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 – Two of Cups – Those that are closest to you and love you are ready to step in and help. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by, but instead accept the help that they are offering. Soon enough, you’ll be drowning in work, and their help now can stave off that feeling a bit longer.
Air – Two of Wands Rx – Don’t worry about planning ahead this week, for either there will be changes somewhere along the way that are going to get in the way your best laid plans, or whatever it is you feel the need to plan and plot for is going to end up taking care of itself.
Water – Six of Cups – Play “memory lane” games with loved ones this week, as you will find them both enjoyable and uplifting.
Fire – Ten of Swords – Things are turning around with your business now that autumn is starting to approach. As things pick up, you’re going to feel as if it’s too much and you’re being put upon. Make sure you’re continuing to give yourself times of rest and recovery, or that option will be taken out of your hands.
Waning – Rider and Fox – These cards are an echo of the Air position earlier in this reading. You don’t need clever planning or any plan in place at all to get up and go… because you’re not going to be getting up and going. So just don’t worry about it.
Waxing – Woman and Birds – Connect with others and don’t be shy about chitchatting. These cards reflect up to the Water position earlier in this reading and encourage connecting with the women in your life for those “memory lane” experiences this week.
Take Away – Spend a bit of extra time talking with the woman in your life this week. Especially those that have memories of your childhood to share.
Don’t worry about making plans, for they are just going to be thwarted anyway. Winging it will be fine, as you adjust on the fly far more easily when you’re winging it than when you have a plan in place.
As things pick up with your business, make sure that you are still giving yourself the rest and recovery you need. Facilitate this by allowing others to help you rather than taking everything on your own shoulders.
