Crystals & Salmon ✨🐟
simple, bright energy for your week ahead
It’s an Oracle week!
A reminder: the classic (Rider Waite) Tarot deck has 78 cards, with 22 Major Arcana cards, and the rest making up the four suits of Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles.
Oracle decks are limitless and vary a TON. They usually have their own theme or vibe, and I typically use them to add a broader message to a Tarot-deck reading.
Sometimes, though, they’re fun on their own.
This week’s reading features two oracle decks: The Crystal Spirits Oracle & The Salmon Guidance Deck.
Part of what draws me to this healing & growth tool—reading the cards—is the gorgeous art and different perspectives. Every reading is different and they are always visually awesome to look at.
You’ll see a sprinkling of Blue Lace Agates in the mix today, too. It’s a calming stone connected to the throat chakra. I’ve also featured the master cleanser & healer, a large cut of Clear Quartz. It’s super hefty and balances the table nicely.
Take a few breaths and let a question or intention surface, then choose a card.

Choice & Voice
“Consider our greatest gift of choice. We govern our own thoughts, feelings, attitudes. Consider what you are able to direct with your voice. A beautiful constellation of you. The choice of speaking out and directing your life. What to do next and how to direct your dreams. Speak your inner truth.”
Petrified Wood
Trust in Universal timing and have patience.
It’s in slowing down that you can connect most deeply with your inner guidance. Your inner truth will always guide you, but sometimes you are too busy to listen.
Or perhaps you’re wanting to “make a decision already” about something and feel impatient.
Don’t rush at this time, not until you feel aligned.
The message for you this week is to remember “alignment before action.” Take note of where you might be making automatic, unaligned actions. Course correct by listening to your intuition, and have patience.

Your Heart is Home
“Follow your heart to find its home. Feel the warm sun on your back and know that the decision you made makes you feel the most at peace.”
Petalite
Be the witness. Be the observer.
Trust yourself and the decisions you’ve made to get this far. You are right where you are supposed to be.
Petalite energy reminds us of the power we have when we practice non-attachment.
It’s a good time right now to release fear or expectations around a specific outcome. If you’ve been going over and over something in your mind, wondering if you messed up, it’s time to release it.
You can’t get it wrong unless you choose to ignore the lesson.
Follow your heart and you will be firmly on the right path.

Whistle in the Wind
“Listen to the song in the air. There are many ways that loved ones and angels reach out to us in our physical world. We can always reach out and ask for signs.
Remember to ask for help.”
Orange Sapphire
Honor your body and experience its miracles. It serves you so well. Orange Sapphire supports self-care and body love.
Try to connect with your sensual and creative side this week. If there is a message you’re seeking an answer to, it’s likely to show up if you get out of your head about it.
In the meantime, things that taste and feel good will suit you well as you listen for messages to come through.
Chocolate, silks, and getting cozy and warm are where it’s at this week. Allow yourself time with a creative medium, especially something really hands-on and earthy, like pottery, baking bread, or finger painting.
Connect with your Sacral chakra energy space with stretching and breathing practices.
