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 – The Devil – Pay attention to your temptations this week and their possible pitfalls. If you’re going to indulge, ensure that you are fully aware and accepting of the consequences beforehand.
Air – The Hanged Man – It’s better to watch, wait, and gather information this week, than it is to jump ahead and be spontaneous. Make sure you’re thinking things through before taking the leap.
Water – The Magician – You have the tools to keep yourself where you want to be emotionally this week. It’s your choice whether you use them or not, but if you want things to stay balanced and at an even keel, it would be a good idea to start picking up those tools and using them as intended.
Fire – Six of Coins – Every endeavor you pursue requires a give-and-take. Make sure as you embark on these endeavors this week that what you have to give for them is worth what you’re taking away from the experience.
Waning – Clouds and House – Don’t allow your emotions to twist you out of sorts this week. Return to the familiar to find balance instead of allowing yourself to fall into chaos.
Waxing – Tree and Fox – Focus on devising ways to take care of yourself that make the process more fun. It doesn’t have to be a discordant activity that you don’t enjoy if you put your mind and cleverness into turning these activities into something more enjoyable.
Take Away – Why are you looking at your self care activities as chores instead of as enjoyable pursuits? Take time this week to look at where you are doing this, and seek out a solution that allows you to enjoy these activities instead. In doing so, you lay the path to being more eager to reach for them in the future. This includes your efforts toward positivity and optimism, meditation, etc. Find the fun.
