Happy Sagittarius season! ♐️ Sag rules the Tem

Happy Sagittarius season! ♐️ Sag rules the Temperance card in tarot, which is such a healing card!
⁠
If you're like me, you are a complex, multi-faceted human being. And in the past, I had a lot of trouble reconciling the different parts of me. For example, was I a professor or a writer? An academic or a witch? Would anybody want to learn about tarot from a mythology and literature professor? And would any of my colleagues respect or encourage this non-academic writing? Could I be both? All?
⁠
Everybody’s different, of course, but I realized that for me, compartmentalizing and keeping things separate isn’t always optimal. It’s fkng exhausting to be perfectly honest. 😩Temperance teaches us that seemingly incompatible substances can sometimes mix together in beautifully creative and transformative alchemy.⁠
⁠
Instead of living in the land of either/or, maybe we can be reveling in a new land of both/and and don’t even know it. There are no rules. Sagittarius makes their own rules and invites us to do the same this season.⁠

Swipe through today's post for a super simple and fun tarot reading trick inspired by these musings. Let me know what you discover! 🌞⁠

✨ TAROT READING TIP ✨⁠
⁠
Don’t get too hung up on tarot suits. Depending on what you asked, your tarot question might override the card’s suit. ⁠
⁠
Let’s say you ask about love or romance and draw the 4 of Pentacles. It’s probably not a message about saving money or being afraid to lose money. You asked about love, so it might be about withholding affection, having your guard up, or fearing loss of your sense of self in a relationship. ⁠
⁠
If you ask about your career or your business and draw the 2 of Cups, it probably isn’t telling you about your next date or romantic partner. You asked about business, so it might be about a collaboration, merging talent or assets, or getting some input from a trusted colleague.⁠
⁠
Again, it depends on the question and the context of the tarot reading, so use your intuition and judgement in the moment. 🤎

I’m so sick of my shit.

Like, obviously I’m so so angry at *gestures wildly around her* but I’m also just so sick of my own shit. Like my imposter syndrome. Or my need to be liked by everyone. Or my need to stay quiet about things that matter to me because what if somebody disagrees with me - the horror! 😱. Or my fear of being imperfect and the terror of taking a risk and failing publicly and proving the haters right.

My therapist reminded me that it’s been a tough couple weeks for women (and others). Many of us do not exactly feel valued, supported, or empowered right now. And it can cause us to be extra hard on ourselves, like every misstep or misjudgment or flaw or weakness just confirms how little our country values and respects us.

So how can we be kinder and more compassionate to ourselves (and each other) this week? What unproductive and false thoughts and perceptions can we release?

The full moon can be a lovely time to do this because we have a cosmic marker in the sky, helping us visualize whatever it is for us waning a little more each night, slowly loosening the harmful grip it has on us.

Sending you love and solidarity even though everything is the worst. 🌝💖

I pulled this card the day before Election Day and I still haven’t recovered. 🫠 But it did inspire me to unearth the charm bracelet my husband bought for me ages ago at a flea market in Brooklyn that had gotten buried in my jewelry box 🙈 and to embrace the change in season that L.A. (okay, me) has been desperately longing for.

And that’s what the Wheel of Fortune is all about - trying to keep our center so we can adapt and thrive with as much grace as possible in all sorts of seasons. 🍂💛

Tarot is a system. And knowing how the system work
