Greetings, all, and Happy Pride! Welcome to our first proper card pull for the month of June!
As it's a new month, it's time to switch up decks, and we're bringing my beloved Believe in Your Own Magic oracle deck back out for this month.
I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. The first is that it's generally a very good deck for vibe checks, which a lot of my weekly readings tend to be. The second is because, well, it's Pride! And in a time when a lot of people don't seem to want the queer community to take pride in ourselves, the vibe checks feel painfully important, so... here we are.
Now, as always, before we get to this week's reading, please make sure you are all nice and cozy before you continue reading this post. This is not necessarily a reflection of what card will be drawn. In fact, I'm typing this bit before I've even drawn a card. However, I find that coziness helps put me in a better space to receive whatever message the cards may have for me.
Also, please remember that this is a general reading for the collective. It might resonate with you or it might not, and that's fine. Take what you need from this or don't. It's entirely your choice.
Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"
Our answer this week? Clover, bringing with it a reminder to release your guilt.
Something in your life has been weighing on you, and although I can't say what that thing is because it's going to be unique to you and your situation and this is a reading for the collective, I can say for certain that we all have something like that. It could be regret over actions we didn't take or things we didn't say. And over time, that does build up and weigh heavily upon us. We feel guilty for not doing whatever that thing was or not saying whatever it is, and over time, it can pile up. It can negatively impact every single aspect of our lives to the point where we not only have difficulty functioning, but also have difficulty remembering who we are and what it is we're trying to accomplish in our lives.
And here's the thing: we can't go back and change the things we either did or did not do. We can't go back in time and say something that we wished we had at the time. All we can do is try to move forward and release the guilt that's still clinging to us.
How do you do that is going to look different for everybody, though. Are there things you need to do or say to someone to start to let go? Do that if you need to. Then metaphorically take that guilt, toss it into the fire, and let it go. It isn't serving your higher good, and clinging to it isn't helping you whatsoever.
It's okay to let it go.

Greetings, all, and welcome to our first card pull for the month of May! Hooray!
(And before anyone asks, no, I will not keep up the rhyming for the entirety of this post.)
Welcome one and all to Mermay! Unfortunately, my art skills leave quite a bit to be desired. However, as is tradition now, I'm bringing out my Oracle of the Mermaids deck to read with for the month. It isn't one of the decks in my regular reading rotation. In fact, if you go back through the tags, I only ever pull it out in May. But it feels right as we start to shift into the warmer months, so.... here we go!

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"
Our answer comes in the form of Telepathy, and despite the fact that I'm sure the name calls to mind the image of someone reading someone else's mind, that's not exactly what this card is getting at.
No, this card is indicating something far different: issues with communication.
There may be something that needs to be said this week that someone is potentially struggling with and they're hoping that whoever it needs to be said to is picking up the signs they're trying to put out into the world. The problem is that the other person might either be missing those signs or outright ignoring them, and this can lead to all kinds of problems. Not directly telling the other person what's going on can lead to boundaries being violated or needs not being met.
Unfortunately, people are not mind readers. And while it can absolutely be scary to communicate things like this to someone else, the other person isn't going to know what's going on unless they're told.
It's okay to be afraid to speak, though. We're all a little afraid sometimes, but it would be to your benefit this week to take a chance to speak up. You might surprise yourself at how quickly you can get to the heart of things.
