Les Voyageurs du Bonheur Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the “I make a Wish” Well-Being card combined with the affirmation “You deserve the same kindness and patience you show others.”

My wish is that I could and would and will treat myself with the same patience and kindness that I give to others. It’s a good wish, and one that I’m working on, although with only minor incremental success thus far.

Still, I’ll keep trying.  I’ll keep trying and at some point? I’ll find that balance between giving myself kindness and patience… and staying motivated toward my goals as I do so.  I won’t give up on this. It’s important.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2023 Challenge Prompt
Questions for August 17th and 19th :

Fat Folks Tarot - King of Pentacles, The Moon, The Lovers, Ace of CupsWhat unresolved angst is my inner adolescent still holding onto?

The Lovers and Ace of Cups – There is still a lot of uncertainty when it comes to healthy expression of your emotions. The emotional intelligence that you normally would’ve learned in your adolescent years, you didn’t get the chance to learn. You’re trying to learn it now and there’s a good deal of struggle involved, which causes your inner adolescent a great deal of angst.

How can I help my inner adolescent to let go of their unresolved angst?

King of Pentacles and The Moon – Reinforce feelings of stability in other parts of your life to help you deal with your feelings of uncertainty where your emotions are concerned. That’s stability can help alleviate some of that unresolved angst that you’re inner adolescent feels. It’s easier to feel vulnerable when you can acknowledge that you are in a safe place.

🌕 Full Moon in Aquarius – August 2024

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Today is the full 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 @Lionharts #theaugusttarot.

Full Moon in Aquarius Tarot Reading with the Little Bird Tarot and Animal Spirits of the Sacred Isles Oracle

How can I embrace my inner rebel during this Full Moon?

The High Priestess and Toad – Don’t allow irritation pull you off your intuition’s voice.  You need to listen to that inner knowing and do what -you- know is right rather than allowing others to badger, bug, or otherwise harass you into taking a path you know in your gut is not right for you.

What steps can I take to break free from restrictive patterns?

Eight of Cups and Snake – When something doesn’t feel right, don’t stick around just because others expect you to or you expect yourself to bear it out. Instead, look for those toxic things in your life, and as they come to your attention get rid of them… even when those might actually be people.

What change is necessary to pave a new path that aligns with me?

Eight of Swords and Salmon – You need to open your eyes and start working on seeing your environment with more clarity, rather than hiding from the harmful things that are right in front of you that you are choosing to willfully ignore.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Star and Mouse – Make sure you are leaning into positivity and optimism, so that the threat of depression stays in the background instead of coming to the fore.
