    The ruler of my birth stares at me from the House of God alongside the psycho-pomp with feathered shoes. She smiles from a throne of pearls, radiating opulence as doves coo lovingly at her feet.

    And yet, even in the House of God where divine light is aplenty, Venus carries a book containing dark mysteries; thrills pertaining to the underworld close at hand. Mercury stands to her side, delighted to aid her in the exploration of these curiosities, and offers more knowledge to her. He is familiar with the lay of all lands after all.

    “Perhaps” and “maybe” are their favorite words. Hypothesizing, speculating, and harvesting data are their favorite past times. Often they dwell in libraries to be transported across the world through the power of perspective. Yearning for elevation and alignment with God, they explore pages with hungry eyes until their next adventure across the worlds.

    This duo has guided me and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

    For me, learning is like breathing.

    Integral to my being.

    Tldr; The answer is yes.

    A poem inspired by the Tarot Card of the Day (12/22/25)

    Take comfort in the hopeful
    Have faith in the pure
    Know that joy does exist
    Despite the pain you've endured

    Your innocence still lives on
    Deep inside of your heart
    Burning bright it waits for you
    Ready to shine whenever you are

    Rainbows are a symbol of hope
    The sky smiles after a storm
    You can accept winter's cold
    And still look forward to Sun's warmth.

    Oracle message

    You don't have to be fixed on endurance right now. 
    You're limit has been pushed recently.
    You can slow down. It's okay.
    In fact, it's that time of year.

    The Sun will enter Aquarius today.
    Fixed winter. 
    The year of 9 - The Hermit

    All this to say...
    Hunker down. Hibernate, 
    Speak with the Hermit (You/God).
    It's not a request, but a must.

    Keep working on yourself, yes!
    Treat it like a sprint, no!
    You have to permission to go slow.
    Endurance is your friend but
    Burnout is your foe.

    Speaking of foes, 
    Someone in your midst is struggling.
    There is a time of reckoning with them;
    On both sides. You both walk
    Different paths. 

    Accept your direction.
    Leave them to their journey,
    hold your gaze of love.
    Sympathize from a distance 
    and harbor your energy.

    Venus is going to enter her shadow soon.
    Look back 8 years ago and reflect
    On your life at that time.
    There's a correlation, a repeating theme
    Presenting itself now.
    Again, acknowledgment and
    processing requires energy too.

    And you, my friend need it.
    For you... have a vision to develop
    You are bringing something to life
    You are carrying a seed of 
    magnificent change.

    And in it's dark sleep, 
    your creation needs love.
    Water. Warmth. Stillness.
    This stillness (if you allow it)
    will usher in a clear sight
    of every one 
    and every thing
    in your radius.

    So, ask:

    What am I birthing now?
    Who am I?
    How do I see the world? 
    What do I want to see in the world?

    Then cultivate that change,
    starting with your life first.
    Be the change. The advocate.
    The voice. The call.
    It starts with you
    And reflects in your world.
    And you're making sense of this now.

    The time to sow this seed will be
    the 27th of January,
    the New Moon of Aquarius.
    Give yourself the gift of awareness
    to cultivate inspired action.

    Remember to be patient with yourself.
    You're not going to know everything,
    Or be "perfect" when starting something new.
    You're vulnerable. Let God take care of you.
    Pray to your angels as your 
    cartilage hardens into bone.

    Hold on tightly to gratitude
    and take note of the experience.
    You have the power to shift your narrative
    and to leave behind the 
    previous ones you have outgrown.

    I'm proud of you. So much so.
    Your fight, your resilience.
    Rest... rest as much as you can
    So your fatigue will cease.
    And remember, please...
    to embrace love at every opportunity.


    Full of the stuff^ for you,
