Tarot De Carlotydes 🗼
New week, new deck
If you’ve been a subscriber for a while, you might remember a pick-a-card I did while visiting my dear friend in Paris last summer. Fast-forward: my friend is here visiting and brought me a beautiful Parisian deck as a gift: The Tarot de Carlotydes
It’s a sweet little deck that I’m excited to get to know.
So settle in, take a few deep breaths, and pick-a-card.

one
King of Swords reversed
When our minds are busy and things feel chaotic it can be tough to really hear our own voice.
Swords are the suit of the mind: overthinking, clarity of thought, and truth, to name a few themes.
If you were drawn here this week, consider where you might be straying from embracing your full power and alignment.
Is there an influence in your life—substance, person, job, etc—that’s making it difficult for your to really step into alignment with yourself?
The King is a reminder of how powerful we can be when we shut out the noise and listen to ourselves. Be aware of others who may try to manipulate you or try to lead you astray right now.
two
Knight of Cups reversed
It’s a good time to look at how your attitude and view of others is effecting your life and happiness levels right now.
Are you jealous of someone else? Maybe just moody in general so everything feels a little off?
It can take a lifetime to master, but recognizing when our own assumptions about others and what their life is like are getting the best of us is a start.
Remember, you don’t likely have the whole story. Or perhaps you’re only seeing a filtered “social media” view of something and you’re forgetting that we all have problems and low days, even the people who you think are killing it.
Notice the assumptions you make about others and how they make you feel, then shift your perspective.
three
Nine of Wands reversed
It’s time to dig deep if you feel depleted in any way.
The nine of wands is all about resilience, but reversed, it’s a powerful reminder that you are so much stronger than you think you are.
There is a well of resource within you to improve your life in whatever way you dream about.
Lean into what might be a challenging time right now and know that it can serve you if you allow it. Then make the decision about how you want to move forward.
You get to decide. Things happen, but you ultimately have control over how you deal with everything. No one else.
