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 – Ace of Swords – Don’t close yourself off or isolate yourself from others or what’s going on around you. Communicate with those that help keep things stable, but not to the point you’re stabbing anyone in the back by doing so. You are not an oath breaker, and now isn’t the time to start.
Air – Page of Swords – It’s okay to struggle with your words, as long as you’re still getting your words out.
Water – Seven of Swords – It’s also okay to be feeling betrayed. These emotions are a natural consequence of what you’re currently going through. Don’t hold these feelings in. Share them with others instead of trying to ignore them.
Fire – Knight of Cups – Alcohol is not the answer. Tempting, but not the answer. Self medicating, addictions to excess, and other self-destructive pursuits are also not the answer. Hold strong against these urges or things could quickly get out of hand.
Waning – Lily and Dog – You are craving the drown right now, but it’s not a good time to indulge. Doing so could be detrimental to your recovery from the depression, so hold off for a bit longer instead of seeking out that dynamic that makes you feel all the feels.
Waxing – Child and Spirit – Instead of leaning into adult interests, try tipping towards playfulness and fun. Allow the curiosity and wonder of a “child’s mind” to rise to the surface for some play and exploration.
Take Away – Now, while everything feels like it’s falling apart and you’re powerless to do anything to stop it, focus on communication and play. Let yourself have a little fun and use the extra time destruction has put within your hands to play and enjoy instead of wallowing in worry and anxiety.
