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 Wands atop Four of Stones – Explore the idea of building stability by nurturing the passions of others. This week doesn’t have to be about the things you need to do, task lists, or even diving into those things that you enjoy. Instead, train your focus on helping others connect with their creativity. You have so much of that to share, and in doing so can inspire others to enjoy creative projects and practices as well.
Air – Fortune – Try to work on not being so rigid in you’re thinking. There’s always going to be things that step in and change the plan. Sometimes these changes will be for the better, sometimes they will be for the worst. The one constant in life is change, after all, and lack of predictability walks hand-in-hand with change.
Water – Five of Stones – Allow life to have a little fun at your expense without overreacting with feelings of scarcity. Just because you can’t win them all doesn’t mean you’re losing. Will you find these experiences fun or funny? No. They hold value, though, in giving you a chance to explore your emotions from a different perspective. Especially if you can avoid the “scarcity trap” that your fears and inner narratives always try to trip you into.
Fire – Six of Stones atop Six of Blades – It’s okay to walk away if things don’t feel fair and balanced. That moral compass of yours is always going to need to have the last word in any situation, so make sure that you’re listening and step off if things don’t feel right.
Waning – Goddess and Paravents – Chaos and chatter from the peanut gallery has a tendency to make your stomach hurt, and you don’t need the extra stress this week. Don’t let gossip and other such bullshit ruin what could otherwise be a nice and relaxing week off.
Waxing – Pompeii and Spring – Get your ass outside, and make sure you wear sun protection while you’re at it.
Take Away – This week is all about taking care of yourself and making sure that you are stepping away from your responsibilities and “should do” tasks. No need to drop the ball, just set it down so you can come back to it later after this week is over. Instead, spend some time outside and make sure you try to keep things light and easy. Walk away from the heavy stuff instead of bracing for impact.
