A Lesson In What Not To Do

The Spirit of Flowers Oracle - Knave of SwordsToday’s meditation was ten minutes long, and although I did it and remember doing it right up until the last few minutes where she starts talking? I fell asleep somewhere near the end and missed whatever the message was completely.

Today’s draw is the Knave (aka Page) of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive omega energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s intelligence, education, thoughts, logic, and communication.

I feel like my little blood sugar scare today pretty much just swallowed my day up whole.  There was a lot of stuff that got done today, and yet… it’s that last little bit that takes over the entirety of the day somehow.  The Knave is about learning, taking past experiences and carrying them forward to begin again.  The message here?  Don’t fall back on old habits… learn from your mistakes and don’t forget them. They’re useful in keeping you healthy and safe.  Let this experience today be a lesson in what not to do.

I just did the card of the day today instead of all the readings I had planned.  A little break.

I miss you when it’s quiet
I miss you when it’s loud
I miss you with
the first breath pulled
through my mouth
and with the exhale
that slides past lips
when eyes close
in the evening
and with every moment
that ticks by
in the measure of a day
I miss you
I need you always.

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. Today’s spread is from moonandcactuss.

Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius Oracle Reading with the Blooming Lovelies Oracle

To go the distance and aim toward my goals – How can I expand and find deeper meaning in my life?

Wear Your Banana – Remember that it’s okay to be silly and have fun sometimes, and it won’t make everything fall apart to do so. Have some fun now and then, seek out your happiness, and continue to work towards leaning into positivity and optimism.

To regain confidence and be true to myself – How can I be reminded of the fire I carry within?

Destiny’s Mask – Go with the flow and foster a mindset of adaptability. Change is not your enemy, but is opportunities rising up before you. Even the most uncomfortable change has potential if you’re open to seizing it.

How can I embrace my newfound fire and flow more easily within this spike of power?

The Cosmic Diet – We are all predators… and we are all prey. Find your balance within the “food chain” of life and claim it unabashedly.

As Eclipse season approaches, what do I need to clear from my life? – In order to lift my vibrations higher.

Absolutely Lovely atop Get High – Set aside your longing for the things you cannot have. There’s plenty to enjoy and savor in your life without wishing for things that are better left alone.

A healing message from this beautiful and optimistic Full Moon.

Dry Your Eyes – Turn away from your negative and pessimistic tendencies. They aren’t healthy for your emotional well-being. When you focus to closely on them, then begin to drag you under. Look up instead.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Yeah, No, Yeah – Cool things happen when you ease up on the reigns. Hesitation is natural… do it anyway.
