Here to bring academics a daily dose of inspiration and reflection through tarot. I am a professor of sociology and use tarot in my daily personal and work life.
This #9ofPentacles is the "treat yourself" or the "stop and smell your roses" card and I love it! Enjoy what your hard work has produced. It's important to acknowledge your gains sometimes. I am proud that my academic job provides for my (and my cats') needs.

Claim the authoritative, powerful, protective, and wise energy of #TheEmporer this semester. It's part of my plan as an introverted, insecure professor to inhabit some of this energy in 2026. It's a good card to pull before my first class tomorrow! #tarot

#8ofCups. Another "leaving" card like yesterday's, with the figure's back turned to us again. Do you feel disappointed at work? Are you searching for more meaning? Academia is a grind, be sure you are soul searching and reflecting often. Be certain you are at the right institution for you. #tarot

#6ofSwords brings transition energy. Are you transitioning to a new role, new project, new semester? Favorite students graduating? Ride might be a little bumpy, you may have some sadness, but easier times are ahead, and you're not alone. #tarot

#6ofPentacles as admired by Kitty today. This is the card of generosity. Remember that sometimes you are the giver, sometimes the receiver. Be sensitive and generous to the needs of students and junior faculty. Sometimes this can just mean giving some of your time or giving advice. #tarot

Today is #10ofWands. When I draw this, I feel the heaviness and the burden of constant responsibilities. Academic work often feels endless. In 2026, what wands from this bundle can you put down? I'm going to to stop checking email so often, part of an overall goal to curb my people-pleasing. #tarot

Take a breath.
Not a deep one.
Just a real one.
Let your shoulders soften.
Let your jaw unclench.
There’s nothing to fix right now.
As you breathe out, imagine the residue of this year loosening...
the tension you carried,
the thoughts you rehearsed too many times,
Not a deep one.
Just a real one.
Let your shoulders soften.
Let your jaw unclench.
There’s nothing to fix right now.
As you breathe out, imagine the residue of this year loosening...
the tension you carried,
the thoughts you rehearsed too many times,

Patience, patience, and more patience. That's #7ofPentacles energy. Honor the pauses that happen organically in your projects. Take time to strategize and reflect on progress. #tarot

Today's message is from #WildWoodTarot. #TheBlastedOak shows a wild fall-similar to #TheTower. This energy represents a significant paradigm shift. I just finished reading "Just a Thought" by Dr. Amy Johnson- learned that my anxiety and imposter syndrome are not the real me. Give it a read! #tarot

I woke up sick (as typically happens at the end of each semester) felt drawn to the #WildWoodTarot deck, & drew #7ofStones. What a gorgeous healing card. Make👏time👏for👏healing👏. Rest & recovery aren't respected enough in academia. I need to practice BOTH during & after the semester. #tarot

#TheEmperor has planning and ruling energy. Be strategic if you want to reach your goals. Do you have a 5-year plan? My cats wants to know. #tarot

The #9ofPentacles has this nice, celebratory energy. Bask in this energy a little; enjoy what you've accomplished. Do you celebrate each publication or the end of a semester? If not, you should! #tarot

A little out of focus, but #5ofPentacles indicates poverty of some kind. Career-wise, ask for help if you need it! If you are junior faculty, look for a mentor. If you're senior faculty, offer your mentorship. Let's transform academia by paying it forward; not leaving anyone out in the cold. #tarot

The #WheelofFortune card reminds us that life is always in motion. Things are good? Cherish the moments. Things are bad? This will pass. Try to "go with the flow." #tarot

The #QueenofSwords #tarot card emits an energy combining intellect, wisdom, & perceptiveness. Decision-making should be based on facts, not emotion. At the end of the semester, with students clamoring for better grades & makeup work, I try and keep my emotions (exasperation!) out of it.

#3ofWands has a clear connection with #2ofWands. You made a decision and now move forward- the upcoming obstacles and opportunities are more clear. I've been working on a new research path that is a big departure from what I've been doing the past 6 years. Exciting/scary (excary!). #tarot

Sometimes you need to leave-that's the message from #6OfSwords. I had tenure & a mortgage, friends & relatives in the area, a partner w/ a good job, but I had to get out of a department that was bullying & belittling me. Making the decision to leave was difficult but I'm glad I did it. #tarot
