I hope youâre having a beautiful start to your week. If youâre new hereâor if you need a refresherâmy approach to Tarot might be a little bit different from the Tarot ideas youâve been exposed to in the past.
Thanks for reading Capricorn Born! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
First of all, I donât approach the cards as a âfortune tellerâ or literal divination tool. This means that instead of trying to see into your future, I interpret the energies each card represents along and with others to explain a message or energy signature.
Itâs like telling a story.
This offers you, dear Seeker, the opportunity to connect more deeply with your inner wisdom, be it via body wisdom or other ways of interpreting data and messages.
If you were to flip a coin as a way to decide on moving to LA or New York City, there is a split second before your hand uncovers the result where your inner wisdom desires a specific outcome. You can feel it in your body in a flash. There is a clear âyay!â or ânay.â
Try it.
Itâs the same with the cards. They point to things in your life that are seeking to get your attention. Our busy brains are good at shoving this stuff aside and ignoring what we know needs our attention. The cards offer us a bridge between our busy lives and our inner knowing.
This, if listened to and embraced, can offer new insights, healing, and answers to help you be a happier, healthier human.
If youâre enjoying these weekly messages, please consider sharing with a friend, too!
This weekâs reading is a two-card spread with one tarot (The Fountain Tarot) and one oracle (Spirit of the Animals) card.
Try taking a few deep breaths, in through the nose, out through the mouth. Quiet the mind and invite any messages to surface that youâre meant to hear.
Take your time, then choose a pile.
The crystals & stones:
1, 2, 3âSelenite: represents spiritual purity, light, and connection to the angelic realmsâ¨crown chakra
Hold up!
Choose a pile from the photo above before scrolling down.

The Swan & Strength (reversed)
Okay, dear one. Now is the time to give yourself some GRACE.
Are you caught in a cycle of negative self-talk, destructive habits, and old fear-based thoughts?
You will experience these things from time to time, but itâs important to recognize that you are trying to do this thing called human-ing, and the person that gets hit with the brunt of your darkest capabilities is always you.
The Swan is here with Reversed Strength to ask you to do something for yourself today:
Forgive your perceived flaws, mistakes, and destructive behaviors. How can you move the needle one notch in a better direction?
Perhaps youâve been putting crappy stuff in your body day after day. Maybe this means something as deep as a cleanse, or simply picking up a glass of water or saying ânoâ to the third cookie.
Itâs many tiny decisions that move things in a big way. Donât be so hard on yourself, but try to allow some positive energy to enter in where you need it most.
A favorite high-vibe prayer, known as ho'oponopono, I try to offer myself each day. Look in the mirror when you wake up, or before bed (âŚor right now!) and repeat the following:
I love you.
Iâm sorry.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
two
The Peacock & Nine of Coins (reversed)
The Peacock wants you to shine and strut your best Self, but not at the expense of othersâŚever.
Humility is a practice, and the Nine of Coins reversed suggests that there are areas in your life where you might be acting with too much Ego and not enough heart.
This can show up as going into debt in order to âhaveâ things that are symbols of success. Or just plain old shiny object syndrome where youâre drawn to invest in items or projects or people that donât ultimately serve you.
Is there an area in your life where youâre in a transactional relationship rather than a co-creative, mutually beneficial one?
How can you offer your talents, skills, or time to lift up someone who may need it without expecting anything in return?
Showing up to show up rather than having expectations of reciprocation is how you serve in truth rather than trying to get something out of it.
three
The Puffin & Five of Swords (reversed)
These two have a strong message for you:
Who are you at odds with? Do they even know how you feel?
Youâre digging your heels inâeither subtly over a long period of time or angrilyâand itâs causing some major resentment. Perhaps itâs fresh and the resentment hasnât had time to solidify yet.
In order to stand strong in your beautiful uniqueness and bring some of your value to the table, there must be room for compromise. You have a lot to offer, but moving forward involves forgiveness, negotiation, and finding a resolution.
Can you identify who in your life this message applies to? Is it perhaps your relationship with yourself?
Whether another person or your inner being, there is so much potential here. If you need help, ask for it.
