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 World – Take some time this week to examine your goals and ensure they align with who you are now and who you want to become. Often, we strive toward goals from our past that no longer fit in with who we have grown into since those goals were made. This doesn’t mean that you failed, but rather that you’ve grown beyond them.
Air – Ace of Swords – Take care to communicate clearly and concisely with others this week to cut back on the potential for misunderstandings. If you see signs of confusion in others, stop and explore them instead of plowing on with the expectation they’ll “come around to” understanding.
Water – Three of Pentacles atop Eight of Pentacles – Don’t allow yourself to feel like you’re “in this alone”, whatever the situation may be. Reach out to others for help and support to maximize your potential for success, as well as to set your negative inner narrative straight that you truly aren’t alone after all.
Fire – Justice atop Seed of Pentacles – You can’t squeeze blood out of a stone. Remember that you get out of your endeavors what you put in. Just as it took effort to get the ball rolling, so will it take effort to keep it going. Especially during times when you’re stuck trying to roll it uphill.
Waning – Plasma Ball and Mice – Be proactive at shining a spotlight on dishonesty from others. Don’t just let it go when you see their lies so clearly. Now is the time to call them out on it when it occurs.
Waxing – Poppet and Fly Agaric – Don’t let others control you with their judgments. Autonomy is important and you need to make sure you’re practicing it in spades right now instead of letting other people run you ragged.
Take Away – If you want something, go for it, and don’t let others tell you no or try to toss obstacles in your way. Their bullshit is not your problem, so call them out on it and keep moving. A little aggression is needed this week to get things back on track and done.
