Welcome to the Greenhouse 🌱 where we plant seeds for the week ahead with a tarot reading, a digital altar, and more! Consider this your digital quiet place to exhale, read, and nourish your busy lil brain to ground you for the upcoming week. Maybe we’ll bask in the sun a little, too (wearing SPF, of course!) So if you haven’t already, please consider upgrading your subscription!

This week’s seed 🌱: Stuckness is a gift

The compost 🪱: The Eight of Wands

We’ve got another eight card this week! How fitting to kick off an eight year (2024 → 2 + 2 + 0 + 4 = 8) Last week the Eight of Pentacles asked us to be present. This week, the Eight of Swords asks us to take responsibility for our choices.

Stuckness gives us a deep knowing of what is not for us, what does not feel good, what does not feel aligned. Stuckness has a different texture than, say, feeling blocked. When we feel a block, we don’t know what’s wrong, we just know we can’t continue forward. But stuckness can feel more intimidating, because we know exactly why we’re stuck—we just can’t seem to move beyond it.
