  • For a moment, you are a child again, spotting your first shooting star. The world is alight with possibility and awe. Allow yourself to forget all the limitations that have been driven into you for a little while. Tap into the excitement and prepare for a whole new world. Where you are going, you’ve never been before. Do you feel prepared to leave your comfort zone behind and open yourself up to unlimited possibilities? Put your brave face on – it’s time for that leap of faith. Your fresh start is here. Anything is possible – where will you go now? It’s time for a new adventure!

  • You’ve worked hard to get to this point, and now it’s time to bring your dream into reality. You have all the tools you need to accomplish this, or if you don’t, the ones you need will appear at the exact right moment. Your sword is the power of your mind. Your wand brings light to your passions. Your cup is full and brings energy to your work. And your pentacle is all the life experiences you’ve had leading you to this moment. Call on all of these incredible resources, talents, gifts, and abilities to help you manifest that dream. What will you create?

  • This is your invitation to explore and study your subconscious mind. Trust your intuition. Your intuitive powers are strong at this time, and the answers that you are receiving will highlight key points of focus for you. Be open to receiving guidance, signs, and wisdom from beyond. Allow yourself to stay curious through this process. With your intuitive ability, you may already be able to see the tree in the seed but stay tapped into wondering how it will grow.

  • Inspiration and beauty abound! Relishing life’s pleasures allows you to be fully present, which is exactly where you build that beautiful life. Allow yourself to create just for fun without the pressure of the outcome. You are in a period of fertility and renewal. This energy is all about ‘becoming.’ It symbolizes the process of transformation and change – a journey from what was, through what is, to what can be. You hold past, present, and future simultaneously with grace and ease. What if it could be simple? What if everything worked out perfectly? You breathe life into everything and everyone around you. You are pure magic!

  • Buckle down, babe! The habits, organization, boundaries, and structures in our lives may seem constricting at times, but in reality, these things often give us true freedom. Setting yourself up with positive habits and systems will lead you to the accomplishment of all of your goals. No matter your station, position, or situation in life, own your personal power. You are your own best authority on you.

  • When you take time to study the rules, you’ll see that most of them are there for a reason, but sometimes rules are meant to be broken. Our world is constantly evolving and changing, and so must our systems and beliefs. Perhaps following mainstream guidelines has left you feeling empty and unsatisfied. Be curious and question the old traditions – are they worth upholding or is it time to tear them down and replace them with a new way of doing things? Through deeper learning, you can find solutions to old and new problems.

  • You stand at a crossroads – what do you want to commit to? Whatever choice you are facing right now, it’s a big one. Let your heart lead. The things we bind ourselves to make major waves throughout our lives. What are you choosing to hitch yourself to? As you consider the options in front of you, which one feels more in alignment with the life that you ultimately want for yourself? Which choice feels like love? Remember that love is a verb. Trust yourself to do the right thing for you.

  • You’ve got your sights set on what you want, and you are on the path that allows you to bring your dreams into reality. Your belief in yourself and what you want should be unshakable. Yes, there will be bumps in the road, but you’ve got this! Any obstacle that pops up is something that needs to be acknowledged, faced, and addressed so that you can leave it in the dust or maybe convince it to come along on the ride. Let any self-doubt roll off your shoulders and fly away in the wind. Envision your dreams coming true on the other side of each inspired action.

  • Chaos and difficulty are part of life. It’s how you respond to them that shows your character. Whatever you are facing now may call on your courage and resiliency. Don’t close off your heart. Remain open and vulnerable to whatever is being illuminated. Enter the temple of your heart, where you will find the strength to calm your inner world. Being accepting of your shadows and shortcomings allows you to radiate love.

  • Your inner quest beckons. You’re being called into your own personal forest. The only map is an invisible one drawn by your soul. What will you discover? Inside, you’ll likely find hidden treasure troves buried beneath limiting beliefs and patterns. Turn off the distractions and listen closely – your inner voice is speaking to you. This is an opportunity for you to find and retrieve a part of you that you’ve lost touch with. If you face darkness, remember that you are the light. Shine brightly and allow yourself to see all that is ready to show itself to you. The wisdom you gain will stay with you.

  • Things may feel a little wild, but nothing that sticks out to you right now is by coincidence. There are always little breadcrumbs leading you down the path home to yourself. Sometimes these circumstances look like a boulder instead of a breadcrumb. It may feel like a crazy twist of fate, but it’s all to keep you on your path. Surrender your wishes and release all attachments to how or when knowing that everything happens in divine timing. You may not understand the full picture yet, but the Universe does. Just trust deep down in your heart that everything is always working out for your best and highest good. No matter what side of the wheel you feel you are on currently, things are always moving. Life is change.

  • It’s simple cause and effect really, but karma is real. Every action and intention you put out will be returned to you in one way or another. You must take accountability for the way you show up in the world. Balancing the expansive nature of Jupiter with the structured discipline of Saturn doesn't mean suppressing one side for the other. Rather, it's about integrating these energies in a harmonious way within yourself. Reflect on the times you've felt torn between these poles – between dreaming big and sticking to practical steps. What does finding balance in those ideas look like in your current situation?

  • There’s a side quest calling for your attention. Take a break from whatever it is you’ve been super focused on. Soften your concentration and wander off the main road. Certain things cannot be rushed, so it’s ok to spend some time on whatever else is drawing your attention. It will either lead you closer to your goal in a roundabout way that you never would have thought of, or a change of perspective is needed. Either way, follow your heart beating in sync with the Universe, your soul knows the way.

  • Change is on the horizon, and most people fear change almost as much as they fear literal death. Change sounds so scary because our first assumption is that it will be worse than what we are already experiencing. But you know that any change you are being called to make is only for your highest good. The rising sun illuminates what you are ready to let go of. A muddle of fear and doubt may try to convince you to hold everything together, but you can see the seed of truth. It’s time to release.

  • Getting caught up in big emotions or stuck in stubborn, unhealthy habits is a very human thing. The world around us (and also our own mind) can twist us up in knots on one end of the spectrum or the other. Temperance counsels moderation. Are there actions that you can take to help you regulate those emotions or can you come up with a concrete plan to rid yourself of some of those pesky habits? Tap into your center. You can create harmony externally when you find it within. Play around until you find the right balance of what works for you.

  • The Devil often shows up when we are on the verge of settling for less than we deserve. It can look like addiction taking over providing us temporary relief from pain when what we truly deserve is to be free from the pain. It can look like turning to buying stuff to fill a void left behind from something else when what we truly deserve is to fill that void with something meaningful. It can look like self-sabotaging yourself into a smaller version of your big audacious dream because it’s “not realistic.” Be gentle, but honest with yourself about addictions or attachments you have to things that are not in alignment with your soul. You aren’t trapped. You can liberate yourself with self-awareness and the decision to choose differently moving forward.

  • It’s easy to get lost in our human dramas and games, submerged in our stories and identities. But with just one wave rising with the tides, your awareness is brought back to show you that whatever is falling apart now was shaky from the outset. Dissolve the veils and illusions. Untangle the mess, and you’ll reveal hidden gifts and pockets of gratitude. What have you been hiding from yourself by staying in your comfort zone? Look at this as an opportunity to examine what was hurting you and move away from those things as you continue on your path. There’s an underpinning story that you’ve been telling yourself for a while now that you’ve built everything upon. When this card shows itself, it’s a sign that whatever belief or core truth you’ve been holding onto no longer fits with who you’ve become. You’ve grown, so take time to rebuild on a new foundation that feels more aligned with who you are now.

  • When all is lost, all is found. Things are now coming back together for you. Yes, you had some losses, but I promise you that all that is gone will be replaced with better. Start imagining what could come in place of what is now gone. This isn’t about naively thinking that everything will be easy now, but it is courageously believing that there is hope for a brighter future. Through this shift, you’ll find your true essence is revealed. You are inherently worthy.

  • You’ve been pulled into your own underworld. What lies inside of you deep down under the surface? Everything may not actually be as it appears right now. It may feel as though nothing makes sense anymore and you can’t see a way forward. A full moon often casts long shadows to force you to bring awareness to anything you’ve been avoiding. Under the water, things can be murky, confusing, and even a little scary, but I promise you’ll find your way back out. Going down into the depths helps you face any lingering shadows or fears that need releasing.

  • Bask in the warm light of the sun. Follow your bliss and do what makes you happy - create, explore, dance, sing! The sun’s rays illuminate the way forward providing warmth, comfort, and rejuvenation. Enjoy this moment! The sun brings success and good fortune along with positive energy to help you continue pursuing your goals with enthusiasm and confidence. Your future’s so bright, you’re going to need to grab some fun shades!

  • When we are sleepwalking through life, we will be called over and over again to wake up. Don’t worry, you can’t miss what is for you. But when this card appears, something is calling to you now. What are you being called towards? Living in authenticity has become important to you, so now is the time to align your life with your most genuine self. Are there any changes you have been hesitating to make? This card is a harbinger that you are at the threshold of a major shift in your life. The choices that you make will have far-reaching repercussions. Will you make the choice that leads you to the next level? To move forward now, you must shed the old completely and leave it behind.

  • Look how far you’ve come! Everything is now coming full circle. You should be really proud of yourself. Reflect on your journey and honor this achievement. All you’ve been through along your path has made you into the strong, wise, and more experienced person you are now. You’ve learned many lessons, integrated them, and have used it all to bring a dream of yours to fruition. Don’t rush into the next big goal - take some time here to enjoy not striving and pushing, but just being. Drink it all in. Soon you’ll be off on your next adventure!
