JANUARY | Collective Tarot Reading, Oracle Downloads and Life Update
Let’s see, what do I need to catch y’all up on…
My 32nd birthday is coming up (January 20th) and I’ve just been having many divine revelations. To be completely transparent, I have been so fucking confused about everything since August 2022. I got fired from a job that was financially safe for me, but spiritually draining me. I knew on my way to my first day that I had made a mistake, I was driving and crying the entire way there. Those days happened more and more. Did I like the way I was fired? No, not at all because it felt very bitch like. I would have preferred if my boss at the time said “bitch, I don’t like you”. That’s my Cap Mercury and Mars for ya, a lil aggressive but gets the point across. It was a blessing though, because that’s when I realized that I was capable of seeing consistent money of large amounts roll in.
Here’s some tea, I have struggled with finances since I was a teen. I was homeless on and off from 13 - 17, I dropped out of college at 19 and was on mental health watch from 19-22. I’ve been on a journey of discovery since I was 23, I have been on a journey of self acceptance and celebration of life. As I get ready to embrace this next quest of my 30’s I am grateful for so many things that have come along the way.
I am grateful for the way my friends have grown with and accepted me at every form.
I am grateful that I am still alive. That I constantly choose seeking joy to inspire me to live.
I am grateful for the grief that brought on the healing.
I am grateful for my submission to yoga and showing up even when I want to lay down.
I am grateful for all of the shamans, witches, healers, seers and spiritual leaders who pour into me as I sit in my greatness.
I am grateful for the families that I have nannied for.
I am grateful for that one summer at The Masquerade as an intern.
I am grateful for community that I have curated within Magickagal.
I am most grateful for you, my friend, my confidant and spiritual companion. When we show up together, that’s where healing begins to feel safe. I hope you know that you are safe to share your own joy, grief, lust, love and everything in between here. This year we begin our journey of connection and being present in the joy. Moving through the fog on our pathway’s and showing up knowing that we are loved above all things. Tis the season of community care.

Here’s a few things to look out for during the rest of December (using Astrology and Claircognizance)
There’s a new moon on January 11th in Capricorn. Take this time to work on your vision board for 2024! January is for planning, not for having your shit together. If you’re not crafty you can try a hand at making a digital vision board (Canva or Pinterest). You can also grab a whiteboard/cork board and write it out with sticky notes and magnet’s.
The Sun will be transitioning from Capricorn to Aquarius on the 20th of this month. Aquarius season will bring us that creative and independent energy we’ve been calling in. Take this time to join a new community organization, try a hand at a new project or just get active.
Venus in trine with Chiron, with January being a planning season. We have the opportunity to do a lot of deep rooted healing. Call a therapist, go see that lady, find forgiveness within yourself and heal! You can’t manifest from a wounded perspective.
There will be a Full Moon in Leo on January 25th. Aquarius and Leo are Sister signs and exude the same level of God complex in different ways. Where Aquarius sees itself as the master of the universe, Leo only sees itself. Use this energy to connect with the ways you show up within and outside of yourself. Full Moon’s are the perfect time to do introspective work, glamour magick (to reset the vibes), white baths and hex removals.

Card of The Month
Eight of Pentacles
Time to hit the road my friends, with manifesting comes accepting that you have to leave where you once were. Is it always easy to say goodbye? No, not even a little bit. The Eight of Pentacles is a key point on your life map, where do you want to go? What do you actually want to do? How independent are you wanting to be? Freedom and Independence comes with the understanding that something has to get left behind. Feelings change, ideals change, actions change sometimes rapidly or sometimes not at all. There are factors to this to though, have you made choices that benefit and backup what you want out of life? Have you started going out more? Traveling? Eating new cuisines? Dating? Whether you realize it or not, your actions are what energizes your movement. I had a friend tell me (as I am writing this btw) that “Freedom comes when you perspective changes”. Isn’t it crazy just how simple that actually is. It takes nothing but the want to live a different life, to get just that. You have to be present in the right now so that when you are making those big changes. You make them from a space of gratitude and not fear.
To be a good teacher, or expert in your field you’re going to have to make changes. Some big, some small. Teachers know when to become the student, when to ask the questions that open up bigger conversations. When to show up and listen, absorbing all the things around them. When to take on new skills within that passion so that the learning never stops. I can’t speak for most fields, but in spirituality the more open you are the better (IMO). To be of the creator is to create. To add your sparkle to the mix, opening yourself up to new ways of expression, loving and receiving. Now is the time to take notice and make those decisions that lead you to the newest version of yourself. The Eight of Pentacles keeps us motivated, if you’re wanting to get stronger think about how bad ass you’ll look and feel after 3 months of lifting. Now imagine it’s 6 months, 9 months, now a whole year has gone by and you’re in a place that you decided you could get to.
Time to think, dream bigger and create everything that you want for yourself.

November Horoscopes are here! Check your Sun and Moon sign!

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?
