My aunt passed away recently. Her name is Judy and she was incredible in so many ways. She had the brightest soul and smile. In addition to life, she absolutely loved hearts. Hearts in cards, on her sweaters, in the decor around her home. Always hearts, as long as I can remember.
A couple of days after her passing I was in the yard and had the impulse to take a video of a beautiful sunset moment. The original intent was to try to capture the purple creeping charlie flowers and little flies dancing in the light.
It wasn’t until I watched the video back that I saw it:
It stayed like that for the full video. There is a knowing when these hit, and I knew it wasn’t an accident.
I’m always interested in hearing about your synchronicities, too. Send them my way!
On to the cards…

PS: I am delighted to share that after a lot of testing and tweaking, CouncilWork is ready for all of you. What is it? It’s a powerful tool for relief and clarity if you’re carrying something heavy. I use it all the time. If you’re skeptical or on a budget, I think it’s a wonderful place to begin exploring your shadow and healing.

one
King of Wands & Iridium
The King of Wands is a leader with a clear vision.
What are you dreaming about that you can practically feel & touch? It’s time to make a plan to chase those dreams as they get closer and clearer.
Like Iridium, channel your most transformative and powerful Self to achieve anything you dare dream about. This is about trusting yourself and knowing you can do this, you’ve made it this far.
This is your time to be a visionary, find your alignment with that vision, and trust you are supported along the way.
two
Page of Swords & Tantalum
Satiate that thirst of knowledge this coming year, or perhaps, rediscover it.
The Page of Swords is full of excitement and new ideas. What is something new you’d like to learn or try out?
You have the tenacity of Tantalum at your back here, which is likely a person in your life you can co-create with or learn from.
But beware of overdoing things, pushing too hard, and getting too extreme in your endeavors.
It’s a time to approach things by balancing your excitement for taking on something new with continuing to care for yourself in the process.
three
The Moon reversed & Yttrium
It is no accident these two found each other for this reading. According to Uusi’s guidebook to the deck, Yttrium’s “path is a moonlit one.”
I mean, how perfect, right?
Lunar, feminine, supporting. These are all qualities the Yttrium brings. With a reversed Moon, it is time to release.
Release fears, circular thought patterns that aren’t serving you, and seek Truth under the illusions around you.
If you’re struggling to find clarity in your life, this is an important reminder to reconnect with your intuition. Your body knows the way and the Moon is there to support you, always.
I picked one... King of Wands... I've literally been working on a draft post about the King of Wands for three days. Crazy synchronicity.
