Can tarot reveal your future? Sure. Sometimes, for some people, in some situations, yes.⁠
⁠
But you know what it can do for all of us if we’re open to it?⁠
⁠
Help us get clear on our goals, our strengths, obstacles or limitations, work-arounds available to us, where to be patient and where to be bold, how to forgive ourselves and others, when to stand our ground, and when to open our hearts. And all of this in service of living our best lives and stepping into the version of us we know already exists inside of us. ⁠

Who else uses tarot this way? 🎙️
I'm officially on winter break! And while I'm ecst I'm officially on winter break! And while I'm ecstatic for the time off, it's hard for me to actually take a break and slow down. In fact, I'm even escaping to Hawaii tomorrow to cultivate more of that lowww and slowwww vacation energy! ⁠
⁠
If you, like me, need help honoring the cold, slow energy of these wonderful wintry days and instead want to suck it up and power through and be productive (like, what does that even mean at this point honestly? why are we like this!?) swipe through for three tarot questions to ask your deck for support and intuitive inspiration. ⁠
⁠
If you can't read the questions in the graphics, here they are:⁠
⁠
1. How can I hold stronger boundaries today?⁠
2. What can I take off my plate today?⁠
3. How can I refill my cup today?⁠
⁠
Let me know how you're enjoying the rhythm of this season, whether it's sleepy, celebratory, or a little bit of both!
A tarot spread to help us lean into the curiosity A tarot spread to help us lean into the curiosity and adventure of Sagittarius season! 🏹⁠
⁠
If you can’t see the questions in the graphic, here they are:⁠
⁠
1. What do I feel most curious about right now?⁠
2. What am I the most optimistic about right now?⁠
3. What seems to be holding me back from growth?⁠
4. What new adventure is calling to me?⁠
⁠
And P.S. If you try this post, feel free to let me know what you get for the second question. I would not be mad at a collection of community optimism right about now. 😊
I turned 40 this year, so maybe that milestone is I turned 40 this year, so maybe that milestone is what has made me grow quite fond of the Six of Cups and the life advice this tarot card has to offer. In fact, I love what Michelle Tea's book Modern Tarot has to say about the 6 of Cups and aging in our society:⁠
⁠
"Our culture is so youth-crazed that it encourages us to believe that our best years are behind us by age twenty-five. Of course this isn’t true, but if you’ve been feeling old before your time, this card is telling you to get off your ass and do something childlike. Play, run, dance, go rock-climbing, eat an ice cream sundae, dress inappropriately, go to a concert, make some sloppy art—do whatever it takes to pull yourself out of the mental doldrums. The children at the heart of this card encourage us to locate our inner child and try to see the world with their simple, innocent, joyful vision."⁠
