Today we are looking at the moon in Aquarius, and the new moon peaks tonight! For all of you with plans tonight, don’t forget and don’t forget to get your moon water all ready.

Today is the Ten of Wands. I think this card is very fitting as we move into the peak of the new moon tonight. Tens are the completion of the cycle and Wands represent actions. We are at the end of our cycle of previous actions.

Today, let’s let go of the actions that no longer serve us. Something I know I have been negligent of is showing gratitude in all things. I think today is a good day for me to let go of not being mindful and grateful for all that has brought me to this point in life.

Maybe today is a good day to let go of a bad habit, or to let go of even a neutral habit. Maybe we have a neutral habit like drinking just enough water to get by, but not be fully hydrated, or using our phones in bed; something not entirely detrimental but not serving us in any way. Let’s let go of some habits and start building new ones.

Good morning, everyone! Today the moon stays in Aquarius, and today is a good day for various yard work ,according to my handy Farmer’s Almanac. Let’s see what else today holds for us.

Today is the Eight of Pentacles. We know that Pentacles represent the material and wealth. Eights represent change and attainment.

Today, we are changing the way we see or get material wealth. Maybe this means a new job opportunity, a lose bill on the ground, a new path towards financial freedom. We should be open to whatever comes our way. Perhaps an inheritance, your tax return, a refund on a bill you paid where you were accidentally overcharged. We should be open to new opportunities to give ourselves financial freedom and be open to creating more paths of financial attainment. Maybe this means a side-gig doing something only you can do, an opportunity for overtime, or even just a raise.

Today’s card is the Hierophant. The Hierophant is a finicky card; almost every other Major Arcana card is named with words we know innately, or have knowledge of from just general use, such as Judgement (we know what judgement means as a word, right?) So what does ‘hierophant’ mean? Knowing that a hierophant was a priest in Ancient Greece. Knowing this alone, we can now make our intentions known of the Hierophant.

When he shows up, we should be mindful of guidance and welcome the guidance that comes from other sources. The Hierophant is the bridge between the known and the unknown. For some of us, this means he can bridge us to our spirit guides, if we follow that school. For others of us, that may mean that he can guide us through the mysteries that surround us, or make us more open to the mysterious ‘signs’ the universe sends us. He is the interpreter of the unknown and is here to give us the guidance from the unknown.

Today, we should welcome any signs that come our way. Maybe this is a detour sign through a part of town you’ve never been in, or maybe this is a sign from ourselves to change our lives in some way. We should trust our intuition and our guides to give us the answers we’ve been looking for, or even the answers we didn’t know we were looking for.

I’ve missed you all so much! The last few months have absolutely killed me and I finally have control of my sleep schedule now! I’m so excited to be getting more than a few hours of sleep a day and having a more consistent work schedule. For now.

We still haven’t made it through our deck, but thank you for sticking around in spite of my life’s ups and downs. Hopefully as the next few months play out, we’ll get through this deck and then hopefully the next deck too! (This is honestly just an excuse to keep buying a bunch of decks)

Today’s card is the Ten of Swords. This is a great card for us today; it’s the end of of the cycle of thoughts. We’ve hit the calendar new year, we’ve hit witchy new year, it’s time for us to really begin a new train of thought.

Maybe this means learning how to stop negative self talk, maybe this means learning how to stop negative habits, or maybe even just stopping negative practices in your life. Putting aside how last year was, and how this year has started, it’s okay to start your own new chapter in your book.

Get the closure you need to stop doubting yourself, to stop talking down to yourself. I myself have had a lot of trouble the last year about negative self-talk. I know some of my negative self-talk has come from a place where I feel inadequate and like I’m not living up to my true potential. But I think this is a good time of year to stop talking to myself like that and remember that, last year was not a good measure of progress for anyone considering that last year was plagued by injustice and, well, actual plague.

Let’s forgive ourselves for the thoughts we’ve had and focus on making new ones as the year is fresh and we have a lot of time to make new mistakes and learn new lessons.

My little gremlin heart is so excited for today’s card in that dark kind of way. With everything happening for the election today, we are standing at a massive crossroads and we need to focus our energies on making sure that we are doing the best we can to keep ourselves safe, our loved ones safe, and that we’ve done our part as adults to try to change this country. No matter the results, this is a turning point and the next FOUR years are going to bring change into our lives.

And I didn’t even need a Tarot card for that!

But today’s card is Death! Now, the experienced reader (or at least those who know better than to trust the face value of the card), know this card does not inherently represent death.

The Death card is the 14th card in the Major Arcana cycle. While the name may be a little deceiving, Death is like the The Devil; they may seem scary at first but they represent parts of the human life that we need to have. Death represents major changes. Death can also represent figurative death, like the death of a cycle, the death of an idea, the death of a habit that didn’t serve you. I love the illustration of this particular deck for death because it is so… revered. Death is depicted as a mother, praying over her crib, instead of the Rider-Waite deck which depicts Death atop his horse clad in armor. This Death is gentle, but ever-present, common, but beautiful. Death should be respected for what it is in all of our lives; a change in you by changing those you can have around you. Death is so common, yet so feared, even though it is so necessary for the energy of the world to flow properly (from a purely scientific view, death is one of the things we need in nature for the environment to thrive; go look up the nitrogen cycle).

Death popping up today of all days isn’t a coincidence. There is so much changing and stirring today and we need to be ready for the changes. Whatever happens, today is the turning point and we have the power to change the future to the way we want it to be. We have the power to call our representatives and demand action, we have the power to call our local governments and demand action, we have the power to help our communities by being there for the less fortunate, being there for those who need a shoulder and for those who just need a friend. We have the power to reduce our own impacts on the environment, we have the power to demand companies change or we will quit buying. We hold all the power and now is the time to use it to change the world.

I’m sure you can see why I was so excited to have pulled this card today of all days.

Spend today enjoying the sun, soaking up the last little bit before it gets to cold to be outside all the time (or for my Southern Hemisphere residents, until summer kicks into high gear). We sit on the cusp, but we can’t make the world spin faster so enjoy a moment of peace before we meet in the trenches to fight for a better world. But tomorrow. Today is for us.

Is anyone else feeling full moon hungover? I didnt even get a chance to make moon water last night! But oh well, there will always be another chance. At least I was able to manifest last night, so the next spooky Halloween blue moon will be even better.

Today is the Three of Pentacles.

Pentacles represent the material world and wealth. Threes represent initial growth and progress.

The Three of Pentacles can represent the growth you’ve had in your wealth and the progress you’ve made towards financial wealth or financial freedom.

While you may be at a point where you’ve noticed a change, remember that there is still much to come. Threes are a long way from the end of the cycle so this is a sign to keep going even though you’ve noticed progress. Keep your nose to the grindstone and keep working hard to achieve your goals.

Everything has been so crazy and honestly, I know I’ve lost focus! I lost focus on what I wanted to do, why I’m doing anything, what I’m trying to accomplish. That’s also why I should focus back on reading Tarot more; Tarot is a great way to keep yourself focused and to get insight onto what you’re focusing on. By taking a few minutes every day to center yourself and find your focus for the day, you can help keep yourself on track. I guess that’s why they say that Tarot should be a daily habit.

Habits are hard to build though, so as long as we make progress, that’s all that counts.

Today’s card is the Fool.

The Fool is the first card of the Major Arcana, and serves as the starting point of the cycle. The Fool symbolizes the way we are all beginners or we started as beginners in some aspect of our lives. The Fool is a headstrong, hopeful figure, keen on getting better.

The Fool showing up today is a great indicator that you are either starting a new journey, or that it is time to start a new journey. Even though it is the middle of the week, there’s never a wrong time to start a new chapter in your life. Whether this means putting yourself out there and looking for a new job, spending time on getting back to school, or just generally starting a new project to make your life better.

While now will be a great time to start a new venture, just remember that the Fool only represents the beginning of the process, and is not the indication that you will succeed. Every journey will have twists and turns and will be different than anyone else’s journey. You may succeed or you may fail, but this is a journey you should still try, to test your limits, your strengths, your passions.

So far, we’ve pulled all of these cards:

I’m so excited for tomorrow I can barely contain myself! Some of my friends even want me to read Tarot for them and I honestly couldn’t have hoped for a better witchy coming out than what I got! I love my friends so much!

But we’re not here about tomorrow, we’re here about today! So let’s get into it.

Today’s card is the Seven of Cups.

Sevens are understanding and faith. Cups are emotions. At first glance, this card makes me want to say ‘Choices, choices galore!’ but something we should all work on is finding the calmest reaction sometimes. We jump headlong into most things and say the first thing we can decide on, but part of growing your intuition is trusting it and letting it speak instead of your heart or mind.

And my intuition is telling me this card is about honoring your past. To me, this chest of cups reminds me of the fancy china cabinet my grandmother has, where she has her nice wedding dishes, her mother’s nice dishes, some random centerpieces collected through the years from aunts and friends and gag gifts. But these cups are dredging up those faint memories of my grandmother asking us to get the nice dishes out for Christmas dinner, and on the days we would polish the silver for her arthritic hands and she would recount stories of her youth and her mother and her aunts.

Now, these memories are wonderful and nostalgic and fill you with that feeling of knowing who you are and where you’ve come from, even if I groaned internally through them as a child.

The veil is the thinnest right now, as we head into those festivals that honor the dead, like Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. So honor your past and remember that even if it was hard and bad and you wouldn’t wish it upon anyone else, it is what has brought you here today, where you can learn from those lessons and become something besides the product of your environment. Honor those who came before you and fought to be here, honor those who gave you love, and honor those that came before you.

Make an altar space today, or create an ancestor altar space where you can give offerings to your ancestors that have brought you to this point. Or take the time to just say thanks to those who have given you the support you needed, like your friends, your family, your mentors and teachers.

We’re getting through this deck and hopefully, baring the inevitable repeat cards we’ll see near the end, we’ll get to see the end before the new years? There’s only around 50 or cards left we haven’t seen so it should go fairly quick!

This month is just flying by. I swear it seems like just yesterday was the start of the month and now we’re on the cusp of Halloween and the blue moon! And I have a Halloween party on Sunday to finish preparing for!

But let’s try to get back into the groove of Tarot and looking at this absolutely lovely cards!

Today is the Five of Wands. Wands are one of those suits we haven’t seen a whole lot of so it’s nice that it’s finally popping back up!

Fives are change or conflict. Wands represent actions.

While the literal translation might be that there will be change in actions, or a conflict, I think the imagery is more telling. We watch a figure lighting matches, but he’s running out in his matchbox. it kind of has the vibe of him almost gleefully wasting his chances. By striking a match that has no purpose, it takes away the chance for the match to be used for what it’s intended. It feels like a foreboding card, warning you against wasting chances that you think will be there in the future.

Maybe that’s just me being a little cynical, but I think we should be wary today of the chances we take thinking that we’ll be able to restart. While you are always able to restart your life at any time, some chances only come around once, like finding your life partner, nailing your dream job, or stumbling across a chance to make new family or friends. While you can always take a chance on another car, another job, another class, another meal, somethings you should take care in the fact that they only come around once and you should cherish those chances, whether taken or lost for the opportunity it gave you.

We’ve pulled a lot of cards now, but we’re no where near the middle of the deck! Luckily that means we have a lot of time left to learn something together from this deck.

It feels like such a long time since I last drew for us all! Between school this semester (ugh, chemistry is just as horrible as I anticipated) and a full work load, I’ve barely had time to even look at my deck. But we’ve still got the rest of the deck to get through and a deck to giveaway!

Today’s card is The Star! We haven’t gotten too many Major Arcana cards into the circulation yet so it’s nice that we keep getting more. Especially since we have to cover them all!

Each Major Arcana card follows through the journey of life, starting the the Fool representing the beginning of life and the journey, and ending at the World, coming full circle. The Star is actually the 18th card in the 22 cards of the Major Arcana. Even though the card says its only the 17th, the cycle starts 0 with the Fool.

The Star is towards the end of the deck and is after we’ve done all our growing and changing after the upheavals of life. The Star represents hope and rebuilding. It actually comes immediately after The Tower in the deck.

So if we’re being told to be hopeful, to rebuild, to look to our future, I think we should remember that this year alone we’ve gone through so much, as a country, a society, and individually. So while we do have a lot we need to focus on for our futures, we should still focus on giving ourselves the hope we need to see in the world.

One of my most favorite quotes is from Avatar: the Last Airbender, from dearly beloved Uncle Iroh; ‘if you only look for the darkness, that is all you will find.’

So let’s be hopeful going into a strenuous and scary time of the year, and even if something falls through, like this dreaded election or your car payment, let’s focus on taking care ourselves and our loved ones through this. Besides, Samhain is coming up and we should celebrate what we have been able to reap from this year’s poor crop.

Take care of each other out there, witchlings!

Let me know what you all think in the comments.

The last couple days have been a whirlwind of me practicing some beginner-level feng shui, which really means I’ve just been moving a bunch of shit around my house. Gotta get those vibes right. Luckily my office space is almost perfect and then I’m going to get some of the witchiest decor my minimum wage ass can afford!

Today’s card is the Five of Pentacles. Looks like somehow, with all the Pentacles I’ve pulled in the last month, there still more Pentacles. Gonna pull like the 23 of Pentacles tomorrow.

Pentacles are materialism and wealth. Fives represent conflict and change. Even in the imagery of this card, we can see a figure walking over a pile of skulls, with some being green and more square that the rest of the skulls. I think the green skulls are supposed to be like art or sculptures of skulls, as they do not exactly have the same roundness as the other skulls pictured. Sculptures and art are usually a sign of wealth; if you are wealthy, you can afford to have fine art in your house, which shows that you have money to blow on the nonessentials of life (housing, food, etc.).

I’m kind of torn on how to interpret this card.

On one hand, I’m draw to the meaning as being don’t be a greedy asshole; don’t walk over others on the path to wealth and financial freedom. Like, don’t walk over others that are in the same position as you and don’t overly hoard your resources so that others cannot have any. But that could be me riding the emotional high of Election Season (scary than spooky season).

On the other hand, I’m reading this as indulge in some art for your space! I know it seems counterintuitive, but maybe we need to invest in our spaces so that we don’t feel quiet so horrible about the place we have to come home to, the place where we’re supposed to be decompress and recharge from the world. So get some art that doesn’t make you feel like the weight of the worlds is on your shoulders for just two minutes of the day. Now don’t go and blow rent money on an undervalued Picasso, but get a poster of your favorite show or paint a mural in your dining room or by that candle holder for $3 on clearance because it looks like a bunny.

I guess this card will speak to you in a different way than me because i think we’re all having conflicted views on the world at the moment. Tell me in the comments what you think this card is showing to you.
