Amber the Alchemist pulls a tarot and an oracle card just for you
You say: “I don’t have time for this!” But Spirit begs to differ! The two of pentacles hints at an imbalance in how you manage your time and energy. This week calls for self-investigation: “What am I doing too much of? What am I doing not enough of?”

Pay close attention to the promises you make, and do your best to honor them. Showing up for our commitments to others is important, but what about the promises you make with yourself?
Accept that you might’ve bitten off more than you can chew. Be realistic with what you’re able to take on, and create a balance in your life that feels…
