Favorite Piece of Advice
When it comes to intuition, the trick is believing you were “right” the first time. Intuition is about refining our capturing of the first impulse, which is different for everyone. Note bodily sensations, imagery in your mind’s eye, or visual cues that are consistent with impactful experiences in your life. It’s a great place to find your “signs”!

What is the 2nd house in astrology?
In astrology, the 2nd house tells you how you manage your possessions. For example, how you manage material things will reflect how well you take care of your job, daily routine, or eating habits.
What does the angel number 1111 mean?
When I think about 1111, I think about wishes, and I think about how when people think about the wish concept, oftentimes the wishes they immediately produce can be very fanciful. I think that these fanciful wishes people think they want are often the representation of an experience, rather than the real experience the person is seeking. For example, someone might not actually want a million dollars, but they want what they think a million dollars is going to make them feel like.
So, when I think about 1111 being used as a prompt for wishing, I wonder, what are the stable pillars that you can base your wish on? How is it going to make you feel? How is it going to impact you? How is it going to impact the people that you care about and the world? If we can create a structure for that wish, we can create something that's regenerative or beneficial. Whether that's the energy of the universe and the divine, or the energy of our relationships and people in our lives, when we focus on a structured or a stable way of presenting that desire, it can be more powerful.

How do you cleanse a tarot deck?
There's a couple different ways to do it. I think a quick and easy way is to take some palo santo or some sage and do what's called smudging
, so it’s when you burn the end of the herb so it's kind of smoldering and smoking. You don't want it to be on fire. Then, you would just move in a counterclockwise direction around the object or person that you're trying to cleanse. The idea behind this is that smoke does some "unbinding". If you think about physical cables of restriction, that's how oppressive energy can get in our field and kind of restrict us. We're looking to unwind this, and the smoke does the work to get that off of us. Also, as a side note, a lot of these practices are also antimicrobial. So that's why sage was used traditionally to do cleansing in general, but there's that additional spiritual aspect. And then some people use selenite for tarot. You can get a selenite wand, which is a crystal, and perform the same counterclockwise motions around the deck. Personally, I think it's important to remember that the cards are a tool. You're the reader. The power is located there, within you, not in the medium.
What does the number 5 symbolize?
I think about radical disruption, especially if it pertains to what's called your life path number. People with the life path number five tend to be people who are innovative. They seek to disrupt what they don't like about society, what they don't like about art, or other areas. I think about someone with the life path number five as a disruptor and a changer, but it's not necessarily meant to be a stable number. The number five is meant to push us into the next thing–I think that's a good way to interpret five energy.
