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 – Three of Swords Rx / Lemon Balm – Discouraging news is coming. Don’t let it weight you down or drag you under. It’s a temporary situation that will resolve itself with very little effort on your part.
Air – The World Rx / Lemon & Thyme – Your inner self talk is going to continue to try and assert that you’re getting nothing done this week. Keep up your task log to counter those mental whispers. Just because nothing gets finished this week doesn’t mean nothing is getting done.
Water – Justice / Marigold – Take care with your expectations this week to protect yourself from upcoming disappointments. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Fire – Seven of Cups / Herbs de Provence – Pick and choose your endeavors wisely for the week ahead. You’re not going to be able to do (or get done) everything that you want, so make sure that your priorities are in order and you are checking in with them often.
Waning – Book and Fawn (Child) – The ability to focus on new interests and endeavors with the eager curiosity you’re used to is going to be lacking this week. Make sure not to beat yourself up about it. It will recover and return.
Waxing – House and Grasshopper (Stork) – Lean into recognizing and appreciating those things and people in your life that bring you a sense of comfort and stability.
Take Away – The hurdles and struggles of the week ahead are going to make it difficult to finish just about anything you want to get finished. Instead of worrying about finishing, appreciate that you’re making progress in the right direction, regardless of the fact these things aren’t completed right this moment. A little bit of progress is better than nothing. Lean into those around you and allow them to comfort you in your moments of disappointment.
