Week of November 10th-16th

King of Swords Reversed

The King of Swords has wisdom gained from being a wise judge and mediator. But what happens when even though you have a strong background in knowledge but you just feel overwhelmed. The unfortunate answer is you run the risk of being cranky, have a short fuse and others can view you as being a bully. Even though you are normally logical and plan ahead the stress of life has created someone who is being self absorbed. Now is a good time to look at how you have been treating others and yourself and how you can make amends. If you don't do the hard work now you run the risk of becoming numb.

The crow sits on his throne but is trying to lift the heavy weight if his crown. Today it feels heavier than normal and the weight is causing discomfort. The crown used to be fun to wear but this week it just feels like a burden. The five feathers represent pieces of the crow it feels its missing or is currently losing. This causes the crow to not even recognize itself at times. The number five in tarot is connected to grief and loss. This crow mourns who it used to be to who it has become this week. It know it has some deep inner work to do but struggles to find the mental capacity to follow through.

Week of November 3rd-9th

Four of Wands Reveresed

After of week of hard emotions don't be surprised if this week you feel disconnected. This could be with friends, family, coworkers or even yourself. What you body and mind is needing is stimulation but after an emotional hang over you might feel like it's too much effort or that its too hard to leave the house. In actuality going out and reconnecting with people or hobbies is the mind break you need yet giving your body the stimulation it also requires.

The first cat is stopping to smell the flowers but he's so caught up in his own head he doesn't notice the cat behind him who is also alone. If they both took the time to look up they could meet and enjoy the scenery together. Sometimes we're ment to go through things alone but other times we need to rely on others as we go through tough times. These others could have gone through something similar or can just be a shoulder to help you bear the weight. Either ways we all need that break at times and it's best to spend some rest with others who know and love us so well. The green represents the heart chakra and the need to reach out but the reversed card shows that sometimes reaching out feels harder at this time than it has in the past.

Week of Oct 27th- Nov 2nd

Knight of Cups Reversed

Be prepared to feel your feelings this week. When the Knight of Cups is reversed its here to say that maybe you are the center to your own problems. Let's be honest no one wants to hear that, but sometimes the truth is a tough pill to swallow. There is a high chance this week that your emotions will be tough to regulate and you'll take things personally. You're creating a space for melodrama and that feels like no one understands what you are going through. This narrow minded thinking is setting you up for more heart ache. Take a look at the blame game you are playing this week and know the only way to heal and help is to be truthful woth yourself on how you got here.

The wings on the helmet and shoes of this Knight shows how easy it would be to fly away from your problems and hope they'll go away on their own. The high emotions the Knight is feeling is even affecting his horse who is normally steady but instead is twitchy and wants to bolt as well. Both of the Knight ahd the horse feel unsafe. The Knight is unaware that his emotions have leaked over to another as all they are aware of is themself.

Week of Oct 20th-26th

Nine of Swords Reversed

Lack of sleep is playing a role in your feeling of negativity and being down in a slump. It's time to evaluate what it is that's keeping you up at night. When we get stuck in this state of mind we can focus so much on what put us here that we start to lose sight on other important parts of our lives that can help turn things around. Worries about the past or the future can cause a spiral so its important to look at the here and now. Living in the moment, day by day, second by second will set things into a clear path towards finding happiness, health and much needed rest.

The cage in the lower corner is where you feel trapped at the moment. The bars look stronger than they are. But when you find the crows in the card they aren't in the cage. One is building a nest to get some rest while the other two are dancing together on a sword. While they must be careful on how they balance on the sword they have the freedom to let their bodies and minds live outside the cage. When they realize both are free and their minds are actually free they then start to see what was holding them back was just an illusion. They can go forward into the world with optimism.

10/12/2025

Week of Oct 13th-19th

Justice Reversed

This week feelings of unfairness is on the rise. You'll see others getting ahead or paid what they are due yet you feel like your are being skipped. Sometimes the universe has a bigger plan for you and those who are patience can reap the bigger reward. There is a reason the universe wants you to observe others and wait your turn. But when this card is reversed patience isn't always a virtue we have at our disposal. Sit back, watch and learn from others who are getting these benefits. There is a life lesson to learn as long as you keep a rational mindset.

The scales show opposites. One has baren cold lands while the other has warm fruitful lands. These two represent what type of mindset you have which extends to how you represent yourself to the world. If you have dark and cold thoughts then others will pick up on that and you're making your situation harder for yourself. But on the flip side if you are warm and productive then others will be more inviting towards you. This week is a scale so it'll be easy to jump from side to side so don't be surprised if it feels like an emotional rollercoaster. But you are ultimately in the driver seat and have the choice to balance the scales or weigh heavy to one side or the other.

Week of Oct 6th-12th

Eight of Wands

After a harder pervious week we can now enter a new one with hard earned knowledge that will help bring us much needed change into our lives. You've made it through and have been successful and its time to take what you learned and apply it to your present. Look back on last week and see what help or what didn't and use that to your full advantage. If last week was such a low point and that you feel like you're starting all over again just know you have the determination and self confidence to succeed.

Eight arrows in your quiver, one target in the distance. You have tired to hit the mark and gotten close but still have some fine tuning to do. But even though you haven't been as successful as you have hoped or envision doesn't mean you aren't capable. Sometimes it take practice and luckily you have Eight more arrows to try again with. Don't take this as you are moving backwards. With each time you haven't gotten it "right" or where you want to be this gives you more chances to learn, grow and change your approach. Fail isn't a word to use here, but if you hear yourself saying it this week just change the narrtive to the word. When you break it down FAIL it stands for first attempt in learning.

Week of September 29th- October 5th

Five of Cups

Get ready for some emotions this week. With the seasons change its easy to look back on the summer and see all the things we didn't accomplish or the wish list that grew to long and didn't happen. Maybe work got in the way of fun, or maybe the colder seasons are not your favorite and your mourning the loss of the longer warmer days. Whatever your situation is this is a reminder that the year is not over. You still have time to accomplish goals, you still have the chance to be outside and soak in some sun. Just because something is over doesn't mean what around the corner isn't just as exciting.

This crow looks that the three tipped over cups that are losing its contents. The crow looks in shame and is already grieving what it could have gotten from these cups. They could have been his energy, his nutrition, or his dreams. The crow now feels lost and unsure what to do or where to go so he sits and mourns what could have been. But if the crow just turned around it would see two full cups behind him full of possibility. If the crow would just move and start to look around it would see that he has more going for him then to only see what was taken away.

September 22nd-28th

The Queen of Penacles Reversed

Things feel uneven in life right now. There's a power dynamic taking over called greed that you need to get in check before it becomes the center of your world. Life is about balance but when it comes to the finer things in life we sometimes focus our energies too much on money, materials or pleasures. Its time to reevaluate what is more important in your life and how you can start focusing more on bringing in the relationships that have more meaning into the forefront on your life. Hard work pays off but not at the risk of losing the people or things that mean more to you.

When a Queen is reversed it here to say you've been given a message from someone with higher knowledge that you turned a deaf ear to. Someone out there is seeing you struggle with over indulgence in some aspect of your life and instead of being open to the sound advice you decided it wasn't something to worry about. This Queen in the card had her materialistic lifestyle sitting on her lap while she just gazes at it in awe when what she should really be doing is take an active interest in the court around her. Who she has rather than what she has would serve her more. Open your ears to the people around you. You might just learn an important lesson.

Week of August 25th-31st

Ten of Wands

Feel like you've got too much on the go? Or that you have an all encompassing task that is just demanding too much from you? This card is here to say that its time to focus all your efforts to get this done now. Don't put it off for another day, then things will compile more and the task will be ten times more difficult. You know what this task is and its not something you've been looking forward to but try to look at what accomplishment will look and feel like, this will give you the inspiration you've been lacking. Sometimes we need to look at things from a different angle or approach things with child like enthusiasm to keep those negative voices in our heads from popping up.

This solider has a heavy load and he's feeling the weight. He cant stop and put it down and lighten the load this time because he's on his own. He has a time limit to get into the safely of the castle before dark or he may even have nefarious groups right behind him. He's had to put his head down and work hard to find his strength to get this done all while feeling weighed down. But the flip side is he's almost there. He can see the castle in the distance. So no matter how tough times may feel this week know there is an end in sight. Get the work done and you'll feel lighter for it.

Week of Aug 17th-24th

The Queen of Swords

The queen can rule with an iron fist. Sometimes it might feel harsh or cutting but she will never give you anything you aren't capable of taking on. In fact she wants to see you succeed even when it feels like she doesn't. She lives her life with dignity and grace and wants to see those same traits in others. She is here to let you know that this week instead of looking to others for validation or support its time to look inwards. You are able to accomplish more on your own at times in your life and this is one of them. The queen can be insistent and work on her timeline which may not feel like it works with yourself but sometimes we need that push to get things done we've been putting off or feeling like we won't do as good of a job as we thought. Trust in her process and you'll be surprised what you'll get done.

This cat sits regally on her couch throne. Her stare may make you feel shes judging you but in actuality shes trying to show you her success and that its in your future as well if you are willing to listen to her advice. Does she have high standards, absolutely. But she has done the hard work to get where she needed to be and has gained the intelligence to give her the independence and self sufficiency she needed. She just wants others to gain this as well to rule themselves and be their final judge rather than others. Notice the sky and birds in the wallpaper, this does not mean she holds herself so high her head is in the sky, it actually means the hight of her knowledge and inquisitiveness. So heed her words as she has the education to back it up.
