In this session, I'm sharing a complimentary five-card tarot reading I did as an act of service, no charge, no filters, just me doing the work I love and letting you see exactly how I read. Today's reading carries a heavy but hopeful energy: we're talking grief, nostalgia, emotional processing, and what it looks like when healing quietly begins even before you realize it.

The cards pulled were the Hermit, the High Priestess, the Six of Cups (our core card), the Ace of Pentacles, and the Five of Cups reversed — and together they tell a really honest story about moving through a season of retreat, trusting your inner knowing, honoring what was, and finally building something stable enough to carry you forward.

I share these public readings so you can see how I communicate, how I connect the dots, and whether my style is a fit for you. I'm direct, I swear, I care deeply, and I will always give you the realest version of what I'm picking up, nothing more, nothing less.

If you want something more private and tailored to your specific energy, personal bookings are where that happens. You can find me at gloamandpezzle.com or reach out on Facebook or Blue Sky.

✨ Key Takeaways:

Grief isn't linear, being fine one moment and devastated the next isn't you being dramatic. That's grief being honest with your nervous system.

Solitude is healthy; isolation isn't, the Hermit energy is about intentional retreat to process, not disappearing because the pain feels too heavy to witness.

You already know the answer, the High Priestess is pointing to the truth you're trying to logic your way around. Trust the gut hit that doesn't need proof.

Nostalgia can nourish or trap you, the Six of Cups asks: what are you holding onto that feeds you, and what are you holding onto that keeps you stuck?

Healing starts small and practical, the Ace of Pentacles says: eat, sleep, hydrate, create one grounding anchor this week. Structure is not the enemy of grief.

You're allowed to feel relief without guilt, the Five of Cups reversed says healing has already begun, quietly and imperfectly. You don't have to earn it through more suffering.

Nobody else gets a vote on your life, other people's opinions about your situation don't carry the weight of your lived experience. Plan for yourself, on your timeline.
