Aura Golden Kingdom Tarot's Ten of Cups and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Ten of Cups combined with the affirmation “I don’t care what your mind says; you deserve to be happy.”

The Ten of Cups is all about happiness.  The thing is? It’s not about happiness alone and on your own. It’s not about self satisfaction or self-contentment. It’s about finding happiness and sharing that happiness with others.

The cards for today are a reminder that the best kinds of happiness are those you share with those you love. And those that aren’t willing to share your happiness with you?  Well, they’re simply not worth your time and energy. Don’t let toxic people make you feel you don’t deserve to be happy, but instead go after that happiness and share it with those that truly feel you -deserve- to be happy and are happy to share in it with you.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2023 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question for August 7th : Are you more of a dreamer or a believer?

Magical Creatures Tarot - Queen of Wands, Judgement, StrengthReading Summary: You are a dreamer at heart, but (Queen of Wands Rx) you are worried over the judgments of others (Judgement) which makes you balance it out with more practicality than you perhaps would like (Strength).

Take Away: You are both.  Although a dreamer at heart, you were taught to shoulder heavy responsibilities and make it look easy, which requires a far more logical approach a lot of the time.

This can at times smother out the dreamer side, which always rises again eventually to become a part of your life once more.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity
Aragonite for Truth and Understanding
Mookaite for Help with Weighing One’s Options
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

DECK USED: MAGICAL CREATURES TAROT

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Flowers

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt: Pull (at least) three cards and use them to respond to… “One day, wandering on city streets, you find a small garden set off the street and apparently open to all. Inside the garden, you sit on a bench, and after a few quiet moments, the flowers begin to speak to you. What do they say? Do you talk to them? What do you talk about?”

Are You In The Room Tarot - Eight of Cups, Six of Wands, Magician, Ace of DiscsSome of the flowers speak of how they feel stuck and frustrated by the roots that hold them in one place when there is so much more in the world they want to see. (Eight of Cups Rx)

Others speak of an eagerness to travel and grow, and of their seeds soon to be set loose to propagate far and wide. (Magician atop Ace of Discs).

I speak with them all, listening to their thoughts and worries, dreams and fears, encouraging them to see the choices they are limited to as a boon of abundance rather than restrictive and limiting. (Dog and His Bones)
