The cards say it’s time to get serious. The Autumn Equinox descends upon us this week which means we’re moving into the dark half of the year. This is the half of the year that governs depth, shadows, taboo subjects and self-reflection that leads to transformation. This is the time of the year when you are urged to get comfortable with all of those demons you’re carrying. Not in a performative way but to truly figure out what needs to change. To compost what’s no longer useful to you and turn that into something you can actually fertilize your goals with. But in order to that, you you’re going to have to stop making excuses. You’re going to have to stop giving yourself passes and exits. You’re going to have to lock in.
And let me be clear, you don’t have to do anything. You can stay exactly where you are right now, doing exactly what you’ve been doing but that also means getting clear about that too. If you don’t want to do heavy lifting then don’t but stop complaining. Don’t complain that you haven’t reached your goals if you haven’t done anything to reach them or have only done the bare minimum. Stop saying you want a certain kind of life if you aren’t willing to do what needs to be done to get it. If you don’t want to be bothered then tell your truth.
That’s what these cards want from you. Ultimately, spirit will sit back and give you exactly what you’re willing to work for. It won’t be easy nor will it be quick. But if you truly want something, spirit will help you make it happen. But you need to figure out truly what it is you want. If it’s a life that doesn’t require much then figure out the best way for you to live that exact life. Stop setting goals for what you’re supposed to do or what looks good on paper or what sounds profound and start setting goals for what is true for you. Dive deep. There’s no better time of the year to do that than right now.

→ Reaper
Over the years, in working with others on their spiritual development, I have found that many if not most people want to achieve big goals without having to do much of anything. They won’t say it that way of course but when you read between the lines, they want everything else and everyone else around them to shift to suit their desires. That is a huge problem because, and this will sound cliche, if you were the kind of person who could achieve your goal, then you would’ve done it already. That sounds harsh but it's true. Achieving a goal you’ve never done before will require you to change. You’ll have to learn something or sacrifice something, shift a perspective or an attitude or behavior and likely all of the above plus some. This card represents those things that need to change in order for you to change. You won’t see it in the midst of the shifting but this is for your good. You may never be able to draw a one to one connection but something is happening today that will make something else possible later. So let it happen, whatever comes. Let it go or let it change and in the process, you’re already becoming the person who can achieve what you want.

This is your summons to reconnect with the innocent part of you that loves things just because your soul feels a resonance. Consider picking up a new hobby this month. It doesn’t have to be something grand and you don’t need to run out and buy new supplies. This is something to take your time with. Perhaps you watch ceramic videos on Youtube all this month or start a secret instagram account to pursue your passion of making doll clothes. Maybe you drop into a workshop on knitting or watch a documentary on what it takes to be a sommelier. There’s no need to “commit” to anything right now. Be gentle with yourself and follow the breadcrumb however far it leads. You may lose interest tomorrow and that’s ok. This isn’t about sticking to the course, it's about doing as deer does and learning to listen and react to whatever feeling or desire is right in front of you.

→ Coven
Today is an excellent day for a gathering or for building connections. Someone could be very helpful to you today. Stay open minded to working with others or reaching out to someone who can help you to solve a problem. Receiving coven is also a good sign for meeting someone new. If you do meet someone today, make the effort to connect with them and continue the relationship. Don’t leave another meeting up to chance. Be firm in your desire to get to know them. This will go a long way in making them feel desired and building trust. Try not to get stuck in the idea that who you’ve been friends with up until now are the only people you should have in your life. A coven will grow and change with time. Don’t miss the chance to connect with someone who is more like who you’re becoming and less like who you were.

→ Harvest Witch
Harvest witch asks are you really putting in the effort required to manifest your goals or are you blaming others or making excuses for why you aren’t seeing the results you desire? This card is a challenge, encouraging you to be very honest with yourself and to take responsibility for what is and what is not working for you. It's time to truly assess how much effort you’re giving to your goals. You should have clarity now, thanks to the summer, to answer these questions honestly. Are you chasing dreams or distracting yourself with something you don’t really care about? Can you truly see yourself doing this for years or is this something that’s nice for now but you know it will run its course? And if so, why aren’t you going after the big dreams? What’s stopping you? Remember that you can only harvest what you plant. Don’t plant a bush and expect to find a tree.

In addition to self-care, receiving this card means you could also do some work on self-worth. Your heart needs some tending to. It may feel closed off at the moment, with the idea that you aren’t valuable enough or that you don’t bring enough to the table. Or perhaps you’re afraid you bring too much in the form of baggage when neither are true. You are worthy and valuable just as you are but you have to see that for yourself before anyone else can. This card appears as a reminder to love yourself first. It may seem like you’re unlovable because that’s how you’ve been viewing yourself. Or may feel like your lack of connection means there’s something wrong with you when the only thing that’s wrong is that you don’t value yourself enough. And if you’re someone who loves yourself deeply already, then this card is a sign to infuse that love into everything you do. To take time to care for all of your needs be it internal or external.

→ Fire Cider
Fire cider represents the need to stop searching for a magic pill or spell that will change everything overnight. A lot of folk medicine, like fire cider, is more about maintenance than it is a fix. It means getting ahead of illness by keeping your body healthy so that you’re much less likely to get sick in the first place. There are remedies for when illness strikes of course but they also tend to be the slower route, getting to the route rather than the symptom. That is what you need to be mindful of with self-care. Not just in terms of your body but your mind, your heart, your relationships, your spiritual practice and even the place you call home. One day of self-care isn’t going to reverse months or even years of anxiety, burn out, fatigue, or frustration. You need consistent effort and willingness to choose yourself and your well-being. And with time, you will build up your strength and your peace of mind.
