Pick-a-card for the week ahead
New Moon in Scorpio ♏️ 🌑
A fresh new moon cycle and a brand new week! Hooray!
I’m studying astrology from a few different sources, but am still very much a novice. As the tarot knowledge takes more of a hold, I feel like I have some freed up space to learn again.
And one thing about this new moon is that it’s surrounded by the energy of change.
Here are a couple of journal prompts to work with this week from @reflectivetarot. These are some GOOD ones:
🌑 What does stepping out of my comfort zone look like in various aspects of my life?
🌑 In what areas am I in denial or resisting change, and how is it impacting my well-being?
🌑 Reflect on a time when embracing the unknown led to positive transformation. What lessons can I apply now?
Change is a constant thing. How can change be a positive catalyst in your life?
Once you settle in on what you’d like to hear from the cards, keep on scrollin’.
Much love,
Natalie

Page of Wands reversed + The Sheep & Blackberry
The sheep and blackberry ask you to reflect upon devotion.
What are you devoted to in your life most? Health? Children? Work? Learning?
The page of wands steps in here and asks: how are you stifling or getting in the way of showing up how you’d like to with this devotion?
The page of wands reversed is that part of us that blocks our greatest intentions with distractions or excuses.
In some cases, it might feel like you’re pulled in so many interesting directions that you’re not quite able to give what you’d like to a given person or situation.
This may seem short and sweet, but there is a lot in there for your to unpack this week.
This is a wonderful opportunity to really get clear about how you’d like to show up and what you may need to adjust so you hit the mark.
two
The bear & cedar + 4 of swords reversed
If you are in a role of leadership in some way (parent, boss, teacher, doctor, etc) where your input influences others, great. I’m sure you’re doing your best and a great job, too.
The 4 of swords is a gentle, yet firm, reminder that in order to give your best as a leader, you must first take time for yourself.
This goes beyond rest. In the reversed placement this is about deep introspection.
Contemplation takes time and patience, as well as the necessary space.
If you’re seeking to show up better, start within. Take a pause and look at how things are going.
What do you love about how you lead?
Where might you be able to improve?
three
10 of swords reversed + the otter & cattail
After a long, trying road (10 of swords) this is your sign that the air is starting to clear.
But there’s a catch: you have to allow it to.
Peace is available to you, and so often it’s about shifting your mindset and energy to allow it in.
Believe it or not, we grow attached in a very unconscious and habitual way to our daily grievances. Our moods and our attitudes become who we are and shape our world so much more than we might think they do.
Release the turmoil you’ve been entrenched in. It is outside of you and out of your control.
From there, you can plant a seed of peace.
Release then peace. Release then peace. Release then peace.
Book a reading or gift one…
readings are via zoom and last about 45 minutes
everything is confidential, and I won’t identify you in any way unless you give me permission to share. Sometimes I’ll share pictures of the cards themselves, but that is in no way linked to you unless you want it to be
this is NON-predictive, meaning you have full agency and responsibility. I’m not predicting the future, merely guiding you to make better decisions and see things in new ways
these are FUN! Sometimes people cry, or laugh, or both
