Today’s meditation was skipped.

Jupiter Power Tarot's Three of Pentacles and the Cozy Comfort Cards for Sad and Anxious MomentsToday’s draw is the Three of Pentacles combined with the affirmation “You are good enough.”

A lot of times when asking for help, it’s hard not to feel like we’ve failed because we couldn’t do whatever it is on our own.  I struggle with this feeling a lot, and I know I’m not alone in this.

The thing is?  People aren’t meant to do everything alone and on their own.  It’s when we combine forces that we really shine, as each person brings a different element to the table and when those elements, skills, and expertise are combined? Magic happens.

Asking for help doesn’t mean that you’re not enough. It means you appreciate what other people bring to the table and have to offer.

Question: Why is my top side sparking so hot right now?

Lauren Marx Art Postcard Set and Jupiter Power Tarot - The Magician, The Tower, King of Cups, King of WandsReading Summary: You are feeling less like everything is falling apart [the tangled grass is a color match with The Tower reversed; although the  grasses are tangled, they are not restraining the roseate spoonbill settled upon them] and more interconnected with Gideon than ever [King of Cups;  here again we see a connection between the pattern of movement in the roots of the face, and in the grass, connecting the roots to the foundation that the bird stands upon so that it can feed as needed and get what it needs] which sparks your passions [King of Wands], and allows you to feel empowered [The Magician, combined with that The Magician flower faces forward into the future].

Take Away: This roleplay character you are using at the moment and the current play makes you feel very secure in yourself. In many ways, he’s a lot like you, which allows you to pull out those inner urges that are usually suppressed and share them openly with Gideon at this time.

I took time to unwind and breathe after a very stressful situation earlier in the day.

Forest FloorSoggy Ground

Let’s go
on an adventure
where forest floor
squishes
under wet leaves
and pine needles
drip
crystalline drops
to cling
in our hair
as we wander
into the
deep dark woods
and get lost
in nature’s embrace

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a 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 Lover's Path Tarot and Tales for Tomorrow Petit Lenormand

Earth – Eight of Arrows (Swords) Rx – Take care of the things that you need to take care of instead of turning the blind eye because you don’t wanna look or be bothered. Make those calls that you don’t want to make and deal with the issues lingering on the edge of your plate before they become detrimental to you.

Air – Triumph (The World) Rx – Instead of looking at your end goal this week, take time to really examine where you’re at right now and suss out what’s being hidden from you (that sharp hook hidden behind her back in the card).

Water – Four of Cups – Don’t forget to do your meditation. It’s important to your emotional well-being. Make sure that you aren’t avoiding doing it out of a desire for languishing instead.

Fire – King of Cups Rx – You are not full of wisdom when it comes to how other people are feeling, so take care not to act as if you are just because you want to help. You’re barely able to understand your own emotions most of the time.

Waning – Anchor and Child – That fun loving kid inside you needs some freedom. Stop holding him down. It’s okay to give into flights of fancy every once in a while.

Waxing – Snake and Stork – Keep in mind that that snake in the grass might actually bring with it a boon. Instead of focusing on all the crap ass things it brings with it, train your attention on the good stuff it has to offer instead.
