Plagued with restlessness or stagnation? The cards indicate the urge to pursue new ideas to breath new life into our world. Maid Marian by @cirrusparfum.bsky.social is a plea to get out and participate. It doesn't need go be big.

The Empress is the provider and this knight, the most dependable. What room does this leave for personal growth and ambition? Otis & Me by Jazmin Saraï is that reliable cuppa, ready to face the day with compassion.

Do you find yourself ready to make decisions? Ruthless efficiency is productive, but make sure your decisions do not lean on spite lest you nail your own foot to the ground. Grasslands by @paraphraseperfume.bsky.social is soft enough to choose kindness over spite.

The tyrant is stubborn and loud. And the urge is to be stubborn and petulant in return. Ignore the bluster, the words of a tyrant are hollow. Give yourself permission to seek whimsy and joy. Multiball by @pearfatparfum.bsky.social is my levity.

These cards speak of indecision, confusion, and too many options. Focus your eye on what you want, and make small steps in that direction until the indecisive fog clears. 2030 Park Ave. by @pearfatparfum.bsky.social is a clearing rain with sweet direction.

We do not know what upheaval looms beyond the horizon, but when it comes, judgment will be weighed on our own scale of truth. Deixis by Fzotic is the introspection to correctly weigh my own deeds.

You have made all necessary preparations and you are eager to go, so what is holding you back? La Serpentine by LVNEA is a gorgeous floral fruity patchouli, bold enough to encourage taking that first step.

Your emotional labors have culminated and you are ready for the dance. Do not let misconception be mistaken for mystery - due diligence. Lost Alice by Masque Milano is the trail to follow for unraveling that mystery.

We contain multitudes. Ambition and drive, but also pain. The receipts of a life lived. Ribbon Dance by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is the heavy made light, the call to dance even when we feel weighted, that lifts our burdens with movement.

Time calls for introspection and a meaningful relationship with our self. It helps me to care for myself separately as soul and body. Otis & Me by Jazmin Saraï, cardamom and coffee, perfect for checking in and soothing.

These two cards represent an imbalance. A readiness and apprehension. The body is willing but the will to follow is aching. Green Spell by Eris is action that multiplies, growth on growth until will matches ambition.

Our plans and endeavors are falling apart because we can't see them holistically. We must take time to thoughtfully plan, rather than flying on a whim. Soft Focus by Fzotic is an ask to myself to dissect every note as it evolves.

Nithing indicates that we are unable to take more than we are due, but the Page represents the ability to find fulfillment through empathy with those we hold close. Cloud Cardamom by Scent Trunk is a treasure I would not have found without my fragrance friends.

When we find ourselves listless and wandering, find the little joys and celebrate them. Suspended Water Lily by @sydbotanica.bsky.social is a pond fairy celebration, important now and in memory.

Some things we must do for ourselves even though scary. New ground must be broken in order to tend to the self. Eclipsed by d.grayi is a protection spell against the scary things.

since Bluesky is chock full of Newsom-stan-bots insisting that "Dems should compromise on trans issues", I will re-up my November essay about why this is not only immoral & unempirical, but BAD POLITICS. Dems WILL LOSE if they do this, here's why (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/should-democ...

Curiosity will certainly lead us deeper into rabbit holes than our companions wish to follow. Find community in the Burrow, others who share *niche* interests. Lost Alice by Masque Milano is the honey that makes the fragrance nerds flock.

Take stock of accomplishments you've made on the path to *now*. What requires tending and what requires moving on? Grasslands by @paraphraseperfume.bsky.social is the warm field flourishing by our touch.

The material world is rife with setbacks lately. The cards suggest wrapping things up (as best you can) to clear ground for a new journey. Gilded by @paraphraseperfume.bsky.social is a golden resinous aura that sheds light to my path.

Do you find yourself in a relationship where conflict is the goal? Seek the companionship of those with whom you toil for guidance thru the mire. Fischersund's Faux Flora No.3 is the right amount of detachment to guide us thru.

Has the thin line we tread disappeared? This II of Wands could indicate a surge forward, but instead pause for a moment to find your bearing, and proceed on track. Morel Map by Clue Perfumery is the earthy green inhale, a guide thru the forest.

There is an imbalance between personal and professional. The cards indicate that may lean toward professional, but regardless, our loved ones will help us balance. Grasslands by @paraphraseperfume.bsky.social is a reminder of the comfort of home.

A fact you should never let leave your mind.
www.discourseblog.com/p/the-enragi...
According to Brown University's Cost of War Project, "The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined."

Trust yourself to feel things as they are. This may mean admitting hard truths to yourself. Take action to protect yourself from the triggers of negative feelings. Deixis by Fzotic is emotional armor. (And permanently joining the line this fall!)
