The Architect’s Spell:

Build It, Bloom It, Be It

Happy Thursday, May 22, 2025, sweet soul!

Today’s energy is like a cosmic smoothie, blended with passion, love, purpose, and a sprinkle of dazzling glitter.

Mars is working behind the scenes, not to stir chaos (for once!), but to get your dreams moving. Not in a crash through the wall way, but more like, “let’s pack the car and head to the next level.”

Let’s dive into the magic, because this day? It’s got glow up written all over it.

Mars Vibes:

Seven of Pentacles (aka The Glow-Up Gardener).

When I asked the Tarot what Mars had to say, the Seven of Pentacles popped out like, “Here’s your cosmic update!”

And the message?

Good things are growing. You’ve been planting, showing up, doing the work. And now? Things are starting to move. This may manifest in a few different ways for my collective. Such as career momentum, love leveling up, honestly the manifestation list is finally blooming in various ways.

You’re in a powerful growth phase, not just waiting, but waking up. This is a moment of clear seeing, inner alignment, and rising into your next level. You’re not just planting seeds…you’re noticing the first blooms. Stay present. The glow up is real. Trust your intuition, commit to the process, and know that a positive shift is already unfolding.

Think slow magic. Progress, not pressure.
You’re building something real, beautiful, and lasting.
Stay focused, stay grounded, and yes...treat yourself along the way.
Moving house? Moving hearts? Moving up? All possible. If you're not making a permanent move you may decide to go camping, on a short vay-cay, or stay at a friend's house soon.

This card is the universe saying: “I see you. It’s working. Keep watering your dreams.”

The Day’s Main Energy: Strength (aka Power in Pastel)

Next, the Strength card waltzes in like a confident friend who reminds you just how powerful you really are.

This is the day to stay kind, stay calm, and keep shining. You don’t need to push. You just need to trust your own resilience. This is patient power. Peaceful persistence. The kind that gets results and keeps your edges soft.

Inner strength = your quiet superpower.
Big wins through grace, not grit.
You’re more persuasive and powerful than you think.
Someone (or something) may show up to help you over the finish line.
Rare Spy of the Divine.
Unlock the secrets of reality.
You are a rare spirit.
Intuitive knowledge within.

You are not just strong…you are divinely guided and spiritually equipped. The strength you’re being asked to access isn’t about brute force or resilience alone; it’s about sacred inner alignment, remembering who you truly are, and using that truth as your anchor.

Your calm, your patience, your power? It’s coming from your connection to the divine.
You’re part of something bigger, an “alliance of the Divine”, and you’re here to live out a purpose, not just endure challenges.
Strength now means holding your light without shrinking, using your High Priestess level intuition to guide your next moves.

You are powerful because you are connected.

You don’t need to prove your strength, it’s encoded in your spirit. This card reminds you that your courage, grace, and calm under pressure come from knowing you’re a chosen vessel of deep, intuitive wisdom. Stay grounded in that truth, and you’ll always move from power.

The Advice:

The Empress (aka Radiate and Receive)

The Empress...Queen of love, abundance, creativity, and full on Goddess vibes.

Today, nurture what you want to grow. Love it. Feed it. Wrap it in sunshine. That could be your business, your relationship, your art, or yourself.

Your softness is a strength, not a weakness. Embrace it.

The Empress says, “What you tend to, flourishes.”

You’re embodying Empress energy in the most delightfully magnetic way. You’re not just nurturing and creative, but you’re radiating joy, comfort, and presence that makes people want to be close to you.

You’re giving off a healing, attractive aura, people feel safe, seen, and uplifted around you.
Your authentic presence is your power…you don’t have to do anything extra. Just being you is enough.
This also speaks to romantic or community connections. You may be drawing in new love, supportive friendships, or simply more good people.

You’re The Empress in full bloom. Creative, nurturing, and wildly magnetic.

People are drawn to your energy because it’s healing, high vibe, and real. Your joy and presence are your magic. Keep nurturing yourself, and the love (in all forms) will continue to flow to you.

Little things you can do:

Wear something that makes you feel magical.
Surround yourself with beauty (flowers, colors, cozy vibes).
Lean into love in all forms.

In Short:

You’re in Bloom
