A question for you ❄️🪐
plus, a new Oracle deck!
Evolution
I’m sure you’ve noticed a few little housekeeping changes around here, mostly the layout and a few softer colors for the links, etc.
Can you believe it’s been a year and a half since I started this weekly newsletter? Bonkers! The evolution of Capricorn Born continues to be a super fun one for me, and hopefully, for you, too.
I’m so grateful to you. Thank you for reading, supporting, and sharing with others. I really enjoy this work and am excited to see where this journey continues to take me!
Keeping you in the loop
I love writing this newsletter. The feedback I get is uplifting and awesome. The experience is super fulfilling for me. It takes a lot of time to stay so consistent (every Monday), so I’ve decided to make a small shift that feels fair to me, and hopefully, to you.
I’ll be moving to a subscription model in the coming weeks, likely in the ballpark of $8.88/month for this weekly reading (4 readings per month) as a high-vibe number. I’ll also explore one more subscription tier where some additional content will be available, but I’m not sure what that looks like yet.
For now, just wanted to put that bug in your ear and to get your feedback.
How does $8.88/month feel to you? Fair? Too much? Not enough?
I’d love to hear your thoughts by responding to this email with a quick vote.

one
Watching Clouds & Seven of Wands, reversed
Even though you have the desire or drive to get things done, it’s likely that you’re depleted. This means that you’re stuck in “busy work” but not really making meaningful progress.
Let’s break it down further: “meaningful” is something you accomplish that feels good and true, and likely brings with it a sense of contentment. The Seven reversed asks you to look at what you’re trying to do and why you are not getting anywhere.
Where in your life do you feel at your wit’s end or a nagging thread of exhaustion?
Instead of trying to shape and mold this experience or push it out of your life, Watching Clouds is a beautiful reminder that we can make the most progress by pulling back and stopping for a while.
What does it look like to take a step back for a little while?
What we resist persists. Instead of trying to problem solve, try resting and doing absolutely nothing. This allows fresh new energy to build up to serve you down the road.
two
Valiant Courage & Four of Pentacles
The Four is a reflection of the things in your life that you’ve mastered in the material world. Pentacles is the suit of Earth and the physical things in our lives, especially connected to money and the “stuff” we accumulate.
You’ve been prudent and created a stable foundation, but your need to control every last part of the outcome is worth looking more deeply at.
Why do you feel like it must be a certain way or else?
This is a call to gather the resources—skills, money, things—that you’ve so carefully organized and take some risks. Get comfortable with the world surprising you a little and relinquish a bit of your need to control the outcome.
There is a bigger risk of magical opportunities passing you by if you play it safe too much. Check-in with yourself and take a chance on that little small voice calling to you.
You can’t get it wrong because there is knowledge and experience no matter how it unfolds that will only help you.
three
Vast Vistas & Four of Cups, reversed
There is a whole, beautiful world outside that misses you, friend.
As a suit connected deeply to emotions, the Four of Cups reversed is a sign that you’re withholding your true feelings and keeping things inside.
Why don’t you feel like you can stand fully in your truth? What might happen if you were brutally honest with yourself or with the people that know you best?
Imagine how many new doors and paths might appear if you fully embody your Truth!
This requires some work, but accessible and doable work, for sure. First, get honest—brutally honest—with yourself and how you really feel about the issue. Then, take the brave step to act on that honesty and share it.
See where true alignment takes you, and how quickly things unfold in your favor.
