Today’s draw is the Ace of Cups combined with the affirmation “Today look intimidating, but it hasn’t faced YOU yet.”

Well, I definitely can’t say that I wasn’t fierce as hell today, but the problem lies in the fact that that fierceness was turned in the wrong direction.

Emotions are hard.  New emotions and the vulnerability of that newness? Horribly terrifying.  The problem with all this “hard” and “terrifying”?  It causes the defenses to rise, triggering tried and true defense mechanisms that may not necessarily be healthy.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder to make sure that you are directing those defense mechanisms where they need to go, instead of letting them just snap out at anything and everything, or turn inward on yourself.

DECK USEDS:  THE PULP GIRLS TAROT AND IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY 2024 DAY-TO-DAY CALENDAR BY KATE ALLAN

@tarot_juf Een Uitnodiging voor de herfst #SeptemberTarotChallenge
Prompt for September 11th and 12th

This is how I can protect myself against the rising cold.

Ten of Pentacles and King of Wands – Use the energy and enthusiasm of your passions to drive yourself in the direction of your goals and the stability that you crave in your life.

In the misty mornings, what is hidden from me behind a veil of uncertainty?

Page of Pentacles and Nine of Pentacles – When you are feeling uncertain, it’s difficult for you to see and acknowledge your accomplishments for the successes that they are.

Side Note: I’m really not a fan of this deck. It’s extremely hard to read. The guide that comes with the deck is decent if you’re a fan of Charles Dickens, but in my opinion, the cards themselves are… horrible to read from.

DECK USED: THE CHARLES DICKENS TAROT

I ate on a schedule.
