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 – The Hermit – Do what you need to do to get some healthy alone time this week. You have time off, and there aren’t a lot of obligations going on to get in your way.
Air – Justice – Remember that you get what you give. If you’re going to doomscroll, then you’re going to be feeling anxious and down. Work on focusing your mind and attention on things that have the result of lifting you up and making you feel empowered instead.
Water – The High Priestess – Listen to the inner tides of your emotions as they ebb and flow, rather than trying to lock them away and ignore them. You need to look within this week and get in touch with what you have been avoiding by touching base with your innermost ken and dealing with it head-on.
Fire – The Chariot – Take care, even if you take time off , that you don’t relax your grip on the reigns. Keep a watchful eye on the direction things are going so that even during times of rest, you are able to steer your passions and objectives in the direction you want to go.
Waning – Stork and Rider – Magical thinking. Remember that things have to move at their own pace. There’s no way to usher everything to move faster, or hurry along the changes currently taking place.
Waxing – Bouquet and Scythe – Remember that sometimes gifts given come at a heavy cost. Not everyone is honest in their intentions when they’re being nice to you. Keep a close eye on other’s motivations.
Take Away – Alone time is important during your time off this week. Make sure that you are giving yourself the rest you need and keeping things healthy in your choices of activities and practices. Let go of the rush and just allow things to move at their own pace. Holding onto the reigns doesn’t mean slapping the horse’s ass with them, it just means you don’t run off the road.
