Poised to Leap Weekly Blog Post: To be Sovereign in Your Life is to be Free of What No Longer Serves You
March’s Theme:Sovereignty
As the ruler and overseer of your life, you get to choose what stays and goes and what remains attached to you and your energy. We are experiencing a full moon eclipse in Aries on March 25, 2024. This is a great time to assess, detox, forgive, move on, and release. Are there relationships or situations that have continuously drained you, but you are not sure of how to move on from them?
Now is the time to get real about an exit strategy. You can start the process today by making a plan. Whether it is a dead-end job or relationship, or a home that you have outgrown, begin to plan your next chapter today. Perhaps you have a cluttered space that you have been meaning to tackle – let this be the week that you get started and intentionally clear the space.
Maybe you have been wanting to let go of some habits that you know are holding you back. Spend two to three minutes each day this week visualizing what it would be like in your life without the habit of having sovereignty in your life. Feel what it would be like for you to have new, positive, life-affirming habits in its place, focusing on how these new changes are beautifully impacting your life.
Here are some journal or card prompts to help you this week in reclaiming sovereignty in an area of your life:
1. Where in my life do I need to turn a page or start anew?
2. What do I need to change before I can commit to doing this?
3. Am I willing to do it this week? Why or why not?
Here is a rambly video on what to do when you receive cards that don’t make sense. Two takeaways: stop, drop, and lean into your intuition; and when the cards do not make sense, it may be a signal from the Universe that you are not meant to know the answer.
We will be exploring how to sit with the cards that come up in a reading during this coming Saturday’s Reading Lab. Whatever the 1-3 cards that come up for a querent’s question will be what it is. There will be no clarifying cards allowed for this Reading Lab. We will learn to identify where our Intuition really speaks from when we are doing our readings.
Join Poised to Leap to join the monthly Reading Lab sessions. If you want to work with me more closely, consider the Moon Dancer, Cosmic Seer, or Rebel Soul tiers.

Have you reached a plateau in your Tarot studies? Are you struggling to connect the dots in your Tarot readings? Would you like to learn from someone who lives and breathes Tarot?
We will start with the suit of Cups. I will share tips and tools to help you unlock the magic of the Cups in your readings. Whether you are new or seasoned, there is something for you in this workshop. Become confident in your readings and learn how the Cups inform a reading or “talk” to the other cards on the Reading table.
There comes a time when things need to shift and change in order to move forward with ease and for me, that time has come. I am embracing the Death card period and leaning into saying goodbye to Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection, at least in its current form. No worries – you can now access much of the content on my YouTube channel playlist and for a small fee, you can receive the worksheets and PDF Tarot spreads in my Ko-fi Shop.
There are additional videos that are available to those who pay for the spreads and worksheets that are not fully accessible on the YouTube channel playlist.
I will still host periodic live streams discussing the various topics that were covered in the course – so stay tuned! We will still keep the discussion of curating our collections and practicing mindfulness in procuring new decks.
There will still be ways to LEARN and GROW in TAROT with me, by joining me over on Ko-fi, where my Poised to Leap Coaching/Mentorship resides, as well as upcoming courses and workshops for you to participate (whether or not you are a Poised to Leap member).
WHY THE CHANGE?
The time has come for me to close down the Abundant Life Tarot Academy on my website and move much of the learning/teaching environment over to Ko-fi. With this change, I will be closing the free Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection course. This course was born out of my 2020 Depth year experience and I still plan to make sure the content remains available for those who wish to watch it.
Thanks to all those who took and completed the free course, participated in the lives and Zoom calls, and were so supportive of the message I was conveying to the tarot-collecting community.
My deck wishlist has grown to a whopping 24! I used to only manage to keep about 2 to 3 decks on the wishlist when I was in my waxing phase of my collecting. Now that I am not buying as many decks, the wishlist has grown, yet I still aim to be quite discerning on what I ultimately add to the collection.
Some honorable mentions not included in this video, but are hanging out in my Amazon cart are:
✨The Unfolding Path Tarot
✨Rebel Heart Tarot
✨Fifth Spirit Tarot
✨Dream Ritual Oracle Cards
Do you keep a deck wishlist? What is on it at the moment? What has hung out on your wishlist, but you then ultimately decided to take it off the list? Share in the comments section!!
Here are some of my favorite ways to predict timing in Tarot and Oracle Readings. What is your favorite way to predict timing in readings?
I mainly use Tarot for timing or to get a general understanding of when something may or may not happen. I then refine the information with my Divinatory Dice or timing Oracle decks.
Thanks so much for watching!
