Life has a way of inviting us into honesty—sometimes gently, sometimes with force. This week’s cards are about facing that invitation: to stop resisting the season you’re in, to acknowledge what’s working and what isn’t, to reclaim your power when temptation pulls you off path, and to open yourself to the guidance that’s always been there.

From the wisdom of elders to the quiet assurance of candlelight, these messages remind us that clarity doesn’t come from rushing ahead or demanding answers. It comes from being present with what is, trusting that you’re supported, and daring to imagine a new beginning that’s entirely your own.

As you read through this week’s pulls, notice where they land for you. They may point to small shifts, or they may stir something much bigger—but either way, they’re here to guide you back to yourself.

→ Elements

This card is about being in the season or cycle you’re in without feeling the need to change it. Whatever you’re going through, what if you stopped resisting it or even what if you stopped holding on so tightly? What if you just surrendered to a challenge? What if you just enjoyed a win instead of worrying about when it will be over or what comes next? Every single season is working in your best interest. You may not be able to see it right away. In fact, it may be a long time before you can truly understand how something helped you. But if you just assume everything is here to help you, imagine how much more joy you’d find out of life. You’d be able to go wherever the wind blows you and then you’ll be able to take advantage of opportunities because sadness, anger, and frustration aren’t in the way. The universe knows what it's doing. Us humans are the ones getting it wrong. So why not trust that what is happening for you today is meant to be and let the chips fall where they may?

→ Reflection

This card is one of self-truth. It appears when you need to seriously stop and access where your life is. To face the things you don’t like about yourself and to bring attention to the things that are perfectly fine. It’s hard to acknowledge something that doesn’t feel good. It’s hard to admit when your clothes don’t feel good on your body, or when your spending habits are out of control. It’s challenging to acknowledge some of your longest friendships just aren’t in alignment with you anymore or that your job is sucking the life out of you. Mostly because acknowledgement means needing to do something about it and denial makes avoidance so much easier. But this can’t go on forever. This is a false sense of security: a faux comfort zone. Because the truth is that you aren’t comfortable at all and reflection has appeared today to encourage you to do something about it.

→ Seduction

Seduction can be a powerful thing—in the right circumstances. But it can also be a form of manipulation. This card is a warning about temptation and the consequences of choosing the lustful option. It’s not unlike the Devil card. It can be so tempting to have that extra cookie, to drunk text your ex or to give into the need to bite the hand that feeds you. And sure, you can find someone else to blame. You can say it was the circumstances and that you aren’t at fault. Or, you can take responsibility for your role. You can own the ways you give in and give up rather than choosing the healthy, more aligned choice. This card has appeared today to ask you what you’re seduced by? And more importantly, are you ready to take back your control?

→ Elders

This card appears when you’re moving too fast. Not so much having too much on your plate but being in such a rush to get something done, be somewhere or find something out. Slow down. Your ambitions aren’t going anywhere, at least not the ones that are actually meant for you. Get there when you get there instead of trying to force your way to your desired outcome. Have you ever noticed how elders just seem to be settled? They aren’t in a rush or bothered by too much. Mostly because they are content with what they have. It may not be enough or what they wanted and yet, elders are always grateful. So that same sense of urgency doesn’t apply to them. There’s a lot the world can learn from its elders and that is the ultimate message of this card. To seek out wisdom. To slow down and play attention to those who have lived instead of just dismissing them. Youth doesn’t always mean better. Experience teaches you when you need to push and when you need to stay still. It teaches you when to fight and when to cut your losses. And sure you can learn all of that on your own or you can just take a little while to slow down and listen to someone who’s been where you are. Call your grandmother/ grandfather/ parents/ aunts/ uncles/ mentor or whoever today. Call them and just let them talk for a while. You might be surprised by how helpful it can be.

→Candle Magic

This card appears to reassure you. To tell you that your prayers have been heard and are being answered. To remind you that you don’t have to plead and beg the universe for help. You don’t have to pray endlessly for an intervention. The universe has you. Help is on the way. It may not happen the way you want or in the timeframe you’d like but it will happen as long as you don’t doubt help. Believe something is coming to ease your burdens. Better than belief is expectation. Expect things to work out in your favor and they usually do. Expect help to come along and somehow, it will be there. Now that may sound like wishful thinking and perhaps it is but does it matter what it sounds like if it works?

→ Dark Moon

A card about new beginnings which tells me, today truly is your chance to think about what comes next in your life. Look beyond the common stuff like wanting more money or to start your own business or to fall in love. Peak into the void and stretch yourself and your ideas. Perhaps nothing physical changes. Perhaps your life stays the same but how you approach life is what gets an upgrade. Maybe you’ll be committed to being more positive or to showing more love. Maybe you’ll stop expecting others to do things the way you want and you start loving people for who they are rather than who you want them to be. Or maybe you are ready for something physical to change. Maybe you want to be that fashionista you’ve always dreamed of or maybe you really do want to go back to school. Whatever your maybe is, just make sure you don’t sell yourself short. That you don’t want something because you saw someone else with it or because everyone else is doing it. And maybe that’s the new beginning: just living for yourself for once.

→ All Hallow’s Eve

This card represents finding your inner magic and the season of Samhain is absolutely the time to do it. This is the time to work your biggest, grandest spell. To reach out to the spirit realm for your deepest questions. To declare you are all powerful and to actually believe it. This is the time when you can set an intention for greatness and it will most likely come true. This is a truly powerful season to believe in your magic. So ask for what you want boldly. Don’t be afraid to state your desires clearly to the universe and to believe they will come true.
