The @GlitterbyInk #MarchMoments26 Challenge
The Edge of Wonder Prompt for March 2nd
: Transitional
Daily Mental Health Prompt
: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Food Fortunes - The Lovers / The Dog card

Today’s draw is The Lovers card (The Dog), which is traditionally a representation of love and relationships, long term contracts, harmonious unions, and making choices that are geared toward what is best for you.

You know what? There are certain situations in life where a hotdog is the only thing that’ll do. I know, I know… Not healthy. Or, well, a mystery meat at best.

Sometimes, though, it’s easier and better to give into your craving than deny yourself. Because sometimes when those cravings happen, they happen for a reason that goes beyond just “ooh, that would taste good”.

Denying yourself in these moments can lead to grazing, binge eating, and other habits that come from feeling like you’re neglecting something in yourself.

The message in today’s Lovers card and the “transitional” prompt is a reminder that sometimes self-care is about treating yourself once in a while. As long as it’s once in a while and not all the time.

@lightningwildflower‘s March Reflection to Action Challenge
Prompts for March 1st and 2nd

Tarot Reading with the Rare Triumphs Tarot and Crystal Ball Pocket Oracle

Looking Forward: What energy am I carrying into this new month?

Ace of Wands and Go – Remember that the upswing of Spring energies is something that you can grab hold of and ride upon.

Use the stirring of new life that Spring provides to create inspiration, and then ride Spring’s energies to act on those sparks of inspiration instead of sitting on them to let them percolate.

Mars enters Pisces: Where am I being asked to act with intuition instead of force?

Ace of Swords and New Direction – Stop using logic to try and plow forward through obstacles.

Everything doesn’t have to be so damn hard all the time. Ease your path forward by listening to your intuition more and allow it to choose your direction instead of always leaning into logic, reason, and strategy. By doing so, you allow yourself to “go with the flow” more instead of having to fight every step of the way forward.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Parmeliaceae Lichen for a “Breath of Fresh Air”
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration and Clarity
Desert Rose for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2026 Challenge
Prompt for March 2nd
: What do you need to focus on for self-care for this month’s full moon?

Tarot Reading with the Food Fortunes deck

Reading Summary: Remember that you are still a neophyte when it comes to understanding your emotions and dealing with them (Page of Drinks). When you are feeling out of sorts, there are better options than solitude (Five of Drinks). Take these moments as a sign that it’s time to reach out to others (Two of Drinks).

Take Away: As mentioned in a previous reading on another day, solitude is not your friend at the moment. You may enjoy alone time, but it’s not always healthy for you. Instead of retreating, reach out to others. Share with them what’s going on, and let them help you in sorting out your emotions.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lodgepole Pine for Resilience, Growth, and Renewal
Turtle Figurine for encouraging Slow and Steady Progress
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

DECK USED:  FOOD FORTUNES
Daily Self Kindness

This is a catch up post, and I’m not entirely sure what the self kindness was for this day.

Gideon’s Challenge – WTF

Found Weapons

WTF

Sharp edges
and mud
but hopefully
no blood
as blades glint
in among
the leaves
to draw the eye
and give
a moment pause
as brain struggles
to piece together
what’s been seen
hiding among
winter’s decay

🌕 Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Virgo – March 2026

Tomorrow is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is courtesy of @Ethony

Full Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Beautiful Creatures Tarot

Where can I offer myself grace?

King of Swords Rx – You spend a great deal of time leaning into the logical. At times, this means that you aren’t giving yourself enough room for your emotions and intuition to also have some space. Not everything can be logical all the time, so consider trying to let go of trying to keep it that way.

How can I be less critical this Full Moon?

The Paranormal – In the fall, you lean into your mediumship abilities… and then the rest of the year comes, and you have a tendency to try and lean away from them. Stop trying to pick everything apart in order to try and discount your experiences.

What health and wellness areas need attention?

Queen of Swords Rx – You need to buckle down on the methods that work to shut down that “mean girl” inner narrative you have going on. Your negative self talk has gotten a bit out of control lately.

What area of my life needs reorganizing?

Eight of Swords – It’s time to stop ignoring the problems, and instead start paying attention and strategizing your way out of the danger zone.

What repressed desire needs to be honored during this eclipse?

Knight of Swords Rx – Lean into not pushing yourself so hard right now. Let go of your overzealous and unreasonable expectations for yourself.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Star – YES to getting back on the horse where your optimism and positivity practices are concerned. Do it!
