Dear Readers,
As we step into a new month, I find myself drawn to the cards once again, seeking guidance, clarity, and a deeper understanding of the path ahead. Today, I felt compelled to share with you the wisdom revealed through my tarot reading, a blend of past lessons, present realities, and future possibilities. This is a reflection on the messages from both my right and left hand drawings, offering insight into the conscious and subconscious realms of my being.
In the Past, the card of The Moon emerged, reminding me of the importance of understanding the shadowy parts of myself. The Moon whispers, “Knowing my unconscious biases helps me differentiate between intuition and illusion.” It’s a powerful lesson in self-awareness, urging me to recognize the difference between what my heart knows and what my mind might mistakenly perceive. This card invites us all to explore our inner depths, to seek out the truths that lie beneath the surface, and to discern the true light of our intuition from the illusions that may cloud our judgment.
In the Present, the Two of Cups appears, a symbol of connection and partnership. The message it carries is clear: “I am ready to see others as they are, not as who I want them to be.” This is a call to embrace authenticity in our relationships, to honor the truth of others without projecting our desires or expectations onto them. It encourages me, and all of us, to engage with those around us from a place of acceptance and mutual respect, fostering deeper, more meaningful connections.
Looking to the Future, the Four of Pentacles offers reassurance: “I have enough, I am stable. I am safe.” This card speaks to the security and stability that comes from recognizing and appreciating the abundance in our lives. It is a reminder to trust in the foundation we have built, to hold onto what is truly valuable, and to find comfort in the knowledge that we are supported and secure.
To gain a deeper understanding of my subconscious inner voice, I turned to the left hand, revealing another layer of wisdom.
In the Past, the Three of Pentacles emerges, highlighting the value of collaboration and teamwork. “I see the gifts that others bring me, and I honor them,” this card gently reminds us. It’s a celebration of the diverse talents and contributions of those around us, urging us to recognize the strength that comes from working together. This card calls for humility and appreciation, acknowledging that we are never alone in our journey.
In the Present, the Ace of Swords (Reversed) challenges me to seek clarity and truth: “Clarity and truth guide my decisions.” This card, though reversed, still carries a powerful message about the importance of mental clarity and the pursuit of truth. It reminds me to cut through confusion and to seek the honest answers that lie within, even when the path to clarity seems obscured. It’s an invitation to trust in my inner voice and to let truth be the guiding force in my decisions.
As I look to the Future, the Six of Pentacles brings forth a message of balance and generosity: “I give with generosity and receive with gratitude.” This card speaks to the flow of giving and receiving, encouraging us to share our resources, time, and love with others. It also reminds us to be open to receiving, to understand that generosity is a two-way street. This card is a beautiful reminder that by nurturing the spirit of giving, we create a cycle of abundance that benefits everyone involved.
As I reflect on these cards, I am reminded of the interconnectedness of our conscious and subconscious minds. The insights drawn from both readings offer a holistic view of my journey, one that acknowledges the importance of understanding both the surface and the depths of my being. I hope that these reflections resonate with you as well, offering guidance and inspiration for your own path.
Until next time, may the wisdom of the cards continue to guide us all.
With light and clarity, Jenny Toussaint
Dear Readers,
As we find ourselves in the midst of the day, I took a moment to consult the tarot, seeking guidance and clarity through the cards. Today’s mid-day reading has offered a tapestry of insights, reflecting on our emotional journeys, the nature of conflicts, and the beauty that surrounds us. I’m excited to share these revelations with you and explore how they might resonate in your own lives.
The Ace of Cups in the past position speaks to a time of emotional openness and readiness. The card’s message, “I am ready to experience all the emotions that life presents me with,” highlights a period when embracing the full range of feelings has been essential. This card suggests that I’ve been open to experiencing joy, love, and even pain, acknowledging that each emotion is a vital part of the human experience. It’s a reminder to continue welcoming and honoring my emotional journey with an open heart, understanding that each feeling enriches my life.
In the present, the Five of Wands emerges, bringing with it a message about conflicts and disagreements. The card’s insight, “Disagreements can give me the space to discuss solutions,” encourages viewing conflicts not as obstacles but as opportunities for growth and dialogue. This card invites me to approach disagreements with an open mind, recognizing that through constructive discussions, we can find resolution and understanding. It’s a call to embrace the challenges that arise, using them as a platform for positive change and collaboration.
Looking to the future, the Knight of Cups appears, carrying a message of beauty and inspiration: “Beauty, art, and wonder are everywhere.” This card suggests that as I move forward, I will encounter and be inspired by the beauty and creativity that exists in the world. The Knight of Cups encourages a journey filled with appreciation for the artistic and wondrous aspects of life, reminding me to remain open to the magic that surrounds us. It’s a promise that beauty will continue to enrich my path and offer inspiration as I navigate the future.
Today’s reading has offered a rich perspective on embracing emotions, navigating conflicts, and finding beauty in our lives. As we move through our day, let’s remember to welcome our feelings, approach disagreements with a constructive attitude, and remain open to the wonders that life has to offer. May these insights bring clarity and inspiration to your journey.
With warmth and inspiration,

Dear Readers,
As the day comes to a close, I find solace in my nightly tarot practice, a moment of reflection that brings clarity and peace before I rest. Tonight, the card that revealed itself is Strength, a card that holds deep and powerful meaning, especially as we transition into the quiet of the night. I’d like to share with you the insights this card has brought to me and how it might resonate in your life as well.
The message that Strength offers is profound: “My compassion to myself sets the foundation for my compassion to others.” This card is a gentle reminder that true strength lies not in physical power or dominance, but in the ability to be kind and gentle with ourselves. It speaks to the inner resilience that comes from self-compassion, the understanding that we must first nurture and care for our own needs in order to truly extend compassion to those around us.
In our day-to-day lives, it’s easy to forget the importance of being kind to ourselves. We often push through challenges, set high expectations, and sometimes, are our own harshest critics. The Strength card encourages us to pause, to recognize the value of self-care, and to treat ourselves with the same kindness and understanding that we offer to others. It’s a reminder that by building a strong foundation of self-love, we create the capacity to be there for others in a more genuine and effective way.
As I reflect on this message, I’m reminded that true strength is quiet, steady, and unwavering. It’s the courage to be vulnerable, to acknowledge our limitations, and to give ourselves the grace to grow at our own pace. In doing so, we become not only stronger within ourselves, but also a source of strength and support for those around us.
Tonight’s card, Strength, invites us all to cultivate compassion—starting with ourselves. As we end the day, let’s remember to be gentle with our hearts, to honor our journey, and to recognize that by caring for ourselves, we build a foundation of strength that radiates outwards, touching the lives of others.
May you find peace and strength in your own journey, and may your compassion, both to yourself and to others, continue to grow.
With strength and compassion,
Jenny Toussaint
