New Moon, Lunar New Year, New Week!
Lots of reasons to check in with the cards ☀️❤️
Before we dive in I wanted to thank you. We’re into the triple-digit subscriber numbers to this letter, something I started doing (and still do) for my own edification and fun.
So thank you for sharing, reading, and keeping the energy high for me on this end! I appreciate you.
If you get a lot of value from this newsletter each week, don’t forget about personalized zoom readings, too! They’re 45 minutes. I offer a safe, high vibe space to uncover more perspectives and guidance if you’re seeking a little extra help.
This is a fantastic week for setting intentions and moving energy towards something fresh and new!
What has been on your “I’d love to do that list” for a while? Now might be a good time to revisit it.
Today’s reading is with a new oracle deck that I’m loving: Voice of the Souls Oracle. It’s aesthetically lovely, and the premise is something I found intriguing:
“The Voice of the Souls Oracle aims to help you encounter three different souls: your own, your spirit guides, and other souls.”
I enjoy keeping an open mind and trying out new things. Whether these cards help you connect deeply with something or someone, or they serve as a mirror to help you reflect on new ideas, no matter.
Enjoy this weeks fresh energy and new deck vibes!

Six of Swords reversed & Calm
You’re moving into a new phase, not just this past weekend’s new moon but a deeper, inner transition.
This is exciting.
Yet, sometimes your first (subconscious) line of defense is to resist this change or any change. Your subconscious is wired to keep you alive, so it’s definitely the party pooper when new things come along.
This pairing is perfect. The Calm card asks you to accept this shift and change as a gift.
Trust yourself, you’ve made it this far.
Let the current take you with ease and calm. You’ve been waiting for this shift and the momentum it brings for a while now. Even if it feels like shaky ground (new things often do) enjoy this next phase and all of its amazing potential.
Great things are coming your way if you allow them.
two
King of Wands & Loss
Loss brings deep transformation, and often, new opportunities. It’s unusual to see opportunity when you’re in any stage of grief, but trust that it’s there for you.
The King of Wands has clarity, vision, and momentum at his back.
It’s time to look at how your loss (money, someone you cared about, health, a job, etc) may be keeping you from forward movement. This doesn’t imply that you skip grief, of course not. But it’s important to balance grief and life like anything else.
Have a good cry then say yes to a friend’s lunch invite. Journal your feelings then prepare for the job interview. Sweat it out and make a plan for where you’d like to go—and grow—next.
If you’re not pinpointing a tangible loss, look at where you might be holding yourself back by blaming others and things out of your control. Is it something you could release and accept, even if it’s difficult?
Freeing up space will give you more room for the next great thing.

Eight of Cups & Physical Pain
This pairing asks you to examine where have developed a disconnect between your emotional Self and your physical body.
We have a cultural misconception that our bodies are not wise, but instead carry around the “real us” which includes our personality, thoughts, and soul. Those are the things we call “me” when we’re talking about ourselves. Typically, we “other” the body and say, “oh, my head hurts,” etc. as if it’s a separate thing altogether. As if the headache has nothing to do with “us”.
This is a call to reconnect with the wisdom your body offers you all the time. If you’re in pain, there is a message there for you, and when you’re ready, a gift.
Your body retains everything that your mind processes, especially trauma. Where have you been withdrawing from what your body has to tell you?
If this frustrates you because you’re in a chronic—or even terminal—stage of illness, do what you can to forgive. Forgive yourself for wondering where you messed up or what choice brought you to this place. Thank your body for every time it’s been there for you, trying to support you and move you though this wild world.
Find peace in this delicate place of forgiveness & reconnection with your body. See it for the incredible miracle it is, even when it isn’t at its best.
That oracle deck was so cool, I had to buy one for myself!
