Weekly Tarot Energy: November 17 2025

Before I dive into this week’s usual past… present… future… I wanted to write something a little different. Today felt like one of those days where the cards needed to answer a very specific question… something about how to move through sadness, frustration, or that sticky emotional heaviness that sits in your body when something knocks you off your centre. I wanted to understand what to let go of, what’s weighing me down, and how to learn from it instead of just reacting.

And if we haven’t met yet… hi. I’m Brittany. I started this little youaremagic.ca project as a fun side thing with zero pressure attached. Maybe someday it turns into something that actually makes money, who knows… for now it’s just a creative outlet that feels like mine. (Although yes, it does cost me money to run ads to get you onto this list, so there’s that…)

By day, I’m a website designer… and a mom of four. And as much as I love my business, I really need something that lets me be creative without the expectations and deadlines that always come with client work.

The last few months have been… a lot. If I’m being honest, I’ve been hovering in borderline overwhelm since the spring. Summer is when I feel most alive (I HATE the cold), and even though I made some progress, somehow I stalled out again. Self-sabotage? Oh yeah… we’re on a first-name basis.

I make excuses when I don’t focus… sometimes it’s my ADHD, but it can’t always be the scapegoat. And somehow, no matter how many incredible projects I complete for clients, it only takes one unhappy (or let’s be real, unreasonably demanding) client to derail my entire day.

You probably know the feeling. Something lands in your inbox and suddenly you’re backed into a corner defending your process, your work, your timeline… even when the timeline was designed to support them. Today I got one of those emails, and I let it get to me. Like… tears-in-my-eyes-most-of-the-day level. Which is kind of silly, because once I worked through everything they asked, two things became painfully clear:

1. My boundaries were… well, 💩
   Of course it’s taking longer. What started as a 10-item build has turned into fourteen website pages, four products, an email funnel, and branding work. And we did it in 6–7 weeks — something most agencies would stretch over half a year. But because I didn’t set strong expectations up front… yeah, that part’s on me.

2. Responding reactively helps no one
   What I should be doing is empowering my team to be the first line of communication so I’m not getting yanked out of my creative flow every time someone spirals.

I saw a colleague mention Mercury retrograde today… not in the “everything is broken” kind of way, but in the “what’s meant to surface, surfaces” kind of way. And that’s exactly how it feels. Not like chaos… but like a breaking point. A release. A goodbye to weak boundaries and a step toward processes and support that actually take care of me.

So today I asked the cards for confirmation (for me and for you guys on this email list) about what we need to know to let go, move through, or rise out of whatever emotional heaviness we’re sitting in. I didn’t want something vague. I wanted something honest. And I hope sharing this very personal moment helps you feel a little less alone in whatever you're navigating too.

If it resonates, reply and tell me. I really do read every single email that comes back.

Oh but if you're going to be like the last person that left me some unhinged feedback (guys she unsubscribed because she said she hated me colour choices on the emails 🤣)... then... maybe don't reply, just unsubscribe LOL

Ok on to the cards. This week I am pulling from "Crow Tarot" 👇

This Week’s Spread

Past: Knight of Pentacles
Present: Six of Swords
Future: The Hanged Man

Knight of Pentacles (Past)

This is the version of you that’s been quietly holding everything together… even when things felt chaotic or heavy. It’s the steady worker, the reliable one, the person who keeps showing up for clients, kids, deadlines, life (often without stopping to recognize how much you actually carry).

It’s also the part of you that’s been running on routine and responsibility for so long that you didn’t notice when the load became too much. This Knight is grounded… but also tired. And today’s emotional wobble? It’s the signal that the version of you who just “pushes through” might not be sustainable anymore.

Six of Swords (Present)

Right now, you’re in the middle of a necessary transition… the kind you don’t get to skip. This is the moment when everything that’s been simmering beneath the surface rises up and demands a shift. The overwhelm, the tears, the frustration, none of it is random. It’s your nervous system saying:

“The old way of doing this isn’t going to work anymore.”

This is the redirect.
The emotional detox.
The “we’re not doing this to ourselves again” turning point.

It’s uncomfortable, but it’s purposeful. You’re being moved toward calmer waters, clearer thinking, stronger boundaries, and more support... even if it feels messy getting there.

The Hanged Man (Future)

This card is your invitation to pause before you rebuild. Not to freeze… but to see differently. The wisdom here comes from slowing down enough to catch your own patterns before you fall back into them.

It’s that sense of, “Okay… if the way I’ve been doing things is burning me out, how do I approach this differently?”
It’s perspective.
It’s clarity.
It’s choosing a new way of responding to moments like today.

It’s your reminder that you don’t have to muscle through every hard thing. Sometimes the most powerful move is to stop, breathe, and let a new approach reveal itself.

Message for the Week

This week is about recognizing where you’ve been running on grit alone… and allowing yourself to transition into a season of better boundaries, clearer expectations, and actual support. Your work ethic is not the problem. Your capacity is simply asking to be honoured.

You don’t have to react.
You don’t have to carry everything.
You don’t have to do it the old way.

A slower perspective is coming, and it’s going to serve you better than pushing through ever did.
