Hi friends,
Today’s letter is a short and sweet message for your week ahead.
I absolutely love this deck. It just feels like autumn.
As always, take a moment to breathe, calm your mind and body, then choose.

What seeds are worth planting? What is your soil craving right now?
Sometimes the pursuit of material success can pull us away from the soul’s desire for alignment.
This card invites you to reconnect with the earth of your own being. There is wisdom in the stillness—listen to it. It’s not the time to push but to nurture your inner world. Like a tree waiting for spring, your growth will come when you align with your deeper intentions, not just external goals.
As Mary Oliver reminds us, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” The Page of Pentacles reversed asks you to contemplate this question deeply, not with a sense of urgency, but with gentle curiosity.

five of cups
Grief has a way of anchoring us in the past, of tying our hearts to what could have been. The 5 of Cups speaks to the heaviness of loss, regret, or disappointment—but it also holds the quiet promise of hope.
The river of time flows, and so must you. Grief is a powerful teacher, and though the lesson may be painful, it asks you to find beauty in the wake of what has gone.
Grief can be as deep as human (or pet!) loss, watching a neighborhood forest cleared for building, or pretty much anything in the news. It can also be a yearning for a different version of you that you feel far from, but want to connect to again.
It takes many forms. Let whatever you are working through teach you. If you listen, the lesson is there.

nine of swords rx
This card acknowledges that you’ve been carrying a burden—perhaps silent fears or unspoken anxieties—but it also whispers that you’re on the edge of something lighter. The worst may not be behind you yet, but you’re starting to awaken from the grip of those dark nights.
There’s a sense here of confronting the nightmares, the looping worries that have kept you up but not running from them. Instead, you’re learning to observe them, to hold them in your hands and see them for what they are—phantoms of the mind.
It’s time to loosen your grip, allow the light to crack through, and remember that your strength lies not in resisting fear, but in knowing you will walk through it.
