The End of the World

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped, as it’s an orders day.

Women of High Fantasy Tarot and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Tower, which is traditionally a representation of (as mentioned day before yesterday) the calamity and chaos of sudden, unexpected upheaval and change. The Tower card reminds us that for new good things to be built, the old and rotted remnants of what once stood must first be torn down.

Combined with the Thera-Pets card, what we see here is a message of hope and encouragement.  It’s a reminder that as chaotic and confusing, painful and overwhelming as sudden change can sometimes be?  You will get through it.  You will come out the other side and, through the process of chaos, be in a place where you can begin to start again and rebuild.

It truly isn’t the end of the world, even if it might feel like it.

Questions for August 26th and 28th

Women of High Fantasy TarotRemember – Ace of Wands – Your inner spark. Your enthusiasm. The joy found in the creation of beautiful things.

Forgive – Knight of Cups – Sometimes when we’re going after what we really want, we can become blind to the feelings of others, focused to sharply and too deeply on our own desires. It happens to you… and it happened others too.

Forget – Seven of Wands –  Don’t worry so much about defending the high ground. Those that have come up against you in order to try and take it from you have lost, and it’s time to let it go.

What do I need to hear right now? – Three of Swords Rx atop Page of Swords – Your depression is a journey of learning. As unpleasant as it might be, it has lessons to teach you just like every other experience in your life.

When my soul was aching a bit earlier today, I laid down and cuddled with Miss Luna for a bit.

Words hit like
sledgehammer fists
crushing
in their impact
as they speak
hatred that is dark
sticky and cloying
insidious grasp
a whisper awakened
that you
are not welcome
and forever
undeserving

The Insect Tarot - Virgo Season Tarot Reading

Card that best describes me currently.
King of Wands

Although you are not paying attention to the fact that you do this, you inspire others through your passion and your directness… your forthrightness. You allow your true self to be seen, and it sparks enthusiasm and others as a result. Even in things like presenting your depression, your mistakes, and your opinions honestly, you give inspiration to others to do the same.

How can I improve my ability to “go with the flow”?
Page of Swords

Remember that although not all new ideas are good ideas, a great number of good ideas come from new ideas. Accept that a seed won’t share with the world whether it is a good seed or a bad one until it starts to grow. You can’t weed what hasn’t sprouted yet. This means you have to have patience and let things move along at their own pace until you have all the information that you need.

Why should I begin to ask others for help?
The High Priestess

Your intuition needs the support. When you overburden yourself, it affects your intuition, creating blocks to your natural ability to see and understand the unseen. Asking for help can in turn help you, and free up that space for your intuition to continue to stretch and grow.

Why I sometimes feel misunderstood by others.
Two of Swords

Your motivations and opinions are your own, and so are your values and your principles. Your moral compass is what guides you, and it is attuned to you and you alone. Sometimes when you make decisions based on this moral compass, others won’t understand why are you made the choice that you did or how you came to the conclusion you have. When you waffle, they may not understand for the same reason… because they’re moral compass is not aligned with yours, and so they don’t see why you hesitate.

How I can start to see the perfect in my imperfect self.
Eight of Cups

Let go of expectations and step away from what you know is unhealthy for you. Demanding perfection from yourself isn’t healthy, and neither is pushing yourself to your limits and beyond them. Abandon these unhealthy habits and find a path that feeds your soul through a healthier outlook and healthier treatment of yourself.

A new healthy habit I should explore.
Three of Wands

Embracing changes and moving forward with a plan, rather than allowing those changes to cause you to stumble, hesitate, or fall.
