S'up Lovelies! I pulled some cards for the week, let's do this:

- Seven of Wands - This is a card of courage, it shows up in readings - not to denote a confrontation - but to strengthen your resolve in meeting the challenges that are coming to you. You can defend your beliefs without being defensive, and you will have the support you need.

- Two of Swords - This card is all about balance and stabilization. It also shows up in readings to herald a time for peace following confusion or conflict. You are being asked to calm your mind, to feel grounded in the choices you have made and to make your own sanctuary (mentally and spiritually speaking), this self awareness allows you to move forward and make progress.

- The Fool - Our buddy the Fool here always turns up when we make a new beginning or journey. He represents innocence, starting along a new path in which enlightenment is the only goal. This is about fresh starts, renewed energy and second chances.

My first reaction to this reading when I pulled it was a sarcastic, 'Ohhhhhhh. Oh, NO SHIT, TAROT'.

I don't think it would surprise any of you (*cough* the four of you who read this *cough*) that I pulled a card marking a call for courage during a time of conflict and challenge; and right on it's heels, a call for stability and peace - served with a huge helping of self-awareness and self-governance; and then here comes the Fool strolling up to remind us that we have a fresh opportunity to make things right, to start over - and hopefully, in spite of ourselves, not fuck things up so bad this time around. Seems pretty clear, eh?

Anyways, that's my take. Let's have a week, shall we? Happy Turkey and/or Tofurkey Day!!

Hi Y'all, I hope you had a great weekend! I used my new Lenormand deck by artist Siolo Thompson today because, A) It's so pretty!!! I LOVE IT! LOOKA THE PRETTY IMAGES!; and B) Lenormand readings tend to be more direct and to the point - and ain't nobody got time this week for ambiguity.

:: Fish :: I love seeing this card because this is the card of commerce - finances, business and money. It can turn up in readings for personal health and romance, but generally will always relate to a financial/career type situation. Let's keep looking...

:: Moon :: Our Mystery card is the Moon, which represents creativity, recognition from your peers, dreams and intuition. This moon represents a brightness in the sky and can sometimes mean that you will be in the spotlight. Paired with the Fish, we can connect our Moon with financial success or opportunities. For all you creative types, this is an especially auspicious card for the week - timing favors the New Moon on October 30, so go get it!

:: Whip :: So, yeah. Whip. This card is a bummer, generally speaking, but I ain't scared. The Whip is usually indicative of an argument or disagreement - and often it turns up when the conflict is an internal one. If you are torturing yourself with feelings of inadequacy, knock that shit off! Remember that you are a bright moonbeam with a lot of light and love to offer. And if you do end up in a tussle, try to learn from the experience and be willing to shift your perspective in the matter. Disagreements suck, but they aren't the worse thing in the world...if you happen to be the party who is wrong, be sure to be accountable and apologize!

Y'all have a great week and remember this beautiful Super Hunter Moon!!
