Hi friends,
Happy Monday to all, and welcome to our new subscribers! Shouts out to the lovely Delia Cai of Deez Links for including me in her media classifieds last week. I’m so excited to have you here as we prep for our weeks with a word from tarot. Seems like as good a time as any to re-introduce myself and what we do here.
I’m Kristina :-) I’m a writer and intuitive practitioner based in Brooklyn. Let’s get to the part you really want to know: Cancer sun, Leo moon, Virgo rising—in short, sensitive, proud, and thorough. For the better part of a decade, I’ve been studying tarot and astrology and the ways the universe uses them as tools to guide us on our paths. If I’m not bothering you about your birth time, I’m probably bothering you about that time Harry Styles and Stevie Nicks did “Landslide” live at The Troubador in 2017.
My reading ethos is as follows: the cards are a tool to help you through the ebbs and flows of life. They’re not here to tell you when you’re going to die, the profession of your first spouse, or what shoes you should wear on Saturday. Rather, they serve as perfect totems to guide you towards your goals, assisting in manifesting the best version of yourself possible.
If you want more tarot throughout your week, I do live readings on our Instagram and post bits ‘n’ bobs about what’s happening in the universe (and, let’s be honest, a whole lot of moodboarding). I’d love to see you over there as well!
Anyway, I think that should cover it. Thanks again for subscribing, and without further ado, your readings for the week. Love and light to you all.

Your reading for the week…
Aries: Page of Wands Reversed
You’re ready to go this week, but the universe is telling you to be patient. You’ve encountered delays for a reason — the world just isn’t ready for your idea yet, or you’re not quite ready to execute successfully. I know you’re bored and waiting for something to happen, but no point in making something happen just for the sake of it.
Taurus: Judgment Reversed
It’s important to take a hard look at your actions lately, and take note of whether or not you’re aware of the effect they have on your progress or on the progress of others. You may have been especially hard on yourself recently, and that negativity is leeching into your steps forward. Try and reframe your Ls into Ws this week — you have lessons you need to learn from your mistakes.
Gemini: Eight of Cups Reversed
You know full well it’s time to walk away from this emotional situation, but you’re having a hard time letting go. You’re either caught in the drama and excitement of it all, or you’re too afraid to release and accept that things will have to change. This is your sign from the universe that it’s time. You’re divinely protected, you just need to decide to let go.
Cancer: The Devil Reversed
You’ve been in the zone lately Cancer, realizing that all the things that used to hold you back don’t have to hold you back anymore. You’ve been putting in the work and been having major breakthroughs, and that progress is showing in a gradual shift in your mindset. Now, all those things that seemed so hard don’t seem so hard anymore. Reclaim that power, bb.
Leo: The Moon Reversed
You might find yourself in a situation this week where things aren’t as they seemed — maybe learning a coworker wasn’t totally honest, or that a partner hugely miscommunicated. Either way, you could find yourself feeling especially anxious this week. Try to come back to center and right the communication. Don’t bend over backwards for manipulators.
Virgo: Five of Pentacles
Lately, you’ve been stuck in this lack mentality. Things can be so good, but it’s still difficult for you not to look at the bad sides of them and dwell. There is something just nagging at you, telling you that you are alone despite being surrounded by love, telling you that your abundance isn’t enough. What can you do to talk yourself out of that space?
Libra: Strength
Your word for the week is courage, because you sure do have a lot of it. You may be forced to bring together all your powers this week to push through something or trying, or even just to have a productive day. However serious it is, this is a reminder from the universe that you are incredibly strong and divinely protected. You can get through anything.
Scorpio: Two of Cups Reversed
Some Scorpios may be feeling a disconnect with loved ones this week, be it partners or crushes, friends or business partners. Single Scorpios may be feeling especially lonely this week, having faced a tough rejection or coming up dry on a long weekend of swiping the night away. It’s okay — love is coming your way, it always does. Delays are all a part of life.
Sagittarius: Queen of Pentacles
Sags are on their luxurious queen shit this week, making their kingdom a safe and welcoming place for themselves and others. You may find yourself feeling especially generous with your time, energy, and finances, or doling out great advice left and right. Everyone around you is going to thrive because you bring them up with you.
Capricorn: Seven of Swords Reversed
Someone’s got a guilty conscience this week. You may find yourself having said something you wish you could take back or making a commitment you know you can’t fulfill (to yourself or others). You may have even been acting in your own self-interest to the detriment of someone else. Listen Cap, we all make mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up about it too much — make your sincere apologies, meditate on what you learned, and do better next time.
Aquarius: Nine of Swords
I’m sorry to hear you’re going through it lately, Aquarius. Starting off with a classic: You’re not alone, even if you feel like you are. Following up with the best advice that comes with this card: suffering often leads to breakthroughs. You may be feeling afraid or anxious, but continue to reach out to your loved ones. They’ll be the ones to cheer you up to the point where you can learn from this situation later.
Pisces: Two of Pentacles Reversed
That overwhelmed energy from last week is sticking around for at least a bit longer. Unfortunately, it maybe has bled into your work-life, leading you to feel unorganized and out of your depth. Some Pisces may find themselves working late just to get it all done. Who can you ask to help take some things off your plate? How can you organize your day more efficiently to tamp down the chaos?
Meme time, drink up!
Miss Selena, you didn’t have to go and read us like that. Set by @glossy_zodiac here, part one and part two.
Don’t look at me; I’m in my fcking feelings

Have I written 1,000+ words about how I’m thirsty for Bad Bunny and sent it to an entire BuzzFeed distro? Yeah, well, listen to “LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE” and tell me you wouldn’t do the same. Do me one better: watch the live performance from SNL this weekend and tell me it didn’t make you feel some type of way. Okay, that’s all bye everyone!
