When Spirit’s answer isn’t what you wanted
Published 3 months ago • 6 min read
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 of Pentacles
The Gift? 5 of Pentacles. That aching card of lack. Feeling left out in the cold. Looking for a door you’re not sure exists. It might not be what you want to see as Spirit's guidance, and yet… it comes as a gift.
The Illumination? 9 of Cups. That full-heart, quiet-satisfaction energy. The card of emotional contentment — not because everything is perfect, but because you’ve made peace with who you are and where you are.
The Lesson of Joy? 8 of Pentacles. Study. Self-devotion. Showing up with presence. Practicing what brings you home.
This reading reminded me that what feels like lack can be a portal to fulfillment. Because how often do we believe joy arrives only after we’ve “fixed” the mess?
Seeing that 5 of Pentacles in the gift position stirred something deep in me. Because I know that feeling too well. After the grief of losing my niece this year, there were days I felt closer than I'd like to admit to losing my faith in synchronicity, in something deeper.
But you know what, Reader? It all makes sense.
The grief. The loss. The anger. Even the numbness. All of it serves a purpose.
It's a reminder that emotional fullness isn’t some bypass of pain. It’s because of what we’ve survived that we can hold beauty more fully.
What if the gift isn’t the pain itself… but the capacity it gives us to hold others in theirs?
What if the wisdom from the cold is exactly what helps us offer warmth to those who need it most?
That void? That aching absence? It makes room. Not to erase the loss, but to soften it. To hold it.
That’s what breathwork has taught me again and again. Sometimes it cracks you wide open. Sometimes it clears what you didn’t even know you were carrying. And sometimes? It simply offers you a quiet place to land.
A place to return to what’s true. To sit in the void and still know you’re whole. To let your breath say what your mouth can’t. To come home to yourself — even if you're still figuring out what home means.
Whether you're deep in the void or just starting to resurface, there’s space for you here.
Not sure what to ask? “What do I most need to know right now?” is always a beautiful place to start.
If you’ve been holding it all together lately — or letting it all fall apart — I see you. The grief. The doubt. The quiet hope. Every emotion belongs.
And if you’re craving a safe space to let it move through you — to reconnect with your body, your truth, your breath — I’d be honored to hold that space with you.
Set your intentions and release stuck energy under the magic of the new moon. A powerful combination of breathwork, oracle guidance, sound healing, and journaling to release emotional weight & connect with your intuition.

For this week's guidance reading, I'm using Colette Baron-Reid's Enchanted Map Oracle Deck with a direct translation from her 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.

Compass- "As long as you orient your compass to True North- the direction of your higher power- you will never be lost."
You’re entering uncharted territories right now and can expect wonderful new experiences. To stay on the highest path of your destiny, you’ll need to keep your compass pointed to True North. Only Spirit, or a higher power, can serve this function. Money, property, prestige, romance, and other material achievements can’t help you find your true path. They are simply things you may experience along the journey.
Know that Spirit is working in your life, so even if you feel lost temporarily, it will be easy to find your way. Have faith and trust, for your compass, with Spirit as True North, will ensure that you’ll never be lost—even on a starless night when all seems dark.

Education - "Life is filled with lessons.Be teachable"
Wisdom comes from participating in life, not just reading about it. This card suggests that you might not have enough knowledge about what you seek, the direction to take, your circumstances, or the nature of your inquiry. Important information is coming. Now is the time to go to school, ask a person who might know more than you do, or find a teacher or a course of study so that you can more clearly understand what the next right action must be. Sometimes life unexpectedly sends you to an unfamiliar school, and you must learn by experience. Now is a time to be teachable, open to changing your preconceived notions. Be a student, and be will-ingstate the most powerful mantra of all: "I don't know-yet."

Wide Open - "You are free to express your uniqueness to the world and share in all the bounty of life's endless possibilities."
The Wide Open card is a signal that you're able to truly manifest your dreams and that your goals are in sight. Don't remain small and contracted. Instead, expand your horizons beyond what you believe to be your limitations. You have a unique voice that needs to be expressed in the world. The universe is supportive of new ideas and approaches at this time, so speak up and speak out.
This card is the sign of the maverick who freely roams the wide-open space of possibility. Allow for a greater vision to replace old ideas as you dream a grander dream.
As always only take what feels right in your heart and soul and leave the rest behind. Remember, these are general readings.

I've been a little quiet in your inbox lately, Reader. Not because I’ve forgotten you, but because I’ve been working behind the scenes on something that feels really special. Here’s what happened… One client asked me if I’d ever thought about training others to teach breathwork.The next day, two more asked.And then another. By the fourth ask, I knew this wasn’t coincidence. It was synchronicity. The universe doubling down. Truth is, I’d already been playing with the idea for quite some time....
You know that sinking feeling when you leave time with someone you love and instead of feeling nourished, you feel… drained? Believe it or not, that used to be me with my mom. I loved her so much, but I found myself either overextending or pulling away. Neither felt good. But, Reader, one day I heard something that stuck with me: You might think you have five years left with someone, but really you only have the number of moments you spend with them. If you only see someone once a month for...
I had a client recently who came in completely exhausted. She’d hit her limit, emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward. But she remembered she had one breathwork session left on her package… and she used it. Afterward, she said,“I forgot how powerful this is. I feel lighter, clearer, and like myself again. I wish I hadn’t waited so long.” And honestly, Reader? I felt a little jealous of her in that moment, because I know how good it feels to just stop, reconnect with...
