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 Empress – You take care of everyone else, but who takes care of you? You are no longer “maiden fresh” with energy that abounds, and you should not be putting out more than you are receiving. Abundance, like everything else, is a balance of give and take. Consider taking more this week in order to foster a better balance.
Air – Two of Combustion (Wands) – Continue with getting your ducks in a row this week. Make plans, but with the caveat that they might be for naught if something unforeseen enters the picture. Rough drafts are great, just don’t carve them into stone.
Water – Eight of Æther (Swords) – Don’t panic. You do more harm than good when you’re in a panicked state. No matter how much you want to fix things or help, the best thing you can do in these moments is to close your eyes, take a breath, and stay calm. If you can’t manage that? Step aside and wait, then try again.
Fire – King of Combustion (Wands) – No micromanaging this week allowed. Instead, work on delegating effectively and with authority. You aren’t alone in this, so don’t act like you are.
Waning – Lump In My Throat – Keep your mouth shut. When you feel that tension in your jaw and neck? Don’t speak up. There is nothing you can say in this moment that’s going to make things better.
Waxing – Digesting Life – Careful what you ingest this week. Let your gut guide you on when it’s worth speaking, and when it would be better to listen. Remember that just because you don’t speak your mind, and choose to listen instead of contribute, doesn’t mean you are agreeing with (or to) anything. You’re simply choosing not to engage.
Take Away – Keep your mouth shut and mind your own business this week. It’s all about staying the course and making plans based on where you want things to go. There’s nothing here about actually -acting- on anything. Instead, use this week to focus on taking care of -you- and giving others the opportunity to help in that regard.

I hope this is a better week for you, man
