tarot journal begins

You've heard about fake Rolexes and fake friends. But how much do you know about fake tarot readers?

1. They downright threaten your life.

They start their videos by saying that something bad will happen to you if you don't finish watching the reel, the TikTok or the Short. It goes without saying that's not true. Fake tarot readers are fake witches too. They can't curse you. It's just better for the algorithm if you watch their whole video. And if they're monetized, it makes them earn more money too.

2. They also threaten you subtly.

They end their videos by saying that the Universe will treat you the way you treat their content. Which follows that if you like, share and save it, the Universe will also like you and save you and share blessings with you. So if you ignore the video, the Universe will also ignore you. No one who truly speaks for a higher power will threaten you for engagement, even discreetly.

3. They don't actually interpret the cards.

They already have a storyline or a script in their mind. And they're just pulling cards and showing them to you on screen, pretending that the message is coming from tarot. If you actually know even a little bit about tarot, you will notice that the cards they're showing are completely unrelated to what they're saying. They don't use tarot as an instrument. They use it as props.

4. They tell you exactly what you want to hear.

Exes really do come back. People really become millionaires. Dreams really do come true. But if their readings are always 100% positive to the point of exaggeration, and come with no careful disclaimers about energy alignment and the nature of general readings, then you are being fooled. I mean, if all you want is to feel good, then they're doing their job. But if you come to tarot for truth, you would be betraying yourself.

5. You're always the good guy in their story.

You know what? Most of the time, you are the good guy. People who seek tarot tend to be spiritual after all. But we all have a blind spot, and none of us is perfect. So sometimes, you are the villain. Why are you always the victim anyway if you're such a strong and wonderful person? It's a contradiction. Tarot readers who consistently talk crap about everyone in your life while praising you, want you to be addicted to them. They talk about your success, but they're using you for theirs.

When that day comes, you will smile. Actually, you will laugh.

Because you will have understood the irony of life.

That rejection has always been protection.

That loss has always been liberation.

Didn’t get the job? Your future self found a bigger offer.

Didn’t get the love of your life? Your future self met someone sweeter.

Didn’t get your dream home? Your future self is living somewhere better.

It’s not only comforting — it’s also true.

Life knows you.

The Universe knows you.

Your future self especially knows you.

They didn’t give it to you because they knew it would’ve made you miserable.

So be thankful.

You're often late to work.

And sometimes, you even forget what day it is.

Meanwhile, the Universe has never missed a single sunrise. A single winter. A single spring.

Your current weaknesses do not predict your future successes.

Don't stop, and be patient with your life. 

I’ve criticized modern astrologers many times for acting like every fucking New Moon and Mercury transit will change everyone’s lives.

But Uranus leaving Taurus truly will change your life and mine. No matter our Zodiac signs. No matter the degrees. No matter the aspects.

You see, Uranus in Taurus is like this war with Iran.

I’m not Iranian. I’m not American. I’m not Israeli. I don’t live anywhere near the UAE, Kuwait or Saudi.

Yet the gas prices at my local station have gotten crazy. My community mall is cutting hours to save energy. My electric bill is a lot bigger than it used to be.

Even though you may not be a Taurus or even another Fixed sign, Uranus being in Taurus affects us all. The way this war in Iran affects us all.

And now that he’s moving into Gemini in a couple of days, we will all be affected positively. Just like we all would be when the war ends eventually.

What you need to know about Uranus is that he is the God of Lawful Chaos. He shakes you up to improve you, not to destroy you.

Taurus, however, doesn’t like being shaken. At all. No matter what your intentions are. Taurus, out of the 12, loves stability most of all. Not only is Taurus Fixed, it’s Earth too. That’s double “fuck off, don’t mess with me” energy.

It just doesn’t host Uranus well.

Whenever Uranus even begins to open his mouth, Taurus yells, “Shut up!” Whenever Uranus tries to move a muscle, Taurus shouts, “Sit down!” Whenever Uranus looks Taurus’ way, Taurus acts like it's about to slap him in the face.

So then Uranus gets furious! Which makes Taurus more on edge. It’s an endless loop of provocation.

So this whole time from 2018 to 2026, because Uranus is in Taurus, whenever your life tries to change, you feel attacked. You are reactive. You are enraged. You proclaim yourself the victim.

And the reason your life is finally about to get better is because Uranus is moving into Gemini on Sunday.

And unlike Taurus, Gemini is a very, very good host to Uranus.

Uranus farts, Gemini laughs. Uranus makes life a horror movie, Gemini turns it into a parody. Uranus takes away blessings, Gemini thinks it's just hide-and-seek.

So then Uranus feels seen. And welcomed. Even loved. And life becomes an endless loop of play. It can be shocking like a fart in your face. Or terrifying like a slasher film. But always made lighter by Gemini’s response and re-framing.

That’s your life in a couple of days.

No longer an attack, but a game.

You're no longer the victim, but the hero.

Friday - July 11, 2025

It's important to give yourself credit for the growth and self-awareness you have accumulated. It isn't an easy task to tackle ego, ignorance, and most of all, emotional pitfalls.

On this post Full Moon day I encourage you to take time to reflect on all the progress you have made. I know so many of you have overcome emotional wounds and stumbles, and are making great strides in how you deal with feelings that are dark and lonely. Many of you are regular clients of mine, and I see the tremendous work you have done. Work that the majority of the world doesn't have the courage to do.

All of us have even MORE work to do, but it's good to every once in a while to stop, take a rest, and reflect on how far you've come.

And if this post describes YOU, someone who has taken authority over who you are, and have put emotional boundaries in place to make sure it stays that way, I SALUTE YOU. I hope you take some quiet time today to SALUTE YOURSELF.

Worried about seeming too thirsty by texting him first? If he’s the right person for you, he will fall in love with how confident you are.

Worried about asking for a promotion and seeming aggressive? If it’s the right position for you, the people you’re asking will appreciate your initiative.

Worried about manifesting too hard and jinxing your own wish? If it’s the right blessing for you, your efforts will make it arrive faster than scheduled.

There's no wrong thing you can do for the right path.

So if you texted first, or asked for a promotion, or manifested too often... and you got rejected?

It's because it wasn’t the right path.

If you are a good person who never hurt anyone out of malice, then trust me: those bad things happened for you, not to you. They will lead you someplace better.

Because it’s not your destination.

It’s just a bridge to get you there.

That person who felt like your soulmate, then broke your heart? Gave you the wisdom you need to actually recognize the one.

That job that felt like your calling until you were asked to leave it? Gave you the strength you’ll need for when your calling actually calls.

That is why they didn’t last. Bridges end or even fall down, don’t they?

Every spiritual belief — from established ones like Christianity, to modern ones like the Law of Attraction — encourages you to be positive. “Look at the bright side of things!” “Be grateful for what you have!” “Like attracts like, so never be negative!”

But you’re human. You can’t always be happy.

Of course you’re allowed to feel and say negative things, both to yourself and to people you trust.

The trick is to make sure you acknowledge that your negative situation is temporary.

When I’m going through a hard time, and someone asks me if I’m fine, I say, “I will be.”

I don’t lie and say I’m okay. That’s how wounds stay wounds — when you don’t admit they’re there.

But I also don’t declare defeat. Because for as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve won every single challenge life sent me. Haven’t you? Trust your track record.

To become a powerful witch, an effective manifester, or simply, a happy person… that’s the key.

Don’t say, “I’m so tired!” Say, “I’m so tired, so I will rest to feel better.”

Don’t say, “I’m fucking broke!” Say, “I need money, and I know it’s on its way to me.”

Don’t say, “My life sucks!”. Say, “Life hasn’t been easy, but things are about to change.”

It irritates me when astrologers act like every single aspect in the skies will change our lives.

Depending on the degrees in your natal chart, most aspects won't affect you at all. At all.

However, the one this week — Sun conjunct Pluto in Aquarius — truly is life-changing for all of us.

Where is Aquarius in your chart? If it's the Second House, expect this period to bring you more income. For real. Fifth House, more happiness. Lots of it. Tenth House, glory. Maybe even fame.

The catch? A death is needed before rebirth can happen. This is Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, after all.
