Hello Reader,

For inspiration today I decided to draw a couple cards from some of my favorite oracle decks.

The draw:
#1. Meditation from Vision of the Muse by Alejandra Luisa León​
#2. Surprise - Wild Card from Sustain Yourself by James Wanless​

The guidance:
Given that we are entering a Mercury retrograde this week, the oracle encourages us to meditate on the unexpected and unbridled.
​~ How can you attune to the energy of surprise and allow that support your intentions?
~ What is there for you to learn by focusing on that which you have no control of?

Oracle + Astrology + Tarot + Divination Care

Let’s explore, be curious and mindful about our tools of astrology, tarot, divination.

Are we feeling REady for Mercury in Pisces REtrograde (2/25-3/20)?
Get your RE’s REady for some watery + flowy time where we are invited to take a breath, slow down, check before (fill in the blank) energies.
As I write this, my headphones are blasting on repeat Van McKoy’s - The Hustle Original Mix ,REminding and inviting me to go with the flow.
- Check out Chani Nicholas + Jessica Lanyandoo (Thank you for your rule of RE’s).

Ingredients to explore for your mug of care this week:

RE’s: a dash, a splash, a sprinkle… Take a breath, check in with your systems.
​~ What RE’s are calling for some low and slow tending? How will you tend to them?

Beauty: Lately my morning prayers and meditation have called me to explore music and movement in my body. One of all time favorite albums, Tapestry by Carol King + the song: Beautiful, showed up on my mixing board. While on repeat, I found myself dancing, lip syncing and smiling because WE ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS WE FEEL. Thanks, Carol King.
​~ How can we explore and be with beauty this week in ways that light us up? How can we bee (🐝) with + feel beautiful?
