Pick-A-Card | A Full Moon in Pisces & Mercury Retrograde in Libra Tarot Reading
Pile #1
You can’t work your ass off and not give the proper accolades to your ancestral team for seeing you through your wins and toughest moments. When was the last time that you returned the favor to spirit? There’s so much more to manifesting than just asking for what you want and working for it. Build your guides an altar, sit in nature and commune with the energy of Mother Gaia. Take some time to visit your departed loved ones at their resting places and leave libations. If for whatever reason you’re finding yourself stuck with what to do for your people, simply just ask them for what they want!
Your Mercury Rx + Full Moon Mantra: “ I am invested in my journey with the divine and all that comes with it.”
Pile #2
Group Two! Let’s talk about how you’ve been wanting to make major moves, but can’t seem to make up your mind. Here’s the tea, there’s nothing wrong with being emotionally invested in your goals. Feel ALL the feels, but let’s get real for a second. Which one of these choices that you’re sitting on is actually just you being afraid? Are you making moves based on who you currently are and are morphing into? Are you making choices based on your fear of failure? Remember, you’re not the same person you once were. If there is an idea/passion project/career that you wanted to partake in then do that! Take a chance on yourself and you might just be surprised about what you discover.
Your Mercury Rx + Full Moon Mantra: “ Everything that I want is tangible and within my realm of reality. “
Pile #3
Group Three! Oh my sweet friends, let me start by saying you are so incredibly loved. The battles that bring us to our knees tend to make great stories later on in life. I know, that’s probably not what you wanted to hear. What you need right now is to let it all go, ask for help if you need it. You can’t help what’s happening but you can ask for guidance through the rough waters. This Mercury Retrograde & Full Moon is going to require you to show up just a little longer, be present in your feelings. Ask yourself the tough ass questions and start unpacking (and HEALING) the energy that has been slowing you down. Keep your eyes on the prize which is finding the light even when everything feels dark.
Your Mercury Rx + Full Moon Mantra: “ I am worthy of divine love, community and light in my life.”
Pile #4
Group Four! The energy is giving it’s time you stop accepting less than what you deserve. If you’ve been doing the work of allocating for yourself and getting your needs met, then good for you! On the flip side though, if you’re needing a sign to make a move in the direction of self acceptance this is it. In another life you might have let things slide, but not here… not anymore. Balance looks like being kind, but also letting people know where they’ve crossed the line! Time to step your protective vibes up and get your point across without settling for less than you deserve.
Your Mercury RX + Full Moon Mantra: “My “no’s” mean something, my boundaries are not hard to accept.”

The Chariot and The Lovers Reversed
Have you noticed that a lot of the spiritual advice you receive online is always telling you to heal your trauma or to push pass boundaries that were created for you? As good as the work of shadow healing is, at some point you’ve got to stop sitting and start moving. The ultimate guide to divine peace and power is knowing how to manifest with what aligns with your current needs. If you’re constantly sitting within your shadows, all you will get is darkness and emotional baggage. Now hear me out, I’m not saying don’t ever cross the threshold of your dark side. What I’m saying is learn how to use what you’ve learned beneath, to guide you above. “As above, so below.” You must meet yourself, your spirits and ancestors, light and dark in the middle.
Shadow work is null if the lessons aren’t turned into actions, as a healer my best life lesson came when I realized that I am also learning while I share knowledge. Same goes for you, you know yourself better than anyone now it’s time for you to introduce that person to the world. You’ve done the work with identifying your boundaries and understanding why you have them in the first place. In order for you to really see how that works, you have to vocalize them. Your story, your triumphs, your pain, your wins and loses all have given you the gift of teaching. Share what you’ve learned , because that is how we can help each other heal.
Below I have created “mindfulness affirmations” for each astrological element group in relation to each tarot card.
The Chariot - Things you should be mindful of.
It isn’t a competition, you are not competing with anyone, not even yourself. You are successful because you work hard and you trust your path, not because you are better than the next. Humble thyself. (Leo, Sagittarius and Aries)
When are you going to start pouring all your energy into yourself for real? You constantly show the world that you’ve got it all together, but at some point you’ve actually got to get it together. Stop faking the funk and take control over your shit for real. The only one pumping the breaks on your growth is you baby. (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio)
Keep fucking going! You are right where you need to be to win this race. Having the faith behind the drive is what keeps you motivated. However, don’t be so into getting ahead that you forget to handle your present business. Be focused on your work, finances and health during this time! You’re going to need to be in tiptop shape over the next few weeks! (Aquarius, Libra and Gemini)
Having a community is necessary for your existence. You may think that working alone is what works for you, but it’s not. You are collaborative by nature, you are someone who people listen to and vibe with because you know shit. Don’t pass up the chance to tap into that energy or sense of community. You will be able to do more meaningful work if you surround yourself with people who align with your creative and authentic self. (Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo)
The Lovers Reversed - A look at your relationships (read moon sign).
It’s funny how you never notice the people who notice you. All you ever see is who isn’t giving you attention and that’s where your anxiety and warped versions of folks comes in. Stop trying to make everything and everyone align with you and your needs. The people who root for you and love you within your boundaries are who you should be pouring into. At some point, you’ll realize that most folks who you think are ignoring you are actually just intimidated by your energy. Rock with those who can handle your vibe! (Leo, Sagittarius and Aries)
Let the people who love you. help you during this time. You think that because you feel so deeply that no one else can understand the magnitude of your emotions. You’re wrong, there are multiple sources and outlets for you right now. Whether that is therapy, a new spiritual practice, books, music, etc. . . You are being called to expose your emotional self at a level that you form a healthier relationship with yourself. (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio)
You are often not aware of just how powerful you are and that’s crazy when everyone around you does. You collect people who reflect your inner self and that’s how it has always been. Your energy manifests itself in the relationships that you find yourself in. If you’re around people that make you feel low ask yourself why you’re allowing that energy to be around you. Checking how you treat yourself is how others will follow suit! (Aquarius, Libra and Gemini)
Trusting people is something you don’t take lightly and that’s to be expected when you see shit for what it really is. However, your skepticism can also cause you to miss out on some really special moments. Allow your relationships (especially romantic ones) find their flow naturally and with ease. It’s easy to want to know what is going to happen or how something is going to happen. Right now though, you need to take it easy and let The Divine lead you to great heights. Trust this process, because whether you realize it or not someone/something is coming to shake your shit up and you need it. (Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo)
Journal Queries:
How can I show up for my needs and boundaries while also vocalizing them to my loved ones?
How am I participating in my relationships with others and myself?
Am I saying no to things out of fear or necessity?
What does my current journey need from me in this moment?

Stepping Into a New Season : October 19' Tarotscope
by Kirsten Renee
Queen of Swords + Six of Swords (Reversed) + Judgment + The Star
Move yourself around sweet friend, it’s time to shed your skin and let your soul breathe. It hits you hard when you have the realization that you’re transitioning. It’s heavy, often feels like your skull is being crushed at a rapid speed. Which sounds graphic, but that’s what transitioning/ascending is … it’s graphic. During this time, you need to lean heavily on your spirit guides and ancestors! Trust that they are leading you through this with precision and love. At this rate, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not falling into this season fully. That RESENTMENT and RESISTANCE that you’re projecting on to yourself is just your unconfirmed fears. The time to stop running is now, we’ve got Mercury Retrograde happening in the sign of Scorpio. You want to navigate it? Then start being honest with yourself about everything! Once you master that skill, be prepared to be exposed to a whole new level of vulnerability.
The Queen of Swords is asking you to be strong and firm in your opinions, but make sure that you’ve got the facts. As we sit in the sweet center of Mercury’s Shadow Period (Mercury Rx starts on Halloween!) a lot of fog has arrived with this energy. Don’t fret though, where there is mental/emotional fog there is also space to address what creeps up with it. Let your feelings flow as best you can, spend some time meditating and sitting with your ancestors and other spiritual council.
Now is the time for us to begin the journey of putting the lessons into work. Where we sat still last year during Scorpio season, this year we are turning those lessons into ACTION! What’s the point of doing heavy emotional work if you’re not going to apply what you’ve experienced to your journey. Now is not the time to hide your brilliance, you’re most certainly capable of navigating everything on your pathway.
The Six of Swords Reversed is asking you to sit the fuck down and actually make a plan. If you’re just moving and not knowing where you’re headed, sit down. With Saturn (the planet of movement) visiting Capricorn, the lesson here is practicality and goal setting. Don’t move faster than what The Divine has required for you, because moving to fast could be catastrophic for your journey. I say that to say, you need to be smart in making your moves. Whether that be financially, romantically or if you’re at the grocery store. Be mindful of what you put into your body and where you place your body during this time. If you’re also looking into changing your eating habits, spiritual practice, wardrobe,etc… Do it!
Use this energy leading up to Mercury RX and during it to elevate yourself! Now, don’t go spending a bunch of money on fad diets, expensive clothing and things. Use your resources wisely, learn to coupon, stop online shopping, and start SAVING your coin’s! Do a home makeover; go through your closets and get rid of old clothes, empty out your pantry and cleaning cabinet’s, clean your car, do your laundry, MAKE SPACE! Make space for all the things that you want to welcome into your life during this communicative blackout, that way when Mercury stations direct, your blessings will have somewhere to go.
Justice is a reminder that all that attacks you will fail and by fail, I mean will reap what it sows. Now that same thing goes for you, if you’ve been living a life that is less than desirable expect The Universe to expose you too boo. If you’re gearing up for a new business venture make sure ALL of the small details are given attention. It’s cool and all to see the big picture and your desired outcome of your wants. However, right now you’re being asked to make a list (and check it twice!) to go along with those big ideas of yours. You will be successful, but only if you make choices that assist your blessings and not block them.
Don’t worry though, your intuition is exactly the tool to use in order to get a feel for what you need now. Trust in your own mystic abilities friend, you’re not as hard-up as you think you are and if you are actually in that space. Do yourself a favor and call on your guides to show signs that they are there and to help guide you during a difficult time. The thing with Justice is that it calls for balance and truth, speak yours now. Find your balance between spirit and you, be mindful that this practice takes time and should be something that you go into with that understanding. You are being called to be truthful with who you are at this exact time.
The Star is reminding you that you are divinely loved and cared for! Those spiritual downloads that you have been getting (angel numbers, whispers in the wind, intuitive thoughts,etc) are messages from your angels. There are certain messages that humans can’t always deliver for us, that’s why knowing HOW your ancestors and angels communicate is key! Do they use dream communication or nature? Do they speak directly to you or through those close to you? Are they popping up in physical form? The answers to those questions can only be answered by you and your willingness to listen and accept. Trust that they have your best interest at heart (they do!) and that you have theirs as well. Remember they work for you as long as you return that love. Do not abuse the power that they bless you with nor take it for granted, because just like they gave it… They will certainly take it and most times it won’t go quietly. Honor your guides, yourself and The Divine, together as one.
I want to end this with a prayer for you, for me and our collective community.
You may recite this prayer as you read it and as many times after if you resonate with it.
“I call upon the divine, my spirit guides, guardian angels, and ancestors (call them out by name if you know them!).
“I invite you into this space and ask for you to protect and bless me during this Mercury Retrograde. I ask for your divine guidance, clarity, cleverness and focus during this phase. No matter what trials come my way, may the lessons they bring teach me what it is that I need to know now. I am grounded in the Earth with my truth, I am carried by the Water to where I am meant to be, My path is cleared of all mental and energetic fogs by Air and My pathway is lit ablaze by the light of Fire.
I walk by faith, not by sight. I trust the divine plan and my intuition to guide me.
so it is and so it shall be, what’s meant for me is for me
blessed be. “
