Letting Go and Moving on || October '18 Tarotscopes
by Kirsten Renee
The world is slowing down, we feel the effects that Fall brings in strong. When the leaves fall so do our walls, our need to not be true to ourselves disappears. October is the month where the line that separates light and dark disappears into the abyss. I’ve been thinking a lot about Death and the 4 of Wands, how transcending is what life is. We move ourselves through time and space, creating lives for ourselves. Recognizing that whether our lives be good or unfortunate is up to us. Leaving things behind isn’t a bad, you’re supposed to move through life shifting and moving through different phases.
The pathway that YOU choose is entirely based upon the decisions that YOU make for yourself. If shit hasn’t been working out for you it’s time to switch up things. Sturdy foundations start with knowing what we want and taking the time to make it happen. Living within your purpose can go a long way. The thing to remember is that you will stumble, you’ll backtrack, you will face obstacles and sometimes shit sucks. If what you want is worth anything to you, you’ll realize that all of those moments help you learn what to do in the next step. Every day, every moment is different and wonderful in its own way. How magickal is that? To know that each day when you wake up, something will be different.
When people think of October, they think of one thing in particular; death. It may be used as a fear tactic for Halloween decorations. However death itself is a lot broader than what most slasher films have you believing. The ideal that death is this scary and unfortunate thing isn’t true at all. Death is just another transition that is inevitable, like life it just happens. We experience deaths more frequent than we believe, it surrounds us like the light drizzle on a rainy day. We watch the leaves fall every season, we drive by the roadkill on dark roads, we throw things away… Everything has cycles and all cycles come to an end. That also goes for the phases of your life, eventually you leave behind childish ideas and turn them into something new. Sometimes people get so afraid of what’s next that they prolong the ending of something.
It’s okay to let go and move forward, it is okay to be afraid and to not be. You get to make that choice, but make sure that the choice you make isn’t out of fear. When you make choices out of fear, you’re not honoring what it is that you really need. Be sure and truthful about why you move the way that you do.
Libra
5 of Swords + The Tower
Happy birthday Libra! The sun has settled nicely into your sign and we all get to celebrate you! This month you feel on fire, which for a floaty air sign like yourself can feel overwhelming. Now isn’t the time to shy away from being seen Libra, you like to be around people so don’t deny yourself that freedom. Enjoy this month and remember why you work so hard to have the things that you do. You have the need to always search for balance, when in fact if you would just learn how to exist within yourself you would find just that. It’s perfectly okay to play around and gamble small things, but when you find yourself losing control and stuffing yourself with useless things. It may be time to sit back and ask yourself why you feel the need to hoard so much stuff that you don’t need.
Whether you’re an emotional hoarder, a physical one or somewhere in between now is the perfect time to stop holding onto so much and do some much needed fall cleaning. If you’re REALLY ready to go to that next step in your life, you’ve got to acknowledge whatever you already have going on. Life can be fun, but you have to accept what comes when you’re having a little too much fun.
Scorpio
The Lovers (Reversed) + Ace of Swords
Tis the season for Scorpios to unleash themselves onto us all. Venus Retrograde is happening right now in the sultry sign of Scorpio and The Sun will shift its way into Scorpio on October 23rd. If you find yourself willingly taking to someone, let it happen boo. You deserve to have a whirlwind romance with someone that actually gets you, especially if that someone is you! Dive deep into the world of feelings and allow yours to be heard and felt. Now I don’t mean go blowing up at everyone around you. Take this time to explore your boundaries and what it is that you can and can’t take.
Scorpio’s have been known to be kinky little things and maybe that’s something that you should really dive deep into. What do your inhibitions look like? Have you been letting your mind drift off to darker, more closed spaces? Do yourself a favor and test out the waters, forge ahead with an honest and open curiosity. Who knows you may find yourself locked into something new that opens you up like never before. As always, be cautious though because everything that is alluring isn’t always real.
Sagittarius
Ace of Swords + 10 of Pentacles (Reversed)
It’s time to get your life in order Sag and I say that in the nicest way possible. You’re often the caretaker of everyone around you, but now it’s time to take care of yourself. Don’t stretch yourself so thin that you can’t somehow come back from it all. Don’t fret though, this intense wave of uncertainty will pass if you let it flow naturally. Do not force your feelings to be anything other than what they are, but be mindful of who you unload those feelings on. It can be easy to get wrapped up in your own world Sagittarius and you’ve been known to do that. Just be mindful that everyone around you is going through moments of their own and that’s okay too.
It’s hard to not be self centered right now and you can be that if that’s what you wish to do. The thing with you sometimes is that it can be hard to express yourself to anyone other than your own ears. There are people who care for you and if you let them take care of you, what you’re going through won’t be so challenging. Be smart about how you express yourself these days, going to the extreme will likely cause more damage than it should.
Capricorn
Jack of Cups + 5 of Swords
You never take chances on anything that you’re unsure about Cap and that’s smart sometimes. At some point you’ve got to learn that certain risks can turn into the most mind blowing adventures. You may like to be rooted, but even plants get repotted when they’ve outgrown their space. You’ve outgrown your surrounding and it’s time to face that fact head on. You’re so used to being the provider for everyone, whether that be emotionally, financially or in any other way. Your time to move forward is now don’t allow yourself to get stuck in the same rotation. Like a card game, you have to think smart about what you want and you do. However you tend to forget that when someone else throws out their hand. Your main focus should be on yourself and how you need to make moves specifically for YOUR journey.
Break free of whatever restrictions that have been placed on you. If you feel yourself getting ready to spill over from being overworked, speak up before you blow up. There’s nothing people hate more than someone not being honest about being pushed past their limits. It’s like in BDSM relationships, you’ve got to say your safeword when shit is getting to be too much. Don’t ever be afraid to be firm about saying no and not letting anyone persuade you into changing your mind. You’ve got to set hard limits sometimes, so that you’re able to focus on yourself instead of everyone else around you.
Aquarius
5 of Cups (Reversed) + The Empress
As long as you have been alive, it’s been easy for you to recall previous versions of yourself. It’s not on purpose, you’re just often nostalgic about moments in your life that you deem monumental. Reminiscing isn’t bad, you often recognize certain life patterns when you do. However, when you’re allowing those old versions of yourself to dictate who you are now is when problems come in. You’re not who you once were, it’s absolutely okay to move on and heal. If you would just give yourself a chance you might notice how easy it is for you to maneuver through life. At some point you’ve got to make the choice to say “I’m different and I heal all open wounds with light and love”.
Be gentle with yourself, you deserve the openness of being vulnerable and the softness of unconditional love. The simple fact that you are you means that you can be whatever you choose to. It’s time to focus on nurturing your soul and allowing yourself to be vulnerable with the world around you. You tend to be the one person who no one can ever figure out and as fun as being mysterious can be, there comes a point when deeper connections need to be made. How can anyone get to know your truest self if you’re constantly avoiding letting others be near you. Obviously not everyone needs to know your deepest feelings, but there are some people who are willing to do it. It takes a brave person to willingly dive deep into someone else’s heart and love them through it all. You’re walking into something that you deserve, Aquarius. Don’t fuck it up, by not letting yourself heal and grow.
Pisces
The World + 3 of Wands
Sweet Pisces, your problem is that you keep looking at the world you live in through rose colored glasses. Why in the world would the universe be tempted to aide you when you constantly speak of it as if it won’t. When you sound ungrateful for the life you have, you tend to struggle getting to the next step. Pisces, you may be a fish but even sometimes it’s nice to peak out above the water and feel the sun. The world you’ve created for yourself can always be changed, you just have to will it and work for it. You’re not as lost as you may seem to think, maybe it’s time for you to look at your life from a new point of view.
You’re destined to be successful, it’s literally who you are to find the flow of life. However, if you’re constantly doubting your abilities, you’re not going to get anywhere. If you don’t believe you can do something why should anyone else? You’re more than capable of making something out of nothing, and right now is the PERFECT time to do just that. Plan out what it is that you need Pisces, it’s time to get organized about moving forward. You may be water sign, but you often forget that every current has a purpose. Even when you think you’re going nowhere there’s always a plan bigger than yourself that says otherwise. Trust in the unknown and you’ll easily find the answers that you seek.
Aries
The Star + Queen of Swords
Whatever choices you make right now Aries are going to have long lasting consequences. You’re the only person who knows just exactly how you are and how you want to be perceived. Be thoughtful about what comes out of your mouth this month, you could shake some real shit down if you allow your anger and resentment to build up. If you’re feeling some type of way, approach it with vulnerability instead of defensiveness. You’d do well with listening before reacting and allowing yourself to really be heard instead of felt.
You may the first sign of the zodiac, but you’re not the shining star. Yes you’re talented and yes you are probably a genius when it comes to creating. However, it’s time for you to realize that though you shine bright you aren’t allowed to dim others because of how bright you are. When it comes to communicating there’s no need to one -up anyone, especially your loved ones. The sky would be lackluster with just one lone star, remember that the next time you find yourself not wanting to be a team player.
Taurus
The Hermit + 3 of Pentacles
It’s not uncommon for your loved ones to be concerned about your well being and you know that. Right now you’re experiencing the growing pains of life and you don’t need to deal with it by yourself. You’ve got nothing but love that surrounds you Taurus, utilize that extra heart power and push through to new heights. The Hermit may be a card of self realization, but it can also be a warning to not get so into your doubts that you lose sight. You’re used to routine, so when things don’t go as planned you can become agitated or even depressed. Learn to let loose and be as bold as you can Taurus, because once you relax a little… Magick can be made.
The holidays are rolling in and now is the perfect time for you to remember what’s important, family and friends! The next few months are full of fellowship and a desire to be closer to home than normal. Tend to your manternal needs and make your space cozy and inviting. The company you keep around you should reflect the love that you have for yourself. If someone or something makes you feel less than what you are, it’s time to move forward without them. You may be the popular friend, but it is not your responsibility to please everyone when they demand it.
Gemini
10 of Wands + 6 of Pentacles
The moment you decided that you no longer would accept the bullshit that people brought your way was the exact moment when life changed for you. Your problem is letting things go and being okay with your decision. You may have moved on physically, but emotionally you’re still stuck on hurst from ghosts past. At some point you’re going to have to make the choice to break up with the ghosts that people have left you with. You’re absolutely able to be vulnerable Gemini and for once you can’t turn away from that. You’re used to moving on fast , but maybe it’s time for you to come to terms with what happens when you don’t process.
If you grew up in the south or with a mama who likes to decorate, then you know what it’s like to change your table settings with the seasons. Your table is covered in clutter and mail that you forgot about, it’s time to get your life in order! Clear off the discarded clothing, papers, boxes, etc you’ve got so much baggage that needs to be dealt with. In order for you to make space for gathering you need to tend to the mess you’ve left behind. Life doesn’t always need to be rushed or barreled through like a mad person. It’s fine to take your time, you should really take your time now more than ever.
Cancer
3 of Wands (Reversed) + 7 of Wands
The struggle in your life right now is that you won’t make a choice Cancer. You’re looking every other way except for the path that you KNOW is right. You’ve been given test after test and you’ve overcome a lot of things in your lifetime. Your problem however, is the fact that you refuse to deal with anything that actually matters. You’re quick to jump into other people’s lives, instead of focusing on the fact that yours needs to be tended to. You are more than capable of being strong and voicing your opinion, but at what point are you going to do that? How many times do you have to be kicked down in order to fight back?
There’s no need to struggle like a fish out of water, if you're feeling out of place then get back to where you need to be. Some fights aren’t worth a reaction and some issues aren’t actually bad, just a lesson. You’re more than capable of taking care of what needs to be done, you’re organized like that and that skill will take you far. Cancer, you’ve got something going on now that is either going to break you in half or lift you to new heights. What choice are you going to make for yourself, especially when your life depends on it.
Leo
The Wheel of Fortune + Jack of Pentacles
Sometimes you do things without thinking, you can become hyper focused on situations (i.e. relationships, job opportunities, home life) and it’s time to get back to reality. You can’t manipulate life to be what you want it to be and that’s hard for a charmer like you Leo. You may have been able to use your charm and wit to get ahead , but at some point you’ve got to face the facts. Your good moments come from your hard work, not how well you can warp a situation to your liking. Your ego has been known to lead you Leo and as fun as a egotistical trip can be, it isn’t honest.
When you find yourself wanting to people to conform to your standards you’re purposely ignoring who and what that person actually is. Now is the time for you to drop the checklist and start facing the truth in a way that you never have before. It’s time you move forward without expecting things to he what you want them to be, let life happen organically and you might be less disappointed. It’s up to you too see things for what they are, how can you expect people to be real with you if you won’t let them?
Virgo
The World + Queen of Swords
You’re the best person to create something invigorating and practical, however you also tend to put yourself in box. There’s no need to hide those ideas of yours, now is not the time to be afraid, but to embrace your brilliance. Contrary to popular belief your knack for self sabotage stems from trying and not getting any results. Don’t stop trying Virgo, the universe hears hears you it just wants to see you do some actual work. Just because you talk about it doesn’t mean that you’re putting in hard work behind it.
You’re used to people doing things for you, well now it’s time for you to shit for yourself. The only person that can hold yourself accountable is you and you know that. Stop treating yourself like a burden and maybe you’ll see just how not out of the race you actually are. Your support will rally behind you if you give them something to support, stop pushing people away just because you can’t grasp your greatness. It’s time for you to move forward and recognize your potential. Growth comes when you recognize that you’re often your own worst enemy.
Blessed be!

Boss Up or Shut Up. || September 18' Tarotscope's
Your ego can break or make you, it can also be a great ally when making important life changes. Are you stuck in a relationship that you're no longer happy in?
by Kirsten Renee
You're probably sick of me telling you to trust yourself and stop worrying so much. Get mad, I don't care because it's true! The very core of your sense of self-knows what it wants, even if you don't believe it. September may be the beginning of Harvest season, but it's also calling on you to get some actual work done. If you've been sitting on a million dollar idea now is the time for you to turn it into something real. If you're not realizing your potential then how the fuck do you expect the universe to? Complaining about not being where you want and actually taking steps to do that aren't even on the same spectrum. You think you're hot shit? Okay, that's fine but what are you doing in your life that's worth something?
Your ego can break or make you, it can also be a great ally when making important life changes. Are you stuck in a relationship that you're no longer happy in? Is your job burning you out? Is adulthood making you feel less successful and more lost? All of those feelings can be healed if you'd just take the moment to check on your ego. You want out of a situation, walk away nothing is holding you back EXCEPT your lack of courage. Strength comes from knowing your worth and knowing what is/isn't acceptable in your life. The best thing about being human is that we have free will. You can start over, stop, repeat, delete as many things from your life as you want.
"The gag is", is that the only person stopping you from success is you. As a reader, I have client's that always hit me with "I swear The Universe is out to get me." No, you're out to get you The Universe is just doing its job and that's to maintain balance and give you exactly what you've asked for. Do you want a better job? Apply to new ones and touch up your resume while you're at it! Want to write a novel? grab your computer, notebook, whatever and start writing. Here's the thing about manifesting, you've got to put in work WHILE asking Goddess to guide you to the right place.
You don't have to be stuck in a cycle if you don't want to be. Checking your ego and your own views of your life can help you better understand the lesson within the madness. Your sense of self-importance could be doing one of two things; holding you back because you're sitting in low energy or causing you to stress because you don't know how to stop. You can't be everything and once you recognize just what you are supposed to be. You and your ego will find common ground.
There's no need to sulk anymore pal, you can make it through anything as long as you remain humble and put time into what it is that you love. September is meant to celebrate our accomplishments of all the things that we've harvested. What does your harvest look like this year? Is it a reflection of your hard work and plentiful or is it empty?
Goddess has a lot to tell us this month, so take notes!
Virgo || 8/23-9/22
The Fool and The Sun
It's your season independent Virgo! The sun has settled into your sign quite nicely and has given everyone the much-needed break from ego-driven Leo. Everything seems to be pretty good for you Virgo or at least that's what you keep telling yourself. It's no secret that Y'all can be a bit thick headed when it comes to facing reality. You may see yourself one way, while others see you as someone completely different. It's time to focus on how you cultivate the relationships around you? When is the last time you paid attention to someone other than who's in front of your face at that moment? You always know what you want and how you want it, but sometimes in this life, you've got to learn that you can't fix everything.
Are you helping others or are you actually blocking their karma? Take care of the people that you love, but remember that you can't save anyone especially if you can't recognize when you need to sit down and let The Universe work. This month focus on what you need to do for yourself because you often forget that you need a little loving too. Focus on expanding your interests and maybe that blockage that's been there for the past six months will slowly start to break down.
Libra || 9/23-10/22
8 of Pentacles and The Hermit
For some reason Libra you can't seem to ever get out of your own head. You're a smart little cookie by nature, you can escape from anything even if you started it. However, now it seems that everything you thought you put off is coming back for you. It's time you take a look at your life and the spaces that you occupy. On paper, you're very well put together but internally ... Sis, you're a hot ass mess. Goddess has been trying to reach you and as usual, you ignore every sign because it didn't look like what you wanted it to.
My sweet air sign, come down out of the clouds and really take a good hard look at what's going on around you. Everyone has problems, but the difference between you and them is that you tend to overlook yours. The Hermit suggests you take some serious time to work on your self-improvement and really get a grip on reality. Everything isn't always peaches and rainbows, life can and will get difficult at times. You can no longer put off your healing or facing your shadow self. It's not other people's responsibility to deal with what you've got going on, you can't keep dumping your issues onto others like emotional warfare. You want someone to hear you, maybe you should listen to yourself this time around!
Scorpio || 10/23-11/21
The Star and 5 of Cups
Whether you want to admit it or not, romance is your thing Scorpio. If you've been dating around you may be finding yourself being fixated on one potential boo. You may be afraid and that's okay because new relationships and feelings can be mad scary at times. That same fear can settle in when you are finding yourself facing off with anything from your past. Don't sweat it Scorpio, because you're well equipped to face it head on now. Trust that you've worked your ass off and now you're ready for this battle. Growth is knowing that just because you made a mistake once, that doesn't mean you won't get another chance to make it right.
There's something heading your way and it's big, it's up to you to know if you're ready for it or not. If you go in without a single doubt in your spirit because if there's even the slightest bit of doubt, your magick won't be able to manifest how it needs to. Scorpio your knack for knowing when to transition is asking you for a redo, are you ready? That's the great thing about The Universe, it does occasionally give out second chances. Goddess give her best warriors the biggest battles, and you're ready for it.
Sagittarius || 11/22-12/21
The Moon and The Magician
Sagittarius! Breathe, you've been through some heavy shit recently and if you're not careful you're going to miss something important. Though you're a fire sign, you like to keep your fire contained unlike your fellow fire signs (Aries and Leo). Now isn't the time to get distracted or shy away from your responsibilities. You can often hide away when heavy life lessons come your way and that has often left you to hold onto feelings until you wild out later on. Instead of containing your fire, it's time to let it spread. Fire needs the energy to feed off of and if you're refusing to let yourself feel anything you're going to explode.
Avoid catastrophic emotional outburst by being present and letting your emotions run freely. You will save yourself the heartbreak and the agony of dealing with the aftermath of your choices. If you just face whatever that may be now because you really don't have that much time left. The Universe has been working OVERTIME to help us all reset and reevaluate our current transformations. How have you changed in the last 6 years Sagittarius? What's different in your life now? How have you elevated? Ask yourself these questions because it's time to get real about where exactly your life is.
Capricorn || 12/22-1/19
King of Pentacles and 10 of Pentacles
Cappy! You're one of my favorite signs Capricorn, you're a no-nonsense type of person and the world needs more of that. However, you can often find yourself "stuck" in a situation that you over analyze instead of seeing the very simple answer. Things don't always have to be some complex if there's a problem using what you have will fix it! You like being comfortable and secure, financial stability is your ultimate gain in life. You never want to be without and that's understandable because even though money sometimes money has a negative view (even though it shouldn't!). You need it to take care of yourself and you of all people know what it's like to be without.
September is asking you to worry less about finances and overworking yourself. You're sitting on a goldmine full of ideas and yet you've made no actual stride toward nourishing them. If you want to start making your own rules and doing things your way. Maybe it's time you believe in your leadership skills. You're not dumb by any means Capricorn, so maybe it's time you take some of those classes you've always been curious about. You don't have to spend a bunch of money to get a good education, remember that.
Aquarius || 1/20-2/18
The Wheel of Fortune and Queen of Pentacles
The Universe is on your side these days Aquarius, once you realized that the only person you have to be is yourself doors opened. You're capable of running nations if you'd just remember to not let your ego get to high up on its horse. Remaining vulnerable and open to life is what keeps you flowing, you may be an air sign but you also have a deep connection to the water. You realized very early on in life that if you want something you're going to have to get it yourself. Just do yourself a favor and stop resisting what it is that you really want. Have you ever gone out in the middle of a bad storm and had to brace yourself against the wind? It would be so much easier and cause less stress on your body to just simply let the wind take you off.
Now don't go getting sucked up by the sky but you can metaphorically allow yourself to flow with whatever transitions come into your life. You've taken the time to reflect and you've done the whole self-doubt thing. Now it's time to kick shit into high gear and show yourself what you're really capable of. This is just the beginning of it all Aquarius, you're about to go through the most fabulous experiences. Just let yourself have them and don't try to mold it into what it is that you want it to be. Let your blessings come and manifest themselves in whatever way they choose to. That's the thing about manifesting, you'll get it you just need to accept it in whatever form it comes to you in. Are you willing to let go of things to get what you need?
Pisces || 2/19-3/20
Queen of Wands and 4 of Wands (Reversed)
I know you're terrified right now Pisces, you feel that huge wave coming and you're doing everything in your power to fight the current. Stop fighting and let yourself do what you do best, float on. You are fighting the inevitable right now, you're going to change whether you want to or not. So stressing about it instead of just letting it happen is what's going to drive you crazy. Your life will be what it needs to be but you've got to let yourself be okay with that. Fish are best when they're doing something with those they love. Sure they love their alone time as well, but maybe it's time for you to stop being so antisocial.
Your loved ones know when you're not alright and they keep calling you because they're worried about you. You've been putting all of this stress on yourself and refusing to let anyone else in. You may even find yourself backtracking to old relationships that you've already moved on from. You're trying to find the answer to a current problem in previous lifetimes when your answer is right here in the present. Some fish come up for a little air every now and then it's time for you to step outside. Come back into the present day and face it like the badass that you are.
Aries || 3/21-4/19
The World and 9 of Cups
You often find yourself at the center of attention Aries, and that's absolutely okay with you. You love being adored and fawned over, just make sure that you're not putting on act while it's happening. If you find yourself always complaining and wanting people to hear you, first ask yourself what's wrong. If you can identify and find the root of your issue you could fix it, although you can sometimes be overly dramatic and make things up for attention. You don't need to manipulate people into loving you. They will love you if you just show them your authentic self and then you will find the genuine partnerships you seek.
When you put out fake you get fake right back, if you're starting to question the relationships in your life ask yourself why. What is it about that person that you no longer connect with? Find the answer to that and you'll also see that you yourself no longer connect with that reason as well. Your relationships are a direct reflection of the energy that you put out. If you can't fully trust those that you love, do you even really love them? A healthy love of any form should always be prefaced with honesty and transparency. To figure out how to start doing that, start with yourself first. It's time to dive deeper into who you are as a person, what you need in a partner and how you are as a partner. Asking yourself these questions will open the door to a deeper understanding of where you're currently at in this life.
Taurus || 4/20-5/20
Jack of Swords and The Devil (Reversed)
Understand that right now you're being asked to take a step back and notice your surroundings. Often times you can get worked up and hyper-focused on mundane things Taurus, you are a bull after all. However, while you go on these mental benders you tend to forget about the things that matter. Whatever you're working on or manifesting can't come to fruition if you don't nurture it before it arrives! You can't have plants if you don't water them as seeds and right now you're ten steps ahead when you need to slow down. This isn't a time for you to be in your own head and quite frankly your feelings either.
It's time to find that nice balance between head and heart, find peace in not knowing what's next. Trust that whatever it is it will be beautiful and blessed by Goddess. You're not alone, you've got a pretty great team around you at all times. Take some time to really put your current phase into perspective and think of how you can let yourself relax more. Find time to enjoy life and all of its lessons because once you do you'll understand why things happen the way that they do.
Gemini || 5/21-6/20
Strength and 8 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Sometimes you feel as if it would be easier to just disappear into thin air Gemini and as cool as that would be that's not what's going to happen. You need to face whatever is plaguing you because it won't go away until you do, yes you're not one to take bullshit from anyone. You're also not the best at walking away from toxic situations and that's what's going on now. You're being stubborn about something and you're allowing your pride to take over. Check your ego at the door boo, you've got to face whatever is knocking on your door.
The sooner you do the less you'll have to worry about shit coming back up later on. If you're as fearless as you say you are then this should be no problem for you. However, we both know some things are easier said than done but that's okay. We've got a New Moon in Virgo coming up and the energy from such a powerful moment will give you all the strength you need. It's time you tap into that wonder twin power of yours and watch portals open. You're going to be fine, just remember that you really are capable of anything.
Cancer || 6/21-7/22
Jack of Wands and The Hermit (Reversed)
Out of all the water signs you're the most tempting Cancer and you know this. You know exactly how to manipulate things to your liking and there are times where that is a favorable trait. Right now you're very close to slipping into old habits and this time it's intentional. You're playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with fate and karma, you're finding it difficult to keep up with whatever it is you've done. It's time for you to rethink this plan of yours, are you really ready to risk everything right now? If you truly believe in yourself and the life that you want then don't be afraid to walk away.
Sometimes it's best to not go ahead with a plan that you had and that's okay! You're not obligated to stay the same nor are the relationships in your life. You've just got to be able to vocalize when you want to move on from something because people are attached to you. In no way am I saying for you to reach out to toxic individuals or anyone at all for that matter. Only you know how you cope and handle transitional periods of your life. Make smart choices about what it is you want your life to look like and the type of person that you want to be. You've got the magick , it's just up to you to decide how you want to cast it.
Leo || 7/23-8/22
7 of Wands (Reversed) and Jack of Pentacles
Leo, you love to be in control of every little aspect of your life and you know that realistically that's not possible. There are things you can control though and whatever those things are you need to find them. You start to spiral out of control and you can become a bit much when you do, so save everyone the dramatics and put your big kid pants on. Take a time out on the need to be in charge and just experience being apart of something new. Whether that be redefining your romantic relationship, finding a new job or even considering that new move, focus on what you can do.
You know how you can be when you don't have a routine Leo and a routine is JUST what you need to restore some balance into your life. Find new classes to take, join a dance group or just find something to get you out of the house! Being cooped up drives you crazy and it's time for you to let yourself be seen. You're a summer baby but you adore the fall, change is always welcomed. Allow yourself to experience just exactly what you need in order to feel unrestricted!
Blessed be!

A Conversation w/ Tarot : Full Moon in Pisces

via Magickgal
“Welcome to your life, There's no turning back. Even while we sleep we will find you.” - Tears For Fears x Everybody Wants to Rule The World
Maybe it's just me, but Leo season took me the fuck out. This last Mercury retrograde was probably one of the most intense transits we've had this year, Now we've cruised into Full Moon mode, and although it comes with a powerful lesson, the waves are chill. The Moon in Pisces reminds us that shit doesn't have to hurt so much. We don't have to hold onto all of the tragedies of the world, and that's okay. To move fluidly through life you've got to know when to stop and settle yourself down. Your waves don't always have to be crashing, sometimes you can be still and serene. The energy that's surrounding us is very simple, tell the truth and be okay with what you feel. Honor your emotional self because of emotions we have intuition, trust what you know is certain.
It's time for you to get serious about this life of yours and what you want it to look like. Who are you? What does your soul ask of you? What does your body need? How are you manifesting your desires? All of these questions can be answered if you'd just be present in the life that you have now. With Mars stationing direct in Capricorn the need to succeed is high! Take those ideas of yours and put action behind them. You don't have to always live in your head, you can have your dream life.
This Month's Tarotscope is all about honoring your feelings and being brave enough to walk into the unknown! Want to get a deeper understanding of what this means? Sign up for a reading by Kirsten!

You become most resourceful when you’re desperate, and right now you’re screaming for help. Calm down, and remember what you’ve learned over time. Your answer is within you, you just have to trust your mind, instinct, and skills. If you want to be less stressed let go of shit, walk away. Focus on the things that you know you can control and let everything else fall in its place. Remember the only person that can save you is yourself, don't wait on the rescue boat. Figure out how to make do with what you've got and build what you need to survive.
3. Full Moon Message
3 of Pentacles (Reversed) + 2 of Wands (Reversed) + Queen of Pentacles
via Magickgal
Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you can have. Know what you need, and know when it’s time to let go. The Full Moon in Pisces is a reminder that your personal demons can be released at any time. It’s time to let go and make room for new pathways. Fall in love with yourself and the universe will fall in love with you too. Find a balance between being present and being hidden. Your energy is needed, but only when you're strong enough to share it. Don't push yourself to the point where you break down. Know that removing hardships sometimes means recasting those roles in your life. Revisit what you think is a problem, there's always a solution.
Blessed be.

Let May Guide You Into The Next Phase of Your Life! #MGTarotscope
by Kirsten Renee
via Tumblr
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!

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.
