By the Grace of the Universe, Hard Work, and Healing

🌑✨Today wifey and I completed another half marathon together and whewwww 😭 I’m gonna be real… we do NOT recommend training the way we did this time around. Newly married life, work, exhaustion, trying to balance everything, life just life-ing… our training looked very different this season. Then this last week we were under the weather, what a mess 🥲!

But somehow we still crossed that finish line together and earned our medal🏅 By the grace of the universe… and a lotttt of hard work on this hot spring day!

And afterward, we came home ready to recover with a spa shower and then after, of course I had to pull my card of the day. Which then reminded me to really reflect during this Taurus New Moon energy! Healing time 🧚🏽, so I sat with my cards and reflected on what this season of my life is really asking of me.

The cards I pulled:
Two of Wands
The Chariot reversed
Five of Swords reversed
Two of Pentacles
Five of Pentacles reversed

And wow. This reading felt deeply connected to where I actually am right now, so much that I figured to share!

The Two of Wands immediately screamed:
plant your goals, baby. 🌱

It made me think about the dreams I’ve been holding quietly but intentionally. Wanting stability. Wanting home. Manifesting to curate my dream home in Brooklyn with wifey and continue building a life and business together. Continuing to grow Tarot with Dalila intentionally while also creating something long-term and sustainable for us.

Not just surviving New York City.
Not just making it through.
Actually building.

And honestly? That realization felt emotional.

Then The Chariot reversed came through like:
okay but pause for a second 😭

Because yes, I have ambition. Yes, I have vision. But this card really asked me to reevaluate my intentions and reflect on how I’m moving toward these goals. Am I moving from alignment or just pressure? Am I grounded in the process or just trying to prove I can do everything?

The card didn’t feel like “don’t go after it.”
It felt more like:
move with intention.

The Five of Swords reversed hit too because immediately I heard:
focus on yourself and stop comparing.

Especially in a city like New York where everyone seems to be accomplishing something at lightning speed. Buying property. Starting businesses. Traveling. Expanding. Achieving. This card reminded me that comparison will have you disconnected from your own blessings real quick.

My path is my path.
Our timeline is our timeline.

Then came the Two of Pentacles and honestly… that card was reading me DOWN 😭

Assistant principal.
Professor.
Runner.
Tarot reader.
Wife.
Dreamer.
Builder.

This card acknowledged that yes, I am capable of multitasking and there is joy in the many versions of myself. But it also asked the hard question:
is this sustainable?

And that’s what this Taurus New Moon keeps bringing me back to. Sustainability. Balance. Grounding. Building a life that actually feels good to live, not just impressive to survive.

But the Five of Pentacles reversed? Whewwww.

That card felt like spirit saying:
look how far you’ve already come.

Siempre pa’lante.

Keep going.
Keep believing.
Keep rebuilding.
Keep trusting yourself.

Because despite the hardships, despite the moments of burnout, despite the financial stress, despite the fear and uncertainty that sometimes still creeps in… I am no longer only dreaming about survival.

I am dreaming about stability.
About home.
About softness.
About abundance.
About community.
About peace.

And honestly? That feels very Taurus New Moon to me. 🌙

If this New Moon in Taurus has you reflecting on what you’re building, healing through, or slowly growing into, maybe the cards have something waiting for you too. ✨
