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 Cups, which is traditionally a representation of withdrawal, abandonment, or letting go of things, situations, or people in your life that are just not working out for you emotionally.

The Eight of Cups has then been combined with the Protection and Strength card from The Life Navigator Deck, which says, “Love is who we are. Love made you and walks close beside you, always ready to protect and strengthen you in times of need.”

Remember that participation is not always necessary, and just because you walk away from an experience doesn’t mean that the others involved won’t still love you, regardless of your lack of interest. Neither does it mean that you don’t love them.

Real love is not conditional upon you allowing others to cross your boundaries. True love is about who you are, not what you can do for others.

Therefore, even when you love someone dearly doesn’t mean that you need to be their drinking buddy or wing man, or go to the carnival with them, or be the one that they depend on for all the stuff they don’t want to and/or can’t do themselves. That is not what love is about.

If someone is going to reject you because you aren’t filling those rolls for them, then it’s not love.

The message in today’s Eight of Cups and affirmation card is a reminder that love is more than just a companion. Love protects as well as supports, which means if you are stepping back for your own reasons? They will still love you because that’s what you needed to do.

The @ambitiouslyalexa July Journal Prompts
Prompt for July 6th : A habit you’re rebuilding

Reading Summary: You are rebuilding the habit of allowing yourself, when feeling vulnerable (Soften) you are to reach out your partner and loved ones (Kindred) for their comfort and support (Support).

Take Away: Once upon a time, I was better at this than I am today. There was a time during my relationship with Gideon that when I toppled into subdrop it was easier for me to reach out to him and seek out support to get me through the experience.

I don’t know what happened. Somewhere along the line I forgot how to do this and once again became resistant to seeking out that support and allowing myself to have it. It’s like I regressed back to before that period of acceptance.

I am now seeking to re-awaken that acceptance and allowance for support, and to reach out to him when I need him instead of forcing myself to deal with the subdrop on my own.

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2026 Challenge
3-Card Spread Prompt for July 6th : About creativity…

What unseen or unacknowledged factor is the source of my current creative block?

Ace of Swords – You are too much in your own head and aren’t doing anything physically to stir things up, not even in so far as writing down your new ideas.

If you visualize your creative juices as a body of water currently lying stagnant, then your ideas are simply a gentle brush of a breeze over the surface. You need the physical act of writing them down or doing something about them to dip beneath the surface and stir the currents below into movement. That movement can then eventually become flow when nurtured in a particular direction.

How can I move beyond this block to access and amplify my creative energies and inspiration?

Seven of Wands – Act. Show your devotion and how much you value your creativity by acting in some way upon the ideas you have. Do something, even if it’s something small, to get those juices moving instead of sitting still.

Moving forward, what strategy can I an enlist to help keep my creative energies flowing?

The Tower atop Two of Cups – During times of struggle and strife, don’t abandon your creative endeavors. This is how you got in this situation in the first place. Don’t let the chaos of other responsibilities and obligations shut down your creative spark.
