WEEK OF JULY 13TH, 2026

The Succubus: Sometimes, in our effort to be good and strong, we completely deny our dark side. However, in order to be whole, we must learn to embrace all aspects of ourselves. It takes immense fortitude and compassion to do so, but you have the power to transform those darker internal energies into something that actually serves and benefits you. Make space for the exploration of your inner lion this week; give them permission to roar.

Affirmation: I embrace my whole self with compassion and grace, finding power and wisdom in my shadows.

Four of Wands: There’s a stable rhythm to this week, making it the perfect time to pause and celebrate exactly where you are, who you’re with, and all that you’ve accomplished. Take a moment to truly appreciate the foundation you’ve built. Connect deeply with the people and places that make you feel like you truly belong, and remember, above all, to come home to yourself.

Affirmation: I celebrate my progress and find peace in the home I have built within myself.

Five of Cups: You may feel tempted to pretend that everything is fine right now, repeating the phrase, "just focus on the positive." But so many times, what feels like well-intentioned optimism is actually a trap. Give yourself permission to process disappointment and loss. It’s okay to grieve, even if it’s only over the loss of an idea of what could have been. Sit with the emotion, honour it, but avoid falling into the trap of rumination.

Affirmation: I allow myself to feel and release my grief without the need to remain stuck in that energy.

Queen of Coins: Make intentional space to receive more prosperity and comfort in your life this week. You’ve worked hard, dedicating your time, energy, and effort into reaching where you are and securing what you have. Continue to nurture your abundance, while also making time to step back and enjoy it. Go ahead and treat yourself, knowing that not only have you earned this moment, you deeply deserve it.

Affirmation: I am worthy of abundance, and I allow myself to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Two of Wands: You’ve already had that brilliant initial spark, but now it’s time to sit down and make concrete plans. This ensures that when you finally make your move, you’re expanding in the exact direction you actually want to go. Get clear on the path ahead, don't be afraid to test the waters, and step outside your comfort zone. Remember, fortune favours the bold.

Affirmation: I plan with intention and step boldly into the direction of my dreams.

Two of Coins: Life is a constant, shifting balancing act. You may feel a little out of sorts this week, so take some time to reassess exactly where your time, energy, and resources are being spent. Prioritize what actually matters right now, put some things down if you need to, and give yourself the grace to be flexible. Realize that balance isn’t something you find once and set forever; it’s a dance that requires consistent readjustment.

Affirmation: I am flexible and fluid with the ability to easily adjust to the natural flow of life.

Nine of Cups: Pour your energy into what makes your heart feel full. Seek out those small, quiet moments of satisfaction in your everyday life. Focus on what makes you happy, keeping in mind the that happiness isn’t a destination; it is a state of being that is always available within you. You can be entirely content with who and where you are, while still aiming for more in the future. But for this week, let your sole focus be on contentment.

Affirmation: I find joy in the present moment and rest in the abundance of my life.

Six of Wands: Give yourself permission to be seen and recognized for the effort you've been putting forth, and the successes you've had. Accept compliments, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back, and celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small they might seem. Find something specific about yourself to be proud of, and use that acknowledgment as both motivation and proof that you are capable of keeping this momentum going.

Affirmation: I celebrate my successes and honour the strength and dedication it took to get here.

Three of Swords: Sorrow can hit us at times when we least expect it, even when everything else in life seems to be going well. Try not to get trapped in a frustrating loop of trying to rationalize or explain away your emotions; analyzing them will only keep you stuck in place longer. Instead, gently space for your own healing process, and give yourself the time and tenderness required to recover from any difficult, heavy feelings that rise to the surface.

Affirmation: I hold space for my healing, allowing myself to feel, release, and recover with grace.

Three of Cups: Consider which relationships in your life allow you to feel supported, celebrated, and truly seen, then make those people your main focus this week. Plan a get-together or set aside some intentional time to check in and catch up. If there is someone in your circle with whom you’ve been wanting to collaborate on a creative project, now is the perfect time to initiate those conversations and get the ball rolling.

Affirmation: I surround myself with community that uplifts me, feeds my creativity, and shares my joy.

Four of Cups: Boredom is not the enemy; sometimes we desperately need these quiet moments to disconnect from constant feeling and intense productivity so we can simply exist. If the world feels a bit uninspiring right now, use it as a cosmic timeout to recharge. Choose carefully which incoming opportunities are actually meant for you, and which ones are better off being ignored for now. You don't have to say yes to every cup that is offered.

Affirmation: I protect my energy and peacefully discern what is truly aligned with my soul.

Ten of Wands: Your plate is piled high, and if you aren’t careful, you are going to head straight towards burnout. Take stock of everything you're currently carrying, and know that it is okay to drop the burdens that were never actually yours to bear. Conserve your energy, delegate what you can, and lighten your load so that you have the stamina to cross the finish line successfully.

Affirmation: I release the burdens that do not belong to me and prioritize my peace and well-being.
