Are You Recognizing Your Patterns?

At HerHalo, I always say clarity begins with self-honesty, and nothing reveals that faster than recognizing your own patterns. We talk a lot about love, timing, communication, and intuition, but none of that matters if we are moving through relationships unconsciously. Most of the pain people feel in connection is not because of fate or what someone did, it is because of patterns, the ones we inherited, rehearsed, repeated, and rarely question.

This week on TikTok live, I walked someone through this exact realization. A simple three-card pull followed by grounded guidance created a real turning point for her, and it reminded me why this work matters.

Here is the process.



Tarot: Queen of Swords Pattern Recognition

1. Pattern Recognition

Before anything changes, you have to actually see the pattern.

Her three cards, the Ten of Swords, the Queen of Swords, and the Five of Swords, did not predict an ending or conflict. They reflected her internal state and how she had been showing up. As we talked, she realized she had said something that genuinely hurt her partner. Not intentionally, not maliciously, but the impact was real.


That moment of pause, the quiet “oh, that was me,” is where transformation begins.




Pattern recognition is not about blame; it is about clarity. It is about reclaiming your power instead of giving it away.



2. Accountability Without Shame

Accountability is not self-punishment; it is alignment.

Once she saw her role, she did not defend herself. She did not spiral or over-explain. She owned it. She said, “You’re right, I did say something hurtful,” and chose to move differently. Not to win anyone back, but because she wanted to act from integrity.

Most people never reach this point because accountability feels vulnerable, but accountability is how you step out of old loops and into a new version of yourself.

3. Emotional Recalibration

When awareness shifts, energy shifts with it.

After her reading, she left the live to sit with what came up. Later that night, she apologized. Not because I told her to, but because it felt aligned. When she returned to the TikTok live to update me, her energy was different.

Her original spread made sense in a new way, and that shift within her was clear. She moved from swords, tension, and conflict, to cups, openness, softness, and reconnection.


Growth in real time is not dramatic. It is intentional. It is emotional maturity taking shape.



4. The Goal Is Not the Relationship, It Is You

The purpose of this work, and the purpose of HerHalo, is not to predict your future. It is to help you understand yourself. When you recognize your patterns, you stop repeating them. When you take accountability, cycles break. When you shift internally, your relationships shift externally, whether they evolve, dissolve, or realign.


This is why I do not engage in fear-based readings.

This is why I do not create drama or projection.

This is why my guidance is grounded, direct, and centered on you.

I am not here to tell you who is jealous or who is cheating.

I am here to help you return to your own light.



5. If You Want to Grow, Start Here

Ask yourself:

What pattern keeps replaying in my relationships?

Where do I react instead of respond?

What truth have I avoided owning?

What would accountability look like for me?

How would my relationships change if I softened instead of defending?


Growth is not complicated; it is simply uncomfortable. Your life begins to shift the moment you choose to see yourself clearly.


If you are ready for deeper clarity and grounded insight, HerHalo sessions are open, a softer and more aligned version of you is waiting on the other side of awareness.
