  My 41st birthday is in a few days! I thought I would write a personal post today and share with you all a tarot spread I made up to reflect on the previous year. This is my reflection on my 40th year around the sun.  1. What is one highlight from the past year that I should be proud of? Seven of Swords - I knew when I was being emotionally manipulated. I cut off toxic relationships and let go of people who weren't good for me. I no longer went back to people that were harming me. I took my power back. This is true as I ended my two year relationship with my on again-off-again long distance boyfriend. I realized we were stuck in an emotional loop of emotional manipulation. We manipulated each other. And I broke that cycle. 2-3: What challenges did I face and how did I grow from it? Two of Cups, Eight of Swords - I faced challenges in my relationships with others and with myself. I grew by realizing I was putting limitations on myself. In my relationships with others, I grew...

  Back to Reality Tarot Spread This tarot spread is for the students returning to school and for the people who are returning to work after having a summer vacation or Labor Day weekend here in the States. I got inspiration from the song in the Honey Nut Cheerios commercial that played throughout August in the United States (watch the commercial here ). The Back to Reality tarot spread is a quick four-card spread to help you ground into the transition. It focuses on your current thoughts (such as excitement, nervousness, anxious etc) and feelings surrounding going back to school or work,  challenges you may face that could hold you back (such as time management, workload etc.), some practical advice to make the year most successful, and what will help you feel emotionally engaged, motivated, and positive throughout the transition. Let's take a look at the spread! Current Approach – How you’re currently thinking about or handling your return to school/work. Are you nervous, an...
