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?
Earth – Six of Coins – Be generous with yourself this week. There is no reason to not be, and you need a little more of that self-kindness without the guilt of allowing it dragging on you.
Air – The Star – Make sure you are focusing on training your brain towards positivity and optimism instead of letting the stillness of quiet time drag you under. Balancing out those natural tendencies towards pessimism and negative inner self-talk is important.
Water – Ten of Coins – Take time to revel in your accomplishments and acknowledge the ways in which you support yourself and those close to you. You’ve created far more stability in your life and those around you than you give yourself credit for.
Fire – Temperance – Remember that it’s not time to dive back into the fray yet. This is your week off.
Waning – Calathea – Enjoy this time off while you have it. It won’t last forever and you need to remember that you are allowed periods of rest. Now is a perfect opportunity for that to happen.
Waxing – Dracaena – Focus on finishing your healing journey this week. You are getting over pneumonia, and it’s going to take time. More time than you think it should. You are still on the mend, so give yourself the space to do so fully.
Take Away – This reading is all about enjoying my days off instead of feeling guilty that I’m not working, and making sure that I stay on track with my efforts at leaning into positivity. It is a reminder that my days off are meant to be a time of rest, recovery, and enjoyment. Not guilt and beating myself up for what I’m not getting done.
