Perfect Moments

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

The Lover's Path Tarot - Ten of CupsToday’s draw is the Ten of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of emotional satiation. This goes beyond the solitary satisfaction we see in the Nine of Cups and speaks, instead, of an emotional completion that is both healthy and includes others. For that reason, this card is often referred to as the “happy family” card.

I love the imagery on this card. It’s just so peaceful and complete to me.  The tree and the water, the figures together and the green hills.  It’s just… uniquely perfect.

Today’s message is about identifying perfect moments. Life isn’t perfect, and there’s always going to be problems and struggles, hurdles and stressors. The thing is, though?  We all have perfect moments in our lives.

Today’s card is a reminder not to take these moments for granted, but to cherish them. Treasure them and hold them close both in the moment and in your memories, so that when times are not so perfect you can pull those memories up to remind yourself that perfection does exist, and it will come again.

Questions for February 2nd thru 4th

The Lover's Path TarotIn what moments in life do you find the most joy?

High Priestess and Two of Cups – One of the ways in which you experience joy in your life most strongly when you are able to connect on a deeper and more profound level with those that you love and care about.

How can you experience and embrace more joy in life?

When your hard work and determination (Magician) is starting to pay off (Seven of Pentacles), instead of continuing to push or begin looking for more options to expand upon your success (Seven of Cups), take time to celebrate what you’ve accomplished (Three of Cups).

What do you need to focus on for self-care for the approaching new moon?

Queen of Pentacles and Five of Cups Rx – Don’t get down on yourself about the business being slow. Instead, focus forward on nurturing it into greater health. Slumps happen, but focusing too deeply upon them can make then extend and expand rather than blowing over for better.

Love Yourself Tarot Reading with the Kei Tarot Love

I am proud of myself for…

Two of Wands and Temperance – You made the choice a few years ago to begin focusing more on balancing self-care into your journey going forward, rather than ignoring your needs or sacrificing them on the altar of your goals. You may not have perfected this, but you continue to strive in this effort and are proud of the successes that you have achieved in this area.

One unique thing I have to offer is…

Empress and Six of Swords – Your nurturing and encouragement helps others in seeking out better and healthier paths for their lives. With your help they are able to see the potential that change has to offer, and your help then encourages them to reach for it rather than shrink away.

I love myself, because…

Eight of Swords Rx and Ace of Wands – You are always seeking to see the truth and alternative perspectives of any situation. You use your inner fire of determination within you to keep this effort going no matter how bad things seem in the moment.

More time with Gideon.  It’s been so amazing having so much time with him lately in the evenings and I’m really enjoying it.

🌕 Full Moon in Leo – February 2023

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

The day after tomorrow is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us.

Full Moon in Leo tarot reading with the Tarot Skrytých Světů

Where is my power during this full moon?

The World – You have the opportunity to embrace transition with this full moon. Use the peak energy of this Leo Full Moon to mark the end of a journey that needs set behind you and foster a new, fresh start with vigor.

What belief, relationship, or habit no longer serves me?

Two of Cups – Take a close look at those relationships that you have in the past felt closest to, as there is one among them that you are no longer aligned with. You do not need to hang on to these relationships when they no longer serve a purpose.

What area of life could benefit from me taking a risk?

Temperance – You do not have to be “on” all of the time. Downtime and moderation does not mean things are going to fall apart on you. It’s okay to step away now and then. When you allow yourself to take a risk and lean into moderation, you will find a gift of balance waiting for you there.

Where am I being called to be creative and think outside the box?

The Empress – Self-care and nurturing doesn’t have to be the same old thing over and over again. If you’re feeling a little bored with your regular self-care routines, it’s okay to shake things up and try new things.

Where am I seeking validation in my life?

The Hermit atop Eight of Cups – You need validation that assures you that it’s okay that your “alone time” needs are changing. You’ve enjoyed the same alone time for a very long time, but lately that need has been changing a bit and the alone time you’ve been indulging in hasn’t been healthy.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ace of Swords Rx – Don’t close yourself off or hold back in communicating with others. They are clamoring to keep you from retreating into yourself and your old mote solitary habits.
