Providing Stability

/ Twist the Leaf / 2 Comments

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Tarot of the Starbound PhantasiaToday’s draw is the King of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, manifestations, and the physical world.

Today is the day that I meet up with Ms B and the message here is clear. It’s the same as the Emperor that Gideon’s deck threw at him where I was concerned yesterday. I provide a sense of security and stability for all three of the women that I’m traveling with right now.

Today is an easy day. Travel, and then getting settled. Nothing is open on Easter Sunday, and so it gives time to just get comfortable without the pressure of things to do. It allows them to settle, and allows  time for calm and peace after. During this time, they look to me to help pave the way and make things go easier, help them settle and feel secure and stable so that we can start off on the right foot tomorrow.

For today?  The King of Pentacles is me. I take care of the billing, the electronics, and the small inconveniences that help them to settle and be comfortable during this time.

Questions for The Devil – Day 17

Seasons of the Witch Beltane Oracle and Tarot of the Starbound PhantasiaWhat attachments can potentially hold me back from growing?

Ribbons – Having an addictive personality means that you can very easily get tangled up in anything that provides pleasure. Like the monkey that hits the button that stimulates the pleasure center in their brain again and again without restraint, you can easily fall into repetitive behaviors when you find something that gives you the “just right” level of dopamine to keep you coming back again and again for more.

How can I constructively move past blockages or stagnation?

Sex Magick – Lean into authenticity and lack of guile. Both with others, and with yourself. What do you really want? This card encourages you to please yourself, and in doing so those that matter will also be pleased.

The Tower – Day 18

What can use a do-over or a new beginning?

Goddess – Self care and treating yourself as sacred is something that you were working on, and then the holiday rush and subsequent new year depression stepped in and pulled you off track. Now that you’re climbing out of depression’s pit, a do-over or restart would be an excellent idea.

What needs to be torn down and parted with in support of my best self?

Oracle – How you view and interact with your spirit guides needs a bit of a rebuild. You are overcomplicating things. There is a better and easier way.

Topic: Do Spread #3

Tarot of the Starbound PhantasiaYou – Two of Swords – You are currently struggling to be decisive in your own life. There is a tug of war going on between your desire to chill and relax, and your desire to get things done that need to be done.

Your Goal – Page of Wands – Reconnecting with your passions, inspiration, and motivation. From the burnout of the holiday rush, you slide hed first into depression.  You haven’t had a chance to reconnect with that inner spark in quite some time.

What’s Holding You Back

The Hermit Rx – Unhealthy alone time is holding you back. Time that is siphoned away in pursuits that are neither restful nor productive. This is an avoidance behavior that you will need to overcome to move forward.

Advice To Overcome What’s Holding You Back

Three of Pentacles – Lean into help from others in this area. As previous readings you have done indicate, others have the ability to lift you up and help kindle your spark of joy within. Welcome them in and let them help you instead of thinking you have to do everything on your own. The climb out of depression’s pit does not have to be a solitary endeavor.

Daily Self Kindness

I asked Ms B to do a bit of a skin check on my back for me.  I’m not usually comfortable removing my shirt when others can see due to the good deal of scarring that I wear on my body, but I let her do a check of my back for me since I haven’t been able to get an appointment with a dermatologist to check me over in the past two years.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

These Saturday 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 is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Crystal Visions Tarot, Joyseeker Oracle, and Heloise Lenormand

Earth – Ace of Cups and The Koi – Allow your true feelings to show when asked your opinion on the new opportunities you will be exploring this week with your visitor. She needs honest feelings and opinions on what will be best for her financially and that will help her in finding the stability she needs. Help her to explore where her priorities and values lie, and how she defines “wealth” in her life.

Air – Five of Swords and The Otter – Take time this week to examine where you might be shooting yourself in the foot… or stabbing yourself in the back, as is seen in the card’s imagery. What are you making more difficult than it has to be? When you find yourself struggling or frustrated, take a minute to consider this and see if there isn’t a better way.

Water – Ten of Swords and The Jaguar – Remember, as you continue to climb out of the pit, not to look at the depression as a handicap or a flaw. It is a way to explore the world from a different perspective and see things differently for a time. It allows you to see more than someone who does not experience these things. Don’t be ashamed of it, as it has value.

Fire – Judgement and The Bat – You deserve to have a break now and then, and anyone that cannot accept that and tries to judge you harshly for it doesn’t deserve to have a piece of your energy and effort. Remember that their judgments say far more about them than about you.

Waning – Moon and Mice – Corruption of confidence in your intuition and inner knowing. Don’t allow insecurity to creep in and cause problems.

Waxing – Woman and Ship – Your visitor. She’s visiting for a short time and needs your help while she is here. Train your focus in this direction in the week ahead.

Take Away – For the week ahead, it’s clear that my focus needs to lie on making sure that Ms B gets what she needs out of this trip.  That is… honest opinions and support.  Then, once the visit is over, to make sure I give myself the rest and recovery I need without judgement.
