RING , RING!
What’s that sound? Oh! It’s the Universe calling—and you’re answering the call.
La Epifanía, like Judgment/El Juicio, is here to announce that you’re leveling up, rising from the dead (and the dead ends), and following your sacred calling. It’s an awakening, an epiphany, a Life Purpose download from your all-star best selves. Descarga!
If you get La Epifanía in a reading, take it as an endorsement from the heavens, a sign that you’re moving in the right direction. You’re in alignment with your highest values. You’re this close to a major breakthrough. And you probably have a posse. As playwright Paula Vogel has said, “circles rise together”—so choose your people wisely and make sure you uplift one another during this momentous time.
When I say “your sacred calling,” what’s the first thing you see yourself doing? Are you doing it? La Epifanía says: Do it now.

If you didn’t know… the Fania All-Stars are a group formed in 1968 in New York City to showcase musicians from Fania, the leading salsa record label of the time. Pictured left to right: Cheo Feliciano, Héctor Lavoe, Johnny Pacheco (Fania founder), Puerto Rican trombone player Willie Colón at center, Celia Cruz, Ray Barretto, and Rubén Blades. The design of the title, La Epifanía, evokes the Fania All Stars logo.
