Think of a question or concentrate on guidance for the next few days. Choose the right or left card. Pause the video if you need more time to think, then restart to see the card reveal.

THREE OF PENTACLES: No man is an island – you don’t have to do this alone, literally or figuratively. It’s OK to ask for a helping had or to give one where it is needed. It feels like this will make something that seems big actually easy. Many hands make light work as the saying goes. Do what needs done then everyone can go out for a beer after.

TWO OF PENTACLES: Keeping in balance often means constant small adjustments. Don’t let the constant part overwhelm you. It’s just how life goes. Only dead things don’t change at least a little bit. The body has to create new cells in order to grow or heal. The key here is the SMALL part. Small, easy simple adjustments now can save a lot of trouble later. There is an old adage for this card, too. As Benjamin Franklin told us, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

See you at the next sip!

Week Ahead Tarot 23 Feb 25

What the energy is: THE LILIES – folks are tired. It’s the end of winter, not quite spring. The energy environment is craving sincerity and stability. Provide that where you can to make the week better, but also protect your own peace of mind.

What to do about it: THE CHILD – the bear in Christoper Butler’s artwork here is key. Kids tell it like it is, so give your fullest honesty and authenticity as you can, but hold on tight to your teddy bear. The deck author writes that the bear symbolizes protection and empowerment. Being authentic is a place of strength. Protect your inner true self: from others, but also from your own inner critic, and let the real you shine.

Heirophant: The energy still lingers from this card’s message earlier this week. Live your own truth, listen to your higher self and your inner wisdom. Use critical thinking and a healthy dose of intuition before taking outside authority at face value.

Death (reversed) The change that is causing you pain may not be as bad or irreversible as you might think in this moment. But this is the death card just the same. The changes cut deep, and your feelings in this moment are valid regardless of the ultimate outcome. Give them – and the outcome their due each in their own time.

See you at the next sip!

Other Oracles

New exclusive content for members today: “Other Oracles”

Believe it or not, Tarot isn’t the only intuition amplifier in town.

No matter what kind of Oracle or divination technique you use, the real engine underneath it is your human connection to universal energies – your intuition.

We all have that natural intuitive connection, but sometimes spirit speaks in whispers. I’m here to help you turn up the volume and translate those whispers into actual English sentences that you can use.

Email Tarot is my specialty. As a writer by nature, I can give you a very convenient and enriched Tarot reading at a distance through email – the same or better than an in-person reading. We can talk about all of the advantages of that another time.

Today, on the members only blog we are starting a series about other oracles, other tools and techniques for accessing and amplifying intuition.

First up: I Ching. Join Sage Sips members on ko-fi to learn more about this ancient divination technique

Choice and compassion (17 Feb 25)

Sage Sips is Tarot in the time it takes to sip your coffee

Pause the video if you need time to think of your question or time to decide which card feels right for you. Restart to see the reveal.

Ten of Swords: Persistence comes from doing something, not from doing the same thing over and over. Taking a minute – or a month – or several – to collect yourself and process the big things that have happened is not a defeat. Healing IS doing something. Healing IS moving forward. Changing directions IS persisting.

Hierophant (Pope in some decks) NOW is the time for spirituality, not religion. Now is the time to follow your own inner wisdom and your personal connection to the universe or the devine, not what outside influences dictate. Follow your conscience to a path of compassion toward others AND toward yourself.

Thanks so much for reading and watching! Private readings are available, no appointment needed. Members get free one card readings, exclusive content and automatic discounts in the commissions/readings menu. Both support this always-free blog.

THE FOOL: Sometimes a new beginning is a thousand mile journey that starts with a single step. Other times it’s a thousand foot drop that starts with being shoved off the edge of a cliff. Either way, adaptability is a survival skill.

SEVEN OF PENTACLES: Focus on what you have, not what you don’t.

PAY ATTENTION (reversed): something important has flown under your radar. Pay attention now and you can figure out the situation. It is just more urgent now than it was before.

THE GAMBLER: Wayne Gretsky said that we “miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” If you don’t try, you have 0% chance of success. Trying, failing, re-thinking, trying again might be a more valuable experience in the long run than an easy success could ever be.

The Theme Continues

Sage Sips is Tarot in the time it takes to sip your coffee.

Private Readings, virtual coffees and memberships are OPEN and proceeds support this blog.

Think of a question, a topic, or just the next few days to get general guidance. Choose your card. Pause the video if you need time, then restart to see the reveal. Pick a card and get it’s message for you below.

The theme, the “meta-message” that came through repeating cards over the course of multiple readings during the holiday season seems to continue. The calendar may have turned to February, but the energy hasn’t turned in a new direction quite yet.

Dire things are still happening in the US. That is a dark, stressful energy that is like low lying dense dark smoke underneath all of the rest. There is still a sense of chaos continuing as the ‘new normal’ for a while, which explains why the Hanged Man major arcana card is still, ahem, hanging around. The Page, generally speaking, resonates with the bizzarre-feeling, surreal nature of it all.

But if you pull away, focus on a higher level above the blanketing clouds of fear, there are glimmers of a more hopeful individual message:

PAGE OF CUPS: There are deep lessons to be comprehended. From the weird to the sublime, life is trying to tell you something that is ordinarily hidden or very “out of the box” Be patient, be good to yourself. There is a hard lesson to learn here, but give yourself whatever measure of grace that you need to learn what life has to show you and to deal with the emotional fallout of whatever comes to light.

HANGED MAN: Buckle up and settle in. Things are going to hang this way for a while. Expectations and attachments can make things that are outside of your control feel worse.

In The Tao of Pooh Benjamin Hoff writes about busy-ness and constant striving. We are very conditioned to that in the modern world. Not everything has to be constant movement. It is important to be still and incorporate things we’ve already done, things we’ve already learned. It may seem like stagnation to the “Busy Backsons” as Hoffman call it, but life and the universe may still the journey until old lessons are fully set. You can’t walk on a new sidewalk until the cement is dry.
