January 16th: Awakening Into Love /Tower Reversed & the Ace of Cups (eps. 173)

Hello beautiful people. It’s me, Kirsten, and this is the It’s Giving Mystical podcast—your energetic weather report for the week ahead.We’re halfway through January now, which means it’s time for a gentle but honest check-in. How are the Magician and Justice moving through your life? Where do you feel momentum—and where do things feel out of sync? This week invites you back to your breath, your intentions, and what you are truly devoted to calling in during this Wheel of Fortune year.We’re also reflecting on last week’s King of Swords energy. What conversations were stirred? What words were spoken—to you, by you, and within you? Some of these exchanges may have healed. Some may have triggered. All of them mattered. Language is shaping reality right now, so notice how you’re speaking to yourself and the world.The cards guiding us this week are The Tower (reversed) and the Ace of Cups—a powerful, luminous pairing.The Tower reminds us that structures—both inner and outer—can only hold so much energy before they must change. But in reverse, this doesn’t feel like collapse. It feels like a gentle flooding, a release of blocked flow, an opening that allows life back into places that have been dry or constricted. The things you have built can no longer contain what your soul is becoming… and that’s a beautiful thing.Paired with the Ace of Cups, this becomes something extraordinary:an awakening into love.Not the “falling” kind, but the remembering kind.The kind that feels like, “Oh… there you are.”This could be romantic. It could be familial. It could be spiritual. It could even be a deepening love for yourself. But whatever form it takes, it carries recognition, warmth, and the sense that you are not walking alone.As we step out of the Hermit year and into the Wheel of Fortune, the universe is asking:Can you trust what you cultivated in the quiet?Can you bring your heart into connection now?Justice reminds us that love is not meant to live in isolation. Love wants to be lived. Shared. Expressed in the world.So this week, move a little slower. Let the energy settle. Let the heart open. And when you feel that spark of recognition—whether with a person, a path, or a new possibility—trust it.May you awaken into love.May your heart feel warm and alive.May you remember you are not in this alone.I love you. I’ll see you soon. 💖
