#Tarotscopes Week of 1/12-1/19

by Kirsten Renee

New week, new mood? No, just me then. . . That's okay! As we wind down towards the end of Capricorn season (12/22 - 1/19) and quickly approach the greatest sign of all time Aquarius! The energy in the air is very raw and unique and it's a wise idea to tap into it. Four days until the New Moon in Capricorn, which is a good time to plan out this next month or so. Write down daily goals to help you reach your overall goal! Help yourself manifest what it is that you want out of 2018. What new heights are you wanting to reach? How can you help yourself reach those heights, and what is blocking you from reaching those heights? It's also a good time to set good habits and break the ones that aren't healthy. Let's get healthy in mind, body and spirit! Sign up for a new zumba class or start walking at a local park with friends. Either way, get active!

Let yourself hang back a bit, don't overdue it with the constant need to be right. This week try practicing taking a step back and letting yourself be the observer. Who knows, you might just find something that you've be missing out on. You might even remember a project that needs a little TLC from its creator too! Be kind to yourself, to this planet and to the people in your life. Often times the stress of our daily lives takes a toll on our relationships. Don't let it, allow yourself to love freely and receive the love that your family & friends are giving you!

Have a happy week, trust your gut & blessed be!

Capricorn

Participation + The Hanged Man

Sweet Capricorn now is not the time to isolate yourself. 2018 needs to be the year you put yourself out into the world. This week you should focus on checking the foundations of the relationships you share with others. Once you put yourself out into the universe, the universe will guide all of your hard work into the physical world. You just have to let yourself be seen.

Aquarius

Compromise + Queen of Wands

IT’S ALMOST OUR TIME MY FELLOW AQUARIAN’S!!!! The message for Aquarius this week is very simple. Have courage in what it is that you want, let that momentum drive you to doing you! You don’t have to detour yourself unless you choose to. Hold yourself accountable! Buy yourself a planner or download Google Calendar. Plan out your days and keep a hold of yourself, you’ve got this.

Pisces

Ripeness + The High Priestess

Time to cash in some checks Pisces, this week ahead for you is booked and hella busy. Which is a good thing, you deserve this boost. Not to mention your finances are going to be POPPIN! Just remember, take time to breathe because even a go getter like you can get overwhelmed.

Aries

The Source + Jack of Cups

You’ve been feeling some fantastic energy since the start of the new year. If you haven’t, now is a good time to see what blockages you have. January is bringing a special type of healing energy and it’d wise to connect to it. Aries, you are allowed to let yourself go on as many adventures as you want! As long as you remember to stay out of your own way, you’re going to go far.

Taurus

Healing + 7 of Cups

This week isn’t one that you need to do what you normally do. You’ve been known to take on more than you need to, and that isn’t always a good idea! You are the superhero sign, but even Wonder Woman takes a nap. When you take on too much you end up taking it out on the people who love you. Let yourself breathe, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. Tell people no, tell yourself no when you feel yourself doing a little too much.

Gemini

Adventure + 6 of Swords

Pack your bags Gemini! Seems like this week you’ll be taking a trip somewhere exciting + life changing. If you’re not leaving to go on an adventure, start planning one! When’s the last time you took a real vacation Gemini? You know how to balance work and play, but maybe it’s time to add self retreats into it. Start planning that dream trip of yours! It may just come sooner than you think!

Cancer

Conditioning + 8 of Wands

You’ve always been the one to protect those that you love. Now is the time to do just that. Be that lion in sheeps clothing, and calculate your moves. This week is going to be testing for you, and you can pass it simply because you are you. Protect yourself, protect those you love and protect the life that you built for yourself.

Leo

The Miser + 9 of Swords

Alright Leo, you’ve got some baggage that it’s time to get rid of. Whether it be emotional or physical it’s time to do a deep clean. This week I suggest you make time for whatever it is that keeps you up at night. You’ve got to make some decisions about the truth that you know is right versus the one that you tell people. The day to live your authentic life has arrived, don’t deny your spirit.

Virgo

Projections + 5 of Cups

Virgo be careful of what it is that you put out into this world. You know better than anyone what you’re capable of manifesting for yourself. This week focus on learning from your past mistakes, forgive yourself. Simply because you deserve forgiveness, but you have to be the one to say it. Move forward and don’t let whatever previous versions of yourself hold you back. Don’t sit in stagnant energy, because you know it’s no good for you.

Libra

celebration + The Chariot

It’s time to celebrate yourself Libra! You’ve been doing a good job at sticking to your plans that you’ve made for yourself. You’ve been doing well at whatever goals you’ve set out to do. Just remember that if you fall off the wagon, you don’t have to stay off of it. It’s time you break the habit of giving up on yourself. Be the warrior and cross that finish line in victory.

Scorpio

Receptivity + Ace of Wands

This week is all about trusting yourself and what you know to be true. Allow your intuition to be the source of your decision making this week Scorpio. Use it to make the right decisions for yourself. Remember slow and steady wins the race, don’t rush your process.

Sagittarius

Exhaustion + The Lovers

It’s time to focus on what relationships aren’t serving your spirit any justice. Who you associate with is a reflection of yourself. This also includes your part in relationships as well. Are you being the best partner/friend? Time to do a little soul searching because sometimes all a relationship needs is a check up.

Heal Your Heart Trauma By Recognizing Your Heart Karma

by Kirsten Renee

It's an odd feeling to think about why relationships never work out for yourself. You go through the motions of "self care"; watching rom-coms and pretending as if you don't know why you'll never have a healthy romantic relationship. Listen, I'm the first person to be a hopeless romantic, but still be a shitty partner. I LIVE for Hallmark Christmas movies and I still can't stop watching Pretty Woman ten times a week. However in the same way that I'm a romantic type of bitch, I could be very closed off and wishy washy with potential partners. I've been called a tease by pretty much every person I've involved myself with. I got a kick out of being wanted but never being able to be attainable. However, doing that has caused me to experience what I call "heart karma". You know the phrase "everything you do will always come back to you"? Well it's true, people think that only pertains to being a bad person or doing something wrong. Karmic energy is neither good nor bad, it just is and that's something that most people have yet to understand. I realize it now that my own heart karma has come to hit me in the face with a reality check.

I recently talked to/“dated”/ was interested in a guy that I was into pretty fast, until I realized he embodied every aspect of who I used to be. Distant, closed off, but still intoxicating and it shook me to my core. I was being pulled in by myself to myself, I was dating the person that I was to others and that took me for such a loop that it took me a minute to process it. He's not a bad guy in any way, nor am I bad person for the things that I've done. It's just that sometimes you don't realize that the demons you carry can feed off of the bodies you choose to interact with. Being emotionally detached for a long period of time can be the most draining thing in the world. Karmic energy is just a direct reflection of YOUR actions, and that's a heavy cross to carry once you take the time to acknowledge that. Now that I'm working on getting away from those feelings and allowing my vulnerability to lead me I see how I love differently. I see how I want to be loved differently and that's what growth is all about. Being able to see yourself progress and see how far you've come is sobering.

Allowing myself to be vulnerable and not being afraid of that openness has shifted my heart karma. Facing myself in a way that I have has truly elevated me into a completely different being. Having someone else mirror the exact actions that I had been doing is what did it, and I'm thankful for that lesson. Thankful for the fact that I can easily recognize the patterns that I had carried for so long. Whether we realize it or not, we carry all sorts of trauma with us. Unless we make the CONSCIOUS choice to work through that trauma it'll become exactly who we are, and how we treat ourselves and others.

From an astrological standpoint this moment has been a long time coming in my chart. With Saturn moving into Capricorn, a need to be stable in all areas of my life has become more apparent. However it's not just me that will go through this, every single person on this planet is going to have to face whatever karmic energy they've been putting out. That's the thing about life and recognizing the signs of what's going on in the universe. If you know what to look for, you'll know how to handle it. Saturn is the planet of truth and reality, so of course my disconnect to feelings and personal resentment for them would be thrown back in my face. I asked for this, and truthfully I'm thankful that it happened the way that it did.

2017 was the year of shadow work, it uprooted secrets and lies, it shook foundations that on the outside looked sturdy, it blew through like a tornado on a mission for world destruction. When tornados hit (metaphorically and physically) they leave behind a sense of eerie calmness. It's quiet, it's empty, it's new and scary. . . That's exactly what working with your trauma is like. Working with your shadows is like waking up after a storm has uprooted your life and you now have to figure out your next move.

Be mature in how you approach matters of the heart, here's a tip if you know you've got blockages that are preventing you from evolving fix them. Handle that shit, before the universe just permanently puts you into that place. There's an energy in the air that maybe I'm the only one feeling, but it feels very consistent. It feels like whatever it is that you speak into existence, whatever actions that you do, all of those things are going to be who you are going to become. Be mindful of that type of energy, be mindful of the person that you want to be versus the person that you pretend to be. Because you can very well get stuck in the land of pretend if you're not careful.

Recognize the self destructive patterns that you have attached to yourself, and work on correcting them. If you're like me and you find yourself stuck sometimes on how to move past things in your life here's some of the things that I turn to when I need help at releasing heart trauma and karma.

1. Meditation:

By focusing on the root of your problem and allowing it to come to the light you're allowing yourself to heal. I like to do 15 minute meditations each day (at least I try to!), and during that time I focus on the subconscious feelings of my spirit. When working with your heart focus on your heart beat pattern, let it lull you into a state of awareness. Whatever energy that arises sink into that and watch how you discover new truths about your heart.

2. Journaling

Writing about feelings is a great way to assess them, putting thoughts and energy onto paper or whatever you use can help. Writing can help you look back onto those feelings, and gives you a clearer guideline on what it is that you are experiencing.

3. Etheric Cord Cutting Ritual

There's many ways to do a cord cutting ritual, and that's absolutely okay. Find or create one that speaks the highest to your spirit. It's a pretty simple and easy ritual to do;

- Find a quiet and peaceful space, preferably one where you can be alone!

- Cleanse your area and cast your circle (if you're into that, this isn't just for witches and those who practice)

- Relax your body, focus on breathing deeply and allowing yourself to really fill up your space. I also like to listen to energetic frequencies like this one ! I like to really get into a deep state before casting spells or setting intentions.

- Allow your spirit guides/angels/ ancestors/etc whoever you spiritually work with to come into the now sacred space. Welcome them with open arms and sit with them in prayer and spiritual fellowship.

- Ask them to remove whatever cords that you are connected to that aren't of your highest good. Ask for guidance in releasing that energy and the connection to it, as well as for protection while doing it. I personally like to repeat my spells a specific number of times, it makes me feel comforted.

- After the ritual smudge your space, take a relaxing bath or shower and allow yourself to relax in the vibrations from your ritual.

you can always tweak rituals to your liking and make them your own! Never be afraid to listen to your own intuition for guidance!

4. Therapy

If you know you've got negative habits that are stopping you from growing give therapy a shot. Therapy is so helpful when it comes to having someone help you work through your emotions and thought process. Therapy is also a great way to connect with your emotions on a deeper level, and it can really help you heal if you let it!

Remember, healing isn't over night and working through years of trauma can take years to heal. Remain consistent in your work and know that by working through your old experiences you're making room for new ones.

Happy healing, happy hearts.
