#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.

Leaving Home & Not Looking Back

By Kirsten F.

“I found God in the stars on those long nights, and I found adventure in Walmart parking lots.”

2016 has become the year of change for me, it has become one of the most significant years in my life and it just started. I’ve always been one of those people who never really knew what direction she wanted to go in. “Free spirit” is the phrase most used to describe me and my way of living. The beginning of this year started with my 24th birthday, me packing up my car, and moving across the country to Washington state. Yes, I know that sounds absolutely insane but sometimes life throws you in directions that you never even thought about.

January 30, 2016 became a date that began what I call “The Kirsten spiritual journey”. I packed up my little PT Cruiser and hit the open road with one of my friends. I had never driven further than and hour away and now I was making a trek across most of America. I was terrified, but content with the fact that I was leaving, because I knew it was time for me to get out of my small town. So I said goodbye to my family and friends, and drove 14 hours to Texas where I took my first pit stop on this week long excursion. The thing I remember most about Texas was thinking that I was losing my mind because that state was massive. Honestly everything really is bigger in Texas, and they have no trees. Leaving Texas the following day was when I think my nerves kicked in, I was going to be in my car for three whole days traveling to San Francisco, California.

The second part of my trip was where I was most tested, God really threw life at me just to see if I could handle it. Which I’ll admit at times I didn’t think I could, but I did. I over came hitting tumbleweeds, and dirt storms, I over came a blizzard and driving up rocky mountains in New Mexico. I overcame a panic attack mid driving through a blizzard, because let’s be real… I’m from GA we don’t have real snow. I overcame the fear in the back of my mind trying to tell me that I had made a mistake. That leaving was the worst idea I’ve ever had and that I should turn back now. It was then that I realized my own strength, I realized that the biggest demon in my life was fear and I refused to have a relationship with it any longer. I found happiness and peace during that time as well. Driving on empty roads with the sun shining and my car full of snacks and good tunes. I found myself feeling connected to the desert sky and the dirt covered ground. I found God in the stars on those long nights, and I found adventure in Walmart parking lots. I had never seen windmills, ranches, the rocky’s or even an In ‘N’ Out in real life before. I got excited seeing a prairie dog run around behind a QuickTrip in Arizona, and screamed when I saw the sign pointing to L.A. blasting Mayday Parade’s “Jamie All Over” as I headed to my new life.

Nothing prepared me for California, the state that I had longed to see and be apart of. Driving through the valley and eating my first In ‘N’ Out burger (animal style of course). Seeing L.A. at night, and crying because I finally saw something on my bucket list. We slept in a hospital ER parking lot and almost died because of the food we ate. We left San Bernardino and hit the road to San Francisco at 2AM. I drove past forest fires, and could barely breathe due to high altitude of those Californian roads. We made pit stops at gas stations and took pictures of the sun rising over the vineyards. I played my music loud and my windows rolled down tossing out sunflower seeds and crumbs that fell on my lap. I didn’t know then that I was also heading on my way to be tested again. I’m terrified of bridges over water, I’ve had an irrational fear of falling to my death since I was a kid. However, that’s exactly what I drove over in SF, The Bay Bridge looked intimidating, but something in me knew that I had to conquer that fear. It was when I was half way over it, that I realized that the ONLY way to get over your fears is to do them. I wandered the streets of San Francisco with my friends and ate pizza that tasted like it came straight from heaven. I shopped and laughed, I realized that I had in fact just driven from coast to coast and I had never felt more alive.

It really didn’t hit me that I was actually gone until I made it to Washington. We left San Francisco and headed north, we drove through mountains and valleys, we drove over lakes and stopped to get gas at a station in Oregon with a man who wore all cameo and laughed when I didn’t know that in Oregon you don’t pump your own gas. We ate our weight in snacks, and those 11 hours from California to Washington seemed like a breeze compared to the three days we spent traveling from Texas to California. Moving to Washington has done more for me than Georgia ever did in my 24 years on this planet. I found myself in this small community, I found God in the mountain outside of my new bedroom window, and I found out that I am more than what I thought I once was. I left the old me in Georgia, the scared, confused, lonely version of myself. She had to stay behind because who I am now is so much better. I lost my head in San Francisco, I found myself in the desert and I became who I am supposed to be in Washington.

“I played my music loud and my windows rolled down tossing out sunflower seeds and crumbs that fell on my lap.”

Nothing can compare to knowing who you are, and becoming who you are meant to be. My advice to you is this, you don’t have to leave home if you don’t want to. Nor do you have to travel far to find who you are. All you have to do is know yourself and know that what you’re destined for is nothing short of greatness.
