For #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth, I wrote about the importance of BIPOC Joy via a little-known indie romance movie, Sueno (2005), that has brown joy, cinnamon roll heroes, women supporting women & magical realism. What’s not to love?

Death Reversed signals a profound internal change. This is a significant psychic shift and personal cleansing. It might feel scary right now—all big changes are. But it’s important that you lean into this period of transition.

Upright or reversed, the Sun is the most positive card in the deck, a sign of good things to come. The Sun R asks you to let the sunshine in. Get in touch with your inner child and get playful. There is plenty of joy all around you.

All week I’ve been hearing old NKOTB songs. On the radio. In the store…this how I know I’m older because I remember when those songs first came out and I obsessively learned all the lyrics so my Barbie band could sing their stuff 🤣
