Mail Order Magick

For the week of March 17, 2025

Mind: Five of Cups. So things didn’t go the way you planned. You had a mental map all laid out; you had decided that This Is How It Works. Then it didn’t work out that way. You have to let go of that thing you were obsessing over, look at the good things you’ve got left, and make a new plan. This party isn’t over yet; regroup, indulge in some mental flexibility, and realize that things really will be okay.

Body: The Six of Swords. With a bit of assistance, you’re leaving challenges behind–floating over and away until you reach a distant shore. It may take a bit of work to get there, but you’re not alone in this. The complex challenges you’ve faced in your physical, everyday life aren’t exactly solved yet, but you’re recognizing that you have the resources at your fingertips. Everybody needs a little help now and then.

Spirit: 19-The Sun. Everything is going to be alright. Your spirit is filled with joy, and you find yourself buoyed up by the happiness you find in your practice, in your relationships–in your life. No matter the trials you may have faced, or the ones that may come in the future, you’re in a really good place right now. Take this energy and run with it!

Mind: Two of Pentacles, reversed. Your thoughts are tumbling out of balance. Everything you’ve been juggling, especially those finances that have been weighing on your mind, just seem impossible to hold onto today. You’re dealing with brain fog while things fall down around you. Sometimes things just fall apart.

Body: King of Swords, reversed. Those goals you had for yourself just aren’t working out right now. Did you set a New Year’s resolution to take better care of yourself? Were you planning on exercising, eating well, or even taking part in dry January? Well why are you censoring yourself from doing the things you know will make you feel better? It’s time to take a second and look at your own motivations, and the reasons you keep telling yourself that you’ll start tomorrow.

Spirit: Ace of Swords, reversed. Are you dealing with an apathy toward your spiritual side right now? You’re not alone. The winter can chill even our spiritual aspirations. It makes us want to hibernate and not fool with the things that nourish our souls because we’re just too tired. It’s okay if you’re feeling fallow this season; the blank you’re drawing right now won’t be forever.
