Hiiiii! OOF. Despite the heaviness of the news cycle, I will still wish you a Happy Tarot Tuesday. Yesterday, I was posting some friendly reminders on all the socials to practice extra self care right now. I learned a very important life lesson during the toughest months of the pandemic, & it is this- there is nothing healthy or helpful that comes from freaking out & spiraling down into a hole of existential dread & surrendering to all your toxic vices. Doom scrolling, getting drunk, & declaring the death of democracy might feel tempting, but it isn’t worth the personal consequences you’ll have to suffer through as a result- & it doesn’t help anyone else keep their shit together, either. If you can take action to do something that might make a difference, then take action. If you don’t have it in you, then take good care of your body, mind, & energy. Last week, I sent out the Cancer Szn Self Care Kit. Did you get it? Did you read it? Did you use it? You should. Here ya go:

Just like I am wondering how time flew by so fast, you might be wondering about this, too. How is it already July?! The year is swooshing past us, & I created a new reading that I’ll be offering throughout the entire month.
If you want to work with me directly: This is a Mid Year Check-in Tarot Sesh! I designed this reading to help you reflect on your goals for 2024, celebrate your progress, move through any blocks or challenges, & realign with the path forward. We all know how this usually goes… The ambitious plans we made six months ago are still gathering dust on the bottom of a To Do list somewhere. Shit happens. Adulting is exhausting. We stay committed to our stubborn habits & routines, & true change can feel like a monumental task. Exciting goals & plans require courage & self discipline, too. Without the right support system, our ideas & dreams often fade into the background of our lives. Without a needed boost of confidence & self-belief, we fail to move forward. Growth & change feels hard, but staying stuck sucks. And it's tough to navigate all this without solid guidance. During this Mid Year Check-in Tarot Sesh, we’ll explore some important questions- How has life changed for you (or not) since the beginning of this year? What do you really want to experience or accomplish before the year is over? How do you want to feel in your body, mind, & spirit on a daily basis? Are you really living in alignment with your core values, your intuition, & your purpose? How is your health & connection to self care? If you don't intentionally change anything about your daily habits, are you going to end up feeling your best by the end of the year- after another chaotic election & holiday season? Sometimes, it can be a challenge to hold ourselves accountable for sitting down & unpacking these questions. Even when we prioritize the time & energy to think these things through, it's a whole other situation gaining real clarity around the answers to these deep inquiries. Let me hold space for you, guide you, illuminate truths for you, & help you move forward towards what you really want right now with clarity, confidence, & courage. It'll feel so good to make it to New Year's Eve & look back on all you've done & celebrate your growth & transformation- no matter what else is going down in the wider world around you.
SCOTUS might be busy dismantling democracy, but that makes it all the more important for you to get all the way on top of self care, & feel inspired to show up in the world as your healthiest, happiest, most impactful & inspiring self. The world needs good people embodying hope, power, & confident energy now more than ever. Let me help you feel good & get your shit together…

Alrighty, friends! Here’s your collective reading for the week ahead. We have the New Moon on Friday, July 5th so keep an eye out for a special New Moon readings & rituals post at the end of the work week, & upgrade your subscription if you want access to it!
FOR YOUR WEEK AHEAD ~ July 2nd to July 8th
Card for the Collective: 2 of Pentacles
Notes: This week, see if you can follow your intuition in order to find more ease, balance, & flow. The New Moon in Cancer on Friday, July 5th invites us to sink down into the self care rituals that allow us to feel grounded in our bodies & abundant in energy. Slow down & simplify your schedule. Spend extra time doing things that help you feel rejuvenated & support personal transformation from the inside out.
The Two of Pents often represents balance & change. Pentacles cards relate to the material realm, pulling our focus towards themes involving our money, work, bodies, homes, & families. When it comes to work/life balance, where are you investing most of your time & energy? This card might be a sign that if you shift your priorities to make more space for what feels missing, it’ll lead you towards a pretty radical personal transformation. Do you need to prioritize making more income? Not through hustle culture or sacrificing self care to appease corporate entities, but through embracing & monetizing your own unique & magical gifts? Do you need to focus on taking extra good care of your body? Not through oppressive habits that feel restrictive or forceful, but through exploring forms of movement, nutrition, & nourishment that feel aligned & healthy in a liberating way? Do you need to change some things around your home to help it feel like a cozy cocoon that can support & inspire a deeper commitment to self care? Or do you intuitively feel drawn towards spending more quality time with family (chosen or by blood) that helps you feel safe, supported, & abundant in love?
Take a minute to pause & meditate, or journal it out, or pull a card, & clarify where you’re feeling out of balance in life right now. Listen to & trust your intuition. Focus on making space in your daily life for more of what helps you find a sense of ease. Transform your habits & routines so they align with what feels good as you rebalance & tap into a flow state. Let go of anything that is blocking your ability to capture this New Moon energy all about self compassion & self care. Let yourself soak up what you need this week, & embrace a fresh start. Avoid busywork, multitasking, & people pleasing. Say “no” to any invitations that create stress or pressure to rush in any way. Go all in on nurturing your new priorities, & take the time you need to evolve into the version of yourself that feels light & free & goes with the flow…
Affirmation: “I am transforming my life by prioritizing balance, ease, self care, & going with the flow…”
I’m sending you so much love & strength this week. Remember- we can’t control the actions & decisions of others, but we can certainly create our own sense of expansion & freedom through our own commitment to real self care & personal transformation. It’s a cliche, but it’s true- self care is resistance. And self liberation leads to collective liberation. We can create so much more momentum & impact when we show up with clarity, energy, power, & purpose, & all of that starts from nourishing our own relationships with ourselves. Please, take good care of yourself this week. Realign, find balance, & reprioritize. Give yourself a fresh start. Let yourself expand. And if you want a deep dive mid year check-in to get back on track with your growth & your goals, let me pull your cards for you! You got this & I got you.
Have a magical week,
xoxo Maddie
