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 – The Magician atop Page of Cups Rx – Don’t allow your feelings of newness and inadequacy cause you to forget the tools and skills you’ve learned. You may be tempted to spend on the unnecessary in the week ahead just to chase that dopamine fix. Instead, keep your eye trained on your goals and use the tools you’ve learned to avoid reckless behavior spurred on by emotion.
Air – Four of Wands Rx atop The Hermit Rx – Wallowing at home means unhealthy alone time. It will cloud your mind and stagnate the flow of “fresh air” sensations you’ve been experiencing over the past week or so. Make sure you get out in nature; prioritize that over staying home.
Water – Ace of Cups Rx atop Two of Pentacles Rx – Let go of new emotions this week time n stead of holding onto them. You don’t need to juggle them nor to bury them. Just acknowledge that they are there and let them go as unimportant.
Fire – Seven of Wands – Stick to your guns this week. As other readings have mentioned (yesterday), people are going to be pushing at your boundaries in ways that disrespect your personal values. Make sure you are facing that opposition head on. Now is not the time to concede.
Waning – Tree and House – This is a reiteration of the Air position earlier in this reading. Staying home is not where healthy can be found this week. No stagnation allowed.
Waxing – Dog and Lily – Lean into Gideon; share with him and enjoy your time with him. Prioritize his advice, for he has your best interests at heart, even above his own.
Take Away – In order to perpetuate the fresh shift in the air this last week and keep it going, you need to make sure to facilitate movement. Go outside. Move instead of languishing. Make sure that you aren’t wallowing when you could be not just moving, but breathing in fresh air.
This is the first week in a few that you have not been warned about avoiding agreements and contracts, but there is mention of making sure that you uphold your boundaries and prioritize your values over the urge for peaceful resolutions.
Some heavy emotions may wind their way through your awareness this week. Make sure that you aren’t letting them stick and weigh you down, nor burying them to ‘deal with later’. Instead, remember that they aren’t important and to let them go once you’ve acknowledged them.
