Today’s meditation was just under twelve minutes long. It was another of the quiet, reflective meditations with breathing exercises added in.

Today’s draw is the Chariot card, which is traditionally a representation of control, willpower, determination, and the strength of purpose to “take the reigns” and steer yourself in the path you wish to follow.

I don’t find the imagery in this card particularly helpful or inspiring.  I’m not entirely sure why it’s the illustration for the Chariot card, but I could be missing some meaning that just isn’t connecting for me.

The message in today’s card is to not forget that you control what you do with your day, no one else. If you want to take it easy, take it easy. If you want to get things done, then get things done.

You hold the reins.

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2022 Challenge Prompt
Question: What do you need to focus on for self care this New Moon?

Reading Summary: Ignoring your need for Gideon (King of Cups Rx) causes chaos and destruction (The Tower).

Take control of your responsibilities (The Emperor) and use the skills you’ve developed over time (Eight of Pentacles) to make sure that everything is dealt with as needed so that you have the availability to spend the time with him that is needed as well.

Take Away: It’s been hard to get time with him of late, and it’s only through taking control of your responsibilities that you’re going to get that time with him that you need.

I am playing some serious catch up and I have no idea what the self-kindness for this day might have been.
