Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Six of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of moving on, letting go, intentional transitions, and releasing baggage from your past in order to move on to something better.

The Capricorn in this illustration isn’t just moving on from a crap situation into a (hopefully) better one, but they’re taking their valuables with them with absolutely no intention of looking back.

Today’s card is a reminder not to leave behind what’s important. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in the transition, and moving out of a bad situation into a better one, that we can forget what’s important. And sometimes? Those important things end up left behind, either because we think we should, or because we simply forget them.

The message today is to make sure you don’t forget these important things. Make a list, check it twice. Tuck away the good stuff and take it with you… make sure you don’t leave it behind.

Lionharts’ #TheJanuaryTarot 2023 Year of Evolution Challenge Prompt
Question for January 4th: Go through your deck, card by card, until you find a card that represents how you feel today. Place it on the table then do a reading asking “What am I asked to do with or about my current feelings?”

How You Feel – The Used – I have to talk with a friend about reciprocity today, and it’s gonna suck. This was the closest card I could find in the deck that fit what I’m feeling, not just concerning them, but in general for the day so far.

What am I asked to do with or about my current feelings?

Right now they are feeling like they didn’t do anything wrong and are oblivious to there being a problem or willfully ignoring it (The Lost Ones), thus this needs to be brought to their attention (The Executioner). If you don’t talk to them about the problem, they won’t know what it is and can’t start over and turn over a new leaf (The New).

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2023 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question for January 4th: Historically, what has been humanity’s biggest challenge?

Reading Summary: Passionate determination (King of Wands) to reach for the stars (The Star) sometimes creates more problems and hurdles in the way of success than it solves (Ten of Coins Rx).

Take Away: Humanity has always had a tendency to get in its own way when it comes to true success and enjoyment of their successes. Whether it’s with their single minded determination toward a goal, or an increasing obsession with a single passion, or zealousness of one flavor or another.

All of these are distractions that have a habit of drawing humanity away from true success and happiness in that success, for there is always a desire for more and better and never time to rest and smell the roses and truly enjoy.
