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

Today’s draw is The Sun card, which is traditionally a representation of success, optimism, positivity, fun and frivolity. In my practice, the Sun is also a symbol of masculine vitality, virility, and warmth.

The Sun card has then been combined with the Creating Cooperation card from The Healing Mantra Deck, which says, “More gets accomplished when everyone has a role to play.”

I’m not gonna say that you can’t have success by doing it all on your own, for that isn’t true. But, what I see these cards saying today is that success is more pleasurable and satisfying, greater and more enjoyable, when it is shared with others.

By delegating the workload, not only do you get to take pleasure and satisfaction from the success of your endeavor, but you get more enjoyment along the way throughout the process because you have more freedom and space to savor the journey.

The message in today’s Sun card and affirmation is that in most of the goals that you choose to pursue on your own, consider how inviting others to join in and help out might improve the experience. Not just the end result, but the experience in getting there as well. In most cases, you will find that by including others in your endeavors, those endeavors become more enjoyable as a whole.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2026 Challenge
Prompts for August 13th and 14th

How can I better connect with my inner adolescent?

Seven of Swords; Tension and Hunger

Acknowledge the trials you went through, and the fucked up things that you did back then to survive. These things stole away your innocence, but we’re a necessary part of survival at that time. It’s time to stop judging yourself so harshly for them.

How does my inner adolescent feel right now?

Knight of Pentacles; Omen, Lantern, Map

Hyper-vigilant. These experiences in your adolescence are how you developed the “Mr Fix It” tendencies you carry to this day.

Your inner adolescent started out as a child and developed into a problem solver out of necessity. They are still stuck in this hyper-vigilant problem solver mindset all these years later after you have already become an adult, always on alert for the next problem to arise so they can head it off at the pass.

Mercury sextile Venus
Prompt for August 13th : Where might a gentle conversation resolve a conflict?

The Magician Rx – Powerlessness is not your strong suit, nor is expressing yourself and how you feel when you are stuck within a cycle that includes your hands being tied.

The Devil atop Nine of Pentacles – At these times, instead of giving into the temptation of sitting back on your laurels and appreciating what you have while you wait for things to pass, step forward and communicate with those around you. Share with them how you are feeling and what you are experiencing. Be kind to yourself in this communication.

Ten of Pentacles – In doing so you don’t just invite others in to support you when you need a little bolstering, but also to be there when things smooth out and help you put things to right in your life once again.

Take Away: When you are struggling, approach family and friends with how you are feeling. Not with accusations and demands, but with an open dialogue that is kind and forgiving to both yourself and others. Confiding in them and enlisting their support helps everything return to a more stable status quo far easier than it otherwise would.
