Overflow Is Not “Runneth Over”

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Yasmine Abed TarotToday’s draw is the Ace of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of the seed of new beginnings in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition.

What stands out to me the strongest in the imagery of today’s card is the fact that the skull is overflowing.

You are especially sensitive to new contact tonight with the veil at its thinnest. You’ve taken a lot of time over the past few years to get more in touch with your emotions, which has opened your intuition that was already honed up until it is at a point of overflow. Make sure that you are not taking on too much, and avoid activities tonight that will expose you to more than you can hold or handle.

HealingThruTarot’s October Shadow Work Challenge Prompt
Questions for October 29th and 31st

The GoracleWhat needs to be healed through my shadow work?

The Bone and The Murderer – Deep in your core lies an often vicious need for independence to the point of keeping loved ones at arms length. This need is created by a wound from your past that needs some attention and shadow work.

How can I practice compassion for myself?

The Undead and The Deceased – Lean into happiness and those things that bring you joy instead of giving so much pull to the expectations of others and that you place on yourself. Have some fun and loosen up that rigid grip a bit.

Halloween Tarot Reading with the Yasmine Abed Tarot

How to honor this night.

The Tower – Accept that the overwhelm and chaos you feel with the veil thin and your eyes wide open won’t last. It’s temporary. You see too much, hear too much… and it fall feels like too much, but it will pass.

Protection message.

Four of Wands – Being at home where your protections and wards are sting and create a sense of comfort will help. Avoid going out of at all possible today.

Spirits to guide your way.

Five of Swords – Look to the Fae, especially those you share space with in your home. They are fiercely territorial and protective, and will help in keeping things from getting out of hand today.

Ghosts of the past to release.

Temperance – Don’t add this to your burden right now. You have been working on releasing these spirits from the past all along, a little at a time.

A message from your ancestors + those passed.

Queen of Cups – We are here for you, and only seek to support you. Sometimes we get a little carried away because of our love for you, but remember that even then, this comes in the spirit of love and is not intended to do harm.

How to see through the veil all year round.

The Sun – When you are happy your intuition is wide open in a way it can’t be when you’re miserable. Lean into positivity and optimism, and it will open you up to more.

I stayed home today, just as the cards suggested.  I put off all errands and other needs that would require “going out” for another day.
