One Word Book Title Prompt for November 3rd : Becoming

Today’s draw is the Four of Swords combined with the affirmation “It’s good that you are in the world.”

In both images here, we have not just a figure resting, but resting belly up.  For a cat, this is a sign of pure and complete trust for having the belly exposed is a huge vulnerability for them.  For a person, it’s the opposite. You rest in this position, but you are best on your guard, for it’s exposing one’s back that is a representation of vulnerability.

This connection in both cards speaks to me of what you can become if you allow yourself to trust that rest and recovery is truly a part of life.  Integral and important, instead of something to be ashamed of or feel guilty about.  When you release yourself from this guilt, you give yourself permission to no longer be on guard and truly relax… to truly  -be- in the world, instead of on guard of it.

Prompt for November 3rd : Do Spread 1
Question : What influence does each of these themes have in your life?

Fate – Restless – Healthy rest is an imperative to a happy life. Death is the end of this journey, but not the end of you. Instead, death is a time to reset, reevaluate, see where you have failed in the lessons you were meant to learn in this life, and prepare for the next cycle to begin.

Destiny – Torn – Your only destiny is growth and transformation. You are meant to make choices in order to develop and grow as a person. This will be the theme of any path you choose to move forward upon.

Chance – Anxiety – Chance is the herald of each lesson you learn and each step in personal growth you take along life’s path. It throws things onto the path you choose to force disruption and demand you move beyond discomfort and fear to make the choices that in turn make up who you become over time.

Questions for November 2nd and 3rd

In what area of life am I struggling to acknowledge the sweetness?

Eight of Wands atop The Tower Rx; She is Moonlight Shy – You are not reacting well to the sudden changes that have been going on this season. It’s difficult for you to acknowledge the sweetness and positive aspects of these changes while you are feeling so much uncertainty, and you feel like you’re not being given enough time to adjust.

How can I shift my focus to start to see those blessings?

Six of Swords; Spells from the Hearth – Embrace moving away from the things that are no longer working and no longer healthy for you. That is what this period of change is all about. Seek comfort and refuge in what is familiar, but only when what is familiar is taking you to somewhere better than where you currently are.
