One Word Book Title Prompt for November 7th : Kindred

Today’s draw is the Seven of Swords combined with the affirmation “A person doesn’t have to be bad to be bad for you.”

If they steal your joy, or make you feel alone… that is enough of a reason for them to not be allowed to be a part of your life.

That saying “Life’s too short”?  It’s true.  Not everyone is a perfect match.  Why force yourself to spend your precious time on people who just aren’t a good fit for you.  Even if you want them to, sometimes things just don’t fit.

Life is better when these people are no longer stealing your joy.  Let them go on their way and find others that bring you joy instead.

Prompt for November 7th : What unseen fire within me is fueling my choices and shaping my path forward?

Reading Summary: You seek out harmony and balance (Harmony) through your efforts to be nurturing to yourself and others (Nurture) while following your intuition and inner moral compass (Insight).

Take Away: You have a passionate need for things to “feel right” while at the same time balancing a need to nurture others (and yourself).

It’s in seeking this balance between these two needs where you find the fire that fuels your drive concerning the choices you make that shape your path forward.  You need and want both in your life, and in seeking out and finding it is where you really feel like you shine brightest.

Question for November 7th : Advice you need to hear at this time concerning your personal happiness.

Reading Summary: When you spend too much time behind the protection of unhealthy defenses (Nine of Wands Rx), it leads you to a place of scarcity where happiness is difficult to find (Five of Pentacles). Happiness (Ten of Cups) is a choice that you make (Seven of Cups).

Take Away: In order to find true personal happiness, you need to be able to let down your defenses and allow others in.  Where your defense mechanisms rearing up to get in the way is often out of your control, the lowering of them is a conscious act.  A choice that allows others to step in and get closer and provide assistance in finding those moments of happiness and joy.

Question for November 7th : What self-care do I need today?

Sweet Orange Tree – Purification of the mind, body, and spirit combined with a healthy dose of Vitamin C to bolster your immune system.

Cattleya Orchid – Time with Gideon is a must. He helps keep you uplifted, and you do the same for him. He needs that lift this year, and in giving it to him you will give yourself a lift as well.

Pineapple – A symbol of welcome and hospitality, this card encourages doing what needs done to make your home feel welcoming.  Although it is  your work place, it is also your refuge. Make sure you take care of any impediments to that sense of welcome you feel when you walk in the door.  Also… again.  Vitamin C is stressed here.

Take Away: There is a prevailing call high levels of vitamin C in these cards (I swear to you that orange is not a prevailing color in this deck) speaking of a need to continue with your autoimmune boosters for the time being, as well as do the preventative maintenance needed to keep yourself healthy (ie: getting your flu shot and vaccines done).

Other self-care actions to take today include making sure you get some time with Gideon in order to bolster both your moods, and taking some time to clean and organize where it feels things in your home have gotten out of control.
