Please Yourself

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was just shy of ten minutes long and more of a quiet time with breathing exercises than a full blown meditation.

Fungjai TarotToday’s draw is the Six of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the kind of success that garners one public admiration and accolades.  This includes the seeking of such attention as well as the obtaining of it.

The reminder in today’s card is about what I truly want to accomplish with my days in these first few days back at home.  Do I want to spend this time pushing towards what others want to see from me?   Or… do I want to give myself what I need?

Soon, I will need to fill orders, but for now?  It’s more important to take some time to please myself instead of immediately hopping back on the hamster wheel.

Question: Where in my life do I need to work on better boundaries in the year ahead?

Hidden Forest OracleSweets atop Cottage – Too much time wallowing at home can become an unhealthy pleasure. It’s important to make sure that you’re getting time outside and away from the house.  Don’t allow yourself to get so wrapped up in the comfort of home that it becomes unhealthy for you.

Dagger atop Cow – Cut ties with where you expect nourishment to come from. You’ve found it elsewhere.

This is about having finally experienced what family actually feels like.  You’ve truly experienced the emotional nourishment of mother energy without demands, requirements, and bartering involved.  No expectations… just love.  It’s time to accept that you can indeed find this type of energy elsewhere, and let go of the expectation that you will get it from your own family.

Fungjai Tarot and The Visionary OracleWhat seeds can I plant today in support of my personal growth?

The Devil and Slow Down – You think you’ve slowed down lately in your addictions, and it’s true that you have made great progress, but there is still further to go in this area.

What can I do to nurture these seeds to full growth?

The World and Do Nothing – Recognize that everything you need will come with time. Don’t lean into your addictions.  This isn’t about turning away from them, but realizing that they are not needs and don’t have to drive your actions as often as they do.

Daily Self Kindness

I’m playing catch up and this is one in a series of posts that I don’t have a clue what was done for a self kindness.

🌑 New Moon in Capricorn – January 2022

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

On Sunday is the first new moon of the new year, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is about the medicine within, and brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot by the Moon series.

New Moon in Capricorn Reading - Golden Constellation Oracle

Where do I need to stand strong?

The Altar – Responsibility to the forefront. Now is not the time for frivolity.  You can have plenty of fun, but don’t indulge in yourself and behaviors that will pull your focus away from your responsibilities.

How can I challenge myself in 2022?

Cannis Major – Work on leaving the past in the past where it belongs. You made good strides in this towards the end of the summer and throughout the fall of last year. This card indicates that this year is a good time to pick this effort back up and expand on it further through the year.

Where in my life requires more sensitivity?

The Eagle – Your moral compass and in following your truth. You don’t have to be so cruel to yourself when self-correcting.  There is also encouragement here in this card to approach your connection with (and reaching for) the divine with a less aggressive approach. This doesn’t mean avoiding or ignoring, but to consider Almathea’s approach with an open mind and heart. You’ve hedged long enough… but neither do you need to dive in headlong.

What long-term goals and plans need my attention?

Virgo – Getting organized and sorting out priorities. You want shelves for your decks.  This is a long term projecr that needs to be worked toward instead of “diving in” and expecting to complete it quickly. Don’t be afraid of the chaos. There’s always chaos before things fall into order.

What is the next best practical step forward?

Andromeda – Take in the big picture. Look at what lies on your plate and be realistic with the expectations you set for yourself.
