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

This Week's TarotScope 8/18 - 8/24 2025

So sorry for the delay with this week's post, but I have been down with Covid since Thursday. I'm slowly getting some energy back after nearly 4 days of bedrest. I do have some amazing things to share that has happened this month so far! A friend has a rescue cat that had been pregnant and that lovely little cat gave birth to 4 adorable little floofs on the Lion's Gate of August 8. After Boomerang's passing, Narga, Athena, and Lux have missed having another cat in the home. We'll be welcoming the new arrival in October once they are fully weened and at least 8 weeks old. I think Lux will be happy to be a "mother" again. She sort of empty nested once Narga was about a year old. To prepare for the new arrival, it's time for The Fierce Nargacuga to be spayed. She's two years old now and it's best we do this now so that she has time to heal before we bring in a rambunctious kitten. Narga goes in for her surgery on Thursday this week. Other than that, I'll be taking this week to recover from Covid which brings us back around to this week's energy. How are we all stepping back this week?

XVIII The Siren

This week is all about going all in. Go deeper. Ask the deeper questions. Go for the hidden secrets of the soul. Autumn approaches and with it the temptation of the shadows and darker corners. The whispers of knowledge beckon. What have you hidden even from yourself? What are you willing to know and embrace? Just when you think you are deep enough there are more depths to explore. It’s time to jump all in and find the treasure.

Energy coming forward: 7 of Pentacles

This week you’ll have the patience to step back and evaluate your goals. Remember we are coming out of Mercury’s retrograde and that shadow energy will persist throughout the week, so step back. Relax and take a look at the progress you’ve made, evaluate where you want to be. Are your goals still in line with your current energy or has there been a shift? It’s time to adjust the sails before moving forward. 

Challenge: 4 of Pentacles

For someone who needs to feel that they are in control of every situation, this may be a challenging week as you do a deep dive into the unknown. Sometimes it’s best to let yourself go and ride where the waves are taking you. Let go of the need to be in control at all times. Discover the beauty within chaos. 

Focus: 4 of Wands

Focus less on how far you have to go in your personal journey and more on what you’ve already accomplished and completed. Allow yourself to enjoy the little victories. Your journey of self discovery isn’t going to end, there is always going to be something new waiting for you. Enjoy what you have in the moment this week. 

What Does It All Mean For You?

Be mindful to practice being present in the present moment. Whatever needs your attention will still be there 5 minutes from now. Carve out some self care time. Take a look at where you are in your life now vs where you were when you made certain goals. Re-evaluate how much these goals mean to you and whether they are still in alignment with your energy. Don't be afraid to adjust the course. Above all, relax. Not everything is going to be under your thumb and it's time to admit to yourself that that's ok.
