About Chris-Anne 182

Acknowledgments 183
 When I started creating The Light

Seer's Tarot, I was determined to create a

healing deck-one that was aligned with

was aligned with contemporary spiritual

experiences and 21st-century life, and that

included relatable, free-spirited characters

who took responsibility for their own sun­

shine and light. I imagined a deck of intu­

itive guides who would dig into truth and

unveil our shadow aspects as they shared

their wisdom with us.

My goal was to create a happy deck

that would lift me up, without sacrificing

tarot's incredible ability to illuminate any

deeper meanings that hid beneath the sur­

face. It had to be insistent enough to prod

me to take responsibility for my thoughts

and actions, while also inspiring me to do

the deeper healing work when I was ready.

The result of my study is the deck you hold

in your hands, and I invite you to explore

this world of traditional and nontraditional

archetypes with me. It is my wish that you

make the characters your own, and breathe

new meaning into their worlds as you work

V
your magic into the cards. Tarot can be a

profoundly healing tool, and as you explore

the sunshine-and-shadow laden path of the

Light Seer, I hope you hear it whisper that

shadow is a profound tool, and that light

is an awesome end-game. If you want to

go deeper with your cards, I have created

the LightSeersTarot.com website, where

you will be able to fmd more materials to

support your tarot journey.

To connect with others who use the

deck, use the hashtag #LightSeersTarot to

find one another online.

If I had one piece of advice for a new

reader, it would be to trust in your ability

to do this. You totally can. Wait, I have one

more piece of advice:

Have fun.

 Tarot Basics for the New

Card-Slinger

If this is your first experience with the

tarot, welcome! What an absolute honor it is

to share this beautiful practice with you.

Know that there is no right or wrong

way to read with the cards. Some people

use cards to better understand who they

are and what they want, some look to the

cards for guidance and to highlight shadow

aspects of self, and some use the cards in a

predictive manner. How you use the cards is

totally up to you.

There is no need to memorize every

card meaning before you begin to work with

the cards. I created the artwork on each card

to deliver a clear message to you and each

character is a sacred guide to your own intu­

ition. Your first impression of the card is the

best meaning! This guidebook is meant as a

reference and a resource, and it should bolster

your own unique conversation with the cards.

I highly suggest a technique called pathwork­

ing to learn more. (Pathworking is having an

imagined conversation with the card's char­

acter during your own creative visualization/

meditation time.) You'd be amazed at the

information you receive from your own inner

guidance system!

 The Major Arcana

Most tarot decks are based on the

same basic structure: 22 Major Arcana cards

and 56 Minor Arcana cards. The 22 Majors

are the big guns of the tarot. They often con­

vey the "major" energies, or the overarching

archetypal energies that surround major life

events, transitions, or lessons. The journey

of the Major Arcana begins with the Fool

card, who falls off the cliff to begin a cycle,

and ends with the World card when the cycle

is complete. If you pull a lot of Majors in one

reading, there may be significant change

going on!

The Minor Arcana

The Minors are often seen as energies

surrounding day-to-day experiences and

decisions. Traditionally, the Minor Arcana

is broken into four suits that align with the

four elements. Fire is expressed via the suit of

Wands, and it deals with inspiration, creativ­

ity, and passions. Water is felt through the suit

of Cups, which mainly deals with emotions,

relationships, and how we feel. Air is commu­

nicated through the suit of Swords, and the

Swords help express the mind, our ideas, and

how we communicate and think. And earth

3
is manifested through the suit of Pentacles,

which form messages of physical security,

wealth, and health. The Aces of each suit

usher in the elemental energy of their suit,

and as the numbers on the cards increase, the

energy and the lessons heighten.

Each suit has a set of "Court" cards:

Page, Knight, Queen, and King. These Court

cards can often be the trickiest cards to mas­

ter in the tarot . They are messengers that can

be seen as people, energies, or situations.

If a reading is heavy on Court cards, it can

mean that there are a lot of people or opinions

affecting the situation. Each card has a per­

sonality, and my favorite way to read Court

cards is imagining the character speaking up

in the middle of the reading.

Tarot can seem overwhelming when

we first get started. Daily practice makes

perfectly imperfect. There are no set rules,

decided-upon meanings, or governing bod­

ies when it comes to tarot. It is really a rela­

tionship between you, your intuition, and

the cards, so as with any great relationship

you'll build trust over time.

 A Note on Upright Cards

and Reversals

Some readers use upright cards only,

and many a case has been made that there

is no need to read with reversals, as the full

energy of the human condition is contained

within the 78 cards. I believe this to be true.

Others prefer to read with reversals, giving

us 156 messages to work with. A reversal

is when you pick a card and the image is

upside down. I have chosen to include

the meanings for upright, Light Seer, and

reversal messages, Shadow Seer, as key­

words in the guidebook, but of course I leave

it up to you how you interpret the cards.

There are three main ways that people

tend to read reversed cards:

5
 Reversals can convey the more negative

or shadowy traits of a card's energy. With

a card like the Magician, his power to

manifest when the card is facing upward

may turn into his power to manipulate

when the card is Hipped upside down.

Sometimes, reversals are seen as the

opposite of the upright, original meaning.

Most of the time, I choose to read

reversals as blocked or stagnant energy

around the card, because blockages can

highlight important opportunities for

healing. There will be a few times in the

deck when the reversed Shadow Seer

message seems slightly more "positive"

than its Light Seer counterpart, and

this is because there are cards that are

slightly easier to navigate when their

energy is blocked.

A lot of reversals showing up in the same

spread can indicate an overall stagnation or

negative mind-set, or even that the querent

is temporarily blocked from their goal. For

individual cards in a spread, the surrounding

cards always help me to decide which

messages are meant to be highlighted. The

surrounding cards are usually a fabulous

indicator of how the card's energy is meant

6
to be interpreted. If you aren't sure about

reversals, I would suggest beginning with

upright cards. Read all the card's keywords as

a starting point, and I suspect you will know

very quickly which ones need to be focused

on. Trust your gut. You've got this.

Connect with Your Cards

Start by choosing your

light and shadow cards.

Before you get started, take a moment

to connect with your cards. By simply flip­

ping through the deck with the intention to

see each card and feel its unique energy, you

will be getting yourself acquainted with the

stories and themes in The Light Seer's Tarot.

As you spend time noticing the different

characters and scenarios, take note of your

visceral reactions to the cards. The image

that brings you the most joy will be your

light card, whereas the card you feel the

most aversion to will be your shadow card.

Your shadow card may be a card in the deck

that you really don't like, and that's totally

okay. This is something that you should do

intuitively, without looking at the guidebook

to decide which meanings you prefer. As you

explore the cards, ask yourself:

7
Which one feels the most inspiring?

Which one feels like it really "gets" you?

Which one feels like a giant yes in

your system?

(These help you define your light card.)

Which one do you feel the least attracted to?

Which one just turns you off?

Which one makes you the most

uncomfortable?

(These help you define your shadow card.)

Go ahead and pick

your two cards now.

Your light and shadow cards will be your

trusted allies and guides as you work with

The Light Seer's Tarot, and they will become

your messengers along the path. Often, the

card you choose as your light card will feel

the most like where you are headed, and it will

represent who you want to be. Consider it to

be a special nod from the cards when it shows

up in a reading, because it's going to be your

big, badass YES card-the card that lets you

know you are on the right track.

Conversely, your shadow card will be

the one that stirs up the most feelings of

discomfort. Quite often this is because this

card has an important lesson to teach you.

Spend some time with your shadow card

8
now, if you'd like. Maybe fnd its meaning

in the guidebook and pull out your journal.

What lesson does the card have for you right

now? What is it about the card that rubs you

the wrong way? Maybe it's the character in

the card, or the situation they seem to be in?

Perhaps they remind you of a time in your

life or a person from your past?

Most important, try to discern how this

card could have a positive influence on your

life if you were easily able to accept the wis­

dom found on the card. We can often learn a

great deal about the challenges that we are

facing inside of our darkest shadows.

As you work with The Light Seer's

Tarot, your shadow card will serve as a gentle

reminder that some aspect of your situation

is being blocked by shadow that you've cre­

ated, and that there is a massive opportunity

to turn things around by working with a more

positive mind-set.

Readings and Spreads

There are so many ways to set up a read­

ing, and as you work with the cards you will

fnd your own favorite ways to shuffle, draw,

and interpret them. Usually you will come to

the cards with something you want to learn

about: a project, a relationship, or an idea.

Decide in advance the type of "spread" that

9
you are going to use to gather information

from your cards. Will you choose one card? Or

more? How will you lay the cards on the table?

(Pssst. There are some ideas for spreads on

the following pages!)

1. Clearly meditate on the situation

or question

2. Shuffle the cards any way you'd like

3. Choose your cards)

4. Read your card

When you are ready, flip the card

over and sit with the meaning. I suggest

spending some time looking at the imag­

ery before jumping into the guidebook.

Answers that come from your intuition

will always offer the most insight. Here are

a few questions that will help you tune in to

your own interpretations:

What does the card make you think of?

How does the card make you feel?

Does it remind you of a specific

situation?

Does the character seem to have quali­

ties that remind you of anyone?

How could the character, scenario, or

lesson on the card help you to better

10
 understand your current situation?

If they had advice for you, what would

it be?

When you've taken note of your own

intuitive interpretations, go to the guide­

book to see if there's anything more you

can learn from the card.

5. Journal for the win

To go deeper with your reading,

journal about your experiences with the

card! When you do a reading, something

on the cards will call for your attention.

It may be as simple as the time of day or

the type of landscape that the artwork

portrays. It may be an emotion, an item,

or a pair of shoes on the card that remind

you of so-and-so. These little nudges from

the cards allow you to connect your own

inner knowing with the message that

the card conveys about your situation.

And it is in this connection-in your own

interpretation of the message-that the

magic lies.

adventures, enthusiasm, awakening,

innocence, optimism

SHADOW S E E R : naivete, assuming

you already have the answer, rash or

impulsive choices, lacking experience,

analysis-paralysis, foolishness

Every dream achieved begins with

the seemingly "foolish" notion that there

is something bigger out there, something

greater to explore and to become. This

childlike optimism comes from deep

within your knowing, and it reminds

you that you can achieve all the mag­

ical things that you've been dreaming

18
about. The journey of the soul begins

with a single step, and you may fnd

yourself on the edge of an epic journey.

Turn toward your future with enthusiasm

and know that a divine leap of faith is

required in order to claim the reward that

the abyss is offering. You may not feel

ready. You may not be ready. But there is

magic in the air, and the Universe is wait­

ing to support you with infinite love and

guidance. Trust your intuition as you swan

dive into the seed of potential.

T h e Magician brings forth a powerful

message of creation and potential: You. Are.

Magic. You have everything you need to

succeed. Badass manifesting energy from

the Cosmos? All the skills you require?

They're at your fingertips! Beautiful cre­

ator, go create! Activate the magic in your

veins by focusing your energy, willpower,

20
desire, and actions. When you consciously

step into your personal power and decide

to shape the material world in this way,

every breath in (and every breath out) is an

opportunity to carve new meanings and

new perspectives into reality. If you are

unsure of your ability to create the life

you desire, trust in the latent potential

that resides within you. Feeling less than

inspired at this time reminds you that it's

time to find your muse. Find your spark.

Find your why. With everything you need

sitting in front of you like a giant Universe

cauldron, what is it that you desire to bring

to life? And what can you do today that

will bring it one step closer to reality?

visions, psychic insights, serendipity,

meditation, introspection, intuition, a

SHADOW S E E R : keeping secrets,

fear of intuitive abilities, not paying

attention to your inner voice

The Priestess sits on the edge of this

realm and the next, as she draws down

meaning and illumination from beyond

the veil. Sacred insights and profound

wisdom are flowing to you now, and to

access them you must tune in to your

intuition and submerge your thoughts into

22
her subconscious realm. The language of

the unconscious mind is revealing itself to

you now through metaphor, in dreams, or

as ancient memories that resurface to be

processed. Pay attention to synchronicity,

any nagging feelings of being off track, as

well as gut feelings that move you in a new

direction at this time. The divine whispers

that are emanating from your soul hold an

important message for you, and the bridge

between the enigmatic realm of the Priest­

ess and your conscious understanding of

the signs will be found through your own

quiet introspection.

energy is of the earth, so bring your

dreams from the ethereal realms and

ground them. Share them. Birth them. Her

bountiful abundance is always available

to you, and she reminds you to fmd her

regenerative beauty everywhere.

You are entering a time of profound

healing and blessings, and if you're feel­

ing any lack of inspiration or possibilities,

seek to heal your physical temple and to

nourish your soul by embodying her shin­

ing creative essence. Continue to move

calmly and gracefully in the direction of

that which whispers yes. This card often

affirms that you are on the right track, so

keep growing, beautiful seer, and work

with the nature of your situation instead of

against it.

SHADOW S E E R : unchecked power,

being overly pragmatic and rigid,

corruption, selfishness, defensiveness,

a desire for control, being stubborn

The Emperor's message is one of

ambitions met and success found. Often

seen as the card of the divine masculine,

the Emperor brings forth a desire to build

a better world, one brick at a time. Use

your mind as well as your heart, and rise

to power as you lead your own evolution.

26
While becoming your own emperor means

infinite possibility for your success, it

also means addressing any issues you

harbor around authority, control, and will­

power. You may need to work your magic

within the confines of "establishment," but

remember that the organizing principles of

societies are fluid over time. Remain flexi­

ble and keenly aware of your own energetic

boundaries and motives. Find opportuni­

ties to be of service to others as you build

your empire. Step into this fiery energy of

success and rise, sweet Light Seer! Embody

confident, compassionate leadership and

exercise sovereignty over your own reality.

The world is yours.

SHADOW S E E R : outdated systems

or ways of t h i n k i n g , dogma, rebelling

a g a i n s t societal norms, abuse of power,

stagnation, ego-based leadership, a

need to connect with Spirit

As you search for your divine truth,

you create frameworks of belief that help

you to expand your consciousness and

ground your faith into this reality. If

you've been stuck in an old tradition or a

structured way of acting or being that is no

28
longer serving you, it is time to let it fall

away in order to make space for a better

version of you. The Hierophant serves as

a gateway between Divine Source and

the seeker, so be open to new paradigms,

perspectives, and teachers in your life.

Look to the patterns around you and strive

to understand your own internal compass.

Know that while there is wisdom in the

teachings of the mystics, the voice of your

own heart is the one voice that matters

the most. Find the wisdom of the heavens,

within.

Magnetism like magic is coming

into your life. You are sitting on the cusp

of the type of profound connection that

30
happens when two souls are intertwined

and their entanglement forever marks their

individual paths. Often this card signifies

that an important choice needs to be made.

Will you embrace the spiraling energy

that unwinds between two people who are

beginning to connect, and choose to shift

into this relationship, or not? Falling deeply

into trust will be necessary in order to

create a lasting bond, and growth around

vulnerability, honesty, desire and intimacy

is being called into the light to be healed.

While partnerships are beautiful gifts on

the path, you must also seek to give fully

without weakening your resolve to remain

whole. Remember that self-love is the key

to balancing the duality of any relationship.

speed past the needs of others

The Universe constantly gifts us

the opportunity to become the person we

want to be. It's a magical time for taking

inspired action! Push ahead with willpower

and determination, because you will get

there. Remember: inaction is the same as

deciding to stay still. The Chariot reminds

32
you that while you are on the way to your

goal, you need to make decisions about

your best path forward. If you feel pulled

in two different directions, know that you

will be able to coax both of these energies

toward the same target. Charging ahead

without paying attention to your path can

sometimes be harmful to those in your

wake, so take care not to trample on others

on your way up the mountain. Choose the

thing you really w a n t . . . f o c u s your efforts

and move swiftly. If you aren't sure what

Be brave, sweet seer. Embody your

light and shine courageously in the face of

danger or uncertainty. Step into patience

and fierce serenity as you exert your grace­

ful influence for the greater good. There

34
is great fortitude in your calm heart, and

a gentle demeanor will not be mistaken

for weakness when you share your gift

of relentless love with the world. Allow

confi.dence and composure to guide you

toward your desires without the use of

excessive force or aggression. Mindful

awareness will be much more useful than

rigid control right now. This card reminds

you to stand strong in your beliefs and

desires, and to remain steady as you bring

compassion to your current situation. You

are powerful, and your purity of heart will

be a beacon of strength and inspiration to

those around you.

Soul-purpose, spiritual awakening, and deep

inner wisdom spring from this energy.

Sometimes, we run the risk of being so

introspective that we lose our connections

to others, or worse-we can dive so deeply

into our stories of struggle that we inad­

will be a part of our forever-identity. In the

deepest trenches of self-discovery, we must

remember that our continual search for our

own healing and inner truth does not mean

that we are not already whole and healed.

Emerge from your inner retreat with beau­

Justice asks you to learn from your

past experiences: the good, the bad, and

the fugly. Take it all and grow from it. This

energy is not about perfection, but about

fairness and honesty. It highlights clarity

of motivation and intention, and it asks you

40
to be realistic about the cause and effect

of your thoughts and actions. Seek to bal­

ance your growth with both positivity and

shadow, and learn from the many different

parts of you. In your current situation, be

impartial as you reframe your reality and

work to remove any negative emotional

charge from the equation. If fear is causing

you to act in a way that you aren't proud of,

seek a variety of perspectives before judg­

ing another person's actions to be "good" or

"bad." The only true path ahead of you is

not one that is necessarily black or white,

but it is always-always-one of love.

for new insights and vantages to shift into

place. Open your heart to the bigger plan,

and you'll inadvertently tap into a whole

new framework from which to see the world.

Know that your path-and your dream-may

look unfamiliar to you after you relinquish

the need to direct the outcomes. Surrender

to the will of the Cosmos and realign your

already know which life-altering lesson is

the key to your happiness, and your Higher

Self has so much wisdom for you when you

intentionally pause to listen.

You are on the cusp of a massive

transformation, and it's time to mourn the

end of one phase while celebrating the birth

of another. This energy of transmutation

and rebirth signals a beautiful metamor­

phosis that will allow you to expand your

44
consciousness and move closer to your own

divine essence. A cycle in your life (a rela­

tionship, a belief, a career path, or an out­

dated plan for the future) is coming to an

inevitable end. Deep breath in if this scares

yo, sweet light! This change is needed!

Know that this card urges you to release

what is already losing energy, and to focus

on things that are already gaining momen­

tum. Welcome the possibility of something

new and allow this phase to come to a

graceful end. Look toward the magic of this

newfound horizon, because underneath

its morbid exterior, the death card heralds

exciting times filled with the brightness of

so much potential! New light awaits.

Temperance is the alchemist of life,

and it calls you to create your purposeful

ingredients. Where are you fo c u s i n g your

precious energy right now? Maybe you've

46
been overdoing it in your social life? Or

binging on television, drinks or food, or

overspending? Focusing on a relationship

that is depleting more energy than it is

replenishing? Being wholly materialistic

vs. wholly spiritual? We live in a world of

extreme passions and heated hustle, so

slowing down the desire for excess in any

one area of your life may be harder than

you think. Don't do drastic right now. Stay

away from "all or nothing" choices. Clear­

ing your energy of extremes will foster a

dynamic, nourishing flow that is aligned

with your perfect alchemical purpose.

Seek equilibrium and be mindful of your

resources while fusing all the elements to

achieve a beautiful balance.

SHADOW S E E R : release, freedom from

role in a negative circumstance, realizing

that you are giving your power away,

feeling helpless, breaking the chains

The Devil reaches out his hand,

granting a release from the mundane with

promises of earthly and material pleasures.

48
While sometimes this release is healthy and

necessary, he hides the fact that he offers

everything you can become addicted to.

From alcohol, drugs, work, and sex, to more

nuanced addictions like codependent rela­

tionships or how others make you feel-any­

thing that can entrap you or overtake your

life can be harmful in excess. The Devil is

a nudge to delve into your own shadows.

He will bring you there, and then it's up to

you to either fall fully into darkness, or to

work on healing your own relationship with

your beautiful heart. Illuminate the things

that are vying for your time, your energy,

and your love that leave you feeling empty.

Remember that addictions don't necessarily

look scary and demonic until they do. Seek

liberation from the bindings that are keep­

ing you trapped and untether yourself. In

darkness, look to fragmented aspects of the

self as a source of light.

that which you simply cannot see because

it remains obscured behind shadows of

the moonlight, you will experience a deep

release that will allow you to float to the

surface of your truth. The Moon card asks

you to go within, fnd comfort in the dark­

ness, and to calmly listen to the whispers

of your own intuition. There is divinity

and magic here. When you fall into the

Moon's still waters, your inner wisdom

will embrace you, and push you toward the

beyond your own fears to find her. Dive

into her healing embrace, breathe past

true nature hidden away from the world?

There is no way to really understand your

they arrive, you may not know exactly how

to ride them, but you will be ready to learn.

Look for that new relationship, the new

client, or that lucky break on the horizon,

for the arrival is imminent.

Bring the noise! It's time to kick back

in joyful elation! You've been building foun­

dations, and after a period of massive shift­

ing, it's time to enjoy some well-deserved

communal bliss. If you've been through a

70
cycle of rapid expansion and awakening,

this card marks a transition into a more har­

monic and stable state. You have reached

new levels of consciousness, and it's the

perfect time to enjoy a milestone event and

celebrate with the people who love you.

Love them right back, as they are, and psst,

sometimes this card signifies a marriage

or another significant occasion! While

connecting with friends and family, make

sure you relax, release, and allow your body

to integrate all the lessons you've been

working through. Happiness and harmony

are yours to be had. Enjoy these warm vibes

of celebration and success. Also, when was

A little rivalry can be a good thing.

It can push us to become the very best

version of ourselves, and to move quicker

than we would if we were alone. Allow

72
opposition and challenge to help you to

evolve your methods and to push beyond

self-imposed limitations. If competition

becomes unhealthy, and you are experienc­

ing the shadow side of conflict or ambition,

it's time to take a step back and retreat from

energies that are hindering your progress.

Sometimes the need to be right, or per­

sonal feelings around being questioned or

challenged can interfere with the ability

to see your path clearly, so you may need

to Hy solo for a bit in order to reevaluate

your options. While clashing egos can

slow everything down, they can also propel

success! Choose to excel! Look for healthy

competition or collaboration that inspires

and motivates you. Learn from others and

use competing energies as a way to enrich

your experience.

Something that you've been working

toward is fi.nally coming to a success­

ful fruition, and it's time to celebrate

your wins, beautiful seer. Gift yourself

permission to bask in the warm glow of

74
accomplishment, and allow the supportive

community around you to witness and

appreciate the progress you've made.

Taking time to see your own radiance is

as important as making the next move

on your journey-accepting success will

seed more of it. Others will turn to you for

wisdom now, so step up and share your

brilliance. In shadow, this card points to

shying away from public attention and

hiding your light from the world. It may

also indicate someone who craves external

validation instead of turning to their own

inner compass to define success. Remem­

ber that no one else in the world has your

magic, and that the most important person

to impress, wholeheartedly, is yourself.

Action! You know those moments

in life that feel like a sprint? This type of

speedy energy is at play. It's inspirational.

It's fi.ery. It's positive. And it's now. If

you have a gut feeling that needs to be

acted upon, listen to it! With all of this

movement, avoid being swept along by an

78
unpredictable tide by having clarity about

your desires and direction. Harness this

beautiful window of swift opportunity! In

shadow, the 8 of Wands suggests there is

some sticky energy influencing your situ­

ation. You want to move but, a c k . . . i f your

foot's not stuck in the mud, then you've

locked your keys in the car, amiright?!

If you're fluctuating between having a

tendency to hesitate and running so fast

that you're burning out, it's time to bring

some balanced momentum into your pro­

pulsion. Consistent movement that feels

right in your heart is the best place to start.

there! As you round the corner toward suc­

cess, something may surface that threatens

your feelings of security and achievement.

It's important to remember how far you've

80
come. Don't see this minor deceleration as

a symbol of failure. Step into your resilient

last stand-one final push to complete this

task-and tomorrow, stunning light, you

can rest. In shadow, this card suggests you

are making things harder than necessary

or being overly defensive. You may even be

inadvertently choosing the more difficult

path because you believe, on some level,

that healing and ascension should be "dif­

fi.cult." Sometimes we become so enamored

with our stories of rising up that our own

shadows become romantic notions that we

seek to defend. Let go of any ideas you have

about navigating specifi.c lessons on the

path. Your time to relax into security and

success is on the horizon.

All. Those. Responsibilities. Do you

really need to carry all those Wands-all

by yourself-all at the same time? Couldn't

you drop a few of them by prioritizing?

82
Or maybe, just maybe, things would go

a whole lot faster if you enlisted some

help. (All you have to do is ask!) Drop the

nonessentials and any heaviness that is

weighing you down, because you are so,

so close, yet so, so burdened. Think: levity

and ease! Streamlining will expedite your

goals and bring relief to any overwhelm

or molasses energy that you are feeling.

Sometimes, this means letting go of a

learned behavior or a limiting belief, and

sometimes it means deleting a task on

your calendar. Whether your burdens are

material, spiritual, literal, or energetic, it's

clear that you've got some extra baggage

right now. Release that 'ish and enjoy your

last steps to the fi.nish line!

pursuit of the imagination, and if you are

What have you been dreaming about?

The Knight of Wands gallops in and out of

your reading with messages of adventure,

of impulsivity, and of bravely pursuing

the things that inspire you the most. That

passion project you've been tinkering with?

86
That drum circle you've always wanted to

join? Allow spontaneity into your choices

and gift yourself the freedom to shift your

reality to match your desires. It's okay to

crave new things and to run with the wind

when you are feeling charged up about an

idea. Go with it! Allow this high-spirited

energy to rush in and incite a wildfire of

positive momentum. In shadow, this card

counsels against reckless impulsivity and

heated outbursts. You don't want all that

pent-up creative energy to spontaneously

combust! Fan the flames, and leave some

energy for the long haul. Make your pas­

sion work for you, while whooshing yourself

toward success.

You are capable and ferce. It's time

to root into your purpose and boldly step

into the limelight of your life. The Queen

of Wands radiates creativity and passion

wherever she goes, and when she enters

88
a room her exuberant charisma and con­

fidence are palpable. Don't be afraid to be

the center of attention, and for Goddess'

sake, stop acting small in order to make

those around you more comfortable! Make

sure fiery bursts of productivity are accom­

panied by laughter and g r a t i t u d e . . . con­

nection, appreciation, and love. It's okay

to hold shadow in all of this light. Don't

push it down so deeply that you can't find

it again. Accept the parts of you that you

don't openly share. The past failures that

have held you back? They don't define you,

so transmute that shadow. Sit with it briefly

and then light it on &re, because you don't

need it anymore.

by the m i n u ti a e of the everyday, recruit

help and map out the bigger picture. Hol­

ler passionately. Invite others to see what

you see. The shadow side of this energy is

spots because of an overzealous ambition.

Keep arrogance and unrealistic expec­

An extremely positive message

of vibrant beginnings, the Ace of Cups

marks the genesis of relationships, emo­

tional connections, and deep feelings of

love and friendship. Your emotions are

94
powerful magic! Cultivate your ability

to call on expansive, optimistic, and pro­

foundly radiant feelings, and consciously

send your heart waves out into the world.

They will become powerful beacons for

awakening new adventures, romance, and

the effusive joy that you are calling into

your life. Your capacity for love is expand­

ing, so check in and make sure you aren't

repressing your ability to connect with

others as a result of being overly protec­

tive. Mindfully extend the love you feel

to your own heart as well. Forgive yourself

for past mistakes, and find a fountain­

head for healing. With copious amounts

of self-acceptance, get ready to expand!

Exciting affinities are emerging, and it's

time to open up and you give yourself

permission to deepen your kinship with

the life around you.

When you share your joy with those

around you, you will attract deep and

meaningful ties with others. This card

whispers of romance and love, bliss and

attraction, and the unity of the like-hearted.

96
Sometimes it signifies the beginning of a

new friendship or business partnership,

while at other times it marks a profound

romantic union. This perfect pairing of

matched souls has the potential to develop

into the magical and intoxicating entangle­

ment of twin flames, or the merging of paths

that will be forever united or changed as a

result. If you are single, look for the arrival

of a profoundly passionate and devoted

lover. Are you putting enough energy into

your relationships? How you see yourself

as one-half of a committed pair will deepen

and shift as the effervescent magic of the 2

of Cups bubbles into your life. This sacred

reflection will intermingle spirit, emotion,

love, harmony, and balance.

The packs you run with and the kin­

dred connections you forge are not always

defined by blood, yet they are your living

and breathing support system. Deep friend­

ships are the family we choose, and these

sacred connections are to be cherished and

98
nurtured. In the best and worst of times,

your companions serve as mirrors, allow­

ing you to see who you really are through

their eyes. Who do you need to reach out

to for support? Call in your besties and

enjoy the warm laughter that comes from a

powerful soul group. Your mutually loving

and beneficial bond carries vibrational

attractions that are often ancient, and any

setbacks arising from miscommunication

or disharmony with others may be old

wounds or patterns that are resurfacing to

be healed. If an important connection has

gone awry, it may be time to make amends.

If you need to commit more energy to

cultivating friendships, trust your heart to

lead you.

If you are finding yourself bored,

unsatisfied, or frustrated with your current

situation, know that you are likely missing

the vibrant landscapes that are present

just beyond your peripheral vision. Often

100
we become so focused on our own inter­

nal perspectives that our feelings about

a suac@on can prevent us rom noticing

the arrival of extraordinary opportunities

and remarkable things. If you remain open

to shifting ever so slightly in order to see

your situation in a fantastic new light, you

will learn that the present moment is Ii.lied

with the most dynamic magic. Instead of

focusing on what you don't have right,

focus on what you do! Even better, spend

energy focusing your thoughts on the

experiences that you will create in the

future. Taking time to meditate and slow

your mind will show you that life is better

than it seems. It's up to you to shift into the

abundance available to you right now.

T h e illusion is lifting and you may

suddenly find yourself in the middle of a

reality that is painfully disappointing. If

your dark night was a result of someone

else's deception, you will need to find the

102
seeds of forgiveness in order to avoid a

calloused heart. Release yourself from

any guilt around the situation. When we

realize that the future we were working

toward is no longer an option, it's easy to

focus on the loss and allow our energy to

stagnate and s p i ra l into self-pity. Don't

allow your life force to drain away with the

things you once loved. Allow your tender

heart to navigate toward the curative

magic of f i n d i n g faith in your future. If

you are having a hard time l e tt i n g go,

unhook your heart from your fragmented

dreams and give yourself permission

to envision a brighter future. Dismantle

your grief, reclaim your happiness, and

consciously step back onto a path filled

with hope.

You may be experiencing nostalgia

or feeling triggered by old memories. It's

time to forgive yourself by releasing any

residual guilt that you still carry from

past relationships, trauma, or previous

actions. Accept your humanness and stop

104
lamenting the decisions that you've made

up until now. Memories are a profound

tool for processing lessons and healing.

Who you were can highlight how far you've

come, and that growth can shine beauty

on where you are headed next. Time is a

beautiful thing. Contemplate the needs of

your inner child, or listen to advice from

your future self. Sometimes this card is a

literal message that someone from your

past is going to reenter your life, or that it's

the perfect moment to reconnect with old

kindreds and to reminisce. When we con­

nect with all the moments on our timeline,

we truly fnd our wholeness.

When you daydream your way into

the future, the options that you have in

front of you can feel both under- and over­

whelming. The path from A to Z is often

nebulous, and life can present itself like

a game of chutes and ladders that brings

you down only to lift you up. Your desire

106
to choose the one correct and perfect

path can further complicate and muddle

your decision, because there is no way to

know everything that will spill forth from

the Cup you choose! Use your intuition to

decide-remembering that the temptation

of shiny things can be illusory, while

challenging paths will often hold unex­

pected opportunity. Ask your discerning

heart what options honestly stand in front

of you today, and even if things are not

exactly as they seem, choosing that which

you truly desire will offer the most useful

stepping-stone right now.

She has released her last Cup into

the sea, and her bowl-burning ceremony is

over. Is it time to walk away from some­

thing in your life? Choosing your sacred

108
dream-especially when you're feeling

disappointed-is one of the biggest acts of

self-love that you can enact. When you take

that very first step, you begin to choose

yourself. There is nothing more healing

or more powerful! Find your resolve and

untether any anchors that are holding

you back. Though your disillusioned

heart may require some TLC, you can

realign your path by shedding outgrown

expectations, hopes, people, ideas, beliefs,

guilt, or ways of being. If you fnd yourself

exhausted or confused-or jumping from

thing to thing-know that you are entering

a mystical period of intense shifting, and

that releasing old stories will help you to

travel lightly. Go in the direction of epic

dreams, happiness, and greater meaning.

This is a card of abundance and hap­

wish card." What have you been wishing

for? Allow yourself to experience how

fulfilling this journey can be, and fill

your life with all the laughter and bliss

needed to spur you into the next phase

110
of your happiness. Take stock of all the

feels that are surfacing, and remember to

practice gratitude for the manifestation

of your dreams. The appearance of this

card in your spread is an auspicious mes­

sage of prosperity, harmony, and getting

what you desire. What you have been

working toward is coming to you, so enjoy

life's pleasures and sink into the awe and

wonder of a joyous heart.

This card has the powerful energy of

connected hearts, giant love, and devoted

acceptance. Often seen as the "one big

happy family" card, it's a giant yes for

relationships and love, and it predicts your

fairy-tale ending. (And hey, you get to

decide what this soulmates-and-unicorns

112
ending looks like!) Allow your heart's

expansive energy to pour into all of your

connections, including those with your

community. In shadow, this card suggests

that you need to look at how you feel

about yourself within relationships. If

you are looking for a "white picket fence"

in order to find happiness, remember that

your joy will come only from the inside

out. By waiting for other people (or better

things!) to create your happiness for you,

you undermine your own power to create

feelings of love. Bring gratitude and gen­

erosity to your life, every day. Focus on

others, and gift them your energy through

time, kindness, and service.

There is serendipity and magic here.

is the "when pigs fly" card, and holding

it in your hands is a sign that unforeseen

yet fortuitous events are coming your

way! Bring childlike enthusiasm to the

unknown, and welcome any unexpected

twists on your journey. Be open to inspi­

ration from the strangest of places and

pay attention to the intuitive musings

that arrive-they will give your creativity

wings. As you enjoy this time of strangely

unique thinking, ensure that you are not

being overly sensitive or blocking your

own flow because you are trying to control

the process. Allow your emotions to follow

the bread crumbs of joy. Play a little more.

Do something silly. Stay curious about any

feelings of wonder and awe, and allow your

sensitive dreamer to dream.

This card heralds romance and embodies

the graceful movement of a slow dance.

Enjoy this flirtation and be present to

connect. This Knight is intuitive and

totally in touch with his emotions. As

such, he knows what he wants, and he

has no problem wearing his heart on his

sleeve. This card often signifies someone

who is in love with the idea of love itself,

and sometimes this comes bundled with

unrealistic e x p e c t a t i o n s . Are you ready to

be swept off your feet and to allow deep

honesty and vulnerability to flow freely

in your life? Do you believe in this type

of true love? Get ready to take inspiration

and run with it-to make art, music, and

love, and a veritable m a s t e r p i e c e of life.

The Queen of Cups is one of the

most intuitive characters of the tarot,

floating in her d r e a m l i k e state of spiritual

118
connection. She asks you how well your

emotions have been serving you lately,

and reminds you that you have the ability

to connect on a much deeper level. Feel

and accept your emotional intuition. Lis­

ten closely as a way to understand what

is truly going on, and ensure that other

people feel heard when you communicate

with them. Devote time to their emotional

cues, and see the divine beauty in all of

life's experiences. It takes both sun and

shadow to make the ocean floor sparkle.

In shadow, this card can indicate that

you are out of touch with your emotions,

or that you are suppressing your feelings

while refusing to see the obvious. If you

feel any insecurities around openly con­

necting with others, grow into a better

partner by vulnerably sharing your own

tender heart.

He softens his gaze and reaches

for his singing bowl. When something

u n e x p e c t e d comes into the King of Cup's

awareness-something that may shake

120
another person's composure and send

them into a state of stress or anger-he

regulates his emotional state with his

mature, practiced, meditative energy.

Finding the sweet spot between the

empathic heart and intelligent mind is

the key to this successful leadership

style. Allow your emotional intelligence

to guide you as you seek to marry logic,

kindness, and love. If you are in a situa­

tion that asks you to navigate t u m u l t u o u s

energies, find your grounded serenity

by calmly choosing care and diplomacy

over force. In shadow, this King can sug­

gest that you may be feeling withdrawn,

moody, or temperamental; or you may be

losing touch with how others are feeling

at this time. Stay clear of situations that

feel emotionally manipulative. Instead,

seek to understand others through empa­

thy, tolerance, and compassion, and emo­

t i o n a l fulfillment will be yours.

Massive clarity is on the way. A new

door is opening up for you, often unveil­

ing a life-changing idea or a s i g n i fi c a n t

spiritual breakthrough. Expect "aha"

moments of lucidity to pierce your aware­

ness and to reveal a totally fresh vision

124
for the future. As this essence spirals

into comprehension, use this time to see

things as they really are, and to tune in to

new beginnings. The quiet insight of the

unconscious mind is being made available

for you, so you may experience a rapid

expansion as your conscious mind inte­

grates this newfound information. Know

that nothing can compete with the fierce

rays of wisdom and truth, so if you are

finding yourself with clouded judgement

or with stalled thinking, it's time to seek

the brightly lit energy of honesty. Gather

your discernment, your intellect, your

logic, and your insight -and clearly com­

municate the truth that is bubbling up to

be witnessed.

You know that feeling of not know­

ing? It's time to make a choice, and it may

seem like you are between a rock and hard

place. If you can't decide which way to go,

it's because you can't see the bigger pic­

t u r e . . . y e t . The 2 of Swords is whispering

that you must move in one direction. Close

126
your eyes and listen to your internal guid­

ance system for your map. If your intuition

has fallen unusually silent, it's asking you

to trust yourself and your ability to discern

and decide. Even in blindness you already

know the best way forward! When you act,

the future will reveal itself, and it will help

to move you toward your dream. Have

faith that the Universe is serving you the

right experience. At the crossroads of

duality, your analysis and overthinking

will just get you buried in the quicksand of

a million possible endings, so find peace of

mind by trusting your judgement.

grief or sadness, not s e e i n g the part

you played in a loss or heartbreak

Heartbroken, she falls to her knees,

and screams to the Universe for a second

chance. Separation can come in many

forms. From the loss of a relationship or

identity, to the disintegration of belief,

purpose, or g o a l s - s e p a ra t i o n from what

we thought we had can mark painful

128
moments in our lives. If you find yourself

amidst wavering realities and losing

something that feels near and dear to your

heart, know that this too shall pass. This

severing, although painful, is a necessary

part of the process. Despite all proof

to the contrary, your brightly lit future

will arrive because of this experience.

Tie yourself to your light and prepare to

spend some time nurturing your tender

spirit. These shadowy times are always

opportunities to become stronger and

more resilient, so give yourself time to

heal. And know that you will love, thrive,

and find inspiration again soon.

T h i s deep resting period in your life

marks a moment of intentional healing

and self-care. More than just integral to

your wellness, it is i n t e g r a l to your being

at this time-body, mind, and s p i r i t . How

you heal is your choice, and you can find

quiet regeneration through sleep or other

130
restorative practices like meditation, jour­

naling, energy healing, etc. Consciously

decide to slow down and p r o c e s s . . . b e f o r e

sprinting ahead. The hustle can be tumul­

tuous and demanding, and the only per­

son who can really direct your own radi­

cal recovery is you. Tend to your wounds,

as you may be on the verge of burnout.

Your nest will grow around you as you

sleep, and the landscape of your life will

shift beautifully as you fall into your own

rejuvenating energy. In your dream state,

you will transmute and transform your

experiences, and emerge renewed, whole,

and ready to rise. But first you must rest.

Sweet dreams, sweet chickadee.

You may have experienced an

u n e x p e c t e d loss t h a t has left you a l i t t l e

bit sore. Sometimes life isn't just isn't

fair, and these inequities can d ra i n our

energy for much longer t h a n they need

to. Often, it's the fear of failure that does

most of the draining. If you are feeling

132
outsmarted or out-jousted, remember

that one chapter doesn't define you. Wins

and losses are both a part of the human

experience, and the keys to self-improve­

ment lie dormant inside the difficulties.

Boost your consciousness, upgrade your

skills, and build on this experience.

In shadow, we learn that winning isn't

everything, especially when deceit is a

part of the strategy. The obsessive desire

to win can have us stopping at nothing

to feel victorious, and in the long run

we risk everything we've built along the

way. You may find yourself a few steps

backward after winning if you are not

bringing your integrity to the games.

Trust that a better future awaits you

on the other side of t h i s change. Maybe

134
you're going through a rite of passage

or an intense spiritual transformation.

These experiences are profoundly

personal, and you may feel alone right

now. Even when it is difficult to accept

assistance from others, remain open to

receiving help from the most unexpected

of places. Allow the gentle support of the

Universe to move you through this ocean

of evolution, and lean toward silver lin­

i n g s on the horizon. (More sunshine? Yes,

please!) Sometimes we find ourselves

adrift because we think we are ready to

move on, but our heart is still anchored

to the past. What old chapter needs to be

closed? Chase guidance in the form of

renewed hope, and get ready to explore

fresh beginnings on the opposite shore.

Traditionally, this card warns us that

we must be on the lookout for deception,

thievery, and betrayal. While we can some­

times find ourselves the victim of someone

136
else's deceit, it's also a nudge to act in

alignment with our own highest morality.

Be sure you are being honest with yourself

about the nature of your reality right now.

Sometimes we pretend that everything is

okay, or that we are doing the best we can

even when we're not. Sometimes this shows

up as recklessness or as avoidance of

responsibilities. Take only what's needed,

and remember that no excuse outweighs

your ability to act from a place of love and

integrity. You cannot deceive your own

heart, and the Universe will always bear

witness to your truest intentions. For you,

alone and vulnerable under the light of the

full moon, the only thing that matters is the

truth. Move forward with the lightness of

conscience to guide you.

are projecting. If you are feeling trapped

with no path forward, remember that

this too is a perspective that can be

lifted. When you choose sovereignty

138
over victimhood, you become the fierce

wielder of choice. You can free yourself

from your shackles and shift your out­

come dramatically by accepting that you

are the one person who is responsible for

your h a p p i n e s s . Create infinite portals of

possibility by becoming the solution. We

are never really stuck. Nurture your soul

and spend the time you need to transmute

any feelings of helplessness. While we

can't control every experience that is put

on our path, we can definitely work on

how we respond to each one. Let go of old

stories, and be vigilant of any wallowing,

low-vibe thoughts that you may be hold­

ing on to. Reframe your experiences as

lessons, and choose to h e a l.

What's keeping you up at night,

sweet seer? This card suggests a time

in your life when negative thoughts are

gaining momentum, and when you may

find yourself e x p e n d i n g too much energy

140
worrying about the future. Perception is

everything, so don't allow negative self­

talk to trip you up! If a pessimistic mind­

set spirals wildly out of control, it can

lead to anxiety, stress, or depression­

even when your thoughts carry no truth.

Are you imagining the worst instead of

activating the best? Flip your perspective

and send nurturing, loving thoughts to

your situation to overcome any disturb­

ing thoughts. Look to the light in your

situation and notice that even the tiniest

window of brightness can keep fear at

bay. Use your light to expose the illusions

and allow worries to dissipate and soften

as your bad dreams are illuminated for

what they really are.

This 10 of Swords comes to us in

times of blinding truth, when delusion

is lifted. Sometimes, the truth is painful

because it indicates backstabbing or per­

sonal loss. This card can mark an abrupt

142
end to our current path, and a jarring reso­

lution in the form of a broken relationship,

a blocked dream, a fractured partnership,

or a discontinued career path. While

these endings feel severe in the moment,

the most potent seeds of hope are always

planted in their place. Remember that

our wounds teach us about our greatest

strengths, and illuminate our innate abil­

ity to heal. Your dark night of the soul will

be met with a beautiful new dawn that is

filled with more light than you've ever

experienced. Remain open to love and

joy as you process this ending, and look

to the sunlight that awaits. Watching the

sun peek over the horizon is the highest

task of a bruised heart.

Curious and intelligent, this Page

has a thirst for knowledge that seems

unquenchable. She's an incredibly quick­

witted communicator, and she's often

compelled to share her (many!) ideas

or messages with others. At times, she's

so talkative that it becomes too much

144
for others to process, and her intense

energy can come across as unsettled or

even nervous. She suggests using an air

of inventiveness in your current pursuit.

Your goals will be met by walking a path

of honest discovery, especially where

others are concerned. Keep the lightbulbs

of curiosity turned on, and cultivate a

beginner's mind-set as you strive to learn

new t h i n g s ! Avoid falling into gossip or

even arrogance with your communica­

tion-in shadow this Page can be all t a l k

and no action. Remember that everyone

who crosses your path has something

specific to teach you, and that mirrors are

all around. Remain open to unexpected

lessons, share truthfully, and delight in

every interaction.

This Knight has one thing on his

mind, and it's running toward his success.

He's determined and passionate, articulate

and intelligent, and he has an intensity

146
that is hard to grasp. With the grace and

speed of an athlete, he turns on a dime, and

since he has no doubt in his sound logic,

he succeeds. Are you bringing your belief

and competitive assertiveness to your

situation? How determined are you to

accomplish this, and to charge ahead

with your quick thinking and strategic

decision-making? Strive for excellence

every single day in order to bring a little of

his magic into your life. As with all power­

ful energies, you may run the risk of being

overly forceful or domineering. Be careful

not to hurt others with your impatience to

win. If you are feeling scattered, distracted,

or blocked, spend time organizing your

thoughts, and make sure that all your

energy is hurtling in the same direction.

Highly astute, intellectual, and hon­

est, she watches calmly over her kingdom.

148
Graceful and logical, her wisdom is framed

in truth and proof, and she avoids the gos­

sip or fluff that others may want to hear.

She asks you to be honest in your rela­

tionships, direct in your speech, and witty

if you want to be, but above all to bring

your clearheaded, unbiased reasoning to

the table. Sometimes this communication

style can come across as cold or cutting,

so if you are having trouble communicat­

ing something that is difficult for another

person to hear, know that you can always

dip your toe into the Cup of empathy and

compassion to help with your delivery.

Sharp analysis and careful consideration

are always intelligent moves, as is being

able to clearly connect with others in a way

that is easily accepted and understood. A

clear heart and clear mind will allow you

to speak your truth, always.

King leads with facts, rationale, scientific

principles, and the logical mind. He has

an a ffi n i t y for rules and thought, and he

suggests finding impartial clarity before

150
you take your next step. Even though he

always seeks data and proof, he also knows

that blending experience with inven­

tiveness-or blending intelligence with

emotional and spiritual energies-allows

for well-rounded success. Be courageous

in the pursuit of your path, and fi.nd your

own methodical, confi.dent authority by

knowing the way rather than just feeling

the way. In shadow, this card can suggest

using knowledge to take advantage of

others. With truthful communication, it's

time to help others in a way that is honest

rather than manipulative. Find wisdom in

your experience, and seek to become the

success engineer of your life. With con­

fi.dent, clear thinking, you will fi.nd your

success.

Freshly rooted beginnings! This Ace

is a powerhouse of possibility and reveals

the materialization of earthly ambitions

and all the wonderful things. When you

first intentions, things feel so exciting, raw,

and possible, don't they? Hold on to those

feelings of optimism and success, for the

new start that you are welcoming to your

thrive. Your Ace initiates a timeline where

your future wealth, health, and material

abundance are ushered in. By figuring out

your soil conditions, your watering sched­

ule, and the needs of this unique seed, you

will be able to see it through to fruition.

Bring your determination and dedication,

and see your abundance spring to life in

the form of successful outcomes, material

and financial wins, and soul-satisfying

well-being. With this wonderful message

for good things to come, it's time to visual­

ize, attract, prioritize, and act.

With all those roles and responsi­

bilities that you've been juggling, you

may be feeling a little imbalanced. Busy

much? Maybe your calendar is totally

overbooked, and you're feeling the stress

of being stretched in too many directions.

You may be feeling the need to better

156
balance dualities or opposing aspects of

your life (your time alone vs. your time

with others, or your material life vs. your

spiritual life, etc.). Make sure you aren't

investing too many resources in one

area at the expense of another, especially

when both are equally as important. Even

though this card suggests that you're

likely able to manage it all, do you desire

this much juggling? Put some of your pre­

cious energy into creating a balance that

you absolutely love-one that will allow

you time to work, play, love, and create.

This equilibrium will not take from your

reserves of energy, but will add to it.

to add your unique essence to the bigger

picture. Remember that your relationships

are the base of your well-being. If you

are having trouble with others, seek to

align goals in order to cultivate peaceful

unions. Mutually beneficial relationships

place equal importance on each person's

novel wisdom and way of being in the

world, regardless of the relational hier­

archy. Everyone has something uniquely

enchanting to bring to the table. When

life paths are entwined, strive to create

harmonic states as you weave your way in

and out of one another's days. Welcome

people into your heart, and open doors of

possibility that didn't exist before.

You're building your life coin by coin,

and you've reached a moment of stability.

Getting here signifies an interval when

you can rest, reevaluate, and take stock.

Likely, you are being reminded to dou­

ble-check those foundations and to save

160
some money for a rainy day. How do you

feel about your finances? Continue toward

your goal without overfocusing on your

possessions and let go of any jealousy

derived from another person's position in

life. Negative feelings around abundance

will breed energy blockages big enough

to hold back even the most magical of

trajectories! The tighter you try to hold on

to things, the more you block yourself from

stepping into the flow of wealth and hap­

piness. If a scarcity mind-set is haunting

your actions, ask yourself if you are look­

ing down on others based on how much

money they have, or don't have. Actively

save and give in the world, and focus on

feeling excited and expansive.

you worried about your well-being. Are

162
you stressed about your finances or health,

or feeling left out from the prosperity that

others seem to enjoy? To counteract these

corrosive energetic states, you are being

asked to reclaim your personal power.

Find your hunger for fierce positivity,

and seek opportunity in your current cir­

cumstance. It's hiding in the shadows. If

you've been stagnant for a hot minute, ask

yourself if you've been laser-focused on

the things that are lacking in your life. If

fear, self-pity, or helplessness try to dictate

your reality, Rip the script and remember

that against all odds, all oppression, all

class barriers, all everything . . . there is

always a choice to move beyond your cur­

rent limitations. Make the absolute best of

your luminous life-you are not locked out

from that which you desire. See the keys

that will help you get there, and choose to

open the door.

Being open to give to others and

must all cultivate. This card asks you to

experience these consciously. How does

164
helping others make you feel? It feels good,

right? Abundant? Heart-centered? Gifting

your time, money, or energy to someone

else will open up the floodgates of new

resources coming your way. Be generous

with everything you have learned, and

remain conscious of the flow of abundance

from the Universe. Consider these sacred

dualities: learning and teaching. Receiving

and giving. Accepting and offering. Open

your heart to this sacred balance of energy,

and fill in any gaps you have around scar­

city and abundance. It will imbue your life

with compassion and generosity, and usher

in new states of prosperity. Donating your

energetic resources to help others will be

life-changing for those in need. Choose a

cause that moves your soul, and watch your

feelings of prosperity shift.

You're almost there! You've been

doing the work and your wildly success­

ful roots are growing. You may not see the

fruits of your labor yet. Know that they

exist, and that any lack you are feeling

is simply residual energy that's being

worked through. It's time to fall into faith,

166
and to pause and give thanks. Realize

that you are the living, breathing result

of all your memories, hopes, and hard

work. Keep going. This moment gives you

a divine interlude to revisit your purpose

and direction-your arrival is possible

only after you pinpoint the destination.

Has your journey shifted so much that

what you originally germinated is not

the thing you desire to harvest? What

needs to change to satisfy your deepest

intentions? If you are feeling any frustra­

tion or lack of progress, remember that

giant dreams are not built in a day! Take

Patience and determination are the

best ways to ensure your success. Mas­

ance, and shortcuts are not the best path

forward as you build your experience.

Remain dedicated to excellence and to

168
developing your unique form. Study, prac­

(your love, your soul, and your energetic

essence) into your work, and bring it in a

consistent, methodical way. Perfect your

craft and imbue joy into the repetitive

things that you find yourself doing. Find

flow in the details, no matter what it is

that you find yourself dedicated to. If you

know it's time to move on to something

more inspiring, find your plan to do so.

Consistent action is called for, and often

we feel blocked right before we expand

you will be stepping into your manifested

serve as funnels of glowing success. Look

for this feeling as it surges into your heart,

and use its power to move mountains,

spread love, and enjoy your harvest. Go

ahead and bask-you deserve it! Spending

some time alone will help you to process

your progress. Then celebrate! In shadow,

this card suggests that you may be working

too hard and not seeing enough in return.

Examine feelings of self-worth and look

at your energy balances in and out. The

rewards must always equal your energy

expenditure, and if you sense an imbal­

She holds her mandala with a curious

heart, and roots into the bedrock to begin

understanding the manifesting essence

that we all hold. (Remember when you

174
thought you could be an astronaut? Go

ahead and ground that energy before it

dissipates!) We activate practical magic

with our hopes, and we pull energy up

from the earth to bring it to form. Prog­

ress happens one life-stage at a time, and

you must anchor into the details while

simultaneously keeping your head in the

clouds to dream. There may be pieces that

still need to fall into alignment, but that

doesn't mean that they aren't going to

arrive! You're in the perfect place to figure

out how to make your prosperity a reality.

Seek confidence and dependability, and

remember that you hold this power no

matter where you stand today. New per­

spectives and upgrades of consciousness

are on the way, so use your plans for the

future and expedite its arrival.

He's toiling and tilling his lands,

and enjoying every minute of it. More

p ra c t i c a l than the other Knights, he

improves things for h i m s e lf (and for

those he loves) with his s t e a d fa s t

and consistent momentum. Devoted

176
to solidifying foundations, he assures

you that extra care today will multiply

y o u r harvest tomorrow. It's t i m e to show

fierce loyalty, pride, and trustworthi­

ness-and to tend to your home while

uncovering your unwavering ambitions

for the future! Sometimes this energy

is so stable that it feels repetitive, so

if you are feeling resistance or if you'd

kinda prefer to stay in bed, find the joy

in your progress. The journey is the thing.

Uncover heart-stirring enthusiasm by

allowing yourself to believe in some­

thing brighter. This is a card of infinite

expansion, and with time and faith, your

seeds will take. Follow through on your

plans and p r o m i s e s , and move any stag­

nant energy that's blocking you from

your dreams.

T h i s s e lf - m a d eQueen reminds you to

step into abundance by shifting any shad­

ows you are holding on to around wealth

and security. You are safe. Pay attention to

178
your hnances to level-up your money game,

and give yourself permission to rise into the

upper ranks. This is a positive message of

creature comforts and happiness, and this

earthly medicine ushers in- a life well lived

in the material world. Connect with nature

to fnd your calm, healing, and rooted power,

and harness the abundance that's available

to you by bringing groundedness to your sit­

uation. Shower others with warm blessings

from a charitable heart, as loyalty, family,

and community are themes at this time.

Your nurturing and down-to-earth approach

will gift stability and support to those in

your life. Don't overextend your energy, and

avoid enabling others by over-mothering

them. They must learn to walk on the ir own.

Bring your self-worth and guidance, and

your glorious, powerful love.

Exuding warmth, The King of Pen­

tacles welcomes you into his study for a

heartfelt conversation about life. He's

worked his fields, met his soulmate, found

wealth, and now he looks out over his

180
dream manifested as he offers you one

of the tarot's most potent messages of

forthcoming abundance and prosperity.

The most important thing to be done is

to enjoy it all, sweet seer. Enjoy every

lesson, challenge, failure, and success.

He reminds you to get clear on where you

want to be-to plan and envision. There is

manifesting power in the longing, and so

much joyful expansion as you bring your

greatest potential into existence. Happi­

ness happens when you do better than the

last time, and in the pursuit of personal

growth allow yourself the extravagance of

desire. The rest is a consequence of faith,

steady habits, and the courage to cultivate

enormous dreams. Dream your biggest

light to life.

 Thanks for being curious about my

world!

I am a designer, a brand strategist,

and a lover of tarot and magickal thinking.

I was placed smack-dab in the middle of my

happy place when I brought my passion for

design, magick, and card-slinging into this

epic tarot project.

When I'm not creating decks I am help­

ing entrepreneurs build their businesses via

intuition, strategy and magic; opening and

closing sacred space, or spending time out­

doors with my husband Alejandro and our

Aussiedor puppy, Jupiter.

182
 With giant gratitude to my husband,

Alejandro. I love you, amor! Gracias for your

support and for living inside of this tarot

deck with me for the last two years.

To my dear friend Sue, who has jour

neyed the realms of sunshine and shadow

with so much grace, tenacity, and love.

Thank you for for sharing your guidance

with me throughout this creation process.

Gracias a Valentina Abusabbah­

Valladares, mi diseiiadora, colega y amiga. I

couldn't have done this without you!

To Becca, my business soul-sibling

and my sacred mirror during this project.

Thank you for listening!

To Mom and Dad. Your love shines.

Thank you for believing in me.

To Janet and Craig Williams, who

brought effervescence (and fun!) to this proj­

ect from the very first card. I love you both.

Giant colossal love to the Kickstarter

and lnstagram communities for believing in

this project.

183
 AND OF COURSE to Allison Janice

at Hay House. Thank you for seeing me.

For making me feel so very realized. (Oh­

Ahem. And the badass editing skills. We

needed those.) I feel like you've helped me

through my first day at school. Giant love!
