For those of you that don’t know, I have a monthly membership called the Unfolding where we explore a feeling each month. Having been an oracle and tarot deck creator for more than ten years now, I have gathered up years worth of feedback from the people who work with my decks. The thing I’ve heard most over the years is that I make people feel seen. That I articulate what they’re feeling even when they didn’t know how to say it themselves and that I make them feel like they have permission to feel whatever they’re feeling even when others make them feel silly for it. That’s why I created the Unfolding; to build upon that work.
This month, we talked about feeling like the universe doesn’t have your back and when I started on that feeling, I didn’t realize how much that’s how I was feeling. All this year, I just didn’t feel connected to my spiritual practice at all. But recently, it’s like the floodgates have opened and it seems like everywhere I turn, I’m seeing signs to get my shit together and remember that I’m a powerful human being with the power to craft my life. The cards for this week really speak to that too. Almost every card has felt like it’s calling us both out, telling us that we have to start believing in ourselves. We have to start claiming our power instead of waiting for someone to give it to us. I think I’m getting the message loud and clear and I hope you do too.

→ 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.

→ Centaur
This card appears to question your little indulgences. To urge you to ponder whether or not you’ve been sabotaging yourself. It’s easy to give into temptation thinking it's “just this once.” But how often does “just once” turn into a regular thing? You may be frustrated with life right now, wondering why you don’t have more money or success or look a certain way or feel a certain way but how much of that is because of your own actions? There are genuine hardships in the world, no one can pretend otherwise but hardship and outright impossibility are not the same things. Something can be hard and still manageable as long as you’re committed to the journey. Too often we replace “hard” with “not meant for me” as if something being challenging becomes an instant roadblock. So today, think about how much more you could have if you stopped expecting things to be easy. Or if you stopped making excuses for yourself when you’re tempted to take the more appealing path. It’s not so much about what you can or can’t do, but about how much you’re willing to be honest with yourself about what you will do.

→ Potions & Spells
Craft the life you want. Now before you roll your eyes and say “I’ve been trying,” ask yourself if you’ve really been trying. Have you truly sat down and written out what kind of life you want to live? And not the life that looks good on paper but your life. Your ideal friends, family, how you look, what you do for a living, your hobbies, where you live, what you drive, etc. And if you did all of that, have you truly taken any steps to move in that direction? Or did you make excuses: I don’t have the money, I don’t have the time, I’m too old, I’m too young, people won’t understand why I’m doing this, it will make me look silly, I don’t have enough experience, I missed the trend, and so on? I can’t say this enough: stop making “hard” mean something isn’t right for you. Not being willing to do hard things is not the same thing as crafting your life is impossible for you. You get to decide what you want. You get to decide how much you’re going to invest in getting that outcome. The universe is not going to tell you what’s right or wrong for you because anything you want can be right or wrong for you. So this card has appeared to tell you to stop outsourcing your desires, stop waiting for permission to have them, and start working your magic babe. Craft your own life potion. Start showing up for yourself and guess what, the universe will start showing up for you too.

This is your sign to make the little things in life more of a priority today. Start by paying attention to things you’ve overlooked recently. Perhaps you might linger a bit longer with your partner every morning before leaving for work or actually savor your evening shower instead of rushing through it. You might be more intentional about the jewelry you wear or spending a few moments tidying up your bedroom. Little things like this don’t seem like a big deal at the moment but can easily pile up overtime. Suddenly, your house is a mess or your partner feels unappreciated; problems that are easily avoided with 3 minutes of your time and a little attention.

→The Veil
Are you listening? Information is being presented to you today. New ideas, messages and truths are crossing the veil and landing right in your spirit. Pay attention. You’ve been searching for this information. Perhaps you’ve wondered what’s next or what your purpose is or why you’ve been led a certain way. As much as we’d like that information on demand, the truth is that it shows up when you need it not when you want it. And wants and needs rarely line up. But now when the veil is thin, you’ll find messages eagerly find you. But you have to pay attention and listen with more than just what you can see in front of you. Trust in what your spirit says. Trust in the nigglings and the words you’re not sure you heard on the wind. Listen when your gut tells you this is right or when it feels like something clicked into place. Trust the signs, especially the ones you believe are signs but aren’t quite sure. And if you do that, you will receive all you need to move into the next leg of your journey.

You need more confidence darling. You gotta start believing in yourself and trusting yourself. I know that’s hard because frankly, confidence is not something that most people are taught. Most people are taught to doubt, to be humble and to diminish themselves. But let me tell you something from experience, being able to say “I’m good at…” changed my life. It’s not bragging to say you’re really good at something. It’s not arrogant to know you can do something better than others. We’re told it's self-centered but really, it's self-awareness. Confidence comes from being able to stand in the truth of what you’re good at. And if you aren’t good at something then practice something you enjoy. I’m a damn good writer and I make amazing apothecary blends and I take damn good photos but that wasn’t always the case. I had to be bad at it and practice it over time and that time paid off. I learned, made mistakes and tried things that allowed me to find my own style and you can too. Confidence doesn’t come by being naturally talented. It comes by being willing to invest in yourself and being willing to work at being better. So start today and imagine where you could be a year from now. You could be in this exact same spot only one year older, or you can have evolved and mastered something amazing.

→ Eight of Autumn Wands
The Eight of Autumn Wands is the card of momentum. It appears when the pace of life speeds up and everything begins to move all at once. This card arrives when events accelerate, messages arrive, or opportunities present themselves all at once. The whirlwind can feel exhilarating, like finally catching a current that carries you forward after a long struggle. But it can also feel disorienting if you’re not grounded in your purpose or if you don’t have a sense of where you wish to go from here. When the Eight of Autumn Wands appears, expect progress, rapid change, or a sense that things are “falling into place” quickly. Trust the pace, but stay focused on where you want this current to take you. The winds will carry you but not if you resist the momentum when it comes.
