Today’s meditation was probably skipped, but I can’t remember.  I’m playing catch-up.

Today’s draw is the King of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s intellect, education, communication, and instinct.  Part of this also includes imagination, although that can also touch upon the Cups suit as well.

The message that you see in the combination of the authority seen in the King of Swords and the affirmation card today is that if you can dream it, think it, strategize it… you can do it.

Sometimes you have to “own” what you want in attitude and how you present yourself, in your mind and your dreams.  Then when the opportunity to truly seize those things, you are prepared to reach out and grab them with both hands.

Questions for August 18th

What message does Temperance have for me?

Six of Cups – Be kind to yourself and allow your intuition to guide you into leaning into positive memories instead of the negative ones.

What obstacles does Temperance want to warn me about?

Five of Cups – You are struggling with keeping your emotions uplifted and seeing the positive. Don’t ignore this. It’s important.

What guidance does Temperance have for me to overcome this obstacle?

Three of Pentacles atop Two of Pentacles – Allow your friends to help you in making good decisions instead of doing it on your own. Your perception is flawed at the moment, and they are happy to help.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2021 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question: Does luck (good or bad) actually exist?

Luck is our earthly perception of the swing between cause and effect. The universe seeks balance between these two things. We do not always perceive all the positive and negative that constantly seeking balance things out creates, and thus what we notice, we arbitrarily label as “luck” when it’s not anything so random.

If we slow down (Knight of Pentacles) and really take the time to see things from a fresh perspective (Ace of Swords), we can witness this effort of the universe creating this swing back and forth in that constant effort to find balance in the ever shifting sands of life (The World).

Like the meditation at the beginning of this post, I’m playing catch up and I just don’t remember what I did today for a self kindness.
