  • Life in Focus: A Year Ahead Spread

    Life in Focus: A Year Ahead Spread

    As we approach 2026, the cards are a powerful tool for helping us find our direction. I’ve always loved pulling 12 cards to get a snapshot of each month (and I still do!), but when it comes to meaningful guidance around the most important areas of life, that approach can feel a bit too restrictive.

    Life rarely unfolds in tidy calendar blocks. Some themes linger. Others surge unexpectedly. And a few quietly influence everything behind the scenes. That’s why I created Life in Focus: A Year Ahead Spread.

    This spread is designed to help you step back and look at the bigger picture. Instead of asking what happens when, it explores what matters most—the core areas shaping your lived experience throughout the year.

    This spread is especially well-suited for the start of a new year, birthdays, the beginning of a new life chapter, or anytime you want to realign with what’s unfolding beneath the surface.

    If you’re also thinking practically about what 2026 might require from you—goals, priorities, and next steps—you’ll find a companion post on My Divine Business that focuses on how to begin planning for the year ahead with clarity and intention.

    Picture of the spread

    About the Life in Focus Spread

    The Life in Focus: A Year Ahead Spread uses seven cards to explore the themes that will have the greatest influence over the coming year. Rather than predicting specific events, this spread helps you understand the energetic landscape you’re moving through—so you can make clearer, more aligned choices as the year unfolds.

    Each card represents a key area of life you’re likely to revisit again and again, making this a spread you can return to throughout the year for perspective and grounding.

    Card 1: The Tone of the Year

    This card sets the overarching energy of the year. It reflects the emotional climate, underlying lesson, or dominant influence shaping how everything else unfolds.

    Interpretation Examples

    • The Sun – A year of visibility, confidence, and momentum. Growth comes from allowing success to feel safe and deserved.
    • The Hermit – A quieter year focused on discernment, inner authority, and choosing depth over noise.
    • Five of Cups – A year that begins with reassessment or disappointment, inviting emotional resilience and a shift in perspective.

    Card 2: Love & Relationships

    This position explores how connection shows up throughout the year—romantic relationships, close partnerships, family dynamics, and emotional exchange.

    Interpretation Examples

    • Two of Cups – Mutual respect and emotional balance strengthen key relationships.
    • The Lovers – Important choices around commitment, alignment, or shared values shape your relational landscape.
    • Three of Swords – Honest communication may feel uncomfortable at first, but it clears the way for healing and stronger boundaries.

    Card 3: Money & Resources

    This card reflects your relationship with money, abundance, time, and energetic investment throughout the year.

    Interpretation Examples

    • Ace of Pentacles – New opportunities for financial growth, stability, or long-term investment emerge.
    • Four of Pentacles – A tendency to hold too tightly highlights scarcity patterns that want attention.
    • Six of Pentacles – Balance between giving and receiving becomes essential for sustainable abundance.

    Card 4: Career & Purpose

    This position highlights your work life, sense of direction, and how aligned you feel with what you’re building or contributing.

    Interpretation Examples

    • The Emperor – Leadership, structure, and strategic planning play a defining role this year.
    • Eight of Pentacles – Skill-building, focus, and consistency lead to meaningful progress.
    • Ten of Wands – Overcommitment or burnout signals the need to release unnecessary responsibilities.

    Card 5: Health & Well-Being

    This card offers guidance around physical vitality, emotional balance, and nervous-system care. It’s about support and awareness, not prediction.

    Interpretation Examples

    • Temperance – Moderation, rhythm, and integration support long-term balance.
    • Nine of Swords – Stress or mental overload calls for gentler self-talk and intentional rest.
    • Strength – Inner resilience and self-compassion become the foundation for well-being.

    Card 6: Self-Growth & Inner Work

    This position reveals the personal evolution unfolding beneath the surface—lessons, mindset shifts, and healing themes shaping the year.

    Interpretation Examples

    • The High Priestess – Intuition and inner knowing guide important decisions.
    • Death – Deep transformation clears outdated patterns and identities to make room for renewal.
    • Page of Cups – Emotional openness, curiosity, and creativity support growth and healing.

    Card 7: The Key to Thriving This Year

    This final card offers guidance on how to navigate the year successfully. It’s the perspective or practice that helps everything else fall into place.

    Interpretation Examples

    • The Star – Trust, hope, and faith in the process restore clarity and alignment.
    • King of Pentacles – Grounded leadership, consistency, and long-term thinking create stability.
    • The Tower – Flexibility and willingness to adapt allow necessary change to lead to something stronger and more aligned

    Closing Reflection

    Life in Focus: A Year Ahead Spread isn’t about predicting every twist and turn. It’s about understanding the themes shaping your year so you can move forward with clarity, intention, and trust.

    Return to this spread whenever the year feels noisy or overwhelming. The insights stay steady—even as you grow into them.

  • The Quiet Shift – A Winter Solstice Card Spread

    The Quiet Shift – A Winter Solstice Card Spread

    Introduction

    Winter Solstice always feels a little different to me. It’s technically the darkest day of the year, but it never feels heavy in the same way other dark moments do. It’s more like a pause. A breath. That strange in-between moment where nothing is happening on the outside, but everything is quietly rearranging itself on the inside.

    This isn’t the kind of energy that screams New Year, New You. It’s subtler than that. More like a low-volume inner nudge that says, pay attention… something is shifting. That’s exactly what this spread is designed for. Not big declarations. Not forced clarity. Just an honest check-in with what’s changing beneath the surface before the days start getting longer again.

    🦋Want a deeper insight? Read Winter Solstice: A Quiet Shift for Your Career and Business on MyDivineBusiness.com.

    Why This Spread Is Helpful

    This spread is especially useful if you’re in that weird space where you know something’s different, but you can’t quite put your finger on it yet. Winter Solstice doesn’t ask you to fix anything or figure everything out. It asks you to notice. To slow down. To listen a little more closely to what’s already happening internally. The Quiet Shift gives you language for feelings that haven’t fully formed yet and helps you move into the next season with a little more self-trust and a lot less pressure.

    🎴Card 1: Rebirth & Renewal

    What is ready to be reborn within me as the light returns?

    This card points to what’s quietly waking back up after a long stretch of dormancy. Not the flashy stuff. The subtle stuff.

    Sample interpretations:
    • The Star — Hope is coming back online, even if you’re still cautious about it. You’re starting to believe again, but you’re not rushing it.
    • Five of Pentacles — Renewal begins by changing how you see yourself, your worth, or the support available to you. This is an inside job first.
    • Page of Wands — Curiosity is creeping back in. You don’t need a plan yet. Just follow what feels interesting and see where it leads.

    🎴Card 2: Darkness & Light

    What inner shadow must be acknowledged so my light can grow?

    This isn’t about beating yourself up. It’s about being honest about what’s been quietly influencing your choices.

    Sample interpretations:
    • The Sun — You might be putting pressure on yourself to stay positive when something actually needs to be felt, not reframed.
    • Nine of Swords — Worry or mental overthinking has been loud lately. This is a reminder that gentleness works better than control here.
    • King of Cups — Emotional balance is available, but only if you let yourself feel things instead of managing them away.

    🎴Card 3: Introspection & Stillness

    What inner wisdom is emerging in the quiet?

    This card reflects what you already know, but maybe haven’t slowed down enough to hear clearly.

    Sample interpretations:
    • The Hermit — Pulling back isn’t avoidance right now. It’s how clarity finds you.
    • Four of Cups — That “meh” feeling might actually be pointing to something important you’ve been ignoring.
    • Queen of Swords — Clear thinking is returning once you give yourself permission to be honest instead of agreeable.

    🎴Card 4: Cycles & Transformation

    What inner shift is preparing me for the next phase of my path?

    This is the quiet internal adjustment that happens before anything visibly changes.

    Sample interpretations:
    • Wheel of Fortune — Timing is shifting in your favor, but it’s not something you can rush. This is about moving with the cycle, not forcing it.
    • Five of Cups — Disappointment still needs to be acknowledged. Letting yourself feel it fully is what actually frees you.
    • Queen of Pentacles — You’re redefining what stability looks like. Less hustle. More support. More sustainability.

    🎴Card 5: Hope & New Beginnings

    What promise does the returning light hold for my path ahead?

    This card offers reassurance, not guarantees. Think direction, not destination.

    Sample interpretations:
    • Judgement — There’s a strong inner call toward your next chapter. You’re being invited to show up more fully as yourself.
    • Ten of Swords — Something really is done. And while that may sting a bit, it clears space for a genuine fresh start.
    • Knight of Pentacles — Progress won’t be fast, but it will be steady. Consistency beats urgency here.

    Closing Invocation

    Winter landscape background with forest of trees against a night sky

    As the light slowly returns, I allow myself to move just as slowly. I trust the shifts happening beneath the surface, even when I can’t explain them yet. I release what has finished its work and welcome what’s quietly taking shape. May I step forward with patience, clarity, and a little more faith in my own timing. So it is.

  • Tricks, Treats, and Transformations: The Samhain Card Spread

    Tricks, Treats, and Transformations: The Samhain Card Spread

    Samhain is the ancient Celtic celebration of endings, beginnings, and the beautiful connection with those who came before us. It’s celebrated from sunset on October 31 to sunset on November 1.  It marks the halfway point between the Fall and Winter Solstice. It’s also considered the Pagan New Year.

    The veil between worlds is thin and the air feels electric with possibility. This is the time to honor what’s passed. To listen for whispers from your guides. To plant intentions for what’s about to bloom. Whether you’re stirring up personal magic or plotting your next big business move, Samhain is transformation season.

    Curious about the deeper meaning of this mystical time? Take a peek at my Samhain blog post here for the stories, rituals, and rich energy behind this powerful portal.

    🔮 Preparing for Your Reading

    Set the scene before you shuffle. Clear your space and clear your mind. A quick smoke cleanse, a sound bath, or a spritz of your favorite spray works beautifully. Let the old energy drift away.

    Light a candle or a stick of incense. Invite in clarity and calm. Take a slow breath and hold your deck in both hands. Feel its weight. Feel your energy connect.

    Set your intention. You might say, “As I turn the wheel, may these cards reveal the wisdom I need and the guidance meant for me.” Simple. Direct. Heartfelt.

    Now shuffle. No rush. Let the rhythm settle you. When the moment feels right, pull your seven cards and lay them out. Your Samhain story is ready to unfold.

    🕸️ The Spread

    Card 1. From the Grave – The Most Important Lesson of the Past Year

    This card reveals what’s run its course. It highlights what you’ve learned, what you’ve survived, and what’s better left buried. It’s about wisdom earned through experience—sometimes the hard way.

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    • What challenge taught me the most this year?

    • What patterns or beliefs am I ready to release?

    🃏Example Cards:

    • Five of Cups – You learned that loss doesn’t define you; it refines you. What you thought was an ending turned out to be emotional freedom.

    • Queen of Pentacles – You found strength in nurturing your goals and setting healthy boundaries around your energy.

    • The Tower – Chaos stripped away false structures. Painful? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely. You’re rebuilding stronger than before.

    This card shines a light on what destiny wants you to learn next. It’s your sneak peek into the next chapter of your evolution.

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    • What theme is repeating, and what can I do differently this time?

    • How can I approach the coming year with greater wisdom?

    🃏Example Cards:

    • Three of Wands – Expansion is on the horizon. Dream bigger, plan smarter, and don’t play small.

    • Knight of Cups – Follow your heart, but keep your feet on the ground. Inspiration without direction fades fast.

    • Justice – The universe is balancing the scales. Be honest, fair, and act with integrity—it will pay off tenfold.

    Card 3. Beyond the Veil – Messages from the Spirit World

    This is the whisper from your ancestors and guides. It’s not about fear—it’s about faith in the unseen support around you.

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    • Where do I create my own roadblocks?

    • What’s the hidden blessing in this challenge?

    🃏Example Cards:

    • Seven of Swords – Watch for self-sabotage or imposter syndrome creeping in. Honesty (with yourself) clears confusion.

    • Page of Wands – Avoid shiny-object syndrome. Finish what you start.

    • The Devil – You’re not trapped. That limitation is just fear in a fancy costume.

    Card 5. Treat – Opportunities and Successes

    Now for the good stuff. This card reveals what’s ripening for harvest. It’s where your hard work meets divine timing.

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    Card 6. Poison – Self-Sabotaging Habits

    We all have our poison. This card points out what’s draining your magic—old fears, toxic patterns, or outdated stories.

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    • What do I cling to out of comfort, not growth?

    • How does this habit keep me small?

    🃏Example Cards:

    • Nine of Swords – Overthinking keeps you stuck. Rest is not a reward; it’s a necessity.

    • Knight of Swords – Slow down before you charge ahead. Impulsivity burns bridges.

    • Death – Transformation can feel scary, but resistance hurts more than change ever will.

    Card 7. Potion – Greatest Strengths and Magic in Motion

    This is your secret sauce. The gift you bring to the table. It’s what carries you through the dark and into the dawn.

    ✍️Journal Prompts:

    • What am I naturally good at that I tend to overlook?

    • How can I use my strength to help others or create impact?

    🃏Example Cards:

    • Nine of Pentacles – Independence, confidence, and a well-earned sense of accomplishment. Own your glow.

    • King of Wands – Leadership done with passion, not pressure. People follow your fire.

    • The Magician – You already have everything you need. Tools, talent, timing—it’s all in your hands.

    🌕 Closing and Reflection

    Your reading is done. Take a deep breath and thank your guides and ancestors. Let gratitude fill the room.

    You might leave a small offering—a flower, a candle, or a sip of wine. It’s a simple way to say, “I hear you. I honor you. I’m ready.”

    Now speak your closing words:

    “With gratitude, I release what’s done.

    I welcome new light, a new run.

    Guided by wisdom, courage, and grace,

    I honor the past as I step into my place.”

    Samhain reminds us that every ending is a seed for something new. What you release today becomes the foundation for tomorrow’s magic. Let this spread guide your transformation as the wheel turns once more. 🌒

  • Roar & Restore: A Leo New Moon Spread

    Roar & Restore: A Leo New Moon Spread

    It’s time for Leo to roar as he makes his presence known in the July 24th New Moon.  Yes, the energy is fierce, but it’s also focused.   This isn’t a time to be rushing into things (especially with Mercury in Retrograde).  It’s all about choosing with intention, leading with heart, and lighting a fire under the dreams that matter most.   

    While Leo encourages bold moves and visibility, Mercury Retrograde is also in play—reminding us to pause, review, and refine before we leap. That’s why this spread helps you tap into your true desires, examine what might still need a little realignment, and step forward with soul-led confidence.

    Want the full scoop on this New Moon’s meaning, Mercury’s influence, and a simple ritual?

    📝Read the full blog post on MyDivineBusiness.com

    Now, let’s get to the cards.

    🔮 Roar & Restore: A Leo New Moon 3-Card Spread

    Card 1: What bold desire is ready to be chosen?

    This card reveals what your heart is truly calling in. Not just a nice idea—something you’re ready to say YES to.

    Sample interpretations:

    • The Star – Your deeper dream is ready for the spotlight. Own your vision and let it guide you.
    • Page of Pentacles – You’re craving fresh growth—maybe a new offering, skill, or project that’s still taking root.
    • Seven of Cups – You’re caught in too many possibilities. Time to choose one that aligns with your heart.

    Card 2: What part of me needs review or realignment before I act?

    This helps uncover what needs refinement or healing before you go full throttle.

    Sample interpretations:

    • Temperance – Rebalance is needed. Are you honoring your energy, or trying to do too much too fast?
    • Knight of Swords – You’re pushing ahead with urgency. Pause and assess whether this pace is sustainable.
    • Five of Wands – Inner conflict is clouding your clarity. Before you act, resolve what’s tugging at you in opposite directions.

    Card 3: How can I lead with confidence and heart?

    This card shows how to embody Leo’s leadership—aligned, magnetic, and fully YOU.

    Sample interpretations:

    • Queen of Wands – Show up, speak up, and stand tall. You’re ready to inspire others with your authenticity.
    • Two of Pentacles – You’re juggling a lot—and trying to keep it all balanced can dilute your leadership. Choose what matters most.
    • Eight of Swords – You’re dimming yourself out of fear or habit. Confidence comes when you give yourself permission to be seen.

    ✨ Closing Affirmation:

    I choose boldly, lead with heart, and trust that my light creates space for others to rise.

    May this spread help you reconnect with your purpose, your passion, and your powerful inner roar.

  • 🌗 Mercury Retrograde Reset Ritual

    🌗 Mercury Retrograde Reset Ritual

    Theme: Release confusion, restore flow, and reclaim your power during Mercury’s cosmic mischief

    If Mercury Retrograde has your brain scrambled, your calendar off-kilter, and your tech acting like it’s possessed—you’re not alone. Over on MyDivineBusiness.com, I break down what this planetary backspin really means (spoiler: it’s not just about zapped laptops) and how to survive it without losing your mind or momentum. Check it out here!

    But here on MagikAtWork, we’re taking it one step further—with a powerful ritual to reset the vibe, clear the confusion, and take back your flow. Ready to move from frazzled to focused? Cleanse your space and light that candle!


    🌿 Ingredients:

    • 1 white candle (clarity, divine guidance)
    • Essential oil blend: lavender (calm), frankincense (spirit), peppermint (focus)
    • Herbs: rosemary (mental clarity), basil (protection), thyme (truth and time)
    • Crystals: clear quartz (amplifier), black tourmaline (grounding), fluorite (mental focus)
    • Paper & pen (for written releases and affirmations)
    • Fire-safe dish or cauldron

    🕊️ Divine Allies to Call In:

    • Hermes – god of communication, travel, and intellect. He helps untangle confusion, speed up solutions, and smooth over miscommunications.
    • Archangel Raphael – healer of the mind and body, guardian of travel and divine messages. His emerald light brings soothing clarity and repairs what’s been scattered.

    📜 Invocation:

    Face east (Air direction) and light a candle. Say aloud:

    Hermes, swift-footed guide of speech,
    I call upon your wisdom to reach.
    Through tangled wires and twisted plans,
    Bring your insight to these hands.

    Raphael, angel of healing bright,
    Wrap us in your emerald light.
    Heal the mind, restore the thread,
    Guide the words we wish to spread.

    Hold the candle and envision a circle of radiant light around you—gold from Hermes, green from Raphael.

    🔥 Main Ritual Steps:

    1. Dress the Candle
    Anoint your candle with the oil blend from wick to base (to draw in clarity). Roll it lightly in the herbs if desired. As you do, say:

    By herb and oil, flame and light,
    Confusion flees, all wrongs set right.

    2. Speak Your Retrograde Frustrations
    Write down what Mercury Retrograde has tangled: delays, miscommunications, tech issues, relationship stress, business messes. Fold the paper and place it under the candle. Say:

    I name these knots and give them voice,
    But I now release them. That’s my choice.
    What was blocked now finds new ways,
    Unraveling gently in coming days.

    3. Chant and Burn
    With deep intention, chant three times:

    Mercury spins, but I stand clear,
    Protected, calm, with purpose near.
    No tech, no trip, no words mislaid—
    My path is true, I’m not dismayed.

    Carefully burn the paper in your fire-safe dish and let the candle continue burning safely (or snuff if needed, relight to finish later).

    🌙 Closing Gratitude and Seal:

    Thank Hermes and Raphael with this chant:

    To Hermes, thank you for guiding the flow,
    To Raphael, healer, your light I now know._
    As the Moon wanes, let clutter recede—
    Only truth, only clarity is what I now seed._

    Blow the candle out with a whisper of thanks or leave it to burn down completely if safe.

    📝 Optional Add-Ons:

    • Sprinkle leftover herbs around your workspace or add to a sachet for continued protection.
    • Use fluorite under your pillow to sleep off the residual retrograde static.
    • Drink peppermint or rosemary tea after to ground and refresh.

    Closing Thoughts

    Mercury may be in retrograde, but that doesn’t mean you have to be. This ritual is your sacred pause—a moment to regroup, recharge, and reclaim your inner calm while the cosmos swirls around you. Whether you’re dodging tech troubles or tiptoeing around tangled conversations, you’ve now got a spiritual toolkit to help navigate the chaos with grace and a little magik.

  • Soul & Strategy Check-In: A Capricorn Full Moon Spread for Entrepreneurs and Professionals

    Soul & Strategy Check-In: A Capricorn Full Moon Spread for Entrepreneurs and Professionals

    Full Moon in Capricorn – July 10, 2025 at 1:37 PM PT

    This isn’t your soft-and-squishy moon moment. Capricorn comes in like a boss, backed by Saturn and armed with a clipboard. This Full Moon (also known as the Buck Moon) invites you to take a hard, loving look at your progress, your foundations, and your long-game strategy.

    Named for the time male deer begin regrowing their antlers, the Buck Moon is all about renewed strength, responsibility, and structure. It’s a checkpoint for your legacy. Think of it as a lunar performance review, but with cosmic insight and divine support instead of passive-aggressive emails.

    Whether you’re running a soul-led biz, climbing the career ladder, or mapping out a pivot, this spread will help you balance grounded strategy with spiritual flow.

    The Soul & Strategy Check-In Spread

    Card 1: The Foundation

    What part of my business or career needs a reality check?

    This card helps identify where the cracks are. Are you holding on to outdated beliefs? Are you pretending somthing is “fine” when it’s clearly not. Do you need to sharpen your technology skills?

    Sample Cards

    • The Tower – Yep, time to let the old crumble. Something big needs to shift.
    • Page of Swords – You’re collecting info, but avoiding decision-making. Time to act, not just analyze.

    Journal Prompts

    • Where am I holding on too tightly out of fear or habit?
    • What feels unstable, unsustainable, or out of sync in my business right now?
    • What have I been avoiding that needs my honest attention?

    Card 2: The Climb

    Where am I being called to stretch or grow?

    This position represents a potential growth opportunity for you. Where are you ready to level up—even if it feels scary or unknown?

    Sample Cards

    • Knight of Wands – Go for it. The energy is here—you just need to stop second-guessing.
    • Eight of Cups – Growth might mean walking away from what’s “good enough” to find something greater.
    • The Empress – It’s time to nurture something new. You’re being called to create, not just manage.

    Journal Prompts

    • What bold move have I been thinking about but not acting on?
    • What part of me knows it’s time to grow—even if it feels risky?
    • If I fully trusted my gifts, what would I create next?

    Card 3: The Legacy Move

    What long-term strategy or commitment wants my attention now?

    This card is your cue to focus on what builds over time. Think investments, offers, systems, or habits that will support your future success.

    Sample Cards

    • King of Pentacles – Think long-term wealth and leadership. Act like the CEO your future self needs.
    • Temperance – Build slow, steady, and balanced. Avoid the urge to rush results.
    • Three of Wands – Your vision is ready to expand. Set the bigger plan in motion.

    Journal Prompts

    • What legacy am I really building—and does it reflect who I am today?
    • Where do I need more patience and consistency in my business?

    Card 4: The Soul Anchor

    How can I stay aligned while taking bold action?

    This card reminds you how to stay true to your purpose, even while being productive and strategic. It’s your spiritual tether.

    Sample Cards

    • Queen of Cups – Trust your emotional compass. Lead with compassion—for yourself, too.
    • The Moon – Stay grounded in your intuition, even when clarity is elusive. More will be revealed.
    • Nine of Pentacles – Celebrate your self-worth and independence. You’ve earned this space to grow.

    Journal Prompts

    • What keeps me connected to the “why” behind my work?
    • How can I honor my energy and intuition while still showing up consistently?

  • Tarot on the Go: Travel Insight for Your Vacation Adventure ✈️🧳

    Tarot on the Go: Travel Insight for Your Vacation Adventure ✈️🧳

    Whether you’re jetting off to Bali, road-tripping to a hidden hot spring, or sneaking away for a staycation with zero responsibilities (bliss!), your travel plans deserve a little energetic backup. Tarot isn’t just for career moves and love life drama—it’s your cosmic compass wherever you go.

    This is where this 5-card Jet-Set Journey Spread comes in. It helps you set expectations, embrace the magic, dodge the turbulence, and get the most out of your time away. Think of it as your spiritual packing list—minus the overthinking and outfit panic.

    Here’s how to use it before your next trip:

    🌍 Jet-Set Journey Spread: Align Your Trip with Soul and Sanity

    Card 1: Trip Vibe Check

    What’s the overall energy of this trip?

    Is this going to be a soul-soothing retreat, a whirlwind of chaos (in the best way), or a mix of highs and hermit time? This card gives you the energetic headline of your adventure.

    Sample Interpretations:

    The Sun: Get ready for golden vibes, smooth travel, and joyful memories. This trip has “vacation highlight reel” written all over it. Think laughs, sunshine, and maybe one unforgettable photo that actually turns out good.

    Five of Cups: This trip might stir up some emotional residue. If you’re traveling to clear your head, the feels might hit first. But don’t cancel—sometimes we need a change of scenery to see what’s really worth healing.

    Card 2: Passport to Possibility

    What opportunities or gifts can I say yes to?

    This is where the fun begins. Maybe you meet someone incredible, have a spiritual breakthrough mid-hike, or find the confidence to try something wild. Whatever it is—this card shows what wants to open up.

    Sample Interpretations:

    Ace of Pentacles:Say yes to a new beginning—this could be the perfect place for fresh ideas, surprise job inspo, or a literal opportunity that lands in your lap. Keep your eyes open and your business card handy.

    Seven of Cups: So many options, so little clarity. You might be tempted to chase shiny distractions (hello, overpriced excursions), but not all that glitters is gold. Anchor your decisions in what feels right—not just exciting.

    Card 3: Turbulence Alert

    What challenge or disruption might pop up?

    No need to panic. This is just your heads-up card. Whether it’s a travel delay, a squabble, or emotional overwhelm, this card helps you prep like the calm, collected traveler you are (or aspire to be).

    Sample Interpretations:

    Knight of Swords: You’re looking at fast-paced energy that could make the trip feel a little rushed. Watch for overbooking your schedule or talking over people when you’re excited. Slow your roll and breathe.

    The Tower: An unexpected disruption or shakeups could hit mid-trip: a canceled flight, a sudden revelation, or an epic meltdown at the rental car counter. The Tower clears what’s unstable—so roll with it, then rebuild better. You don’t (and probably won’t)need to understand the “why”, just know that for reasons unknown it serves a purpose.

    Card 4: Carry-On Wisdom

    What should I bring with me—physically, mentally, or spiritually?

    This one’s got layers. It might be literal—like pack that lavender oil. Or emotional—bring patience, humor, or your go-to grounding ritual. Whatever it is, it’s essential.

    Sample Interpretations:

    Temperance: Pack your patience and your calm. You’ve got the inner tools to balance whatever comes up—just remember to use them. This trip is about staying centered, not sprinting to every sight on the map. This card is also a cosmic reminder to “look both ways before crossing the street”. In other words, exercise common sense and caution!

    Four of Pentacles: Loosen your grip. Whether it’s money, control, or your perfectly planned itinerary—you might need to release your need to “lock it all down.” Flexibility will be your best travel buddy.

    Card 5: Final Destination

    What is the likely outcome or personal takeaway from this trip?

    You’ll come home changed. This card hints at how. Maybe you return inspired, renewed, or ready to pivot something big. Let this card anchor the bigger why behind your getaway.

    Sample Interpretations:

    The World: You’ll return with a sense of completion, perspective, and maybe even a deeper purpose. This trip could be the last puzzle piece you didn’t know you were missing. Total win.

    Eight of Swords: You might come back feeling like you didn’t fully escape whatever’s been holding you back. That’s okay—it just means the real freedom is still an inside job. But now you’ve seen the patterns—and that’s powerful.

    Pro tip:

    Want to take your tarot reading from carry-on to first class? Toss in a few travel-friendly crystals. Use Moonstone as your go-to for smooth sailing. Citrine keeps the joy flowing (even in airport security), and Black Tourmaline? She’s your energetic bouncer. Pack light, but make it magical.

    Closing thought:

    This isn’t just a break from your inbox—it’s a chance to reconnect with yourself, your joy, and maybe a little magic along the way. . So match your itinerary with some inner clarity. When your Wi-Fi’s sketchy and your soul’s like, “Hey, are we there yet?”—this spread’s got your back.

    Bon voyage, dude. ✨

  • Light It Up: A Summer Solstice Card Spread to Spark Your Soul and Business

    Light It Up: A Summer Solstice Card Spread to Spark Your Soul and Business

    The Summer Solstice arrives on June 21st—and whether you’re sunbathing or strategically positioning a houseplant to catch the best light for your next Zoom call, there’s no denying the vibe shift in the air.

    This is Litha, the spiritual celebration that honors the longest day of the year. It’s when the Sun reaches its peak power and practically yells, “Hey you! Time to shine!” For Lightworkers and soulpreneurs, this isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s an energetic spotlight on your growth, your glow, and what’s next.

    So, how do we tap into all that glorious solar energy without getting sunburned or overwhelmed?

    With a tarot spread, of course. One that’s just as bold, illuminating, and energizing as the season itself.

    Light It Up: A 5-Card Summer Solstice Spread

    This tarot or oracle (your choice) spread is designed to help you reflect on what’s flourishing, notice what’s draining you, and realign your energy with purpose and power. Bonus: it works for both life and business because, let’s be honest, those two are totally dancing under the same disco ball.

    🌞 Card 1: Solar Spotlight

    What is ready to shine in my business or spiritual path?

    This card reveals the part of you—or your business—that’s craving more visibility. It’s that part of your business or your skill set that you’ve been keeping a secret.  

    Maybe it’s that idea that you’ve been too scared to implement. Perhaps, you’ve been ignoring an intuitive download — that just won’t go away. Or, it may even be a special talent or skill, you’ve been holding back out of fear.

    Examples:

    The Star? You’re not just healing—you’re inspiring. Your story, your resilience, your presence is a lighthouse for others. Time to claim your space as someone who leads by radiance.

    Queen of Swords? You’ve got wisdom with a side of edge, and people are craving your no-fluff perspective. Stop waiting to be softer. Your truth is the mic-drop magic your audience needs.

    🕳️Card 2: Energy Drain

    What’s quietly dimming my light or holding me back?

    This one’s a truth bomb. It identifies what’s stealing your energy behind the scenes—whether it’s burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the “just one more tweak” cycle that keeps your website in eternal draft mode.

    Examples:

    Ten of Wands? You’re doing too much. Delegate. Drop the dead weight. Take a nap.

    Five of Cups? You’re stuck in a cycle of regret or disappointment. It’s time to pivot your focus to what’s still blooming.

    🔥Card 3: Inner Fire

    What passion or purpose needs reigniting?

    This card digs into your heart space. It reminds you of the creative fuel that got you started—and may have flickered a bit under all the to-dos and client calls. What excites you? What would you do just for the joy of it?

    Examples:

    Page of Wands? You need play. Experiment. Try something weird. Your next big win may come from something fun.

    Ace of Cups? You’ve been pouring from an empty cup. Reignite through rest, self-care, and deep reconnection.

    🔁 Card 4: Sacred Shift

    What mindset or action will realign me with my light?

    Here’s your permission slip and game plan all in one. This card reveals what needs to shift so you can move forward with more ease and alignment. Think of it as your spiritual GPS recalculating your route—in sparkles.

    Examples:

    Temperance? Find your flow. Stop trying to force. Blend passion with patience.

    Knight of Swords? Go for it. Stop overthinking. Action is your ally right now.

    🌻 Card 5: Sun-Kissed Outcome

    What potential blooms if I follow this guidance?

    This last card shows the reward of letting yourself shine. It’s a glimpse of what’s possible when you trust your light, stay aligned, and take inspired action.

    Examples:

    Nine of Pentacles? Hello confidence, prosperity, and working from your garden in a silk robe.

    The World? You’re stepping into a new chapter—and you’ve got the experience and clarity to own it.

    ⚠️What If the Outcome Card Feels… Less Than Sunny?

    First, breathe. The cards are not out to roast you—they are here to reveal probabilities, and that includes the uncomfortable stuff that’s still part of your journey.

    Four of Cups? You’re being offered something meaningful, but you might miss it if you’re checked out or waiting for the “perfect” opportunity. Reconnect with what actually excites your soul.

    Five of Wands? There’s some friction ahead—internal or external—but it’s not a dealbreaker. Competition can refine your clarity. Use this moment to rise, not retreat.

    The Tower? Yep, that one stings a little. But if something’s crumbling, it’s because the foundation can’t support your next level. Let it fall. What you rebuild will be stronger, clearer, and fully aligned.

    The Devil? Watch for old habits, temptations, or attachments pulling you off course—whether it’s perfectionism, people-pleasing, or working late for all the wrong reasons. You hold the key. Step out of the loop.

    Three of Swords? Oof, there’s some heartache to acknowledge—maybe from a past launch, a lost opportunity, or self-doubt wounds that are still healing. Be tender with yourself. This card is grief, yes—but also release.

    And here’s the key: none of this is set in stone. A challenging card isn’t your destiny—it’s a heads-up. A weather report. A loving nudge from the Universe saying, “You’ve got this—but here’s what to keep an eye on.”

    Everything is still in your hands. Your energy, your choices, and your ability to shift the outcome are all part of the magic. The cards light the path—but you’re the one who walks it.

    Final Thoughts (With a Sunbeam Wink)

    Litha isn’t just a day to light a candle and call it good. It’s a full-on invitation to embrace your brilliance, drop the stuff that dims you, and lead your life (and business) with more fire and flow.

    So grab your cards, soak in some sunshine—even if it’s through a window—and let the Solstice show you what’s ready to rise.

    And remember: you are the light. Let that business glow be unapologetically solar-powered.

  • 🍓 Sagittarius Heat, Strawberry Sweet: A Full Moon Spread for Bold Alignment

    🍓 Sagittarius Heat, Strawberry Sweet: A Full Moon Spread for Bold Alignment

    Welcome to your lunar dose of sweet truth and Sagittarius fire! This Full Moon in Sagittarius—aka the Strawberry Moon—isn’t just pretty to look at. It’s here to shake things up in the best way possible.

    This moon is all about harvesting the sweet stuff you’ve been growing, getting real about what’s working (and what’s not), and boldly stretching toward something bigger. Think: expansion, truth, aligned action. It’s time to stop playing small and aim that arrow high.

    This 3-card spread is designed to help you align your inner wisdom with your next big move—whether you’re launching a new offer, shifting your biz vibe, or simply trying to feel more lit up in your work.

    Grab your tarot or oracle deck, light a candle, and pull three cards with this intention:

    “Show me where I’m ready to grow, what truth I need to see, and how I can move forward with clarity and courage.”

    🎴 The Spread:

    Card 1: Where am I being called to grow?

    This card reveals the area of your life or business that’s ready for expansion. It might point to something you’ve been avoiding, something you’re already excited about, or a stretch that scares you (in a good way).

    Example: You pull the Knight of Wands – Your bold idea isn’t too much. It’s exactly what your community needs. That podcast, retreat, or group program? Time to saddle up and ride.

    Card 2: What truth do I need to acknowledge right now?

    This is your Sagittarius-style truth bomb. No sugarcoating. What needs to be seen clearly? This card shows what you’ve been pretending not to know—either about yourself, your business, or the way you’ve been operating.

    Example: You pull The Moon – You’ve been running on uncertainty and guessing. Time to clear the fog and trust your intuition over all the outside noise.

    Card 3: How can I take aligned action in my business?

    This card gives you your next step. Not the whole blueprint—just the next best move that brings your actions in sync with your values, vision, and truth.

    Example: You pull The Hierophant – Don’t go it alone. Seek a mentor, structure your offers, or build in more spiritual ritual into your daily workflow.

    ✍️ Journal Prompts

    (If your cards stir something up, these help get it out and onto the page!)

    How would my business change if I trusted my truth completely?

    • Where have I been playing small out of fear or habit?
    • What feels exciting but slightly terrifying—and why might that be a sign I’m on the right path?

    🍓 Final Thoughts

    The Strawberry Moon reminds us that we’re allowed to enjoy the sweetness and stand strong in our truth. Growth doesn’t have to be all grit and hustle. It can be soul-deep, joy-fueled, and divinely guided. This spread is here to help you tune into that balance—so you can grow from a place that feels aligned, not forced.

    Let the moonlight shine on your brilliance, the cards speak your truth, and your next step unfold with clarity.

  • Under the Scorpio Full Moon: The Real Deal Reveal (3 Card Spread)

    Under the Scorpio Full Moon: The Real Deal Reveal (3 Card Spread)

    Don’t let the size fool you—this Scorpio Micro-Moon may be small, but its energy packs a cosmic punch. It’s not here for sugarcoating or sidestepping. Nope. This moon wants truth, transformation, and maybe a little dramatic exit for whatever’s been weighing you down. This 3-card spread is your invitation to get real, let go of the old junk, and step back into your power like the boss you are. No fluff. No filters. Just the real deal—with a side of Scorpio sass.

    Card 1: What truth am I ready to face?

    This card reveals the more profound truth you may have been avoiding. What needs your attention—even if it makes you squirm a little?

    Examples:

    • The Lovers: You may need to make a clear choice in your work or relationships instead of trying to keep both doors open.
    • The Eight of Swords: You’ve been telling yourself you’re stuck, but the truth is—your mindset is the only cage.
    • The High Priestess: You already know the truth—you just haven’t admitted it to yourself yet.

    Card 2: What do I need to release to evolve?

    Think of this as your cosmic baggage check. What’s weighing you down? A habit, a person, a pattern? Doesn’t matter. If it’s not helping, it’s leaving. No guilt. No drama. Just a clean break.

    This isn’t about judgment—it’s about freedom.

    Examples:

    • Ten of Wands: You’re doing way too much. Drop it. Delegate it. Burn the to-do list if you have to.
    • Five of Pentacles: That “I’ll never have enough” loop? Tired. It’s time to upgrade your mindset.
    • The Devil: If you’ve been clinging to something out of fear—yep, it’s time to cut the cord.

    Card 3: What power am I reclaiming?

    Here’s where you rise. This card shows the part of you that’s ready to shine once the old energy is cleared.

    Examples:

    • Queen of Wands: You’re reclaiming confidence and magnetism. People are drawn to your fire—own it.
    • The Chariot: It’s time to take control and move forward like a boss. No more hesitation.
    • Ace of Swords: Clarity, baby. Your voice is your power, and it’s time to speak the truth.

     Scorpio Moon Affirmation

    “I face what’s real, I release what’s done, and I rise rooted in truth and power.”
