Welcome back! I say to both of us.
I felt this nudge from the universe to take last week off and just observe. The vibes lately? Weirdly tense but also kind of calm—like that eerie quiet before something loud and intense happens.
I’m the type of person who needs to know things. You can’t start a sentence around me and not finish it, especially if you’re holding back. I’ll know and it'll bother me, so just get it over with. Right now, it feels like a lot of us are right on the edge of some incredible shift. We’re already in the waiting room, and let me tell you, that’s my least favorite place to be.
I know something’s coming, but I guess I’m not supposed to know what it is just yet. It actually feels like my angels are toying with me. (Honestly, it’s typical given they apparently show up as bunnies—playful little things.)
But they’re also super protective—especially one I’ve recently become acquainted with: Archangel Michael.
He’s been around way longer than I even realized, and knowing he’s been protecting me all this time brings me a lot of peace.
Even though I’m dying to know what’s next, I’m finally feeling okay with just...waiting. For once, I’ve had the space and time to chill without feeling guilty about it. I’ve strengthened my connection with myself and made some major improvements in my healing journey. It feels like I’m being prepped for whatever’s coming, and I know I can’t rush that process. After a few crazy weeks, I’m ready for some downtime.
Now that I’m back, I’ve got a new reading, and it’s wild how it lines up with the exact thoughts I woke up with this morning. So, let’s dive in!
Crazy note: Angel numbers have been following me around like CRAZY lately, anybody else? As of the past few months, the number 144 has shown up way more frequently and apparently, it’s tied to the angels? Well, I just noticed (at 12:34 pm) that this video, after edits, is 1 minute 44 seconds long…coincidence?
6 of Cups Reversed
I’m starting with this card because, with the way the cards revealed themselves, it feels like they’re solving a puzzle. I just have to begin with the problem, so let’s dive in! cue the dramatic music.
The Suit of Cups represents our emotions—everything to do with love, feelings, relationships, and connections. When we talk about the Six of Cups, the image shows a nostalgic interaction with a child, symbolizing memories and the past. But here's the twist: when this card is reversed, it signals that the past is holding us back, trapping us in a stagnant place.
This week, you might find yourself stuck on old memories or unresolved issues—whether it’s childhood trauma, a past relationship, or decisions you wish you’d made differently. You could be romanticizing how things used to be, or maybe there’s a lesson buried there that you haven’t fully grasped yet. Either way, now’s the time to feel it all—process those emotions, heal, release, and let it go.
Sticking to this path means resisting the change you need, so take action, do the work, and move forward!
Here are some questions to reflect on:
What part of my past am I holding onto that’s not allowing space for my future?
What continues to reappear in my life or take space in my thoughts even though I work to release it?
Are there any past situations that I’m looking at through rose-colored glasses? Am I ready to accept the reality of them?
What lesson might I find in past decisions I regret, and how can I apply them to my present?
Take some time to journal on these questions or simply reflect as you move through your week. The past is a great teacher, but it’s not meant to be a home!
Power Deck: 13—Feminine
The message of this card couldn’t be clearer than it’s last sentence:
Feminine consciousness is the energy that embodies the wisdom you need at this moment.
As a card from the West, it speaks to our emotional world. The artwork, Rob Schouten’s In the Garden of Eve, features tree-women “dreaming the Earth alive”, symbolizing the feminine spirit, and butterflies representing growth and transformation.
This week, the call is to bring balance to the masculine energy in our lives by embracing the divine feminine—and yes, that applies to everyone, men included!
To restore harmony, it’s time to release the hustle and embrace the flow of attracting, resting, reflecting, and nurturing. Dive into your favorite self-care rituals and reconnect with Mother Nature—this might be the key to finding balance within yourself this week.
On a bigger scale, it’s a great time to tap into the feminine energy around you. Plan a get-together with your girls, or bond with the women in your family—whether it’s your aunties, mothers, or grandmothers—just ensure these are nurturing connections. And if it’s not with women, connect with the men in your life who pour into you as well! Also, be mindful of your body—nourish it with healthy food, gentle movement, and focus on relaxation over constant action.
Ideas for this week:
Start your day with a calming meditation, prayer, or stretch routine.
Call or spend time with the women who nurture you, or reach out to female friends you haven’t connected with in a while.
Express your creativity: listen to/play music, sing, sculpt, dance, draw, paint, read, write!
Indulge in a self-care ritual—whether it’s a bath, skincare, or journaling session focused on your emotions.
Embrace relaxation and quiet time, allowing yourself to attract and reflect rather than chase and force outcomes.
Cuddle with your pets, children, and any loved one that’ll enjoy it too.
Get outside and reconnect with nature—whether that’s a walk in the park or simply grounding your feet in the earth.
Enjoy some comfort food: whichever cuisine that is for you!
As soon as I pulled these cards, I knew they were speaking directly to me—I woke up with these same thoughts on my mind.
Lately, I’ve been exploring the possibility of being clairaudient, paying attention to the thoughts I find repeating in my head. Even though I rarely remember my dreams, I’ve been waking up with clear messages lately—angel numbers, important dates, and today, the theme of forgiveness. This theme has been a major focus in therapy, but today it hit differently. I felt called to do a releasing ritual specifically to forgive myself for the decisions I made in the past, especially in relationships and friendships I’ve struggled to let go of.
I realize I’ve been holding onto these memories partly because my neurodivergence makes me process relationships deeply, but also because I’ve carried a lot of shame and guilt. I’ve always strived to be a “good” friend, girlfriend, and person, but looking back, I see that I was doing my best with what I knew at the time—just like everyone else. It’s easy to judge ourselves in hindsight, but the truth is, I’ve always acted with kindness and love, and that counts for so much.
Just as I offer compassion to others, I’m learning to extend that same forgiveness to myself. It’s freeing to stop trying to rewrite my story or fix my mistakes. Sometimes, things can stay messy, and that’s okay. I’m finally letting myself move on because the past doesn’t define me—my future looks so different, so full of potential.
And this ties perfectly back to the message of the cards this week: the reversed Six of Cups reminds us that clinging to the past holds us in a stagnant place. It’s time to release old wounds, forgive ourselves, and create space for growth. As we embrace the divine feminine energy, we’re being called to nurture ourselves, reflect, and let go of the resistance that’s keeping us stuck. There’s so much waiting for us on the other side of forgiveness and release.
What are you reflecting on releasing this week?
