If you expect things to go according to the usual plans, be prepared for disappointment. Thanks to Mercury Retrograde and the eclipse this week, we have the opportunity for a period of rapid expansion, requiring so much more foundation-building and introspection than we can perceive with the human mind.

Stop trying to figure it out from a place of panic. Let the answer reveal itself, like a seed sprouting. As it expands, it naturally unfolds and bursts through its protective shell. So, too, you are naturally unfolding to support your inner growth. It’s okay to let it happen.

This is a time in which your connections are rearranging. If you feel disconnected from people you would normally have an easy surface-level connection with, it is because deeper connections to Source are taking precedence. Continue being pleasant and acting in good faith, offering grace to yourself and others. Remember to work in silence.

The Mountain, followed by The Hermit, recalls the story of Moses going into Mt. Sinai to commune with God and get the Ten Commandments. This was after he had led a whole bunch of people out into the middle of nowhere. He had already had the burning bush moment and followed his passion to free people from a bad situation. He had already done great things and gotten a name for himself doing them.

Sometimes we think that enlightenment or healing is a one-time thing, that we just magically have the stamina and strength to do everything forever after, no need for further care. The fabled Dark Night of the Soul can only happen once, and if we are ever tired or unhappy afterward, we didn’t really heal. This idea is ridiculous. True success and longevity demand regular and measured periods of healing along the way. When one major project finishes, we must take time to rest before starting the next one.

The Sun rises and sets every day. Why do we not believe we must also set for a while?

If you are tired, build in some rest. If you are uncomfortable around people, prioritize alone time. Drop any tendency to please people by over-giving, and enforce some reasonable boundaries. Yes, if you feel you can commit to something, do so. If not, state your intent in plenty of time for other arrangements to be made. You are allowed to say no in a cheery and practical manner. Any shame or guilt that arises is surfacing in order to be cleared.

Now is the time to clear out the clutter and allow your direction to reset. Let yourself rest and imagine the next leg. You will have energy to move when it is time.

Much love to you. This week is going to be great!

Five major arcana in this spread point to some major changes happening. This is part of the path you’re on, and therefore, it is necessary to experience it. If you have recently gone through something traumatic, you may be processing old patterns and old hurts now so that you can reach for better tools going forward.

Because this experience is necessary, it is also doable. Lean on your support network. Reach out before it gets dire. You have learned through other intense periods that it is better to anticipate and plan for your needs than to find yourself stranded on a desert highway with an empty gas tank and a dead phone battery. You survived it before, yes, but it wasn’t pretty.

Maybe you’re not in crisis when you first start thinking of reaching out. Don’t deny yourself the help you know you need. Getting support at the first sign of trouble will keep it from getting bad. Denying yourself help early before was a self-punishment, a replay of neglect you experienced. You thought that since someone else didn’t take it seriously, your needs weren’t serious. You beat yourself up for needing and not getting. You know better now.

You know that you deserve grace, love, and community. You know that you are deeply and irrevocably loved–and worthy. You also know that sometimes a problem seems bigger than it is when you are too afraid to face it head-on. You can get through anything, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Avoid the big issues by attacking them when they are small.

If you are afraid of people letting you down, consider this: the Universe brings you what you need always, but you only accept what you think you deserve. And if the answer is no from one person, that’s a redirection to something better. Keep trying. Keep being optimistic about things happening at the right time, with the right people. Your insistence and patience in pursuit of what you need is proof that you are handling this better, and having more hope than before.

Regardless of how you respond, your response is evidence of where you’re at in your path. Any deficit is merely information on how far you are, like a point on a map. The end is the same, you are the same amazing person who is going to cross that finish line and succeed. It is okay to be frustrated or mess up. Everyone starts at the beginning and ends at the end.

You always have what you truly need available to you. It only seems like you don’t because you didn’t get what you wanted in the exact way you imagined it. Let go of what you think it should be, and embrace what is, knowing that there is always a perfect solution. You are capable of everything you need to do.

Did this resonate? I read weekly for my collective and post them here, as well as send them out in my weekly emails. Sign up for my mailing list here. Have a great week!

“It’s all coming together,” is what I’m hearing. Out of many moving parts, working in harmony, your life is taking shape.

The symbol of the circle is present in every card, pointing to the way your journey comes “full circle” this week–and continues to move in perfect harmony to create more light and more circles. Your path is like a spirograph picture, intricate, delicate, and perfectly aligned.

Be satisfied with the incomplete things. If your journey were complete now, it would be the end of it, and life is a precious gift that goes on for you. You will never find full completion so long as you’re alive.

Maybe that’s why you long for the ending, sometimes. You crave completion and a solid finality. The unknown has been seen as a risk for deviating from the pattern, but it isn’t. You’re not coloring outside the lines, nor is your orbit straying from its course. It’s just more complicated than you initially supposed. You need to separate the hoped-for end result from the bitterness of death. The journey is the destination, and the destination is the journey. You cannot go back to nothingness at this time and be satisfied, because you are meant to experience this contrast now. Your soul craves this experience.

Expect change, knowing that every change that happens is for the better and worth everything it has taken. This is the Hero’s Journey, to come to a place of deep understanding and fierce love of oneself in the midst of every situation. When you are unshakeable in your self-love, you will see love for you everywhere. Allow these last vestiges of “not good enough” and “incomplete” to burn away and reveal the mighty warrior inside. It is time for you to be who you really are.

The celebration of who you really are and what you are here to do can only truly be seen when you lean fully into it and see yourself truly. When you hold the vision, you express your truth with such a loud roaring voice that the world has no choice but to hear it, too. When you feel your own warmth, the world warms, too. The nuclear power that lights stars is within you, burning and roiling with a glory that cannot be dimmed no matter how many light-years of darkness it travels through. No light is ever wasted. When a ray of light goes out without hitting anything, it is meant to go forth and touch the farthest part of the Universe, in due time. You are seen and heard by the far reaches of the known and unknown All That Is.

Shine your light in this world. You are needed. Your light and warmth are necessary. And you are not the only one. Together, we create a paradise to live in now. It’s all coming together perfectly.

This week is another facet of exploring personal power. There are some things you can control. And then there are things you simply cannot. You need to choose whether you believe everything is conspiring for or against you, and run with it. The Universe runs in a very different way from the one we were taught in school. Things happen without our conscious knowledge all the time. We align with certain things and fall out of alignment with others. Each thing we align with gives us a new perspective on the Universe. It’s like playing parts in a theater, and seeing through different characters’ eyes.

You need to remember who you are, and that you are bigger than this tiny human body you’re in. You also need to remember that if you work with your innate self, instead of fighting against it, you will be much more effective in getting what you want. The time for big changes and breakthroughs is now, but the finer timing and nature of these changes depends on how easily you flow with them. Don’t be afraid of your good coming to you. Look for the ways in which you stand to benefit in all circumstances. Look for the simplified path if the complicated stuff exhausts you.

You can’t hold onto the cliff face under the waterfall and not expect to get battered. Ride the white water with loose muscles, and relax into it. This can be the most fun ride of your existence. The difference between excitement and terror is hope. If you expect everything to turn out right, the sudden drop off the edge is exhilarating. If you expect death, the sudden drop is seen as a precursor to pain and loss. Keep coming back to hope.

Spoiler alert: your life is continuing to get really good for you, and yes, it will all turn out right for you. Everything is going according to divine plan. You are doing well, and the Universe is working tirelessly behind the scenes to coordinate this ride for you. Your job is simply to let loose and enjoy the ride.

Welcome to Meteorological Autumn! With fruit ripening and the weather turning cooler, this is a great time to reflect on what you have accomplished during the last three seasons.

You have manifested beautiful opportunities for yourself. With faith, courage, determination, and grit, you decided that what you truly wanted in life was important enough to pursue. You dreamed and worked and left things behind. Now you get to take more steps to make your desires fully happen.

The allegory of the garden is showing up this week. With the attainment of the old (9 of Earth/Pentacles), a new dream began. You dreamed of a beautiful garden full of new, fulfilling options. Choices were called in. Seeds were sown. You had an idea of what you were planting, but until it sprouts you can never truly know what you’re growing.

The Lovers is traditionally a card signifying choosing between two appealing options, binding yourself to one, and creating harmony between yourself and the one you chose. Both options will lead to a long-term commitment and change your path forever. This will change you innately, as you grow together with your chosen path, people, etc. This is big stuff.

The Heirophant card invites you to trust and follow your inner guidance system. Even if you don’t know why you want something or what exactly you need in every aspect, when you set the intention to have everything work out to your highest good, your gut tells you to choose the options that will make that happen.

If you make a choice that gives you something undesirable, it is showing you contrast so that you can change course. It’s okay to explore. It’s okay to move slowly. You don’t have to be married to every choice you make; give it a few dates to make up your mind.

Sometimes a leap of faith is required before you see or know something. When you step into the unknown, you will see many new things. Choose the ones that seem best to you.

A helpful mantra for this moment: I always make the best choices for me.

In the end, staying still is the only option that will truly harm you. Make your choices, honor your mistakes as learning opportunities, and choose to love and accept yourself regardless.

You’ve got this. Keep going. The journey is just as fulfilling and important as the destination.
