✦ June 2025 Energy Reading: Let the Dead Shit Lie ✦

I didn’t pull these cards for myself. I had already done a reading for myself…and the vibe was very similar. Very. Similar.

I asked Spirit about the collective energy for June 2025, laid out the cards, and then sat there blinking because—damn—it felt real personal, real fast.

But the funny thing is, I don’t think I’m the only one who’s going to feel that way. I have a hunch this spread is going to hit a whole lot of us right in that not-so-sweet spot between ugh and oh shit, that’s true.

The first card that came out was the Knight of Pentacles—which, if you’ve ever worked a job you hated just to keep the lights on, you already know this dude. He’s not flashy. He’s not impulsive. He just shows up, day after day, doing what needs to be done. It’s the long game. The grind. The deep, not-so-sexy discipline of staying in the process, even when there’s no immediate reward. And I know a lot of us have been in that space lately—tending the soil, making steady progress that nobody else sees.

Then came the Ten of Swords, and oof. This card has one job, to confirm what you already knew but didn’t want to admit. That thing you’ve been holding on to? It's dead. And I don’t say that to be dramatic—it’s just done. A chapter’s closing, and it’s not one you can revise or rewrite. It’s not about failure, either. It’s about release. That deep exhale when you realize you don’t have to keep dragging the story behind you anymore. It’s over. You can rest now.

Of course, just to spice things up, the Five of Wands showed up too. This card says: there’s too many cooks in your mental kitchen. Competing desires. Unspoken tension. That low-key burnout from trying to be a team player in a game you didn’t even want to play. Or it could be external conflict. Maybe it’s the Teams chat that suddenly feels like a debate club you never signed up for.
Maybe it’s your partner snapping at you over something minor, but it feels like the last straw in a long string of “WTF was that?” moments. Maybe your coworker is breathing too loud again, and you’re two emails away from saying “fuck this!” altogether.

Or maybe it’s just the general vibe shift—people projecting, tensions simmering, everyone just a little more fried than usual.

But here’s your permission slip: You don’t have to engage in every invitation to chaos. Especially not this month.

Here’s where it gets super interesting. The two archetype cards that came through were The Gambler and The Walker. Which—yeah. Basically Spirit said, “You ready to take that leap or nah?” The Gambler reminds us that risk is part of growth. That sometimes we have to take the chance, even if we’ve been burned before. And The Walker? She doesn’t wait for a map. She just starts walking. One foot in front of the other, even though she has no idea where it’s all leading. There's a quiet power in trusting the journey—even if you're still trembling and side-eyeing it the whole time.

The last card was #63 Parenting. And not just the literal kind, though if you’re raising humans, this may hit double. This card felt more like a check-in on how we’re parenting ourselves. How we’re caring for the parts of us that feel vulnerable, or tired, or lost. Are we being patient with our own process? Are we giving ourselves the same grace we try to extend to everyone else? Or are we stuck in a loop of caretaking and over-functioning, where we carry people who could carry themselves but choose not to?

June feels like a turning point. Not the kind with fireworks or fanfare. More like that quiet click when the lock finally opens. You’ve been doing the work. You’re letting go of things that aren’t yours to keep. And yeah, the path ahead might be uncertain—but that’s not actually a problem. That’s the point.

So if this month feels like an ending, it is. If it feels like a beginning, it is. If it feels like both at the same fucking time—you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

See you on Monday. But for now, go easy on yourself.
And maybe let the dead shit lie.
