What do we need to know this week? Reversed Queen of Cups. - We may be a bit more emotional and ungrounded this week, especially as we head closer to the Full Moon in Scorpio on Friday (and a reminder that we feel the energy a few days before, during, and a few days after). - With this full moon in Scorpio, there may be some deep emotional releases - wounds that run deeper than most realize. Scorpio is all about death and transformation, so what is no longer needed must go (and it will, as you find the energy to release it). - With this card, we may be a little more emotional than usual and may not always choose the most nurturing words (to ourselves or others). So let’s work to turn this card right side up - take grounded breaths through any feelings that surface, feel them, and release them. What do we need to do this week? The Knight of Swords and the Four of Cups came out together, with a clarifying card of the Five of Cups. - Moving too fast may feel helpful, but it could actually be harmful - leaving us focused on what’s missing or unseen. The Knight of Swords is quick to move, quick to react, and fast-paced. But on its own, it can be misleading. Paired with the Four of Cups, the message is clear: if we move too fast, we may miss the mark. So what do we do? - Take a breath - in and out - as mentioned above. Get grounded. Feel your feelings; don’t stuff them down. But also, try not to take them out on others, as you may end up regretting those actions. Again, with full moons, this is about personal release - but that doesn’t mean projecting it onto others or moving too quickly to dismiss what’s really coming up. Not feeling this energy? No worries! Know that others may however, so give grace where possible.

I had runes when I was deep into a spiritual awakening but it freaked me out a little. I only Got negative answers but it was a tough time. I was wondering if anyone had experience with them? I’m interested to try again. No idea how to use them though!

To piggy bag off yesterday’s Rune convo (and because today is Odin’d day - Wednesday) I’d like to offer a 1-Rune pull for everyone! If interested - throw a gif in the comments. Directions: Have your question clean and clear in your mind. Give me permission to ask the question on your behalf. (You don’t have to write the question in the comments, just make sure it’s a crystal clear question and give me permission to ask on your behalf). Later - when you come back to the post - let us know how it resonates with you. I’ll pull later this afternoon 😀☀️✨✍️

We’ve explored a little Tarot, Oracle, pendulums, dowsing rods… (and of course, if you want to go deeper, there are courses waiting for you in the Classroom!) Now it’s time to bring another tool into the space: Runes. Runes are an ancient Norse system, often connected to the wisdom of Odin. Typically you will see these on a white stone or bone, but I prefer crystals. Unlike Tarot, which invites layers of symbolism and intuitive storytelling, Runes are more direct. The message is what it is. Clear. Grounded. For my fellow overthinkers… this might feel like a breath of fresh air. A friend of mine introduced me to Runes. He’s very matter-of-fact, and this tool fits him perfectly. No interpretation, no “what could this mean?”- simply the message. We spent an afternoon asking questions and pulling runes, and honestly… it was such a fun and different way to connect. It was also one of the ways we tapped into the energy of Odin. And comically enough, it was on a Wednesday… Odin’s Day. Of course, I ended up getting my own set (because… of course I did 😄) and have brought them to a few gatherings. But I realized not many people are familiar with them yet. I pulled two runes for us today - to get you acquainted (should you be of interest!): Signals and Strength. - Signals is all about awareness. Pay attention to what’s coming through right now - signs, synchronicities, repeating thoughts, conversations that feel a little too aligned to be random. This rune is a nudge to notice. Not everything needs to be overanalyzed… but it does need to be seen. - It also speaks to communication. What you’re asking for is being answered - but are you open to receiving it in a way that may look different than expected? - Strength brings in grounded power. Not force. Not control. This is inner resilience. The quiet kind. The kind that doesn’t need to prove anything. Together, these two feel like: You’re being guided… and you’re strong enough to trust it. Curious… have you ever worked with Runes before? Or would this be your first time exploring them?

What do we need to know this week for our highest and greatest good? Queen of Pentacles and 8 of Swords - The Queen is nurturing, grounded, and abundant. You can see it in the green of the card representing growth, the yellow representing solar plexus energy of confidence and discipline, and the pentacles showcasing stability in the material world. - We also have the cherubs = angelic support, along with tulips bringing in spring energy and bunnies representing renewal and new beginnings. - The 8 of Swords tells us that this week we may be more in our minds. There may be overthinking, indecision, and a desire for forward movement while feeling stuck. - This is a reminder to pause, take a breath, ground yourself, and allow your intuition to guide your next step. You are more supported and stable than your thoughts are leading you to believe. What do we need to do this week? Reversed 9 of Wands - The wands remind us of passion and inner fire, while the swords from above reflect thoughts and mental energy. - That passion within you is still there. It is still moving forward even if you feel tired from the climb or worn down from the battle. - With this card reversed, it is asking you to stop expecting the worst. Release the need to push through everything on your own and allow support in when needed. You do not have to do this alone. The number 9 also carries the energy of completion. Something is coming to a close, and in doing so, it is creating space for something new to begin. :) What chakra learn or consider this week? Solar Plexus Chakra - Free will, courage, willpower, a choice. Well this speaks perfectly to the cards we pulled, doesn't it? - The number 17 breaks down to 8 (1+7 = 8), which is movement forward. This mirrors the Eight of Swords. Movement is available, but it requires a choice. - A choice to shift out of overthinking. A choice to trust yourself. You can move forward this week if you get out of your own way. Overall energy = Ground into what is real. Quiet the mind. Moving forward does not have to come from force, it comes from making a decision and stepping forward. Be the Queen of Pentacles! :)
