Weekly Newsletter Message | 9/24/25

How was last week’s message for you in your life? What thread could you pull out and how has time revealed the thread in an XYZ experience? I feel like these messages are written for me! I’m just like… “yup, there it is, that’s what the weekly message was about for me.”

VI OF CUPS

This card popped out as I was shuffling and focusing on this week. Memories. Yesteryear. Childhood. Nostalgia. But! You know what? I’m focusing on the flowers that one of this kids on the card is smelling.

The Intoxication of Nostalgia and the past. I think we all can get into an hour or so in our day as we gaze at yesteryear or even find Nostalgia videos on the internet. I’m guilty of watching those 90s/early 00s Nostalgia videos! Some people even make their whole career producing mini-sketches about Nostalgia. I find most of them funny, but I limit how many I watch because I could use my time better than watching YouTube Shorts.

This week, there’s the Intoxication of Nostalgia running amok. The unhealthy GRIP of Yesteryear. The draw to live in Yesteryear and exclaim how much better yesteryear was.

Was yesteryear really better? Isn’t it all the same just wrapped in a different package?

Why are you drawn to Yesteryear? I’m feeling more about examining the Hours spent on wanting to Go Back to Yesteryear. Nostalgia can be a drug.

For me…I like life now compared to then. Childhood, teenagehood, college-hood…those weren’t the best for me. I could go into all the ABCs, but I’d rather be here now.

Are you stuck in the Nostalgia train? Remember we aren’t in the Black and White. I love a good 5 minutes reflecting on a good aspect of Yesteryear, but if day-in-and-day-out all you are doing is exclaiming the love of yesteryear as a means to distract you from your current challenges and what not then well…I think this bubble will burst this week.

I THE MAGICIAN

We have some working-magic-opportunities this week! There’s an air of Creation and using the tools before us to make something new.

Maybe we need that Nostalgia Bubble to Burst so we can focus on the Here and Now to Make Something New!

We can even channel the healthy-nostalgianess into Inspiration for the new thing we can create!

What Positive Aspects of Yesteryear would you like to bring into 2025/2026? How can you Translate Yesteryear into the Here and Now?

I also just saw a Photo Album. Aw, I do love looking through photos from childhood. There is Inspiration! Maybe one of you out there may be inspired to start making a physical photo album!

This week is driving home the notion that it would be best to use Nostalgia as Inspiration and then look forward! Moving ahead! Taking new steps!

We may even want to bring in some Traditions of Yesteryear into the Now and pass them down to the younger generation. What Traditions from your Childhood have gone away? What would you like to bring back to your Family?

What lit you up as a Child? What did you find fascinating when you were a Child? Maybe taking a few moments to use Nostalgia as a Tool could empower you to find Inspiration which can be funneled into a New Project or even just a New Hobby in the NOW.

IV THE EMPEROR

The Judge. The Ruler. The Emperor….Hm.

This card is making me feel like we have some Decisions to make this week. Accountability. Responsibility. Not Running from the Past.

This is a little bit of a back and forth, right? Examining the Past, but not in an unhealthy way. Using the Past as Inspiration. There’s also…an aspect of taking off the rose colored glasses regarding the Past. Was everything really that much better in XYZ Year? Really? Some say it was ‘objectively better’ in XYZ Year, but was it really? Hm.

I hear the word “honesty” so I think that we may even have to deal with an aspect of the Past that returns in some form. Almost like an Acknowledgement or even seeing something from Yesteryear without the Fog of Nostalgia.

V OF SWORDS

Hm. Well, I really would say that there may even be an opportunity to see with Clear Eyes and Experience that occurred in Yesteryear.

Like with siblings. Everyone has a different experience or even a different version of a parent. You had your specific perceptions while a sibling and his/hers.

I feel like there could be a potential for us to explain Our Version of a Parent (or any other family member/person) and to help another understand why we have this relationship and the other has his/her relationship.

That’s it!

May you all have a lovely week!

Sincerely,Jake
