General Reading for August 6-12: The Finish Line

What good is emotional maturity if you never use it?

All the work you have been doing lately to build up your own character has been a means to an end–although it is nice to recall that growth is the goal of the journey in some ways. But that is beside the point. Right now, the Universe of Light urges you to give in to your deep desire to complete the task at hand.

Do the work. Complete the goal. Close the deal. You have been so weary of always searching and never finding. You have been painting a mural but losing sight of the blueprint. It’s as if you have gotten so lost in the weeds that you cannot remember what it feels like to know where you’re at. That mindset has its place in the long slog, but not at the finish line.

You are in sight of the finish line. In the past, you have relied on people cheering you from the sidelines, holding your vision as you trudged on blind. Now, you must awaken your inner vision and let it ignite you again. Remember why you started this in the first place. Remember what it feels like to succeed. You need that feeling to cross the finish line. Open your inner eyes and focus on the goal. It’s nice to have people cheering, but remember that you were the one who asked them to come cheer, not the other way around. Give them a good show.

The Universe knows you’re tired. It has witnessed every step you’ve taken. All it asks is that you set aside the tiredness and focus on the energy within you. Remember: you are an infinite being. You put on tiredness like a coat. You can take it off, when you reconnect with your Highest Self. You can put on any mood or energy in the Universe, without having your circumstances reflect it in the least. You just have to find the frequency or feeling of what you want.

In order to find the frequency, do something you love. You may be out of routine, or far away from something that you normally have at your fingertips. Spend that time you have been obligated to take cooling your heels doing what you can. Instead of moping about missed opportunities or a messed up schedule, check off your to do list in other ways. Find the aspect(s) of your life that you’ve been neglecting, and put your suddenly free energies to good use. Don’t waste time. Charge forward. This is the sprint at the end of the race, and it’s going to feel different. When you get across that finish line, that feeling is going to change again.

Maybe you can’t believe there are different ways to feel just yet, but remember that belief is what you have when you don’t know. And remember that there are people who have already crossed their finish lines and know how possible it is. Just because you can’t see it from here doesn’t mean it’s imaginary. Go prove that belief right.

General Reading for July 30-August 5: Full Moon Release of the Wounded Ego

This week the moon becomes full, which both prompts us to release and gives us the energy to do so. Like the tide rising higher with every wave, the volume on our Highest Selves’ connection to our current Selves is turning up, and we are encouraged more and more loudly to pay attention.

Pick up the phone, already. The message and messenger aren’t as scary as you’re assuming them to be. Honestly, your Highest Self just wants you to be happy. It wants you to act like you, to be authentic, and to shed your light in this world. It wants everything to feel delicious to you.

It’s time to let go of the things that hold you back. You have heard this message before, and you have done well shedding the layers you were ready to shed. The Death Card is just another loop in your upward spiral. It’s not some earth-shattering sacrifice, or some catastrophic event. It’s just you, realizing ways to be more happy on a level that you will be relieved to FINALLY feel the success of.

It is time to discard the drama. If your entire journey felt like a series of huge transformations, you would burn out and not want to experience it. The changes could feel scary as you face the unknown from a position of utter ungroundedness and uncertainty. This is one mindset you can definitely shed with this full moon.

The art of trusting the next step to be exactly what you need, and for it to be pleasant, if surprising, is a necessary skill for long-term success. Success doesn’t have to be fraught with peril and adventure; it can be slow, steady progress, with the assurance that all will be well, is well, and has been well.

This next step feels like coming home. It may feel a bit foreign from what you have experienced recently, but the gut reaction is, “I can’t believe I forgot how good this feels.”

This is next step is a homecoming. The people and places and packages and letters that collected while you were away are so happy to see you.

It is time to learn again how to receive in a way that does not feel like pain or paying for it later. I was thinking about how this feels like the Knight of Cups on his way home, carefully holding his precious chalice which he filled on his journey, and sure enough, when I checked the card spread again, we have Water Brother, the equivalent of the Knight of Cups.

The difference is that Water Brother depicts a surrender to full-body feeling akin to a Kundalini experience. There is this sense of unstoppable, glorious flow of energy. It purifies the entirety of one’s being, and washes away wounded ego as it proclaims to the world, “I AM.” This healed, perfect ego, is so large, so magnetic, and so prolific that the physical vessel cannot contain it. It identifies as Self, but looks and acts like Universe. It is a glorious paradox.

The longer you resist, the more blatantly you are shown that, step by step, you have come home to your true nature, your true connection to All That Is. Might as well just accept it at this point, dear one. We need you to focus on bigger things now, as doing so will feed not only your soul, but the souls of all around you. We are happy to have you home.

General Reading for July 23-29: Level Up

9 of Water, or 9 of Cups, is all about counting the things you have already attained in order to change your personal narrative. There is a lot here saying to let go of the negative stories you tell about your life, let go of any identities or boxes you’ve put yourself or had other people put you in. Your personal power lies in your ability to assess what you have and use it accordingly.

“Change the narrative, change the game.” What is your objective in life? How have you succeeded in it? Are you yearning for something new, and how have you been prepared to receive it already? Sometimes the skills we learned in one job prepare us for the job we haven’t applied for yet. Skills learned in a low-pay job can translate into skills needed for a higher-pay job.

The Magician says that you already have the skills needed, but maybe you haven’t categorized them as such yet. Need 5 years’ experience in problem-solving? Turns out you have ten, when looking at it from another perspective. Need a good reference? Look at your coworkers and previous supervisors and how you positively contributed to their work flow. Put your assets into play and be proud of where you came from. 9 of Cups in Rider-Waite shows a man with 9 cups behind him, celebrating his legacy in his accomplishments. 9 is the end of a cycle, an invitation to dream bigger now that you have accomplished this level.

Fear is what is holding you back. Fear, and an outmoded perspective that needs to be rewritten. This is a week for pursuit, knowing that every step you take leads you further along your path, knowing that even the steps that seem to be in opposing directions are leading you forward. Everything that is happening is happening to lead you forward, no matter how it looks. Contrast shows you what you don’t want, which helps you know what you want even better.

If you get overwhelmed, take some time to reconnect with your Higher Self. Find inner stillness and breathe it into your body. From there it will percolate into your life naturally. Everything is happening for your highest good in some way. Trust that and find the silver lining. You are succeeding now, you will succeed in future, and you have been succeeding all along. Your objective and expectation is the thing that has changed.

General Reading for the Week of July 16-22: Believe and Ask

I’m hearing the words, “uprooting a mountain,” and judging by the sheer amount of change that these cards describe (um, hello, The Tower), it makes sense. You are uprooting mountains of habit energy, mountains of misconceptions, mountains of disbelief. You are doing so because this is not the time for climbing or going around the mountains. Anything other than moving them out of the way simply isn’t fast enough or efficient enough for what you are accomplishing.

The numerology of this reading is very encouraging. Sometimes, when we look for confirmation that we are on the right track, we get inundated with 111, 1111, 123, or something along those lines. This week we are in 8-9-10 on the wheel, and the hub of the wheel is another 10. We have The Empress, and The Tower, and on the left the guiding card is the Master card for this deck, symbolizing the Warrior’s Journey to self-discovery and self-mastery. Whatever you have been working towards for the last several years, the Universe wants you to know that you are THIS close. All you have left to do is believe so deeply, and so purely, that you finally utter the words, “Mountain, move over there.” And when you do, it will move. It has no other option. When you believe and feel and act in harmony with all of yourself and the Universe, you are the most powerful being in existence.

This really is your time to tap into that God Source within you and perform miracles. You can because it is right. You can because you must. The Universe wants you to do what you want so badly that it has been giving you years of instruction, preparation, and gifts, in order to help you become the best version of you needed to do this. What you want wants you.

With that in mind, if you feel like you need something else in the moment, ask, and quiet your heart and mind so that you can hear the answers. But again, at this point, your own mountain of worry is what is holding you back, hence the call to move it. You have all the answers and resources you need at your fingertips. Go to the pantry, open the door, and take what you need.

How Do General Tarot Readings Work?

If you have been on TikTok or another video platform and you like tarot, chances are you’ve seen people giving general readings. These apply to a certain collective, and are usually given the disclaimer, “Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t.” But how does a general reading work? And can it really apply to several individuals?

Short answer: yes. Let me explain how.

Imagine you are making a painting or a mural. You have a general sketch that you put up on the canvas, and you fill it in from there. Depending on how many people are painting, you may have one or several color palettes. When the picture is finished, it more or less resembles the sketch, but better, more vibrant, and more nuanced than it appeared at first.

A general reading is much like a collective mural. The sketch is recorded in the collective energy, and as the reader connects with that energy, the message comes alive. Depending on how many people are connected to it, the perspective and the wording may change, but at the end of the day, it’s going to be the same picture.

So why should you tune into a collective reading versus a personal reading?

A personal reading is unique to you, but because you are part of a collective, you can find applications from a general reading. You can also gain insight from someone else’s perspective from a general reading. The term “rose-colored glasses” has a negative connotation, but it is the closest trope I can think of to describe what it’s like to look at the world from another’s eyes. When we see a problem from many angles, not only do we feel less alone, but we also gain the wisdom of others’ perspectives.

A general tarot reading is a collaboration of different people experiencing the same things from different angles. Astrology is a helpful means of grouping people together based on what they came to Earth to experience. Star Seeds are another helpful grouping. Brain types, LGBTQ+ labels, socio-economic demographics… all these things can help us understand who and where we are in the Universe, which then gives us people to associate with who look like we do. It can be an incredibly valuable thing, fitting into a group. But in the end, your journey is all your own, your labels do not fully define you, and your choices determine your path far more than any situation or grouping you have been given.

A collective reading is an efficient way of giving information to multiple people. A personal reading is tailored to you. Both are great tools to understand yourself, your world, and your path.
