Look back on every Tarot card we pulled since April for the months of 2023. What energies were strongest in your life? Which brought the most challenging lessons?
Three of the 9 months I picked was 4 of Pentacles. Did you struggle with control, did your bank account grow? So curious!

April - 4 of Pentacles (Disks/Coins)
May - 9 of Wands

July - Death
August - 4 of Wands
September - 4 of Pentacles (Disks/Coins)

Transcript

This is a really exciting day for me. I am wicked stoked to, to review our taro year. Obviously. It's not a full year and I could swing it as like, okay. I started in April. So technically I could say. We did it via the Zodiac, however, sometimes you need to just sorta come by in the whole, like, Uber's spiritual and mundane or what do they call it in? Um, Oh, what's that show. Oh my God. And that book, Harry Potter, right? Muggles. And what is it? Wizards or something. Okay. I know. I didn't really, I didn't read the books. I watched the movies with a friend of mine, but that was like years ago. But anyways, um, other times people call them normies. I just say regular people. And then like us. You're not alone in your weirdness. I promise. In fact. I think that's actually normal. Okay. So. Year in review. Tomorrow, I'm going to pick a card for January for us. This is really super fun. This is something that I do for myself each year at the either end or beginning of the year, I will draw a tarot card for myself for each month. I'll write it down. I'll read through it. Kind of get a sense of. The excitement and the energies and how they're going to flow for the year that said in this moment, That's it it's in this moment. This is what the year looks like, but I have to tell you. Looking back on it during the month. Or even after the month, Wow. Does it all make sense? The energies are so spot on. So. It is something that I do individually for you. If you want one, I charged$77 for it. It's super fun. It's very light. It takes an hour or so. And I have a pretty tight schedule, but I will open room for these year terror readings because they're super duper fun. All right. Let's do this. I'm going to remind you that the tarot cards I use for these readings. R. Bye Kim Kranz. And the book or the deck is the wild, unknown taro. The fourth Pentacles. This was April, April. Remember April 20, 23. I barely know. I really remember it actually. It was pretty exciting. Possession and control. Oof. But I also know about the four of Pentacles, just as a taro. Not reader, but I've worked with a Terrell for long enough. Now. God. I got my first taro dock in lake. 2011. Wow. So I guess I've been looking at these cards for a long time. Anyhow. The fourth Pentacles and this books us possession and control. It also means stability though. The four of Pentacles is like the four corners of a foundation of a building, a structure. So it's interestingly on my journey as I was traveling around and I had not landed in Bennington. I was home yet at that point, I wasn't Bennington on April 1st. But. The four of Pentacles represents that solid structure. In this stack, it also talks about how there's good news for your bank account. Things are going to happen. You're going to have that stability, that sustenance, that regenerative energy for your bank account, but be aware because. This can lead to much structure, right. Can lead to much structure. Two months. solidarity within yourself too much rigidness can lead to possessiveness or control. It can lead to greet. It can lead to seeing money as power. And then because of that, not wanting to give it away because you feel like you're losing your own power. So I'm going through the cards, but I'm not necessarily. Reading verbatim what the book says. I'm actually reading quote unquote, the energy and the energetics of what they mean. So that was April 4th, Pentacles. I know we saw that one again. And interestingly. We saw that one again in December. So may remember, may. May we saw the nine of wands. Nines are near completion. Sometimes these. Actually in the wants, I think it's a pretty positive card. Some of the nines are. Are a little challenging because you're getting so close to that transition period. Where it's like the stuff that would cause you to remain stuck comes up. But this was the nine of wands strength, stamina, and confidence. The nine of lawns is a reminder that the journey that you're on. Or the energetics of whatever your. Um, movement is being at this time is coming to completion. It doesn't mean you're done. It just means that something is going to shift. The nine of ones. Asks you to remain confident. And flow with the completion. Energetics. Remembering that letting go is actually making room for new life. Even if there's a pause in between. And I'm saying this now in December where the world is paused. In Vermont anyway. And. Yes, all the leaves have. fallen off the branches. And no they're not budding yet. But they will. Life brings the promise of death and death brings the promise of life. Rust brings the promise of renewal. And frankly, Burning the candle brings the promise that it will burn out. It's really about looking back and seeing how far you have come and that you're. So close to having all your work paid off. So please keep going. Be confident you got those that was may. In June. I love this in June, we saw the ACE of Pentacles. So that's like new beginnings in this stability. And in this wealth. In fact in the book. That goes along with the wild, unknown taro. It says prosperous beginnings. It's about the seed that was planted. And just remember that the greatest Oak was once a little nut that held its ground. That's actually a quote that I. How it in some little book called I think. What was it? Hmm. I don't know, it correlated with like Bible verses. And we had it in our bathroom when I was growing up. ANd it wasn't messages from God's from God. It was something like that, but it's just. that one stuck with me, I guess that really stuck with me. Remember the mightiest Oak was once a little nut that held its ground. So remember that the seed of who you are is planted, always end. You know what it's going to take, what it takes. But. Your full potential has always been inside. You. Of course, I teach Kundalini yoga, which is all about getting to that full potential as quickly as possible. Not because we need to get there to be anything better or different or happy or whatever. But just because why not? Here we are. Let's enjoy life to the fullest. Anyway, that was June. And then we saw, I love this too. Oh my gosh. I love the Turo. It's so much fun. In July, we saw death. It's interesting. Isn't it? in June we saw prosperous beginnings and then all of a sudden in July, it's like, okay, but now it's time to die. However it makes perfect sense because if we're going to have prosperous beginnings and we're going to have the seed that's planted, what does that, what has to happen? For that seed to actually. Sprout. Destruction. That seed needs to destroy itself. It needs to crack open. It needs to break. Death for me is. Closure, it's deep transformation, as it says here in the book, it is about relinquishing that which does not bring life. To yourself, your idea, your soul, your relationship, your whatever it is. What do you need to let die? In order to make room for new life to grow. And I got that from reading women who run with the wolves by Clarissa Pinkola estas. I'm not sure. If I quoted it correctly, but that is the message. What must I let die? In order to let life. Bloom here. Oh, July. The heat of summer. The heat of transformation. How beautiful was it? Reflect back, reflect, review, re view. Look at it again. How was your July? Let's move into August. Where we have the four of ones. We have a lot of fours. Especially when it comes to Pensacola, but August was the four. Of Juan's. The four of wands deals with completion and celebration. So again, there was a death. And now we're going to celebrate that, which. Has passed. Not because it's not here anymore, but because it's now free and now we are free. The energy of that has been free to so that it can transform into whatever it needs to transform into or whatever it's ready or time to transform into. I'm remembering. I was sitting at Kailua beach on the island of Oahu one day with a friend. And there was more energy there than I had ever experienced more. Uplifting elevating joyful energy there than I had ever experienced in my life. And I'm just like, what's going on. And then I saw it. Because it happened in front of me. There was a celebration of life happening in Hawaii for the Hawaiians. This is what they do. It's the most beautiful thing. Over I wish I could explain how it feels, but you can't really explain a feeling. You just have to feel it. They take the ashes. Of the deceased out into the water. And then everybody who is a part of the celebration, who wants to be a part of the celebration who knew the person who knows the person, the soul and wants to celebrate the fact that they were in a body for however long they were, oh my God. They all follow the boat out. On their surfboards on their long boards in a kayak. Whatever the mode of transportation. No motors though. And then. Oh, I'm just feeling it again. when they, they pour, they offer, they give. The ashes back to the sea. Which we can argue is where we all came from in the first place. Everyone. Slaps the water and cheers. And it's the most. Oh, it's the most energetic, joyful, like if that soul wasn't free. Holy shit. It's free now. Oh powerful. It is the most powerful thing. Ever. And I'm actually getting a sense that that's what the energy of the spore of wants can be. If we let it, if we dive in deep enough. Celebrate celebrate. Every part of life, including that, which we're letting go. Ah, Because. Death brings the promise of life. Just like life brings the promise of death. September. We're back to the four of Pentacles. So now that we've gotten through that transformation now, it's like, okay, now we're going to set up that structure again. Remember, it's all about stability and having that strong foundation. In this material world. Which can be a challenge. For us. Who are more connected with the etheric realm, maybe. It can be a challenge. And that's why it's easier to get stuck in that. Like, okay, now I've got this stuff happening in the physical world and it's really strong and it's very grounded. And now I don't want to lose that. Because for the first time in my life, I feel stable. But we're always stable within ourselves when we're home. We're stable. So that was the next month, September. Review September. How did it look for you? Do you happen to remember? Don't worry if you didn't, if you don't. Sometimes we just let things go. And that's where they're meant to be. October my birthday month, the month that my dad came, my mom came, I had COVID in the middle of it, and then it was my birthday. And then. All the beauty happened, like. It was amazing that month was. Probably. It was probably the most pivotal month of this year for me. Yeah, I'm going to say that. Yeah. The nine of cups. I love the nine of cups. It is wishes come true. It is. Satiation of joy. Of all the things that you desire. Being there and you're allowing yourself all the pleasure of it. It's fantastic. The nine of cups in this book says bliss, harmony. At last. The card of wishes come true. When the nine of cups appears worries and fears will be cast away. A new phase of peace and harmony awaits. The world seems to be granting your every wish good health, happiness, and even material gains are headed your way. Enjoy. I so, so desire for you to have that. I hope you did in October. If you didn't open yourself to these energies. They are truly worth it. To let go of any of that fear, any of that doubt? Set yourself up to receive this. Oh my God. And all you have to do is be like, I'd like to receive that and then let it go. Because you can't try. And this world doesn't really. Support trying. November was the two of wands. The two of wands is where here's just like, all right. I have a mission and I'm doing it. I am on it. I'm following through. Here I go. I'm determined. That is what the two of wands is. It is time to let again, let go become aware of patterns that hold you back that have held you back. And move past them. Let's move past them. You don't. You don't have to follow the patterns you've always followed, just because you've always followed them. Say that to the world. And then we come to December our last month of the year. We were back in. the four of Pensacola. Can you just get excited about what we are doing for ourselves. We're setting ourselves up for a foundation. Of prosperity. Of solidity. Sustenance regeneration. Four. 2024. How do you feel stable? What. Can you bring into your life that will help you to feel. Stable and secure. For women, I say this. Frequently, breathe into your pussy. Okay. Breathe into the area that your root chakra lives, but don't breathe into your root chakra. That's energetic. Breathe into your pelvic floor. Breathe into your vulva, your Libya, your clit, breathe into your vagina, your cervix, your moon, breathe into the area, your pelvic floor, the muscles they're breathing to that structure. So that energy finally goes there. To the physical part of you. Breathing. There and focused and let it expand as you inhale and contract a little bit, come back towards center toward home. When you exhale. That's where your pleasure is. That's where your power is. That's where your wisdom is. That's where your knowing is. Men try breathing into your heart. What's that. Guide you. Let's see if we can. Balance the yin and the yang within. All of us. So that when we come together, You can stand steady and strong in your masculine. And allow the feminine to flow. Within. Around through. All right. That's it. I said a lot. That was our review of. The year. That we had, obviously we missed the first three months because I didn't start the show until, uh, April 1st. But next year on December 31st, as long as I'm still doing this and still alive and breathing, I. Intend to do a review of 2024. Tomorrow draw card for January. So stay tuned. It's going to be a much shorter episode. Thank you for being here. Thank you for shining. Thank you for smiling. Thank you for crying. Thank you for getting upset and dealing with, uh, Being every aspect of human that you are. I appreciate you and all the waves. If you would like your own. Reading for the year of 20, 24. Reach out to me now. Any time in January is a good time. I am not starting grad school until the end of February, so we could even do something in the beginning of February. And I would just do February through January for you. again at 77 bucks, it's super fun. And you can choose to use either this taro deck or the TOF taro doc. Which was the one that I use for myself. And it has a whole other layer of. Um, mystery and power to it. I guess they both do. Until next time I am sending all the love and then some more. We'll talk tomorrow.
