Seven of Cups ✨ The Seven of Cups traditionally represents fantasy, illusions, imagination, and the many choices and possibilities we may have. It reminds us that not everything is always as it seems, and sometimes our desires or fears can cloud our judgment. When I first looked at this card, one word immediately came to mind: illusion. A few phrases followed: "Remove your mask to see," "The odds are against you," and "Think with your Wise Mind." Wise Mind is a concept I used

The Well — XXII The Well is not part of traditional tarot, but it is one of my favorite cards in the Ethereal Visions deck. It represents inspiration, creativity, opportunity, and the place within us where new ideas are born. It is a source of wisdom and possibility, a place we can return to when we are searching for something more. I have always associated The Well with a wishing well. A place where we cast our hopes, dreams, and desires and then wait to see what becomes of

The Moon 🌙 The Moon is number 18 of the Major Arcana and symbolizes intuition, dreams, illusion, and everything that exists beneath the surface. It reminds us that not everything can be understood through logic alone. Sometimes we have to trust what we feel, even before we can fully explain it. This particular depiction of The Moon feels softer than the traditional imagery. The woman gazes upward beneath the crescent moon, almost as though she is daydreaming, lost for a mome

Wheel of Fortune The Wheel of Fortune is the 10th card of the Major Arcana, representing the cycles of life, unexpected change, and major turning points. It carries themes of karma, fate, good fortune, and the natural movement of life. The Wheel often appears when something is shifting. Life moves in cycles. There are seasons of beginnings and endings, growth and rest, uncertainty and clarity. The Wheel reminds us that none of these seasons remain forever. Eventually, the whe

King of Pentacles The Spaces Between Today's Card of the Day is the King of Pentacles. Traditionally, the King of Pentacles represents abundance, stability, success, maturity, and mastery of the physical world. Kings are the outward expression of their suit and Pentacles are connected to the tangible parts of our lives. This could be our homes, careers, finances, resources, bodies, and the things we build over time. The King has learned how to create stability within this wor

Knight of Cups An Honest Offering Today's Card of the Day is the Knight of Cups. We've been seeing quite a bit of Cups energy lately, and I've loved watching the different ways this suit has explored connection, relationship, and emotional openness. Knights in tarot represent action, persistence, pursuit, and forward movement. The Knight of Cups traditionally carries that movement into the emotional realm. He is associated with romance, the pursuit of love and connection, emo

The Magician Hold Your Light Steady Today's Card of the Day is The Magician. Traditionally, The Magician represents manifestation, potential, willpower, and our ability to take what exists within us and begin bringing it into the physical world. Ideas begin invisibly. Dreams begin invisibly. Intentions, decisions, creativity, and even the person we are becoming can exist within us long before anyone else can see them. The Magician stands at that beautiful meeting place betwee

Two of Cups I Come as I Am Yesterday, our Card of the Day was the Three of Cups. A card of friendship, community, collaboration, celebration, and the people who walk beside us through different seasons. Today, something interesting happened. We moved backward. From three... to two. Today's card is the Two of Cups. Rather than feeling like we're moving backward in the story, it feels as though we're being invited to look closer. Yesterday we explored community. Today the circ

Three of Cups The Ones Who Stay for the Rain I cannot believe it is already Thursday and I haven't shared a Card of the Day yet this week. The last several days have been incredibly busy, and I realized I needed a little time to reset myself and renew my energy. With the beginning of Mabon and Autumn, I've also been thinking about the shifts that happen quietly beneath the surface during changing seasons. Sometimes we feel those transitions before we fully understand them. So

King of Swords Seeing Clearly Kings in tarot represent mastery and leadership. They are the outward expression of their suit, the place where experience has had time to become wisdom. They can show us what we have learned, what we have practiced, and how we are now capable of carrying that knowledge into the world. Today we meet the King of Swords. Swords represent the mind. Our thoughts. Our communication. Our ability to reason, analyze, discern, and recognize truth. Connect

The Tower When Lightning Illuminates There are some cards in tarot that make us pause the moment we see them. The Tower is one of those cards. Traditionally, the Tower represents sudden change, disruption, revelation, and the breaking down of structures that can no longer remain as they are. It can challenge false beliefs, values, expectations, or illusions. Sometimes what we thought was stable is shaken so that something more aligned can eventually take its place. The Tower

Strength Deck: the light seekers tarot Powerful Enough to Be Gentle Strength is traditionally associated with courage, inner wisdom, patience, compassion, and learning to work with our instincts rather than being controlled by them. When I think about the Strength card, I often think of “taming the beast within.” But I don't think taming means destroying the beast. It doesn't mean silencing our instincts, denying our emotions, or forcing ourselves into submission. True streng

Four of Pentacles Deck: Ethereal Bloom Bless What You Hold The Four of Pentacles traditionally represents security, stability, and our desire to protect what we have built. It can speak to investing in our future and creating a strong foundation. But it can also carry a caution. Sometimes our desire for security becomes fear, and we begin holding too tightly, to money, possessions, relationships, opportunities, or anything else that makes us feel safe. However the woman in th

The Hanged Man Deck: Ethereal Bloom A Different Kind of Surrender The Hanged Man is traditionally associated with surrender, deeper self-awareness, higher wisdom, and seeing life from a different perspective. It often asks us to consider what we may need to release in order to move toward a more aligned life. Sometimes that surrender can feel involuntary. The traditional Hanged Man is shown suspended upside down, unable to simply get up and continue moving. There can be a fe

Ten of Wands Deck: Oak, Ash, and Thorn Transformation Requires Rest The Ten of Wands traditionally represents carrying too many burdens, feeling weighed down by responsibilities and expectations, or holding on to more than we can reasonably manage. Often, the figure in this card is shown struggling beneath the weight of ten wands, continuing forward despite the exhaustion. However, the little fox in this deck is doing something different. He has put the wands down. He is curl

Two of Swords Deck: Oak, Ash, and Thorn You Don't Need the Whole Moon to Know There Is Light The Two of Swords is traditionally a card of indecision. It can appear when we are caught between two choices, struggling to see the way forward, or waiting for clarity that hasn't quite arrived. In the traditional imagery, a blindfolded figure sits holding two swords, unable, or possibly unwilling, to see what is in front of them. There is often a sense of stalemate. Which way do I g

Nine of Wands Decks: Wild Refelection and Oak, Ash, and Thorn When Protection Becomes a Barrier I didn't share a Card of the Day yesterday, but I did pull one. I spent most of the day in bed with a terrible headache, and rather than pushing myself to accomplish something, I decided it was a good day for a reset. Apparently, my cards agreed. I pulled Death. Despite its name and often intimidating imagery, Death is one of tarot's great cards of transformation. It speaks to endi

Nine of Cups Deck : Oak, Ash, and Thorn Safe Enough to Rest The Nine of Cups is traditionally known as a card of wish fulfillment. It represents emotional satisfaction, contentment, pleasure, abundance, and the experience of receiving something we have deeply desired. It can point toward emotional stability as well as physical and material happiness, the feeling that something we have hoped for has finally come together. When I look at the Nine of Cups in this particular dec

Eight of Wands Deck: Wild Refelctions Tarot Grounded Enough to Leap The traditional Eight of Wands is a card of movement, momentum, communication, progress, and the ending of delays. It often appears when energy that has felt stagnant begins moving again. Things may start coming together more quickly. Communication can open. Decisions are made. What has been waiting begins moving forward. There is often a sense of: Finally! Although, the imagery in today's card looks vastly d

Nine of Pentacles Deck: Wild Reflections Traot Peace Is Part of the Harvest I didn't post my Card of the Day on Wednesday. I had pulled the Two of Cups and spent quite a bit of time sitting with it, but for some reason, I never felt called to share it. Yesterday, I didn't touch my cards at all. My energy had felt depleted for a couple of days, and rather than pushing myself to keep creating simply because I had created a routine around it, I allowed myself to step away. Maybe
