Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the King of Torches (Wands) combined with the affirmation “I am confident and full of smiles.”

Today, I get to see someone that I really enjoy… and a bunch of other people that I absolutely do not.

The cards drawn for today are a reminder to keep your focus trained upon those things that inspire you and build you up, and let the rest slide off your back like raindrops of a slicker.

Smile.  Be confident.  Show those that are unkind that their opinions and snide comments don’t matter by allowing your  joy for those things that you actually like to shine through. By doing this, you make their own negativity feel small, petty, and insignificant as a result.  The bonus in this whole thing?  Not only do these behaviors become insignificant to you… but they will feel that insignificance as well.

@Lionharts #TheOctoberTarot Season of the Witch Prompt
Question for October 26th : With roots that stretch through time’s old tree, what blessing is passed down to me?

Reading Summary: You may not find the news that comes your way (4A) to be a blessing, but there is a boon to be had in the news to come.

Make sure when you go (8A) that you take the ferry (5E).  Note: These two cards came out together and felt like a change of subject.  Normally I would have read them with the first, but that didn’t feel right.

Take Away: Although you are not sure where you are going, as the “news” coming your way hasn’t reached yet arrived, these cards indicate that whatever this news is, at first glance it’s going to suck and you’re not going to be happy about it.

On reflection, though, you will see the benefit that the news holds.

Make sure that you take the ferry on the way home today instead of driving the whole way.

#DiscordTarotholicsOct2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for October 26th : Creaky Hinge : What doors in your life need unlocked to open up for new opportunities?

Reading Summary: Don’t despair (Three of Ravens/Swords) over the uncertainty you are feeling (The Moon) concerning recent changes that have recently landed in your lap (The Tower Rx).

Take Away: It may feel like the end of the world, but it’s not. Recovery will come. The chaos is temporary.  Take a breath and pull yourself out of the panic mindset.

In order to keep from lingering in the chaos longer than necessary, you have to let go of the catastrophizing going on in  your head so that you can move forward more easily.

@HealingThruTarot’s #httOctoberTarotChallenge2024 Prompt
Prompt for October 26th : Where to direct the energy bubbling up.

Reading Summary: Reinforce your wards (Seven of Wands).

Also, ensure that the focus you are putting on your business and passion projects is not being wasted (Queen of Wands Rx) by an effort to ignore the facts of the matter (Eight of Swords).

Take Away: Okay so business is in the shitter right now.  There’s really no other way to put it. You love making jewelry.  You love making beautiful things that people wear, and that in wearing make them feel more beautiful in turn.

But… business is slow right now and the economy is crap at the moment.  People are worried about affording food and other necessities, which makes buying pretty things more difficult at the moment. Don’t panic… just wait and pay attention to different opportunities to improve things when they come your way.  Keep your eyes and ears open.

Also, take some of that anxious energy and use it to your advantage. It’s time to reinforce your wards.

I took the advice of the card of the day above and smiled even when I didn’t want to.  I feel like it shouldn’t have helped, but… it actually kinda did.
