Value and Worth: Driving the Power Behind Our Goals and Desires
A♦️ Week
July 2 - 8, 2025
This Week's Theme
The Birth of Value, Clarity in Desire & The Power of Self-Worth
This week is the first week of the second half of the year, and the United States' Birthday occurs during this week. The year begins with the Earth Cardinal Sign, and the second half of the year begins with the Water Cardinal Sign -- earth and water are both needed to plant and nurture a seed. Interestingly, the A❤️ week occurs during the Earth Cardinal Season (Capricorn), and the A❤️ is like the Ace of Cups and represents water and emotions. While the A♦️ occurs during the Water Cardinal Season, the A♦️ is like the Ace of Coins in tarot and represents earth and material wealth. The red suits are considered masculine, and being Aces, they are like the ignition that powers the energy forward, actively moving towards goals. Cardinal energy works in much the same way; the season calls for an active pursuit of achievements and goals.
While there is only one K♠️ day a year, this energy shows up in hidden ways throughout the year. The alignment of the Q♣️ Month beginning with the A♦️ week is one of those times. As mentioned above, this point in the year is like a second beginning. This week is also a time to review what you began at the beginning of the year, the work you did, and what manifested from your actions. This may reveal areas where you can reassess and make adjustments before proceeding with the remainder of the year. The beginning of the year was a time when you planted a seed you were passionate about. After six months, you now have the opportunity to plant a seed you value profoundly. The work you put into over the next thirteen weeks will determine whether you'll be able to plant the most powerful seed, providing yourself with a foundation for an easy new beginning at the end of the year.

It's a powerful time, and we hope that the daily, weekly, and monthly blog posts help you navigate the energy a little better and with a little more clarity.
Declare Your Worth in Writing
Use the clarity of the Ace to write a Value Declaration; this is a statement of who you are, what you stand for, and what you deserve. Begin with: 'I am someone who values...' List three non-negotiable standards you’re now holding. End with: 'I release all desire that is not mine to hold'. Speak this declaration aloud daily this week.
Audit Your Desires
The Ace wants it all, but not all of it is real. Sit with your biggest desires and ask: Who taught me to want this? How does it feel in my body? What part of me is nourished by this? If a desire doesn’t align with your truth, thank it and release it.
