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 – Queen of Swords Rx – Ease up on the self judgement when it comes to the repercussions of your current situation. Your resources are suffering, yes. But it’s not due to any failings on your part. Take a breath and let go of the recriminations and self-flagellation.
Air – Queen of Coins – Speak to yourself in supportive tones and diversify your workflow. You need support right now, not tearing down, pressure, or unreasonable demands. Be clever in your efforts to create stability by branching out instead of increasing the pressure.
Water – King of Wands – For emotional lift, start looking to those passions and interests that have weathered the test of time. Remember that deer lose their antlers, but they grow back again. The same is true for your passions and joys. Start off small and let them grow.
Fire – Ten of Swords Rx – Don’t look to jump into anything with guns blazing this week. Passion projects aren’t the only thing you need to take slow and easy right now. Don’t push yourself until what’s broken has been fixed.
Waning – Tree and Crossroad – It’s time to stop playing “this or that” with your health. Choose the healthy option consistently rather than bouncing around depending on your mood at the moment.
Waxing – Woman and Clouds – Give yourself some extra love and understanding when it comes to your emotions this week. That doesn’t mean let them run the show, but it does mean treating them with kindness instead of harsh judgement.
Take Away – You’re letting your negative inner narratives have far too much freedom, and it’s time to buckle down on it before it gets out of hand and ruins your progress with your efforts to climb out of depression’s pit. Take care to uphold your boundaries instead of letting people skirt by them this week, and start looking at picking up an interest or passion to create a bit of spark in your life, just make sure you don’t let it take over.
