November 2023 (Projections)
Sometimes it’s not you, it’s your experiences. When you see things through the cloudiness of your own perception, you’ll miss out on the bigger picture. At this time you are not viewing a particular person or situation from a realistic perspective. Something from your past is feeling slightly familiar and thus you have applied the information inaccurately. Keep in mind there are three different ways to see the world. The way you think it is. The way other people think it is. And the way it actually is. It is important to determine which one of these three is your current perspective in order to get things back on track. This is going to be a difficult lesson because it requires you to accept responsibility for your own expectations, judgments and personal desires. Which may not be in line with the situation at hand. It will also challenge your level of self-awareness and shatter some of your ideas about the way things are versus how they actually are. Overcoming these obstacles will help you create more peace in your life if you can remain open to the process.
Shadow Work Questions:
- How would the situation change if I looked at it from a different perspective?
- What past experiences am I applying to current situations without having all of the facts?
- How do I feel about looking at difficult truths in order to increase my level of self-awareness?

October 2023 (Knight of Pentacles)
Slow and steady wins the race. But it might not be as exciting as putting the pedal to the floor. When we’re ready to make a big change, we typically like to go all out. But what you are trying to accomplish for yourself requires slow and steady movement. You must plant seeds in your garden and allow them to grow. What you do right now matters. Even though the small progress you’re making seems insignificant. Laying a foundation is more important than being flashy or putting on a good show for others. During this time consistency, determination and perseverance will get you everywhere you need to go. Unfortunately, these aspects of success are not what people like to project. Hard work and tedious tasks are not great selling points if you’re trying to build an aesthetic. However, they are exactly what it takes to accomplish big projects or goals. Don’t let what you see on the outside discourage you from how far you’ve come or where you’re at in your process. All good things take time. And you’ve got plenty to spare.
Shadow Work Questions:
- What routines and structures can I set in place to keep me on track?
- How can I incorporate fun into what I’m working on to break up the monotony?
- What relationships do I need to nurture in order to help me be successful?

September 2023 (Slowing Down)
Rest, relaxation and a slower pace are just what the doctor ordered. Perhaps you’re not used to taking your time. Or maybe it’s an issue of needing to work on your patience. Either way, make sure you are experiencing each moment to the fullest. As well as exercising mindfulness as you move through your day. Things look completely different when we slow down. Unfortunately, most of us are moving too fast to figure this out. A slower pace gives us the time to analyze our surroundings in more detail, enjoy the simple beauty that surrounds us and connect with others on a deeper and more sincere level. It’s important to examine which parts of your life are lacking this type of energy at the moment. And make a plan for what you intend to do about it. If you’re not sure where to start, create a list of leisurely activities and check them off one by one. Taking a nap, cloud gazing and enjoying a long and delicious meal should definitely be included. Resting doesn’t make you lazy or unmotivated. It’s simply the self-care we all need in order to make our way through this crazy world.
Shadow Work Questions:
- What new things am I noticing as I slow down my pace and move with intention?
- How can I use my five senses to ground myself in the present moment and enjoy it from a new perspective?
- How can slowing down be helpful?
- What outdated messaging or beliefs do I have about needing to constantly be moving or working on something?

August 2023 (Strength R)
Your lack of confidence in a particular area is about to stonewall you. The truth is you have everything you need in order to make things happen. But somewhere along the way you (or someone else) have convinced you that you don’t have what it takes. Don’t look to minor setbacks as examples of your competence. Most of what you have to offer is only visible behind the scenes to the people who know you best. What you lack in confidence you make up for in ability, so don’t sell yourself short. You have the aptitude to influence the world around you in more ways than you think possible. Right now, your focus should be on bolstering your inner strength and mental fortitude. Take advantage of this time to heal old wounds and release past situations that have made you feel incompetent. Those were old versions of you who did not have the wisdom and experience that you now carry. Look forward and create a utopian vision for your future. All things are possible if you believe in yourself.
Shadow Work Questions:
- In which places do I sell myself short that might not be accurate?
- What three things can I do to help boost my confidence?
- At what point in my personal history did I stop believing in myself?
- How can I release outdated stories and beliefs about who I am and what I can do?

July 2023 (The Outsider)
It’s hard to feel like you’re always on the outside looking in. But this disconnection is something you’re partly responsible for. You have somehow convinced yourself that you cannot be included in whatever’s going on. And there’s probably a long list of excuses as to why not. The limitations you are experiencing are one’s you have created in your mind. The truth is, you might be resonating with a situation from your past where you felt helpless or like you were a victim. But the version of you standing here today is so much more powerful than that. Remind yourself that you are capable. And what you have to offer is more than enough. While you may be feeling this disconnect with others, you are always connected to Source Energy, God or the Universe. Work on strengthening this bond to help you get back into the groove with your interpersonal relationships.
Shadow Work Questions:
- What limiting beliefs do I have that are making it challenging for me to connect with others?
- What do I bring to the table?
- How can I take my power back instead of giving it away to others?

June 2023 (The Magician R)
When we give our power way to other people we have nothing left for ourselves. Somewhere along the line you have forgotten that you are in complete control of this whole shebang. Other people’s judgments, a recent mistake or perhaps just a general lack of optimism have caused you to take a step back. This happens to all of us from time to time. However, it is important to make sure that you do not get stuck in this headspace. Start looking for small ways in which you can reclaim your power. This can come from changing the way you react to people or situations. It can be the amount of credit, time or energy that you allow other people’s words and actions to take up in your life. Or it can be not giving in to the resistance and self-doubt that your thoughts convince you of. The only person truly standing in your way right now is you. What are you going to do about it?
Shadow Work Questions:
- What is it that I really want?
- What stops have I taken today that are bringing me closer to this goal?
- How am I letting other people impede this process?

May 2023 (Traveling)
There is some major movement in your space that is pushing you to progress in a more open-minded way. Traditionally you may be used to traveling or making plans with a set itinerary or a goal in place. Instead, you are being tasked with embracing the adventure of the moment instead of focusing on where you’ve been or where you’re going. Your destination is not the point of this journey. Your purpose is found on each step of your path by doing one thing at a time. As you venture into new spaces, do not be afraid to adapt to your surroundings. Different ways of doing things can feel uncomfortable at first. However, it is important to be open-minded and meet things, people or situations where they are at. Many people confuse the endpoint as the goal of their venture. But after the goal is reached there is nothing more beyond that. By focusing on the end result you miss out on everything you learn, experience, enjoy and love while getting there. Don’t be in such a hurry to finish that you miss all the fun along the way.
Shadow Work Questions:
- How can the process be more fun than the destination?
- What’s the worst thing that would happen if I stopped trying so hard to “get there?”
- How can I acclimate to the environment around me?

April 2023 (9 of Pentacles R)
Whatever you are trying to do is impossible achieve on your own. After so many trials and errors, you’re beginning to realize this is the hard truth. It isn’t that you don’t have skills or are somehow incapable of doing great things. But there are certain times in our life when we need to ask for help. You have developed a mindset that what you’re doing can only be accomplished as an individual. When the reality of the situation is that sometimes we need to put our own personal issues aside and work as part of the collective. You’ve been telling yourself a story for a long time about why you can’t or don’t want to work with others. It isn’t that people are unreliable or unhelpful. It’s just that you’ve had enough bad experiences that have left you jaded. Spirit is asking you to rejoin others to learn that you actually can accomplish great things with more than one set of hands in the mix. Challenge yourself to do something small with someone else and see how that starts creating more forward movement.
Shadow Work Questions:
- What reservations do I have about working with others?
- Where can I be honest with myself about some places I could ask for help?
- How can bring other people in be a benefit to me?

March 2023 (Understanding)
It is your nature to organize information in order to make sense of the world. However, there are several categories missing from your Rolodex, making it difficult to comprehend something in front of you. In order to best serve yourself it’s imperative that you break the limitations and incapabilities you have imposed upon your own mind. The restrictions you find there are one’s of your own making. Until now, you have mistakenly believed they were put there by someone else other than yourself. You’re being asked to untangle the giant ball of Christmas lights that is your current state of mind. By undoing your current conditioning and creating a new set of beliefs, a new level of freedom is eminent. There are more options available than you previously believed. And the ability to do more than you thought you could. The work you do on yourself will be hard. But it will be more than worth it!
Shadow Work Questions:
- Where are some areas I feel resistance when being presented with new information?
- Do I make statements or judgments that I’m not as sure about as I used to be?
- How have I changed in the last 10 years and am I operating on beliefs that are alignment with who I am now?

February 2023 (The Emperor R)
You’re feeling fussy and you’re more than willing to let everyone else know about it. The emotions you feel inside are so intense that it is difficult to keep them contained in a presentable manner. The build-up you are experiencing is due to the reactions that are caused by what other people are doing. It’s important to spend some time figuring out whether or not your response to what’s happening is accurate or a result of some internal wounds that are getting activated. There may be some truth to the fact that it’s time to sort things out on a deeper level. When you feel overwhelmed, write down your emotions before they explode. Making a simple list is fine. Then get curious about what message each of these is actually trying to give you. Untangling the emotional ball of Christmas lights maybe a little challenging at first. But it’s the key to understanding yourself better and moving past this period of anger and discontentment.
Shadow Work Questions:
- What makes me comfortable about experiencing intense emotions?
- Is the situation that’s upsetting me really about the other person or is it a reflection of something in my internal world?
- What is something I can do to release my emotions in a healthy way? In a healthy way?

January 2023 (Beyond Illusion)
Plan on seeing some things that really trip you out. The veils are dropping in different areas of your life, allowing you to see what’s really going on.

But no this will dissipate once you are understanding of the situation becomes more profound. And as you have the ability to apply it authentically to the way you live your life.
