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 – King of Cups atop The Sun – Time with Gideon is going to be essential this week, and physical contact is important. Make sure to avoid further subdrops in order to keep things light and happy, and get the most out of this time with him.

Air – Two of Pentacles – Don’t stew on one thing to the deficit of other things in your life. Slipping into flow state feels really good, but when you sink so deeply into a singular focus you neglect everything else. Now’s not the time for that.

Water – Death – Don’t fight. Don’t fight against your current subdrop, and don’t fight against the shifting emotions you experience. Everything is temporary, and the key is to acknowledge and move with the shifts and changes, not to resist them and fight a losing battle to keep things stagnant.

Fire – Ace of Wands Rx – No new projects this week, and as noted in the Air position already in this reading, no sinking into flow state. Work on getting done some of the things that you aren’t entirely enthusiastic about and get them out of the way.

Waning – Coffin and Man – Put to bed the need to project common male stereotypical behavior. It’s a defense mechanism. It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay for people to -see- that you are vulnerable.

Waxing – Scythe and Tower – This is the resurfacing of a warning on repeat from earlier in the year. Watch closely those around you, and quickly purge from your life those that are not healthy for you.

Take Away – Be vulnerable and allow the subdrop to run its course instead of trying to smother it or ignore it.

Lean into others you trust, and stay far away from those that don’t have your best interests at heart this week.

Work on prep for the holiday rush that you’ve been putting off and get it done.
