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?

Earth – Ace of Hearts (Pentacles) – Keep an eye open for new opportunities in the area of your finances and resources. The things that make you feel secure and stable in life can provide new opportunity this week if you are paying attention and clear headed enough to take it vantage of the offers presented.

Air – Three of Swords – No sinking allowed. Do not let disappointments feel as if they are crushing you. Make sure you are focusing on things that can help in mitigating the influence of these negative thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Water – Four of Cups – By the same turn, as with the advice in the Air position, make sure that you are not sinking into sulking and turning away from those that can help lift you up.

Fire – Ten of Swords atop Page of Hearts (Pentacles) – You know all that preparation you’ve been doing to help yourself find a new in better ways in which to deal with the approaching rush? All that shit’s going to feel like it’s falling apart this week. Remember that you’re supposed to be off this week, and set it aside instead of dealing with it right away.

Waning – Raven (Stork) and Blood Moon – Keep an eye on your emotions this week.  Contentment and feelings of satiated positivity are waning and you don’t want the gaping hole left behind to be something you fall in face first.

Waxing – Poison Ring and Sir Pumpkinhead – Focus on Gideon and let him help in easing your anxieties this week. He has the ability to lift you up when others might struggle under the weight, which is part of what makes him such a good match for you.

Take Away – Anxiety is going to try and have its way with you this week.  Make sure you are staying on top of combating negativity and those abusive inner narratives not just with a conscious effort towards positivity and optimism, but by leaning into those that love you for the support you need.  Keep your eyes open for opportunity to strike.
