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 – Eight of Cups – Runaway brides often bolt because of nerves. Make sure when you are feeling like bolting (or balking) that you know what it is creating that feeling in you. Examine and explore the underlying cause instead of just going with your knee jerk reaction.

Air – Eight of Pentacles – Spiders have spectacular dexterity due to their eight spindly legs. It allows them to grasp onto many things at once, and is the key to their skills at web building. Don’t let self doubt turn what are your greatest skills into moments of doubt. Stay confident in your innate abilities.

Water – Seven of Wands – Life is not a challenge where every little thing you believe and do needs defended. Make sure that your emotions are in check so that you aren’t put on the defensive when there’s no need.

Fire – Ace of Pentacles atop Four of Cups – Just because you are feeling ambivalent about the upcoming holiday rush doesn’t mean it’s not important. Make sure to keep your priorities straight.

Waning – Key and Tower – It’s safe to let down your guard for a bit. Come down off the watch tower for now and you can go back up there later.

Waxing – Ring and Clover – Now is an excellent time to look at contracts and make new commitments. It’s time to sign some papers while good fortune is on your side.

Take Away – There’s lots here about looking at personal motivations and not letting self doubt cause you to stray off path. Trust yourself and step away from drama. And get your ass to the bank to get those papers signed this week.
