The @GlitterbyInk #JulyJoy25 Challenge
Celebration of Joy Prompt for July : Opportunity
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Six of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of charity, generosity, sharing the wealth, asking for or accepting help, and balancing the scales between the “haves” and the “have nots” in life.

It can sting at our pride and cause us to think that others don’t see us as capable of handling things on our own when an offer of help is given. Sometimes, this makes it difficult to see an offer of help as anything other than an insult to our capabilities.

What these offers are truly doing, though, is providing you with opportunity. Opportunity to have more time or more money or more resources for more fun, or more time with loved ones, or more self indulgence.

Accepting help, therefore, becomes a strength; it allows you to enjoy life more by “spreading the load” through delegation and diversification. Could you do it all yourself? Yes. Of course you could. But accepting help allows you to get it done faster and/or easier so that you then have the energy and time to do something else entirely.

The message in today’s card is a reminder that accepting help isn’t an insult to your capabilities; it’s an invitation and an opportunity to both fill your time with something better and not exhaust yourself so that you can enjoy life more.

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2025 Challenge
Prompt for July 1st : Do the Third Quarter Spread

Year Ahead Theme : Temperance

Moderation is the name of the game this year.  Take care not to move too fast or go overboard in the grand scheme of things. Remember that even things that are healthy and good for you can turn bad if taken in excess.

Theme for July : Page of Cups

July will be a time for a lot of emotional exploration. For now, it would be wise to observe rather than act. You will learn more by watching than doing for the time being.

Focus / Advice for July : Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

You can be both resilient and adaptable when you need to be; these qualities are not mutually exclusive. Stay true to your authentic self, acknowledge your weaknesses, and let your strength shine this month.

Ray of Hope for July : Ignite Your Inner Fire

Remember that it is through those things that you are passionate about that you find motivation and inspiration. Here is where the fun lies, and where survival becomes less of a chore and more of a game you are in the process of winning.

Theme for August : The Lovers

Make sure this August that you are connecting to what rings true for you and is best for you. Be around those people that encourage you to take care of yourself, and focus on doing the things that you need to do in order to rest and recover from stress and struggle. Some things just make life a little easier and more comfortable… and they’re worth your time and attention.

Focus / Advice for August : Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)

August is a time to break out of your comfort zone. Try new things and explore. There are new paths offer being offered to you that you need to look at more closely. Stay true to yourself and make sure that you are getting what you need, and if you’re not? Then now’s the time to make a change.

Ray of Hope for August : Let take a deep breath and let the nervousness go. It’s time to get a move on. This is a month for taking action, especially during the first and last quarter moon. You’re safe as long as you stay within the sphere of what is right for you. Place that above all other considerations this month.

Theme for September : Queen of Cups

Remember that it is okay to seek out comfort from others. There are people in your life that provide you refuge on an emotional level. Seeking them out does a service not just to yourself, but also to them and the relationship between you both.

Focus / Advice for September : Daffodil (Narcissus)

Changes that you have put into effect in August bloom this month into a renewed sense of happiness and love for those areas of life that have been influenced by those changes. This creates a sense of renewed vigor and self-satisfaction that is meant to be enjoyed and shared with others.

Ray of Hope for September : Receive Grace

Don’t be a braggart. It’s all well and good to share your good fortune with others, especially in ways in which they can partake in it as well. Just don’t go overboard.
