How to make the most of this week 🎯 … After the past few weeks of heart excavation, Mars in Capricorn will shift the rubble and help you blaze a path out of Hades. Mercury, meanwhile, is in scout mode, backtracking over Venus’ retrograde trail. Our psychopomp will bring a forensic eye to everything we shed in the underworld. You can now draft the blueprints for future desires and translate any lingering shadows. Finally, Venus stations direct with the thunder-clap of Sun square Uranus, bringing a charge of electricity to the journey out.

Tarot card of the week 🃏 … The Devil is a card of material bondage and carnal pleasures. Whether it’s the short-term gains of late capitalism or our own patterns of addiction (or “cat and mouse”), this card acquaints us with our shadows and growth edges. Though we can delude ourselves into thinking we are helpless to change negative habits, we have the power to break free of them. This horned kitty has no “owner” but itself. The Devil card also corresponds to the sign Capricorn, where the current pile-up is taking place.

Affirmation of the week 😌 … I honor my spidey senses. I give myself the rest I need to not make werewolves out of shadows, but to trust my inherent knowing. I strive to identify the wisdom that helps me grow, even if it doesn’t register on anyone else’s curriculum. I define which rules I live by.
