With two Queens showing up in the reading this month, July asks us to truly to commit to internal self care and internal belief and visions. Particularly, with the Queen of Wands, the question to ask yourself is: “If I were a witch, and could wave my wand to transform any situation as I wanted it to be, what would that look like, and how could I start to bring that into reality?” July looks like a fast month that will also ask us to set boundaries, investigate our thoughts, and not burn out. In Feng Shui, July is peak yang - the most fire energy of the year - and particularly in the year of the Fire Horse, burnout can be a concern. So take good care of yourself, slow down when and where you can, and ride the wave of this month.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Ready to deepen into Tarot as a tool to help clarity, boundaries, and decision making in your life? Plus, learn to read for others?! All in a like-minded community where you can share and explore your spirituality in a safe and non-judgmental space? Then come join Catherine for a weekend Tarot & journaling retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains this August! All details here, just a few spots left.
• Join me Tuesday, July 14th, for a workshop inside our Trust the Universe membership: Tarot to get unstuck. I don't know about you, but I feel like a lot of us are more ready to expand, but bogged down in the liminal sticky space of what is done... but we're not sure what's coming next. Just hanging in the void! Cool cool cool. Well, Tarot to the rescue! I'll talk a bit about the Moon and the Hanged Man card, who teach us how to sit in, and grow through the liminal space, show you how to use the cards to cut through the noise, get clear on what's really going on, and find your way forward. We'll also have time to practice reading Tarot for one another! Two hours, $44, cancel anytime, register here.
• Want to get a mini Tarot reading from me in person? I’m doing mini readings on July 12th at Potomac River Interiors in Brunswick, Maryland! Details here (scroll down), only a few openings left.
