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

Today’s draw is The Devil card, which is traditionally a representation of temptation, struggles with moderation, harmful excesses, addiction, and self-harm.

The Devil card has then been combined with a LOBILAT Rumi Quotes card, which says, “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river inside you, a joy.”

I feel that it’s important to examine one’s motivations. Not just the motivations of others, but our personal motivations as well. Are we doing the things we do from a place of love and connection with our true selves? Or are we doing them out of spite or some other negative emotions?

It makes a difference; not only on if we should do these things, but also on how they affect us personally. If they are an alignment with who we are and come from a place of love, then they help to further our growth and connect us more deeply with ourselves. If they come from outside of that source, they have the potential to pull us away from our authenticity and the values that we prioritize.

The message in today’s Devil and affirmation cards is a reminder that sometimes our emotions can lead us astray. Vengeance, retaliation, moments of spite, or lashing out in anger are all things that we are tempted to indulge in from time to time. It’s in looking at our motivations during these moments that we either align with our authentic selves, or deviate from that authenticity and weaken our connection to it.

#DiscordTarotholicsMay2026 Challenge
Prompt for May 31st : Grab a spread of your choice you’re curious about… and give it a go!

EXPAND : your horizons are calling

King of Wands – Use the bursts of extra energy you are experiencing to expand upon your goals. Instead of teeth clenching and anxiety attacks, repurpose this energy into branching out in those things you’re passionate about.

RELEASE : what outgrows you

Six of Pentacles Rx – Continue to work on letting go of that urge to do everything on your own. A king leads others, thus as you use these burst of energy to grow and expand, bring others in to assist you instead of closing them out.

TRUST : the path unfolding

Six of Wands – You need to learn how to work together with others and find joy in that journey. Despite what you were taught growing up, validation is sweeter when earned through togetherness instead of through individualism and spotlighting personal achievement.

MOVE : clarity comes with motion

The Star – Stop waiting for “the right time” to arrive when certain success is guaranteed. Sometimes you have to embark on something and just trust that it’s going to work out in the end. These moments of uncertainty are a test to your ability to foster hope and keep that hope alive during hardships and uncertainty.

CHOOSE : expansion over fear; freedom over doubt

Ace of Wands – It’s okay to get excited. It’s okay to play and have fun and feel joy. Give yourself permission to experience these things, and in doing so that creative spark within you will rekindle to life once more.

BECOME : the version you’ve been dreaming of

The Hermit – You long for more alone time, but are currently unmotivated to find healthy ways to indulge in it. Don’t indulge in unhealthy alone time just because you’re not feeling motivated to reach out for a healthier version. Quality control is important.

@ambitiouslyalexa May Journal Prompts
Prompt for May 31st : What I want to carry into summer

Reading Summary: The new emotional connection you’ve been experiencing with long trusted friends and allies (Ace of Cups and Six of Cups) is something you would like to see not just continue but expand into a sense of true harmony (Ten of Cups).

Take Away: There’s been a lot less political talk, nitpicking, and button pushing going on of late around those that you care deeply for. This has equated to less resentment and harsh feelings for not just yourself, but for all involved.

The respite has made you feel like there’s some potential here for true harmony and happiness when all are spending time together.

You would like to see this sense of harmony continue into the summer so that you can spend time with these people without having to be confronted with those negative feelings and experiences that always arise when politics and nitpicking bet involved.

I didn’t eat cake, trying to give my stomach a break, even though I -really- wanted to.
