Affirmation Prompt for April 7th: I Nourish…

Squid Cake Marseille Tarot - King of CoinsKing of Coins – I nourish stability.

You nourish stability in your own life, as well as the lives of those around you.

You need a certain amount of stability in your life. You need to fee that you are secure and stable enough to look into the future feeling steady and sure of your place.

Others find this sense of stability (that in all honesty, you generate and nurture for yourself) appealing and safe. In turn, they too feel stable and your presence in their lives helps nurture that sense of stability for them as well.

#DiscordTarotholicsApr2024 Challenge Prompt
Prompt for April 7th: Do Spread 1
With everything going on in the world these days, our friends, family, and loved ones are holding a great deal more significance in present days than perhaps they have been in the past.

Focus on a relationship that is important to you, whether that relationship be a friendship, a family member, or a loved one. Then, use the spread below to explore how you can improve upon that relationship.

1999 Bizarre Summer LenormandWhat does this person need less of from you?

Tower and Ring – They need less of you withdrawing from your commitments to them. You feel you are doing this to protect yourself, as these defense mechanisms are deeply ingrained within you. But, in truth, it just makes you more alone… and does the same to them as well.

What does this person need more of from you?

Lily and Ship – Sensual trips. They need more time with you on an intimate level. Time spent together in close contact. Time spent “traveling” together, instead of apart. Time creating worlds and a future together, one step forward at a time.

What in this relationship is being entirely neglected?

Clover and Mice – These cards are about the corrosive power of putting all of your faith in luck. You can’t get more time with this person just by thinking it’s going to fall into your lap. Instead, you need to plan and strategize so that you can fit it in more consistently, and then use that structured approach to reinforce stability in the relationship.

@Lionharts #TheAprilTarot Mercury Musing Prompt
Question for April 7th: What can I establish with giving myself this month to reflect in solitude?

Squid Cake Marseille Tarot - Six of Batons, Five of Batons, Eight of Cups, The DevilReading Summary: Giving yourself this month to “reflect in solitude” will allow you to step back (Eight of Cups) from the inner turmoil (Five of Batons) that you feel when you are tempted (The Devil) to people please (Six of Batons).

Take Away: As tempting as it sometimes is, people pleasing, is not your strong suit.

Having some time to reflect on yourself in your journey this month can allow you to better identify when you were falling into these bad habits, and give you the opportunity to step back before it becomes an inner struggle of should you or shouldn’t you.

🌑 New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Aries – April 2024

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Tomorrow 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

New Moon Solar Eclipse Oracle Reading with The Naked Truth Oracle

Space – What parts of my life should I be prepared to re-assess and shift during this eclipse cycle?

Retreat – You just did a reading earlier about how you have been using your alone time in unhealthy ways lately. This card indicates that you need to take that advice to heart, and look at how you are retreating and why, rather than letting yourself do so in thoughtlessly unhelpful and unhealthy ways.

Lunar Gift – What is emerging from within me that will challenge my sense of who I am?

Impede – If you are open to listening, you can learn more about yourself during this time. These transformative informational things about yourself can help you become a better person, and more aware of yourself and your surroundings, as well as how you influence others and the world.

Growth – How will this help me grow over the next six months?

Haughty – It can help you in learning how to react in less ego driven ways to the world around you. Allowing you to listen more, understand more, and cram your foot in your mouth less.

Understanding – Why is now the right time for this particular emergence?

Dispute – It can help you in being prepared for future upcoming conflicts. By resolving these issues now and becoming more self aware, you can head off “fight or flight” responses that might otherwise emerge in the moment later on.

Care – How can I best support myself when things get uncomfortable?

Break Out – Remember that you are not trapped. You have choices, and by thinking outside the box, you have more choices yet.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Wary – Pay attention to your surroundings and watch for the snake in the grass. They are about to strike, but you can circumvent their efforts and plans by staying alert and aware.
