A fiery, creative week invites bold love and shared projects, while money asks for caution and health asks for care. We weigh choices, trim what drains, and protect the energy that keeps everything moving.

• Queen of Wands as a cue for action and creative love
• equal energy exchange as a health check for relationships
• honoring animal companions as true family
• Two of Swords signaling a money crossroads and pause
• using tools, strategy, and subtraction to steady finances
• Five of Pentacles reframed as purposeful budgeting
• health as a core resource to protect
• trusting tradeoffs while making room for better fits

We’re here to celebrate the release of Dr. Matache’s new book, The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism (Un)uttered Sentences.

Dr. Margareta (Magda) Matache is a Lecturer on Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the co-founder and Director of the Roma Program at the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, Harvard University. She is also a member of the Lancet Commission on Racism, Structural Discrimination and Global Health.

Dr. Matache’s research focuses on the manifestations and impacts of racism and other systems of oppression in different geographical and political contexts. Her research examines structural and social determinants of health, and their nexus with the historical past and contemporary public policies, with a particular focus on anti-Roma racism.
