It's the last week of January and with its looming end comes the end of an era. This week’s introduction is rather bittersweet for me as I have spent the past decade making spiritually based apothecary products and recipes. It's something that I loved with all of my heart and gave so much to it while sacrificing almost everything else. And while I haven’t made apothecary products to sell in a few years, I continued to offer my recipes through my online membership. A membership which officially closes at the end of the week.
I see this experience represented so deeply in this week’s cards. The Hanged Man (suspension) and Knight of Wands (risk) most notably. But also in the need for growth represented by the three of pentacles and allowing myself to be where I am, not where I was or even where I’m going with River Rocks.
I offer you a challenge: don’t just look at each day but the cards for the week as a whole. What story or experience do these cards represent for you this week? How are they uncovering something deeper, more meaningful within you? No card draw is an accident, even when you’re reading it on a blog. If you’re here, reading through these cards, trust that the message is meant for you in some way and allow whatever you’re feeling, thinking or experiencing to come through fully.
P.S. for my members. I will be sending you an email this week with instructions for those of you who wish to transfer your membership to my Tarot membership launching soon which will include a free period of access to the new membership.

→ Seven of Swords
The seven of swords represents thievery and manipulation. There are times when this energy is required such as when you need to stand up for yourself or level the playing field. But in most cases, lying and cheating will only corrupt your morals. When this card appears, it's to guide you to check in with your values and sense of right and wrong. It may seem like one small lie here or no big deal to steal from your job every now and again but are you truly justified or are you making excuses for poor behavior? There’s a very fine line between taking what’s owed to you and outright stealing. More than that, today your task is to consider how you may be sacrificing your values and how you can reclaim your integrity.

→ Hanged Man
Suspension is the gift of the Hanged Man even though it may seem like an inconvenience. This card appears when you’re moving too fast, often in the wrong direction and you’re being held here to right your sails. Forward momentum isn’t always a sign you’re on the right track. Sometimes it just means you’re moving too fast, not taking the time required to check in with your values and goals. The Hanged Man then appears to say, “stop and think about this.” Are you really doing what you set out to do? Are you really living the life you want? Are things really working? Are you truly happy? The Hanged Man forces you to see things from a new perspective, trying on different versions of your current reality to see which one truly resonates. Without this time for introspection, you might find yourself wasting weeks if not months or years on things you really care nothing about. Let today be a pause to ask yourself, ‘Where am I going? And do I truly want to go there?’

→ Three of Pentacles
Threes in tarot represent growth. In this case, it's mostly directed towards walking your path alone to finding yourself working in a team. This card represents the moment when you realize your dreams have gone as far as they can without help. For example, this could be the time when you realize your business needs employees or that your kid needs a mentor, or perhaps you’ve lost all the weight you can without a trainer but now your goals have changed and you need assistance. What this card isn’t is failure. Needing additional support is a sign of growth; a sign that your goals have expanded far beyond what you’re capable of on your own. Working as a team allows you to focus on what you love and care about without being bogged down by all the stuff that makes your skin crawl. At the deepest level, this card guides you to be honest with yourself about what you need to get ahead. You’re not doing yourself any favors by pretending you don’t need help.

→ Knight of Wands
This knight of wands guide you to take a risk. To try something new and do something totally different from your usual operating procedure. Think outside the box, think latterly, and think bigger. Fortune favors the bold as the saying goes and never is that more true than with the knight of wands. This knight isn’t afraid to charge into the unknown. In fact, she prefers to do so, going where everyone else fears. And as a result, she has huge wins. Yes some spectacular failures too when she gets it right, boy does it feel like the heavens open up. It makes every fall, every failure worth it to have those moments when her bravery paid her back with huge results. The key to taking advantage of this card is knowing every risk won’t pay off but also in knowing many risks will.

→Devil
The Devil card is temptation, pure and simple. When it appears, it's because you are being tempted by something that you know isn’t good for you. You know that it's going to cause you harm, even if it’s delayed and you know that you’ve likely been in this situation many times but haven’t learned from your mistakes. There is the desire to play the victim when the devil card comes around. It's not actually your fault if someone else encourages you, right? It's not actually your fault if someone makes something available to you, correct? This is the song of the devil: “You’re not to blame for your own choices”, whispers the Devil but this song is a lie. You’re facing this card to wake you up from this trance. You can take control of your actions. While this card may feel judgmental, it's really a card about awareness. You can’t change any mistakes you’ve already made but you can do better going forward. Each time you choose the healthier option, you reduce the influence the devil has over you until his claws can no longer touch you.

→River Rocks
River Rocks appear for you when there is a deep need to find contentment with where you are. You’ve landed in whatever position you find yourself in today because that is where you’re meant to be. That expression: being where you’re meant to be can feel like nails on a chalkboard when life is tough. It’s hard to find value in a downright shitty situation that appears to be nothing but hardship and trouble. However, every situation has some value when you’re willing to look hard enough. Oftentimes, value is just a matter of perspective. First in knowing that life is full of hardships. You aren’t necessarily unlucky or doomed to a life of challenges and the universe isn’t picking on you either. But it can seem that way if all you ever focus on is what’s wrong or broken. Second, shifting your perspective towards what you still have versus what you’ve lost can make a world of difference. Instead of saying your heart is broken, try saying you’re free to find someone who will never break your heart to begin with. Instead of focusing on the unexpected bill that wiped out your savings, try being thankful you had the money at all. The rocks have landed here and now you can choose to get lost in the shuffle of it or enjoy whatever scenery you find yourself in as best as you can.

→Blackberries
Blackberries is a card of spiritual neglect as well as giving into victim mentality. Often the two go hand in hand for when you are truly focused on your spiritual well-being, it's nearly impossible to feel anything else but empowered to change your situation. Envy, fear, anger, manipulation, sadness and other similar emotions can easily convince you a situation isn’t your fault or that you don’t have any power to decide what comes next. These types of emotions may convince you that anger is just your personality and there’s no more to be done or that you’re justified in hurting others because someone hurt you. Blackberries has presented itself to you to break the cycle of these limiting and possibly destructive habits and beliefs. Its presence means you’re ready to stop keeping yourself small in this way and to start reaching for the light. Examine your thoughts today, taking note of ways you give away your own power. One by one, you’ll pull out those thorns and let the healing take place.
