Element:
Earth
Meaning:
Upright: Organization is the key to your success. Organization must remain your top priority. Priority should not be based on "the level of importance" but on accessibility and availability. Keep yourself on the right track by checking your work. Declutter your space. A clean environment harnesses a pure mind and keen execution.
Reversed: You are out of order. Chaos begets chaos. You desperately need to clarify your goals, visions, and strategies. You are feeling overwhelmed because your affairs are not in order. Declutter your space. Your external environment is a reflection of your internal environment.

Element:
Earth
Meaning:
Upright: Your ancestors are calling you toward exploration. Don’t be scared! Don’t be afraid to step outside the city limits, confidently journeying out into unfamiliar places. There is so much waiting outside your familiar environment, and opportunities await you when you do. Check your vision for yourself, and understand that you have to know where you’re going to get to it! Figure out where, and let your Ancestors help you with how!
Reversed: You are imbued with stagnation. Nothing is moving because you aren’t. You lack a plan; you have no clear vision, just hoping that the sky will open up for you without effort. There is always more to see as it pertains to your life circumstance. You will never find another way around it if you don’t believe there is. Get a vision, and ask a friend; locking yourself away will not help you.
DO Vision Boards, maps, house hunting, vacations, sightseeing, car rides, daydreaming, goal setting.

Element:
Fire
Meaning:
Upright: Your ancestors encourage you to use your voice and authority to stand up for yourself! You shouldn’t feel bad for demanding your respect. Closed mouths don’t get fed, nor can they take medicine to be healed—your thoughts, feelings, and safety matter. You are not wrong for saying what needs to be displayed when you need to say it. Deal with the situation head-on because the longer you wait, the worse it gets. Holding in the truth will make you sick with a lie.
Reversed: CALM DOWN! Your emotions are rampant, and your message is lost in your delivery. Honesty without compassion is brutality. There is a better way to communicate your feelings without burning everything down. When we operate from anger, our attacks are often misguided. Your rage points to a deeper issue that has nothing to do with what’s on the surface.
DO: Open dialogues. Direct communication. No sugar coating. Receipts and proof. Calling a spade, a spade! Therapy. Calming music playlist!

Meaning:
Upright: The Ancestors want you to remain “in your bag”! Keep focusing on making financially sound moves and staying current on bills, and paying your debts before you go on a shopping spree. Remember to keep stability and the future in sight and mind. You may also be pushed to start a business and take steps toward financial freedom! Look up some financial literacy videos, and understand your credit more; the Ancestors are ready for you to make some moves!
Reversed: Hand over your credit card! NOW! You are overspending. Subtracting and not adding anything! You have lost sight of your financial goals, and it is critical that you put your glasses on! This may also indicate financial disasters in your future, so saving your money is more important than ever! Get your budget together, and cancel some subscriptions; it’s time to lock down.

Element(s):
Water
Meaning:
Upright: The Ancestors want you to lean into self-care and consideration. How can you mother yourself? The Ancestors want you to stop being so hard on yourself and invite the energy of compassion. It would be best to acknowledge your feelings in a safe and supportive environment and connect with people who can support you. If you don't have anyone to help you in that way, create a space for yourself and be the mother you wish you had. Your Ancestors urge you to alleviate some pressure off of yourself and allow them to do some heavy lifting. Stressing never improves a situation; invite the energy of ease and healing.
Reversed: You are doing everything for others and leaving your cup dry! The universal law of reciprocity is fundamental and must be honored. Overgiving and over-extending yourself will not make others love or treat you better. It will only wear you down and slip you into an energy of self-negligence. This also may be pointing to a Mother Wound you must address. How you hold your mother's energy in your body makes a difference. New perspectives and boundaries are required.
DO: Warm Baths, home-cooked meals, hugs, gentle conversation, releasing tears, soft, white, and blue fabrics.

AUNT HONEY represents the ancestors in your lineage that upheld justice and fairness to the highest degree. These ancestors would have been activists, politicians, lawyers, advocates, and ultimately individuals who hated seeing anyone being done wrong.
Element(s):
Earth
Meaning:
Upright: The Ancestors want you to remain on the right side of your circumstances. It seems more manageable for you to do a justified wrong to alleviate your feelings; however, when justice is served, you need to be righteous. Karma checks don’t bounce, and everyone working gets paid—no need to worry about that. Revenge appears to be the best route, but hate never begets peace. Remember to do what you can and leave the rest to The Spirit. The righteous will not be forsaken.
Reversed: You need better judgment. You have allowed your emotions to cloud your judgment and are taking the gavel away from The Spirit. You are not the judge, jury, or executioner; step down from the bench because you have not mastered the art of impartiality. Being impartial contains the ability to remove emotions and operate simply off of facts. Surrender to the Divine immediately.
DO Surender, minding your business, facts vs. fiction, listening to understand, realignment, release.

Reversed: You are limiting your creative ability out of fear of failure and rejection. You are also restricting your growth and progress; thus, your life is meeting stagnation.

Reversed: Your protection game needs to improve! You have not instituted the appropriate boundaries to keep your energy safe. A protection working is required!

Element(s):
Air
Meaning:
Upright: You are encouraged to discover and maintain a balance. Your ancestors are calling you to examine your energy towards work and play, rest and wake, indulgence and fasting, Femininity and Masculinity. The Universal law of reciprocity emphasizes a need for an equal distribution of energy. Balance must remain a priority.
Reversed: Your scales are not balanced. You are over-giving, over-committing, and over-extending yourself. You are also operating in either toxic Masculinity or toxic Femininity. From the spiritual perspective, Masculinity and Femininity have nothing to do with sex or gender. All people have both energies operating within them regardless of how they identify. If you are toxically feminine, you are at a standstill, stagnant, energetically paralyzed, consumed, and being walked all over. If you are toxically masculine, you are overtly aggressive, disregarding wisdom, acting recklessly, and dishonoring yourself by dishonoring others. You seek to balance the energy in your mind, body, and spirit.
DO: re-organization, scheduling yourself in, alarms and timers, Do Not Disturb, self-checks, centering exercises.

Element(s):
Fire
Meaning:
Upright: You need to enjoy yourself! Have fun! Go out, have some drinks, and have a good time. There is a fun and flavorful side of you that you need to let shine. We often deny ourselves fun under the guise of adulting and responsibilities. All work and no play make Johnny a resentful person. Find ways for you to do what you love to do! Take a risk; you will be just fine!
Reversed: You are overindulging in entertainment and pleasure to the point of self-sabotage and poisoning. You are using your satisfaction to suppress your emotions. You cannot smoke, have sex, or drink your traumas away; they will always catch up to you and overtake you. What are you hiding from? What are you trying to forget? You cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge. The very thing you are running from is precisely what you need to elevate.
DO responsible fun, laughing out loud, comedy clubs, a night on the town, friends, and games!

Remember, perspective matters and determines whether or not you keep your peace. Always elevate above the negative by remembering a higher purpose for every situation and circumstance. It is your job to seek clarity and understanding in all things. Peace must remain your priority.
Reversed: Your perspective is far too low; your energy, mood, aspirations, and emotions indicate that. You are in perpetual worry, concerned about the future, distressed by the past, and have no sense of the present. It would help if you got your mind right. Realign yourself. Have you sat with your ancestors? Do you have an Ancestor Altar? Do you have a daily spiritual practice? Are you consistent? If the answer is no, you have some severe realigning. Peace is right there in front of you, but diligence must precede.
DO stillness, journaling, meditation, yoga, focusing on the now, different perspectives, white fabrics, observation.
