The Magician, 7 of Pentacles, 3 of Swords

Hello everyone! This week’s general message is more geared towards dismantling our preconceived ideas about the roles we play in our lives. While certain spheres may demand us to show up and fit into certain molds, the one area under the microscope this week is that of our more private and personal lives. Who ARE you to yourself and those closest to you? And how do you show up in different situations? How would you feel if the rest of the world knew the REAL you?

The Magician comes in with all his pretty tricks, tools, and pretenses. He knows his trade, and if experienced enough, could very well convince the observer that he could make it snow in a hot desert within the blink of an eye. The keyword to consider here this week is “integrity.” When showing up in new environments and situations, be very mindful about the way you are portraying yourself. You might fool the unfamiliar crowd once, but if you’ve sold yourself as something you’re not, be ready to come clean when the 4th wall breaks.

And what of this “new and improved” you? It could be surprising, but you may find a new sense of peace through dropping the facades. Truly embracing your past experiences, skills, and overall sense of humanity might give you the boost you've needed to get ahead. The 7 of Pentacles says that the work has been done; but now through your acceptance and acknowledgement you will be able to take things to the next level. Allow yourself to rise above and fully enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Lastly, the big message for many of us here this week is this: Until you settle up with yourself for the past, you will continue to run in an aimless direction out of worry or fear. Square up and give yourself the time and attention necessary to make amends. It’s okay to rest and it’s of utmost importance that you learn how to truly nurture yourself in the present. The 3 of Swords this week asks, “How do you tend to your emotional wounds?” Experiment with different modalities and come up with your own unique way of working through difficult or uncomfortable feelings and situations. The more intimately aware and connected you are to this process, the safer you may begin to feel as you reach out to meet your future self.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. Have a blessed week! :) - Lilith Jane

5 of Pentacles, 5 of Swords, 10 of Pentacles + Growing Up

Hello friends! This week’s general message is about choosing the path less taken. Where the thorny brush might prick your skin and the branches reach out and twist to hamper you. This is the difficult path that you may have been avoiding for so long, yet once conquered, you will be changed forever. Many of us get caught up in over thinking the “right” way to go based on fear rather than focusing on where we want to end up. The path that defines the destination may end up leading you someplace you’d rather not be. So what will you choose?

The story and sacrifice of the centaur named Chiron teaches us that even while wounded there is an opportunity to turn pain into healing. Rather than lie down and succumb to the wounding, there is a choice that can allow us to still use the experience as a lesson for ourselves and for others. Depending on one’s perspective of the 5 of Pentacles, this is a chance to incite long term change. Suffering is not a life sentence. This week, you may have a chance to use your knowledge and wisdom of past challenges to help others, and in turn, also help yourself.

As you enter this week, ask yourself - “If there is only one thing I could change about the way that I speak to myself and others, what would that be?” If you honestly cannot come up with an answer then you are being challenged to dig deeper. For a small group of you, there has been a consistent theme as of late that revolves around the way you engage in conflict which is directly tied to how you perceive yourself. Throwing daggers at your own picture on a wall will not get you the results that you’re seeking. The 5 of Swords is asking you to let go of using biting words. Encourage your potential with focus and care as if you were trying to start a fire with twigs and stones. With patience, it won’t be long before you have a roaring flame.

Although the hare is a relatively fast moving creature that symbolizes fragility, luck, and bounty of fertility; there is also the lesson of prey animals. Hares are generally quiet creatures that do not provoke attention if they can help it due to the nature of larger predatory animals. In this same sense, the 10 of Pentacles is asking you to be open to ways in which abundance can come to you. Many of you are being pushed to release the idea that you can only be “rich” if you’re famous and the like. Wealth, like most things in life, are all subjective to the person experiencing it and to the other’s looking in. This week, your values are being put onto the table one more time so that you may properly prioritize and see if placing a target on your back is really necessary to live the lifestyle that you only THINK you “need”. Choose carefully.

And lastly, Growing Up was and is never an easy feat. With all of the expectations set on us while we are young and well into adulthood, it’s no wonder we cling to our youth with a vice grip! But this week we are being shown the true value of the wisdom that comes with experience. No matter your age or where you are currently on your journey, there has come a time where you have had to care for another person or stepped in to lend a hand (maybe a bit begrudgingly as well). This week may offer crucial insights as to what other areas of your life that might need a bit more discipline, commitment, or help. Do yourself a favor and start giving more to you.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. Have a blessed week! :) - Lilith Jane

King of Swords reversed, Queen of Pentacles, 7 of Cups reversed

Hello everyone! This week’s general message is about finding practical ways to keep yourself grounded during times of discord and uncertainty. What are some effective tools that you employ to center yourself? While many of you are discovering and exploring your spiritual path, there is a friendly reminder not to miss the most important thing- the journey. We often hear key words or phrases like “ascension”, “low vibrational” vs “high vibrational”, etc. Don’t let these labels keep you from being ever present within your body throughout your experiences.

Perhap this week may bring you opportunities to get more clear and direct about what you want and need. This will require the utmost level of honesty about where you are and what work needs to be done. The King of Swords reversed appears as a reality check. It’s okay to acknowledge what it is you may be lacking. Stop avoiding it. Face it head on and create a game plan so that you are well equipped for the next few months as you work toward your next achievement.

There isn’t much that can be done when it comes to certain circumstances that you’ve been dealt with recently; however, there are chances this week to get back on track if you are willing to sit down and spend some time getting more organized. Find ways that you can be more efficient and get the most out of your resources. The Queen of Pentacles shows us that sometimes penny-pinching for the sake of saving a dollar could cost us more in the long run than if we were to invest a little more presently. Seek quality over quantity this week in all things, and make your choices accordingly.

Lastly, as you are making adjustments to how you spend your energy, you may realize that some of the things you’ve wanted are no longer as meaningful to you. That’s okay! The 7 of Cups reversed is like a late spring-clean for many of you this week. You may have already let go of certain material items, but now it’s time to make a list and clear out any lingering attachments you might have to people, memories, or experiences. Thank them, move on, and come back to yourself. You’re creating space for what’s to come.

Weekly Tarot 5/20/24 - 5/26/24

The Fool, 3 of Swords, Strength

Hello friends! This week’s general message is about truly embracing the unknown. These are some questions to keep in mind for the days ahead:

What could you achieve or create if you were not afraid? 

Who would you be now if you were not so attached to self-limiting thoughts/behaviors? 

How can you press onward while holding space for both fear AND doubt? 

What can you do over the next 3 weeks to build more trust within yourself?

As you consider the prompts above, take note when you face a challenging situation this week and how you respond. If you find that you have not been challenged as of late, this may be a sign that some changes need to take place. There is nothing wrong with stability, but if the goal is to conduct change, you must be willing to go through some discomfort. The Fool appears as a reminder that being ignorant or naive allows one a chance to learn. How you choose to respond in a situation can make or break the course. Learn your lessons and learn them well. How you apply the wisdom as you move through life will paint the picture that you leave behind.

There are some terrible things that happen in this life no doubt. Many of us have been heavily identified as the victim in our stories. But what if you could reframe your perspective and use your experiences as a means to elevate yourself? The things that have happened to you do not diminish your value as a human being. Forgiveness of your past self for missing the signs or not knowing better is crucial. There is still space for joy amongst the pain; you just have to let it in. That is the truth of the 3 of Swords this week.

Lastly, a specific message for a small group of you. There has been some disconnect between your understanding of what the “search for community” could imply by your guides or by Spirit. We all find Strength and support in different ways. Some of you are naturally introverted and might struggle with the idea of being a part of a larger community in order to achieve what you perceive to be “success”. Seek connection from your animal allies. There is beauty and priceless value in the healthy bonds that humans and animals have. If you have noticed a particular animal making itself known to you more frequently, I highly suggest doing a quick search for the symbolism and lessons that this animal could have for you. Take some time to immerse yourself in the animal kingdom to observe their lives and behaviors to see what wisdom comes forth for you.

Death, 7 of Bones (Wands), The Guide (Hierophant)

Hello everyone! The general guidance from the cards this week is that of surrendering to your greater wisdom. This week’s energy is lending itself for you to embrace the release of rigid ways of thinking and behaving. The best way to do this is to try something new. Will it work out the way you’re hoping? You won’t know until you try.

The concept of Death and endings is commonly an uncomfortable subject to many. The process of losing, grieving, shedding, releasing is more often than not a messy process. Through societal conditioning, many of you may have felt obligated to hide or suppress this experience. There could be a lot of guilt and shame that surrounds this. No one teaches us how to navigate the deep trenches of sorrow or how to keep our heads above water when life washes over and floods our barricades. This week will allow you opportunities to gain familiarity with this process. Whether that is guiding yourself or someone else. Learning to be there for yourself and for others during this time will be beneficial. When you can fully surrender to the end of a chapter and honor it completely, only then can you truly begin anew. 

Something that also isn’t spoken of enough is the comprehension that comes with allowing a version of yourself to retire while learning to embody a new identity. Through this process, you gain the wisdom and experiences of the old self while moving forward entirely. Some people remain the same throughout their entire lifespan, while many of us have died and been reborn countless times. With that, we have our own pool of knowledge to take from when necessary changes are in demand. Others may not understand where we are coming from, but that is not something we need to expend our energy on to change. This week, the 7 of Bones (Wands) comes as a reminder to forge onward against all odds. The blessing is trusting your instincts to adapt and navigate the skies ahead.

When you know yourself and your story like the back of your hand, it becomes much more difficult to be swayed by the opinion of others. However, this very fact can become your downfall. The Guide (Hierophant) reminds us that while there is a path and structure to be followed, it is still simply a blueprint that you have the ability to edit or correct. Don’t let yourself be the one to also keep yourself stuck. Believe so strongly in your gifts and abilities that whatever challenges come your way now become the bricks of which you build your success upon.

4 of Pentacles, 6 of Cups, 3 of Cups + Eno’s Cup

Happy New Moon in Taurus! This week offers us a chance to slow down and enjoy the little things in life. It’s not often that many of us get to partake in leisure time in a way that we would prefer. As the week progresses, you may find that allowing yourself the much needed rest and recreational time was long overdue. Be intentional about what kind of week you’d like to have and move accordingly. 

Security tends to come and go in waves. As you begin to observe the ebb and flow of your income and opportunities without judgment, you’ll start to notice patterns. Pay close attention. Look back to when you felt most at ease in your situation. What was different? Do you feel safer or more comfortable now than ever? No one can tell you what you truly need. The 4 of Pentacles may give you a chance to redefine what it means to be “stable.” Instead of looking to others to see if you’re “doing it right”, check in with your higher self and see if an adjustment needs to be made.

Sometimes in an effort to do good by others, we abandon parts of ourselves in the process. Honesty is generally the best policy, as you may be reminded throughout the week. The 6 of Cups asks that you be true to yourself. If you’ve been ignoring your needs for a while, it may be more difficult to discern what your inner self is trying to communicate to you. Be patient with yourself. 

Another opportunity that many of you will have this week will be a chance to “connect the dots.” It’s time that you let long time friends meet with the new. Using your best discernment, this is a chance for you to create community. Whether it is through shared interests, work, hobbies, music, etc. Don’t be afraid to share your stories. Your past, present, and future are aligning. The 3 of Cups reminds you that you don’t have to wait until the next big event in order to have a good time. Be present and lower your defenses for a little bit.

As the week unfolds and you lean into feelings of safety and connection, you’ll find that the answers you’ve been seeking will sneak right up like Eno’s Cat. Most of you are well aware by now that the stereotype of the cat is that they are independent. They don’t usually like to be chased, pestered, or smothered. If you were to assume that the clarity you are so keen on seeking could be like a cat; perhaps you’d lessen the output of energy towards it and just allow it to come in its own time.

The Chariot, 2 of Wands, 6 of Pentacles

Hello friends! Some big changes lie ahead as you move through this week. By now it seems that many of you have grown more accustomed to simply saying “No” to things that do not feel in alignment with you. As the weeks progress, you will begin to see the contrast in energy when you are in alignment vs when you are not.

With The Chariot, several of you are finally getting back into the driver’s seat and feeling good about the direction you want to go in life. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you know the path right off the bat, but you’re surrendering more to the journey and allowing yourself to figure it out as you go. This week gives more opportunities to recognize that you do have a choice. You just have to be brave enough to choose. There’s no more “waiting around until it magically appears in your lap” (although I know some of you have gotten pretty good at figuring out how to attract things lately). Spirit wants to encourage you to take inspired action when you feel the nudge. These acts do not need to be grand, but they do need to be aligned with what you’re trying to achieve in order to begin building momentum. 

For example: If your goal is to build healthier relationships, but you continue engaging with people that exhibit similar past behaviors that you’re trying to move away from; that decision is still a choice. You may not see changes within your connections until you lessen the time spent with old ones or severe ties with them altogether. You can also replace the relationship scenario with a hobby or habit. If you are wanting to start something new, but continue to engage with things the same way you always have, you will still see the same results. 

Next you have the 2 of Wands which could signify that many of you finally feel “enough”. There is a sense of wholeness and confidence that you have worked diligently to maintain over these last few weeks. Now that you have reached this point, the vision that you have for yourself may become more clear as the next few days unfold. Clarity comes with this newfound feeling of inspiration. Utilize this energy to continue building toward your manifestations, goals, intentions, etc.

Lastly with the 6 of Pentacles, this feels as if many of you are no longer worried or feeling guilty for wanting to pursue more. You have come to realize that the good that would come from making these lasting changes would only allow you to help yourself and others in a way that you may have not been able to do before. It could be that after all this time of feeling helpless or needing constant support, the script could flip and now you will be the one to lend a hand. Be careful that this doesn’t go to your head. Center yourself and remember that working together with the right community can bring success to all.

10 of Pentacles, The Magician, Queen of Swords + Astaroth

Hello friends! This week’s message is about perseverance and the rewards that result from our blood, sweat, and tears. Many of us are not unfamiliar with working hard. However, through these last several weeks and months, it has become painfully clear that the energy we’ve been putting into certain endeavors was highly misplaced. We have had to step back in order to move out of our heads and back into our bodies. Another way to look at this is lessening the importance of focusing only on what might be more “exciting” chakras (third-eye and crown), and doing things to connect our systems as a whole by learning and leaning into the gift of our lower chakras (specifically sacral and root). This week will give us opportunities to pull wisdom from above and within to apply toward the actions and decisions we will be making over the course of the next several weeks.

Several of you may have been focused on creating stability for yourselves, perhaps with the thought of “I can get started on my goals once I feel stable enough to do so.” However, “stable” could be the cover up for “safe”. The 10 of Pentacles tells us that material fulfillment comes with a cost no matter if it’s a phone, a collectible mug, a drum kit, a bike, etc. There is always a price to pay and there is never a guarantee that those things will last forever. The biggest resource you have is time. How will you allocate the time you have moving forward?

If you were to value your growth and experiences more than getting the latest technological upgrade or buying a bag because a stranger on the internet convinced you to, how do you think you would direct your energy? The Magician returns from the previous week to emphasize the truth that YOU have a lot more power in the choices that you make than you are taking accountability for. 

The Queen of Swords is a message to some of you that the goal that you have in mind is not at all impossible. You just have to be able to let go and release the notion that you know everything. Let yourself make mistakes and let others think what they will. You are the one putting in the work, not them. The greatest thing you can do for yourself this week is to be humbled by simply not knowing. You will find that your approach to yourself and to others will soften because you will see that we are all learning together. Just as you are eager to show or teach someone a new way of doing things, make space for others to do the same for you.

Lastly, Astaroth comes bearing a message that says, “Resist temptations. Be rewarded with hidden treasures.” It’s difficult not to look back to our places of comfort. Keep your eyes forward and focused on what lies in front of you. Many of us are missing the answers that are right in plain sight. Chasing your tail is a sure fire way to exhaust your energy, but once you stop and look around you may find that you have exactly what you need at your feet. Be clever and resourceful. This week brings lasting change.

3 of Cups, 8 of Swords, The Magician

Hello everyone! The message for the week ahead is that of surrender. As many of you have been trying to take action and forge ahead, there still seems to be something that hinders you. As much as you'd like to jumpstart on this new project or chapter of your life, it could still feel like you’re just “not there.” Please remember that we are in a retrograde period. How this impacts you will vary depending on your own astrological placements. Regardless, the general purpose of a retrograde is to offer you a chance to pause, reflect, and refine. Take advantage of this time.

Some of you might find that this week will offer a chance for you to recenter yourself and blossom. For a good portion of the last several months it may have felt like you were in hiding. With the 3 of Cups, you may find yourself being invited to spend quality time with friends or new acquaintances. Do not turn down this opportunity. As you’ve been leaning more into your authentic self, you will find rather quickly that new allies will make themselves known. Do not downplay the growth that you’ve achieved. You deserve to be supported and cared for.

With that being said, some of you might still feel a bit of uncertainty or insecurity around the changes that lie ahead. Try your best not to let those feelings keep you from taking flight when the time is right. If used correctly, you can utilize your thoughts to create massive change over the course of the next few months. As stated before, this week is still a chance to streamline and define the goals ahead without feeling trapped by overthinking. That is the gift of the 8 of Swords.

Lastly, The Magician is the perfect example of mastery of the mind. Practice cultivating creative thinking to help you utilize what you already have. It’s definitely an easier excuse to accumulate more tools or knowledge before you begin. If you approach the next few days with the curiosity that comes with a new experiment, you may find that the outcome could be far more fulfilling than what you’d originally hoped. And if not, you can always approach with a different method until something clicks. A good magician rarely reveals their secrets and a person eager to learn will do what it takes to discover it themselves!

2 of Wands, The Fool, 3 of Chalices (Cups) + The Temple + The Unseen

Hello everyone! This week many of you will finally take the plunge into the depths of the unknown. What lies beyond is no longer a concern, and many of you have reached a place of full surrender. Several of you may recently have come to the realization that “manifesting” techniques might work well for others, but that they don’t seem to work the same for you. Let it be known that what you observe of others is only a small part of the larger experience. You are meant to forge your own path with your own formula. You are no longer copying anyone else’s homework nor will you be trying to do all the work for someone else. As the solar eclipse comes to start and end, you will find that the last bit of whatever you’ve been resisting or not releasing will come to a head.

As the week begins, you might be faced with situations where you may retire from your role as the peacekeeper. With the 2 of Wands, a decision is to be made as to whether or not you want to continue trying to appease everyone. With the pressure on and opinions fully abundant, it may be best to sit this one out. Would it really be so bad if you let yourself hang out on the sidelines for once? These situations are here to show you that while you have a gift, you are not always obligated to engage “on demand”. Allow yourself to release the expectation that you have to always be the hero or healer.

With the Fool, you might find that saying “good-bye” to whatever was holding you back in the previous months (or even years) is much easier than what fear was telling you. This time around, you’ve done the work. When you acknowledge and take full ownership of your experiences, you are equipped with everything you need. The rest will come to you as you move forward. Trust yourself to handle whatever comes next.

There are a few of you who are shaken by the fear that you could be on this new path alone. This simply won’t be true. While it may feel awkward at first, you’ll see that new faces and energies will come around. The 3 of Chalices (Cups) is the promise that you are not alone. The new connections that are meant for you will be brilliant, inspiring, and uplifting. You’ve done so much work to embrace a more fearless, honest you. Take your time and pay attention to the signs and energies that appear over the next several days.

Lastly, with the Temple and the Unseen, many of you may feel the call to seek a deeper connection to the eternal divine. Whether you consider yourself a non-spiritual person, a hippie, a wandering spirit, or you’re a practicing sorcerer - divinity makes itself known in ways that only you can decipher. This is a call to devote time to learning the language of life that speaks to you. Energy, music, art, dance, poetry, etc. Practice engaging all of your senses into every experience. You will no longer be numbing yourself to this reality. Befriend the energy within yourself today so that you may have a chance of directing it toward a better tomorrow.

2 of Swords, 2 of Pentacles, 5 of Pentacles

Happy April, everyone! This first week of the month is packed with new revelations in regards to your career, finances, or perhaps your systems of value over all. Many of you may feel strongly pulled in more than one direction. It could be that you don’t feel well equipped to take a leap of faith toward a long held dream of yours. It could also be the overall fear of failure, or better yet, fear of success. 

At this time, you may feel as if you’ve been stuck in a glass container trying everything you can think of to escape. Caught between those translucent walls with a view of what you could experience if you could just get out and onto the other side. The 2 of Swords keeps you in place. Some of you have been so distracted with a linear way of thinking that you have missed a grand opportunity. Perhaps some of you have already caught wind of a chance of a lifetime, yet continue to talk yourself out of it. Whatever the case, this week will make it more obvious than it was before. Once you make the decision, you’ll wonder why you waited so long in the first place.

As with all things in life, there are many moving parts. So many facets of “you”, yet we still cling onto this idea that you have to choose only one way of being. Your “beingness” does not require you to abandon any part of you. The 2 of Pentacles grants you the wisdom that there is always balance. Even when you don’t feel like everything is perfect. There will always be one and the other. Polarity. In this life you are not tasked with keeping the order of the world. Find the balance that works for YOU. It will be key in your decision making throughout this week.

Lastly, the 5 of Pentacles is reminding you that you are resourceful. Many of you are underutilizing your creative gifts and talents. You will have to put forth a little more effort to think outside of the box in order to achieve the big breakthrough that you are seeking. Once you find your zone of genius, you will feel more engaged and in the flow of life. If you could choose to be known for something, what would it be and why? How does it make you feel? Would you take the time to invest more into that if you felt supported? What can you do for yourself right now that would lend itself to this endeavor?

You’ll find throughout the week that the answer you were wanting was right under your nose the entire time. Take a step back, assess everything at large, and then take on each detail with clarity and trust. You will get to where you need to be. No sooner, no later.

Queen of Wands, 6 of Wands, The Hierophant

Greetings everyone! This week gives us an opportunity to get acquainted with how our sacral energy feels and manifests. Over the last few weeks, many of you might have been on a journey of tapping into your heart center in order to open up to love and connection. Now you're being given a chance to see how your creative energy influences that process.

When the Queen of Wands appears, this signifies the energy of confidence, creation, ambition, and will-power. This week may give you a chance to see how you can approach situations with an open and understanding heart, yet still using your energy to get things done! A compassionate leader is one that can inspire change on a deeper level. And even if the idea of being in charge isn’t your thing, you can still tap into this energy in order to facilitate change for yourself on a personal level. 

Part of eliciting change for yourself requires honesty. Honesty comes from having the courage to acknowledge the good AND the bad. The 6 of Wands can signify the value of recognition. As you progress through the week, you may be faced with situations that will allow you to see very clearly the value that you bring and whether or not it is being honored. Give yourself a pat on the back and high-five your best pal! Everyone is doing the best that they can within their capacity. Celebrate your wins and share the joy.

Lastly, there are some things that may never change. Rather than dwelling on your short-comings, let yourself be open to learning. Allow life to support you through friends and community. The Hierophant warns against being dogmatic and rigid. It’s okay to feel challenged. This is a sign and opportunity for your growth and that of others too. Many things can be true at once. Allow yourself and others to just be without trying to force or bend them to fit your narrative. This allows you to be present with the full richness and complexity of life.

Greetings everyone! Over the past many months, you may have been struggling with your sense of self. Almost like feeling at odds with who you are and what options were ahead of you. The 7 of Ghosts (Cups) appears this week as you bring your awareness to the reality that perhaps you may not always have to make a decision right away. You might find that basking in the soup of opportunities is a blessing rather than something to worry over. It is okay to feel overwhelmed with options. It’s okay to accept that maybe you need not just one thing, but maybe multiple things in your life in order to feel satisfied. You don’t have to adhere to the notion that you have only one purpose and that’s all. Allow yourself to flow and experiment within your creativity and connections.

We can sometimes feel like we are creatures of our own making, however; we are a beautiful, intricate composition of everything we have experienced up to where we currently are in our journeys. The Emperor is a figure of power, authority, and accomplishment. No matter who you are and how far you’ve gone, you are still pieced together by the fabric of people and events you’ve encountered. As you accept more responsibility and expand your horizons, don’t forget to use that power for good. (Insert the quote from Uncle Ben to Peter Parker here.)

As we progress through this week, many more of us may be faced with the harsh reality that we might have felt too sensitive to acknowledge in the past. Rather than turn a blind eye, the 5 of Pumpkins (Pentacles) asks that you face this head on. Too many people in this world are in positions to help others, but none seldom take a stand. This is not to guilt you nor bring you down, but more so a gentle reminder that you were never in this alone and there may be a time where it is your turn to lend a hand. Privilege can come with a cost. Be sure to tend to the people, environments, and communities that you participate with.

All in all, the question posed for this week is- “Where do you stand amongst others that may need more help than you?” For many of us, this week may be the culmination and closing out of a final chapter. A resolution, a farewell, or perhaps accepting to settle where you’ve been placed for a little while longer. Whatever the case may be, it feels bittersweet yet reassuring. 

Take what resonates and leave the rest! Have a blessed week! :) - Lilith Jane

The High Priestess, The Star, The Empress

“Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds!” (As quoted by the great Hannah Montana) A new beginning, a fresh start…For many of us recently, there has been a mighty calling to leave an old life behind in pursuit of a better one. This might have left you feeling as if some massive purge needed to take place in order for the change to happen. As some of you may have taken the first steps toward what felt like a new start, there might have been a set back or two or three. 

“How can it be that I know deep within that I am meant for so much more, yet I can’t seem to reach the apex?” This is an opportunity to witness your potential and your limits. This is a chance to see how you will create your desired outcome within your current means. The High Priestess is a witness to the knowledge of Source. What steps can you take in order to meet yourself in the middle? Understanding that there is always a balance between light and darkness, where do you stand? How do you use the energies of assertion and receptivity to mold and shape your life? She is the keeper of answers and in order to hear her, you must be willing to feel it all. This week will bring you lessons that will allow you to tune into your true nature and gifts. 

As you progress through the week and take notice of your growing awareness, you may find that a flash of inspiration will dawn brightly in your mind’s eye. The Star brings a fine sense of hope and clarity. This feels like it will come unexpectedly when you aren’t trying to think yourself out of your current situation. Be present. Take it all in. With one foot on land and one on water, it’s no wonder you feel the pulling and tugging between energies. But what if you stop fighting it? What if you allow things to be as they are and trust the unfolding? Some of you might realize that you were always meant to travel between worlds. To bring wisdom not only from the spiritual, but also the physical world to convene in the middle. You are here to embrace the fullness of what it means to be a limitless spirit contained in a human body. 

In terms of limits, this is something we must accept and honor just as we do with our capability to go forth and succeed. The Empress rules from a comfortable seat in a gown made of bountiful fabric. In some other portrayals, she can also be seen as being pregnant. During that time, a person waiting to give birth must accept that there may be limits to what they can do, but it's temporary in most cases. Some of you may be in situations that require a different side of you. This may have caused a sense of dissonance over time. The oncoming week might bring you opportunities to make peace with where you’re currently at on your journey, while still knowing that it does not impact the overall value of that which you bring to life.

With all of that in mind, this week lends us several chances to reconcile and make things right within ourselves. Utilize any moment you have to begin reconnecting. Spring is upon us and this is the fresh start you may have been asking for. Mind you, it may not come easily or with a big pretty bow, but it’s a start regardless. Make the most of this time and see where it takes you in the oncoming months. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. Have a blessed week! :) - Lilith Jane

Weekly Tarot 3/4/24 - 3/10/24

The Moon, King of Cups, 5 of Swords + The Lovers

Hello everyone! This week gives us an opportunity at finding greater harmony and union within ourselves. While many of you may be seeking partnership externally, this energy is guiding us all to journey within to wed our heart and mind, body and spirit. There is not much greater comfort than to know ourselves fully and intimately. While it’s true that some things cannot be healed or learned except through our connections, there is plenty to be explored whilst we are on our own.

The Moon shows up this week to remind us that it is important to nurture our sensitivities and allow ourselves to feel the love from within. Practice being more in tune and receptive of your own feelings this week. Sometimes sitting with our emotions is the best way to get to know ourselves. If you are someone that often seeks quality time from others, try spending some time with yourself fully present and engaged with anything that inspires you. The more you allow yourself to be still, the more opportunities you have to learn the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) nuances of the way your body is trying to communicate with you.

As you continue on your journey within, the King of Cups tells us that emotional awareness is a choice. It is something you work at with intent and commitment. Like anything else in life, there is a certain level of responsibility that you must take into account as you work towards making space for the life you wish to experience. You practice until it becomes second nature, and you don’t just quit when you “get there”. Part of this journey is to see if you are willing to commit and keep promises to yourself. You are no longer just taking things at face value. This week will give you opportunities to advocate for yourself and what you confidently seek.

On that note, it seems that many of you may be faced with the opportunity to mend the trust that you could have broken with yourself before. The 5 of Swords often appears when there is some sort of internal conflict. Many of you may have felt an increase in doubt or fear over the last several weeks without realizing that perhaps it was due to you simply being out of alignment. When we are at war with ourselves, we can sometimes lose sight of what is true. Start off with small things and try not to become too overwhelmed. When you can build solid trust with yourself, you also learn what it means to build trust with others gradually over time. 

Lastly, The Lovers is a reflection of what it means to be in a peaceful relationship with ourselves and with another. If you find that you are struggling to make progress in certain connections, look to it as an opportunity or a lesson for further self-development. This does not mean that you must internalize everything as some fault of your own. Life is consistently communicating with you, and part of this journey is learning how to decipher its unique language in a way that makes sense to YOU. Your relationship to yourself (and your partners, friends, family, spouse, etc.) is based on how you relate with values, feelings, and actions. Many of you may realize this week that you have not been giving yourself enough attention and this weekend’s New Moon in Pisces is the perfect chance to return to inner union. Have a blessed week! :) - Lilith Jane

Seven of Wands, Page of Wands, Page of Swords

Hello everyone! Some of you might find that the energy of this coming week might be a bit more challenging. Perhaps it may feel as if your gut instincts and your mind are squaring off to really push you to utilize all of your resources to navigate the murky waters. But if you have been practicing being more intentional about your decisions over the previous weeks, things are sure to come toward a smooth ending during the weekend.

For many, this week might consistently push you to step up to bat although you may hesitate. This is truly to your benefit in order to prepare you for the next phase of your life. The Seven of Wands gives you a chance of taking initiative despite what others might expect of you. This could feel very uncomfortable if you’ve consistently played the role of the people pleaser. Sometimes the only way to make a bit of progress is to forge ahead knowing that others might hold resentment against you. More often than not, this has nothing to do with you. Wish them the best and move on ahead.

As you progress through the week, the Page of Wands signals a period of learning through trial and error. You may not always get it “right”, and this week may be no different than the last in terms of your routines, situations, and environments. However, what you choose to do and how you choose to respond will have an impact in the long run. The sooner you allow yourself to fail and make mistakes, the sooner you’ll have the wisdom to move forward and through the wild and unexpected obstacles that might lie ahead. 

Perfectionism has a cost and it only prolongs the amount of time between where you are now and the person you aim to be in the future. Some of you are very gifted in means of communication and intellect, yet you could lack the confidence in allowing yourself to show up and be present amongst your peers. The Page of Swords could signify that perhaps during some part of your life, you might have depended on being the life of the party. As time has passed and you have grown, your methods of crowd pleasing are no longer sufficient. This does not mean that you’re doing something wrong. This is an incredible opportunity for growth and mastery. It’s time to engage in new topics or interests that nourish your spirit.

As you navigate your way through this week, try to allow the person that you are now to meet the person that you are growing to be. Let them spend time together and allow yourself to be open to new ways of existing. Just as getting to know a new friend can be thrilling or life changing, getting to know this unexplored part of yourself can also be enriching. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. Have a blessed week! :) - Lilith Jane

Any Means Necessary Tarot by Shawn Coss

Weekly Tarot 2/19/24 - 2/25/24

The Sun, 7 of Presents (Pentacles), 5 of Potions (Cups) + Libra

“Everything in moderation.” This week leading up to our Full Moon in Virgo will give us an opportunity to really tap into what it feels like to be at ease. Many of you may be feeling the pressure to get out of your current situations and experiences by means of disassociation or escapism. When you’ve had your fun, you are met with the stark contrast of your current state of affairs. And as mentioned in previous weeks, there is a consistent question of “When will things change?” and “When will I get there?”. You might find yourself looping back around to the same cycle of feeling the burst of inspiration that then leads to the slow lull of demand avoidance brimming. The pattern eventually will come to a halt, but only once you take initiative to do something differently. A new road is not built without effort.

With The Sun making its appearance this week, we are guided to embrace our long forgotten joys. In order to find the energy to press onward, it usually helps when we have something to look forward to. The ultimate end goal. Whether the results unfold in the exact way we envision or not isn’t entirely in our control, we do have the option to take aligned action that guides us in a new way. What dreams, goals, stories, activities etc make you feel well? Find ways to connect the actions you’re taking to the pathways that will allow you to enjoy more of the positive things in your life. Practice building and investing more into what truly nurtures your spirit.

On that same note, the 7 of Presents (Pentacles) is a reminder of gratitude. We hear it so often that we tend to scoff or overlook the idea. But when we remind ourselves of what we already have, it makes it THAT much easier to accumulate even more because we are already building on top of a foundation. Many of you have been working diligently over the last several months on restructuring your inner and outer world. As time has passed, you may have begun to realize that you might not need much to feel abundance. And for others, you may have realized that you’ve been settling for crumbs when you could really experience richness in unfathomable ways.

5 of Potions (Cups) gives us the opportunity of perception. We can acknowledge our lack and losses, but still honor the fact that we might have more than someone else. We might be in a better situation now, but still struggle in other areas of our lives. More than two things can be true at once. It’s the beauty of the human experience. At the end of the day, it’s how we condition ourselves to see our experiences. Of course, there will always be things outside of our control. The magic is that no matter what the external realm may try to make you believe, you can choose to honor your own experience by making choices in alignment with who you are at any moment in time.

Lastly, the Libra card is a great example of the inevitability of ebb and flow in our lives.  Many of you might struggle with the ideal of perfection and how conditions must be a certain way in order for you to take action or be well. Commitment to the outcome with diligence will lead you up the mountain faster than merely wishing your way up there. Libra is a sign that is associated with scales often representing two polarizing forces. There are not many people who have not experienced some kind of struggle or discomfort during a part of their lives. This gives us a point of reference to know what is and is not good for us. What does peace feel like? Pay attention to how you feel throughout this week. What are your emotions and body trying to tell you? What decisions can you begin to make that will allow you moments of ease?

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. I hope you all have a wonderful Full Moon week. Be blessed :) -Lilith Jane
