I’ve been talking a lot about Mercury Retrograde lately because I’ve been feeling it this cycle. Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio feels like a big transit. I have Mercury in Scorpio in addition to two other placements so perhaps it’s just hitting me harder than most. But really, I just feel like we’ve turned a corner. The world is shifting in a way I haven’t been able to narrow down just yet but it’s changing all the same. When I look at the cards for this week and also last week, all I see is the universe pushing us to let go of all of that baggage we hold onto. All of the stuff that’s over and has been for a while and yet, we carry it with us. Do you even still want it? I don’t, and yet the pain still seems to linger for some reason.
Mercury Retrograde ends at the end of the week but the New Moon starts the week on Monday. So get clear about what you need to clear out and set an intention to make space for all of the wonderful that are waiting to come your way. The only problem is that those new things need a parking space and all that old junk and baggage is taking up valuable spaces and have overstayed their welcome. Make it a priority to find what brings you joy. Make it a priority to figure out what you want to commit to. Don’t waste this valuable energy. Please, make the most out of it.

There is no reason for you to be on your own right now. Whatever goal or idea or challenge you’re facing needs partnership for you to thrive. You need co-creators and family and friends and people who will add to, not take away. Everyone has gaps and flaws. You’re never going to be good at everything nor is anybody else. You’re never going to want to do everything and the same goes for everyone you know and all of the people you don’t know too. You’re not supposed to either. So ask for help today. Let people see you in the midst of your messiness before you reach the deadline or finish the masterpiece. Let people witness and contribute to your becoming and in return, you become a part of their journey too. This card is about allowing yourself to be held in the very same moment that someone else allows you to hold them also. There is beauty and strength and expansion in companionship. And while there are certainly times when being alone is ideal, today is not one of them.

→ Sunset
Joy is not something that can be given to you nor is it something that can be taken away. Joy is one of the few things that is truly in your control even though it doesn’t always seem that way. But happiness is a choice, even in the midst of a storm. Sunset (otherwise known as the Sun) represents the moment you choose happiness regardless of what’s happened to you in the past, what challenges you face today or even how uncertain your future will be. This card is about knowing you can shift your internal point of view towards optimism and hope. Sure that sounds like spiritual bs but it's true. You don’t have to be miserable just because those around you are. You don’t have to be small or cautious or crass or judgmental just because the people you know are that way. You get to decide how you show up in the world and this card is saying for once, try choosing the positive way. Try choosing the option that makes you feel good without worrying about how much you stand apart. Let your radiance come from you and shine as bright and as golden as you allow it. Be your own sun and find the things and people who are happy to orbit you. Everything else can find its own miserable ecosystem.

→ The Autumn Wheel
Change is something you have to deal with. You might call it good luck or bad luck but really, it's just life doing what it does. Sometimes there are ups and then there are downs and most of the time it's a strange combination of the two. The wheel advises you to make the most of the good times, embracing them with open arms because change will come. What was up will eventually be down and vice versa. You could spend all of your time waiting for that other shoe to drop or you could make the absolute most out of the “good fortune” you currently have. The opposite side of this coin is knowing that bad things don’t last forever because nothing lasts forever. You may be facing a hard time right now but change will come at some point. The moral of the story is that for better or worse, this day will end. What you choose to do with that knowledge says a lot about how tomorrow will be.

→ Four of Autumn Cups
Here me when I say it is always ok to say NO. You have the right to reject any offer that comes your way for any reason. You do not have to accept anyone’s attention or gifts or open doors. And if you’re saying no from a self-aware place then all the better. However, this card also wants you to contemplate whether you’re saying no because you’re being intentional or if it's rooted in something else. Are you saying no because of fear or isolation or an inability to connect? Are you saying no because you’re still deciding or decision is not something you’re comfortable with? You have opportunities now that are almost begging for your attention and if they truly aren’t aligned then so be it; wait for the greener grass. But if you’re rejecting something because you’re scared or bored or just indifferent, then it might be time to think about how long these opportunities will last. People get tired of waiting so don’t assume the chance will always be there. If you have something you think you might want, the better decision is now rather than later.

→Keeper of Autumn Pentacles
The first thing that probably comes to mind when you see the King of Pentacles is wealth and that’s certainly a part of this card. But it's so much more than just money. The King of Pentacles is about legacy, commitment, long-term vision and the ability to put in the work for wealth to be possible. When this card appears, it's about recognizing the value of playing the long game. There will be no overnight success or lottery ticket won. It doesn’t matter if you’re speaking about money or career or confidence or love or anything else. Receiving this card is your sign that you’ll get out what you put in. If you’re patient, work hard, stay the course even when times are rough, if you’re able to stay grounded and take risks only when they can be calculated, then you will find that success will find you. But if you’re rash and expecting miracles because you lit a candle or said a prayer, then you will find disappointment. Not because magic isn’t real but because magic is waiting for you to become the kind of person who can hold the miracles it has to give.

Hoarding is a response to a fear of lack or a fear of losing something and it’s not just about hoarding physical things. You can hoard time, money, affection, your talents or anything else you’re afraid is up for grabs. It gives the sensation of abundance when it's the exact opposite. It suggests no more is available to you so you save for the rainy day instead of enjoying the sunshine you currently have. Typically, this card is directed towards money but look beyond that. Ask yourself what it is you’re afraid to share. What don’t you want people to see? What are you afraid it will cost you to show your hand? You may think you’re protecting yourself and in a way you are. No one can hurt you if they don’t have access to you right? But the problem with that is loneliness can hurt too and driving people away out of fear for what you could lose ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy of hurt anyway. This card appears today to disrupt that narrative and to give you a chance to choose something different.

→ Autumn Consequences
This card is about accountability. It’s about being honest with yourself and taking responsibility for your actions and the consequences of those actions. Today, your assignment is to evaluate whether or not you’re showing up with integrity. Are you being truthful and upholding your values or do you give yourself excuses when it suits you? When this card appears, it's to remind you that what you do or don’t do matters. And today might be a reckoning of those actions. The good news is that this card, upright, often means a positive outcome. You may be faced with needing to own up to something but ultimately, you can expect things to work out in your favor. But that doesn’t mean this card is without its lessons. The day might end in a victory but pay attention to how you got here in the first place. It’s always better to avoid the battle than to win one.
