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 Star – Keep your chin up. Progress takes time, but if you keep your eye on the prize, you’ll get there eventually. Don’t let your self-talk make you believe you’re not getting anywhere this week.
Air – Death – Everyone has dreams from earlier times in their life that they have outgrown and discarded. Be sure to remember this week that it’s okay to let go of those things if they don’t fit you anymore. Give yourself permission to move on.
Water – Six of Wands – Don’t let the accolades of others shift your values. Take pride in those things that make you happy, instead of abandoning them for the happiness of others.
Fire – The Moon – Just because you can imagine something happening doesn’t mean that it’s going to. Keep your fears in check instead of allowing them to go off-leash or take the lead.
Waning – Jack of Spades and Ten of Hearts – Impulsive outburst may feel good, and even rewarding, in the moment. But, at the end of the day, they aren’t going to give you the results that you desire. Ease off on the sharp tongue and let it go.
Waxing – Three of Diamonds and Ten of Diamonds - Focus on working together as a team to build something truly special that goes beyond monetary success.
Take Away – A hint of anxiety is coming your way. Make sure you aren’t allowing it to push you into acting when, in truth, taking things slow is the better course. Whether that anxiety stems from your own self-talk, guilt inspired by echoes of the past, or others in your life trying to push you in a direction that isn’t of interest to you.
In all cases it’s the anxiety that will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Make sure you keep that in mind and do what you can to head this added pressure off at the pass. In the week ahead, show them how you want things to proceed instead of letting others push you this way and that.
