Hi! Is it ok if I ask tarot reading for Hawayek/Baker? Please ignore this message if you think I cross the line. Thank you.

i did a quick reading- one card for each question, with a shadow card for the energy under the surface

this is only the energy of the moment, could be different tomorrow

Jean-Luc's energy: Nine of Cups (Lovers) reflecting on what he's achieved, maybe how fulfilled would he be if this were the end of a chapter? because of choices that they need to make - 9 of cups is about his experience, but it's being informed by what's going on with the two of them

Katilin's energy: Seven of Cups (Five of Swords) looking at multiple paths or options, feeling conflicted and stressed about what to do

The energy between them: Four of Wands (Nine of Pentacles) It's supportive - a connection and stability they've built together and earned with each other over time

The energy of their career: Eight of Wands (6 of Wands) Something is shifting - looking for clarity about a complex situation, wanting to go forward in a way they can feel proud of

Yes/no questions are very unreliable, so I don't put a lot of stock in this, but I did ask- are they going to Worlds: Queen of Swords reversed (Four of Cups) this feels undecided - not relying on logic but going from their gut instinct, not wanting to miss the opportunity, not wanting to regret. seems like there are reasons not to go, but they haven't made up their minds

interesting in hindsight, knowing that they were about to split - Evelyn moving on after loss, and Trennt disappointed but looking ahead to his next steps - the cards always make sense, just not in the context i thought

#1: Evelyn Walsh - 5 of Swords reversed: moving on after loss- emotionally still affected by last season (the whole Vanessa and Eric getting the Olympic spot)? #3: Trennt Michaud - 9 of Cups reversed: some disappointment here too (about last season?) but focusing on what they want to achieve #2: energy between them - 8 of Pentacles reversed: figuring out how to change what wasn’t working #4: programs and work - Wheel of Fortune: heading in a good direction- feels like a turning point creatively #5: trajectory and momentum - 10 of Cups: good sign of positive support and momentum #6: outcome - King of Wands reversed with King of Pentacles reversed as the underlying energy: so much depends on their level of confidence - a lot of strength and potential for success are right there, but they need to feel secure and stable within themselves to access it 

such a liar lol

#1: Diana Davis - 10 of Swords reversed: carrying a heavy weight but keeping it private, getting over being or feeling hurt

#3: Gleb Smolkin - 8 of Wands reversed: things up in the air, delays, unease about things not coming through or happening too slowly

#2 energy between them - 9 of Pentacles: putting in effort for the long haul,  wanting independence

#4: programs and work - 5 of Swords reversed: trying to make the best of a bad situation with compromise, cutting losses and moving on

#5: trajectory and momentum- 4 of Wands: they have a lot of support from some community or network (her mother’s?) that’s giving them a stable base to grow on

#bonus: new environment and coaches/team- 9 of Cups reversed: some doubts- is this what we wanted? but keeping up appearances

#6 outcome - Knight of Wands with Strength as underlying energy: charging ahead, decisively focused

Guess the baby skater ☺️

That first paragraph sounds like something Tessa might say today, down to the vocabulary, some of the second more vulnerable than she tends to be

Meryl Davis in 2018, talking about struggling after finishing competitive skating in 2014, from Finding New Purpose After Life as an Olympian

I didn’t question whether Meryl was still struggling in 2018 when I first read this, but that “I desperately want” feels like a red flag

Guess the baby skater ☺️

#1: Madison Chock - 9 of Wands reversed: struggling to get completely into working mode, maybe still in a summer lull or tired from last season plus tour

#3: Evan Bates - 2 of Swords reversed: trying to decide between two directions, waiting for more information

#2: energy between them - Magician: creative and resourceful

#4: programs and work - King of Wands reversed and 5 of Pentacles: not yet coalescing, though-  something is lacking or unfocused still at this stage, or not on the same page as their team

#5: momentum and trajectory - High Priestess: strong sense that they know what they need to do, they believe in themselves

#6: outcome - Knight of Wands reversed with 9 of Pentacles as the underlying energy: they need to be careful not to get ahead of themselves in order to benefit from all their experience and hard work. being impatient or cocky will lead to disappointment

#1: Caroline Green- 5 of Swords: a no win situation, people you thought you could count on turning their backs on you, feeling defeated

#3: Michael Parsons- High Priestess: listening to his intuition and rising above to figure what's right for him and what they need

#2: energy between them- Death reversed: knowing they need change but not sure how, upset over loss (whether it’s losing their skating home or their sense of being the priority at that rink?)

#4: programs and work- Knight of Swords reversed: severing ties, retreating and feeling battered after a conflict

#5: trajectory/momentum: Hanged Man reversed: some stuckness about a situation no longer serving them, feeling like their momentum was blocked or limited

#bonus: energy with their team and rink- 8 of Cups reversed, clarified with King of Wands reversed: stagnation, a choice between staying in a bad situation or walking away- people at cross purposes with you, ineffective leadership

#6: outcome- Ace of Swords with Page of Swords reversed as the underlying energy: eventually a new start and new vision, cutting through to get some clarity about what's ahead. underneath, though- some communication issues, delays and messiness

#1 Christina Carreira - 6 of Swords: moving towards a goal with determination, navigating a rocky time

#3 Anthony Ponomarenko - 6 of Wands reversed: not feeling ready for the spotlight yet

#2 energy between them - Knight of Pentacles: Scott Moir often comes up as this card. so his presence is strong here. Or, if it’s not him, then slow and steady hard work

#4 programs and work- Page of Swords reversed: some communication issues or lack of clarity - maybe not getting the new programs right just yet. minor delays and messiness

#5 trajectory and momentum - 9 of Pentacles: good energy of development, steady and consistent work over time

#6 outcome - 8 of Cups with 7 of Pentacles reversed as the underlying energy: oof, some disappointments and setbacks, possibility of needing to walk away from a situation not working out

Guess the baby skaters ☺️

#1: Lilah Fear- 4 of Pentacles: a defensive or cautious energy, a little reluctant to leave her comfort zone - are they pushing into new areas with their programs for this season?

#3: Lewis Gibson- Magician reversed: some frustration around not being able to see results the way he wants just yet

#2: energy between them- Empress reversed: creative block

#4: work and progress - 9 of Wands: pushing through, battling challenges

#5: trajectory and momentum - 10 of Wands: feeling the weight of expectations, maybe burning out a bit and needing a break at the moment

#6: outcome - 3 of Cups with Justice as the underlying energy: celebrations and collaboration - a positive sign that they have a good team around them and that they’re on track for success this season if they can continue to work through their creative challenges
