The Shadow Side
Today’s energy is inviting you into the underworld of your own psyche, the place we often try to avoid but desperately need to visit. The Shadow Side isn’t here to destroy you, it’s here to be seen. Everybody has a shadow, a little devil on the shoulder, whispering temptations, anger, pride, fear... whatever we’ve tucked away for the sake of being “good.” But here’s the truth: denying your shadow is like ignoring a child throwing a tantrum in the middle of the room. It won’t stop until you acknowledge it.
This card is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean silencing your dark side, it means integrating it. Get to know your triggers, your jealousies, your rage, your hidden desires. Give them a safe space to exist without letting them drive the car. Balance is key. Your shadow doesn’t have to run the show, but it does deserve a seat at the table.
The Burnt Out Empress
Now, how do we work with that shadow? Step one: stop playing saviour. The Empress in reverse shows up when your nurturing, giving nature has gone into overdrive. You’ve been pouring from an empty cup, stretched thin, and still people are showing up with their empty plates like it’s a damn buffet.
Let’s be real, grown folks need to take accountability for their own mess. It’s not your job to be their emotional support hotline and clean-up crew. When everyone wants a piece of you, your creativity suffers. You feel smothered. Resentment bubbles up. This is the moment to pause and reclaim your space, your voice, your sacred no. Let people feel the sting of their own choices. That’s how they grow.
Your shadow side may feel fierce, but when held with compassion and boundaries, it becomes your greatest protector. Let it help you stop enabling and start empowering, not just others, but yourself.
