Hi there Tarot Friends, I got pulled into an HOA meeting over the weekend. Someone on the board had been messaging me nonstop — “You really need to come. You wouldn’t believe what’s going on.” She painted such a dramatic picture that I half-expected the meeting to end in torches and pitchforks (which would NOT be an exaggeration or unusual for this group!) I stopped going to HOA meetings a long time ago because, honestly, there’s usually too much infighting, and ain’t nobody got time for that! And guess what? Minor chaos. When the infighting started, I left. Page of CupsIf I hadn’t gone, I’d still be replaying someone else’s version of the story in my head. It’s the same with Tarot. Every time you pull a card, you’re looking into the mirror of your own life. You’re saying, I want to see what’s actually here, not what my anxious mind predicts. Boy, has that been a theme for me this year - - learning not to believe the anxious mind!
6 of swordsI didn’t go to the meeting to fix anything. Tarot works like that too. A reading doesn’t rearrange the outer world. It rearranges the inner one. The shift in perspective and of the interior world IS the magic That’s why after a good Tarot reading, I just feel better. Not because I necessarily know what’s coming, but because I’ve sorted out my perspectives and feelings around what I asked about.
8 of SwordsI thought skipping the meetings was protecting my peace, but was it? It’s the same reason we sometimes avoid our decks (or our bank statements) when life feels messy. We don’t want to “see something bad.” But avoidance keeps us in the dark. Pulling a card — even one that challenges us — brings us back into dialogue with reality. It’s not about prediction. It’s about presence.

Judgement 20 - Gazing into the mirror of yourself and your self perception, we see self judgement. Just the name of this cards implies that this is self judgement not self allowing. Take note of how and when you judge yourself and what “the inner voice” is saying.
3 of pentacles - No person is an island. You’re being invited to see that you have a valuable contribution to make. What would you like to do and who do you want to work with?
7 of swords - You are being invited to see that there is risk and reward at play here. Are you taking crazy risks in the hopes of crazy rewards? What spooked you into reactive mode?
