Card of the Day

Holly Buczek Holly Buczek

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.

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” — Audre Lorde

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Ten of Cups - Reversed…

Endings can be emotionally tough, but life is often a series of phases, and as the saying goes, "good things can't last forever." As we move from fulfilling and meaningful conclusions into fresh and exciting beginnings, it's crucial to remember that all the love and positivity we've experienced aren't gone. Even though it may feel like it, we’re not leaving everything behind. In fact, we carry the beautiful memories with us—the joy of past successes, the strength of love shared, the comfort of support we've received—each one a testament to who we are and who we’re becoming. We reflect back to others the peace and harmony we've experienced. So, if you're mourning what you think you're leaving behind, perhaps it's time to celebrate the gifts you'll be taking with you instead.

“The best endings resonate because they echo a word, phrase, or image from earlier in the story, and the reader is prompted to think back to that reference and speculate on a deeper meaning.”–James Plath

Reversed Knight of Wands…

I’m sure you are feeling a bit hot right now - there is an undeniable fire burning deep within your heart. The purple passion is consuming you, but you must let it smolder under the surface. Your instinct will be to rush in with noble rebellion, because your gut is telling you to act. BUT now is not the time to take action upon these feverish feelings - you must wait a bit more. Honestly, any action you take at this point will be reaction and not fully formed. Sure, small steps toward your ultimate desire can work to your benefit, but resist the urge to save the day - you aren’t quite ready for that…YET. You will be soon, so let this feeling grow within - fan the flames and the heat will ignite something even more powerful on your behalf.
