Sabbatical from the Site
Hey there y’all! I finally did it. I secured my dream job. I’ll be teaching 6th grade science! Back to my roots. Starting tomorrow – yikes!
Due to this, I’m taking a break for a bit. I was always grateful these platforms didn’t exist while I was teaching.
I’ll be quiet until at least winter break 😉
Thanks for listening to the 25 years story. (Kids, you just have to be stubborn and in love.)
Weekly Outlook: November 19 – 25
As I sat down to write up this week’s outlook, I decided I needed a little music therapy. I also thought, why not add some music. I haven’t done that in a while. So I hit play, shuffle, and forward 3 times.
For those of you who are visual people, I thought I would put this in a table. It can’t hurt to allow my quirky organization into this realm.
| Mon/Tues | Wed/Thurs | Fri/Sat/Sun | |
| Angel Card | Ace of Fire | Three of Water | Four of Fire |
| Turn Signal | Fuel | Must | Love |
| Music | Walking on Sunshine | Hell is for Children | Lovers Who Wander |
Because it is Thanksgiving here in the United States, I pulled 2 extra cards regarding what we should be thankful for (in case you didn’t know).
Fall: trip, small error, or change of season
Renewal: new beginnings/directions and confident choices
It’s not how we fall. It’s how we get back up again. Patrick Ness
So what does all of this mean?
Well, first of all, Monday and Tuesday’s information says we have been struggling with something. If we stay positive and find our motivation (sunshine/fuel) we can change things now. A new opportunity is right there for us to take. It’s a fresh start folks. What do we have to lose?
As we move to Wednesday and Thursday, it’s time to focus on family. Why “Hell is For Children”? Because we are supposed to be thankful for all that we have. It’s Thanksgiving after all. Even if you don’t have much, now is the time to share with others. There has to be a bible verse about this, right? Someone share one would ya. Thanks!
The weekend is interesting. Again, you are probably wondering about the song. “Lovers who Wander” is from Dion and the Belmonts. That’s 50’s music and to me, that’s partying and celebration. The weekend has us feeling content. After time with family and friends, what else could we be? We are renewed in our feelings of romantic love and unconditional love. We know we are safe. (seems a little anti-climatic after her mom coming through huh?)
Weekly Outlook: Something Different
Hey y’all, because Sunday (when I did the reading) was 11:11:11, I thought I’d do a little different reading. The significance of 11:11:11 is a stronger ability to manifest. Let’s do it!
For manifestation, and help with focus, we can pull 3 cards for Goal/Path/Advice.
For goal, we get Page of Earth, and all it really gives us is good news about finances and going back to school. From there, it’s vague. You have a new interest or passion? (What is it?) Your plans move forward (Plans for what?).
So, I pulled a Turn Signal Card. Isla tells us to meditate on it. Gotta love the Universe! As much as I want it to define the unknown for us, it is better that we each have our own goal. What is yours??
Rather than beat our head on a wall looking for info we can’t get, let’s look at Path. Here we have 2 The High Priestess. Practice patience. Aim before firing, and trust your intuition.
For a little clarification, we have the Turn Signal Card Exit. If your intuition says leave, do it immediately and completely.
Finally, what advice would be most helpful. If this is a manifestation reading, we want to actually achieve the goal, right? So our advice is the Ace of Air in reverse. Are you ready for this? We are supposed to embrace these new adventures, take risks to follow our dreams, and pursue innovative ideas. This sounds AWESOME!!
To get some clarification, I used Turn Signals and turned over Cart: A reminder it won’t necessarily be easy.
As you complete your meditations and identify your actual goal, please share! I’m going to sleep and meditate first thing in the AM. I’ll keep you posted on anything I hear!
Weekly Outlook: Nov 5 – 11
Astrologically, there is a lot going on out there! Venus is still retrograde, but at least it’s in Libra now. Uranus is still retrograde, in Taurus now. And this Thursday Jupiter moves into Sagittarius, which from everything I’ve read, is a good thing. Last but not least, Mercury goes retrograde next week. Sigh.
So what’s in store for us this week? As you can imagine, with all of this action, our week is going to be interesting.
Monday/Tuesday we have VIII Justice and Sail. Together these two make a beautiful combination. If we continue to have courage and try, we will survive this. We just have to look for balance. Balance between the present and the future. If you can do this, there will be transformation/redemption.
For me, this means less instant gratification and more saving and financial planning. Because we don’t balance present and future, we are feeling the pains from our broken water heater. At least the cards say we will be ok, because it doesn’t feel that way right now.
Wednesday/Thursday we have III The Empress and Earn. If we continue learning our lessons about balance, this combination says we will be rewarded for a job well done. If we listen to our inner guide, we will find the love, strength, and wisdom we need. Most importantly, you are going to be presented with a “door”, take it. It will help you find the wholeness of heart and spirit you’ve been seeking.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday is led by the Ace of Pentacles in reverse, and Want. Want reminds us of our past and the lessons we have learned. Combining those lessons with our new lessons on balancing the present and future, and we can find both internal and external success. If we pay attention and truly learn from our mistakes, our desires can come to fruition.
Have a tremendous week!!
Weekly Outlook Oct 29 – Nov 4
Happy Monday everyone! Hope all is well with that pesky Venus Retrograde. As an Aquarius, I’m not feeling anything significant. Or I should say, I’m not feeling anything that isn’t just life. Life isn’t easy. Change has to happen.
So let’s discuss this week. It seems there are some interesting messages out there for us . I did notice my attitude came out in the Turn Signals deck this week (I was a little cranky last night). So I apologize in advance, but none of the snark is wrong.
For Monday/Tuesday we are presented with 17 The Star. This is WONDERFUL news honestly. The major arcana represent life altering situations. 17 The Star is letting us know that the challenging times are behind us and brighter times are ahead. All that really means is “less challenging” but as some of my former trainees used to exclaim, “thank you, baby Jesus!” On Oct 26 Venus started a new cycle. Just like Venus, we are now on a new beginning. We MUST set our expectations, follow our intuition, and manifest our dreams. We ARE on the right ROAD.
Then my snarky attitude popped in to add, as long as you Quit doing what you need to stop. You KNOW what that is. (I really love the pointedness of this deck)
I don’t know about you, but I have goosebumps. I think we all have a tendency to hang on to that one little bad habit. I mean, we can’t cut all of them, can we? Apparently, we need to.
Let’s see about Wednesday/Thursday. Here we have the Four of Fire. I’m telling you, “thank you, baby Jesus!” The gist of the Four of Fire is that life is GOOD. We should count our blessings. And if life isn’t good, then Exit the situation. Because anything that doesn’t fulfill our greater purpose, just isn’t necessary.
Yep, not much to that one.
And it leads us right into the weekend, Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Now that we’ve finally relaxed a bit and can breathe after all of life’s recent challenges, it is time to clear the clutter. For the weekend we have the Queen of Air, and in reverse (in other words, she means it). The Queen of Air wants you to cut out anything that doesn’t serve…both things and people (I think she was hanging out with Exit too long). But be logical about it. That’s what Mind is here to remind us. Think long and hard, analyze your instinctual responses, and get opinions if needed.
Important note: this clearing is not so that you can change. It is because you already have changed. These items no longer serve you, so get rid of them. You don’t want to take this unnecessary “garbage” into the next chapter with you. It’s a new beginning. Let’s help make it fresh.
Have a phenomenal week!!
Weekly Outlook October 22 – 28
So how are y’all feeling? Has it been a strange few weeks? Are you enduring Venus Retrograde? Continue being wary of those recooped relationships. It’s not that they can’t be genuine. It’s just not the right time, no matter how tempting.
This week’s reading is going to make you feel better. It actually meshes nicely with the Full Moon on Wednesday too. I love when a reading feels like you could tie it up with a bow.
For Monday/Tuesday, we have the Nine of Earth and Core. Such an interesting pair. Let’s begin with Core, which says that the Nine of Earth is the heart of the matter. We are in a period of change (good ole’ Venus), and these cards are a reminder that change can be GOOD. If we are prepared, how can it be wrong? There are some good things coming our way: successful self-employment, financial windfalls, and deeper meaning.
But wait, there’s more! The spirit of positivity follows us into Wednesday/Thursday with the Nine of Water and Glow. As we embrace this feeling of “I’ve got this,” and our concerns fade with the Nine of Water, Glow wants us to use this opportunity to inspire others and lead. We know how we got here, and maybe our path will work for someone else. How can we deny even 1 person the chance to love life and have things work out the way they hoped?
Looking for the proverbial other shoe? Not this week my friend. Friday/Saturday/Sunday are defined by the Three of Fire and Cart. These two aren’t as rosey as the rest of the week, but they’re still significant. While we feel all of this success, we cannot forget that all good work takes effort. We’re doing great now, but we can’t rest on our laurels. Promote yourself. Take that job. Do what you need my love because the sky’s the limit as long as we keep working for it.
Interested in a personal reading? It can be paper only or paper plus video. With the holidays, we can even work out a gift package. Just message me.
Bonus Weekly Reading Oct 16 – 20
Gooooooooooooooooooood Morning Friends!!! Since we are in the depths of Venus Retrograde, and I was a slacker and didn’t get your weekly post up in a timely manner, I thought I would give you an additional reading for the week.
If you read the Weekly Outlook post for this week, you noticed that the card for Wednesday/Thursday was 12 Awakening. For me, that screams HOW CAN WE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT?!? Because you know, doing the same thing over and over is just insanity. It is time to overcome the obstacles from the past that have held us back. To top it off, we had Three of Fire for the end of the week – we start to feel successful but can’t stop yet. As we approach the end of the Scorpio portion of Venus Retrograde, I challenge you to take this to heart.
So I decided to ask the Universe, what is this awakening all about? Specifically, what is our target for change? The answer 18 The Moon. We each hide something about ourselves (some more than one something). Guess what? The Universe says STOP it! It is time. Go within, and seek, and more importantly, trust the answer. See your brilliant light and let it SHINE!
Tall order, right? Sure Universe, we’ve got this…we have been afraid and insecure up until this point, but we can turn on a dime and be confident. Right? I can hear many of you asking “but how?”
I turned to the Turn Signal deck and pulled one card for each day remaining this week. How can we embrace confidence and throw out our anxieties and insecurities?
Wednesday – Your – before we can do anything to solve a problem we have to own it. That’s what this card is all about. This insecurity and anxiety is yours. The only way past it is to own it and recognize that our words and actions have an impact.
Thursday – Hear – as we take ownership of our problem, we are going to have many offer their advice. While we may not follow everything offered, it is important to listen.
WARNING – from the weekly reading the next few days are supported by Three of Fire. We can’t rest on our laurels yet, we have to keep working actively to overcome those blocks.
Friday – Fall – you have been feeling successful by owning it and listening to others, but sometimes we still experience a stumble along the way. It’s okay. Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off. Determine the lesson that is supposed to be learned. Every struggle has a lesson.
Saturday – Ugly – more negativity, something that is not beneficial or is even harmful is happening. It isn’t easy overcoming blocks, especially these really old ones we are battling thanks to Venus Retrograde. Don’t give up!
Sunday – Isla – Don’t get discouraged by the steps backwards from Friday/Saturday. Isolate yourself for a little bit, meditate or relax, and keep 18 The Moon in mind – LET YOUR BRILLIANT LIGHT SHINE.

Weekly Outlook Oct 14 – 20
Oh my! I conducted the reading on time this week, but I didn’t type it up for y’all. I am so embarrassed. Please forgive me!
Good news though, due to my mess up, I’m doing an EXTRA reading! I will post it first thing tomorrow morning.
Now to catch up to this week! Remember, Venus is in serious retrograde (in Scorpio) and this is a period of significant change. This week’s reading just reinforces that.
Monday/Tuesday – We begin the week with 2 The High Priestess and Sail. The High Priestess card is early in the Fool’s journey, and this portion of the adventure is guided by emotions and feelings. What else is there so early? Certainly not wisdom, at least not yet. The period of change being thrust upon us is just more than we can handle sometimes. Just remember, you are supposed to be here. So suck it up, buttercup. Sail reminds us that while this is going to be very difficult, it will be worth it. We just have to have courage and recognize that staying afloat can equal success.
The fun part about posting readings late, you can check the reading to see if anything happened that could tie to what is said.
Wednesday/Thursday – Mid-week brings us 12 Awakening and Wind. So here we are facing these unexpected life changes. We are facing things we have ignored for much too long. Awakening says to us, would a different approach be better? Wind reminds us that sometimes, no matter how hard we try, change sucks. And sometimes, changes is not so bad.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday – Finally the weekend! Don’t get too excited though. Remember, change is hard. The weekend brings us Three of Fire and East. The Three of Fire warns us that while we are feeling slightly successful during this period of drastic change, we aren’t finished so don’t stop now. We have to be patient. We have to promote ourselves. It isn’t self-centered, I promise. An important job is on the horizon. Again, patience. East throws a new loop into it all by giving us rules, structure, and responsibility. The job could be governmental, but usually East pertains to a lack of flexibility.

Weekly Outlook Oct 8 – 14
Another week down. How was last week for you? Did you notice the beginnings of big changes? What about a new love interest? And on the weekend, did you pause and appreciate what you already have – because guess what, you’ve got everything you need. Unless you need jewelry. But that’s another post.
This week is going to focus on home and finances, good old Earth pops up twice and both times it’s in reverse. If you’ll recall, that means we really need to pay attention to those. With Venus being retrograde right now, if home and finances is an area you need to improve, pay close attention this week – especially to the beginning and end – the Earth cards.
Check out what my favorite Astrology friend says about Venus Retrograde over at Astro Butterfly. Here’s an excerpt from their home page:
This is one of the most intense Venus retrograde we have had in a while. Why? Firstly, because it’s in Scorpio. Usually, that’s ‘enough said’. Scorpio is the sign of change and transformation. After any serious Scorpio transit, something inside you changes forever. Once you emerge from the storm, you’re never the same person again.
Scorpio is the sign of hidden things, so Venus retrograde will expose your most hidden secrets, especially those related to love and relationships. No matter how happy our relationships are, there is always stuff buried deep inside.
– from Astrology October 2018 – Venus goes Retrograde
Don’t forget, if you are interested on your strengths during this time, you can get a retrograde specific reading through the form below.
Monday/Tuesday we have the Two of Earth in reverse, and Zeal (Turn Signals). As you make decisions this week, remember, your plate is pretty full. The Universe says it is overflowing because you are doing too much. You may feel like you need to, but you should re-evaluate. Are you really gaining by working more/longer. Your full plate may also be keeping you from your true passions. If the two coincide, that will help, but my suspicion is that they do not. It’s rare for the Universe to say “hey, look, isn’t this great?!” Instead it usually says, “hey, change this, so that things can improve.”
Wednesday/Thursday we have the King of Air and Lead, a very powerful combination. The King of “think about it” encourages us to take advice from an intelligent professional because we are forgetting to weigh the emotional aspects (aka, our emotions are getting in the way). Lead says you will inspire others and offer guidance. You might be asking how, especially if we can’t separate our emotions right now. Well, actually, because you asked for help, that will be inspirational. Or maybe there is something else you have expertise in, and can offer support and leadership.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday we have the Six of Earth (reversed) and Tree. Another fantabulous combination (yep, I used a made up word). The Six of Earth reminds us that a grateful heart is rewarded with gifts of money, time, and or effort. Because it is reversed, it is even more possible or you will receive even more gifts, I can’t tell. Whatever is coming your way will make you feel like you are stable. Suddenly you have the confidence to let yourself feel strong. You know you’ve earned others loyalty and new career opportunities and paying off debts are becoming possible.

Weekly Outlook Oct 1 – 7
Can y’all believe it’s October?!? People say in TX it doesn’t matter, but these cooler, rainy days tell me otherwise. Oh well, if it would just cool off 5-8 more degrees at night so I can turn off the air conditioner.
Y’all aren’t here to talk weather though. You’re here to see what this week has in store. We only have a few days before Venus goes full retrograde, and it appears she’s showing her signs early.
Monday and Tuesday bring us 8 Justice and Y’all. Remember, any numbered card is a major arcana and references major life events. 8 Justice is about a life changing decision. Sound familiar? Anyone between 73 and 77? Fortunately, Y’all let’s us know we will have support no matter what we choose. We always have a team, we just forget sometimes.
Wednesday and Thursday we have the Queen of Water and Zero. This one is interesting to me. Have you been having relationship problems? Are you feeling lonely? Zero reminds us we have a lack mentality. It’s all about perception. Are you lonely? Maybe. Is it because your spouse doesn’t like you anymore OR because life happens and you work different shifts? The Queen of Water says our relationships will evolve to new levels. They absolutely will when you shift your perception. Venus retrograde drives many to want that major love. Don’t discredit what you’ve got too easily. You may already have your soul-mate.
Finally, Friday, Saturday and Sunday offers us the Three of Fire and Very. Let’s start with Very, telling us to double-down on (or take extremely seriously) it’s partner, Three of Fire. Pause for a moment, do you feel that? Whatever it is you’ve been searching for, you’ve found it. You just may not have noticed. Pause for a moment. Celebrate. But don’t stop your forward momentum. Keep that fire and drive burning. You’ve got this.
