“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!

You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

Week ahead tarot 🃏​​​​​​​​

Page of Pentacles - How are you showing up as “the student” right now? What are you yearning to learn or how are you working towards developing a new skill set? That’s what the Page of Pentacles wards over. Our thirst for knowledge. Our willingness to expand. So engage playfully in this space this week, it doesn’t need to be so serious. Don’t worry about fumbling or making mistakes, that makes you better in the end​​​​​​​​.

Justice - this card, more than anything else, is about accepting the truth that’s in front of you. It doesn’t matter if it’s fair, or hurts, or you know it could have turned out different, it didn’t and you have to respond to hats real and in front of you. If you’re having trouble grounding into the truth grab a trusted friend and talk it through. Focus on what you can control and move past the rest for now.

I’ve spent the last six months of my life working on this zodiac collection. Each begins as a pencil drawing before being scanned in to do the color in photoshop. Each zodiac was thoughtfully designed with florals that connect back to each sign. I hope you love yours ❤️ they are all available now on my website.

Energy of the week Four of Cups

Mars in Taurus conjoining North Node and Uranus today may leave things running a little hot this week. Four of Cups reminds us that we don’t need to always be a yes, sometimes saying no is the best decision we can make for ourselves and others. Be mindful of how much you are taking on and how you’re dividing up your time right now.

Lesson of the week Ace of Swords

Leaving something behind may give you the space you need to finally dive into a new idea you’ve been ruminating on. If you’ve been talking yourself out of it ask why, is it just fear or are their valid reasons to wait on it? This isn’t the time for any sudden decisions, ruminate on it, make a pros and cons list, but ultimately if it’s only fear holding you back then it might be time to move through it and take the leap.

Tarot reading for the week ✨

Energy of the week? Nine of Cups

What are you proud of at the moment? Have you even thought about it lately? The Nines in tarot tend to be this moment for us to stand back and take in everything we’ve accomplished and how far we’ve come. Adding in the cups here and we see the culmination of an emotional journey. Use this weeks New Moon as a place to set your intention towards jump starting the next phase of this journey, or the beginning of a brand new one.

Lesson of the week? Five of Cups

This five is a reminder to strive for balance during some sort of grieving process. It’s about understanding that feeling and processing your grief is as important as remembering that you’re grieving will change and evolve and joy will always return if you’re open to it. These two cup cards show us heading into a highly emotional week. Try to keep you’re feet firmly planted in reality and make sure to check in with your feelings before acting on anything. Are you’re feelings rooted in the truth or in story? Ask a friend if you need clarity.

Full Moon I’m Capricorn

What can I release? Ace of Wands

It could be that we’ve been feeling extra impulsive, or flighty, when it comes to projects or our work. While the Ace of Wands can often mean a spark of inspiration, it can also remind us of our tendency to pick something up only to get bored after a few weeks. Make sure any new projects your taking on have a solid possibility of longevity.

Why are my obstacles? Page of Swords

Using your voice may be difficult right now. During Cancer season our emotions are running high and during this Full Moon in Capricorn you may find your responses are harsher than you mean them to be. Take a beat before speaking right now, does what you want to say need to be said or is it better left for now especially if emotions are already running high.

Who is my guide? Judgment

What’s guiding your assumptions right now? Is it the present moment or the distant past? We have to exist in a world that’s triggering, those we encounter won’t know the list of our past hurts. So this is about trying to remain in the moment and reflect when we feel fired up by others in our life. Did they mean to cause us harm or are we judging the situation based on the past? It’s important to be clear so we can properly respond and communicate to what’s actually happening in front of us. The logical energy of the Cap moon can help us stay grounded in this lesson.

Week ahead Tarot Reading for the Collective

Energy of the week Queen of Swords

All air energy from our cards as we fly into this week. The Queen here asks what words you’ve been holding onto that are desperate to be released. This archetype speaks from the heart, they are clear and concise, there’s no room to argue with their words or doubt them. So, take a pause before you speak up this week, make sure you aren’t rushing through an explanation that needs more clarity.

Lesson of the week Knight of Swords

A Full Moon week can always bring up chaotic feelings for us, and the Knight is here to validate those feelings. Sometimes things just feel like they are moving a bit too fast, so how can we keep up without feeling overwhelmed? Make sure everything on your plate belongs there, a full moon is a great time to let go and shed away whatever we carry that doesn’t belong. So by Wednesday have a very clear understanding of anything you can delegate away and begin to do so.

✨Journaling with Tarot✨ If you’re like me and figuring out a journaling prompt is difficult for you, using tarot cards as your prompt can help you hone in on a topic. Sometimes journaling can get my head spiraling instead of grounded and focused, using a card takes all the worry of finding the perfect prompt out of it. To me, tarot is best used as a self reflection tool, even in readings that’s my focus, so using the cards like this is really just an extension of an ever evolving practice. Some simple ideas: pull a single card and ask … How is this card showing up in my life right now? When have I embodied this card? How can this lesson help me in my current situation? What does it’s lesson mean to me? Who in my life is the best example of this card? . It doesn’t need to be complicated. Doing this not only give you a journal prompt but also helps you learn about tarot in a way that relates back to you life and makes the most sense for you ✨ (at Rochester, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfw4gcou_oZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
