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 Emperor – Take time this week to make sure all is right in your “kingdom”. You have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders, and it’s time to check in to make sure that you are gearing your priorities towards the greater good, rather than your own selfish pursuits.
Air – Five of Pentacles Rx – Not all scarcity is “in your head”. Some of it is very real. Be sure to reflect this week upon which feelings of scarcity are based on reality, and which are simply the habitual message of your negative inner narratives. Only then will you know which need your attention and care.
Water – Nine of Swords – Allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by fear is not going to be at all productive. Like the advice in the Air position above, you need to take a realistic look at what you’re flinching away from, which fears are unfounded, and where they are driving you.
Fire – Queen of Cups – Now is not the time to shut down your emotions. When they rise up, instead of avoiding them, take time to examine them. In doing so, you nurture your ability to see them more clearly in the process. Not dealing with them will be harmful to you.
Waning – Sanctuary and Ascent – Your comfort zone is not the place to hide away in this week. No growth can take place when you’re stuck in stagnancy. Keep moving instead, even if it’s uncomfortable or a bit scary.
Waxing – Distill and Sage Spiral – Pare down to the bare roots of what is real and what is not, and cleanse away the illusions to give room for healthy themes to flourish.
Take Away – It’s time to deal with the unknown, and clear away any illusions that you are entertaining that may be stirring up fear and worry. Only deal with the truth this week, and reject assumptions and worries without substance.
