#DailyTrip with the Calm Tarot - Premsiri Lewin quoteToday’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #DailyTrip sessions from the Calm app.  Today’s session addressed the difference between standing by and watching as others struggle or go through problems, vs spending time with them and giving them space in your company, showing them even just by giving them your time, that you are there with them.

It discussed how big a difference it makes in others lives to simply share space with someone, and how supported people can feel in those moments. We don’t need to solve other people’s problems, simply be there to listen and show we care.

Luna's My Melody Tarot's Two of Cups and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Two of Cups combined with the affirmation “No self-hate. You’re too cute for that.”

Sometimes, being easy on oneself isn’t easy at all. In fact, it can feel almost impossible.

Today’s cards are a reminder that during these times when you are struggling to be kind to yourself? It’s time to lean into the influence of others to help you.

Seek out those that love and care about you and let them help in lift you up.  Don’t be shy in asking them for help, even in seeing the good in yourself. Let them tell you all the wonderful things about you that drew them in and keep them around.  That’s what friends are for, and nobody has more experience with those wonderful qualities you can’t quite see yourself than someone who enjoy having you in their life.

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2024 Challenge Prompt
Questions for March 1st and 2nd

Luna's My Melody Tarot - Seven of Cups, Five of Wands, Four of Pentacles, Two of SwordsWhat area of my life is requiring too much sacrifice?

Seven of Cups atop Five of Wands – You are struggling with too much deliberation over too many options. There’s a war going on between what others expect and what you feel is right. Make sure that you fall on the -you- side of the outcome.

What would be a better option or path?

Two of Swords atop Four of Pentacles – Choose stability, even when the decision is difficult and especially when you feel like you don’t have all the information.

Take Away – These cards are a reassurance that I made the right decision in staying home today instead of going north. I’ve had a head cold since Monday (at first, I thought it was allergies hitting off-season for me). I feel a bit guilty not going today, but feel that what I really need right now is more rest to try and force this cold to let go.

I didn’t go to Ms B’s today, but stayed home and rested to try and kick this stupid cold.

Winter BloomsWinter Blooms

Winter blooms
bleached of color
hide in plain sight
among the rocks
and soil
as they wait
for summer sun
that will breathe life
and color
back into the world
and shower
flower petals
with kisses
until they blush

Month End Tarot Reading with the Fairy Tarot

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

Ace of Pentacles – You are working at starting anew in many areas right now. It’s important that you take care to take things one thing at a time, one step at a time.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Strength – Don’t burn your bridges. When you destroy the past, you are severing off a part of yourself as well. You can leave these things behind without being destructive about it.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

The High Priestess – You wish to be wiser about your own life as well as how you share with others, including being more knowledgeable concerning which secrets need holding back and which can be discreetly revealed.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Knight of Pentacles atop Eight of Cups – Again. The temptation to burn bridges has been a long time coming, but it’s not the right choice at this time and will do you more harm than good.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Ten of Cups – Count your blessings well and enjoy them. This especially applies to the people in your life.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Five of Cups Rx – Your pessimistic nature hurts you far more than it helps you. Look at how it has helped to push you into the pit of depression in the past, and use the tools you’ve developed over time to help counteract its influence.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

The Fool atop Ace of Cups – As you move into the month ahead, take time to reflect upon all of the times you have allowed yourself to dive into your emotions and let them spark your enthusiasm. Remember that not all emotions are bad emotions.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Eight of Pentacles – Make sure you aren’t pushing yourself to work too hard. Too much work is not good for you.  Pushing yourself to do more is not the answer.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

The Sun – A happy fun-filled summer. It’s a possibility that’s open to you if you choose to work toward it.  It won’t drop in your lap but will require focus to help it to come about.

Message from the Spirit World – Work at a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life.

Message from the Mind’s World – Sometimes new transplants and new journeys require a gentle touch.

Message from the Physical World – Let go of destructive tendencies, and move forward into a fresh start chasing more joy in your life.
