October 13

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

Two of Pentacles – Balance is needed in life in all things.  This includes in how you look at the world, and how you process events.  As your mind is  naturally inclined toward pessimism and negativity, it’s important to make sure that you balance those perspectives with a conscious effort toward positivity and optimism.  Doing so helps the world seem a little brighter, struggles a little lighter, and your worries and fears to appear not quite so scary.

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

The Empress – You can make struggles in life a little easier and recover from them a bit faster if you give yourself the nurturing and care that you need.  Don’t ignore your needs just because you can “power through” without dealing with them. Deal with them instead, and in doing so you won’t need to “power through”, but will be able to glide through more easily instead.

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

Hanged Man – It is difficult to see past one’s defenses when you are feeling vulnerable and bring them up. This makes it hard to see the strength that comes with vulnerability and accepting one’s vulnerability instead of fighting against it. Today’s cards are a reminder that there are all different kinds of strength. Instead of fighting to stay hard and tough all the time, seek out the strength that comes with being soft as well. You don’t have to be hard or cold to be strong. Warmth is just as  strong, just in a completely different way.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Any Means Necessary Tarot and Halloween Lenoracle Mini Deck

Earth – Ten of Cups – Do what makes you happy. Right now is a time to enjoy, not “buckle down”. Take this time to savor life and do the things you enjoy most. That means getting out and hiking and doing things. Don’t just wallow in being at home.

Air – The Star – Lean into positive thinking and hope. You’ve managed to catch that slide into depression’s pit and scramble back to the ledge. Don’t give up, there’s still a bit further to go to get out of the danger zone.

Water – Six of Swords – Leave behind what is no longer serving you. Drama, guilt, and negativity are now in your rear view. Stay ahead of them and don’t invite them back in.

Fire – Two of Wands – Taking action for your business is not meant to be a part of things this week. You can plot and plan for where you want to go, but hold off on diving into work and the business any more than necessary.

Waning – Witch and Scythe – Stick close to the “harm none” adage in your magical practices this week. Save the other stuff for later.

Waxing – Letter and Trick or Treat – Stay aware and careful not to be tricked by scams and hoaxes in the week ahead; especially those that arrive via email or snail mail.
