Birds & Flowers Tarot's King of Swords and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the King of Swords combined with the affirmation “The world wouldn’t be right without you in it. Stay.”

Yes, you’re stubborn. Yes, sometimes you have your head stuck up your ass.  You’re a force to be reckoned with, and that’s not a bad thing. People depend on your cleverness and leadership, and that’s also not a bad thing.

Don’t give up just because you aren’t “feeling it” at the moment.  Rest is okay, but retreat is not.  So stand tall and stay… tell the world to wait… but stay.  You can take control and plot your course any way you want to.

So stay… and do that.

Questions for February 28th and 29th

Nature Healing Oracle and Claude Monet Tarot's Knight of Pentacles and Ten of SwordsHow should you go forward with my relationship with myself?

Knight of Pentacles and Raccoon – Go slowly and be kind. Use the slow pace to heal the damage done to you in your past and build yourself up from that “not enough” mindset.

With this extra day, how can I give myself some extra love?

Ten of Swords and Horse – You have reached the end of a difficult journey. Instead of rehashing all the things you did wrong along the way, celebrate your victories, and let the blame game and guilt go.

#DiscordTarotholicsFeb2024 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question for February 28th : Does love necessitate action, or can it exist simply as a feeling?

Birds & Flowers Tarot - Seven of Swords, Six of Cups, Queen of Wands, Nine of PentaclesReading Summary: Sometimes, when we are young (Six of Cups), we feel the need to go after each, and every shred of love and foster them into something great (Queen of Swords), even the ones that really should get away (Seven of Swords). But as we get older, we learn to enjoy being grounded as our emotions speak, and are not so tempted to chase but appreciate instead (Nine of Pentacles).

Take Away: It can simply exist as a feeling, but it usually takes us getting older and more experienced with the world and our emotions at large before we are able to leave it alone and let it just be and exist. When we are young, it’s far too easy to fall into the need to chase it or -do- something about it.

Daily Self Kindness

This is a catch up post, and I’m not entirely sure what the self kindness was for this day.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Queen of Cups

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: “Pull the Queen of Cups card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?“

Queen of Hearts from the Wizard TarotThe Wizard Tarot – For me, the imagery in this particular Queen of Cups is looking like a representation of the reversed meaning.  Between her expression and the pouring of the cup into the water around her, it feels like this card’s sentiment is “cry me a river”.  She appears so very tired of hearing other people’s feelings and emotions, and it feels never ending to her. In a reading, I would interpret this card as asking the querent if they haven’t perhaps been complaining overly much lately, perhaps to one person in their life in general, and suggest mixing things up by giving them some interaction that isn’t centered around unhappy emotions.

Queen of Hearts from the Fairy Tarot, Mythical Creatures Tarot of Orient, and City Labyrinth Tarot

Fairy Tarot – The queen in this card’s imagery reminds me of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.  She has the potential to be warm and sweet, but there’s a cunning in her eyes that makes you wonder what she’s up to. Just as she has that capability of sweet, she has the capability of getting too wrapped up in her own emotions and desires and thus become selfish.  This card asks you to look at those around you that you perceive as being selfish… what is it that they are lacking? What is it they need in order to balance things out and become caring and supportive people again?

The Mythical Creatures Tarot of Orient – Emotions are often chaotic and wild, the clash and bang around like the sea in the imagery of this card, always moving and often violent. And yet, here we see the Queen of Cups holds steady the jade vase, even among the chaos of the storm. Others, smaller and less steady come to her for stability, and she can provide that for them as well. This card promises emotional stability in the face of chaos, and suggests seeking out those in your life that provide that touch stone for you.

City Labyrinth Tarot – Here a woman sits, quiet and reserved with a glass of wine, as if waiting to chat.  I see here an encouragement to share your feelings with those that will listen and be emotionally supportive to you. Sometimes, the easiest way to sort out one’s feelings is to talk about them with someone else.
