Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the first active step in a journey, progress towards a goal, and the seizing of opportunities.

The Three of Wands has then been combined with an affirmation card from the Sinister Affirmations deck, which says, “There is no rule that says you can’t be a captivating forest pixie and an intimidating ancient hell goddess. Hecate had three forms. You needn’t commit to just one.”

Pick and choose the paths  you decide to follow in life.  You can be more than one thing.  A mother and a boss. A boyfriend and an advocate. An entrepreneur and a nature enthusiast.  We all wear many hats, the important part is to be active in choosing which hats you decide to wear.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder that the life you are living belongs to you, and the hats you decide to wear? Are your decision.  If one of them isn’t fitting right? It’s okay to trade it out for something else, or even set it aside instead of continuing on with what isn’t working. Today’s message encourages us to carefully curate out lives, like a gallery of most loved artwork.  Each path a piece a fit for our unique needs, wants, and likes.

Spirits Prompt for October 25th : What guidance do your ancestors have to offer you at this time?

Reading Summary: Starting over is never easy, and can always be confusing (imagery in the Ace of Pentacles). It can be worse, though, if you allow your emotions to start overriding good sense (Ace of Cups atop Eight of Swords).  Leaning on your emotions alone will blind you to pitfalls and lead in the direction of failure (Nine of Pentacles Rx).

Take Away: Learning to moderate your emotions is difficult, and it’s a long and arduous process. Now that they are set loose instead of being buried, they have a tendency to try and take the lead.

Make sure that you are staying connected to what’s going on, so that you can step outside of those emotional influences and allow other factors to come into play in your decision making, actions, and reactions.

Nine of Wands

How have I shown resilience in past difficulties?

Judgement – You show your resilience in how you keep your eye on where you want to end up and who you want to be. This focus helps you move through difficulties while staying true to yourself, allowing you a resilience you wouldn’t otherwise possess.

What helps me tap into my determination to see things through?

The World – The knowledge that everything is temporary and an end is coming if you just persevere helps you to tap into your determination and see things through when the road becomes difficult.

Also, the understanding that there’s a journey with lessons here that need to be learned for your growth and development.

Nine of Swords

What is an area of anxiety in my life, and how can I best approach this distress?

Queen of Cups Rx and Seven of Pentacles – Your craving for emotional support from a mother figure creates occasional rises of a sort of anxious desperation within you. You need to remember to take things slow, though, and lower your expectations to see what comes out of your hard work instead of pushing for a desired ideal.

This post is a catch-up post, and I can’t remember what my self-kindness might have been for this day.
