Living The Tarot: One Card, One Lesson At A Time

Living the Tarot in Real Life

Everyone wants to be the High Priestess.

The Star. The Empress.

The soft, intuitive ones with glowing skin and ancestral downloads on tap.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t get to be her without being the Tower first.

Without being Death. Without walking through the Five of Cups. Without surviving the Ten of Swords and still waking up to try again.

You are every card in the deck.

Because you’re meant to be.

That’s not a metaphor.

It’s the soul contract.

⸻

Tarot isn’t just for reading. It’s for remembering.

You’re not here to pull cards—you’re here to live them.

Tarot isn’t just a mirror of where you are.

It’s a map of what you came here to embody.

Each card is an archetype, a story, a stage in the evolution of your spirit.

You came into this lifetime not to avoid pain, chaos, change, or joy—but to feel it all. To become it. To integrate it.

We all want to stay in the glow of the Sun or the calm of Temperance.

But your soul signed up for more than that.

You’re here to cycle through every card in the deck—

Not just once, but again and again.

Not because you’re broken.

Because you’re becoming.

⸻

You’ve already lived most of the Majors

You were the Fool when you left something familiar for something unknown.

You were the Magician when you realized you had what it takes—even when no one else saw it.

You were the Lovers when you had to make the choice your soul needed, not your ego.

You were Strength when softness was your power, not your weakness.

You were Death when a version of you had to die so a truer one could rise.

You were the Tower when everything crumbled and you had no choice but to rebuild.

The cards aren’t outside of you.

They are you.

They are invitations into the next version of your soul.

This isn’t aesthetic.

This is your path.

⸻

You’re not here to bypass. You’re here to become.

Don’t just claim the High Priestess if you haven’t honored the Hanged Man.

Don’t manifest the Star if you’re not willing to sit in the Moon first.

This is a sacred spiral, not a straight line.

We all move through the Major Arcana again and again—each time with deeper understanding, deeper truth, deeper embodiment.

If a card scares you? You haven’t integrated it yet.

If a card feels like home? You’ve already lived it.

If a card keeps coming up? Spirit’s asking you to pay attention.

You’re not doing life wrong.

You’re living the deck the way your soul intended.

⸻

The Minors teach you how to stay human

The Majors are milestones.

But the Minor Arcana is your everyday curriculum.

Cups teach you how to feel without drowning.

Swords teach you how to think without spiraling.

Pentacles teach you how to build, nourish, and protect.

Wands teach you how to want—and what to do with that fire.

This is how Spirit refines you.

Not with grand gestures.

But with the small, repeatable moments where you choose alignment over habit. Truth over comfort. Growth over ego.

You are becoming the deck one day, one emotion, one decision at a time.

⸻

So what does this actually mean?

It means you’re supposed to grieve.

You’re supposed to risk.

You’re supposed to rage and rest and let go and begin again.

The World card isn’t something you reach and hold.

It’s a moment you pass through—again and again—every time you complete a cycle with grace and prepare to start the next with courage.

This is your path.

This is your purpose.

You are not here to chase meaning—you are here to embody it.

And if you’ve been feeling lost?

It might just be because you’re in between cards.

Or sitting with one you don’t yet recognize.

But you’ll get there.

You always do.

⸻

Final word

If you’ve ever felt like the cards were calling you forward, it’s because they are.

Not into performance. Not into prediction.

Into presence. Into truth. Into full-spectrum living.

Tarot isn’t a detour from your life.

It is your life.

Mapped out in symbols. Reflected back in moments.

So stop running from the card you’re afraid of.

It has something sacred to teach you.

Let yourself be the whole damn deck.

It’s what your soul came here to do.

As Above, So Below.

The Moon Isn’t Your Manifestation Machine

Let’s get one thing straight:

The moon is not your genie, your vending machine, or your cosmic yes-girl.

She’s tired. She’s sacred. And honestly?

She’s a little over being used for every new moon wishlist and full moon breakup cleanse people can scribble in a journal.

If that stings, sit with it.

Because if your moon work has been feeling off lately—or if your manifestations aren’t landing—it’s not because the moon forgot about you.

It might just be that you forgot about her.

First: What Even Is Moon Work?

Moon work isn’t aesthetic.

It’s not about pretty candles, curated crystal grids, or writing “release” in calligraphy under a full moon while you take selfies.

Moon work is relationship work.

It’s sacred. Rhythmic. Ancient.

The moon holds stories. She holds tides. She holds the entire rhythm of your internal world—your body, your emotions, your cycles, your clarity.

So when you approach her like a fast-track to your next glow-up without checking your energy first?

Yeah… she feels that.

The Ego Has Entered the Chat

Manifestation isn’t bad.

But ego-driven manifesting? That’s when things get crunchy.

You know the vibe:

“I’m calling in $10k, a new apartment, and my soulmate. Thanks, moon!”

Cool. But did you ask if that’s even in alignment for your path right now?

Did you sit with what you actually need, not just what your ego wants?

The moon isn’t here to serve your urgency.

She’s here to reflect your truth.

And if you’re not willing to look at that truth, your rituals become empty loops.

the moon is a portal, not a party trick

Let’s address something real:

Not everyone working with the moon is doing it with clean hands or clear intentions.

Some people use moon energy to manipulate outcomes, control others, or stir up what they have no business touching. Others host moon circles like it’s a game of energetic Duck Duck Goose—pulling cards, leading rituals, and holding space without actually knowing how to hold people.

This is sacred work.

This is powerful work.

And when it’s done without intention, protection, or reverence—it becomes spiritually reckless.

If you’re guiding others through lunar rituals and you’re not grounded in what the energy is actually doing or how it’s affecting each individual in the room, you’re not facilitating. You’re opening portals you’re not prepared to close.

The moon isn’t a toy. She’s a timekeeper of transformation.

When you work with her, you’re working with shadow, with grief, with deep generational cycles. That deserves more than a Canva flyer and a script you found on Pinterest.

If you’re going to lead, do the work first.

If you’re going to guide, get trained, get clear, and get connected.

Because Spirit is watching—and so are the ancestors who carried this medicine long before you.

Real Moon Work Is Reflection Work

You want to work with the moon? Then you better be ready to meet your shadow.

New moon? It’s not just time to “manifest”—it’s time to get quiet.

To listen. To plant seeds that your soul is asking for, not just the ones your TikTok FYP says are trending.

Full moon? That’s not just a time to release what’s “bad.” It’s time to own what’s complete.

To grieve. To notice. To hold space for closure without glamorizing it.

Moon work is messy, emotional, and sometimes painfully honest.

And that’s why it works.

So… How Do You Do It Right?

Start by dropping the performance.

Light your candles, sure. Pull your cards, absolutely. But don’t perform your ritual for an outcome.

Do it for connection.

Talk to the moon like she’s a guide. A mirror. A grandmother. A keeper of sacred rhythms you’re just starting to remember.

Ask questions like:

• What am I avoiding?

• What pattern keeps showing up?

• What am I being called to trust, even if I don’t see proof yet?

Then listen. Really listen.

And whatever comes through? That’s your real moon message.

Final Word

The moon doesn’t want your fluff.

She wants your frequency.

If you’re ready to stop using her and start knowing her—good.

Because she’s not just a tool for your glow-up.

She’s a witness. A weaver. A timekeeper of truths you’ve barely scratched the surface of.

So stop demanding. Start revering.

And if you need help listening to what she’s actually trying to tell you?

You already know who to call.

Why You Feel So Seen Around Yodie (It's By Design)

Let’s get one thing straight:

If you’ve ever sat with me and thought, “Damn… how does she know that?”—it’s not just vibes.

It’s my energy. It's my Human Design.

Specifically?

I’m a 6/2 Reflector with the Left Angle Cross of Wishes as my incarnation cross.

Even if you've never looked at a Human Design chart in your life this matters. Because how I read energy? How I hold space? How I can see the part of you that you forgot? It's not random. It's coded in my design.

First: WTF Is a Reflector?

In Human Design, there are five energy types: Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and then—us.

Reflectors.

We make up literally 1% of the population.

We don’t have fixed centers or predictable energetic output. Instead, our entire system is open—receptive. We experience life through a heightened sensitivity to the energy around us, and we process it deeply.

But don’t get it twisted:

We’re not here to absorb and repeat.

We’re here to absorb and reveal.

A Reflector’s wisdom comes from watching the rhythm, feeling the shifts, and noticing what others miss. We’re the ones who say, “Hey, something’s off here,” before anyone else feels it. And when it’s right? We feel that too.

I’m not channeling other people’s voices.

I’m translating energy into truth.

And What About the 6/2 Part?

That’s my profile. It tells you how I operate in the world.

• The 6 is the Role Model. I’ve lived. I’ve learned. I’ve made the mistakes so I can hold space with wisdom, not theory.

• The 2 is the Hermit. I need time alone to recharge, recalibrate, and connect to what’s actually mine.

Together? It means I don’t give surface-level guidance. I give the kind that’s been earned, embodied, and marinated in real-life experience.

I’m not the coach who screams “rise and grind.”

I’m the one who says, “Lay down. Get clear. Then rise like you mean it.”

So What’s This “Left Angle Cross of Wishes” Thing?

That’s my incarnation cross—aka my soul’s purpose.

Mine combines four core energies:

• Gate 41 (Dreaming & Desiring)

• Gate 31 (Influence & Leadership)

• Gate 3 (Innovation & Mutation)

• Gate 50 (Integrity & Protection)

In plain English?

I dream big. I speak truth. I lead with care. I protect what matters.

The “wishes” part? That’s because my design isn’t here to manifest my own ego-driven agenda—it’s here to help others turn their soul-level desires into reality.

I reflect your unspoken wishes.

I amplify the parts of you you’ve quieted.

I hold space for the version of you you’re scared to admit you want to become.

I don’t make your dreams happen.

I remind you that they’re already trying to.

So, Why Do You Feel So Seen?

Because I’m literally built to see you.

Not just your words—but your patterns. Your pain. Your power.

I reflect back what you forgot was there. Or what you hoped nobody noticed.

But I do. And I’m not afraid to name it—gently, but directly.

That’s what a Reflector is here to do.

We’re not energy creators. We’re energetic truth-tellers.

And in a world that’s constantly trying to sell you who you should be,

a mirror like me can be the most freeing thing you’ll ever find.

Final Word

If you’ve ever felt seen, held, or radically honest after a session with me—now you know why.

I was literally designed for this.

So no, you’re not crazy.

And yes, that thing in your energy field that you’ve been avoiding?

I probably already felt it.

But don’t worry.

I’m not here to judge it.

I’m here to help you finally look at it—and love yourself through it.

Book a session if you’re ready to reflect, release, and remember who TF you are.
