September 13

Five of Wands – There are always going to be conflicts in the process of working together with others. We all have separate opinions, methods, and techniques that we feel are better than the rest. Just make sure that you don’t allow others to bully you into feeling like you’re not doing enough. If they want more done than you’re ready to deal with? Tell them to do it themselves instead of butting heads with them about it.

Today’s meditation was nine minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The High Priestess – “Your speed doesn’t matter, forward is forward”, and sometimes? Your progress is being made out of your view and without you being aware of it.  Just because it feels like you’re going at a snail’s pace doesn’t mean things aren’t happening, only that things are happening that you’re not aware of at the time. Have patience, and allow things to develop at their own pace.  You’ll become aware of that which is hidden from you eventually when the time is right.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Ace of Cups – Don’t allow your emotions to run away with you and cause you to feel that things are worse of than they are or that you are worse off than you really are. Life has proven to you again and again that you are stronger than you believe yourself to be and will weather the storms that roll through just fine.  Adapt and be flexible instead of standing rigid against the wind.

Relief Incoming?

Autumn is a promise
whispered on the wind
as temperatures rise
once again
and we all wait
with bated breath
for the leaves to turn
in a vibrant death
and the earth to ease
into sleep
and the weather to cool
and air to smell sweet
like rainy days
and earthy decay
as finally the heat
is waved away

Levity and Mirth

Step into the restroom
and what do I see?
a silly old cow
staring at me
with bright blue eyes
and a fuzzy mustache
ice cream cone hands
and a lot of panache
I try to relax
as I snigger and laugh
while trying to whizz
and holding my staff
cuz that silly cow
can’t help but stare
as he hangs on the wall
with his ass in the air

Today is the new 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 courtesy of dryaddin.

How is my relationship with my job right now?

Giantkiller atop Scholar – You just remembered the other day that you haven’t been keeping up logging your tax information. You know you’ll crush it on catching up though, when it’s time. You’ll just have to put your mind and determination to it.

What life aspect needs more organization in this moment?

Chasm – Get on top of adding structure and organization to those things that help you to stave off and mitigate your depressive episodes. You can make sure you fit in what you need if you build the room for it into your day that you know you need.

What services can I give to the community for my own spiritual development?

High Tide – Work on your boundaries. It may not seem like a service to others, but it absolutely is.

What health aspects should I pay attention to at this time?

Memory – Your negative self narrative affects every aspect of your life including your physical well-being. Make sure you are stepping up with those methods that help you combat those negative inner thoughts.

How can I improve my self-healing skills?

Vampire – Look for those in your life that are tapping into your energy, and do what’s needed to make sure your boundaries are in place to keep those unhealthy influences to a minimum.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Driftwood – Stay alert and aware for warning signs and dangerous situations.

The Ache

I reach for you
with tendrils
of energy
delicate threads
that seek
to tangle with yours
as the ache
within my soul
becomes too much
and tears threaten
to bring rainclouds
to the fore
instead
of blue skies
