grabbed your hand and pulled hard. That’s it, end of vision, showing how this actually “ends” will be different for everyone.

🔸 Whole of Your Energy: The Sun & 2 Wands rev

Regarding: The Emperor rev & Queen of Wands rev

Scorpios are not going to be happy with me. Trust that I was going to try to swing this interpretation a different direction until your character card came out with “The Brawler”. If you look for a fight everywhere you go, if you allow others to trigger you easily, if you instigate, bait, trigger or push the boundaries of other people, you’ll always find what you’re looking for - a battle. But not many friends. Both masculine and feminine aspects came out as well, reversed, it’s all sides here. Mars is being highlighted big time, and Aries where that’s a part of your chart. Mars will be in Aries this year from April 30 - June 9, this could be a significant time period for you, especially with the north node also being Aries this whole year (it changes in ‘25). I don’t usually highlight Mars transits as that important, except for retrogrades, though they are but Mars moves pretty regularly like Mercury & Venus, we go through this every year pretty much. A Mars transit can be motivating or frustrating, when we feel like we’ve gotten a lot done, sexual impulses are raised, or we’re pissy and get into with someone - especially in Aries.

You are ruled by Pluto, which is difficult enough ☠️ but you’re also co-ruled by Mars, and this reading is showing that your Mars aspects are not being used positively - in some way - that’s what The Sun is bringing to light. The Emperor rev is at grass roots - toxic masculinity. Controlling, condescending, power trips, even possible abuse on some levels idk, “rules” that serve no one but themselves, bossing others around, acting like the head of everything and no one else gets a say, it’s a dictator. Queen of Wands is similar but the more feminine side, very bossy, snotty, “better” than everyone, competitive, instigative, arrogant, jealoussss, major “mean girl” energy. That’s what’s coming to light this year for you to deal with, through some kind of relationships, you’re having to face this in yourself. Are you this way all of the time? I doubt it, but enough to come out as The Brawler, who is *always* looking for a fight. 2 Wands is not being able to move forward on any path until this part of you is dealt with. For the majority, this is you. For like 10%, this is someone else you’ve been dealing with, possibly at home, family members…or this stems from family members / learned behavior, especially for the risings - Pluto Aquarius hits your 4th for a few months and when it comes to home & family, there could be a toxic individual here that needs to be put in their place…for many it’s you. For others it could be like a victim becomes the abuser. You’re not this, you’ve learned this, and now you need to see it and unlearn it cuz it’s toxic af. That’s more of a psychological counseling kind of work, someone qualified would be better to help you through that than me, though I’ve been there I hear ya. 6th/12th Houses are highlighted for highlighted for you with the nodes and eclipses of the year (and last), getting your health and mental health to a place of positive, healthy, joyful, managing well & progress is a priority 🙏 Work is also looking kinda toxic, could be dealing with an asshole in that area too, or it’s part of what makes you act this way, just another part of the whole of the experience here. I am not judging you 💯 The Sun is here, it’s all for a positive purpose, Spirit wants you to be happy, and that can come with some hard realizations & facing some inner demons, shadow work 😈

Character Card: The Brawler

Described as someone in a bar always looking for a fight, fists clenched and ready, an attitude of just waiting for someone to cross you so you can give them a piece of your mind, this person doesn’t make friends, only enemies. They have a lack of empathy for others, and are extremely confrontational & combative. This card calls for objective thinking, seeing the perspectives of other people, coming at situations with the goal being “understanding” them fully, not just conquer and win, because the “win” is empty. Both this card and the main energy for the year shows zero progress until this is handled, consciously, Two Swords rev. No longer do we act like we don’t see this, but rather address it or deal with it and resolve to do better. Apologize if necessary/possible. That’s all any of us can do. It’s like Spirit is holding back your blessings until the lesson is learned - for many of you. A spiritual time-out so to speak.

Oracles for Character Card:

31 - Communication

The clarity, interactivity, and timing of communications is critical.

25 - Cooperation

Your goal can benefit from you surrounding yourself with like-minded people.

🔸 Relationship: 4 Wands & The Tower

Regarding: 9 Swords rev & The Empress

How this plays out for everyone will be different, but the home & relationships will be the center of many of these lessons this year, and probably continuing forward with Pluto being in Aquarius for the next 20ish years, for good from November on (in your season). Being ruled by Pluto, and squared to Aqua energy, you’re one of the signs that will feel this directly. It’s transformative, both positively and negatively, that’s kinda what Scorpio does and this is just the next chapter of your life.

4 Wands is the home, family, a stable relationship, and it’s facing a Tower. The Tower is your energy (and heavy Aries again in this row), ruled by Mars, it sweeps away what is not actually built on a solid foundation, it can describe sudden & life-changing events, like a lightning bolt, positively and negatively, it can also show a shift in perspective, seeing things in a way that you can not unsee them. No matter what it is, things cannot go back to how they were before. 9 Swords rev & The Empress follows, which feels very positive for a lot of you. You could hear of a pregnancy in the family or be a parent unexpectedly - a positive Tower (whaaat?). It’s possible some event or relationship that seems like a disaster (or was one) gets less stressful and moves towards growth. A person that’s been uncooperative could be “seeing the light” or needing help in some way, and comes back into the family circle - Queen of Wands upright. The goal is to make things less stressful with someone that’s been uncooperative, or that’s you, with Cooperation connected to the Brawler card.

You or someone else could be spontaneously leaving the home too, a fight breaks out and tempers get heated, someone acts with initiative and gets out of that situation. They may be seen as uncooperative but it may ultimately be for the sake of growth, less mental stress, especially if there are issues with a mother figure. The Empress is here, and The Emperor is rev in the main energy, with Queen of Wands rev attached to him. It could be that when this Queen of Wands is around this Emperor rev, she flips and becomes like this. Bringing out the worst in each other. But in this relationship area, she is upright, following The Empress, confident, self-assured, taking initiative and handling life on her own - without help from anyone. She’s connected to growth, beauty, and expanding her world in positive ways. She may feel that’s necessary, especially if there’s a dominating or controlling person in the home. It changes everything. Who she is - is changing, could be someone else, could be you. If someone around you is controlling or abuses their power & your boundaries, you can’t grow there. If someone else is leaving, maybe question your own behavior & tactics, they’ve probably said something along these lines before. Their feelings or perspective may hit you like a “wake up call”, or yours does for them. Ultimately, it feels positive, but I’m not so sure it will feel that way for everyone - in the moment. This could also be regarding your parents.

For the risings, Pluto has been moving through your 3rd House for over a decade, which can talk about siblings specifically. Neighbors, neighborhood, the early learning years, communication. For someone, there could be a situation with your/a mother, and a sibling is unbothered or uncooperative, or they may feel this way about you if they’re the ones taking care of Mom, making life less stressful for her, and telling you to piss off, or you’re doing that with them - either way. Or they have for some time, and it’s changing now, or someone’s perspective is being hit like a lightning bolt where they may understand where the other person is coming from. 4 Wands can show a “homecoming” if you’ve been away, especially moving to the 4th House of Family & childhood, probably due to some major event that changes how things were before, in the way it’s meant to continue for a long time. Transformative energy.

🔸 Singles: Wheel of Fortune rev & Ace of Pentacles

Regarding: 7 Swords

I don’t see anything worthwhile coming in this year, not specifically anyway, if anything it’s more of “what to avoid”. Wheel of Fortune rev can show a difficult cycle you’re needing to experience, karmic debts in some cases, bad luck, lessons. The lack of real potential stems from avoidance, self preservation, paranoia in some cases “ending it before they do”, general distrust of people (probably with good reason for now). Two stories are here. 1 - You are the Knight of Wands rev in love, and it’s only a heavy burden to carry, despite the fun you may have in the moment. Going from person to person can be exciting but there are strings of broken hearts and no real potential for growth with any of them, because you avoid that and run away. This mirrors what needs to be left in 2023, non-committal loverboy/girl energy, immaturity in relationships, messing with people’s heads, and instead acting with intention and committing to what you actually want - not just a bed warmer for a week or so.

Others of you are dealing with someone like this that needs to be left behind, goooodbye. For some of you it’s a Sag or they have a dominating placement, that energy is heavy here. They’re in and out of your life, unaccountable, immature, unreliable, here for a good time not a long time, and it’s a burden for you to continue dealing with - there is no lasting potential with this person. For those of you where this is someone else, they’re described as “The Heir”. Spoiled rich kid? Someone that comes from important people, the oldest in a line of established whatever they are, career people most likely. They could be facing inheritance, heavy responsibility thrust upon them, there’s an air of *expected* importance. Someday they’ll be amazing, and it’s like you can smell the potential, you know they’re going to be. But they won’t be with you, Wheel of Fortune rev this is more of the negative kind of karmic, a lesson to learn and have to release, this is not your person. They are The Lovers though, this is some kind of a soulmate, probably karmic. They’re immature af right now, and it could be losing you that forces them to grow up, karmics go both ways. They need to be walked away from, so that whatever is for you has space to come in. The Oracle card encourages you to expand your horizons and perspectives of the world, rather than finding someone to keep long-term, at least for now. If you’ve been involved for awhile, this year could just be needing space to grow inside & away from this connection. Or both. You time is as important as together time. 10 Wands mirrors your career area, showing a lot of your focus may be placed there, being alone, doing your own thing, and it’s necessary for spiritual growth - The Hermit is wise 🙏

Oracle Singles:

09 - Curiosity

Be spontaneous, wonder, move forward, look ahead, and stretch above your present circumstances.

🔸 Career: 10 Wands & Knight of Swords rev

Regarding: The Hermit

You’re healing a lot spiritually when it comes to work, or a lot of this may be done at work. If there’s a bully in your midst, it’s a burden on you. For some you could be working with the same person you’re needing to avoid - and that’s a huge weight on your shoulders. I see most of you at jobs where you spend most of your time alone, thinking through things, it’s definitely not a social energy. If you’re going through relationship issues, it’s like the frustrations all build up and you just vent to yourself at work, in your head, having revenge fantasies and the like. Some of you could be working nights, which is a lonely experience if it’s not a nightclub or something, I get it’s not. Some of you may fkn hate this place, but you need it, so you hold onto it even though you’d rather walk away for good. Some of you may have told (or will) work where they can shove it, and part of this year will be spent looking for something else because of a burden you’ve brought upon yourself - spontaneously popping off and ending a situation. The dominant energy is working through your emotions, grudges, and angry thoughts, wishing you could speak these out loud, but keeping them to yourself out of fear…fear you’re wrong, fear you’re just projecting or making mountains out of molehills, fear of consequences or that others won’t care even if you do. Your inner anger towards everything causes you to become this Brawler character, and this Knight being rev shows either constant angry communication or none at all, it’s like you don’t speak period or in the cases you do, it’s dripping with venom. Back to these Communication & Cooperation Oracles…there’s no progress in Brawler energy, fighting or speaking with contempt or hatefulness won’t get you what you want in any area.

🔸 What needs to be left behind in 2023: The Lovers & Knight of Wands rev

Regarding: 2 Swords rev

This nods again to any non-committal lovers that you can’t rely on, they gotta go. Or that attitude/behavior does if it’s you. 2 Swords rev clarifies the first row, and shows up again here. You aren��t blindfolded, or the blindfold is being ripped off this year, you have to consciously choose what you want, how to act, what you say, and how you go about doing things to get what you want, often with the help of other people - Cooperation being necessary. 4 Cups clarifies here, if others aren’t choosing you to build a future with, they’re not for you, and same if it’s you not prioritizing other people. An attitude of “hmph I don’t even care” when clearly you do, it just comes out angry. You wouldn’t be angry if you didn’t care, so show the care, the sadness, the disappointment, and less of the angry…which just pushes people away, makes others defensive or starts shit. Communication 💯 With the intent to understand and come to a compromise or a solution, not egos just battling it out for a winner, there is no winner, there is no battle or war, there’s relationships to gain or lose depending on how you/they act. Further clarifiers again show this is an intense spiritual year for you, a dark night of the soul even for some, The High Priestess with The Star (and The Hermit in career) show a very quiet time of realizations, soul-searching, listening to intuition and guidance from your own spiritual team/sources, and healing yourself. Being directed onto a more authentic soul path, so that you can have 4 Wands & 8 Pentacles. You want stable relationships, stable jobs, a stable life, and whatever you’re having to face in yourself especially, is all for the purpose of working towards that when the time comes. A Brawler can’t be stable when he’s ready to fk shit up at a moment’s notice. If these things did come in right now, or before, you wouldn’t appreciate them like they deserve to be appreciated. By the time they do, you will, probably because you will have had to work for it, if only internally/emotionally. There’s a side note here that if you work from home, that could be something that drives you bonkers and you don’t even realize it - all of this alone time could be getting to some of you, whether that applies. Maybe you chose this, it’s what you wanted….but do you actually?

Four 10’s in your reading bring light to the difficult cycles in your life, regarding both love and career, and how these things have been a burden on you, or actions you’ve/others have taken that could’ve caused them to become burdens - because karma as attached, both sides of this. There are no more blindfold in any areas, you’re aware.

999 with The Hermit, The Moon & Curiosity shows dreaminess & fantasy when it comes to your career, a lot of alone time and thinking of the possibilities of what could be, instead of what is currently, but I don’t see any moves being made there yet.

Six 4’s showing the stability in your relationships is affected negatively by an overly dominating/controlling person or attitude, possibly within the home, family, or a romantic relationship. There are grudges being held regarding career, narrow mindsets and beliefs taking over, “my way or the highway” being an issue, and not caring for other perspectives or ways of doing things other than your own (or someone else is this wag), which causes an “idgaf” attitude and a lack of mutual reception in a connection, any kind of connection. Someone isn’t going to be controlled, or told what to do, and that’s how it’s coming off, or someone like this is standing between you and what you want. This could also be your own attitude and it’s pushing people away - or has. Communication is necessary to overcome these issues. People may talk to you, but they’re not going to fight with you, there’s a boundary there. If it’s your way of the highway, then it’s probably the highway where other people are concerned. Same for you.

Four 2’s repeat that no progress will be made until your mind is clear and the blindfold comes off - The High Priestess shows you intuitively know all of this already, you just haven’t wanted to do anything about it, but you have to. A lot of spiritual work may be going on throughout the year to get to this point, for 2 Swords rev to show up twice and describe the year, also carried on from last year (and needing to be left behind). You can’t act like you don’t know, you do. You can’t act like you don’t see a problem, you do. Especially when it’s others sure. But moreso, where it’s you, problems don’t just show up one-sided, not usually, and you may have ignored your role. Again, it’s all for the purpose of getting you *what you want*, long term ❤️ This can also be an energy if you had a choice, didn’t choose, and now someone else decides for you.

Big Ideas, Big Questions: 2024 Mercury in Sagittarius

What: Mercury in Sagittarius

When: Nov. 2, 2024 - Jan. 8, 2025 

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp. Mutable signs (Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces) and the other fire signs (Aries, Leo). 

Takeaway: the planet of communication takes a long stroll through the jovial fire sign, thanks to a mid-cycle retrograde; thoughts, writing, news, and the truth move at a similarly stalled pace. 

     2024 has been hella exhausting and the mental fatigue is real. Thankfully, the planets have your back with a transit that is sure to fire up your thinking. On Nov. 2, Mercury entered invigorating fire sign Sagittarius, where it will stay until Jan. 8, 2025, which is an unusually long time for Mercury to be in a sign—and it’s thanks to an end-of-year retrograde. Normally, I post horoscopes on the day or the day before a transit is set to happen, but it seems more prudent to post these horoscopes a little later since Mercury has already moved into its pre-retrograde shadow phase. I already talked in-depth about the significance of the pre-retrograde shadow in my weekly forecast, but here’s a quick refresher: 

     In the three phases of retrogrades—pre, retro, and post—the pre-retrograde shadow phase gives us a preview of the themes, lessons, and mix-ups we’ll see (way) more of during Mercury Retrograde. It can be a time of deceleration, too. Because when we’re in the pre-shadow phase, Mercury begins to slow down and inch its way over the area (degrees) of the zodiac sign it’ll revisit during the retrograde. If it sounds confusing, don’t worry. Pre-retrograde shadow is the dress rehearsal, the movie trailer that drops hints of the upcoming retrograde’s plot twists. Of course, the big question for this pre-retrograde shadow is: What will those plot twists be?

     Known for its big-picture focus and love of ideas, Mercury in Sagittarius values the “wow factor” over small details. So from Nov. 2 through Jan. 8, you, me, the media, and any would-be presidential candidate (you know the one) are all more likely to exaggerate for effect or add a touch of drama to make a story resonate. In other words, tall tales, exaggerations, and wide extensions of the truth are par for the course. In fiery, Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, Mercury, the messenger and megaphone of astrology, gets even louder, bolder, and potentially more controversial with the messages it sends. It is very in-your-face—especially during that pre-retrograde phase.

     Now, I’m not here to spoil the fun of Mercury in Sagittarius, because it can be a really great transit for big, bold ideas and honest conversations. Nor am I here to stir up your anxiety, because I don’t want to do that. However, I do want to be real and honest with you. Based on what we’ve already seen/heard, and based on what we know about Mercury Retrograde, I think certain groups (ie: Trump and his allies) are going to try and amp up efforts to spread more misinformation and disinformation, especially during the height of the pre-retrograde shadow and retrograde transit. I think we’re heading into a period where conspiracy theories and more incendiary rhetoric are going to run wild. 

     So, it’s important to stay aware of this, to practice critical thinking and media literacy, and to not believe everything you read or see. I’m not attempting to sow distrust in anything (except maybe Truth Social), I just want you to be prepared. Both Mars and Mercury will be retrograde in the beginning of December, so things might get messy / confusing / chaotic; they might already feel that way for you. My main worry is that certain people are going to add more fuel to that fire. If that is the case, please remember: you are not at the mercy of astrology or the media; you are not at the mercy of anything or anyone else. You still have free will, free choice, and astute critical thinking skills; you still have your power. No one and no thing can take that from you. Anyway!

November 2024 reads

[loved liked ok nope dnf bookclub*]

Sundown in San Ojuela • Wuthering Heights* • The Scorpio Races • The Serviceberry • Graveyard Shift • Saga (Vol 1) • Shubeik Lubeik

"Fingers crossed I'll have more time to read in November," she said.

What happened instead was that I had a busy month of grass-touching and then, in the last few weeks, panicked about how little I had read (compared to how much I wanted to read) and brought a huge stack of novellas and graphic novels on my road trip to Santa Fe. This turned out to be exactly the right move because I read them ALL and there was not a single flop!

Sundown in San Ojuela ★★★1/2☆ - A book that is a lot confused, but got the spirit (and vibes.) Great prose, but it definitely suffers from that debut novel condition of "way too much going on." Oh well. We may not have killed our darlings, but we killed a lot of cop characters in assorted gory ways!

Wuthering Heights ★★★1/2☆ - Had to use the hilarious Scholastic Twilight-esque cover, of course, because I read it for @bellasbookclub! I think I liked it better this time around. These characters are so delightfully ridiculous—scenery chewed swallowed digested. (Yes, Cathy, I do have queer dreams.)

The Scorpio Races ★★★★★ - I half expected this book to let me down, and it DIDN'T! The characters? Compelling. The burn? Slow. The horses? Killin' folks left and right. I should probably write up a longer review because I have so many fun notes on this one.

The Serviceberry ★★★★★ - Robin Wall Kimmerer is an auto-buy for me (I can't wait to see her speak in person this month!) and this short and beautiful book is a great example of why. An especially lovely read if you're familiar with the fandom gift economy and want to ponder how one might work in the offline world. Also it contains the recurring phrase "I store my meat in the belly of my brother" and homies I'm snickering childishly

Saga ★★★★☆ - Has been much raved-about to me and now I can see why. Extremely gripping beginning to a series I didn't realize is up to 72 volumes?? That can't be right. Anyway, fantastic intro to the world and its "scifi dirtbag Romeo and Juliet" characters. Did this book just babytrap me?

Graveyard Shift ★★★☆☆ - Not so much a novella as "the first two thirds of a novella that suddenly cuts off" (insert Zuko gif here.) But a very suspenseful, well-executed and page-turning two thirds. Turns out "A bunch of smokers in a graveyard witness some guy burying a small mountain of dead rats" is a pretty ironclad concept.

Shubeik Lubeik ★★★★★ - The more I think about this one, the more I like it. The worldbuilding ("wishes are a commodity that can be mined and sold to the rich") was interesting and perfect for class commentary, the three (really four) main characters were well rendered (Shawqia my beloved!) and I loved the subtle and non-subtle interconnectedness of their stories.

DNFs: I have officially put The Wise Man's Fear on hiatus. I'll finish it eventually, I just need to be in the right mood and/or steel myself, I think.

November superlatives

Next up:

It's only December 2nd, but I've already finished A Memory Called Empire and made a dent in Jade City. So... sci-fi epics and finishing ongoing series month, I guess? Cheers I'll drink to that bro

My Roman Empire Reads

This was originally going to be a list of my favourite books of all time, but I realised that my favourites shelf on Goodreads is littered with books I haven’t read or thought about in five years, I thought I’d focus on the books that still do occupy my brain space to this day, some read more recently than others. And I know the ‘Roman Empire’ meme is dead by now, but I have no other way to…

September 🏋🏽‍♂️ 2024 Monthly - Scorpio

Preshuffle: It was a message - there is nothing you can do about the impulsive, fun, immature-ish? energy in someone else that is otherwise practical & totally stable. It’s part of them. Could be dealing with a fire moon/rising.

Meditation: A crouching tiger 🐅 getting ready to pounce on another crouching tiger, very intense, they both attack and start wrestling all over the place - and the scene/camera pans out to see dozens of other tigers. Google: a pack of tigers is called an “ambush.” The two fighting are siblings.

Main energy: 7 Pentacles

What’s going on in September:

Wheel of Fortune rev, Ace of Pentacles, Justice, The Hermit & 7 Swords

This reading is keeping it 💯 I respect that. Ain’t shit happening this month 😆

7 Pentacles is the energy of having just planted a whole field of something, it’s been watered and cared for, now you’re just waiting for it to grow, and the Desert & Planning oracles with The Hermit…you’re going to be spending some time doing solo activities, catching up on shows and sleep - saving your money seems to be a big part of the reason. I do see an opportunity to have fun with friends/family, but there’s a waiting period for that so maybe someone’s birthday is later in the month.

Wheel of Fortune is rev so you’re coming out of a time of difficult cycles and lessons, you had a lot going on and it was hard to just…chill. Sit. Breathe. You can do that now. Geranium shows you as a flower 🌺 in a brand new squishy pot with lots of room to grow, 7 Pentacles is just a period of waiting to grow, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Treat yo’self. Those of you that are trying to date might go out once but I see you largely throwing in the towel this month. All of the fish are poison ☠️🤣 I’m seeing this 7 Swords card where the boy is carrying 7 fishing poles and I lost it, some of you are on dating apps trying to see what’s out there and throwing them right back when you try. BAD FISH 👎 Some of you may have had a bad experience with a Pisces, that’s the only sign showing up repeatedly. You could’ve had to spend a lot on something legal, parking ticket, child support, public intoxication…etc. or needing to spend money on some kind of repair or necessity has left you checking the couch for quarters (does anyone even do that anymore?) Your reading is cracking me up, some of you are naturally very funny with sarcasm, and have no lack for admirers & potential friends. I do see one around at some point, friend, co-worker, or potential partner idk, they could be just falling off the planet & ghosting. Or you are. Could be a bad fish.

Most of you are putting effort into your own self care, peace of mind, tending to your home, kids, family, etc. Some may even be declining an invitation to celebrate and staying in instead. It’s an energy of “I need to wash my hair.” Do people say that anymore? This reading…7 Swords shows avoidance, you’re avoiding everyone. Could be a parent, a spouse, especially an ex-spouse, or friends/coworkers that want to go to happy hour on a random Friday; you will happily decline and enjoy your peace and quiet at home, thank you, it’s the reunion of some old show you’ve binged watched 100 times 🏡

Side story: you may have cut off someone who was sneaky, deceptive, trying to get away with some shit and there’s been a final decision made to separate from that. You or them. Someone could be waiting on the outcome of a divorce or that could be this month and you’re “celebrating” alone, at a new beginning that’s not all that new because you’ve already planted 7 seeds here, its only a matter of time before your next harvest/bounty - financially, I assume. Most of you are quietly strategizing your next move with Planning Phase & 7 Swords, this is intellectual strategy & focus being shown. Like playing chess ♟️

Signs you may be dealing with:

Pisces, Taurus, Libra & Cancer

Oracle: ✨

32 Struggle 🥴

Struggle is a part of life - so much so that you probably know people who seem to constantly attract one struggle after another into their lives. This is their comfort zone. While struggle is natural, it is natural only so far as it lends itself to learning lessons and overcoming inner personal challenges. Beneath every one of these struggles is the gift of enlightenment. The satisfaction of a lesson learned. Use this knowledge as the light at the end of your dark tunnel. What lesson is this struggle teaching you? Alternately, after a brief setback, this situation will start to right itself.

Carried Away 🥰

Let yourself be caught up in the whirlwind of a romantic moment.

Desert of Isolation 🏜️

Traverse the desolate spaces of solitude to uncover reflections and resilient survival.

Planning Phase 🤔

Take a step back and plan the necessary steps to move forward so you may turn your goals into reality.

We enter into September as:

Geranium 🌺:

“This is another beginning.”

What appears to be an end may not be one after all. Often situations that generate our greatest fears turn into remarkable opportunities. It’s time to let go of the past, and trust that whatever is coming is better than what you’ve known to this point. You are ready to begin again. A new opportunity is coming from a place you don’t expect. There is a regeneration of some kind going on. Whatever you were pulled away from in the past was for the purpose of bringing you to a higher place. It’s time for whatever has been dormant to bloom again. Trust there is a higher plan. This is truly an exciting time.

What is to be learned in September:

Topaz 💛

“If I seek peace, I must embrace my fears.”

Topaz speaks: “To be enlightened is to realize that to gain peace, fear in the heart must be faced.” If Topaz has come to you, he is telling you that it is time to stop talking about what you intend on doing. You must just do it. Things happen for us when we take action, which is the only way to break through what is holding us back. The change that is called for here is surrender, which is an action in itself. No great tasks were ever achieved easily. Remember we do a lot to avoid what we feel will hurt us; you must understand that the pain will recede if you face your fears, allowing you to walk through to the other side. Topaz whispers “Pray for guidance and you will be assisted.” Do not despair, for if Topaz has come to you, relief awaits. By facing your fears, peace and enlightenment will be your reward. That is the gift. All you need to do is ask.

Topaz may be a lucky color 💛
