Today’s cards: Young Coin, Eight of Staffs, & The Rider.

Start the work week off with a little planning for what lies ahead. Don’t just write down what is supposed to happen, also write down alternatives for when everything that isn’t supposed to happen, does. It will be on you to build and maintain the momentum once everything kicks off. Don’t expect your best laid plans to go exactly the way you wrote them. Use the momentum you have curated to flow around the obstacles that are avoidable and to skip over the ones that aren’t. In the end, you likely won’t complete all of your tasks, but you will have made progress, which is a lot better than how you started out.


The Dust II Onyx tarot deck is Courtney Alexander’s homage to her Black heritage and to the Black matriarchs and leaders of her communities. The deck is also a love offering to the LGBTQIA+ community and is presented as a tool for every person within the African diaspora to feel a connection to without prejudice.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck.

All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.
