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

Today’s draw is the Eight of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of action, speed, alacrity, fast paced events or change, or having a target goal in your sights that you are charging towards.

The Eight of Wands has then been combined with Abbott Handerson Thayer’s Angel card from the Because Art Heals deck, which says, “Thayer’s Angel embodies calm strength & quiet divinity. Painted after personal loss, it reflects how love endures beyond form, an unseen presence that steadies us in grief.”

Sometimes letting go isn’t the answer. Instead, the answer is holding on to how we feel, even as we move on into something else.

Whether it’s the loss of a person, the loss of a job, the loss of an ability or a hobby… etc, just because it’s not ours any longer doesn’t mean we have to stop loving it. For example, maybe you loved to crochet but now arthritis makes it so you can’t anymore. Does that mean you have to no longer love the art of crocheting? No. It might mean you can’t do the creating yourself, but you can still appreciate the art and skill of others, and even share your knowledge with them.

The message in today’s cards is an encouragement to let the love you feel for the things that matter to you exist… even in those times when you have to let go in some way and move on. That love doesn’t have to be discarded, but can be allowed to linger for as long as you want or need it to.

#DiscordTarotholicsFeb2026 Challenge
Prompt for February 26th and 27th

What to look forward to as we begin to head towards spring.

Priest and Officer – More structure and discipline.

These two qualities work together to keep things not just moving in the right direction, but also stable and secure. Stable and secure are qualities that you very much enjoy, so welcome in the increased structure and discipline when it steps into your life, for it will help you keep that stable foundation that you enjoy so much if you’re willing to cooperate.

How to connect with the warmth to come during the lingering cold.

Ardent Desire – Indulge in what brings you pleasure.

Now is the time for indulging in a bit of hedonistic pursuits of the physical variety. Accept and wallow, enjoy to your heart’s content. There’s a bit of extra time to indulge right now, and you should do so while the opportunity is there for the taking.

@ambitiouslyalexa’s February Journal Prompts
Prompt for February 27th : One thing I’m grateful I’ve learned

Reading Summary – Connecting with your emotions (Ace of Cups) as you have been working on over the past few years, makes it easier to spot when somebody’s trying to fuck you over (Seven of Swords Rx), and take defensive steps when necessary (Nine of Wands).

Take Away – Over the past few years you’ve learned to listen to your emotions, not just your intuition, when interacting with others. Especially when allowing others to get close to you.

This added level of awareness allows you to better sense when something has gone awry, and when those trying to get close to you don’t have your best interests at heart. It’s an extra level of awareness you weren’t able to utilize before.
