Let May Guide You Into The Next Phase of Your Life! #MGTarotscope

Spring has taken its time to arrive this year, and there's a reason for that. It's about time we all stop rushing the process, Mother Nature teaches us all sorts of lessons. We just have to be honest enough to see what's right in our faces. Trusting your process and recognizing patterns is essential to growth. If you can't see your own truth, how do you expect the universe to see you? You want to manifest that dream life of yours? Do the work, show the universe that you're not here to fuck around. You don't become a success overnight, and even if you do you still have to know how to trust your process.
If you're constantly torn between trusting yourself and asking for others opinions, you need to reevaluate some things. Listen to your intuition because it knows best, you know what you need. It's time to stop denying yourself what it is that you deserve, because you are the key to your success. You're the only one that can determine if you're going to make it or not. The true tea on adulthood is that to survive it you have to live it. You have to know your limits, know your strengths, and TRUST that you're not going to let yourself down.
Let May be the month where you truly start blooming into who you are meant to be. Blooming season is taking her time, because you need to learn how to slow your roll. Just like the plants, we grow best when we are in the dark, still, and patient. Just like we tell younger generations to "stay kids forever." We must also tell ourselves to stay in this moment, and not hurry. For cutting corners gets you nowhere, except for confused.
Enjoy May's Tarotscope and I'll see you in July!
*Using The Illuminated Tarot Deck*
Taurus
The Hierophant + 3 of Cups
It's your time to shine Taurus, with the sun beaming in your sign it's time for you to bring out the party supplies! You may be a homebody 97% of the time, but nothing brings you more joy than having the people you love around you. Celebrate your life for once instead of worrying about future shenanigans that may or may not happen. Let yourself enjoy the fruits of all the hard work you always put in. This month call your friends more, if you want to get out of that head of yours .. start by getting out of the house! Take a music class, or grab a coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while. You don't have to suffer Taurus, you can be your best ally if you allow yourself to be. Don't let your worries of the world stop you from putting your best foot forward.
Gemini
3 of Pentacles (Reversed) + 4 of Cups
Oh Gemini, your mouth often gets you into trouble and I was we creep our way into Gemini season you get more reckless! Think before you talk to the people you interact with, because not everyone can handle the delivery. Also now is a good time to listen to what people say to you, if you're doubting certain relationships now is the time to ask yourself why you pay them any mind. If there's a lot of hear say, address it and move on. No need to sit in stagnant energy and collect karmic debt. Move forward and focus on whatever goals you've created for yourself. Sometimes the company that you keep are the ones who hold you back.
Cancer
Jack of Cups + The Hierophant (Reversed)
It's time to make a power move Cancer, are you ready? The chance for you to really prove to the world that ya mama didn't raise a bitch is here. You've got to make sure that whatever tools you need you've got and that you're crossing your T's and dotting your I's. If you know you've got some loose ends to tie up with people, do so now. Be honest in how you feel about people's place in your life. You tend to hold on to relationships because you love a project, however people aren't projects... They're people, just like you. Remember that when going into new situations and meeting new individuals.
Leo
6 of Pentacles + 6 of Swords
Big dreamer and even bigger wanderer, Leo you can make magick happen with the twinkle of your nose. You know that, yet you still hold back...Why? What is is that is keeping you from putting all of your eggs into one basket? You know that you're the shit, and you know that no one can do something like you can. You've got the plan done, now you just need to put your big kid britches on and make it happen. If you're afraid, let that fear propel you into the greatness that comes with following your dreams. It's time to really put your best foot forward, and focus on yourself. Who better to lean on than the most reliable person you know? Yourself. You're a force to be reckoned with, don't forget that.
Virgo
The Devil + The Tower (Reversed)
What you reap you will sow Virgo, and that's something that you especially have to keep in mind. You can easily slip into the habit of playing the devil minus the advocate. It's time for you to see the results of the energy you've been putting out. It's also a good time to start healing the parts of yourself that you've been holding deep beneath your surface. This month focus on your mental health, focus on the mechanics of yourself. Everybody needs a tune up every now and then. Your good a being focused on other things, but let your spirit be one of them. You don't always have to cater to your demons.
Libra
10 of Pentacles + Judgement (Reversed)
Oh Libra, the truth will set you free if you let it. At what point are you going to stop pretending that people don't see the real you? The truth about your life is front page news and now it's time for you to either keep lying or to finally speak your truth. The only person judging you is you, no one else is bothered by you speaking up. The longer you hide, you put yourself at risk of danger. Danger by way of not taking care of your mental health, physical health, spiritual and emotional health. It's way past time for you to be responsible for your own shit. Don't pretend to be something that you're not, just because you tend to be flighty doesn't mean that people don't see through you.
Scorpio
Queen of Wands + The Chariot (Reversed)
As the masters of rebirth and death, you've got your own special artform when it comes to moving on. Right now it's time for to put some things into perspective, and really get focused on what it is that you put on your summer vision board. You've got a special relationship with the spirit world, and the message is loud and clear. Let them guide you into this next phase, let go of the reigns and just enjoy the ride. Trust in your own magick and know that everything you create is destined to be great. Transformations take time, and you've got nothing but time to make it happen.
Sagittarius
Temperance (Reversed) + Jack of Swords
You've always been cautious sagittarius, but now isn't the time for your timid approach to life. It's time for you to get into the swing of taking care of yourself. If you've been feeling poorly, it's time to fix that. The best way to heal is to heal the mind, body and soul as a collective. Do the work that it takes to get your health in order, and to help you find balance in this life. Be aware of how you're reflecting energy. If something is bothering you it'll show, and The Universe will bother you until you change it up. You've got potential, you're just to shy to go and greet it. Don't be afraid of yourself, because you're a good person.
Capricorn
5 of Cups (Reversed) + Ace of Swords (Reversed)
It's time for you to focus on what really matters Capricorn, you're the hardest working sign and you know it. However, there are times where you get distracted by the world around you, time to get back to work your break is over. Know that it is time to move forward with whatever business you have planned, and you better be prepared. This idea that you've held onto and nurtured is ready to run wild. How you manage your time now is going to determine how well and how fast your idea manifests.
Aquarius
The Sun + 9 of Swords (Reversed)
No sense in trying to pretend that you keep human hours Aquarius. You tend to be able to survive on your own clock and that's perfectly fine. However, if you're having restless nights try working on that project you keep putting off. Your internal idea bulb is constantly going off, and if you're not careful you'll put on more than you can handle. Invest in a planner Aquarius, even if you don't keep normal hours make sure the schedule that you do have is organized. Life doesn't have to be so chaotic, nor does it always have to feel heavy and emotional. You can flip the way your life flows by actually working with yourself instead of against yourself. Keep a notepad by your bed so that when you start having these dreams you'll remember them!
Pisces
The Sun + 8 of Pentacles
Keep stacking up the checks Pisces, you work hard for everything that you have and you should reward yourself. Things may be a little hard right now and you're probably drowning underneath the pressure. All you need to do is stand up, and take a step back onto shore. Allow yourself time to be alone, you need time for your own thoughts. You don't owe anyone or anything your time and you need to set your boundaries before you go off further down the stream. You're the only one who can say what it is you will and won't tolerate. Now's the time to speak up before you explode and hinder all of the hard work you've done for yourself.
Aries
Jack of Cups + Ace of Cups (Reversed)
Whatever you're holding in let it out, there's no sense of stewing over pent up resentment. You're only hurting yourself, because whoever/whatever you're holding a grudge against doesn't care. You can be the most stubborn when it comes to letting go of self sabotaging behavior. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean that you should. Besides your constant need to take subliminal shots at people is what's going to make whatever confrontation coming your way explosive. Defuse the situation between you and whatever has got you worked up, because the less drama you have the better off you'll be.
Blessed be.
A Conversation W/ Tarot: Blooming Full Moon in Virgo Energy.
Get jiggy with the Full Moon in Virgo.

2018 is kicking off to be a wild ride and I'm all the way here for it! We started January with a brand new trip around the sun and TWO full moons, and a lunar eclipse. We got a bit of a chill break in February where the moon wasn't full. However March is bringing in that electric touch that we've been waiting for. March is leading us to the nurting and gentle side of living. As the Earth awakens from her nap. we recieve fresh and vibrant energy. Building a relationship with Mother Nature is so important, she nurtures our entire being, and we can find the answers through her actions.
Question: Where am I unstable in my life?
Card: The Tower (Reversed)
To get to know Mother Nature start by sitting outside in the grass, let the air and the earth beneath you soak into you. Hold a Selenite wand against your heart, and focus your breathing. By doing this you're allowing yourself to set the space for your conversation with Mother Nature. It can be confusing once you open that door, and if you summon Mother Earth you should definitely come ready for extreme truth and guidance. If you're feeling nervous talk about the reasons why you feel that way. Something in you is afraid to talk about the truth. If you're feeling ready for the next step in your rebirth, or you're experiencing your rebirth remember to remain patient! Progress is patient, because you must learn to enjoy and grow with the experience. Growth comes in many ways, and when you truly sit with your personal life experience you notice each blessing and lesson individually.
What's blocking me from myself?
Card: Queen of Pentacles
If you're worrying about all the things that you don't have you'll never have them sweets. You get what you give, and if you're constantly focusing on what you lack, you can't learn what to do with what you already have! Finding your balance within yourself is a MUST, because you need to know how your shadow and light coexist with one another. To live a "holy" life, one must be whole with life. Find your balance, and you'll unlock the door to your source. Connecting to source energy is the way to get what you desire in this lifetime. Grow through spirit , check how you're definfing the mirror effect for yourself. Because you know what they say, "you're your own worst enemy". You're also your own best spades partner, no one knows your instinct like you do.
Am I living a healthy life?
Card: 3 of Cups
Health is WEALTH friends, and if your body is talking to you it's time to LISTEN. When it comes to personal health whether that be physical, mental, sexual, etc we've got to make sure we are healed and okay. Be mindful of the food that you put into your body, if you know your blood type try eating foods that are good for your blood type! Drink WATER, I can't stress this enough to make sure you gulp down water throughout the day! Go for walks, or sign up for a fun class to take! Spring time is a time for physical harvest, let yourself enjoy this time. Spring brings rebirth and as products of the universe we are blessed with being directly connected to this energy. Shake off your cobwebs and get it shaking, because the creative energy you're sitting on is waiting to be turned into a massive manifestation. Heal your body, mind, and spirit during this full moon. Be patient with your self and your energy.
What message does The Full Moon in Virgo have for me?
Card: Jack of Pentacles
It's time to start filling up your calander, turn the left over stagnant energy from winter into momentum for your creative endeavors. Get organized and start prepping yourself for some heavy spring cleaning! Cleaning your home, work space, bedroom, magick space, etc is the perfect way to bring in the changing of the seasons. Working with Mother Nature and her cycles is a great way to boost your magick. Being synced to the moon during menstraution, to casting particular spells on certain days you will find that your magick has grown. Mother Nature has power that we can easily access if we just let ourselves do so. Get organized within your life, and your practice because once you clear the clutter in your mind and your physical space. You allow new blessings and lessons to come into your life.
What does my intuition say?
Card: 5 of Swords
Summertime is a time for BBQ's and a card game being played by your aunties and uncles. However this Full Moon is reminding you that when it comes to the game of life, you're your best partner. If you think life is throwing hints your way, step back and see the bigger picture. These aren't hints, their full blown messages and you should be listening! Your intuition is NEVER wrong, and you'll never lead yourself down a path you don't need to. However, if you're in a period of repetition and self doubt, it's time for you to get grounded and replenish your energy. Sober yourself up, and detox your mind, body, and spirit.
What lies ahead for me in March?
Card: 9 of Swords
If your dreams are keeping you awake at night, or your day dreams have stopped you from being productive use this month to turn that energy around. If you can't sleep at night because of your goals and aspirations instead of laying there... Work on them! By organizing your life, you'll find that when you make time for things you care about you don't seem to worry as much. Putting energy into things that don't serve your highest good, is going against yourself. Try sleeping with Lavender, Mugwort, Eucalyptus and amethyst underneath or inside of your pillow! Taking time before bed to center yourself and relax your body so that it may find the ultimate comfort. I like to think of sleeping as an adventure in the spirit library. Learn how to work with your dreams by keeping a dream journal and dream dictionary next to your bedside! There's always messages within our dreams, and decoding them can clear up a lot of mental fog.
*Note* If you're having trouble sleeping you should also go see your doctor/Healer!
This Full Moon in Virgo is all about enjoying the rebirthing process, and seeing the truth of what you manifest for yourself! It's also a great time to declutter your life and make space for new vibrant energy!
Blessed be!

#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.
Full Moon Reading || 03. 13. 17

Happy Full Moon pals! This is the full moon right before Spring Equinox comes into play, and I've been feeling the effects since last week! This full moon kicked off in Virgo and made it's way into Libra. As an air sign, I always feel very light when the moon is in one of us. However, Virgo was so good to me, with finishing last details before kicking off some exciting adventures. Full Moon's are for self assessment, where are you at on your journey? What are you doing to aid your purpose? Have you taken time out to tend to your spirits needs?
What message do the cards have for you this week?
Fire
Clinging To The Past
Photo Credit Google
Continue on your journey of healing , and self discovery. Let go of your past fears and let yourself enter the phase that has been knocking at your door. Don't hesitate in making your decisions, now is the time to really listen to that voice that you've been ignoring. Treating yourself by taking care of yourself is what's important right now. Dive back into the things that you find joy in or try something new. Try taking a pottery class, or a dance class! No matter what just put some self love into your daily routines.
Water
The Source
Photo Credit Google
This card keeps making its appearance because The Source is spiritual and infinite energy. It is what feeds your soul and carries through you. Get to know your source, get to know you from the soul out. Just remember to take note that if you're vibing on lower frequencies and allowing outside forces to interfere you're not allowing your source to do its job. Now is the time to truly put your armor on and protect what's yours. You're the water, you can pick and choose what vibes you want on your current. Maybe it's time to lighten your load and remove the things that you haven't needed in a very long time.
Earth
Harmony & Friendliness
Photo Credit Google
Treat yourself as well as you treat others, that's something you can forget often. As loving as you are Earth sign, sometimes it's nice to treat yourself too! These two cards suggest that when you put yourself as your main focus harmony will follow. It's kind of like this . . . Listening to yourself is living in a higher state & is good for the wellbeing of your purpose. Living a well balanced life is only true when all of ourself is in sync. Find comfort within yourself and allow your heart to guide you. Try wearing a Rose Quartz , or sleeping with one in or next to your bed. Burning or spraying your space with Frankincense is another aid to clearing out your space and making it comfortable. Visit your local botanica or metaphysical shop to pick some up this week! A clean space is a happy spirit!
Air
We Are The World
Create your wildest dreams, because what you manifest now will shape your future in every way. Spring Equinox is approaching next week, and it's the day where the Sun comes to us in Aries after relaxing all Winter long. It's also the Astrological New Year, and with all of these new beginnings what is yours? The flowers are getting ready to bloom, and the Earth comes to life once again. Don't forget that you are a flower too, you know what to do because it's who you are. Trust that you're protected, because Air sign you are insanely protected by the divine. Follow your instinct and create the world that you've been too scared to live in.
Tarot Cards Are a Girl's Best Friend.

I've had an interest in tarot reading since the first time I heard Miss Cleo's "Call me now!" on late night infomercials. It was like this itch that I could never scratch, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Growing up in an Adventist household things like horoscopes, tarot reading and witchcraft weren't gonna fly. I always felt like I had this massive secret as a kid, how I would secretly day dream about having magical powers, and creating my own world. Reading Sabrina The Teenage Witch comics and thinking how I wanted to do what she did. Watching Practical Magic, Kiki's Delivery Service and The Craft like they were the only movies that mattered. Being a witch was always the most exciting thing to me. How you can use the Earth as a part of a spell. How you just know what to do, and trust that it'll go the way it's meant to. My teenaged years were filled with writing spells, reading The Drama High series, and sneaking on every horoscope site I could find. I also found myself weirdly drawn to a tarot reading fortune telling game on The-N.com.
(tbh they need to bring that site back)
I would ask it the most random questions, but somehow every time I got the answer I was looking for. I didn't know it then, but my intuition has always been very, very clear and strong. The day I purchased my very first deck it felt like I had finally plugged into a piece of me. Reading tarot cards have become a way of life for me, and sometimes for my friends as well. I find myself always giving readings when someone needs a little advice. Let me tell you this though, I can't read the future. I don't know what's going to happen in your life nor do I pretend to know.
The cards also don't know, however they present their message when it's needed. What they can tell you is what you need to hear in that moment, or what you already know. The magick behind the Tarot is listening, and being receptive to the message being presented to you. There's so many ways for a person to get into interpreting the tarot, and its many decks. I personally use The Osho Zen Tarot deck, and I've discovered that I like it more than the traditional (like the Rider - Waite) tarot cards. Choose whatever cards speak to you the most, because that's the most important thing when you're purchasing a deck.
Also, I'm not going to lie doing your first spread is a bit confusing sometimes. I found myself looking into other people's spreads for a bit of extra guidance. Which is okay, learn your craft! Whether you're being taught by someone or self teaching you can always find "study guides"! Creating your own spreads is also a great way to learn, allow your hands to create a space for you. Trust in your body, and know that whatever you're creating is coming to life for a reason.
Try pulling a card each day to get familiar with your deck, not only is that a good way to start recognizing what cards are present, but there's nothing like starting your day off with a good affirmation. There's so many different ways you can start reading tarot cards, and there's so much information about them online. That's the cool thing about being a mystical/spiritual/witch etc these days. We have access to so many different ways to create our magick.
Here's a few of my favorite spreads to get you started!
1. The Self - Esteem Tarot by The Hoodwitch

I've used a few of the spreadsthat Bri (The Hoodwitch) has suggested and created, and let me tell you she never disappoints. Check out how to read this self love spread HERE !
2. Universal 6 Card Spread by Lotus Tarot

I've been using this online spread for a few years now, I have always personally felt extremely connected to this spread for a number of reasons. No matter what your preference is, remember that your intuition is the leading factor. . . LISTEN! Check out this reading on Lotus Flower .
3. The 3 Paged Letter by K.R.

This is a spread that I created myself, I use it when I do quick readings for people! This spread is fairly simple to follow, from left to right;
1. A letter from your spirit guides.
2. A letter from your subconscious.
3. A letter from me to you.
I call them letters because they are messages being brought into your life & I (or you!) get to help deliver them. You can tweak this spread to whatever you need to. As always, magick is what you make of it so make it count! You can find more of my spreads on my Instagram and Snapchat!
