A Little Catch-Up, A Little Magic, and What’s Coming Next!

A hello, a new beginning, and an invitation to explore…

Hello, my fellow curious ones!

I know it’s been a while since we’ve connected. Life came at me in a deluge, and luckily, I’m a pretty good swimmer! But needless to say, the posts got caught up in the overflow.

So I’m here with a short (hopefully sweet) touch base, a little preview of exciting things coming very soon, and an invitation to explore some of the topics we love together as we continue discovering more of the truth in hand.

A New Home for Learning, Sharing, and Exploring

Speaking of which, do, please wander over and take a look at the new website! It’s still in its early stages, but we’re building out a learning annex for all things hands.

I’m finally getting the website I’ve always dreamed of, with a little help from a friend and her expertise in AI development. Here’s what I love about this: AI isn’t creating the content. It’s helping me do the heavy lifting of sorting, organizing, and categorizing all the things I’ve taught, researched, and shared over the years. That means more room for learning, exploring, and making connections.  Where can your questions and my research with experience come together for YOU.

And I’d love to hear what YOU want more of as we build!

An Invitation to Help Us Learn Together

For those interested, I’m putting together small groups where you can bring your questions (and your hands!) and we can explore them together.

With your permission, AI will help transcribe the questions and insights into learning modules that can benefit others, too. Your questions can go out into the world without your identity attached. In exchange, there will be an incredibly easy-to-say-yes-to price for participating.

One of the topics I’m especially excited to explore is how your attachment style in relationships might show up in the lines on your hands!

For example, shorter, straighter heart lines can be associated with more avoidant tendencies in partnerships. What might that look like in your relationships? And what else might your hands reveal?

THE SKY: A Scorpio New Moon and the Power of Possibility

Now, for a little teaser on today’s New Moon in Scorpio!

This is a New Moon with some inner tension, and a good reason to pause, reflect, and look a little deeper before deciding where to put your energy.

We have Mars, the South Node, and Jupiter meeting up in Leo this week. On the upside, this brings spiritually inspired courage and the desire to take the lead through heart-centered, right action. The kind that includes your own well-being without leaving everyone else out of the equation.

There’s an interesting distinction here: leading from the heart isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about recognizing what needs to change and having the courage to demonstrate it through your own actions.

The eclipse points have been activated, bringing braver, bolder leadership into focus. A true leader inspires others through what they do, not simply what they demand.

But there’s a shadow side, too. When the rock gets turned over, everything underneath is exposed to the light. If someone has been operating from a self-serving power trip, the underbelly and potential rot become much harder to conceal.

Power structures are being challenged, both on the larger world stage and in our personal lives. When those who have shared their power with governments, institutions, or individual leaders begin correcting imbalances, the structures that once seemed immovable can start to tumble.

Especially when those at the top forget who they are meant to serve.

THE CHOICE: Explore Before You Expand

We’re in the final stretch of this Saturn Retrograde in Aries, and there’s a question worth sitting with:

Can you hold yourself appropriately accountable for where power is out of balance? Can you take even one action to step in, or ask someone else to ease up on an exchange that has become lopsided?

Be curious about the inspired actions that come to mind. Those are good places to explore before acting on any one idea.

There’s a fascinating connection here to the Tarot’s language of possibility. What we notice, where we place our attention, and the choices we make all influence which possibilities we begin to bring into our lived experience.

Think of this as an opportunity to observe your own reactions before deciding what they mean. Let what comes to mind reveal more about who you are now, what moves you, and what you’re ready to change.

You have more impact, strength, and influence available to you than you may realize.

But right now, this is more a time to explore than to expand. The expansion is coming, rather dramatically, by the next Full Moon. First, do the groundwork. You’ll be much more thrilled than rocked when the adjustments begin snapping into place.

And here’s a little homework for your inner critic and judge: have them search for bookends!

If they immediately point out the worst-case scenario, insist they include the best-case possibility, too. Neither outcome is a foregone conclusion. Both deserve a place in the conversation.

A LITTLE MORE PERSPECTIVE: Power Without Power Over

“Saturn in Aries asks you to stand behind your actions and take responsibility for your choices. The gathering of planets in Leo reminds you that how you carry yourself matters just as much as what you do.”

Make sure people feel heard and seen, just as you would like to feel heard and seen yourself. It will be hard to go too far wrong when you begin there.

Stay open to hearing where others have struggled with the status quo and where they fall in wanting more or less of it.

Just remember: someone asking for something doesn’t automatically make them entitled to it. But neither does your initial discomfort mean their request is unreasonable.

Take the discussion to a neutral place as best you can. Mercury is still retrograde and takes a bit to clear the shadow even after it’s direct on the 13th.  Think of that neutral spot as a time-out bench where you can review what’s been said, consider the possibilities, and look at the exchange from more than one perspective before settling on a fixed point of view.  After you let the big emotions have their say in an internal conversation, of course.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is feel it and then allow yourself to see something differently.

TAROT COMPANION: Four Cards, One Conversation

Mind/Judgement •Body/ Ace of Wands •Heart/ Two of Pentacles •/Spirit/ The Moon

There’s a particularly interesting story in these four cards. Rather than four separate predictions, I see them as a progression: awakening, inspiration, integration, and discernment.

And there’s a lovely way to explore this through quantum-inspired thinking.

Quantum theory introduces us to a world in which possibility, observation, and the relationships between things challenge some of our familiar assumptions about how reality works. We can use those ideas as metaphors for our own experiences, without suggesting that Tarot or human choices literally operate according to quantum mechanics.

The cards offer a language for exploring how we move from what is possible to what we actually choose to experience.

1. Judgement: Wake Up to What Is Possible

Judgement is an invitation to see yourself, and perhaps a situation you’ve been living with, through a different lens.

Something is ready to be recognized. Not necessarily something entirely new, but something you may not have been willing or able to see before.

Through a quantum-inspired lens, think of this as the moment of observation: when you turn your attention toward something, you begin to recognize possibilities that were previously outside your awareness.

What are you noticing now that you might have overlooked before? What old story are you ready to reconsider?

Judgement asks us to stop operating on autopilot and recognize that we have choices about what comes next.

2. Ace of Wands: The Spark of a New Possibility

Once something becomes visible, inspiration can follow.

The Ace of Wands is that first spark of energy, enthusiasm, or courage that makes you want to do something differently. It’s potential looking for an opportunity to become action.

In our quantum-inspired conversation, this is the realm of possibility before it takes a particular form. There may be several ways forward, and you don’t have to know which one is right just yet.

The important thing is to notice what genuinely inspires you.

Is it a new direction? A conversation you’ve been avoiding? A creative idea? A willingness to stand up for something that matters?

Don’t confuse the first spark with the finished plan. Let the inspiration develop before you decide where it belongs. This is the fire element – so it’s not yet a call to act.

3. Two of Pentacles: Finding Your Balance in Motion

Here’s where things get interesting.

The Two of Pentacles reminds us that life isn’t static. We’re constantly adjusting, responding, weighing priorities, and finding ways to keep things moving.

A new possibility doesn’t exist in isolation. It interacts with everything else in our lives: our responsibilities, relationships, resources, and the needs of others.

Think of this as an interconnected system. A change in one area can influence another, sometimes in ways we don’t anticipate.

The quantum-inspired parallel here is interconnectedness and the importance of relationships between parts of a larger whole.

Your choices matter, but so does the environment in which those choices unfold. This is where the Two of Pentacles moves from spark into shared action.

This card asks: Can you remain flexible without losing your footing? Can you make room for your own needs while recognizing those of others?

Balance isn’t about keeping everything exactly as it was. Sometimes it’s about learning to move differently.

4. The Moon: Trust the Exploration Before You Declare the Answer

And here comes The Moon, reminding us that not everything is visible yet.

There are unknowns, emotional undercurrents, assumptions, and perhaps a few things that need more time in the light before we can understand them clearly.

This is especially important when we’re tempted to make an immediate decision based on what we think we know.

In a quantum-inspired interpretation, The Moon represents the limits of what we can presently observe and the many possibilities that remain unresolved from our perspective.

It also reminds us that perception isn’t always the same as reality.

What looks threatening may simply be unfamiliar. What feels certain may be an old fear wearing a new outfit. And what appears to be the obvious answer may be only one interpretation of what’s happening.

The Moon asks us to stay curious, listen to our intuition, and allow more information to emerge before making something permanent.

It isn’t a warning to distrust everything. It’s an invitation to discernment.

Bringing the Four Together

What I love about this particular combination is its sequence:

Judgement wakes us up. The Ace of Wands inspires us. The Two of Pentacles helps us find our footing. The Moon reminds us that we don’t have all the answers yet.

Together, they offer a wonderful reminder that recognizing a possibility isn’t the same as needing to act on it immediately.

We can observe, become inspired, explore how a change might affect the larger picture, and allow the unknowns to reveal themselves.

The future isn’t something we have to force into existence. It’s something we participate in shaping through our attention, choices, and actions.

And perhaps that’s the greatest invitation of this New Moon: to become more conscious of the possibilities we’re entertaining and the ones we’re actually willing to bring to life.

A FINAL THOUGHT

You may be standing closer to a meaningful change than you realize. But don’t mistake the first glimpse of possibility for a demand to have everything figured out.

Explore. Question. Listen. Look for the places where a little adjustment could create a much more equitable exchange.

And remember that you don’t have to take power away from someone else to stand more fully in your own.

Hopefully, this gives you a little food for thought. Thank you for your patience, your inquiries, and for continuing to be curious alongside me.

I’m really looking forward to finding new ways for us to play, learn, and explore together.

All curious minds and hands are welcome!

The cards and stars will help. The rest is up to us.
