Introduction Welcome to my no holds barred, straight up Bad Bitches guide to Tarot. Spirituality and sass can live in the same space. This is where I, and this Tarot deck, live. For those of you who are new to the Tarot, welcome. This tool has sincerely been life-changing for me. I have not only created a thriving Tarot business, but I also run an academy and use the Tarot for my own personal development every day. You have entered a pretty amazing space. To my Tarot friends who have been with me on this journey, welcome too. I hope this deck allows you to see the Tarot in a new way and that it leads you to embrace your inner Bad Bitch.
Cleansing and Charging Your Deck You can welcome your new Tarot deck into your space by performing rituals such as: ● ● ●
A Cleansing Ritual - conduct a smoke ritual with sage, santo palo, herbs and grasses to clear the energy in the cards. A Charging Ritual - leave it on a closed window sill under the light of a Full Moon. I also place clear quartz crystals on top of my decks while they charge. An Intention Ritual - do an elemental blessing or ritual stating the work that you would like to with your deck.
You also want to cleanse and charge your deck when they become heavy with energy, or your readings are confusing. If you use your deck regularly, a good practice is to charge it under the light of every full moon, or in the sun every month.

What do These Gorgeous Cards Mean? The Tarot can be very deep and revealing, but it can also be easy to learn. My hot tips for reading the Tarot are as follows: ● ●
● ● ●
There is no right way to learn or read the Tarot. Trust what you feel above anything else (even what my sassy ass has written in this book). If you are getting a message completely different from what your intuition is telling you, then go with your intuition. Your inner Bad Bitch is never wrong. Keep it simple and learn one key word for each card to start. Draw a card every day to learn the meanings in small increments. Play to your strengths. If you love helping others, then approach the tarot that way. If you want to use the cards to get killer at divining the future, read that way. Do what feels right for you.

How to Use the Guidebook Every Tarot card has multiple meanings, which can be a challenge when interpreting them for your reading. To make it as clear as possible, each card has been sectioned into the different areas we Bad Bitches are likely to ask the cards. Bare Meaning This is the overall energy of the card and the general meaning. This section holds the key to the energy of each of the Tarot cards. It is also the upright meaning for those who read reversals. Boudoir In addition to the Bare meaning, this is the area to look at when you have asked the cards about love and relationships. Business When you have asked the cards about work, career and running your own Badbitch Empire, look at this meaning as well as the Bare meaning. Bank This section of each card is all about money. If you have asked the cards about money flow and finances, this is the section to look at in addition to the Bare meaning. Blocked If you want to read Tarot Card reversals, which is where the card may fall upside down in a reading, this is the section for you to use with those cards. You do not have to read reversals, it is your personal choice. This section can also be used when a card falls into a Tarot Reading position that is considered more negative.

Anatomy of A Tarot Deck The Major Arcana The Major Arcana are the cards in the Tarot that have titles and a number, from 0 - 22. They are presented in a specific order as they tell the story of our soul’s experiences in life; the archetypes we meet, and the impact they have and we have on them. They are the major lessons and initiations we will have the opportunity to learn from in this lifetime. Often extra importance is given to these cards when they come up in a reading. It is like your intuition is telling you to pay attention because there is something deeper going on. One way you can look at the Major Arcana cards is like 22 guides that we may meet in life. They shine a light on different aspects of our beings and help us navigate change and our soul’s journey.
The Minor Arcana The Minor Arcana are the cards that represent our everyday lives, situations, choices and energy. They are the journey from the potential to fulfillment of each of the elements and their physical manifestations. The Cups take us through our journey of finding and experiencing love, on all levels. The Wands lead us through the world of work and passion. The Pentacles represent money and the material world and the Swords are the journey of our ideas, mind and beliefs. I invite you to see the magic and sacredness of the everyday through the Minor Arcana.
7
The Court Cards The Tarot Court Cards are the personalities and people of the deck. Therefore, they represent the people in our lives, and/or the way in which we act and interact with life. When the Tarot Court cards come up in a reading they will mean either: a person that is connected to the question; you or the situation; or an aspect of yourself that is coming into play. This is why it is important to ask specific questions of the cards because people are complicated enough. The Court Card meanings have the Bare meanings, which are the general meaning of the card and the Behaviours. When you read this section, reflect on who this is in the situation or see if this is actually you.

The Tarot Card Meanings The Fool Bare Meaning The Fool is fun, flirty and loves it when a last minute party invitation comes their way. This is the card of unlimited potential and new beginnings. You are being asked to embrace new ways of doing things and seek out new adventures. It is also the card of innocence and looking at the world through rose colored glasses. Careful! This can get you into trouble! Boudoir A new relationship or a new beginning in a old relationship is tied to the energy of The Fool. If you are in a relationship, you may want to reflect on your happiness. Are you being a little foolish or crazy with your heart? Business This card can see you having a rude awakening in your career as it is linked to naivety about the way the business world works and sometimes that means you get burnt in the process. This can also signify your first job out of school or a new job. Bank Do you think money grows on trees? You may be spending like you do. Spur of the moment shopping is all well and good from time to time, but when it becomes the norm, you have a problem. Maybe leave the credit card at home the next time you go out. Blocked Set in your ways? Comfortable are you? Well hold on because you are about to get a little bit of an upset. The Fool is here to ask if you are being too rigid and not playful enough or trusting enough. Lighten up goddess! Life is too short to get stuck in a rut.
13
The Magician Bare Meaning This is one powerful Bad Bitch and she is here to remind you that you are the creator of your own life. If you don’t like something about your life, do something about it. Every decision you make, every affirmation you tell yourself, and where you spend your energy is going to dictate your reality. Make sure it is working in your favour. Boudoir The Magician is basically staring into your soul, asking you what do you really want in love, and more importantly, what are you going to go out and get.. Activities to boost your confidence at this time are a great idea. Watch what people who are courting you are promising. Words are sweet, but actions always speak louder. Business Time to get super creative with your problem solving and to use your resources to succeed with your goals. Even if it takes a few more steps than you originally planned, you will be better off in the long run and are likely to connect with people that you can collaborate with later. Bank Make your money work for you. Look at resourceful ways to increase your bank account. Sell off the clothes you no longer wear. Join a swap group to get something you want without charging it to your credit card. Get good investment advice and get a financial planner if you are really serious. Blocked There is a good chance there is some nasty bitch trying to manipulate you. You may not even see it. Think wisely about agreeing to commit time or money to something. You do not need to say yes on the spot and anyone who makes you feel other wise is trying to swindle you. You may also be giving your power away.
14
The High Priestess Bare Meaning We all love a good mystery and this woman is going to have you wondering what her secret is. Thing is, she isn’t going to tell you. She is more interested in what you feel, what you see and what you think. She will act as a mirror and a patient mentor, leading you to your own answers and insight. Boudoir A little mystery goes a long way. Embrace the sexiness of the unknown. Don’t give it all away off the bat. Enjoy getting to know someone and the early stages of a relationship. You only get the chance once. Also trust your gut when it comes to your lovers. Deep down you always know. Business What is really going on and what is not being said? Read the room and see where the trends are going. More can be gained from this situation by observing than by saying anything. Hold your cards close to your chest for now. All of the information gained by being the observer will come in handy later. Bank Are you making decisions about your money and finances consciously or are you just going along on autopilot? On a deeper level, the High Priestess is asking that you shop and support ethical businesses and bank with companies that aren’t involved with dodgy shit. Blocked You know you are intuitive right? If you said no, then there may be a block around accessing your inner knowing. Work with practices like creative visualization, meditation and the Tarot, to work this muscle out. You may also find that not trusting your intuition right now is going to cost you.
15
The Empress Bare Meaning The Empress is the mother: all of our mothers and Gaia, our Mother Earth. She is the giver of life and nurtures us to reach our potential. She represents fruition, abundance and a genuine desire to care for others. Seek out harmony and healing when this card comes up in a reading and watch what you are spending your time on. This is what you are in effect nurturing in your life. Boudoir Time to plan a romantic evening where you can spend time connecting with each other and give back to each other. This can be at home or at a spa where you can get a couples’ massage. Do something to nurture the bond between you, in a way that is meaningful for you both. Single ladies, hang with your amazing friends. Business You may be in the beginning stages of your business or a project, but it is worth tending the garden you are in my friend. It is going to yield a bounty. We can get so caught up in climbing the ladder or being successful that we forget to enjoy the journey. Hustling is fine; hustling with heart is even better. Bank A positive sign that your money is going to continue to grow, as long as you are paying attention to what you are doing with it. Simple practices like budgeting, recording what you are spending your money on, and having an automatic savings plan is the order of the day. Blocked Smothering something, even if it is out of love and wanting to protect it, is going to have it end up suffocated. This can also be you neglecting to take care of yourself, especially your body and health. It’s all fun and games until you end up sick.
16
The Emperor Bare Meaning Meet the master of organisation. The Emperor knows the benefits of control, strategy and order. While a lot of emphasis is put on these traits for this card, this is also the card of protection and guidance in hard times. Boudoir Protecting the people that you love is admirable. Putting others first and wanting what is best for them is a wonderful aspect of love. Where this becomes tricky is when we start to believe that we know better and impose our wills on other people. Being a guardian is not the same as dominating. Business Are you being the kind of leader that you would follow and get behind, and/or are you working with some? Look at the structure under which your team works or your business is based. Is it one where people can thrive and grow? Or are you unwilling to give up any control? Bank Organise your money space. Are you paying your bills automatically? Do you have a place for your receipts and are your tax returns all up to date? Bring some order to your finances and look at your long term strategy for your money. Blocked This card indicates an unwillingness to lead and wanting to hide from the spot light. Which is fine, not everyone wants to be front and centre. Just make sure no one else is taking credit for your work because of it. You may also not be giving yourself enough credit. You really are brilliant you know.
17
The Hierophant Bare Meaning This card represents all of the institutions we have in our cultures: marriage, schools, government and religion to name a few. We begin to feel the impact of our societies when we come into contact with these institutions. While there is community acceptance and friendship to be found here, there is also control. Remain who you are in the world as you venture further out. Boudoir Someone is getting serious. If this is something that you desire, then this is great. You may also be feeling pressure from your family and friends to commit, get married, have babies or buy a house, a dog and a gold fish. This is usually external expectations and you have a choice of whether they form your reality or not. Business Big businesses do know how to do some things right, otherwise they wouldn’t be in business! Take the good stuff from what they do, learn from case studies and leave the rest. Don’t make success harder than it has to be. Remember your soul’s responsibilities too. You want to have heart and impact other people's lives in a positive way too. Bank This card really points to traditional ways of working with and increasing your money. Working with well thought-out and tested investment strategies is the way to go. This card also comes up when people feel pressure from their families or friends to work in a certain field. Blocked Fuck the man. Screw the system and rebel. This is the call of a blocked Hierophant. They don’t want to play by any rules and have huge authority issues. This is not a bad thing as long is it is aligned with what you feel is right in your heart. Some systems are actually positive.
18
The Lovers Bare Meaning With the title of this card, we often just see The Lovers being only about love and relationships. While this card does represent our experiences in life where we enter those partnerships and put other people's needs and wants first, it is also the card of duality and choice. We show who we really are with the choices we make. Actions speak louder than words. Boudoir Well, this is kind of obvious. Two people coming together, attracted to each other and forming an intimate relationship. If you are in a relationship currently, things may be headed for a crossroads. If you are single, this is a positive sign that there is love or a lover just around the corner. Business You could be mixing business with pleasure here. Be careful. Every decision you make has a ripple effect and it could have unforeseen repercussions for a long time to come. If you have been looking at collaborating or working in a partnership, this is a positive sign to move on to something new and broaden your horizons. Bank Too many cooks may be spoiling your money mojo! Your mind may be racing, thinking about money and your finances too much. Simplify things as much as you can and bring some harmony to your money flow. Blocked We always have a choice and this is where we can use the power that we have in our lives. When this card is blocked, we are giving our choices away, allowing others to make them for us, apologising for them and failing to see just how powerful those choices are.
19
The Chariot Bare Meaning Incredible things happen when you are able to wield your own personal power, even in times when opposing forces try to derail you. It can be the key ingredient to whether people fail or succeed. It is time to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to your actions. Intentions need to have action and actions are more meaningful with intention. Boudoir Who is wearing the Prada shoes in your relationship? Check in to see if you are really both driving in the same direction. There could also be a battle of wills in the bedroom and no one seems to be winning at present. Try not to loose your cool or loose sight of the big picture. The small things can undo a steady relationship if given too much power. Business Time to dig in, pull up your sleeves and keep going. You may be facing challenges and even people who are looking on, just waiting for you to fail. Don’t stress, you have this. Your mind is your best ally. Get your thoughts ordered and take one thing on at a time. Show them what you are made of. Bank If there is any card in the Tarot that is going to ask you if you are being flippant with your money, it is The Chariot. Are you thinking when you pay for things, or are you not too worried about the real world implications of spending and not having a budget. Get your mind back on your money quick smart. Blocked Feeling a little lost and chaotic at the moment or like you aren’t in control? This is the blocked energy of will. If you are able to get your mindset back to a place that allows you to get back on track on your own, then do what you need to do. It may be time to get an expert to reset your focus.
20
Strength Bare Meaning Strength comes in many forms and this card represents the power that they all hold. Compassionate strength, soft strength, physical strength, mental strength and emotional strength all have an important role to play in our lives. Determine what kind of strength you need for your specific situation. Boudoir If you are facing issues or challenges in your relationship, this is a positive sign that you do have all of the resources, tangible and intangible, to overcome them. For all of the single Bad Bitches, you are being asked to have patience, with yourself and with the process of discovering love. Business There are many business and work cultures, not to mention the personalities you will work with. If you are surrounded by the wrong crowd or in the wrong business, this is a sign to be strong and stand up for what you believe in. You know what feels wrong and what feels right. Trust that. Bank You are being called on your self control with your money. Instant gratification can feel really good in the moment, but it is likely not going to help you in the long term. Usually it just leads to buyers regret and having more stuff than you need. Be patient with your financial goals. They will be worth it. Blocked Sometimes the only way forward is to just barrel through. However, being heavy handed can also lead you to becoming cut-off from your softer side. You have been strong for a long time. This is a call to show your more vulnerable side. Remember kindness is not a weakness.
21
The Hermit Bare Meaning There comes a time when modern 'real' life gets overwhelming or we just need a time out. This is the vibe of The Hermit card. You are being asked to take some time to find your inner peace and to get some perspective on everything. Silence and alone time are a perfect way to recharge. Boudoir Are you happy and is this how you want to be loved? This is what The Hermit would ask you about your relationships: intimate, family and friends. It doesn't matter if you are in a romantic relationship or single, this is the card of journeying deep within to ensure that your needs are being met. Business If you are working on your career and you pull this card, it is time to ask for some training or look at a professional development plan. Reflect on what is going to lead you to the top of your game, then ask for it. If you have asked about a decision and pulled The Hermit, it is best to contemplate it very carefully before moving forward. Bank Pause. Really think about large purchases and if they are going to help or hinder your long term goals. This is a call to hold a light up to and appreciate what you already have before you go out and get more. Saving your cash is much more aligned with the energy of this card than spending. Blocked When we block The Hermit, we are unwilling to go within or question our motivations for things. We don't want to know why either. If you are feeling like you are just operating on auto pilot or just muddling through, this is what I am talking about. Self awareness isn't self judgement, you can be kind to yourself and real.
22
The Wheel of Fortune Bare Meaning The Wheel is often seen as a positive card, especially if you are looking forward to a change. She is lady luck. Harnessing the energy of this movement is a good idea. No more sitting on the side lines looking, get involved. All modes of travel and movement are also connected to this card. Boudoir The Wheel here can apply to all of these situations: Your relationship is getting deeper and more serious; you have gone through the honeymoon phase and now are looking at a real relationship. It may also mean that an existing relationship is over. Or it may indicate a new relationship is just around the corner. Business Jackpot! Especially if you are looking for a new job or are waiting to hear from that new Client. This card indicates that you have been doing all the right things to bring it about. Get ready for it. Promotions are also attached to this card. Or it could mean exiting a job so look at the other cards for clues. Bank Small windfalls and money coming in are linked to this card. So don't be surprised if you find yourself with more money soon. If you have a stable financial situation, make sure you have looked for weaknesses and prepare more savings for unexpected expenses. Blocked Change doesn't really give a shit if you are ready or not, or if you want it or not. It is going to happen anyway. You do get to choose how you deal with it and how you view it, and that is what life is mostly about. Resistance is only going to leave you behind. Embrace the Wheel; it will be easier that way.
23
Justice Bare Meaning This lady of Karma doesn't care if you had good intentions or if you were in the moral right, she is going to reflect back to you what you put out into the world. There are the laws that society makes and universal laws. Don't mix the two up when you are dishing out your own sense of personal justice. Start by being honest with yourself. Boudoir Throwing blame around is just going to end up getting everyone pissed off. You are being asked to take personal responsibility for your own actions and input into your relationship. Try and look at things as fairly as possible, without heated emotions. This card is also linked to marriage and divorce. Business There are going to be contracts signed in your future and, depending on your situation, this is either a great thing or something that has just turned your stomach. Regardless of what it is, there are going to be long term implications to the next step, so take it wisely, knowing full well what you are getting into. Bank Are you being honest about your financial situation and your responsibilities? Hiding away from it will only get you so far. It will catch up with you eventually. Move forward with integrity and work on finding a comfortable solution. Mortgages and loans are also connected to this card and money. Blocked Well, we just don't care about how other people are going to be affected by our actions, do we? There absolutely are times where you have to be selfish, But if it is all about you all the time, the scales are going to tip so much you are going to end up on top, but very, very alone.
24
The Hanged Woman Bare Meaning You are being asked to see things from a completely new perspective and give up all assumptions that you know what is going on, and what is right and wrong. If you need to hang upside down, then that is cool too. Flexibility is the key to understanding where you are right now. Give up the control and give yourself breathing room. Boudoir You have done all you can. You are just going to have to let this one go. You can't control another person, no matter how much you try. By holding on to the relationship, an argument, or a desire for someone, you are crushing the possibility of a future. Relax a little and know your worth. It will work itself out. Business You may be experiencing delays in projects getting done, people not meeting their deadlines and all sorts of shit that you just didn’t expect popping up, making things annoying. These things happen and getting all worked up about it changes nothing. This may be a blessing in disguise, you never know. Bank Well something isn't working or you wouldn't be stuck here. While you are in a situation where there is a delay in money coming to you, you did do something in order for this to be your reality. Take this time to ensure that it won't happen again and focus on something else while you wait for the change to come. Blocked Fuck it, I am doing it anyway. Famous last words of many regrets. This is every stubborn person's tagline. How is that working for you? Stressed? Micro managing everything to death? It is not all your responsibility and you can’t do everything. Give some of it up and breathe.
25
Death Bare Meaning Death does mean death, but it is extremely rare that it represents the death of a person. Death is the end of a cycle. It is not small change, it is BIG ass, my life is never going to be the same change. Total transformation. It also allows you the opportunity to begin again. Boudoir This can be a little obvious when it comes to relationships. You ask about you and your BF and you pull this card. Well sometimes it is just that simple. Ask yourself if your relationship is really working anyway? Don't settle out of fear of being alone. Single ladies transform your dating regime, shake things up. Business More often than not, this is tied to businesses losing money, people quitting, jobs being lost and clients walking out the door. When this happens, something is not working. It is a sign to get back to the basics and do things really well. It is a chance to make some incredible changes in your work/career and business. Bank Gonna be honest with you, it is not really the card you want if you are hard up for cash and want to know if you are going to be getting what you are owed. What this can mean on the positive side, is that habits and beliefs of other people have changed, so it could be a good thing. Blocked When change happens, we sometimes don't allow ourselves the time and space to grieve and heal. We bury ourselves under with work, go out and party too hard, or pretend that everything is fine when really it isn’t. Don't discredit your emotions by shoving them under a rug. You will never heal that way.
26
Temperance Bare Meaning Think of this Bad Bitch Tarot card as your loving friend who has come to remind you to take care of yourself. As you read that, I bet that you gave yourself a few excuses as to why you haven't been experiencing any balance in your life. Sure, those excuses may be totally valid, but you also have the choice between chaos and peace. It's up to you. Boudoir Little rituals or actions of love can bring peace and harmony to your relationships, especially if you have been fighting or things have been tense. You have drawn this card as a reminder to ease off each other and create sanctuary instead of finding fault and placing blame. Business Temperance often comes up in readings for people when they are working more than one job and juggling a lot of responsibilities. Watch that you don't burn yourself out. You may have to reassess your timelines or give up a shift, but you can't do anything effectively if you make yourself sick. Bank Now is not the time to splurge or to be reckless with your financial assets. Make your money work for you and find a way to treat yourself that is not connected to emptying your purse or stacking up your credit card debt. Blocked Going all out can feel really good, but there are real world consequences to saying 'Fuck it' and splurging, whether that is with money, food, too much sex and too much down time. You throw off your inner compass and positive momentum stops, which means you have to start from the beginning again.
27
The Devil Bare Meaning The Devil card in Tarot has nothing to do with religion. The Devil is our material world and materialism. This is not a bad thing until it is the ONLY thing. Then we have a problem. When we are tempted to think that all of the things around us will lead to fulfilment, we are filling a bucket with a massive hole in it. Don't be fooled. Boudoir Some shit is going down and it is probably something you have been feeling intuitively for a while now. Temptations are around you or your partner and your bonds of love and loyalty are being tested. This is also linked to superficial relationships and good ole sex without strings attached. Business You may find yourself being asked to do something questionable. Profitable sure, but morally it is not going to sit well with you. These are our defining moments. Hopefully you can avoid it, but be careful who you trust and who you keep company with in business or at work. A trickster is around. Bank Doing anything dodgy with your money is not a good idea. Trying to avoid taxes, or payments for something you are supposed to make, will bite you in the ass. This is also the card of gambling, so just be careful about your recreational use of money. Do not lend out your money right now. People may be lying to you about it. Blocked Too much, too fast and too often. These behaviours are all The Devil blocked. Extreme materialism or addictions of all kinds are linked to this card. If you find yourself in a position of chaos and hopelessness, this is the time to acknowledge it and get some help. Liberate yourself.
28
The Tower Bare Meaning Well, shit is about to get real, and very quickly. The Tower is change on a level that can be hard to comprehend. You are soon going to find out who your real friends are and just what you are made of. These changes are not under your control. They are way bigger than your influence. All you can do is be prepared. Boudoir Unfortunately this card often means your relationship is due for a big shake up. Secrets coming out or large, unavoidable life changes. Often, the relationship doesn't make it through intact. Nothing lasts forever and the illumination had to happen, as hard as it is. Business Start to prep your online work portfolio because there is a very good chance that you are going to need it soon. Contact your network, quietly and start to talk to top headhunters and recruiters. Get ahead of this as quickly as you can and without panicking. Freaking out is just going to demobilise you when you need to be a warrior right now. Bank I would not want to be someone who has all of their money in the stock market when this card comes up in a reading. Finances are going to take a hit and it is not something you can control. That is why there are so many cards that tell you to budget, plan and save, because of shit like this! Blocked Denial is a funny thing. It can keep us in relationships that are toxic or abusive. It can have us thinking that the job we have is the only one that is out there. It can eat us away from the inside. Don't let your ego keep you trapped or pretend that things are all okay when they aren't. Use this opportunity to move forward.
29
The Star Bare Meaning Time to let your light shine and to be who you really are. This is a card of positive self belief and self esteem. Loving even our faults. Authenticity is always in fashion. This is all round a very positive card, so if you have asked about moving forward with something this is a good sign to. Boudoir A blessing for all relationships. It is a great sign for those looking for love - it's on the way! If you are in a relationship, work on strengthening the bond you have by doing something romantic and new. Single ladies, this is not the time to be a wallflower. You have too much to offer for that. Business This is a blessing card for all matters, so things are going well here. One thing you can do to make things even more incredible, is to do something fun and social with your work/business and get inspired. Celebrate your success with others. A happy team is a loyal and productive one. Bank If there ever was a card that means finding an income from doing what you are passionate about, this is it. It doesn't have to be the main source of income. It doesn't mean quitting your day job either. It just means having more than one stream of money and who doesn't love that? Blocked We would never see the stars if we only looked down. We would never know what else is out there if we give up. Hopelessness isolates people and makes them feel small. Remember your connection to the people you love and to the magic you can command. Do what you can to empower yourself.
30
The Moon Bare Meaning The Moon is incredibly romantic and divine, but she is also ever changing and pulls at our unconscious. This is the card of illusions and things not being what they seem. Pay attention to your dreams and make sure you are getting enough sleep at this time. Don't take things at face value. Boudoir What is really going on here? You may want to believe that everything is okay, but in reality your relationship is a bit of a hot mess. Not only are you lying to yourself, you are also deceiving the people around you. Reflect on your motivations for staying where you are. Business Hold your tongue when it comes to your brilliant ideas and also when it comes to gossiping and getting involved with office politics. You don’t have all the information you need and there is a good chance that what you say will be used against you. Bank Allow for things to have their natural cycle and don't try to rush something that simply will not be rushed. Work with the New Moon to manifest the money that you need and keep doing the work through to the Full Moon where you can create some powerful magic. Blocked A little fantasy keeps things fun and interesting. Too much fantasy can be unhealthy. Sugar coating things for people, not being real with what is happening and what you really need, or just full blown living in a personal la-la land are all The Moon blocked.
31
The Sun Bare Meaning Bright, hot, reliable and life giving, The Sun brings with it potential and energy. This is the card of action and joy. Getting outdoors for some Vitamin D is always a good idea when this card comes up in a reading. It is a positive sign. As long as everything is feeling good, don't over think it. Be grateful for your blessings. Boudoir Lovers, get away for a weekend and get sexy! Single ladies this is your call to work on that confidence, unless you are like me and seem to have a little too much of it at times. Sign up for a burlesque dance class or an acting class. Do something to boost your confidence. It will shine through in everything you do. Business Take advantage of the energy you have and get productive. Business is not the same thing. Block out times to get things done. Prioritise what is important to you, even if that means working a little more than normal, for a short period of time. The effort will be rewarded. Bank This card is often connected to spending money on travel, creative renovations and decorating, or passion projects. Don't forget these important things when you are creating a budget for yourself. Allow yourself the joy and space to feed your soul with what feels good. Blocked This card is about being all talk, or over confident and not following through. Words are just hot air with no meaning if you don't deliver. Thinking after acting and running away from commitments are all tied to The Sun in it's shadow aspect.
32
Judgement Bare Meaning This can be as obvious as the word Judgement itself. It is the judgements we have of other people, of ourselves, society’s, other people’s choices and our own self importance thrown in there for good measure. Remember we are very small grains of sand in a very big ocean and we don't know everything. Compassion before judgement. Boudoir This card often comes up when a couple is going through a period of hardship and is being tested. This is when we are not sure if it is worth it anymore, and the grass is looking a whole lot greener on the outside. Get to the heart of the matter and address that before something completely unrelated unravels everything. Business At work, this card can represent evaluations of work and of your job with management or leader. Ensure that you are managing your stress levels and prepare for this and all meetings you are being asked to attend. This can also be the call to do that work that you are really meant to do this lifetime. No time to waste! Bank Money is really a representation of what we value in life. We only spend our money on the things that reflect this, on the labels we buy, to the businesses we support. When you can view money as an extension of your value system, it becomes a much more powerful ally. Blocked 'It's everyone else’s fault and everyone's out to get me.' If this sounds familiar in any way, we need to talk. Playing the victim may get you attention, but it is the most disempowering thing you can do for yourself. Woman up and take responsibility for where and who you are.
33
The World Bare Meaning The cycle has come to an end, but in a way where there is completion and not destruction. It is time to celebrate your success and all that you have done. Take a moment to reflect on what you would do differently next time and what you have learnt. Because, you are also about to begin something new. Boudoir Often, this card means big developments in a relationship. Moving in together, getting married and/or starting a family. It is where we feel that our world in love is coming together and we are in a place of commitment and security. The next adventure is just around the corner. Business For businesses, this can be people selling or buying a business or it branching out and growing with new locations. It is also connected to travelling for work, especially overseas or cross country. It is seen as a positive card of growth. Bank A positive card for most financial situations and questions. When you use the resources you have to create more wealth, you will do very well. When you allow things time to yield results, you will succeed. It is never a bad time to read a book on finance and money too! Blocked You are so close, just dig in and finish what you have started. See it through or at least end it in a way that you will feel good about. The World is about maturing and growing as a person. Unfortunately it does mean we have to deal with some crappy situations at times, but you can handle it with class.
34
The Cups The Cups are associated with the Element of Water. The Tarot Cards in the suit of the Cups are linked to our emotions and the journey we take through our relationships with ourselves and others. The Cups are deep, unconscious, loving and healing. Love and relationships are their realm and are the major theme of the cards.
The Ace of Cups Bare Meaning
The Ace of Cups represents the gift of our emotions. The cup is shown as overflowing with water; the element of life and emotion. We cry tears of joy and sadness, and our bodies are mostly water. This is being offered to you; you better take it before someone else does. Boudoir A new love, lover or friend is signaled by this card. If you are already in a relationship, this card represents a sense of romantic euphoria. Maybe it is time to tell someone that you love them. Being open to the possibilities of love is highly recommended when this card comes up in a reading. Business You are emotionally invested in your work and this is admirable. This is a call to do the work that you are deeply passionate about and that makes a difference to your life. Don’t live someone else's dream. Bank Accepting the abundance around you and stay in a state of gratitude. Time to count those blessings and say a big ole thank you to the universe. The more thankful you are, the more prosperity is going to come your way. Blocked The Ace of Cups reversed shows that we are emotionally overwhelmed. We could also be in state of lashing out at others to deal with our pain.
35
The Two of Cups Bare Meaning Who doesn’t love it when someone you hit it off with buys you a drink that big? Wed them now! You two only have eyes for each other. There could be a parade walking right in front of you and neither of you are going to care. There is no denying it, you are meant to be. A card of blessed partnerships. Boudoir The Two of Cups is often called the true love card. You may not be surfacing for a while. Enjoy this connection and mutual attraction. It is something to be treasured. Give yourself the gift of allowing this relationship to blossom and grow organically. Go with the flow and stay in the present. Business Your business partnership is blessed. The people that you are working with, and have surrounded yourself with, are elevating you. This is a positive affirmation to move ahead or to seek out new business partnerships. Bank Love doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. If you are finding that you are spending a lot on other people, this is a wake up call to reign it in. Blocked Be honest now, are you giving your power away to that ridiculously attractive person you have a major crush on? They do not hold the key to your happiness. Take back your energy and start loving yourself more.
36
Three of Cups Bare Meaning Call your women and celebrate! If you have been too serious lately, this is THE party card. Get out there. You are way to fabulous to be hidden away from the world. Time to connect to the people that lift you up. It is a reminder to be aware of the company that you keep. Spending time with the right people, and in the right way, is vital for a healthy life. Boudoir Three’s company… well if that is your thing, go for it. This card shows that everything you give to your loved ones you will get in return. However, the Three of Cups may represent people imposing on your relationships or sticking their noses in your private life. It may also be a reminder to reconnect with friends if you have been spending too much time with the significant other. Business Finding a common goal with the people that you work with, for or manage is important when this card comes up in a reading. Connect on an emotional level with your community. You are likely to have a more productive business this way. Bank Money is coming your way. Use it wisely. This is a little bonus from the universe that you may not have expected. It could also be a friend who is asking for money or you owing a friend. Balance that out as quickly as possible. Blocked Either you are partying too hard and not taking care of your business, and by that I mean your body, work and spirituality, or you are isolating yourself from others. Recharge your batteries if you need to but don’t alienate the ones closest to you.
37
Four of Cups Bare Meaning Clearly you are not impressed about something. You are closed off physically and are having none of what ever BS people are throwing your way. Here is the thing though, you are also missing out on everything positive and good too. Snap out of it. Boudoir It isn’t all about you. Now I know this may come as a big shock, but it isn’t. Your focus may have been a little too narrow of late and the people around you are starting to feel alienated and are withdrawing from you. Also, if you are withholding sex, affection or even giving someone the silent treatment, knock it off, it is really unattractive. Business You don’t want to be here and you definitely do not want to be doing what you are doing. There is no longer any challenge and your heart is just not in it. So here are your options. Shift your perspective and re-engage or get out. The longer you leave it in this space of apathy, the more damage you are doing. Bank This is not a good time to spend. The Four of Cups in money is the card of withdrawal, so you are likely to lose more money than you make at the moment. Plug the leaks that you can and avoid costly expenses until things change for the better. Blocked You are being asked to get a move on and shake off the stagnant energy around you. Enough of the complaining about everything. Move on already.
38
Five of Cups Bare Meaning There is no denying it, where you are sucks right now. You feel crappy and there is probably a very good reason your mascara is running and there is spilt wine on the floor. Feel and grieve your loss. No good will come from you bottling it up. Boudoir Breakups suck. If you haven’t recently gone through a breakup, one is likely to be coming around the corner. This card also represents people disappointing you, leaving someone you love and pining for love. Anyway you cut it, it isn’t a party right now. Business Maybe you didn’t invest when you should have, or passed on an opportunity that went viral. There is no point wishing you could go back in time and have a do over. What’s done is done. Your energy is better spend building your future, rather than lamenting your past. Bank Did you feel a little dizzy the last time you looked at your bank statement? We are all human. Acknowledge that you may not have made the right choice this time, learn and move on. Blocked You are not alone in how you feel but internalising it is not going to help. There is no shame in being hurt or feeling crappy. It is immensely brave to ask for help and be vulnerable.
39
Six of Cups Bare Meaning Joy is more joyful when you get to share it with other people, especially those who are your family. Spending quality time with your given or chosen family can nourish your inner child. All acts of play and fun are also encouraged. Get silly. Boudoir It is very likely a lover or childhood friend will be returning from your past. You may also find yourself wondering about the one that got away or about a past relationship. A pregnancy is possible, so if you don’t want a little bundle of joy, be careful. Business Make work and business decisions based on practicality and success, rather than on your emotions and sense of loyalty. Connections are incredibly important, however, don’t sacrifice your career for sentiment. Bank If you have been asking about money and drew this card, you are being asked to share what you have with others. If you are unable to give money, consider what else can you give to the greater community. Do something to make someone else feel like a million bucks. Blocked Are you refusing to move on from the past? You ex may have been super hot, but you broke up for a reason. Romanticising, or even worse beating yourself up about the past, is NOT the way to live a healthy and happy future. Time to put the past to bed.
40
Seven of Cups Bare Meaning You certainly are surrounded by some tempting things, all vying for your time and money. Choice is amazing, it is a luxury for sure, but it can also be a trap. Consider carefully and identify illusions and reality. Not everything shiny is Tiffany’s. Boudoir This is not the card of commitment. It is actually the complete opposite. You, or the person you asked about, are not about to get tied down. There is just simply too much to experience in love. Business I know that your friend looks like she has the most amazing job with the international travel and perks, but she is instagram filtering the shit out of what you are seeing. Things are not what they seem. If someone is pitching you something and you draw this card, dig deep and don’t sign anything until you have proof! Bank Emotional spending could be happening at the moment. There could also be too many accounts, credit cards, rewards programs and general money stuff to get your head around. Time to prune your wallet and consolidate. Blocked Someone is stuck in fantasy land. While having dreams and goals is amazing, if you do nothing but think about it all day, it is going to get you nowhere. Back up all those good intentions and desires with some work.
41
Eight of Cups Bare Meaning You have officially had it and are moving on from the bull shit. It could be a person, job, situation or a habit. Whatever it is, you have just had a messy breakup with it and are stomping your fine ass away from it. This is a sign that you have emotionally outgrown your current situation and are moving onward and upward. Boudoir So this is as good as it is going to get if you are in a relationship. Now that you know that, you can decide if you want this or not. Single babes, it is time to expand your social circle and do something completely new to explore your love options. Business If you are waking up with dread in the pit of your stomach because you have to go into that job you hate or work with that troll boss, this card is calling you out to leave. Why do it to yourself? Find another job and get the hell outta there. Bank The money shame card. You don’t want to open your credit card statement because you know it is not going to be good and you probably haven’t filed your taxes for ages. Avoidance is only going to make this harder. Blocked Running away again are we? How has that been going for you? Maybe, just maybe (and I say this with love), you are the common denominator where things are coming undone all the time. You don’t need to keep running away from yourself. Work on your self love.
42
Nine of Cups Bare Meaning It is raining happiness and you didn’t even need a single cocktail to feel the buzz. You are the queen of making yourself happy and that is a huge victory. This is a positive card where you are in a place of love, beauty and abundance. Boudoir If you are in a relationship, things are maturing and you feel stable and secure in who you are and what your relationship is. It is smooth sailing. Enjoy this time and express your love to those around you. Single ladies, being happy and whole on your own is more attractive than needy. Just saying. Business All of the hard work you have done is beginning to pay off. You are being recognised for your achievements and successes at work. This could also be you winning an award, scholarship, work competition or promotion. Bank Money is good, there is no need to stress. Things are stable and your cash flow keeps increasing. You have everything that you need. This is the card of getting what you want; remember it is not always attached to a dollar sign. Blocked Overindulging are we? Put the wine glass down and back away from it slowly. If you haven’t been overindulging, take a look at how you have been coming across to the people around you. Confidence is great; smugness is not. Abundance is wonderful; greed is ugly. Run a health check on your vibe.
43
Ten of Cups Bare Meaning True happiness is a thing you know. The trick is understanding what truly makes you happy. This is the ultimate love card. Emotions on all fronts are in harmony. Family is thriving and you have come to a place of love and acceptance of self. Boudoir Will it be an engagement ring, wedding bells, babies and a white picket fence for you? Or would you rather a DINK status and jet setting around the globe? In regards to relationships this card is the dream outcome. It is what you have fantasised about; it may not look exactly how you expected; but it is all about how you FEEL. Business You have just smashed that project, presentation, deadline, job out of the ball park and charmed the pants off of your client. This card signifies landing clients, wrapping up large projects and moving on to bigger and better things. Bank You have a good relationship with money and it shows. There is no holding on to it too tightly. It is flowing as it should to you and the people around you. You realise that money is just energy and that there is always enough to go around. Peace with finances is a wonderful place to be. Blocked All emotion, all states of being, everything is in a constant state of flow and change. The highs of bliss and joy can not last forever. Happiness is a state but try to find a good harmony with it; don’t try to chase the emotional highs all the time and forget to enjoy real happiness.
44

Behaviours ●
A person who expresses their emotions openly without any filter, which is a good thing, but some may find it confronting.

45
Knight of Cups Bare Meaning If you are looking for romance, this is the card you want to see in the deck. They are charming, beautiful in energy, know exactly what to say and when to say it. They make for a die-hard romantics ultimate fantasy. The Knight of Cups will easily seduce you and pull you under their sexy spell. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as you are not looking for commitment. Behaviours ●
Taking romantic actions. Words are okay, but you do need to show up and create a loving space for the people you are in a relationship with.

Chasing a fantasy in love and not something sustainable.
46
Queen of Cups Bare Meaning The Queen of Cups is a highly psychic and intuitive person. As the healer of the deck, she has a huge heart and is always there for the people she loves.

48
The Swords The Swords are associated with the Element of Air. The Swords are linked to the mind, our thoughts and beliefs. They are all forms of communication. The Swords can be seen as the hard cards or negative cards; I just see them as impartial. They cut cords and can be used to protect people or cut people down. Inspiration, messages, ideas, beliefs and thoughts are all in the realm of the Swords.
Ace of Swords Bare Meaning
Are you going to accept the idea that the muses have sent your way? Will you enter into an agreement to see this inspiration through and manifest it down into to the material world? This is what the Ace of Swords asks. This is the beginning of a project, idea or even just something that is beginning to take form. It is the first step. Boudoir Do you know what you really want in a relationship? Do you know how you want to be loved? Where are your boundaries and the “I will not accept this at all” list? This is a call to get super clear on your expectations and ideas around love and relationships. Business You are way too close to the situation at work or in a project to be thinking clearly. Your laser focus has allowed you to achieve so much but it is now time to log off the laptop, and find an inspiring space to allow your mind some time to unwind. Who knows, you may find even better ideas while getting some mental R&R. Bank You know those stories where you hear about someone who moved to New York with $20 in their pocket and they made it. This is the Ace of Swords. It is the knowledge that you don’t need a lot of money to make an impact. That you can stretch out and invest your money wisely to make more. Blocked “It’s my way or the highway”. Have you ever noticed how many real friends these type of people tend to have? Being rigid in any aspect of life is stifling and overbearing for others. Look at other ways of doing things. Broaden your view.
49
Two of Swords Bare Meaning Well, you are going nowhere in a hurry. Option one sucks and option two sucks just as much. So what are you going to do? It is not a good time to make big, life changing decisions. If you are feeling unsure, wait it out. Clarity will come and then you can make your choice. Boudoir Tie me up Scottie. Really it could mean that. There is nothing wrong with adding a little blindfold to the mix. Beyond some light bondage, the Two of Swords means that there is confusion around your relationship. Now is not the time to press about your future. Business You have way too many people putting their two cents in about what you should do about your work/business. Never mind what the cheap seats have to say. They aren’t the ones who have to do the actual work once the decision has been made. You do. Reflect on what you want. The only person whose opinion matters is you. Bank There is a reason things are not flowing to your bank account at the moment. You may not be able to understand or like it much but trust it. Don’t sign anything or make big financial moves at this time. Blocked Hindsight is 20/20 and we all have a tale of when we didn’t listen to our intuition or when we didn’t do the right thing for ourselves. It usually doesn’t pan out well. Honor your intuition. Don’t block it. This can also be a sign that you are procrastinating too much. Get to it Bad Bitch!
50
Three of Swords Bare Meaning There is no way to get around this one. This is the heartbreak card and that shit hurts. Emotionally you are not in a good place right now. This card represents breakups, endings of relationships of all kinds and loss. It is pretty much just pain in a card. Boudoir If you asked about love and you drew this card you are already living the painful reality of a breakup, or have a feeling that things are not going well. Where you go from here and how you treat yourself now is extremely important. Treat yourself like the Queen you are and demand more from your next love. Business Someone has probably stabbed you in the back at work, or is about to. If it is the former, at least you know who is not your friend. Fighting at work, collaborations going south, it is all fun and games at the drama carnival. Bank Change your pin numbers, double check your internet browser security and up your password complexity. If you have applied for credit or mortgage, this is not a great sign that you will be approved. Work on bettering your credit rating. Blocked ‘It is all their fault and I did nothing to deserve this’ if this sounds familiar, we need to talk. There is never just one person at fault in any relationship or partnership. If you are taking things too personally this card may show up too. It is time to be real with yourself and do some reflection on your responsibilities.
51
Four of Swords Bare Meaning You are a warrior and life can be a battle field at times. This card is a call from your soul for a time out. Give yourself the gift of a vacation, especially from all of the things on your mind. A meditation retreat, a day of rest or spa day may bring some peace into your life. Boudoir It is time to cool it, especially if you have been arguing and nitpicking with the people you love. This may also indicate that you are being a little too detached from how others feel when you communicate. Take a moment to reconnect with your heartspace before speaking next. Business Too many ideas and not enough follow through. Sound familiar? All of those ideas are wonderful but they aren’t going to get you anywhere unless you do something about it. Get all of your desires down on paper, pick one, and get going. Bank Are you allowing money to invade your mental space? A busy mind can make for some messy financial decisions. If money worries are making you lose sleep at night, you may need to get some unbiased help. Blocked You may be engaging in situations where you are over-stimulated and not resting enough. If you are the kind of person who says yes to everything and then finds out you have overbooked, this is a kind reminder to get a planner.
52
Five of Swords Bare Meaning So someone is being a bitch, and not a kick ass bad bitch, but an actual hurtful bitch. Gossip, backstabbing and being petty seems to be the theme at the moment. If this is not you (and be honest) then someone around you is not to be trusted. This can also mean that you are speaking ill of yourself. Boudoir Lovers drama, fights with your friend and an unhappy home. If you have drawn this card you probably know things aren’t rosy at the moment. There is no need to act like a victim in your relationship or act as though some of the fault is not yours. A dose of forgiveness and kindness can work wonders. Business No one seems to be playing nicely in your team. Clients and customers are getting on your last nerve. Remove yourself from the situation and from behind your computer, before you say something you will regret. , Bank Some nasty financial news may be coming your way soon. If this is not the case for you, watch how you speak about money. Are you creating a crappy financial reality by speaking it into creation? Watch your words around your money. Blocked You may find that you know someone or something is bad for your mental health, but you are blocking it. No good comes from sticking your head in the sand and hoping things will just get better.
53
Six of Swords Bare Meaning Did someone say vacation? I mean look at this fabulous woman, she is packed and all ready to go! We all work hard and spend so much energy on our work, relationships and other people, so no feeling guilty about taking a holiday for yourself. Leave your troubles behind and get on the jet plane or book some time at a holiday resort. Boudoir Things may have been a little heavy at late with everyday life getting in the way of romance. It is the perfect time for a lovers retreat or a romantic weekend away. If you are unable to get away, creating a loving environment at home is the way to go. Business There are a lot of moving parts around your work and career at the moment. This is a great card if you want a promotion. Not so good if you want to keep status quo. Goal posts may move with projects and your boss may not even know what they want. Try to just go with it. Bank I am no financial planner so it’s best to speak to the professionals on this. However, this card in relation to money means looking at the long term strategy of what you are doing with your money. Some flexibility may also work in your favour. Blocked The grass may seem greener on the other side and there are a ton of people out there trying to make you believe that is true. Quit creeping facebook and instagram. That is only going to make you feel worse. Focus on your own grass, and your own blessings. Reclaim your mind space.
54
Seven of Swords Bare Meaning Some shady shit is going down, so be on alert. This card is the thief in the night. Whenever this card comes up for me in a reading, I pull in my energy. I check what I have been saying, and to whom, and I listen to my intuition with everything. There is a trickster around! Boudoir Withholding love or sex to lord it over someone is not empowering and is going to wreck the trust in your relationship so quickly. What are you withholding? A secret, the way you feel, your passions and desires? Someone is taking something from you or vise versa. Identify what is really going on with your emotions and beliefs. Business You need to lock it down at work. That smiling ‘friend’ at work that you share all of your ideas with is going to steal them and present them to your boss as theirs. That person who says yes is not going to follow through. Watch that you get down payments before you do any work for clients. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Bank Check your bank and credit card statements to make sure that you are not being charged for something you didn’t actually buy. Lending out money or giving loans at this time is not a good idea. You have nil chance of getting it back. People may also be flat out lying to you about what they are using/needing it for. Blocked You know those times where you knew, deep in your marrow, that someone was just no good but you didn’t do anything about it? Now that bitch has your favorite dress and matching handbag and constantly forgets to return it. This card blocked or reversed is trying to teach you how to say no!
55
Eight of Swords Bare Meaning To say that you are confused is a bit of an understatement. It’s a bit oppressive around your mental clarity and health. You may find that you are trapped in your own thoughts. You think the same things over and over again. You can liberate yourself from this pattern. First you have to admit that you are stuck in one. Boudoir Did someone say fuzzy cuffs and leather ties? Notice how sexy the Tarot can be? If you aren’t engaging in spicing your sex life up, you may be feeling all tied up in other ways. Possibly a love triangle. Perhaps you feel like you are going to be single forever. Maybe your relationship has you feeling really trapped. Give yourself a change of scenery and some space, to shift your mindframe. Business Stuck between a rock and a hard place are we? You may find yourself unable to make a choice for a big project. No matter how this card is manifesting in your career, you are unable to see an obvious way forward. Don’t do anything until things get much clearer. Sometimes the fog is the universe's way of protecting you. Bank Now is not the time to allow the banks, or anyone for that matter, increase your credit limit or take chances on an investment. Believe me there is more in it for them than you. It is likely that someone is making it sound like it is too good to be true. It probably is. Blocked You could be getting really stuck in victim mentality, as it is safe and known. Moving forward would mean having to change. You are not powerless. This situation may have you feeling that way, but you can reclaim your power right now by realising you are not your thoughts or your situation.
56
Nine of Swords Bare Meaning You really need to look at ways to manage your anxiety and stress, because it is getting a little out of control. Removing yourself from people and situations that trigger you is a good start. Removing the taboo of how you are feeling by talking to someone is another positive step forward. The ultimate bravery is being honest about your needs. Boudoir Why are you worrying about your relationship status or what you lover or ex lover is up too? When we start to feel insecure, we start to do some crazy shit, like going through phones, emails and Facebook accounts. If you really think there is something going on, then say so. If you are prone to being a possessive, jealous partner, maybe it is time to do some self work so you don’t sabotage your relationship. Business There is a good chance that work is stressing you the fuck out and you are either not sleeping, or it is waking you up at night. Huge workloads, issues at work and general tomfuckery is plaguing your mind. That shit is going to make you sick my friend. Don’t try to do it all on your own. You are a superwoman, but you are also human. Bank Money stress and worries are getting you down. While all of the wishful thinking in the world is not going to correct your money troubles over night, facing them and dissolving the shame and guilt around them is certainly going to help. Keeping it all locked up inside is just going to send you spiraling down. Blocked Denial much? Really, how much worse do things need to get before you are honest with yourself. Hell, even if you don’t tell anyone what is going on, the least you can do for your well-being is to be honest with yourself.

Ten of Swords Bare Meaning While there are a lot of swords (aka troubles, people giving you crap, thoughts and just general stuff going on) with this card you can at least breathe a sigh of relief. The worst is over; there are no secrets that are going to blindside you. All of the cards are on the table and you can now heal and move forward. What is done is done. Boudoir It is possible that someone you love just dropped a bombshell that shook you to the very core. It is not always positive or pretty, but it is going to allow you to move forward. If you have recently gone through a breakup, this is a sign that it is done. Don’t hold on to the past. Free yourself and move on. Basically, he/she aint coming back. Business Redundancy, quitting, losing a major client and being fired can all be linked to this card. You have most likely been stressing about it and at least you now know where you stand. Give yourself time to heal from the change and go treat yourself. Bank So, this is not really a card you want to see if you have applied for loans or are waiting to hear about grants, mortgages or extensions on loans. You are being asked to bring as much logic and professional help to the situation as possible to turn things around. Blocked This may be that you are holding on to the past and not wanting to get real with what is going on. It is always your choice, but you are also blocking so much potential doing this. This can also mean making excuses for people and giving them more opportunities to screw you over.

Knight of Swords Bare Meaning Meet the Warrior Bad Bitch. Believe me she knows how to use that sword and will do so if she feels like she needs to.

60
Queen of Swords Bare Meaning You really want this Queen in your corner if you are having to negotiate difficult terrain or if you are looking for fair mediation. The Queen of Swords can see through bullshit a mile away and is going to call people out on it. While she may seem cold on the surface, she is very caring. She just sees many sides to a story and wants what is fair for all involved. Behaviours ●

●
Look at other people's points of view and challenge your own ideals and beliefs. There is always more to learn.

61
King of Swords Bare Meaning This is the Bad Bitch you go to when you need an expert and not just an expert, but the one person who is expert in their field. The King of Swords loves details, wants to know how everything works and has likely dedicated their life to a cause. They do not like to be challenged, however, and may come across as arrogant and aggressive if they are questioned. Behaviours ●
If you have been too narrow minded about a project or in fact declining all social invites, you may want to put your work down and get out and enjoy life a little.
●
Focus, or refocus. You are not going to get anywhere if you are not dedicating your time and energy to what you want in life.
●
Seek out expert advice, mentoring, coaching and peers to level you up in life and business.

Ace of Pentacles Bare Meaning
You are about to be offered something pretty bloody fantastic. All of the hard work you have done is about to pay off. Remember, an offer is just that; you do not have to accept it. While this is a card of success and a very positive card, you always have a choice. Boudoir While things may not be all hot and heavy at the moment in your love life, it doesn’t mean that the world is going to end. Lasting long term love needs time. More importantly, we sometimes have to be practical about our choice in lovers and whether they align with what we really want. Business Be on the lookout for a very profitable project on the horizon; Keep your wonder woman senses high and your ambition mojo high. This is a time for huge opportunities for you. Expect news of prosperity to come your way very soon. Bank Cha-ching. Here comes the money. An increase in your finances is very likely. If you have applied for a new job, a raise or promotion and draw this card, you are looking at positive news very soon. Blocked Contrary to what others may have you think, money is fantastic, but it isn’t everything. You may find that releasing the grip you have on your finances, and how much you have been thinking about them, opens up a whole lot more.
63
Two of Pentacles Bare Meaning As modern women, we are expected to do it all. We are meant to have the perfect lover, an amazing place to live, an overflowing bank account and incredible hair to boot.!. Finding some balance and getting back in the flow is the key to this card. Been too serious lately? Go out dancing. Taken on too much? Prioritise and be really discerning about what you say yes to. Boudoir The Two of Pentacles is asking for you to bring some flexibility and ease into your relationships. Try living in the moment and spice things up with some last minute gifts or activities. Single? You, my lovely one, are asked to have some more fun. There is nothing sexier than a confident woman having fun. Business Time to move your resources around to get the most out of them. Maybe you have the wrong people on your team doing the wrong jobs. If you are the CBB (Chief Bad Bitch) of your business and are still doing basic jobs, you may need an assistant. Discern what is the most effective and prosperous use of your time and then implement it. Bank Just how many credit cards do you have? Are you trying to pay off way too many loans or credit repayments? What about your financial portfolio? Time to simplify what is happening with your cash flow. This could also mean you need to get your taxes in order! Blocked If you try to please everyone, you are going to end up having everyone pissed at you. If you try to do too much, something important is going to slip through the cracks. Dating a few people at the same time? Make sure you leave enough time for yourself. You can’t control everything; stop trying to.
64
Three of Pentacles Bare Meaning You are beginning to see results of your effort and energy, keep going. People are noticing what you have been achieving and the momentum is continuing to build. It may not be a bad idea to get some additional resources or an outsider's perspective, just to make sure you haven’t missed anything too critical. Boudoir You are confident in your relationship and things are going well. Don’t get too comfortable, ensure that you are putting in the work to keep the spark alive and the connection there. Small gestures, putting your phones down at dinner and really talking can make a huge difference. Business If teamwork had a Tarot card, it would be the Three of Pentacles. It is time to branch out and collaborate with people, especially if you are working on a big project. This can be a struggle for some of us who are used to doing everything on our own. Embrace your inner leader to move your business or project forward. Bank The devil is in the details and that is where you can make your money grow or it can trickle away in small amounts. Try tracking your spending for the next week. Then review your list. Are there things that you are spending more than you thought you were? It all adds up. Blocked Do you remember when you were told that if you weren’t able to share your toys with others you would end up with nothing? This applies here. Share your resources and knowledge with those who want to learn. Giving to someone else doesn’t mean it is permanently taken away from you.
65
Four of Pentacles Bare Meaning Are you the kind of Bad Bitch who skimps out when it is someone's birthday or never offers to pick up the bill at dinner? Or that person who looks at the bill when it comes and dissects every single line item? It is time to do some work on why you feel so reluctant to share. If you are worried it won’t come back to you, maybe you are hanging with the wrong people. Boudoir There is a good chance that you are looking for relationship stability and security. You are looking at your future and are worried that your desire may not be met. This can lead to smothering your significant other. If you are single it can mean you are obsessing over your love potentials, or lack thereof. Relax a little. Work on being in the now. Business Maybe you have been eyeing off a new laptop for work, a new qualification or training of some sort. Perhaps someone has come to you with an investment proposal or loan. Now is not the time my friend. Hold your cards close to your chest. Speaking openly about your financial plans for your business is also not a good idea right now. Bank Do not spend too much if you have drawn the Four of Pentacles. You will regret it. Now is not the time for large investments and buying expensive things. This is a warning from your inner guidance system that something is either going to go wrong with it or your money is going to be needed very soon for something more critical. Blocked Well someone has no fear of their next credit card statement. While you are on a spender bender, can you buy me something delicious? Are you are spending too much money or giving way too much of your time and energy? There is an imbalance between what you are giving and what is coming back.
66
Five of Pentacles Bare Meaning If you need help for goodness sake ask for it! There is nothing powerful about being a martyr. You are a strong person, but giving yourself some breathing room by asking for help can make all the difference. You may feel that you are lacking something at the moment. Ask yourself if that belief is really yours or if you are taking on an outsider's judgement of you as truth. Boudoir When things get tough in a relationship you have two choices: break up or remember the love and fight for it. What work are you willing to do for your relationship in order for it to work? How can you bring more kindness and understanding to your partnership? For the single ladies, what you are doing right now isn’t really working? Try something new after a period of alone time. Business A roadblock at work may be right around the corner. If success at work has not been coming your way, seek out mentorship or an outside perspective on how to move forward. If you have hit an all time low in business, this as an opportunity to start again, working smarter and wiser with your money. Bank You know where you are isn’t where you want to be financially. Money worries may be affecting your health and life. Be kind to yourself and see if you can do some work on your belief system surrounding money. Overall, not a positive card money wise, but you can move forward from this. Blocked You are stuck in a rut and probably feeling pretty shitty about it. It is possible that you have been looking to material things to fix your issues or have been blaming others for where you are at in life. This is a call to start to practicing gratitude. Stop looking outside yourself and change the direction of your life.
67
Six of Pentacles Bare Meaning This card is all about the positive impact that you can have on your community. Where are you in that picture? Are you the one who is in a leadership position that is giving or in control of resources all the time? Or are you the one receiving? Maybe it is time for a role reversal to get a different perspective. Boudoir Positive karma and generosity are the keys to your relationship or in finding love. Give your love freely in whatever form that is comfortable for you. Show people how you feel. Hug often. Give and receive, both emotionally and physically. Love all round! Business What can you do in your business to reach and impact more people in a positive way? Whether this is working with a charity, or having your team donate time or money, working with the greater community in mind feels good and is also good karma. If not, what about sharing the resources you do have, like your time and expertise? Bank Loans, extensions and money may be going every which way! On a very practical level, we speak volumes about our values when we spend our money. Are you buying food and clothing from ethical businesses? Vote with your dollars. Blocked Time to take a step back and look at what is going on with you and your money story. If you are the first person in line when there is something free, but then magically disappear when it is your time to give, then we have a problem. Maybe it is time to give back a little, or a lot.
68
Seven of Pentacles Bare Meaning Pause for a moment and take a good look at your life. In this space, give yourself the gift of a life audit. It is also not the right time to make hasty decisions. Carefully consider the next step forward. The energy around your answer is slow and steady. Good things come to those who wait. Boudoir Maybe it is best that you back away a little and see if this relationship is going anywhere. If you are happy where you are, this is a confirmation that in the long term, this relationship is positive. Single Bad Bitches may be frustrated at the lack of potential lovers. Shake it up a little! Do some completely new, fun things to shift that stagnant energy. Business Has what you have been doing so far been yielding the results that you want? Now is the perfect time to assess where your time, money and effort is going. What has the best return on investment and what long term goals are you still backing as a winner? Don’t be afraid if you still have work to do. Longevity should be your goal, as well as some short term wins. Bank This is a very practical card. Planning on your retirement, making sure you are getting the best deals on your loans and credit cards. There are some people who are amazing at this kind of work, if this isn’t you, recruit a friend who is a bad bitch with money to help you. Blocked You aren’t the patient type, are you? You want everything right now and really don’t want to wait or put in the long term work for things to bear fruit. If you allow these feelings to rule your decision making, you are likely to do something rash and ruin your long term options.
69
Eight of Pentacles Bare Meaning Working on what you love every day is going to get you miles ahead. One small step towards your dream every day is 365 steps forward in a calendar year. The more you do something and with passion, the better you become. Do the work that you are passionate about, not for the fame and fortune, but because you love it. Boudoir If you are in a relationship, your partner is in it for the long haul and is not going anywhere. You are working to build a life together and have each others backs. Single Bad Bitches this is a call to work on being the kind of person you would want to date and allowing that energy to attract your perfect match. Fall in love with your amazing self. Business Focusing on the work right now is really important. Block out the noise, close the internet tabs and turn the phone off. Buckle down and do one thing at a time with your full attention. This can also indicate taking on a mentor or apprentice at work, or finding a coach or mentor for yourself to level up your business. Bank If you don’t already, it is time that you look at a savings plan that is simple and is going to help you in the long term. Small financial changes every day will have a very big impact. Bring your lunch instead of buying it. Make your own tea instead of buying a coffee. It wouldn’t hurt to read a book on increasing your personal abundance either. Blocked This card in blocked is all about wanting all of the success without the work. Dreaming of being an overnight success or for something that you do to go viral is not going to get you anywhere. There really is no such thing as overnight success or get rich quick. Someone is trying to scam you if they tell you otherwise.
70
Nine of Pentacles Bare Meaning This is my Beyonce card, can you tell? This is a woman who has worked hard for her dream, never backed down and built herself a life she is proud of. She has steadfast belief in herself and knows what she is capable of. She is empowered to make her own decisions on her life and is reminding you that you do too. Own your power and live your life your way. Boudoir The ultimate card of being self-reliant in love. That doesn’t mean that you don’t desire a partner or don’t need love from someone else. It means that you don’t n eed it, that it is not the be all and end all in your life. Take the time to be comfortable with your own company and enjoy your freedom. If you are in a relationship, time for a girls weekend away, Get some space from your partner. They will be there when you get back. Business Are you working your ass off for someone else and not spending time on improving your life and business? Maybe it is time to become your own boss. Or at least look at asking for a big fat raise or promotion. Know your worth and if it is your dream to be your own boss, what are you waiting for? Bank This is such a positive card when it comes to money and our bank accounts. You are seeing the efforts of your work coming in. Smart investments, smart choices around money and building a solid financial future are all paying off. This is also a sign that making your own money is a good idea. Rely on your ability to take care of yourself. Blocked It is great to have high standards, but you don’t want to have them so high no one is ever going to be able to reach you or connect with you. Perfectionist behaviour and beliefs can also stop you from getting anything done, because it is never good enough. There is beauty in flaws, you have them too!
71
Ten of Pentacles Bare Meaning Traditionally this card stands for getting money from family or an inheritance, and this still holds true. This could also represent what you are passing down from generation to generation. It represents the legacy that you are leaving behind, and the ability to create something secure and beautiful for the ones we love. Boudoir A positive card of people being connected and loved under one roof. Can be an indicator of family, babies, marriage and happiness at home. This can be seen as marrying for money and stability. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as you are doing it consciously. I would also add that you need to ensure the other person is aware of your need for security. Business There are many Bad Bitches who have the opportunity to work in the family business, or do work that is the same or similar to what their parents did. Make sure this is where your own heart lays or you may end up running a family tradition into the ground. This card is a positive omen for achieving your goals. Bank You may have come from a very wealthy family or a family of parents who worked three jobs to stay afloat. Whatever the case may be, identify your family story around money. What did you grow up hearing from your parents? What behaviours did they show around finances? Ditch the harmful and limiting beliefs, and transform them into something positive. Blocked Not all families are close, and not all family members are supportive and deserve your love and time. If this is the case for you, remember your chosen family are the ones that love you for who you are and are not. Spend time nurturing the bonds with people who truly understand and appreciate you.

They will be there long after others have come and gone. They are loyal and loving and create lifelong bonds.

The Wands The Wands are associated with the Element of Fire. They are the tools we use to steady ourselves in time of need. They can be used as weapons and are also the building materials used for supports and ladders to move up and forward. The Wands represent our creativity, spiritual work, energy, business and career. The Wands are also linked to our internal spiritual light.
Ace of Wands Bare Meaning There is a lot of passion in the air and you have a million ideas. Your drive is huge and you want to conquer the world. The ignition has happened and you are right there in the moment with it. Now the hard part follows; doing the work and seeing it through. Use that potential and take action. Boudoir A passionate affair or lover can be very close by. This is an invitation to step into something very powerful. Be careful that you do not get too close to all that heat and get burnt. Desire and lust are different to love and commitment. Now you know, go for it. Business This is the perfect time to be brainstorming and planning the next quarter or year. Open up the floor to everyone in your team to contribute. Delegate to make sure you aren't getting burnt out. A very positive sign of growth and development. Bank A sign that money is going to come very easily, especially when you learn how to manifest it into your life. You are being asked to be empowered by the choices you make around your money. Beat fear away with that Wand! Blocked Holding your ground is fantastic when you feel strongly about something. But refusing to move and change because of ego is a whole different story. You are being given an opportunity to level up. Don’t self-sabotage out of stubbornness.
77
Two of Wands Bare Meaning You are incubating your plans for global Bad Bitch domination and are just about ready to unleash your fierceness and bold power out into the world. This card is all about the incredible power that you wield and how you can create positive change in your life and your greater community. Claim your power and watch how it transforms the rest of your life. Boudoir Meeting someone who is your match can seem like a dream come true until there is a test of wills and the first real fight. Some call this meeting a soul mate; others the twin flame. Either way, there is a lot of energy here. It can blow up, so make sure it is being used in more creative ways. Single ladies, don’t be afraid to get what you are worth! Business This is a good time to look at working with a partner or collaborating with someone who can help elevate your business. Bringing some fresh energy will help move things along. You may have been too close to really see what the next step needs to be. Just make sure you get people to sign non disclosure agreements first. Bank Are you getting the best deal when it comes to your finances, bank accounts, loans and credit cards? Did you even read the fine print? It may feel less than glamorous, but it is worth your time to become engaged with what is happening with your accounts. Make them work for you. Blocked Giving away your power can be so easy. It means that nothing is your fault and the fate of your life is completely up to someone else or some higher power. This is dangerous territory that can lead to martyrdom and chronic victim mentality. Remind yourself of who you are.
78
Three of Wands Bare Meaning Check-in time. You are well on your way and are seeing results in the areas of focus in your life and your motivation is in the right place. Take a moment to step back from the fray of work to see if you are still on the road that you want to be. This is also the card of travel and adventure! Seek out new ways of doing things and don’t be afraid to walk the path less traveled. Boudoir You are standing on the edge of making a decision around your relationship. Are you going to move forward? Move in? Break up? Make up? Go away together? If you have been allowing your relationships to just coast along, this is a reminder to re engage and see where it is going. Single ladies, time to join in on some group activities to meet new people. Business There are a lot of options in front of you and each one has potential. It is now time to write down all of the ideas you have and goals you want to achieve. Then pick one and go after it with everything you have. Don’t lose focus on your ideas and ambitions. Bank Sit back, relax and allow your money to work for you. This is not a time for you to be looking at quick fixes or get rich quick schemes. Investments take time and require patience. Basically, paws off your money for now. Blocked There are way too many people in your face and in your business at the moment. You are holding on to too much energy, asking for too many opinions, and are not being the leader that you know you can be. Remove yourself from the noise and get back to being a badass.
79
Four of Wands Bare Meaning Celebrations around the home and family are linked to the Four of Wands, so put on your best party dress and enjoy. This is the card of stability as well, the four wands often being seen as the four pillars of a house, allowing for the structure to stand strong. Working together can yield positive results. Boudoir This card can often mean wedding bells! If this something you are asking the cards about, it is definitely a positive sign. Other relationship celebrations are also attached to this card: anniversaries, housewarmings and engagements. It may not be yours either. A close friend may have some news soon. Business Rally the troops at work and come together in order to aim higher. Go after those dream clients. Raise your goals and play bigger. This card is very much connected to celebration. Acknowledge those people who work hard. If you have been hating your job, this is a call to go and look for another one. Bank This can mean that there are going to be some big loans in the future with long reaching repayments. New cars, houses, investments in businesses, or the holiday of a lifetime can see you entering into a large loan agreement with the bank. A very positive sign if you are looking to buy or sell a house. Blocked This card can represent you feeling disconnected and isolated from the people around you. Maybe you are the only single one left in your group of friends and it is getting you down. Or you just received the seventh wedding invite and you are all weddinged out. Time for some self care. Create a sanctuary within your own home and recharge your energy.
80
Five of Wands Bare Meaning There is no doubt you have a mighty challenge before you. There are usually two responses to being challenged. You can say, “no thank you”, disengage and stay in your comfort zone. Or you can put on your Wonder Woman underoos and level up. If you are being faced with this challenge, you are more than ready. Believe in yourself. Boudoir Your relationship is becoming hard work and you are not quite sure the energy and time that you are putting in is being valued or reciprocated. It is terribly frustrating and can lead to being passive aggressive or sabotaging your relationship. In a relaxed, calm manner talk to your other half. If the challenges still persist, maybe getting an outside mediator will help. Business Someone may be coming after your clients, trying to steal your ideas and generally making you feel like you are constantly on the backfoot. Don’t let the chaos fool you into playing their game. Recognize that that is what is going on; someone is trying to play you. Then carry on with integrity. You are clearly doing something right. Bank Buckle down for some challenging financial times ahead. Unexpected expenses, being audited and more money going out than coming in, is likely what will manifest with this card. The good news is these things don’t last for long. Stay as grounded as you can and try not to panic. Blocked We all have different ways of looking at things. Are you being a little too narrow minded or unwilling to listen or change? Broaden your horizons when it comes to ideas and how to tackle problems. Don’t let your ego rule your decisions. You may be passing up on something incredible.
81
Six of Wands Bare Meaning This is the ‘shit yes, I did it’ card in the Tarot. A very positive card when asking about the success of anything. A confirmation and visual affirmation that you have totally got this. With some self belief, good use of your resources, energy and work, you will be on top of the world. Boudoir You are in a pretty amazing place. Your plans and visions for your relationship and future are aligned, and things are going well. This doesn’t magically happen. There is a good chance you have been working hard at your relationship. The fantastic news here is that the work is really worth it. Single ladies, ask that person out. Take the next step. You win no matter what happens. Business You are very likely going to land that dream client and things are going very well. Planning for success is not an accident. Take some time to look at your business. Are you structured to handle more orders or work? How will you manage your growth? Do you need new systems to support it or more staff? Bank I often see this card come up for people when they are going to have a little bit of a financial windfall, or some unexpected money is going to come in. While this card is a success card, don’t think you can just sit back and have money fall from the sky. You still have to do the work. Keep the momentum going. Blocked If can be so frustrating when you look around and everyone seems to be living the high life and living the dream. First of all, remember that is usually an illusion. We filter everything from the words we say, to the pictures we put up on social media. Secondly, it doesn’t mean you are losing, because life is not a competitive sport. Celebrate your own wins.

Seven of Wands Bare Meaning You have your feet well planted on the ground and can see what is coming from a mile off. You believe in what you are doing and what you are willing to defend in your life. You have the high ground and everything you need to succeed. Just believe in yourself and be steadfast. Boudoir There is a very good chance that there is something of a stand off in your relationship, with both of you are in defensive positions, unwilling to back down or move. Maybe there is silent treatments going on, or withholding of sex or affection. Either way, you are better than this behaviour. It isn’t yielding anything positive. Swallow your pride and mend the divide. Business Your inbox is over loaded with emails and things are starting to slip through the cracks. You can barely keep up with the workload in front of you and are running on coffee and adrenaline. If this sounds like you, keep your head in the game, focus on one thing at a time and block out distractions. You have totally got this. Bank Protect your money. Now I don’t say this to have you become paranoid. Look at what you are doing to protect yourself financially and have a stable income. It is not the time to lend out money to people. If you do, chances are that you won’t see it again. Blocked Lack of preparation is going to be your undoing. Flying by the seat of your pants may have gotten you this far, but now you are reaching rockier terrain and need to look at things from a more technical point of view. Bring in an expert if you need to. Set yourself up to succeed.

Eight of Wands Bare Meaning Whatever you asked the cards about, believe it is either going to come to you quickly, or is going to move away from you quickly. The Eight of Wands is the card of swift movement and travel. The time to act is now. Everything is aligned for you to move forward. A universal sign to go for it. Boudoir Do you feel that your relationship is moving too quickly or are you rushing into bed with someone because you want them to like you? Intention is everything when things are moving fast. If you want to do the horizontal tango because it feels great and you are two (or three) consenting adults then awesome. But if you are trying to move quickly to lock someone down into commitment, it is likely going to backfire. Business Act now. Move now. Take that new job or promotion. Sign that dotted line (read the contract first) and work with that new client. Launch that product. Get out of your own way with the need for perfection and over preparation. If you don’t act you don’t win. Bank Treat yourself! You have been working hard and deserve something nice for yourself. This is especially aligned to spending money on travel and experiencing something new. Don’t bankrupt yourself in the process, but make sure you are not forgetting to spend money on yourself every now and then. Blocked Fear is a tricky bitch. It can really shrink your ability to act. If you are feeling anxious and don’t want to do much, or are afraid to take the next step forward in your career, relationship or life in general, allow some time for a brief delay and give yourself some grace. The energy will move soon.

Nine of Wands Bare Meaning You are nearly there. Don’t give up now. It has been a hard road and progress may have been slow and steady, but you are almost at the top of your own personal mountain. Dig deep into the reserves of your energy, belief and motivation. Remind yourself of the reasons you even started and persevere. You are closer to your goals than you know. Boudoir If there are any unresolved issues from past relationships that are starting to cause problems in your new one, this is a call from your intuition that you need to clear them out before they fall on top of you. There is no weakness in allowing someone to know you are struggling. Find a safe space to heal, release past hurt, and forgive yourself and others. Business You may feel as though you have hit a wall and can not continue doing what you have been doing so far. Time for a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis in your career or businesses. Continuing on is great as long as you are being smart about it. Put some strategies in place and find that wall’s weakness. Bank Slowly, slowly now. Proceed with caution. If something doesn’t feel right when it comes to purchasing or spending, don’t do it. Evaluate if it is something you really need. Save as much as you can instead of spending. Blocked You may find that by allowing things to go with the flow too much, you relinquish all of your control and power. It is all about balance. Know when it is time to sit back and let what will be, be. Take the reigns back and drive forward. Having an ‘oh well fuck it’ attitude is good, but you don’t want to throw something away that you really want.
85
Ten of Wands Bare Meaning It looks like someone has taken on too much. You have over committed and are now really sinking under the weight of all of the obligations in your life. Ask yourself, is this really my load to bear? Am I taking on someone else's responsibilities or expectations of me? Remember you have a choice. Boudoir Okay, there is an imbalance going on here. Someone is doing all of the work in this relationship and someone else is coasting. You are not your partner's mother. Expectations are flying all over the place and it is causing misery. Talk it out like you would at work. Nip this in the bud as quickly as possible. They can do their own damn laundry. Business I know you want to do everything yourself, but you are going to have to cull down on your projects. Believe me about this, because this is something I have to say to myself all the time. Delegate where you can. Work smarter, not harder. Give yourself some breathing room. Bank It may be time to look at how you can lighten the load with your financial responsibilities. Do a budget and speak to a qualified finance guru. If you haven’t told anyone or even admitted it to yourself that you are struggling in this area, this is a call to get real and remove the shame around it. It will eventually come out and is likely going to eat away at you from the inside anyway. Blocked I hope you enjoy your role as the martyr; you know it doesn’t end well for most martyrs, right? Being likeable is one thing; being a doormat is something else. Stand up for yourself. You will see who your true friends are when you start to say no.
