As an American woman, the recent overturning of Roe V. Wade has shattered my heart. So this week, I am going to show you another way to use Tarot. This week’s reading focuses on reproductive rights.

If I’m being honest, this was one of the harder readings for me to do, as so many emotions have been brought up because of it. It took effort for me to sit down and just listen.

What do we need to know about reproductive rights?
9 of Cups

Living in a country with reproductive rights is cause for a celebration, but the world is moving in a restrictive direction. Emotions are running high at the moment. This recent decision was a wish come true for the Christian right.

Usually this card means a celebration is imminent, but what I saw in this card was a man guarding ovaries. I can see this meaning two things: This card is a sign to protect reproductive rights or that a man is standing in the way of true reproductive freedom.

While you may feel at a loss about what to do, what you can do is practice gratitude for what you do have. Doing so will remind you that even in a period of loss, you still have abundance.

What can we do individually to protect reproductive rights?
3 of Cups (reversed)

The first words that came to me when I pulled this card was, “Rise up!” This card is a call to reconnect with people you care about, as it may remind you that you are not alone.

Perhaps that’s how revolutions are born, with simple friendly connections.

If you’ve found that this information is a bit too much, take time away from social events if necessary. You may need to take some alone time if you are feeling overwhelmed.

What can we do as a collective to protect reproductive rights?
The Star

The recent overturning of Roe V. Wade was difficult news to digest for most.This card usually comes up after a major difficult change or traumatic event.
It is time to examine our relationship with vulnerability, as it is seen in many cultures as weakness, but is it? What if we all decided that vulnerability is actually a strength?

This card is a sign that renewed hope and faith are coming your way and that you should continue following your passions.

Take this time to open your heart and realize your inner-strength.

Here is my reading for the week of June 20th, 2022

This reading will go differently than the norm, as I pulled the Tower for Air signs. It did what it does best and stole the entire show, which means that the other signs will also feel the burn of this card. Even if you are not an air sign, I would recommend reading it this week, as it may give you further insights.
Earth
Ta**us, Virgo, Capricorn
Queen of Cups (reversed)

The results of the Tower for you will be a sense of overwhelm. The Tower represents either a major unexpected change or a revelation. It seems you will have difficulty with your emotions this week. You may experience an emotional outburst.

You feel like life may be getting away from you and your usual ability to focus has been out of sorts lately. This could be the consequence of living through the wildness of the past few years.

Either way, this card recommends that you take a much needed rest and remember why life is worth living. Draw your attention towards your inner-self and focus on your emotional well-being. It is time to address your emotional issues to prevent further out-of-control episodes from happening.

Air
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The Tower

Oh, the Tower. If you are unfamiliar with this card’s imagery in the Rider-Waite Deck, it is of a tower being struck by lightning, with two people falling out of the tower head first. It is quite haunting and generally causes people to freak out. As it’s core meaning, it means that you will experience some sort of major unexpected change this week or you will have a life changing revelation.

You may feel that this change is coming as a personal attack and it very well could be. However, you can only control how you feel. Remember that when you feel attacked.

Perhaps one of the revelations could be that you’ve been living your life on unstable grounds. No matter what happens, it is time to rebuild and you will. It could also come in the form of studying. Have you been considering pursuing further education? Maybe now is the time to look into how to do it.

Fire
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
The Hermit

The change from the Tower will set you on a journey or personal introspection. You’re on a search for greatness, but is it worth shielding this light you possess from the public?

Part of this journey is for you to walk alone, but remember to be alone in moderation. It can be very healing to take a break from the world, but like anything else, too much alone time can be very bad for your mental health.

This is the perfect time to go on a retreat or a pilgrimage of sorts, as the Tower will send you into a pivotal point in your life. Take this time to meditate, contemplate, and re-evaluate what you should do.

Water
Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
Ace of Pentacles

Perhaps you will have a positive benefit from the Tower’s upcoming change, as your world is becoming filled with stability. After years of instability, this has become a welcome gift to you.

The time has come for you, a time of new beginnings and adventures. Enjoy this abundance coming your way. You deserve it. Indulge.

Here is my collective reading for the week of June 13th, 2022:

What do we need to know about Love?
6 of Wands (reversed)

Have you been feeling down and broken, like you’ve been kicked off a horse, recently? Perhaps you’ve experienced a romantic fall from grace of sorts. This week is all about the journey back to the confident self. What can you do to build your confidence?

One way you can build confidence is to first define success in your own words. What does success mean to you? Answering this question may surprise you.

What do we need to know about Career?
Ace of Swords

There is a new way of working that is currently being developed. We can’t go back to how it used to be - see this change as a gift. Perhaps the pandemic has steered you in a different direction and what was once thought to be a curse, was actually a blessing.

If you’ve been thinking of starting a new project, this is the perfect time to start it! Even more so if this project requires your intellectual and communication skills.

What do I need to know about Essence?
Queen of Pentacles

You are currently living in an abundant world, despite the difficult time you’ve endured. These are the beginnings of light at the end of the tunnel. Shine bright.

This card is a call to practice gratitude for what you have rather than focusing on what you have lost.

07/06/2022

Here is my reading for the week of June 6th,, 2022.
Earth
Ta**us, Virgo, Capricorn
3 of Cups (reversed)

Because the 7 of Swords is also in this reading, it could also indicate relationship issues involving infidelity and betrayal.

Take a rest and celebrate your friends, as this issue may get the best of you.

Air
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The Fool (reversed)

You are worried about what comes next and you know that you have no choice but to do this. If you don’t move on, you won’t be able to move forward. Remember your beginner’s mind and live in the moment. Excitement comes from experiencing something new. How can you bring about more play in your life?

This card is a call to let go of your need to control everything. Consult your spiritual practice and know that it has your back, no matter what.

Fire
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
5 of Cups (reversed)

Are you feeling isolated and depressed recently? You seem stuck in a rut and instead of processing it, you continue to let it grow. Who can you contact that can help you?

It could also be that you’ve experienced a personal setback. Take this time to open up to people you trust, as they may not be aware of how much pain you truly have. It’s ok to make a mistake, so forgive yourself, for you are only human.

Water
Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
7 of Swords (reversed)

Are you aware of your toxic traits? Perhaps you are still holding onto something from your past. How can you learn to process these feelings? This pain won’t go away until you let it. Being aware of your toxic traits teaches you not to use them and to forgive yourself when you do.

Dealing with deception lately? You may need to tell someone you trust something you’ve been holding onto, because it is preventing you from moving forward. This will be difficult to talk about, but processing it will give you some relief.

24/05/2022

Here is my reading for the week of May 23rd, 2022. I realized that trying to read 12 cards every week was overwhelming. I’ve also started a new job recently and it has been taking up more of my time.

I created a new spread for the collective. I will be reading for each element. If you know your moon and rising signs, those cards may apply to you as well.

Earth
Ta**us, Virgo, Capricorn
Queen of Pentacles

Hello queen earth mother! You are a bad bitch and it is time to embrace it. Take this as an opportunity to let go and indulge in pleasurable pursuits.

You are currently maintaining a good work/life balance or striving for one. How can you make your life just a little bit easier? This is a call to continue creating a calmer life for yourself. This is a good time to focus on self-development.

You tend to overwork yourself and it is important to schedule some “me” time. You have an abundance of love to share, but the best way to do it is to rest.

Air
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
6 of Wands (reversed)

You’re feeling insecure about your style of leadership. This is manifesting into feelings of disappointment and failure. Talk to someone who will give you the praise you need.

Now is the time to create your own definition of success by asking yourself, “What does success mean to you?”

Fire
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
10 of Cups (reversed)

You are at a point in life where you are reconsidering whole new ideas about what family is exactly. Perhaps you’ve decided that you don’t want the traditional family structure and you’re wondering if you’ve made the right choice. Believe in what you want, because that is the correct decision.

You may also be seeking greater harmony in your relationships. How do you want to give and receive love? Explore what your love language could be.

If you are in a relationship, there is an issue that could lead to divorce or some sort of separation if it isn’t handled properly. Handle with care.

Water
Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
Temperance

This week, it is all about finding your flow again. Get your life back into order and balance. Focus on that and it will lead to new ideas.

Do your best to remain calm and patient. Focus only on what you can control.

12/05/2022

For those of you who read my weekly readings, do you prefer the weekly general readings or the horoscope readings?

08/05/2022

Here is my reading for the week of May 9th, 2022:

I am going to try something different this week by doing a collective reading by zodiac signs. Let me know what you think!

Aries
7 of Cups (reversed)

You are overwhelmed by choices, but not all of them are a blessing. Quite a few of them are curses. However, you can trust your intuition on making this choice. What is it that you want?

Come up with your own way to make decisions that will serve you. Reflect on what you want in the long-term. What is important to you?

This is also a time where you’ve been able to see things more clearly and you're wiser from your most recent struggles. You are now ready to join the world.

In your love life, you know what you want and need in a relationship. It is time to take the next step with one of them.

Ta**us
Wheel of Fortune (reversed)

You may experience some unexpected change this week. Take control of your destiny to get your life back on track. Make plans B, C, and D!

Change is the only constant and starts where you are right now. You may be in the process of breaking a negative cycle, which will lead to a transformation of your emotional self.

Gemini
5 of Wands

You are in competition with others and it is stopping you from moving forward. It is also creating disharmony. In the end, it’s up to you to extend the olive branch. Embrace your uniqueness and learn how to stand out. Try to focus on what you can do right now instead of what you believe you should be doing. Do it now!

Learn how to work with others by practicing active listening and encouraging those around to do the same. When people feel heard, they always surprise you.

If you are in some form of a leadership role, create a constructive environment where both you and your team can speak freely. Your group’s energy is currently all over the place.

Cancer
8 of Wands (reversed)

Slow down and consider your next steps. You’re moving too quickly. This is leading you straight into conflict.

Have you been resisting change lately? This is a sign to accept it and watch the expansive growth happen.

Expect significant delays and keep looking for alternatives despite the obstacles. Remember, tough times don’t last forever.

Leo
The Empress (reversed)

Time to make self-care a priority by doing things with people that bring you joy.

Take a look into your divine feminine. You may be struggling with body image issues. You can combat this by taking care of your own needs. What makes you feel beautiful? Embrace your divine feminine and it could lead to a great personal transformation.

Connect with nature. Now is the perfect time to book a weekend away into the countryside.
Virgo
Death (reversed)

You are on the verge of meaningful change, but you’re resisting it. Embrace any changes that come your way. One way to help you is through an affirmation similar to “I accept change in all forms.”

Don’t fear the symbolism of this card, as it doesn’t mean it will be a negative change. You may be undergoing a massive personal transformation, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

This is a great time to release what no longer serves you and guide yourself towards your divine feminine.

Libra
Queen of Pentacles (reversed)

Take this week and focus on self-care. You are currently having issues with a work/life balance. As in, you are too focused on your finances and have neglected taking care of yourself.

Since there are other Pentacles this week, you are having financial concerns. Paired with the 5 of Pentacles, it means that you are on your way to better finances.

Be on the lookout for a gossip this week, because they will be looking for drama. On the other hand, try connecting with a woman in power. You may both have issues with ego, but if you can overcome it, you will achieve something great.

Scorpio
5 of Pentacles (reversed)

It is time to examine your inner-thoughts about finances. You may be experiencing an internal poverty and living in a scarcity mindset. Stop focusing on what you lack. What do you already have?

You’ve had a rough time financially and this card is a sign that you are on your way out of it. Remember to ask for help if you need it. Help can be a hard thing for you to ask for, but how can people know you need it unless you tell them? Challenge yourself to try something new.

Sagittarius
The Chariot (reversed)

Learn how to stay in one place for now.

You are pushing a project forward in a specific way that isn’t working. It’s time to find another way. Revaluate what works and what doesn’t. If you don’t, it may lead to hopelessness.
Worry about only what you can control

Capricorn
9 of Cups (reversed)

Does it feel like you have everything, and yet, something is missing? Find what is missing in your life.

It could be that you’ve been partying too much and now, it’s time to take a step back. It could also be the opposite, that you haven’t been social enough, leading you down a lonely path.

Instead of wallowing in your sadness, start a project that brings you joy. What is one thing you will do the rest of your life, even if it is for free? A great way to bring more happiness into your life is to help someone you love or do volunteer work.



Aquarius
King of Wands (reversed)

Work on your leadership skills, as you may be setting unrealistic expectations for yourself or others. Figuring out how to be a better leader will lead to transformational success. How can you make it happen?

Have you been feeling alone lately? It may be time to reach out to some friends and have a party!
Pisces
The Lovers

You are building great connections and creating meaningful relationships, while these are usually romantic types, that isn’t always the case. It’s time to embrace all types of love.

Be prepared for an overwhelming amount of joy this week and perhaps even a lover that brings balance!

Here is my reading for the week of May 2nd, 2022:

If you follow my readings, you may notice that I pulled the exact same cards that I did last week. The difference is that the reversed cards are now upright, which means that I learned the lesson of those particular cards. The card that was upright last week is now reversed, which I’m guessing means that I’m still learning that one.

What do I need to know about Love?
King of Cups

You know how to remain calm among the chaos and you may need to use that particular talent this week. This is a skill that you have mastered and it is one that usually takes a lifetime to learn.

Be firm about your personal boundaries, especially when it comes to relationships. You may meet an upstanding suitor this week or if you’ve been thinking about dating again, it’s time to get back out there.

Remember the lessons from this card and stay true to yourself.

What do I need to know about Career?
Knight of Swords (reversed)

Pause before rushing in - Make sure you know what it is that you want. Know your worth.

You may have more energy than usual this week and this is a call to find a way to channel and release it. If you don’t do so, it will find its way out, usually at the most inconvenient time.

Slow down and observe. You are missing a major change that is important.

Since this card is next to the King of Cups, it represents a potential offer that you may not want. Don’t waver.

What do I need to know about Essence?
Strength

Your superpower is the ability to tame the wildest of beasts. Remember that this week when things feel out of control. People tend to underestimate your power, because you don’t use force or control tactics to get what you want. To some people, your power is invisible, because you use the art of giving suggestions and freedom to choose. If you feel insecure about anything, remember this inner-strength you possess.

Be patient.

26/04/2022

Here is my reading for the week of April 25th, 2022:

What do I need to know about Love?
King of Cups (reversed)

While you usually thrive in chaos, this card shows that perhaps, you’ve had enough and you’re struggling to keep your patience. You’re more prone to emotional upset than usual. Do your best to stay in control, even if you feel triggered.

You may also experience intense emotions buried deep into your subconscious. This is an invitation to take a journey into your subconscious through meditation, journaling, or whatever it is you practice.

If this card symbolizes a person, it represents a person who uses emotional blackmail to get what they want or your intense emotions may be around a person from the past that still has an emotional hold on you. Speak up if someone is taking advantage of you.

What do I need to know about Career?
Knight of Swords

You are in a period where you are rushing right in and this card encourages you not to look back. You should move forward and be assertive, if you must. Major change is here. Reach out and grab what you want.

Since this card is next to the King of Cups, it represents a potential offer that you may not want. Don’t waver.

What do I need to know about Essence?
Strength (reversed)

Think about your connection to your pet and how they have been there for you during the worst of times. Remember to nurture and love your pet, just like any good mother would.

The lion in the card represents passions and desires. Which on the negative end, means that you may be more prone to explosive outbursts and hasty thinking. What you can do is channel this energy into something positive - you just need to know how. Start with something that brings you joy.

The following is an example of a reading I did last week. I’ll call this person the communication comedian. Please let me know in the comments below or by PM if you’d like to try out a FREE In-depth reading.

Situation: Issues with communication during stand up

Situation
5 of Swords

When it comes to conflict, you must pick your battles. While this card is vibing with me that you feel defeated, there is also a possibility that you are also trying to win at any cost and it is hurting you. You may be seeing your comedian friends as threats to your success.

You’ve been trying your best, but still feel like a failure. How can you learn from your sets that bomb? This may end up being one of the toughest battles yet. Prepare yourself as though you are a warrior.

This is also a call to surrender to your imperfections. How can you make “lost in translation” work for you? One way is to speak your true feelings and don’t hold back. This card in astrology is an Aquarius Uranus, which means that you need to tap into your rebellious nature and your way of breaking traditions.

You may also have a problem with self-sabotage.You are likely standing in your own way. Do you feel like giving up? Learn how to communicate your jokes more effectively.

This card also calls for taking a break from it if you need it. Giving yourself time to reflect may be what you need to do.

Action
The Fool

Since your reading is mostly major cards, this will be a life-changing event that will have long-term effects.

When it comes to the Fool, remember your beginner’s mind. If you have read Shakespeare, you may have found that the characters named the Fool are usually the smartest ones. It is also a fitting card for a comedian, as you are artists that explain the world in a hilarious way.

This card calls for you to follow your heart and dive right in, even if it means taking a break first. You know that what you do for fun is kinda insane, but you need to trust your performance-self. Think about the times where you killed. Surrender to that side of yourself. Before performances, I take a deep breath and say, “Girl, you got this.” Find your way to do that. Trust the process.

You may also have issues when it comes to perfectionism, but perfection doesn’t exist. Tap into your creative mind and your spontaneity. Take risks! This could lead to more powerful stand-up.
This is also a reminder that comedy is supposed to be fun. Keep experimenting and that bombing is the beginning of the road to success. How can you take yourself to a place of wonder and curiosity? Bring out that inner-child!

The general advice from this card is to feel the fear and do it anyway! Trust yourself. You got this. This card also is Aquarius Uranus, which again means to tap into rebellious and cycle breaking sides. While new chapters bring new challenges, that is what makes life exciting. Look back on when comedy gave you butterflies. Take that leap of faith and go for it! Your fear is holding you back.

If you need support, do you have friends that you can reach out to?

Based on what I’ve seen from your comedy, you are absolutely hilarious. If I were to give feedback, I would say to edit your stories. What doesn’t need to be there? I still remember the joke you did, but it was really long. Think of it as words costing money. I think your joke would have been better if you edited it and it has stuck with me, so your message from it was really important.

Outcome
The High Priestess

Tap into your divine feminine. What is that exactly? We all have both feminine and masculine energy. This is a call to get to know yours, especially when it comes to trusting your intuition. Balance your body, mind, spirit, and heart. Finding your balance will help your ideas flow more freely.

It is also worth knowing that you have to take both the good and the bad to truly love something. Let go of your need to control the outcome. Enjoy the journey. Reflect on those times where you’ve bombed to revaluate what you can do differently. It’s likely that you have a block from fear, so ask yourself, “What is stopping me from progressing? What do I need to process?” This card is a Cancer Moon, which deals with unconscious emotions. Try to find what’s overwhelming you with fear.

If you are being hard on yourself, think about the kind of advice you’d give to a friend in the same situation and use that advice on yourself.

16/04/2022

16/04/2022

While this wasn’t originally the plan, given that it is Easter, now is the perfect time to unveil a project I’ve been working on. I have decided to read the Bible as an adult and I’d like to share my findings.

A few months ago, I briefly watched the show, “Greenleaf,” on Netflix. I was really fascinated by the main character, a pastor that moves back home after living away from it for a while. She explains to someone in the show that her sermons feel as though spirit is talking through her. That’s also how it feels when I do a Tarot reading, which led me to realize the amount of religious symbolism in the Rider-Waite deck (most common deck used by Tarot readers).

I’m tired of the constant belief that it is demonic, because it isn’t. I’ve decided that it would be a good idea to read the Bible in adulthood for my own Tarot study. I’m going to pair Tarot cards with Bible stories to enrich both the meanings of the cards and the biblical stories themselves.

The last time I read the Bible was probably in high school, also the same time I lost my faith in Christianity. While my Atheism softened and eventually molded into the Buddhist Spiritual Witch before you today, I’ve been doing a ton of reconnecting and it’s time to look back on one of the most famous books in the world.

I’m going to do my analysis like this:

I’m going to follow literary rules and escape into the world, the plots, with God being the protagonist.
I’m going to prove why it shouldn’t be taken literally, but rather as a tool for developing your relationship with God.
I’m going to deep dive into some of the verses that caused oppression and ones that definitely could, if interpreted by the wrong hands.
I might be snarky sometimes.
I’m going to do my best to keep a beginner’s mind.

Well, here goes nothing:

Reading Genesis as whole makes it obvious of its major theme: life and death. All of the major stories have a degree of this, Genesis as a whole goes through generations of people more or less making the same mistakes, but with new, horrifying ones that affect the generation as a whole*. In the scriptures, God allows each generation to suffer, which leads me to Buddhism’s 1st and 2nd Noble Truths: Life causes suffering and suffering is optional. It feels as though it is a metaphor for life itself.

In all of the stories, except for maybe Noah, God continues to bless people that don’t really practice the kindness I thought they did as a child. Most of the characters in Genesis were extremely flawed and sometimes awful. The 2nd half of Genesis gets really wild, with just about every atrocity known to humankind. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it always did.

There was also a ton of scripture devoted to lineage, even introducing characters that aren’t always relevant. From what I understand, it is there to show the passage of time and how generations change, but the suffering is the same.

Scientifically, there is no way people lived for hundreds of years as stated in the Bible. The reality is more like 30 years. In Buddhism, they believe in reincarnation and the idea of karma. Most people see karma as a what goes around, comes around kinda thing, but that is only a sliver of it. What I’ve come to believe through my studies about karma is more about learning life lessons. You will keep going through the same lesson, again and again, until you truly learn it. I think the ages of the people represent how long it took each of them to learn all of these lessons.

Also as a child, I remember being told that God is a perfect, all-knowing being, but after reading Genesis, I no longer believe that. First of all, Adam and Eve were made in God’s image, so wouldn’t that mean God isn’t perfect, too? The first half of Genesis, he seems to have high expectations of his children and gets angry when things don’t go how he expected. He even shows some remorse after the flood on how he will never destroy his creatures again. He doesn’t live up to that, though.

As for the Tarot cards that go with Genesis themes are the Lovers, Death, and the Fool.

I chose the Lovers card because of the Adam and Eve symbolism on the card. If you get this card in a reading, it usually means that you are building a great connection with someone, whether it be a lover, friend, or family member. It is also an Air element card, which connects directly to the biblical symbolism of God’s Air*, which both gives life and takes it away.

When reading Genesis, the Death card and its meaning are spread throughout the book. While the card could mean actual death, most of the time it means that you are going through a major change that will lead to rebirth. For example, Eve ate the apple and they were no longer in Eden. Think of it as a metaphorical death, much like the phoenix, you, too, will rise. If Eve hadn’t eaten the apple, there would be no story. There would be no suffering and it seems that humans need to suffer in order to learn life’s toughest lessons.

Finally, the Fool represents new beginnings and that you should dive right in. In the card it is a picture of a person that is about to step off a cliff. There is a lot of wandering in Genesis and it reminded me of the message in this card. It is also a reminder to keep a beginner’s mind.

Now tell me, what do you think?

*I’m not completely doing this analysis alone, I have been listening to podcast to help me with parts that don’t really make sense.
