Lesson #223 - Forgiveness is a selfish act in the best possible way.

There is a massive misunderstanding that forgiveness means you are condoning the bad behaviour or inviting the person back in for tea. That is absolutely not the case. Forgiveness has almost nothing to do with the other person. It is entirely about you deciding that you are finished carrying their luggage around.

Holding onto resentment is physically exhausting. It takes a huge amount of energy to keep that fire burning and that is energy you are stealing from your own creativity and your own joy. You are essentially renting out space in your head to someone you do not even like.

Evict them. Cut the cord not because they deserve peace but because you do. You can forgive someone and still never speak to them again. It is simply the act of putting down the heavy bag so you can use your hands for something better.

Here we go. Definitely a mixed bag this week... and not the lolly kind....

𝟭. 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
You are currently sitting in a beautiful space of emotional contentment and you have every right to enjoy it. This is the wish fulfilment card, suggesting that something you have been working towards has finally landed in your lap. It is a quiet, personal kind of win that makes you want to just sit back and smile at how far you have come.

Make sure you are actually celebrating this milestone rather than just looking for the next thing to do. You have built a reservoir of happiness here, so drink from it. You do not need anyone else’s validation to prove that what you have achieved is enough. Trust your own sense of satisfaction.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
Something has likely pricked your bubble recently and it probably feels quite sharp. This energy often shows up when a truth we have been avoiding finally comes to light or when a social connection hits a painful snag. It is a reminder that the heart needs to clear out the old grief to make room for any new joy.

Instead of trying to patch over the hurt with logic, just sit with the discomfort for a second. You are being asked to look at where your expectations did not match reality so you can stop carrying that weight around. Once the initial sting fades, you will find you are much lighter than you were before the band aid came off.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀
You are entering a phase where collaboration and showing your work to others is the key to your success. This is not about being a lone wolf; it is about finding the right people who appreciate your specific skill set. You have the foundations down and now it is time to build something with a team that actually gets your vision.

Look for opportunities to learn from those around you while also owning your own expertise. This is a brilliant time for professional growth and getting the recognition you deserve from your peers. When you combine your talents with others, the result is always going to be more impressive than what you could do alone.

𝟰. 𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
The waiting game is officially over and everything is about to happen at once. This card is all about rapid movement, incoming news, and a sudden surge of momentum that might leave you feeling a little breathless. If you have been feeling stagnant, consider this the universe hitting the fast forward button on your current projects.

The trick here is to stay focused so you do not get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information coming your way. You need to be ready to act quickly and trust your instincts. Do not overthink the details right now; just ride the wave and see where this burst of energy is trying to land you.

𝟱. 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
You have a fresh perspective and a curious mind that is ready to slice through the nonsense. This energy is youthful, inquisitive, and a little bit cheeky. You are likely asking the questions no one else wants to ask, and that mental sharpness is exactly what is needed to clear the air in a confusing situation.

Be mindful that your words can be a bit blunt when you are in this headspace. Use your intellect to gather facts and explore new ideas, but try to keep the delivery a little softer if you want people to actually listen. Your clarity is a gift, so use it to build a bridge rather than a wall.

Lesson #222 - You do not have to shrink to fit back into the family photo

Walking back into your childhood home is often the quickest form of time travel available. You might be a fully functioning adult with a mortgage and boundaries on the outside but the second you cross that threshold you revert to being twelve years old. It is incredibly disorienting to feel your hard earned growth evaporating just because someone makes a comment about your hair or your career.

Your family is likely committed to remembering a version of you that no longer exists. They are comfortable with the old script because they know their lines. When you show up as this new and updated character it disrupts the whole play. That tension you feel is just the friction of your evolution rubbing against their stagnation.

Love them for who they are but do not set yourself on fire to keep them warm. You are allowed to sit at the dinner table and be the odd one out. You are under no obligation to squeeze yourself back into a box you broke out of years ago just to make the room feel less awkward.

Starry starry starry night... Which card calls to you this week? 🔮

Lesson #221 - You are not a fraud; you are just new.

The feeling that you are about to be exposed as a fake is actually a very precise indicator of growth. It means you have walked into a room that is bigger than the one you just left. We assume that competence feels like confidence but usually it starts out feeling like terror. You are looking around, waiting for security to tap you on the shoulder and es**rt you out of the building because you think you slipped in through the back door.

Real expansion feels risky. If you were staying safe in your comfort zone, you would feel perfectly capable and also completely bored. The shakiness in your voice is not proof of your incompetence. It is evidence that you are stretching. You are supposed to feel out of your depth when you are learning to swim in a bigger ocean.

Stop waiting for the official permission slip to arrive in the mail. No one is coming to knight you or give you the badge that says you belong here. You just have to put on the costume and play the role until it starts to fit your skin.

Lesson #220 - You cannot strangle the outcome into existence

There is a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to play God with your own life. You might be waking up at three in the morning running scenarios in your head or trying to manipulate a situation just so you feel safe. We think that if we worry enough, we can prevent the chaos from finding us. But worry is just a prayer for things you do not want.

You are white-knuckling the steering wheel of a car that is already driving itself. The tight grip does not make you safer; it just makes you tired. The universe has a plan that is usually far more creative and interesting than the spreadsheet you have made in your mind.

Surrender is not about giving up or being lazy. It is about trusting that the water knows where to go. Put your hands in the air and stop trying to force the river upstream. The best things usually arrive the moment you finally stop chasing them down the street.

Some great messages in the cards this week! Love this deck ❤️

𝟭. 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀
You have reached a level of mastery and stability that you need to acknowledge. This energy is all about sitting comfortably in what you have built and not apologising for your success. You are the CEO of your own life right now and you need to start making decisions like one.

Stop acting like you are still hustling for scraps when you actually have a full banquet in front of you. Enjoy the security and the resources you have gathered. It is time to focus on legacy and long-term sustainability rather than short-term panic. You are safe to slow down and survey your kingdom.

𝟮. 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀
This is the universe handing you a tangible seed of opportunity and asking you to plant it immediately. It represents a new job, a financial boost, or a physical project that has serious potential to grow into something huge. The potential is literally in the palm of your hand but it will not grow if you keep it in your pocket.

You have to take the first practical step. This is not about dreaming or visualising; it is about doing the groundwork. Get your hands dirty and trust that the soil is fertile enough to support whatever you are trying to create. The resources are there if you are willing to use them.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀
The energy here is absolute fire and charisma. You are being asked to step into the spotlight and lead with confidence. The Throne of Torches does not shrink back or ask for permission to speak. It commands the room simply by being authentic and passionate.

If you have been hiding your light or playing small to make others comfortable, stop it immediately. You have a vision and the drive to execute it, so wear your ambition proudly. People are naturally drawn to your warmth right now, so use that influence to make things happen.

𝟰. 𝗔𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
Just when you thought it was all about work and hustle, here comes a wave of pure emotional renewal. The Ace of Cups is a fresh start for your heart. It signals a new relationship, a deepening of an existing connection, or just a profound sense of self-love that washes away the old cynicism.

Open yourself up to receiving love and kindness. You have likely been guarding your heart, but this card says it is safe to be soft again. Let the feelings flow without trying to analyse them to death. This is a gift of spiritual and emotional refreshment, so drink it in.

Lesson #219 - You are the only applause you need

If you are waiting for the world to clap before you feel proud of yourself, you are going to be waiting a very long time. We tend to hand the remote control of our self-worth over to strangers and then wonder why the channel keeps changing. You might be refreshing your feed or checking your inbox, hoping for that hit of dopamine that confirms you did a good job.

The truth is that nobody else is watching your movie as closely as you are. They are all too busy starring in their own dramas to give you the standing ovation you are craving. That sounds harsh but it is actually total freedom. It means you can stop performing for an audience that has already left the building.

Do the thing because it lights you up, not because you want a gold star. The only approval that actually changes your body chemistry is the approval you give to yourself in the mirror on a Tuesday morning. Take the microphone back and sing your song simply because it feels good to let it out.

Take a moment to centre yourself and tune into the energy of the cards. We are dealing with earth, fire, and water, so see which element is calling your name right now?

Lesson #218 - Your body knows the answer before your brain does

We spend so much time living in the penthouse of our minds that we forget about the foundation downstairs. Your brain is often a liar. It will tell you stories based on fear and logic and old programming. But your body is physically incapable of lying. It is constantly picking up data that your conscious mind misses.

Pay attention to what happens below your neck when you make a decision. That tightness in your chest or that drop in your stomach is spiritual information. That sudden feeling of expansion and lightness is a green light.

Stop trying to think your way out of a feeling problem. Trust the somatic signal. Your gut instinct is millions of years older and wiser than your anxiety. If it feels heavy, put it down. If it feels light, keep holding on.

06/02/2026

Lesson #217 - Loneliness is just the space where you meet yourself.

There is a massive difference between being alone and being lonely. You might find yourself in a season of solitude right now where the phone is quiet and the calendar is open. It is easy to panic and fill that silence with noise or people who do not really get you just to avoid the echo. But this space is actually a sanctuary.

When you strip away the distractions of other people, you finally get to hear your own voice clearly. You are not being punished with isolation. You are being gifted an opportunity to become your own best friend.

Learn to sit with yourself without reaching for a distraction. Make your own company so delightful that you stop craving validation from everyone else. When you are truly at home in your own spirit, you are never actually alone.

"We do not vanish." 🦄 From the heartbreak to the healing and the boundaries in between. Which message is yours today?

𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
Let’s be real, this hurts. You have been carrying a heavy heart or dealing with a situation that feels like a sharp betrayal, and you are trying very hard to pretend it does not sting. The Three of Swords is here to tell you that the only way to get over this hill is to actually climb it.

Stop trying to intellectualise your feelings or slap a positive sticker over a negative emotion. It is perfectly okay to admit that you are disappointed or sad. Give yourself permission to have a proper cry and feel the weight of it so you can finally put it down and move forward lighter.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
You are standing on the edge of something big and the anticipation is palpable. The hard part of making the decision is over, and now you are just scanning the horizon waiting for your ship to come in. This card suggests you have done the prep work and sent your intentions out, but the physical results haven’t quite docked yet.

Do not mistake this stillness for stagnation. You are in a powerful position of foresight and planning. Keep your eyes fixed on where you are going, not where you have been, and trust that the momentum is building even if you cannot see the waves breaking just yet.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀
You have put in the hard yakka and now you are standing back, hands on hips, wondering why the garden is not blooming overnight. This energy is all about the frustration of the pause. You are ready to cash in, but the universe is asking you to wait just a little bit longer.

Resist the urge to dig up the seeds just to check if they are growing. You are in a crucial assessment phase where patience is your best strategy. Trust that the work you have done is solid and valid, and let time do the rest of the heavy lifting for you.

𝟰. 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀
We need to talk about your boundaries and your generosity. You are likely the person everyone calls when they need a favour, but you need to check if that energy is actually coming back to you. This card is asking you to balance the scales between what you give out and what you allow yourself to receive.

It is time to stop pouring from an empty cup just to be liked. If you are feeling drained, it is because you are overdelivering to people who are underappreciating it. Close the tap a little and see who sticks around when you stop being so available.

𝟱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁
You are being called to switch your phone to do not disturb and retreat into your own cave for a bit. The Hermit is not about being lonely; it is about the profound power of being alone. You have some big questions right now and the answers are definitely not going to be found in a noisy room or a group chat poll.

Shine that lantern inward. You are seeking a truth that only exists in the quiet moments when no one is watching. It might feel like you are stepping away from the action but you are actually doing the most important work of all. Trust that your own internal GPS knows the way better than anyone else does.
