The Strength Card and “No” (Lenormand)…

Spring is all around us, and this weekend we're soaking up the radiant warmth of our own inner glow. Our gentle, open-hearted energy will naturally attract admiration, as we settle into a rhythm that uplifts and inspires. Let your heart bloom like the flowers in full display, and embrace the magic of your unique presence.

At the same time, your inner guidance will be clear and strong—listen to it. This weekend may call for setting healthy boundaries with a simple, confident “No.”
“No, that’s not for me.”
“No, I’m unavailable.”
“No, I have other plans.”

Protect your time and energy from anything that doesn’t align with your joy or intentions. You’ve earned this moment to fully enjoy your own light—on your own terms.

“Our boundaries define our personal space – and we need to be sovereign there in order to be able to step into our full power and potential.” – Jessica Moore

King of Wands (Reversed)…

After last night’s reversed Queen of Wands, I am disheartened to see that we now have a menacing reversed King of Wands appearing in our world. Someone is trying to take control again—but this time, it’s not subtle. It’s bold and right in our faces. In some ways, that makes it easier to deal with—we can see it clearly, name it, and prepare for it. But don’t underestimate them. This person carries a fierce, intense energy that can still throw us off course, even when we know what they’re doing. So stand your ground. Don’t shrink in the face of power fueled by your own inner doubts. Rise above it—or, if needed, step away and let it burn itself out.

“Don't let someone who doesn't know your value tell you how much you're worth.” — Unknown

Queen of Wands (Reversed)…

You might not realize it, but someone close to you is burning with jealousy—and you're the one fueling their fire. What makes this situation especially tricky is that this person holds influence in your circle and knows how to play the game well. They're subtle, calculating, and not to be underestimated. Be cautious around them. Keep your plans, thoughts, and personal details to yourself—anything you share could be twisted and used against you. They want what you have, and they’re not above manipulation to get it, even if it means targeting the people you care about. Stay alert and be ready to defend what's yours. Don’t let them snatch your crown.

“Dealing with manipulation is all about reading between the lines and recognizing the lies for what they are.” — Unknown

The World & The Nine of Swords…

I know things feel heavy and uncertain right now, but please don’t shut yourself off from the world, my friend. There is so much beauty and potential waiting for you. You can feel it deep down—it's there—but you're not fully letting yourself reach for it. You believe you're seeing your situation clearly, but you're not seeing it through the full lens of your spirit. Your thoughts are clouding your vision, pulling you away from the true path that's calling you forward. Remember: your thoughts are not facts. Open your heart, open your eyes—and let that light guide you out of the darkness. The world has extraordinary gifts waiting for you, more than you can even imagine.

“Life itself is a privilege, but to live life to the fullest-well, that is a choice.” – Andy Andrews

Eight of Pentacles - Reversed…

There are times when you pour everything you have into your work—your heart, your energy, your focus—and still, a small oversight can throw everything off course. It’s frustrating, even disheartening. But that effort wasn’t wasted. The progress you’ve made still matters. Now, the task shifts: it’s time to face the challenge of fixing that minor mistake. It might feel daunting, and it’s never easy to be caught off guard by something you missed. But you can fix it. Take a deep breath, gear up for the work ahead, and trust yourself. You've got this.

“Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.” - Nikki Giovanni

The Page of Cups…

Your tender heart is quietly asking for your attention—it needs care, compassion, and a little space to breathe. All day, you’ve carried a subtle ache—hopeful, yet uncertain. It’s time to offer yourself the kind of grace that rekindles belief—belief in love, in people, and in your own resilience. This isn’t about surface-level self-care or fleeting comforts. What you truly need is deep understanding—a moment of clarity about what your well-being actually looks like, and a gentle promise to honor and protect it. Tonight, let yourself dream freely, like a child untouched by worry. And when morning comes, take your first step on a new path—one that leads toward real healing.

Reversed Magician (Tarot) and Fish (Lenormand)…

This weekend, there's a sense of disconnection from our personal power—but that doesn’t mean it’s gone. It almost feels like someone else’s version of magic has taken over the vibe. Maybe we’re going along with it to keep the peace, or maybe we’re simply choosing to hold onto our own magic until the right moment arrives. Either way, even in this odd sense of distance, there’s abundance waiting to be discovered. Honestly, we’re in need of a buried treasure to rise to the surface. So let’s dive into the depths—into the unseen, the forgotten—and uncover the riches that have been hidden from view. Maybe, just maybe, we don’t have to push as hard as we have been to receive what we’ve already earned. Raise a glass to that possibility.

“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” - Joseph Campbell

Two of Pentacles…

The waves just keep rolling in, don’t they? Staying afloat through life’s highs and lows isn’t easy for most—but you make it seem effortless. When things feel overwhelming, ground yourself by sharpening your focus and trusting in your ability to juggle it all. Not only will you manage it, but you’ll do so with grace and strength that others will admire. Let go of the little worries, don’t fear the big challenges—just stay present and centered, and you’ll discover your own sense of balance.

“The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you’ve lost it.”—Anonymous

Reversed 9 of Wands and Reversed Hanged Man…

Sometimes, we need to turn things “upside down” to truly understand what “right side up” means. Other times, life does that for us. If you feel like you've been growing in the wrong direction from difficult circumstances, you're not alone. It may seem drastic to uproot your dreams, but were they really serving you the way you hoped, or have you simply been worn out by constantly trying to protect yourself? The toughest part is nearly over. Soon, you'll be freeing yourself from the grip that has held back your growth. Don’t worry—you're ready, and the truth is, everything you’ve worked for has already been turned on its head. (Sorry for the tough-love tarot on a Tuesday, but you can totally handle it!)

“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. The sun might shine, or the clouds might lour: but nothing could appear to me as it had done the day before.” - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

King of Cups…

Emotional mastery is not about controlling or judging the ebb and flow of your feelings. It is about understanding the sacred roots from which they arise within your soul, and discovering the most enchanting ways to honor them when they appear. True emotional wisdom is far more than simply pushing feelings aside to survive. For sometimes, mere survival is not living. Your emotions are the vibrant brushstrokes that paint the masterpiece of who you are. Do not simply exist—claim the beauty of every hue that stirs you: joy, fear, sorrow, delight, passion, fire, fervor, love, despair, hope... Each of these are powerful forces that fuel your inner strength. Feeling is a dance woven with magic. Do not cast it away—surrender to it, and you will learn to move in harmony with its rhythm.

“Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.” - Paul Cezanne

Ace of Swords (Reversed)…

Let your mind wander freely today. There's no need for big ideas or deep thinking. Avoid tasks that demand too much mental effort. Why take on extra responsibilities when you don’t have to? Unwind by disconnecting and letting go of anything that's keeping your thoughts tangled. Set your mind free and enjoy a well-deserved day of effortless peace. Happy Saturday!

The Six of Pentacles (Reversed) and The Key…

This weekend, we're embracing a self-focused mindset. Some might call it selfish, but we see it as a necessary time to prioritize ourselves—to take more than we give and make sure our own needs and desires are met. Don’t judge yourself, and don’t let anyone else’s opinion alter your course. Let’s face it—you have every right to want more for yourself and to go after it. What we need is access—access to greater experiences and spaces we've previously been excluded from. It's time for the world to open doors that work in our favor. Maybe a little bit of selfishness is exactly what will propel us forward in ways we haven’t yet imagined. Perhaps it's time to be a little greedy…

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”―Nora Roberts

King of Wands…

There is a powerful individual in your life who desires to play a significant role in your success. However, because you hold them in such esteem, you may not be fully embracing the depth of insight they can offer. With a wealth of knowledge and years of experience, they have much to share – so take the time to listen carefully. Don’t just hear their words – absorb them. You need clear direction and a sharp strategy now more than ever. Within their wise stories, you'll discover the answers you're searching for.

Two of Wands…

Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes the allure of warmer days that spark dreams of adventure. How will you fill your sunny days with wonder? Now is the perfect time to start planning a journey that will inspire you. Grab your maps and guidebooks for some inspiration, or simply dive online to discover the destinations you can explore this year. It's time to escape - to reset your soul by embracing the unknown. Travel awakens the senses and helps you rediscover what you may have lost—yourself.

“To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – Danny Kaye

Four of Wands (Reversed) and Ace of Cups (Reversed)…

It looks like you're starting to realize how your black-and-white thinking has been limiting your growth and potential. Opening new doors should be a cause for celebration—an opportunity for change that brings with it the promise of harmony and personal growth. Letting your emotions flow can help clear your mind and lead to lasting clarity. While moments like this may feel intense, they also point to a greater freedom and possibility. Deep down, if you tap into your true emotions, you're ready for what's next. So, embrace the shift and allow yourself to feel your way toward an exciting new journey!

King of Pentacles (Reversed)…

If you truly want to grow and succeed, it’s time to cut ties with anyone who controls your earnings, allowing you to redirect that energy toward personal advancement. You crave independence, so why not break free from domineering personalities and trust in yourself? Imagine the freedom of being the king of your own domain—setting your own rules and never having to answer to anyone when you break them. Picture how the rewards from your efforts could multiply, even triple, when you're driven by the joy of building upon them. Real security is within your reach, but you must realign your priorities to focus on yourself. Tonight, envision the possibilities of freedom and growth when you’re in charge. Dream of your own glorious potential.

Seven of Wands & The Mountain…

This weekend, it feels like we have to fight to protect what’s ours, but the effort is filling us with a sense of pride. To stay on top, we’ll need to be clever and even a little devious in our approach. But how exciting it will be to make the rules under the bright sunshine! We must remember that the obstacles ahead may seem huge and impossible to overcome, but our youthful energy and adventurous spirit will push us forward, no matter the challenges. Realizing that our grit, determination, and fearless attitude have brought us this far will make the road ahead feel like just another small hurdle. So, let’s create the kind of magic that can move mountains!

Queen of Wands…

The vibrant colors of your essence light up the lives of many. You’re being called to lead because your passionate spirit fuels growth and inspiration. Creativity constantly follows you, urging you to dream bigger and break through the limits placed on potential—both yours and others! Don’t question why you’re being asked to step into a more influential role; simply look in the mirror and embrace the radiant magic of who you are. If those around you are lifting you up, it’s well-deserved, so allow yourself to experience the excitement that comes with this power. You will, as always, use it for good.

Nine of Pentacles…

Abundance weaves itself around you, waiting to be embraced, if only you open your heart to it. You need not be drenched in riches to bask in the splendor of your own being. A seat awaits you in a wondrous garden of comfort and beauty, ready to be claimed if you so choose. If your eyes fail to see it, then create a sacred space where indulgence and serenity can flow. Rest your weary feet and treasure what you already possess, but elevate it with the art of savoring each sensation. Invite a kindred spirit to join you, and together, sink into the radiant joy you so rightfully deserve. Remember, pleasure is not a rare treasure—it is a gift you can make your own, starting today.

“So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.” - Jorge Luis Borges

Death (Reversed) and The Queen of Swords…

Rather than fighting against the changes being thrust upon you, understand that there is someone ready to help you cut through your fears and embrace the unknown. This person can serve as a guide or mentor, offering valuable insights into what you're going through. If you approach them with the right mindset, they'll share their wisdom with you. But be prepared—this support will come with tough love and a hard-hitting reality check. It may feel as though they can see right through you, and perhaps they can. They hold a level of understanding that you need. What you need is a solid plan, and the sense of significance you crave—so let them in, even if it scares you. You won't regret it.

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.’
–Marie Curie
