Boundaries are a way to ask for love & care from others, & a way to show others you love & respect them.  Boundaries are not gonna hurt anyone, & they’ll reveal the people who are in your life to exploit & coast on your efforts rather than cultivate their own shit.  BUT loved ones who want you to live your best life are gonna be so excited to show your boundaries some love!  It’s important for you to know how you’re using your energy right now cuz you need to keep your most precious & powerful magic for yourself to transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly.   All this change has the potential to feel destabilizing, & that’s why the Femmeiverse is giving this advance notice.  Don’t ignore her signs!

Grief changes you into someone you didn’t know you could be.  It transforms your relationship to your body, your community, your family, & your soul work (which can also be your day job, but not always).  When you encounter the hurt, break it open / cry it open / sing it open / pray it open / trust-some-kind-of-process it open.  Your grief will give way to joy, all you gotta do is trust the way it rearranges your life.  Joy isn’t as elusive as you might believe, it’s made up of ingredients like peace of mind, respect for yourself & others, & trusting what you feel.  Don’t be afraid when you receive clarity about how to prioritize your health & happiness in your relationships, this is the overhaul they've needed.  Kiss your grief  with  gratitude & honor the power it has to shape & refine you.

You’ve been avoiding yourself, & now it’s time to sit still & come clean.   Nobody is trying to tie you down, the Femmeiverse is just trying to get your attention so she can give you what you've been asking for!  Face the hurts you've experienced in the realm of love. Spend time with your own healing power without giving it away. Resist the urge to lash out at anything / anyone that approaches you, even if your fight or flight response gets triggered.  Witness the too vulnerable, fucked up, & unloveable within yourself so that it can stop working overtime to get your attention.  Be patient with yourself, & when it feels like too much, breathe, cry, go outside, eat something, share what’s coming up for you with someone you trust.  Whatever you do, be present.  These fragments of memory, of you & your life, will help you understand what has created you.  Take this opportunity to reconcile your beginnings & make yourself whole again.

Your heart has survive all kinds of fucked up shit, & here you are, open & soft as can be.  A beautiful fucking miracle.  You’re doing such amazing work with yourself, & now it’s time to allow others to help you heal the wounds you can't suture yourself.  This requires you to share all the shit that hurts & bubbles up inside of you.  Tell them how you survived by protecting those tender to the touch spots, & then together you gotta scrape those sites clean because they're wounds that have developed funk & gunk.  It’s gonna hurt (again), & it might even confuse you for a moment, causing you to think this person is hurting you in the same way your wounds were created, but that’s not the case, deer one.  I promise. You are loved & you are safe. This is your  opportunity to finally close up this chapter of your life!  Let the fight go, it's time to rest. The Femmeiverse sent this brave heart your way to help you heal, trust them.

Last week the CODE / Taurus New Moon combo was about pushing through to create a new life that centers your whole self, & this week you’re gonna learn what your whole self is made up of with the APPRENTICE of BONES.  This card & the Femmeiverse are urging you to take inventory of your bones.  Revisit your conscious & subconscious belief systems & examine each of these one by one so you can mend any that are broken, grow those that are missing, & reset others that weren’t taken care of when a trauma initially occurred.  If left unaddressed, these easily become barriers to your healing.  You’re so brave to do this, tender heart. Yes it sucks, but you’ll understand & have so much more compassion for yourself once you’re finished.  It hurts like hell to find out you’ve been missing essential pieces of yourself for so long & it’ll hurt, too, when you have to re break your own bones so that they can finally heal.  You are not alone in this, though, k?  The skull on the upper right corner of the card symbolizes that your guides & ancestors are always with you, ready to help when you ask.  They can help you find the references, information, & support you need to believe in your own power to heal yourself.  We all have this power, & you’ll find it in this deep digging.

TEN of BOTTLES is a sign to behold your chosen community of loved ones, the people, places, creatures, & plants that nourish & claim you.  You will need to drop your anchor for a little while, so seek out a safe place to do so with deep, still waters that reflect back to you how beautiful & necessary your vulnerability is.  Surround yourself with precious hearts to encourage you as you excavate bones that hold magic in their marrow, moonlit memories of how easy you are to love.  Remembering yourself  will feel like heartbreak, & it is, & you’re gonna sob & maybe even feel like dying.  You might also have flashes of the times fucked up shit has happened & you internalized ridiculous messages that broke your spirit.  When you encounter these, know that you have already survived the things that haunt you, & you must now witness them one last time, re break those busted bones, & finally set them correctly.  

​TWO of KEYS fulfills the promise that you will know your worth, your power, your value.  It’s totally ok to ask for reassurance from the ones you trust, but know that there will be times when you have to make a choice based solely on your own experiences & visions.  One of my favorite ways to do this is by connecting with & asking my future ancestral self what I should do in any given situation where I need guidance.  You are the secret ingredient for making shit work in your life.  You are totally enough.  As you go through your bone inventory this week, remove any & all bones that are not yours.  It doesn’t matter how essential they’ve been for you, they are not yours, they are not completely compatible with your life, & they will not be able to take you into the future you want. 

​Last week we met just as you were pulling yourself through the portals of death & rebirth, & this week ACCOUNTABILITY wants to breathe life into your new cycle.  Past experiences that were painful & had no resolution, or where you felt like your power was compromised, lost, stolen, & / or manipulated will be dragged into the light.  These revelations are here to show you how you’re connecting to your power, & to understand this, you need to witness again where & when you began to disconnect.  ACCOUNTABILITY tells the story of how you tried to right a wrong, how you fought to figure out a solution, employing whomever & whatever you could to try & document your injustice.  But in the end it didn’t matter, & you ended up paying a pound of flesh on your own.  This week marks the return of that payment, of hope, of faith in divine timing knowing exactly what you need exactly when you need it.  However long you’ve been waiting to put yourself back together, there will be discomfort, it will require patience, & once things are in motion (which they are), you can’t stop it.  You are known & loved by the Femmeiverse, & she would never cause harm.  Cry.  Scream.  Roar.  This is your power coming back to life in places you thought would remain forever barren.

The present-day you is the future ancestor of you yesterday, you as a teenager, you as a young child, you as a baby.  & present-day you has a future ancestral self that resides in tomorrow, in next week, next year, in a decade from now.  All of these parts of you exist at the same time, & you can access them all.  When you feel stuck or scared, you can ask your future ancestral self, “What do I need to know?  What do I need to understand?  What should I do next?” & you will get an answer.  Your future ancestral self is connected to healing your recipes from last week, & when you opened up a healing portal, you availed yourself to a multitude of options.  The ACE of KEYS is evidence of that portal & of your infinite possibilities.  There is a map coming your way.  It is incomplete, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless.  Your healing recipes are taking you to a place you haven’t been in a long time, but it is a place your ancestral self remembers.  It is a place your bones remember.  This study of self throughout time is essential for understanding your spiritual, emotional, & physiological anatomy.  Take your time.  There is no need to rush this process.  As you travel back in time & recognize the ways your future ancestral self is what protected you, guided you, & brought people into your life that could care for you, you will trust the treasure trove that is your heart, your guts, your love. 

​Every time you choose to burn everything to the ground & eat the ash, it serves a purpose.  Every lick of flame & tongue is resurrection. The sacred wheel of death & rebirth demands your devotion to self-expansion, to be so bloated with knowledge & experience that your spirit finally surrenders.  Death can be getting pushed out of community during your Saturn return, or witnessing the familiar traits of trauma play out in your child’s life, or sobbing your heart out after a delicious orgasm. Rebirth can be learning how to take care of yourself when before you might’ve abandoned your own heart.  It can be naming all the secrets that haunt your family so your child has a map to navigate the rough terrain of your lineage. & it can be the moment you finally feel safe & at home in your body. Each of those deaths also brought life. No matter where you’re at in this cycle, remember to break open. How else is your indomitable spirit gonna find a way through?​

​It’s time to heal a recipe you were given. Perhaps you received Love that wasn’t made with sweetness, or you were given ingredients infested with doubt & denial. Adjustments can always be made to what you inherited in order to satisfy a craving.  The missing component can be an outing with friends who sprinkle you with I believe in you, or maybe it’s wearing soft things for days on end, drinking gallons of motherwort tea, & processing shit while watching episodes of Buffy.  Cook up some dishes your inner child would’ve loved, then travel back in time & feed yourself. While you’re at it, harness the power of the THREE OF KEYS & open a portal that allows this healing to flow through the roots of your lineage.  From this point forward you can always revisit these new recipes instead of the ones received. Thank your ancestors for giving what they could, & share it with them.​
