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 – Four of Coins – Go ahead! Be excessively miserly this week. Now is the time. You won’t regret it later.
Air – Queen of Swords – Take care with your words and make sure that when you speak with others that what you’re saying is constructive instead of destructive. Even during times when you feel like you need to be on the defensive, your focus needs to remain on constructive communication.
Water – Six of Cups – This card is an echo back to the Card of the Day reading that you did for yourself the other day. It is a reminder that it’s important to focus on the good memories that help build trust in those in your present, instead of getting stuck dwelling upon the bad memories of events from the past that hurt you.
Fire – Strength – Sometimes a show of strength is in the lack of reaction you give, rather than snapping back right away or being reactionary.
Waning – Boötes and Venus – People are going to try and play on your emotions this week. Whether it be through love or guilt, or some other emotion to push you and motivate you into their way of thinking and get you to do what they want you to do. Make sure that you are aware of this, and pause before you react. Acknowledge the emotions they are intentionally stirring up, but don’t let those emotions drive you.
Waxing – Pegasus and Aquila – Movement. Swift and sure. Get up, get out, do things… get some fresh air and allow yourself to breathe deep and move. Movement is the key to self-care this week, so make sure that you’re not indulging in stagnancy when you could be moving instead.
Take Away – Move, dance, get outside, and bring others with you whether they like it or not. Don’t allow them to push your buttons and get you to be reactionary this week. Instead, drag them along, kicking and screaming if you need to, in order to have them with you as you get outside and enjoy the refreshed energies of Spring and revitalization of fresh air that Spring brings with it. Make happy memories.
