Kindle Notes & Highlights
In Judgment we are reborn into the truest, best version of ourselves. We have our light and our dark, our masculinity and femininity, our spirituality and sexuality at our full disposal along with a vision of how to harness it all for our highest good.
We’ve not only reconciled all that we are, but we find it glorious.
Judgment represents our last task before we rest in The World, and it’s a big one. It speaks to a forgiveness that is so radical in nature and vast in scope that it allows us to see ourselves in absolutely anyone. You can show mercy to people who Justice deems unworthy. You can disarm hatred. You can look at people who commit heinous acts and still see the humanity behind their crimes. This doesn’t mean they’re your bestie, or your boyfriend, but they could be a client. False grace will not work here. Real, genuine, search-the-depths-of-your-soul-to-see-if-you’re-capable-of-this forgiveness is

Buddha said it best, “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.”
We are all healers, and Judgment injects healership into all that we do. Be willing to believe it. Be open to the possibility that you are bigger, more magical, more powerful than you dare imagine, that you are here to do something that is necessary and consequential and that only you can do. To say no to it not only robs your life of depth and meaning, it deprives others of the opportunity to benefit from you being your glorious, dazzling, badass best self.

A new passion, or budding inspiration.
The opportunity could be anything that embodies fire—creativity, passion, sexuality or leadership—and the prospect of it excites us.
The Ace of Wands is the discovery of possibility.
A strong and equal creative partnership can be indicated in the Two of Wands, which is both a lot of fun and increases manifestation potential.
Like any of the Twos, this card can also present us with choice; in the spirit of fire, it encourages fearlessness in our decision.
The Three of Wands allows us to see what something can become.
In the Three of Wands there is a strong possibility we’ve outgrown something.
This is not a time for complacency.
Do not diminish the thing you’ve outgrown, because it was that very thing that allowed you to grow and then outgrow in the first place.
when you blend the stability of this number with the fiery nature of the Wands, you just get a really well-planned party. Representing celebrations of all sorts, you can breathe a sigh of relief when this card shows up in a reading.
The Five of Wands is unfocused, superficial conflict. The arguing, chaos and anger are to no end.
Maybe anger is being used to hide a secondary emotion—hurt or vulnerability. Re-assess the conflict in your life and the value of furthering it.
This card shows up in a reading to let clients reflect on their own goodness and strength.
The power of the Six of Wands resides in acknowledging all the different ways a situation could have been handled—cracking under pressure, succumbing to negativity, losing yourself in drama—and appreciating yourself for choosing a higher road.
It can be lonely at the top, and the Seven of Wands cautions us to resist aggression and paranoia.
A strong sense of self allows us to correctly perceive toxic energies, ill-wishers, jealousy or unhealthy competition.
this card enters quickly and demands quickness on the part of its recipient.
A good omen for people looking for jobs or searching for a new path, this is not a time for indecision or settling.
People consumed with this energy can be horrible company because they are entirely focused on a goal and neglecting other aspects of life.
A lot has been demanded of you to get this far, and you’re tired.
The fulfillment, inspiration and purpose you crave are awaiting you. Grumble all you want, but you were never going to say no to this journey. Accept where you are, rest if you need to and then get your ass up and keep going.
You have taken on too much fire, without enough oxygen to feed it, and you’re literally burnt out. In the Ten of Wands, we are overwhelmed, overburdened and just generally over it.
It is time to simplify. It is time to let go of some things. It may be time to walk away from an unsolvable situation.
no negotiating the fact that when the Ten of Wands appears, you must pare down.

Swords are thoughts, fears, intellect, conflict and the analytical mind.
Like a weapon, the sharpness of our minds can cut through the old, the superfluous and that which no longer serves.
It can also cause harm to ourselves and others if used improperly or with malice.
when the Ace of Swords appears in a reading it offers us a new way to use our minds.
This card almost buzzes with the infinite potential of a sharp mind.
Most often, this card causes issues in the sacral chakra, suppressing sexual and creative expression. Whatever the bind is, we put ourselves there, and only we can get ourselves out of it.
While the Two of Swords often represents a stalemate, it can also indicate a ceasefire. It may be time to retreat from action. Take a break from agonizing over a decision or trying to force an outcome until more information is available.
Searing, immediate, overwhelming pain characterizes this infamous card.
Not only are we feeling extreme heartache, but it is typically at the hands of people we trusted.
Being cheated on, backstabbed, disappointed and undermined could all bring about the acute distress of the Three of Swords. The wreckage of this card is not in the transgression itself, but rather the discovery of it.
But until then, it just fucking sucks, and no one and nothing but time is going to make it better.
lay down our arms.
the Swords are not being used. They are hung up above the person, or in an otherwise inactive state.
The Four of Swords signifies intellectual maturity, a by-product of which is knowing when vulnerability and surrender are more productive than argument and debate.
Find your center. Being steady and fearless even though there may be reasons fear is called for here. Sometimes, the most effective way to disarm a situation is to show someone your heart, and therein lies the wisdom of the Four of Swords.
