Full disclosure. I pulled the Five of Cups, didn’t love it. Knocked on my deck, cleansed it with incense and reshuffled to only pull the Five of Cups AGAIN. So I mean I guess——

I had the opportunity last week to visit the Queens Museum. I went to attend an Arts Educator conference. I haven’t been out to the Queens Museum since I was a child. The museum is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, which is also home to the Unisphere. The Unisphere was part of the World Fair in 1964. The rings around it represent early satellites. I love that you get a great view of it from inside the museum.

I don’t always do a reading for the collective, but when I do it is to call all of you out.

In NYC, it is Spring Break so schools are closed. I know a lot of educators and I hope if you are on break this week that you make the most of it. Take the time and enjoy yourself.

Reading tarot is not so much a fortune-telling device, but it is a guide. I like to have things at least outlined for me. So I can hold my breath as I walk into the unknown.

This week I forgot what my normal spread looks like and I flipped it with the personal week on top and my work at the bottom. I usually concentrate on one thing at a time and shuffle and pull with that intention. I know people who shuffle and then pull six cards all at once. Whatever works for you works for you. Again this is just a guide.

This Libra Full Moon in an attempt to combat how easily it is for me to fall into step with the capitalist system that makes me miserable. I am trying to tilt the scales back by doing things that make me happy. Listening to music at an obnoxious level that I can feel it vibrate inside me. (I think this is sensory seeking?) Reading Tarot Cards. Watching True Crime. Listening to True Crime podcasts.

How will you try to get back into balance?

Let’s start Aries Season off right with some fiery hair. (I actually dyed it last week, but we can pretend.)

I love my hair fiery red. It makes me feel better about myself. I can’t explain it. When I spend a lot of time in the Sun I do get red highlights, so going fiery red is like tricking myself that I have been out in the Sun a lot. I have done this for so long that my youngest brother was so confused at 16 when he realized that I dyed my hair red.

Oh, haiiii Queen of Swords.

Going from 5 of Cups to Queen of Swords. I confronted a lot of things about myself in February and March is all about that Queen of Swords energy. That is quite an upswing.

The Queen of Swords is that bad bitch energy of kicking ass and taking names. She is everything young Christie wanted to be. She is someone that current Christie tries to embodied every day. I am in charge of my life. I am in charge of my experiences.

So my journey to flip my 5 of Cups began about 2 years ago. Receiving this card this month was a great reminder that sometimes I have to remember what I think matters most. Being worried about what someone else thinks is not the way to live. It is super easy to fall back into old habits even if they aren’t healthy.

Today’s Seven of Wands RX is super interesting. I have been nursing a migraine for 3 days. Migraines are also something I have been dealing with since I was 11. Actually, it is something I was diagnosed with at 11 but I have been dealing with for much longer. I classify my migraines based on how much I can work. A “working migraine” and a debilitating migraine. I have had a “working migraine” for the last 3 days and while I have pulled the 9 of Swords a few times I have not listened to Tarot screaming at me to rest.
