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, “People will always tell you what you can’t do. You can’t move to a forgotten ghost town to study the dark arts. You can’t enthrall a horde of undead scorpions. You can’t open a portal to another world in an abandoned quarry. Ignore those people. You don’t need their negativity.”

Why are you holding back? It’s time to move, not stand still.

The negative narratives in your head that tell you that you can’t are the voices of others that have sunk deep into your psyche and whisper to you from those dark places.

It’s time to stop listening to them. Take a leap. Sometimes that first step can’t be a small one, and instead you just have to let go and jump.

The message in today’s cards is an encouragement to get moving on something that you’ve been hesitating and procrastinating on. Don’t let other’s negativity hold you back from what you really want.

Prompt for Offering (exchange) : What am I ready to give?

Reading Summary: Your friends (Three of Cups) want to help you create balance (Two of Pentacles), and you are finally ready to do what is healthy for you and work together (The Lovers).

Take Away: It’s difficult for you to let go of the reins and allow responsibility to be more evenly dispersed between you and others. You’re used to taking everything on your own shoulders, and not doing so feels like everything is out of your control.

You’ve come to a point in your life, though, where you realize you can’t do it all yourself and you need their help to create balance in your life for a healthier future. You are now ready and willing to sacrifice some of that control in order to achieve that goal.

Samhain Prompt for October 27th : As the last harvest approaches, what needs be discarded from your life?

Reading Summary: You’ve worked so hard (Seven of Pentacles) trying to understand your emotions and learn about them and how to deal with them (Ace of Cups). Let go of your hesitancy where new emotions are concerned (Temperance Rx beside Ace of Cups). It’s not caution at this point, just procrastination to not deal with the unpleasantness of something new (Ace of Cups Rx).

Take Away: The answer here is in the reversed Temperance card. These cards are saying it’s time to stop procrastinating and setting things aside that are uncomfortable just because you don’t want to deal with them.

That procrastination comes in a lot of different forms and can often look like healthy hesitation. You’ve spent enough time working with your emotions and how to greet them and deal with them, though, that you shouldn’t need that extra hesitation at this time. That means that you’re just hesitating to create space because you’re uncomfortable.
