Empaths Feel the Feels Fully
Happy Summer Solstice!
Mercury and the Sun entered Cancer at the same time that we enjoy the longest day of the year. We are rounding off the month of June with feelings full and rich.
Here’s a shout out to my fellow tender crab hearts with their Sun, Moon, or Venus in this placement.
A decade ago, when I was lamenting the burden of caring so deeply and feeling so much, my friend Gabriel brought me some comfort.
“If we are the Universe experiencing itself,” he said, “then those who can’t help but feel intensely are likely the most vibrant tendrils of that sensation.”
it is bravery to feel our myriad of emotional wisdom, and this next few weeks is about allowing that vulnerability to express.
Many of us choose to brush aside the uncomfortable inner dialogue and focus on the intellect. This often takes us to a place of logic that seeks blame and rationalization rather than curious inquiry as to why you might hurt or desire or lament.
Some empaths find it safer to simply feel other’s feelings, and then their own hearts swell up and burst forth at times like these.
If you’re one of those types, seek out releases this weekend.
Perhaps enjoy a movie that helps you cry (Joy Luck Club is a favorite of mine), a song that helps you feel (This Feeling by Alabama Shakes taps me in), or a journal session about what is happening for your heart today. Whatever starts the release, let it become about your own experience.
As an empathic tarot reader, I have had to learn to differentiate between what is mine and what is my querent’s. That’s why I do a body scan at the start of a reading, and clear myself after.
Scroll down for a video of how to energetically wash your field after an empathic day.
If it’s a big leap for you to feel the feelings, join me for an intuition coaching so we can help you practice to get aligned with your internal quiet places.
It would be my honor to be present with you during a personal tarot reading, where we can inquire into how you can improve your relationship to your own heart and those hearts around you.
Having a friend to listen in on your life path after you hear their own can be powerful when you enjoy a Tarot Together reading.
Better yet, learn to use the cards for self-inquiry with a Tarot Reading Lesson.
I hope this message today helps you delve into the depths of your own universal self experiencing this life more richly this week.
Nurture Your Heart,

Pep Talk to Tackle Goals
As I was cleaning and reorganizing my shed over the last two days, I was thinking of how much we all do from pure internal motivation.
Frankly, it’s exhausting. For some reason, somebody else cheering you on in your endeavors feels so fabulous.
Thusly, I occasionally sent video messages to friends, showing them the mess and the progress. It did help to be witnessed.
Today, I want to offer you some encouraging words to instill a little external motivation around something you feel is a drag.
Choose one project in particular that you just don’t want to do.
Sit with your grumpy vibe about it. Take in a moment of acceptance that you feel this blarg and you’re going to pursue this goal anyway.
Think of someone you admire, or a favorite actor/actress, and read each sentence from their voice.
“I totally get how you feel about making this happen. Ug. It is a challenge, for sure.
But, I know you’re going to do such a great job anyhow. Because You are such a powerhouse of getting stuff done against all odds.
Remember that thing you did last month? And you just went in and did it. So impressive. You are amazing.
Whenever doubt or fear kick in, I want you to remember how you have overcome that countless times before, and this is just another step in the journey of living your best life.
You know what, I bet this won’t be so bad once you get it going. You can break it down into smaller tasks and just chip away at it, and it will be done sooner than you thought. Any tiny thing you can do today, no matter how small, is a little closer to the goal line.
Imagine how great you’re going to feel when it’s done! That weight will be lifted, and that worry won’t hover over you anymore.
Hey, maybe you can plan a nice reward for yourself when it’s complete? What would feel like a worthy prize for such an awesome accomplishment?
I know you’re going to do a really good job on this. It’s going to take you closer to your other goals, and you have already accomplished so many fabulous feats in life. This is just another small detail in a long list of remarkable moments.
Embrace your own greatness and celebrate the wins along the way, however small. I believe in you, and it’s an inspiration to everyone around you to see you step into your power with commitment and focus.
Gosh, you are so impressive. I hope you can own that thought today.
Good luck! You can read this again whenever you need a little boost!“
If internal motivation needs a recharge, sign up for intuition coaching to become more centered in your own inner knowing.
Get more motivation live with a personal tarot reading with me this month.
Find community support when you sign up for a Tarot Together reading or a Tarot Reading Lesson with a friend.
Good luck in all your best endeavors. If this helps, feel free to send me a note with what you got done!
Go get it!

Empower Your Path: Gemini Planetary Transitions | June Horoscope Insights
While we are celebrating our favorite Gemini’s this month, the New Moon just entered in Gemini yesterday while Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter all pass through the twins.
Airy Gemini brings an intellectual and curious mindset. This is a Queen or King of Swords energy. They know what they believe, and they are ready to do the research to learn more. It takes more than an opinion or sway the beliefs of a Gemini, so hold true to your values this month.
The planets transitioning through Gemini all ask us to put our sites on the horizon of our pursuits with smart reflection, dedicated focus, and clever consideration.
Venus in Gemini is a great time to get a fresh perspective on your relationships.
For love, this placement is sapiosexual vibes, where intellectual exchange and real talk will bring mutual growth. Don’t be shy to bring up how you want to evolve with your beloveds (after a meal to make sure your brains are thriving on proteins, of course).
Mercury in Gemini lasts until June 17th, and it adds speed to the conversations we are having. It can also make us more distractable. You can choose to either relish bouncing around your curious whimsy, or get super focused on the mental projects you want to complete quickly.
Jupiter in Gemini is a win for anyone with Gemini in their Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or Venus. This lasts a year, so consider that what you put your energy into is going to grow. Enjoy the benefits of this lucky placement and blossom your favorite projects.
This month is a great time to try out an Intuition Development session and get more centered in your own inner knowing.
If introspection is more fun with a supportive team member, sign up for a personal tarot reading with me this month.
Want to Twin it up proper? You can also share the experience when you do a Tarot Together reading or a Tarot Reading Lesson with a friend.
Whatever your path, I hope you have a lovely month of June!
Enjoy Your Beautiful Mind,

Present Path Tarot
Hilda Tarot, curated by Reese Marren, captures warm spring energy as she tells us how we’re progressing forward into summer.
Note how the first two images present Hilda in the same seated position and placement. This overlaps their messages.
The Three of Swords is something you have already been working toward, an internal identity shift that is stamped into full being with the transformative Death card.
In the first image, she’s healing, and in the second image, she’s reflecting on the past that she’s let go of.
Consider some aspect of yourself that you’re ready to release. Some story you have about who you are that simply does not align with who you have become, or who you want to be going forward.
Acknowledge what behaviors would need to shift to fully embody this new mentality. Accept how it may have served you in the past, but you are ready for a new way of being going forward.
The World Card then sets Hilda off skipping through the meadow with glee. Relish the freedom and enlightenment that this fresh perspective allows in your life.
The 10 of Swords Reversed is a reminder that we will need to keep tabs on the old habits of limiting beliefs creeping their way back into our mind in relation to this evolution.
You have done some great work to improve your mentality. It’s wise to stay vigilant and listen to your inner monologue and old stories to stave off that which once held you back.
Flanked by Swords, this is all about a mind movement happening that is going to release you from old stuck energy and welcomes you to think from a brighter philosophy of what is possible.
Unravel Feelings of Isolation
My friend shared this week that she felt isolated and untethered.
I asked what that felt like, and she said it was like she was on the moon and disconnected from the ship.
It’s not about loneliness, since she deeply enjoyed the experience of shelter-in-place. She felt she could go into depth with her thoughts then in a Zen-like way.
It’s about a certain quality of connection she can find with both herself and those around her.
Being around people or finding partnership is not the most effective cure for loneliness.
I believe it ties deeply to how we relate to ourselves, and the quality of kinship that we share with others.
One of my favorite things about the work I do is that I get to have meaningful exchanges with people about what matters to them the most. We get to explore hope, feelings, love, and possibilities together.
This week, I offer you these questions to consider what steps you can take to feel more in touch with what best serves your own freedom from feelings of isolation that seem so common these days.
Alliance with Yourself:
Were you ever alone without feeling lonely, when you felt like you were a good companion to yourself?
How were you creating that sense? What ways did your internal dialogue behave that felt good to be around? What were you doing regularly?
Currently, what ways could you enhance your alone time with better choices in your activities?
Can your internal dialogue include more compassion today?
Could you get more centered in your own inner knowing with an intuition coaching session?
Interrelating with Depth:
When do you feel it’s easiest to bond with those around you?
How can you initiate an experience that carries more depth of heart with those you want to feel connected to?
What type of activities create real alignment with loved ones?
Is there someone in your community who could use the type of connection that a personal tarot reading offers? Would it help if you sat with them through the reading as support?
Only one more week to enjoy this month’s unique offer of a referral system at a rare discount of 20%.
Share this code with a friend, and ask them to name you in the final question about where they heard about Present Path.
REFERAFRIEND
They will get 20% off of a reading, a lesson, or an intuition session.
Then YOU get the same deal on your next visit with me this year.
The most fun ways to access this offer?
Make quality time with a loved one when you do a Tarot Together reading!
Or, do a Tarot Reading Lesson together for the same cost as one person!
I hope today’s message helps you consider how to dive deeper into opportunities to initiate the kind of bonds you crave with yourself and those around you.
Seek Quality Time,

You Are Enough
I pulled cards to ask what to speak about today, and the shadowy cards of the Moon and 10 of Swords came up.
The overlapping messages of these are about the ways our limiting beliefs and inner turmoil hold us back.
For many of us, the feeling that we are trying our best and it’s just not quite making the mark is incredibly common.
So today, for just a few minutes, let’s sit and be present with what’s real in this moment.
Pause and take a breath.
Scan through the sensations of being alive right now.
Your breath, your heartbeat, your body weight on the chair or your feet on the floor.
Notice how there is nothing more needed than this presence of acceptance right now.
You are worthy simply by being here and listening to your own body and your own thoughts. Sit with that idea as long as you need.
Take a moment to consider how much you do everyday.
How many people you interact with, how many little tasks you accomplish, how much you move and shift and mold everyday.
Even if there’s more to do, take a moment to appreciate that which you are doing daily.
Give yourself awareness and recognition for the progress, rather than the to-do list right now.
You deserve this kind of attentive self care that a personal tarot reading with Jenna also imparts.
Experience an intuition coaching session to become more centered in your own inner knowing of how to move through these myriad of responsibilities efficiently.
Make quality time with a loved one when you do a Tarot Together reading!
Or, do a Tarot Reading Lesson together for the same cost as one person!
I hope this pleasant pause can be repeated another time today, where you give yourself some recognition in place of the judgements.
Relish Satisfaction,

Ignite Your Delight
Life is a lot of responsibility. Even things that sound like fun can feel like a part-time job.
You need to round up stuff and pack the car to go camping, then clean it up afterward.
You need to wade through communications to date and have yummy relationships.
You need to organize life to live it more fully.
These efforts often come with a worthwhile pay off, but they require some slog.
That’s why it’s essential to include frivolity in the mix.
Today, I want you to consider adding a bit of casual fun into your month of May.
For me, I find that dancing just for dancing’s sake fills me up. I can even do it at home with a playlist I didn’t even have to make.
Last night, I skipped watching TV to play my ukelele. I am not good at it, I am not a skilled singer, and I belted some tunes out anyhow.
What lights you up that is lightweight effort?
In tarot, fire and spark is about desire, passion, and movement.
What body movement feels fun?
Something as simple as a walk around the block on your lunch break, perhaps with a fun co-worker or a neighbor.
What excites your soul with creative energy?
Watch your favorite musician perform on YouTube.
Learn about one cool artist online instead of scrolling through the superficial feed.
What inspires you? Go take a quick dip into it for no good reason but your own amusement.
For me, giving a personal tarot reading to someone who is seeking their own self-growth delights me.
Diving into archetypes and sharing this art with others in a Tarot Reading Lesson feeds my soul.
The sparkle that people get when they enhance their ability to listen to their own psychic gift thrills me during Intuition Coaching sessions.
I hope you’ll sign up for one of these opportunities today to further explore what keeps the mundane fascinating.
Enjoy What you Love,

Blessed Beltane Reading
“It’s May, It’s May, the Lovely Month of Mayyyyy!”
I grew up watching the recorded stage production of Camelot, and I always get that song in my head at the transition to Beltane.
This holiday has been celebrated since well before the time of King Arthur’s fantasy 6th century AD era, and it’s very alive and well in community today.
My introduction to pagan parties was a fabulous fun adventure in the desert North of San Diego an age ago.
A fabulous young woman, Nikyta, and her wonderfully free spirited mom had a piece of land where they arranged different experiences with each element.
Air was up the hill to take in the view
Earth was an iron claw foot tub full of mud where naked people could cake themselves completely and dry off by the
Fire around the fire pit before they washed off with the
Water in the outdoor shower
I stayed up all night and watched the moon set as the sun rose at daybreak. It was my first time experiencing a party as a spiritual experience. I was hooked for life.
So, in honor of the upcoming Beltane, I share a free reading with you below.
Enjoy Beltane rituals yourself by mingling pleasure and spirituality.
Beltane in Celtic means ‘lucky fire’. So have a bonfire with friends or light a candle during a ritual to release what you no longer need.
Plant your garden, buy some flowers, or enjoy a walk in nature where you take in the blossoms with full delight. Perhaps even make some art from the nature.
Prepare for Spring with the pleasure of a personal tarot reading from someone who delights in the magick.
Get a Tarot Reading Lesson to learn how to share this gift with others.
Then get into your own body, mind, and spirit with an Intuition Coaching session.
Blessed Beltane,

As we exit Mercury Retrograde, we are releasing some old and bringing in a fresh approach to that which we cannot control or change.
The Hanged Man asks us to surrender to our higher spirit. Focus on letting go and accepting things as they are.
Next to the 9 of Water, you get to use this acceptance to dive into gratitude and joy…
Let them be and go allow yourself to be better. Meditate on what enriches your own heart.
Then have fun doing what fills your cup on your own, and leave the curmudgeons to their own self-management for now.
The Father of Air in the foundation reminds us to come from a place of mental wisdom.
Don’t let the emotional drive your decisions right now. Use discernment and a bit of distance to get perspective on how to let yourself be your own best self in May.
4 of Water in this particular deck leans into comfort, compared to the traditional meaning of disappointment.
As an umbrella card over the reading, this speaks of releasing your frustrations at how others fail to enjoy the journey of life as fully as you would like. You do you this month ahead.
You can’t change others, so seek out more time with the people who relish taking pleasure in life with sacred appreciation for that which we can enjoy. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it can be very good.
Mingle fun with sacred this month. Let go of that which you cannot alter, and allow joy and pleasure to be placed on your altar.

Fun Guidance from An Octogenarian
My Mom turned 80 years old this last Tuesday.
Marianna has the zesty Aries personality of a character like Miss Piggy or Auntie Mame wrapped up in a German accent.
Her life is rich with wild stories. She grew up in poverty in postwar East Berlin where the border cut right through her backyard. As a kid, she hid in the summer trees and poured water on Russian soldiers as they walked under, just for a laugh.
At 20 years old, she moved to America without knowing English. Her first husband didn’t speak German, but, as she says, “Well, we were in lust”. It didn’t last long.
She raised a son as a single mom in the ’60’s and ’70’s, and as soon as she married her current husband, my dad, she became chronically ill for decades.
Through it all, she has kept her spirits high. So, in her honor, I wanted to impart some of her most common maxims.
Marianna’s Maxims
(Note: These are best read with a German accent and strong conviction.)
“I am a very lucky person”: This mentality is from a person who went through the above challenges and many more. She persistently focuses on the positive blessings through the trials of life.
“Be Classy, Babes”: She always follows this line with, “And by class, I don’t mean money“. Mom believes how you behave determines how much class you can claim.
“It is always darkest before the dawn”: This expression was a key mantra she repeated through years of chronic illness. We had magnets of it on the fridge.
“Follow your heart”: Even if she doesn’t fully believe in it, Mom has continually voiced her support for my diving into my passion for divination. Sign up for a personal tarot reading to validate her. She loves being right, after all.
“I don’t give a S*** what you think”: Marianna is steadfast and stubborn in what she believes. She’s fierce in her convictions, (even when she is quite obviously wrong). This also is what she shouts as she runs naked into glacial lakes at the top of a mountain hike.
“I don’t care how smart you are if you don’t have common sense”: While Mom would say you’re just born with it, I suggest you develop this skill with an Intuition Coaching session.
“It feels good to help however you can”: Super generous with her community, Mom has gone above and beyond to help others, including rescuing some Romanian women from illegal labor practices they were trapped in. Again, lots of great stories.
“The world is fascinating! I always love learning”: She would agree you should get some lessons in the art of tarot reading with some tarot tutor sessions.
“There’s no such thing as overdressed”: An adamant bargain hunter, my mom loves being dressed up as much as any situation will allow.
Relish a deal like Marianna does by using the 10% discount during Mercury Retrograde! Available for one more week until April 25th with the code RETRO2024

Say No to Say a Better Yes
I couldn’t think of what to write today, and so I pulled 3 cards for direction.
10 of Cups
6 of Pentacles reversed
10 of Wands reversed
Immediately, I knew what to share about.
We all deserve to enjoy a ‘Heck Yes’ feeling regularly in life, and so many of us ‘should on ourselves’ in a way that defeats this potential.
For the past two years, I have been working at freeing myself of old codependent habits.
For me, these look like:
– Saying yes to showing up for others in ways I don’t feel impelled to do
- Feeling guilty for not doing enough for others, or not being productive enough
- Choosing other’s wants over my own needs
- Not asking for support or receiving other’s offerings
- Needing people around me to feel good before I can feel good
As a tarot reader, I see so many querents suffering from the same unhealthy cycles in these areas.
If this is you, you are not alone, and there are better ways to approach being a good person than giving your best energy away.
I have a deep well of tools to share in this area now. Today, I want to offer one primary system I have learned that may help you in your own journey.
I made up a system that I call the 3 P’s:
Pause - When asked for your time and energy, use the phrase, “Let me get back to you”
Ponder - Consider whether you want to give of yourself, and in what ways that would feel like a ‘Heck Yes’ in your body
Perform – Offer what level you can show up and then hold yourself firmly to that limit you have set
Keep in mind, this is awkward to start. People who are accustomed to you over-giving will be confused and possibly flustered.
At first, my own body became almost physically painful when I did this.
Over time, it’s become more at ease and even a joyous sensation.
I have learned that I need to give a lot of self-compassion to myself to feel good while taking care of my energetic boundaries.
Afterward, I try to reward myself with something that feels good to accomplish, perhaps that I might avoid doing by being ‘too busy’ in ways that are not serving my best goals.
Please note, I still do a lot for my community. When I have choice, I simply do the things that feel like a ‘Yes’ in my body, mind, and spirit.
Many more tips and tricks are available when you sign up for a personal tarot reading as a navigation tool.
Want to learn the cards yourself so you can get quick answers in uncertain moments like I did today?
Get a Tarot Reading Lesson to learn how!
The tips here today are about the somatic body awareness that an Intuition Coaching session can directly train you to tune into.
All of these are available at a 10% discount during Mercury Retrograde with the code RETRO2024
Enjoy Your Full Yes,
