Ouroboros Tarot's Eight of CupsThe @GlitterbyInk #MayTag25 Challenge
Celebrating Our Community Prompt for May 12 : Charismatic

Today’s draw is the Eight of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of withdrawal, abandonment, or letting go of things, situations, or people in your life that are just not working out for you emotionally.

Just because someone or something seems appealing doesn’t mean that it is meant for you or emotionally healthy for you.  This can be true whether it’s an outfit you see in a store window, a person you meet at a party, a food that looks (or even is) delicious but unhealthy for you, etc.

The message in today’s card is a reminder to not cling to those things that aren’t meant for you. No matter how appealing they seem, its important to have the self-awareness to know that even when something appeals, it’s not a good fit for you personally and will, in the long run, only end up causing frustrations or discomfort.

Oracle Reading with the Plant Magic! OracleWhat can I let go of to move forward?

Bonsai – Excess work. Meticulousness. Perfectionism. High maintenance people and over-maintenance in your endeavors.

If you want to slip free of where you are now and into a better place, you need to be able to say no, and be willing to let go of perfection and half-ass things when the responsibility for others becomes too much.

How can I clarify my thoughts?

Monstera – Understand that the thoughts that run through your head are often reactionary and built upon habit. You can respect yourself by providing support for your thoughts, rather than letting them run rampant with negativity. Feed your thoughts positivity and optimism to fertilize growth in the direction you want your thoughts to go. In doing so you offer room not just for growth, but greater mental clarity as well.

What are my most important values and beliefs?

Witch Hazel – Meditation really can make a difference in your life if you let it. You really do need alone time away from others. It’s in these practices that you are able to develop and maintain a calm center within yourself, and thus the peace and serenity needed to deal with the chaos of day-to-day life.

Other elements included in this reading:

Daily Self Kindness

This is a catch up post, and I’m not entirely sure what the self kindness was for this day.

Today is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is courtesy of Ethony

Full Moon in Scorpio Oracle Reading with the Mewni Tarot, Hear Here Oracle, and Hear Here Home Oracle

Where in my life can I seek deeper meaning?

True Love and Bloom – Lean into the love you share with your partner and the connection you have with them. It is through this relationship you can find deeper meaning in life and what you are doing here in the world. This person above all others is the person in your life that helps to shine a light on your purpose and the qualities in yourself that you tend to otherwise miss. So let that connection bloom and shine brightly.

What shallow shit needs to stop?

Death, Expand, Heal – Stop looking at change as something to avoid and run away from. It’s really not that scary. Instead, try to look at change as an opportunity to expand from where you are now and heal from the things that you are leaving behind.

What instincts do I need to trust?

The Hungry One and Create – If you’re not getting what you need, maybe it’s time to consider “growing your own”. There are times in life when those things you need cannot be provided for you. Instead, you need to create opportunity and fulfill your needs on your own. If you feel the need to create something new? It’s time to look at why you’re feeling that need, and what this creative endeavor will end up fulfilling for you and your life.

What relationships do I need to tend to?

Princess and Ground – Those relationships in your life that are high maintenance are in need of a reality check. Bring their expectations back down to earth instead of trying to comply with their demands.

How can I express my sensual side?

The Hanging Cat and Open – Seek a new perspective, and be open to experimentation.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Battle Strength and Invigorate – Be ready. Make sure that you are alert, aware, and motivated to move when the time comes to do so. Now is not the time to let things you can prevent from doing so catch you by surprise.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Rhododendron Leaf for Fostering Confidence
Goat Figurine as Sympathetic Representation of Amalthea
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration, Clarity, and Determination
Carnelian Agate for Inner Drive and Focusing On One’s Aspirations
