the tarot can help you connect with yourself, your community, and your capacity — with compassion, instead of with harshness.
...and you're probably doing better than you think you are.
this world demands perfection while making everyday things as difficult as possible. we live in systems that are designed to make us struggle, that deliberately limit our access to support. and if you're finding it impossible to show yourself any kind of grace, kindness, or patience these days, it can make your daily tasks and revolutionary dreams feel completely out of reach.
i promise that you deserve compassion. and i also promise that you're braver than you realize. sometimes we just need a little support.
note that i said a little easier.
tarot isn't going to magically fix all of your problems, hand you a million dollars, or clean your house for you each week. but working with the tarot gently, intentionally, thoughtfully, can help you build compassion and courage into your days — and help you develop tools for extending kindness, care, and resources to those around you.
sometimes this can look like readings with potent questions or clarifying spreads. but i love to encourage people to use tarot for journaling too, to work with the cards to see ourselves and our futures a little bit differently.
i want you to know how to show yourself, your loved ones, and your broader communities the kindness that y'all deserve. i want you to recognize that compassion is strength, not weakness. i want you to know what courage looks like in your life. and i want you to be able to do this work with the help of the tarot, one week at a time, in a way that sets you up for more long-term softness.
