Good tarot, bad tarot? 🤔


I get SO excited when I see an expansive reading - tarot cards overspilling with messages of endless possibilities.

But believe it, or not, I also get excited when a client's tarot reading isn't full of hope and manifestation on the cusp of creation.

You see, Reader, I don't believe there are "good" tarot or "bad" tarot cards.

Why? Because Source can only do so much reassuring and validation; it's up to us to take action. It's up to us to choose how (or if) we show up.

We all have scars, some more visible than others. Some of us know exactly what scars have healed. Some of us don't even realize the hurt we carry in our bodies.

While we can't choose our circumstances, we can all choose to move forward, peel back the layers and let in some healing.

Everyone has a specific way of healing. No one path is the same. And healing isn't about fixing what's broken; it's about remembering and reconnecting with the sacred innate strength and vitality you already possess.

That's why I'm excited about teaching at this month's Raava retreat. You'll dive deep into your soul, layer by layer, assessing the cloudy parts and realigning so you can remember who you are at your core.

Most importantly, you'll feel like yourself again– and you can experience a powerful shift in just half a day, right here in Houston!

Ready to feel like you again? Join us at the Raava Retreat!

  • Let your breath lead: Experience a profound connection to your inner knowing through Breathwork (led by me😉).
  • Connect and release: Build community through the sacred shared of a powerful Fire Ceremony to lovingly let go of what no longer serves you.
  • Find your intentional flow: Allow the gentle, yet powerful movements of Qigong open your energetic pathways to create space within.
  • Nourish your soul through alchemizing power of sound: Journey within and align with the harmonic frequencies during a deeply relaxing Sound Bath.
  • Emerge renewed: You'll leave feeling freedom, clarity, and a renewed sense of self, carrying a quiet confidence in your reclaimed power and a commitment to giving back to yourself with the same fierce love you give to others.

Can't make the retreat? I've got you covered here!

Your weekly guidance
reading & journal prompts

For this week's guidance reading, I'm using Kyle Gray's Angels and Ancestors Oracle Deck with a direct translation from the guidebook. If you have a question, feel free to pause and focus on it. Then, look at the stack of cards below and choose one you feel has your reading. Or you can also combine the messages of all three cards and let that be your guidance.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest behind. I'd love to hear which reading made sense with your current energy, Reader. So be sure to reply and let me know.


Botswana Agate Guidance

EAGLE- See from a Higher Perspective

Message

Look at things from a different angle. Fly higher and see new possibilities.

About

In animal medicine, both Native American and Celtic, the eagle draws his power and strength from the sun. He is a powerful, strong and courageous guide who is able to see for miles. He approaches all things with intelligence, grace and poise, and has the capacity to make a plan from a higher space before putting it into action. When the Eagle card appears in a reading, it shows that you have a real ability to take things higher and to move beyond the limitations of your ego and your selfish desires.

Extended Message

Eagle medicine swirls around you, encouraging you to recognize that your views or vision may be limited at this time. Is there a chance that your own desperation, needs or ego could be blocking you from seeing the potential in your current situation? If there are other people involved, you are being guided to see things from everyone’s perspective. If you are feeling the need for something to change, how can you take the higher road? Know that if you have intentions that aren’t for the highest good, it will only hold you back. Eagle medicine can help you change this. The Eagle brings the energy of healing and love directly from the heart of Father Sky and invites you to do all things from a place of love.

✍Your journal prompts from this reading:

  • "Fly Higher": What current situation in my life feels limiting? If I could rise above it like an eagle, what new possibilities or perspectives might become visible? Describe what that "higher view" looks like.
  • Taking the Higher Road: When you feel the need for change, what does "taking the higher road" mean to you in that specific context? What actions would align with this higher path, and what might be holding you back from taking it?
  • Seeing with the Eye of the Soul: The eagle sees for miles, beyond immediate limitations. Imagine you are viewing your life and your current circumstances not just with your physical eyes, but with the "eye" of your soul – your sacred, higher self. What truths become apparent? What deeper meaning or purpose do you perceive from this elevated, divine perspective?

Yellow Calcite Guidance

WISE ONE - Grow Within Your Current Situation

Message

Knuckle down. Be reliable and committed. Be open to wisdom and insights from your elders.

About

The Wise One represents the wisest aspect of the Goddess — the Crone. In paganism and modern Wicca, the Crone is the fiercest, most psychic and most aware aspect of the Goddess, because she has been through many of life’s challenges and overcome many setbacks. On this card, the raven in her hands represents the capacity to overcome the darker times and be reborn again and again. So she helps you to tap into wisdom to overcome whatever life throws at you - wisdom being the information stored in your soul, rather than the knowledge acquired in this lifetime - and to learn from the experience of your elders.

Extended Message

The wisdom of the Wise One is based on something that the younger generation is often lacking: commitment and reliability. When this card appears, you are being guided to continue working on your growth and expansion within your current situation. Be committed to your tasks and projects. It can be very easy to get bored or overwhelmed, but persevere. You are being reminded of how it feels to be let down and experience unreliability - and that is not who you were born to be. So keep working on what you’re working on, because it’s going to be extremely beneficial for you in the long run.

✍Your journal prompts from this reading:

  • "Knuckle Down" in My Life: Where in my life am I being called to "knuckle down" and apply consistent effort? What might be the underlying resistance to this, and what small, reliable steps can I commit to taking today?
  • Tapping into Soul Wisdom: The message speaks of wisdom stored in the soul. What intuitive nudges or deep-seated knowings have I experienced recently? How can I create more space to listen to and trust this inner wisdom?
  • My Innate Nature: "That is not who you were born to be" – the message reminds us against unreliability. What do I believe is my true, innate nature? How does embodying reliability and commitment align with this deeper self?

Red Tiger Eye Guidance

SUN - Enjoy Success and Happiness

Message

Know that doors are opening for you. Follow up new projects, ventures and ideas. Connect with the inner fire that is driving you forward.

About

The sun has long been associated with the energy of success — it’s the most powerful planet in the solar system (‘solar’ referring to the sun), so of course when the Sun card appears in a reading it will bring power, success and light. It brightens up all connections, banishes darkness, brings a sense of youthfulness and invites you to connect to the energy of joy so that you can be light in spirit and heart.

Extended Message

You are being surrounded by the brightness of the Sun at this time. Opportunities to feel and be successful are swirling and dancing around you. Relationships and friendships progress with joy and you will feel happy and uplifted. If you’re not somewhere bright and sunny right now, there will be other ways in which you can enjoy warmth and joy. Solar energy brings health and vitality and can energize and warm, and it also encourages everything to grow. The energy of expansion is with you at this time and you are being offered the perfect opportunity to move forward. If you want to bring something to life or are ready to take a new step in a relationship, the Sun will bring the right energy to you. If you are asking a question, the answer is most definitely yes!

✍Your journal prompts from this reading:

  • Banish the Darkness: What "darkness" – fears, doubts, limiting beliefs – might be present in my life right now? How can I invite the "brightness of the Sun" – positivity, joy, self-belief – to illuminate and dispel these shadows?
  • My Inner Fire: What truly drives me forward in life? What are my core passions and motivations? How can I connect more deeply with this "inner fire" and allow it to fuel my actions and decisions?
  • The Inner Sun: Just as the Sun is a source of immense power and light, what is the radiant, powerful core within my own being – my sacred divinity? How can I connect with this inner "Sun" and allow its light to guide me towards success, joy, and the confident "yes" to the opportunities before me?

As always only take what feels right in your heart and soul and leave the rest behind. Remember, these are general readings.

Sending lots of love your way,

Soul Shift Members already heard this story inside the New Moon in Cancer ritual — about the tarot spread I pulled and the messages that came through. What I didn’t share, Reader, was how deeply that first card hit me. The spread that surprised me — the gift, the illumination, and the lesson. I used Chris-Anne’s Soul Joy Spread from her Light Seer’s Tarot: What can I give to the world? → 5 of Pentacles What can I illuminate for others? → 9 of Cups Where can my lessons of joy be uncovered? → 8...

You know those days when everything feels a little… off, Reader?That was me last week.My schedule had me bouncing all over town for in-home breathwork.I made a stop at a new coffee shop that didn’t quite live up to the cozy-writing-nook I’d hoped for. Then the thunderstorms rolled in. Clients canceled.Everything felt like it was unraveling. At first glance? It looked like a mess.But beneath the surface chaos… something else was happening. Something aligned.A quiet, sacred rearranging. A...

a reminder you’re not behind — you’re building

This card fell out as I was prepping for the Full Moon in Sagittarius Group Breathwork Class earlier today Reader, and the message hit me straight in the heart. “You are already doing it. Stop overthinking. You’re on the right path. Keep facing your true north.” If you’ve been feeling like you should be further along, or comparing your growth to someone else’s… let this be your reminder: ✨ You're not stuck.✨ You're not behind.✨ You’re building something real. And it takes time. As you might...
