Your Aura Reading
Priscilla
painted from your energy · one of a kind
Part One
Your Aura
what the colors showed me
Your energy came through in three clear rings — a deep, guarded blue at the very center, a bright structured box of yellow holding it, and emerald green flowing free all around the outside. A protected core, a place of struggle, and a way out that moves like water.
Deep Midnight Blue
your life force
depth · protection · inner knowing · guarded strength
Your core came through as a deep midnight blue, almost black but unmistakably blue, with a softer, lighter blue wrapping the outside of it like a shield. That tells me your vital center is profound and intuitive, and that you instinctively guard it. There is a protective layer around your deepest self, a watchfulness that keeps the tender core safe. This is your power running quiet and deep, not loud, but immense.
in aura tradition · deep blue speaks to intuition, inner authority, and the kind of strength that does not need to announce itself. The protective outer ring reflects a self that feels things deeply and chooses carefully who gets to see it.
Electric Yellow
your challenge
overthinking · anxiety · scattered energy · indecision · lack of confidence · a new direction
Your struggle came through fast and bright, a near-electric yellow that formed itself into a box, a border, before pushing energy outward past its own edges. Yellow lives at the solar plexus, the seat of your personal power and confidence. A struggle here points to a quiet worry about a new direction, and to a place where your confidence is wavering. As an Eight, that wavering will rarely show on the surface. It tends to get released as energy, as drive, so that confidence stays visible even when it is shaky underneath. The push past the border is exactly that: certainty performed outward while something inside is still finding its footing.
There was also a little space around your life force that the yellow did not quite touch — a small gap of avoidance. This struggle is not the first thing that comes to mind. It asks you to sit with it a moment longer, to let yourself feel where the confidence is lacking even though it is uncomfortable, before the way out can open.
in aura tradition · yellow is mental clarity and personal power. When it turns electric and boxed-in, it speaks to a mind working overtime — overthinking and indecision circling a decision that the heart has not yet settled.
Emerald Green
your path forward
flow · release · heart-led · healing · allowing
Your way out is green, and it is everywhere — emerald flowing all around the outside, dense and deep in some places, lighter and brighter in others. Green is the heart. This is the medicine: going with the flow of your emotions rather than pushing against them. You have heard this before, I know. But the green came through so flowing, so unforced, that the message is simply to release into it. Relax into that beautiful moving green. Allow it. The way forward is not more force. It is letting yourself be carried by your own heart.
in aura tradition · green at the heart is healing, growth, and balance. Its flowing quality here is the invitation to soften — to trust feeling and movement over control and grip.
A Note From the Reading
When I connected with your energy, I felt the flow most strongly on the outside of that yellow box — the green moving freely, unforced, all around the edges of the struggle. The way out was never far away. It was already surrounding you.
What this means for you
You hold a deep, protected core of intuitive strength. Right now a new direction is stirring up a quiet crisis of confidence — overthinking and indecision boxing you in, even if you would never let it show. The medicine is not to push harder. It is to stop performing certainty, sit honestly with where you feel unsure, and then let your heart carry you forward in its own flowing time.
Part Two
Your Cards
a spread about the struggle — and the way through it
Your cards circled one theme: feeling stuck, and how to move. Two of them came from Swords, the suit of the mind — fitting, given that boxed-in yellow. They name the trap, then hand you the key.
The Heart of the Reading
Eight of Swords
feeling trapped · self-imposed limits · fear that isn’t as solid as it seems · reclaiming your power
This is what the whole reading is about. The card shows a woman blindfolded and bound, eight swords planted in the sand around her — but look closely: not one of those swords is pointed at her. They only surround her. The danger is perceived, not actual. The restraints are real-feeling but not as solid as they appear.
This is the feeling of being trapped by fear, by old circumstances, by your own internal uncertainty — the sense of not fitting in or not being able to express yourself freely. You may catch yourself making excuses for why you cannot move forward, or holding everything inside, feeling powerless to spark change. But the way forward begins the moment you reclaim your power. Take off the blindfold. Take one small step toward what you actually want. It takes patience and perseverance, and you can absolutely do it.
What’s Holding the Pattern
Knight of Pentacles
hesitation to act · stagnation · complacency · redirecting your energy back into flow
Upright, this Knight is the steady, methodical one — the only knight whose horse stands still, deeply tied to the earth. He knows that true prosperity is a long game built on patience, attention to detail, and solid daily effort. No shortcuts, no get-rich-quick schemes. Showing up fully and enthusiastically in every part of your life, not just the parts you are passionate about, is what creates lasting abundance.
But for you he came reversed, and that points to hesitation — a holding-back from action. It can also signal a quiet complacency in a job or a relationship that has started to feel stagnant. The question to sit with: where can you make positive changes to redirect your energy and get back into the flow? Remember the flow I felt all around the outside of that yellow box. This card is asking you to step back into it.
What the Universe Wants You to Know
Page of Swords
fresh perspective · curiosity · the inner child · prepared, measured courage
The Pages are the messengers of the tarot, and this one brings a fresh perspective and an invitation to stay curious. He carries a youthful energy — he may even be a message from your own inner child, urging you to follow your natural curiosity and stay open to learning something new.
He stands with his sword raised, practicing for a battle that has not yet come. He is excited and a little nervous, glancing around to see what is approaching. And here is the wisdom: he is grounded enough to know he must practice before leaping into conflict. His energy urges you forward, but with measured caution — pay attention to the subtle messages around you. Communication and new opportunities to engage your mind are gathering. You may feel apprehensive, but something is asking you to follow your enthusiasm. Build a solid plan first, and your confidence will rise to meet it.
What To Do
Five of Cups
grief · acknowledging loss · moving through melancholy · turning to see what still stands
Focusing on what has spilled will only take you so far. A figure stands in a black robe of mourning, head bent, three cups spilled before him. But behind him, two cups still stand upright, and a bridge waits to carry him back. If he would only turn around, he would see that not all is lost.
This card asks you to honestly acknowledge your sadness and disappointment. Go ahead and cry it out — the grieving is necessary, and it will not last forever. Isolation and sadness deserve to be met with compassion, not rushed past. But the two standing cups will fill again as you make your way out of the dark and rediscover joy, connection, and satisfaction. There is always a way back. Have patience with yourself.
Inner Child Oracle
Let It Go
23 · let go of all that no longer serves you
It is our nature to hold tightly to what is familiar. The weight of what we carry can feel like comfort, and the known so often seems wiser than the unknown. But just as a tree shapes itself around an obstacle and is forced onto a new path, the things we grip too tightly can quietly change the whole course of where we are going.
If this card has come to you, it may be time to reflect on what you are ready to release — the past, an ideal, a dream, a painful memory. Even if these things have grafted themselves to who you are, it is time to let go of what no longer serves you. Free the pent-up energy inside. Picture it leaving your body as you breathe deeply out. Forgive the disappointments, refuse the bitterness, loosen your grip on control — and let what needs to die, die, so that you can blossom again. Notice how it feels in your body to let go. Do you feel lighter? How does your inner child feel when you imagine setting it down?
What this means for you
The blindfold in the Eight of Swords is the heart of it: you feel trapped, but the swords are not actually pointed at you. The reversed Knight names the hesitation keeping you stuck, and the Page hands you the antidote — prepared, curious, measured courage. The Five of Cups says grieve what has spilled, then turn around to see what still stands. And the oracle names the doorway: let go of what no longer serves you, and the energy you have been holding finally moves.
Part Three
The Eight
The Challenger · Body Center · your growth direction
As an Eight, your gift is power — protection, directness, leadership, and the strength to move toward what others shrink from. People feel safe in your presence because you are willing to stand in front, to say the true thing, to act. You hold a fierce, grounded vitality that protects what matters to you.
The trap is that strength can harden into armor. The Eight’s deep belief is that vulnerability is dangerous — that to be soft is to be exposed, and to be exposed is to be hurt or controlled. So tenderness gets covered, uncertainty gets converted into drive, and the very feelings that would connect you to others get pushed down before they can surface. This is exactly the dynamic in your aura: a deep, guarded core, and a wobble of confidence that gets released as energy so it never has to be seen as weakness.
The Core Wound
“I must be strong — vulnerability is dangerous.” Somewhere along the way you learned that softness would be used against you, so you made strength your shelter. But the armor that once protected you can also keep out the very connection and tenderness you most deserve.
→ Growth · toward Two
When you grow, you move toward the open heart of the Two. Your strength stays, but it softens into care that lets others in. You allow yourself to be helped, not only to protect. Letting that emerald flow carry you — leaning into the places you feel vulnerable rather than powering past them — is this growth in motion.
→ Stress · toward Five
Under stress, you withdraw toward the Five — pulling back, withholding, retreating into your head to strategize and conserve. The overthinking and scattered mental energy in that electric-yellow box is the stress pattern showing up: planning and circling instead of feeling and moving.
Everything Together · Aura, Cards & Type
The deep blue core is the Eight’s guarded vulnerability — profound strength wrapped in a protective shield, exactly the tender center the armor exists to defend.
The electric yellow box is the confidence-struggle around a new direction — the Eight converting uncertainty into outward drive, the mind overthinking instead of letting the heart settle.
The emerald flow is your growth toward the Two: the open, heart-led softening that is already all around you, asking only to be allowed in.
The Eight of Swords is the wound made visible — feeling trapped by a fear that is not actually pinning you down. The blindfold is self-imposed, and so is the freedom.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles is the hesitation that keeps the armor in place — the holding-back that mistakes stillness for safety.
The Page of Swords is the medicine in motion — prepared, curious courage. Not a reckless charge (the Eight’s instinct), but practiced, grounded readiness.
The Five of Cups asks the hardest thing of an Eight: to grieve. To let the sadness be felt rather than armored over, and then to turn and see what still stands.
Let It Go is the release valve for all of it — the pent-up energy finally leaving on the exhale, the grip loosening so something new can grow.
The medicine was never more force. It was already the green — the flow at the edges, the open heart, the courage to set down the blindfold and let yourself be carried.
Three Steps You Can Take
Sit with the unfamiliar feeling, just for a minute. This week, when that flicker of not-quite-confidence shows up around the new direction, don’t release it as strength out of habit. Pause. Name it quietly to yourself: “I’m unsure here.” You don’t have to fix it or show it to anyone. Just let yourself register it. That is the leaning-in.
Choose one small, methodical step and take it before you feel ready. The Knight reversed is hesitation; the Page is prepared courage. Pick one concrete action toward the new direction — the smallest real step — and do it this week. Not the whole plan. One step. Patience and steady effort are your way out, not a leap.
Name one thing to let go of, and release it on the exhale. Pick one specific thing you’re gripping — an old expectation, a story about how this was supposed to go, a fear you’ve outgrown. Say it out loud. Then take three slow breaths and, on each exhale, imagine it leaving your body. Let it die so the new thing can grow.
The swords were never pointed at you.
The blindfold is yours to lift.
Set down what you’ve outgrown,
and let the green carry you home.
