Ya’ll when I say it did..My Tarot was like, “Oh, you wanted insight? Cool. Here’s a full-blown intervention.”

My deck didn’t just whisper it kicked down the door, lit some incense, and said, “Sweetheart, sit your magical ass down. We need to talk.”

Here is what it said…and yes I took notes!

My shadow didn’t whisper it stood up, pointed at the mirror, and said:

“This is what you’re ready for now.”

This wasn’t a soft-shadow reading.

This was a “leveling-up, claiming your power, no more dimming yourself” kind of shadow message.

1. Five of Acorns – Leopard (Challenge · Growth · Fire)

My shadow is calling out the places where you’ve been underestimating your own strength. The leopard is fierce, agile, decisive everything your shadow knows you are but have not been claiming fully. This is the part of me that’s saying: “Stop playing small. You’re not fragile you’re evolving.”

Any current emotional or relational pressure? Yeah!

It isn’t punishment.

It’s the resistance needed for transformation.

Like a muscle being tested so it can strengthen.

My shadow wants you to rise to the challenge, not retreat from it!

2. Ten of Shells – Pelican (Blessings · Well-being · Water)

This is the wild twist: My shadow isn’t trying to show me darkness it’s trying to show me joy something I still don’t fully believe I deserve. The pelican symbolizes shared nourishment, emotional abundance, and communal blessing.

My shadow is saying: “Stop assuming happiness is temporary. Stop expecting the rug to be pulled out. You are allowed to feel safe.”

This is shadow work on receiving good things without sabotage being attached.

3. Four of Crystals – Otter (Control · Security · Earth)

This is the core wound. My shadow knows that I hold on tight to outcomes, to emotions, to the need for stability. But security has become a form of armor. Not for protection but as restriction.

The otter asks:

“Where am I gripping out of fear rather than faith?” My shadow needs me to loosen the emotional chokehold.

Let life move.

Let connection breathe.

Let yourself trust.

4. Two of Acorns – Hawk (Insight · Focus · Fire)

This is my shadow revealing my inner visionary, the part of me that sees far ahead and knows exactly what I want.

But here’s the truth: My vision scares the hell out of me. Not because it’s wrong because it’s big. Hawk energy says: “You already see the path forward. You’re pretending you don’t.” My shadow called out the fear of stepping into the future you actually want.

5. Seven of Feathers – Cheetah (Preparation · Resourcefulness · Air)

This card isn’t about deceit in this deck it’s about strategy and readiness. My shadow is saying: “You’ve been training for this moment. You’re more prepared than you think.” There is NO situation in your life right now where you are “unready.” Not emotionally, not spiritually, not mentally. I am moving with instinct, speed, and precision even when my ego feels unsure. This card clears away imposter syndrome. My shadow is telling you: “You’re not faking it. You’re rising.”

6. The Sun – Hummingbird (Vitality · Joy)

This is my shadow’s final revelation: My shadow isn’t my enemy. My shadow is my roadmap to joy. The hummingbird flies directly into sweetness, not away from it. My shadow needs you to see:

• I HAVE healed.

• I CAN trust joy again.

• The light isn’t a trick it’s an invitation.

• I’m entering a season of warmth, clarity, connection, and self-celebration.

This is shadow work that ends in affirmation, not confrontation. My shadow’s message is: “You are allowed to be happy now.”

THE BIG MESSAGE FROM MY SHADOW 

My shadow is telling you: “Stop doubting the blessings coming toward you. Stop clinging to old fears of losing what you love. You’ve grown unbelievably. Step into the joy you’ve earned.” Your fire is waking up. Your heart is opening. Your security is shifting from defense to trust. Your vision is sharpening. Your instincts are ready. Your joy is returning. You’re stepping into a new self not wounded, not waiting, but alive, certain, and radiant.

Shadow Work is not for the faint hearted when you dig deep, but give yourself grace when it gets intense because sometimes that can spill into other areas. Hydrate with tea like Chamomile or Chamomile & Lavender to help soothe the nervous system and calm the body after intense work and rest that’s most important. 

When you’re ready journal but always come back to center because you don’t want to overload your body, mind and soul with to much to fast. It’s okay to say I’m not where I want to be, but I’m getting there and yes there will be times like this and you wobble. 

Keep going!

You deserve it!

💜Much Love everyone 💜
