Weekly Newsletter Message | 8/6/25

How was last week’s reading for you? I definitely felt the support aspects as I felt encouragement from Higher Mind to face all my challenges head on like an Ox!

This week…let’s flip some cards, shall we?

I THE MAGICIAN

The Magician…he who has all the materials laid before him…all the resources at one’s disposal to Create.

Resources is ringing the bell in my head! This week, let’s examine our resources. The resources we accrued over time. I’m not feeling the nudge to purchase anything or acquire more resources. I’m talking about the ones we have at our fingertips.

What’s a great resource that is essentially free? The Internet. What a good/bad invention, right? If we go really into Black & White Thinking…the internet could be the best thing or the worst thing. I perceive it as a wonderful Tool which can be swayed in either direction.

How can the Internet align with your goals? What are your goals? Obviously…we need to identify our goals before we can discern how best to use the Internet as a wonderful resource. 

What materials do you have now to help you accomplish one of your goals? For some reason I want to say that if you’re looking to make extra cash and you have a lot of clothes..then start selling them on the internet.

If you have skills that you want to monetize then how can you use the Internet as a resource to educate yourself on how best to translate your skills into financial gains along with possibility creating a website or a shop.

You want information? You’ll need your handy-dandy-discernment-eye to filter through a lot of junk, but you’ll find some nuggets of gold. Have a library card? Get the Libby app!

There’s just something this week about our resources and looking at them in a new way to see how they can enable us to accomplish a goal.

X of WANDS

Getting on despite the heavy weight we bare on our shoulders. Ooooh. I feel this in various ways. 

How can we continue going on day-by-day when it feels like we are navigating the world with so much pressure, responsibilities, and such? The answer to that will be different for everyone since we all have a unique set of experiences.

I’m definitely walking through molasses as I gaze at this card and type. I’m still moving ahead, but the movement is slow, but the movement is steady.

Feels like a week of focusing day by day and hour by hour and minute by minute. 

If you’re moving at a slower pace than you’d like then I would celebrate the small movements you are making. At least you’re moving forward rather than taking 10 steps back! Right? 

I wonder how your Resources that you already have could help you to diminish the weight on your shoulders? 

A simple list of writing down your current challenges and/or goals then another list to record the resources you already have that may assist you.

XIII DEATH

One of my favorite cards in the tarot deck! Transformation. Pluto. Death. Rebirth. No where else to turn since the old is harvested.

I see this working with X of WANDS. This makes me feel like the weight we are carrying on our shoulders due to XYZ is on its last dying breath. This makes me feel like we have the opportunity to discard the weight that has turned rotten.

In other words…are you holding onto something that is just dead and wants to be removed from your life? Holding onto a dead relationship? Dead pattern of behavior/thought? 

Ideally, we want a plan that can help us birth into a new form so its not like you should just quit your job without a plan. I have high expectations of you readers as in I know you’re not dumb! Use your Intelligence and your Discernment.

It just feels like DEATH is saying that we need to let something go this week. This something has been dead for a while now. I’d say since the beginning of 2025. So its not something that has been in our lives short-term. This is a long-term thing that is now ready for us to discard. 

Easier said than done, right? We can either continue another month with this dead weight or we can formulate the plan to discard the dead weight and what to do once we are free of that dead weight.

VII of WANDS

Ultimately, this week we have the strength to stand in our position (as we make our slower movements) and defend ourselves. Defenses are up in a healthy way! When you feel like the world is against you then it is time to get your shields ready to defend!

I think this card is just to symbolize how we are still here, we are still walking, we are still breathing, and that we will have the strength from Higher Mind to keep on keepin’ on.
