XVII LA J.LO

DESPUÉS DEL DESMADRE, LA ESTRELLA

La J.Lo—like The Star/La Estrella—signals a time of radiance, good fortune, and effortless feelings of confidence. Perched majestically at the edge of a pond, her feet in the water with her heels still touching the earth, La J.Lo pours out her sparkly potion into the waters of unfuckwithability. (Or maybe it’s the Fountain of Youth, quién sabe.) The seven stars in the sky represent the chakras, illuminated from within and connected to self.

If you get this card in a reading, it means your “J.Lo Effect” is in full force. Relish it! You’re in a period of reality-defying magnificence. Be fearless. Take leaps.

Not only are you in touch with your superstar superpowers, but the external world is also smiling on you, abriendo caminos, conspiring to protect you and your delicious dreams. Listen to your inner voice as it sings through your whole body. Befriend the crowned birds, the tips of mountains, the giggling rivers.

“Live your life and stay young”—La J.Lo’s got (your) back.
