Welcome to April’s Intuitive Forecast!
It feels so refreshing to turn a new page. Here in the northern hemisphere we’re entering into wholehearted spring - in Durham, the flowers have been let loose from their buds (along with lots of pollen). When I sat down to record this reading, I was wondering if we’d see a similar sense of contrast in the cards, and thankfully I was right.
This month is all about the suit of pentacles. We’re talking groundedness, solidity, ritual, and routine. Flowering, fruiting, tending, and cultivating. For me, it’s a resounding “Yes!” after a rewarding yet grueling month of emotional bravery and trial-and-error.
The terrain of our everyday life is yielding fruitful opportunities for growth! Growth that’s continuing from our mindful work in our immediate surroundings. Let’s ease into it and enjoy.
Lastly, in true pentacles fashion, some more prosaic announcements:
In a true dingus moment, I just realized that I’d somehow disabled comments in my newsletter settings. Well, no longer! Now you dear readers can add your two cents to the forecast below. I look forward to joining you in discussion around this robust reading and future posts!
I bopped back onto the website and added a healthy handful of new tarot spreads! Hop on over and enjoy <3
Durham folks, stay tuned for some upcoming Tarot Classes! I’m so excited to bring these back and connect with some of you IRL.

Intuitive Impression
Kneeling in a verdant garden and picking up crinkly round bulbs with dirt-covered hands. Nestling them into freshly-tilled soil so rich it’s almost black.
A New Alliance
Working from the Stances of The King of Swords + Queen of Pentacles
Last month we practiced emulating the approach of the King of Swords, using directness, honesty, self-regard, and advocacy to shape our world. This month those traits are now more comfortable and we’re invited to join them with the pragmatic sensuality of the Queen of Pentacles. How can we make something real on the path we cleared last month? How can we combine our mental sharpness with newfound practices of diligence and care?
TAROT SPREAD
Rich and Full Life with the Queen of Pentacles
There’s mystery in the everyday this month and this spread is designed to uncover what’s emerging as we choose what we want to grow. Lay out the spread moving from left to right. You may also want to pluck the Queen of Pentacles from the deck and lay her to the side of your reading as a point of grounding and inspiration.
