Hey my beautiful friends, I came across a video by Chase Hughes recently, and it really struck a chord with me. He talked about how much of the world we’re living in now is more simulation than reality, how everything around us is designed, filtered, and shaped until it no longer points back to what’s real. And the moment you see it, you can’t unsee it. That awareness changes everything.
And maybe you’ve felt this too. That constant stream of updates, opinions, and polished images that leaves you feeling more drained than inspired. It’s like there’s more and more information, but less and less meaning. And sometimes it feels impossible to tell what’s real anymore.
I pulled a few cards around this energy... the 7 of Swords, The Moon, and the 2 of Swords. Together, they paint such a clear picture of the times we’re in,
The 7 of Swords shows up when there’s deception or trickery, not always from people with bad intentions, but from the noise around us that keeps us distracted. Think about how often you’re scrolling online and come across a headline that pulls you in, or an ad that convinces you that you need something to be whole. That’s the 7 of Swords at work, it’s energy that pulls you away from your own truth. And yet, this card isn’t just about being deceived. It’s also about reclaiming your awareness. Once you recognize the trick, you don’t fall for it. You begin to see where your energy is being stolen, and you take it back.
Then there’s The Moon. This card is the fog. It’s that confusion when you don’t know what’s real anymore, when things feel blurry and uncertain. Maybe you’ve been in conversations where someone swears they know “the truth,” but it just doesn’t sit right with you. Or you’ve watched something online and thought, Why does this feel off, even though it looks perfect? That’s The Moon energy, illusions that make us doubt ourselves. But here’s the gift, The Moon always calls you back to your intuition. It whispers, “Even if the world looks upside down, your inner compass still knows the way.”
And finally, the 2 of Swords. This is the card of indecision, the moment when you’re stuck in the middle, not sure which way to go. It can look like standing in front of too many options and feeling frozen. Or trying to figure out what to believe when every voice around you says something different. This card shows the paralysis that comes from too much noise. But it also invites a solution, take off the blindfold, step out of the spinning thoughts, and listen to the stillness inside you. The decision becomes clearer when you stop letting the outside world decide for you.
Together, these cards are telling us that yes, the world is full of illusions, simulations, and distractions... but you don’t have to get lost in them. In fact, becoming aware of them makes you stronger. The 7 of Swords says, notice the trick. The Moon says, trust your gut over the noise. The 2 of Swords says, step back until the answer feels like truth in your body.
So if you’ve been feeling drained by the endless scroll, stuck in overthinking, or questioning what’s real, let this be your reminder: you are not powerless here. You can pause. You can choose to touch what’s real, your breath, your heartbeat, the love you give and receive, the ground beneath your feet.
🌹 Daily Connection Ritual (Simple + Practical) Unplug: Take 5 minutes away from screens. Just breathe or stretch. Ground: Touch something real ~ the earth, water, your own skin. Remind yourself you are nature. Reflect: Ask one gentle question: “What is real for me today?” Write the first thing that comes. Reclaim: Choose one thing that feels like yours (your joy, your truth, your peace) and carry it with you.
Illusions may surround us, but they cannot take away the truth that lives inside you.
