Trusting Our Knowing: Tarot Reading

This week's guidance is from the Universe. The Advice Column

I haven’t done a collective tarot reading on Instagram in a while with the intention to pilot readings here. They are super fun for me, and I’d love to incorporate them into the newsletter. Since we all love the advice column, I’m thinking about doing more of these on the Yellow Brick Road. Your feedback matters A TON, so please let me know if you’re vibing with these by commenting, shooting me an email, whatever works for you! These offerings are free, but should you wish to send a tip, my Venmo is Kendra-Austin and subscribing is cute too!

As always, collective readings are a channeling of many, many people’s energy. It won’t resonate completely for everyone, and won’t present itself exactly the same in everyone’s life. Take what resonates, leave the rest! Your intuition is the most important guide, and the whole point is to help confirm the blessings and lessons surrounding us! Which is actually the message of this week’s reading ;)

This week, we’re staying open to offerings of abundance and growth. The Ace of Pentacles could be a sign of a new job, turning a passion project into new stream of income, literal direct deposit, or an offer to make something grounded into the physical - like defining relationship status or feeling worthy of something. A new founded sense of self-worth often results in abundance seemingly out of nowhere - where is growth calling your name?

Whatever is being presented should be a relief to you, a safe haven, a shift from choppy waters to smooth sailing. Perhaps the new opportunity requires you physically moving to a new place, as the 6 of Swords can imply travel - regardless we’re in a state of transition for all the best reasons. Overall, this new opportunity will lead to a new relationship with LOVE! What starts out as a chance to make money, grow your abundance, establish worthiness, could result in an overwhelming feeling of joy and contentment, an overflowing Ace of Cups so to speak. J’adore! New sense of love for ourselves and how we care for our heart could manifest externally as a creative project, friendship, or a new boo - what you do with it is up to you! Regardless, the magic of all of this newness is placing trust in your Knowing.

The upcoming week feels like we’re brushing up against fate. We don’t call in opportunity by chance. You’ve paid your dues, you did the work, now it’s time to reap the reward and accept everything you deserve. You’re worthy of that and then some. The lesson, however, is in trusting your intuition. The High Priestess is trusting what you feel is true, and not just what you see. The Universe has an interesting way of keeping us on our toes, sending us signs and synchronicities just as we enter a state of alignment with our higher self. You just know what’s coming. 8 of Pentacles is a reminder to not half-ass your new calling. You’re in an energy of dedication, determination, and mastery - time to eliminate distraction and be grounded in the present with trust that what’s to come is nothing short of magic.
