Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Death card, which is traditionally a representation of organic change, slow moving transition, and occasionally, death… although not always death of a person or animal.

What stands out to me the strongest in the imagery of this card us that the figure faces into the past. It speaks to me of the need to leave the chaos of change behind you once the transition has completed.

Today’s card is a reminder not to keep looking back, but instead set the past behind you along with the discomfort of the transition period, and move forward with openness to embrace the new.

#DiscordTarotholicsNov2022 Challenge Prompt
Questions for November 3rd and 4th

What do you want from your inner circle?

Three of Pentacles – Help, even when I’m horrible about asking for it. I want to know that they are there for me when I need them, and that I am able to depend on them for assistance… even during times when I might not be all that graceful in asking for it.

The Emperor (on its side) – Tolerance for when I’m a bossy ass.  I’m stubborn and often lean hard into taking control of situations in order to assure a positive outcome. I need tolerance from my inner circle during these times, as I know that I am often aggravating when this tendency rises to the fore.

What do you hope for?

King of Swords atop Queen of Cups – I hope to instill more emotion into my life without it making me feel “weak”.

@The.Journey.Well ‘s Friendship & Community Challenge Prompt
Question for November 4th: Advice I need to hear at this time concerning my friendships.

Reading Summary: Those friends that are consistently with you through thick and thin (Strength), and supportive of your efforts to improve yourself and your self-treatment (Queen of Cups) are the friendships to focus on. Don’t give attention to the takers and those always demanding more from you (The Unattainable), as they will never be what you need and will just suck you dry.

Take Away: Don’t take those that are true friends through thick and thin for granted. New and shiny “friends” can’t take the place of those that are tried and true. Sometimes we forget this and take them for granted as a result.  Awareness of this tendency can help in making sure that your friends don’t -feel- as if they are being taken for granted, even if you don’t always act as grateful as you could.

I had the most miraculously good sleep on my new bed last night, then I spent a little extra time wallowing in it when I got home from work.
