Hi friends,
Listen, I had a long weekend. It was a great weekend, filled with tequila shots, winding drives through the Catskills, and lots of snuggle time with some of my best friends, but it was a long weekend. It is now Sunday night after a major ~*Escape from New York moment, and I cannot wrap my head around doing our usual email. Turns out, yep, the lack of socialization during the pandemic really makes being social that much more exhausting!
Instead of our regular readings for the week, I thought I might switch things up a bit. Co-Star sometimes does these “do’s and don’ts” lists for your sign for the week, and while Co-Star is literally trash and their “do’s and don’ts” lists are largely nonsensical on any given week, I thought there might be a fun way to try to make them actually useful for your tarotscope.
If you like this format, go ahead and reply to this message! Maybe I’ll try them again in the future if people enjoy them.

Your sign’s color palette
Loved this little set from @sanctuarywrld. The above very much feels like my aura — find yours in part one or part two.
On repeat this week

Did I listen to “BŭRGŭNDí” by KAMAUU literally 100 times this week? Yep, I sure did. How could I not, with opening lines like, “How could I forget you babe / You were like a missile, couldn't miss you / You would hit me anyway”? “Far Rockaway” was another one I just couldn’t turn off. I miss taking the train until I literally can’t take it anymore.
