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 chiron in astrology?
In astrology, Chiron is a planet called “the wounded healer” and is a good placement to find the ways that we project our wounds on other people and try to heal them in those people instead of dealing with the internal wound that's present. I would say the emotional root of your trauma is heavily connected to your Chiron placement, and if you're having trouble digging toward what that root may be, Chiron is a really good place to start.
To understand Chiron, consider this analogy: Say you have an open wound on your leg that's cut and bleeding, and you’re looking out at other people who are moving through the same environment as you. If you don't focus on addressing your wound, you're going to snap at people or try to yank people off of the path and say, “Hey, be careful. Hey, don't walk over there. You could hurt yourself,” and meanwhile, they're like, “You're the one bleeding.” But you're so focused on stopping someone from experiencing your pain that you're not addressing your open wound.

What is the 7th house in astrology?
In astrology, the 7th house deals with partnerships. When it comes to the 7th house, some people think about romantic partnerships right off the bat. While it can impact romance, it's more about how we trust external entities that we associate our energy with, so “partnership” in the grand, energetic sense of the term. It will tell you about what kind of values you may seek in a romantic partner, but it also has to do with business partnerships and other partnerships. For example, when you think about running a business, you may partner with other brands or other businesses and want to know what's a good lens to figure out if you’re aligned with these businesses. The 7th house is a really good place to find those values.
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.
