Sunday Tarot - 11.19.2023

Today as I was shuffling my cards and thinking of you, my love, my gaze wandering as the cards shifted in my hands, I noticed that two cards in my deck were facing up. I thought perhaps I had messed up my stack of cards in the shuffling process - despite being raised in a household that loves card games, I am a clumsy shuffler and this happens often - so I spread out my deck on the table, but only these two cards had flipped, and I could tell they were the cards that wanted to speak with you.

Your cards for this week are The Alchemist (better known as The Magician) and The Moon.

You are a powerful being, capable of magic beyond your imagination. I’m not talking about the ability to fly or transfigure, I’m not delivering you a written invitation to a wizard school in a remote location. The energy in the room is changed when you enter it. The sound of your voice lends a hue to the memories of those who hear it.

The warmth of your touch that radiates deeper than skin, the vibration of your laugh, the way it feels to share a comfortable silence with you, all evidence of the spells you weave without even trying.

This combination of cards tells me that you are aware, perhaps afraid, of your own power. You reflect on your creations in private - relationships, patterns, or creative work - whether you celebrate them or despise them, you hide from the fact that you conjured them.

The Alchemist reminds you that you are always creating yourself through your choices, that you have the power to transform as many times as you want in this life, but you can only wield that power if you acknowledge it in the light of day.

As Spider-Man says, “With great power comes great responsibility”. The cards ask, gently, are you ready to take responsibility for your creations? Bring them into the sunlight, see how they look. The people who love you (myself among them) are eager to see who you become when you realize your own greatness.

I’ll be in the front row.

Yours,

Sammi
