Card of the week: Ace of Swords

Song of the week: Formation - Beyonce

This week is a time for rest and healing. This month, in honor of Women’s History Month, I’ll be using Our Tarot for all of my weekly readings. This deck, created by Sarah Shipman, connects each card to a historical woman. The Ace of Swords is Mae Jemison, an engineer, physician, businesswoman, and the first black woman to travel in space. Mae is a trailblazer in every sense and has lived a life of adventure and service, always moving forward.

The Ace of Swords, like Mae Jemison, is all about breakthroughs. The Ace of Swords challenges us to find clarity, be bold, and move ahead. This card paired with this week’s full moon and vernal equinox gives a clear message - start dreaming and planning now for the coming season! This week is a great time for strategy and to conceptualize new projects and goals. This is a new beginning. And with all that creative energy, the Ace of Swords asks us to not just dream, but to outline clear, concrete steps to bringing those dreams in to reality. What is sparking your passion? What new projects do you want to start? What does your roadmap look like?

And as you’re doing the work this week, remember Mae’s quote, “Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.

Tarot Card of The Week - 6 of Swords

Card of the week: 6 of Swords

Song of the week: Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

This week is a time for rest and healing. This month, in honor of Women’s History Month, I’ll be using Our Tarot for all of my weekly readings. This deck, created by Sarah Shipman, connects each card to a historical woman. The 6 of Swords is Lucy Hicks Anderson a chef, socialite, business owner, and black trans woman who was charged for perjury and imprisoned in the 1940s for fraud for claiming her husbands GI benefits as a trans woman. The court argued that her marriage wasn’t legal, and she fought the courts, but was forced to serve time with her husband in prison. After prison, she and her husband eventually settled in to a quiet life in Los Angeles

The 6 of Swords asks us to reflect on our battles and distance ourselves from past traumas if we can. It’s also a sign to be gentle with ourselves and give time for recovery and healing. What battles can you distance yourself from? What hurts can you let go? As we approach spring and think about planting our garden, it’s a great time to ask ourselves what we can part with. What pain is taking up space that could be given to new growth?

This week is a time of action and reflection. This month, in honor of Women’s History Month, I’ll be using Our Tarot for all of my weekly readings.

As the spring approaches, the 3 of Wands asks us to spend time to reflect - and give ourselves credit for - all that we’ve accomplished in preparation for the coming season change. How have you moved forward this winter? Where do you want to go from here? Spend some serious time reflecting on it this week and start to plan your next moves. What is your big mission? How do you want to move the world and make it better? Make sure that you are grounded in your vision this week. Henriette challenges to have vision - not only for our own individual wants and needs, but those of the community and society at large.

Tarot Card of The Week - Justice

Card of the week: Justice

Song of the week: Sleep to Dream - Fiona Apple

The Justice card is a great follow up to last week’s 7 of Swords: The 7 of Swords asked that you awaken yourself to reality and that you become aware of uncomfortable truths, and Justice asks that you act on that new awareness. It’s important this week that you make decisions that are aligned with your highest good and that you’re able to confront people and situations that don’t have your best interest. Where are you feeling uncomfortable? How can you speak up for yourself and others this week? Where things are wrong, make them right. Be an advocate and don’t be afraid of confrontation. Consider how you can invest this energy in the bigger picture as well this week. Are there community issues or movements around justice you could become involved with? See how you can balance the scales. Want more insight? Book an email or in person reading!
