The Rosalarian Tarot and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Six of Swords combined with the affirmation “Every time you thought life would defeat you, you were wrong.”

When life contains toxic or harmful things in it, sometimes it can cause us to feel like there’s no way out and no way to keep going.

During those times? It’s time to cut loose toxicity and get rid of those things that are harmful to you.  That is how you continue moving onward and upward.

Toxic or harmful things can often be things we don’t think we can let go of, it’s true. The fact is, though? You can. You have in the past, although it took life giving you a hell of a beating to get to the point you could let go.  This time?  Try letting go before the beating forces your hand.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2023 Challenge Prompt
Philosophical Question for August 14th : Can we understand good without evil?

Animal Apothecary OracleReading Summary: It takes much longer to appreciate the good we see (Small Steps) and requires a disciplined effort (Tame and Attain) to keep one’s head in the sand (Perception).

Take Away: Yes, it is possible to understand good without evil. It isn’t understanding good that is the issue though. Rather, it’s appreciating it’s truly appreciating good when when one has nothing to contrast with it and truly create a sense of gratitude for it.

This is a catch-up post, and unfortunately I don’t remember what my self-kindness might have been for the day.

🎨 Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt  “The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.”

Slavic Legends Tarot - Nine of Swords, Six of Cups, Page of Coins

Scenario 1 – Illona is a constant prankster, but realized that one of their recent pranks went too far. They want to know how to make up with their friend.

The prank you played on your friend has left some lingering uncertainties and fears behind for them that they’re struggling to get over. To effectually reconcile with your friend, you will need to show them how much you value your past with them and that connection between you that was build over time, and allow them to see how bereft you feel with this change in your relationship. They need to feel valued.

Scenario 2 – Grey just got out of a situation where he felt trapped for years. He’s been riding the high of being free, but wants to know what to do with himself now that it’s finally over.

You struggled with feeling trapped for a really long time and it’s absolutely natural to be feeling that high of freedom now that you are free of that situation.

These cards suggest tapping back into old friends and loved ones that may have been left in the rear view over the past few years. There will be times in the future where you’re going to struggle with being alone. Start rebuilding those past connections now to help in mitigating those feelings later on.
