Welcome to Guiding Spirits Where I've Been Connecting the Living with the Living Impaired Since 2015

This Week's TarotScope 2/10 - 2/16 2025

I am just noticing that it has been about 2 weeks since my last post! Wow, I thought it had been only one! So sorry! Life happened ya'll, what can I say. I came down with a wicked cold and my old dog, Athena, is sick. I have a vet visit scheduled currently for 2/25 and hoping one opens up sooner for her. She's had a bladder infection, possibly due to kidney stones, so I'm changing her diet and filtering her water. I've also had my first two tests of the term in school over the last 2 weeks, one in Statistics and one in my Botany class. Made good solid B's on both, so chuffed about that. With my cold and Athena being sick, I crammed for the Botany exam an hour before the test. I went into my Stats exam confident that I would make at least a B and I actually studied for that one. Went in, took the exam, left that class feeling like I had completely failed that test. Got my test back the next class and passed with a B! The weather in the Panhandle is feeling summer like already, we don't get a spring here? I mean, come on, it's only mid February! On the brightside of that, the water is warming up and gorgeous and I need to make some time to swim. Finally, here is this week's energy in the cards! I hope you all have been enjoying the Alchemy deck as much as I have! This week's layout was a stunner! Just beautiful!

From The Wild Unknown Alchemy oracle by Kim Krans

LV Cauda Pavonis The Peacock’s Tail: Your perspective is taking a major shift from “black and white” to “full color!” Amidst a time of great political and social turmoil, this is a space to sink into and see things from a higher perspective. Think of the Peacock’s Tail as “a thousand eyes.” You are no longer seeing through one perspective with blinders on, but are now open to see many different perspectives. Appreciate the beauty you see now. Work with color this week. What are you drawn to, especially in your clothing? The colors you are drawn will compliment your aura and higher perspective. Wear them and see how your moods and mentality shift. 

LVI Contra Naturum Against Nature: As your perspective broadens, there may be things that you are stubbornly fighting against still. Let it go. Embrace the Peacock’s Tail. Think of the Serenity prayer, changing what you can, accepting what you can’t change and being wise enough to know the difference. You can’t control everything and you are not meant to. Remember that the universe will have balance, order and chaos. Don’t be shy to embrace a little chaos and appreciate the beauty that it, too, holds in your life. Don’t swim upstream, move within the flow. 

From Smith-Waite Tarot, pocket edition

Monday-Tuesday: 5 of Cups

The 5 of Cups is often a card of grief, and in this case, very connected to that energy of Contra Naturum. You can’t fight nature. Instead of remaining focused on the cups that are spilt and empty, focus on the remaining cups still full behind you. Work with what you have. Find the beauty in the chaos. 

Wednesday-Thursday: Page of Wands

After moving through any remaining chaos in your life, the rest of the week is about being prepared and getting prepared. Let the fire of the wands spark your imagination. Focus on a new idea and start preparing to move on it. A new leg of your life adventure is about to unfold. What will you dare to do this week?

Friday-The Weekend: Page of Pentacles

While the mid week is sparking ideas, how will you bankroll that? By the weekend, spend some organizing your finances and making a financial plan. You are about to step into a flow of abundance with careful planning. Pages often bring messages, so get ready for some good news to come your way. 

What Does It All Mean for You?

Embrace a new perspective. In today's social climate, agree to disagree and move on. While you can't control everything that happens to you, you do have control over how you react to it. Give yourself a day to make some plans and organize your finances a bit in order to prepare for what lies ahead. Be inspired and take action.
