Mystic Pull Tarot

Deck: Deviant Moon

Ten of Swords Rv:

The worst is over, and now you are beginning to recover from events, words, and decisions that brought you to rock bottom. Technically, you *could keep digging for another bottom, but trust that you have suffered enough and you owe it to yourself to pick up the pieces and heal. Disengage from those who seek to hurt you, and be gentle with yourself as you process what happened.

The Lovers:

New alliances are forming in your life. Not ruling out a new love interest, but given the influence of the other cards here, the focus needs to be on you. These new friends and allies have experience to share and are ready to lend their moral and material support. If it’s not already, this will become a very close-knit network where you all can be vulnerable with one another and meet each other with open arms.

Nine of Cups Rv:

Delayed wish fulfillment. Prepare for a neutral phase and let go of the need for highs and lows. Relax into still waters. All your effort is paying off at this moment, but it will take some time for you to collect enough evidence to see this is true. Do not get impatient and try to push things along. Rely on your Lovers.

High Priestess:

This week the Hindu goddess Kali came to mind out of nowhere, and then I pull this card! Until now, I never understood how she could be the goddess of destruction, but also loving motherhood. Like everyone else, you are living through active institutional and cultural destruction in addition to wherever personal challenges you face. But at the same time, we are witnessing the voices of justice and humanity gathering strength. The High Priestess manifests thought, belief, hope, and intention into tangible real world results. This is happening on the global stage as well as in your own life. Every right action you take contributes to the universal good, and the universal good will show up in your life.

Deck: Aquarian Tarot

King of Cups:

You are settling into emotional maturity and stability. People know they can depend on you for strength and resilience. However, this is reserved for those who have shown they are not trying to manipulate or gain an advantage over you. When anyone treats you like an emotional tampon, you instinctively detach with love and rise above the drama. Those people will find you cool, aloof, and will avoid bringing you their bullshit in the future.

Page of Rods (Wands) Rv:

You are much less impulsive these days. That’s not to say you’ve lost your passion; on the contrary, you are more focused and taking your time to do things right. Pages are still junior positions or newbies, but with the your King of Cups growth, you are evolving out of this stage and planning your next moves minus the anxiety and butterflies.

Six of Pentacles Rv:

Be cautious with your spending. Completely vet out any investment opportunities or charitable giving campaigns before throwing your money around. No one is saying you should become a penny pincher or start hoarding wealth. The guidance from the two previous cards is influencing you to make wise investments into your future and give within your limits.

The Hierophant:

You are now the teacher! You are well-versed in all the foundations and have enough practical experience to begin sharing freely what you know. This is a win-win because by teaching others, you solidify your knowledge. Do not get caught up in self doubt or succumb to imposter syndrome—you are the real deal!!

Deck: Northern Animal Tarot

Ten of Swords:

OK first of all, don’t panic! I know this is a lot of swords. 😬 The Ten of Swords is a feeling of defeat, being crushed by hostility or opposition. Whoever they are, you feel like they won and you are mourning a loss. You may be feeling resentful, exhausted, overwhelmed, sad.

Eight of Swords Rv:

This card is actually positive, especially in connection to the other cards. It means you are no longer blinded by the bullshit, whether it’s gaslighting or propaganda, you’re seeing through it and untangling yourself from these fake bindings. Your mind is free and your body will follow. 

Death:

Whatever died by the Ten of Swords is fertile ground nurturing new growth. What is dead is gone forever, but it is regenerating something better to sustain you. That’s not to diminish the pain of the loss because that still needs to be honored. But as you emerge from the binds of the Eight of Swords Rv, so your new life will grow back from pain.

King of Swords:

This is the most reassuring card! It is still a sword, but it has transformed from a tool of conflict and sharp pain into the tool of intellect, clear thinking, strategy, and ambition. The artist chose to use the wise owl as the animal to possess this tool; think about the attributes of the owl and how you can mirror them as you move forward: silent, vigilant, patient, and deadly accurate!

Deck: Tarot Disassembled

The Empress:

Today is Dolly Day, and what better card to represent her than The Empress!! I swear, this is where Tarot always gets me! She planted so many seeds for change and nurtured her community. She would never have worn a crown or held a scepter but she certainly earned them. I feel like this is your sign to carry big Dolly energy through your weekend, and for each situation ask, “What would Dolly do?”

The Lovers Rv:

There is a partnership on the rocks, and pressure is building beneath the surface. There are a lot of dualities that are in play, contributing to conflict: the tree of forbidden knowledge vs the burning bush of divine revelation; the blessing angel vs the duplicitous snake; the shining sun vs the dark clouds. This tells me that your perspectives are completely opposite. WWDD: Approach the issues with care and understanding. Meet on common ground and make fair compromises. 

Two of Wands Rv:

Plans are on hold, which might be adding pressure to the lovers. Things were supposed to be well on the way already but obstacles have caused delays that no one planned for. The artist of this deck chose to show that even in reverse, there is an upright rose, which says to me that things are still developing that will bloom and grow. WWDD: Patience is key.

Temperance:

Everything right now is give and take. Sometimes you give more, and sometimes you take more, which is especially important to acknowledge in relation to The Lovers. The imagery strongly reflects elements from all three of the previous cards, especially The Empress. Be generous like Dolly and that generosity will flow back to you. The pressure from The Lovers will abate. Everything will balance out for your highest good!

Deck: Housewives Tarot

The Fool:

It’s time to jump in with both feet! You won’t know whether you’ll succeed unless you just GO for it. Whenever you take the leap with The Fool, it’s worth the trip. Follow your enthusiasm and learn as much as you can.

The Moon:

Your keen intuition has a major part to play in guiding you through this venture. Pay attention to any signs or symbols you see as you go about your business, like your lucky number, favorite animal, etc. You might even experience instances of déjà vu. These are all signs you’re moving in the right direction.

Nine of Swords Rv:

Based on last week’s forecast, you are now emerging from that stressful period and letting go of anxiety. You are much less worried about the future and are in a great position to embrace The Fool above.

Page of Cups:

This is your fresh new outlook. The Fool energy is feeding your optimism and encouraging your inspiration. You are finally getting into your groove and you are ready for new adventures. Find things to do that feed your creativity and be open to new ideas.

Deck: Somnia Tarot

Four of Wands:

You have solid family and community bonds. I am reading The World as a direct influence on this card as a way to illustrate that these are people who have stood by you through many cycles of growth, change, hardship, and celebration.  It is important to reach out this week as worries arise via the Nine of Swords.

The World:

This is the card of everything outside human control. The world turns and life continues its seasons and cycles regardless of what we have planned. Some of the changes approaching are going to be stressful, but remember nothing lasts.

Nine of Swords:

This is a time of anxiety, sleepless nights, general worry. Whether it’s material, emotional, or spiritual, you have your people walking the road with you. Whatever the strife, it will not take long to resolve, as I see The Star on the immediate horizon.

The Star:

This is the glimmer that lights the way through a dark period. Allow yourself to feel hopeful and excited for what’s on the other side of this stressful period. This isn’t something you need to strive for or force; this is what The World is bringing you as it spins around day by day. Hold tight!

Deck: Raven’s Dream

Three of Wands Rv:

You stepped out of your comfort zone and now you are… uncomfortable. Not every journey in life is a vacation, but the effort of navigating this new reality is worth the effort. You are processing a lot of new experiences, but the main point is that you’re out there trying.

Page of Cups:

You are learning to nurture yourself and listen to your own instincts. As a result you are creating healthy boundaries to succeed in this new realm. Keep expressing yourself authentically, and pay attention to when to protect your heart.

The Empress:

You are also receiving external nurturing from people with great emotional depth and maturity. You feel understood by them and they are supporting your growth and decisions. 

Seven of Pentacles:

As you are internalizing your new life experiences from the Three of Wands Rv, you are establishing a longer-term view and what you want for your future. Don’t let bad experiences hold you back. Keep investing in your talents and relying on The Empress(es) in your life to guide and help you.

Deck: Dark Woods Tarot

Seven of Cups:

You have many good options to choose from, though none is absolutely perfect. They all require some amount of effort from you in addition to some outside support. You are weighing your options: think things through, follow each option to its logical conclusion *without rose colored glasses.

Eight of Cups:

There are two ways to read this. Either you recently walked away from a counterproductive (maybe destructive) situation that opened up all the new options above, OR the opportunities will not present themselves until you close the door on this crap situation. Close that door to open the window of opportunity… or whatever the saying is.

Wheel of Fortune:

The wheel is a “force majeure”, the influence of the world outside your control. It is turning with the season, and also bringing you progress. We are coming into autumn, and things will begin to calm down again so you can really focus and ground yourself in the here and now.

Ten of Pentacles:

Autumn is harvest season, and this is the perfect card for the culmination of your efforts above. You are releasing or have released something that was dragging you down, resulting in many new options. Whichever one you choose, the Wheel is turning in your favor. Well-earned rewards are coming and will be bountiful!

Deck: Modern Witch Tarot

The Moon:

The night obscures the world, while the moon illuminates the shapes and forms around you. You must rely on all your other senses to understand your surroundings. This is a moment where you are operating “in the dark”, and you must rely on more than what your eyes perceive. It is important to follow your hunches and trust your gut!

High Priestess:

This is the queen of intuition and manifesting! You are being called to shift and transform energy into reality. In a practical sense, you forge a new path. In a spiritual sense, you influence the entire vibe and people will follow your lead. You don’t know the outcome, but you know the next right step to take. 

Eight of Cups:

Cut your losses. Don’t fall for the “sunk cost fallacy”. Just because you already spent so much time, energy, and/or money on a project or relationship does not mean you should continue to invest in it. Let go of what is no longer good for you. If this project/relationship is draining you and you’re not getting your emotional and spiritual batteries recharged, it’s time to walk away.

Ten of Cups Rv:

Continuing to feed into this project/relationship will result in deep resentment and leave you unfulfilled. However, if you apply the lessons from the first two cards by following your intuition and making good choices in the moment, you *will manifest something far more amazing and fulfilling than what you walked away from. Trust and believe in YOUR magic!

Deck: Housewives Tarot

Seven of Pentacles Rv:

Aspects of your life are not flourishing as you expected despite careful and fastidious efforts. Please do not consider this a personal or moral failing. It takes much more than meets the eye to grow and develop the way you want. You might be feeling like it’s an endless game of whack-a-mole where one thing is answered but it opens up two new questions. 

Wheel of Fortune Rv:

This is the external influence on your Seven Pentacles Rv. Most of the things impacting your efforts are far beyond your control. It could be a matter of not finding the right resources, surprise priorities eating up your time, even the weather spoiling plans. Don’t go tilting at windmills, friend! Roll with the punches and keep putting in the effort. The Wheel is always turning.

Eight of Swords Rv:

Soon enough you will find yourself released from this frustrating and stagnant phase. You will feel the limitations evaporate, and your mindset will become more focused and positive.

Two of Wands:

Once this cycle closes, you will be setting your sights on new horizons—maybe literally like a move or travel, maybe figuratively like your aspirations. At this stage the road will be wide open and you can make real plans for the next stage.
