Week five of accountability. This is definitely working out for me, and I will continue it past the end of August. Today, I would not have gotten my journaling done on this spread at all without the accountability of needing to post it here. I’m well aware of that and that the reason I did it is because it needed to get put up here on the blog.
As I mentioned before, these readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and are not meant as a predictive reading.
The question is… What do I need to focus on in the week ahead?
Body – Four of Candles – Now is a time to focus on the progress made. Do not let what is predictably a slow two weeks each year drag you down. Celebrate how far you’ve come instead.
Mind – Five of Tomes – Don’t let worries and anxieties about finances and stability overrun me and blind me to options and methods that are there to assist when needed.
Emotions – Explorer of Bells – As the Five of Tomes speaks of keeping the mind open to possibilities and options, this one speaks of keeping oneself open to lessons of the “heart”. Do not close yourself off, just make good choices.
Inner Spark – Nine of Bells – Do not let the cacophony of self doubt over the next week stunt your progress, no matter how distracting it may be.
Moving Away From – Subdrop… and thank god for that. The feeling of being swallowed whole bhy the drop will soon pass.
Heading Toward – Self doubt and overly critical thinking directed at the self, especially in relation to my business and finances.
Moral of the Story – Relax and Breathe… It’s going to be okay.
Side note on last week’s Self Care Saturday:
You see this card from last week? You see that devil there, invisible but on the leash? I know what that is now.
That is the motherf’king subdrop… walking so nicely beside me, hidden but there. But it’s not on a leash at all. Just when I thought I had it under control, it jumped up and bit me on the ass.
Just sayin’.
Today’s meditation was ten minutes and thirty seconds long, and focused on taking your mindfulness practice from your meditation and into your daily life.
Today’s draw is another double without a jumper, because as seems to be the norm for this deck, they came out together. The cards in today’s draw are the King of Pentacles (the Silverback Gorilla) and the Fool (the Ccara Llama) from the Major Arcana.
