bookmark_borderTarot Card Pulls – August 20th to 27th 2026

These cards were pulled in between the Solar Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse. I’m going to keep editing this as I receive more downloads:

Card 1: VIII of Swords – Sometimes we stay in situations longer than we should; the seal is clearly smiling even though it is bound and can leave at anytime. It’s more comforting to stay in mental bondage than to see what else is out there.

Card 2: Ace of Wands – Force of the element of fire. New experiences, creative ideas. Some kind of new inspiration that will lead to action, confidence, enthusiasm. Drive. Sexual passion. An exciting opportunity.

Card 3: VIII of Wands – A positive card. There’s momentum in whatever you’re doing. Could also mean that your goals could come to fruition in 8 days, 8 weeks or 8 months.

Card 4: XVIII The Moon – Deep instinctual forces. Self-deception.
Your intuition, feelings, dreams and illusions will be amplified around this time.

Card 5: X of Pentacles – How blessed and lucky are you to have a family that supports you and a place to call home. It may not be the family you grew up with but the family you created or married into. Comfort. Money, wealth, financial security. Success. Security. Stability. Responsibility. Prosperity. Legacy.

Card 6: X The Wheel of Fortune – The Wheel of Fortune is always turning, just like the earth, the sun, the moon and the planets are in constant motion. What will happen next? Stay open to possibilities. This is a good luck card. Karma, fate, destiny, progress, a lucky break.

Card 7: IV of Pentacles – This card comes up for me a lot. I think it’s because it’s related to money and resources. At the moment, I am neutral about it.

Card 8: IX of Pentacles – This card comes up a lot for me as well – a woman in solitary enjoyment of the finer things in life as she surveys her garden. She is reaping the benefit of the wise use of her talents and resources. She is alone and at peace with herself and her surroundings. She is in control of her thinking and of her destiny. The card of self-mastery, self-reliance.

Card 9: 4 of Wands – A well-deserved rest. Contentment. Blessings. Harmony. A happy and secure home.

The overall message that I’m getting from these cards is that my finances, material wealth, and well being are in good order. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Well, she’s walkin’ through the clouds
With a circus mind that’s running ’round
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And her fairy tales
That’s all she ever thinks about
Ridin’ with the wind

When I’m sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
“It’s alright,” she said, “it’s alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything
Anything”

Fly on, little wing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, little wing

bookmark_borderDrawing: I H8 U

A fucking mood. I’ve drawn this before but I figured – it’s going to take the same amount of time for me to look for the drawing when I can just redraw it. So yes, it’s Saturday, April 25, 2026 and I still hate you. Forever. Roxy was the biggest hater and I miss her so damn much…


But the truth is:

8/22/26 – When a person you care about consistently disappoints you, eventually you lose your attraction to them. This time, I really hope it’s for good. Thank you for showing me again your true self – the person who only uses people to get what they want then turns around and insults them. I wish you well in life, I really do. Just get your toxic, lame, ugly energy far away from me.

A person who tricks you into taking them back to extract the sexual energy that makes them feel good then turns around and insults you is an addict and a demon. Protect yourself from these energy vampires.

bookmark_borderRevisiting Chiron in Taurus

Well since the current transit is in Chiron in Taurus, the universe decided to remind me of my fears around material possessions, particularly around money. If you’ve read this old post, then you know I personally have Chiron in Taurus in the 3rd house and so I’m feeling the effects of this transit. It also doesn’t help that money has been a lot tighter lately because war and inflation. Sigh.

While I was writing out a check, I stumbled upon a letter writing out my fears around having a lot of money. I believe I cashed out a Universal Life Insurance policy and an old 401k (of course I had to pay taxes on it) but at the time, I needed that money to pay the credit card debt ($13k) I had accumulated for the crystal shop. And so, here is the letter I wrote. Of course I had to decorate it with Baphomet stickers that ChatGPT generated for me a while ago.

A Public Service Message from Guerilla Girls Conscience of the Art World

bookmark_borderFound: Nothing is Original

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.

Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”

– Jim Jarmusch
