Playful Heart Tarot - The Devil

Today’s draw is The Devil card, which is traditionally a representation of temptation, struggles with moderation, harmful excesses, addiction, and self-harm.

The Devil card has then been combined with a LOBILAT Rumi Quotes card, which says, “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river inside you, a joy.”

I feel that it’s important to examine one’s motivations. Not just the motivations of others, but our personal motivations as well. Are we doing the things we do from a place of love and connection with our true selves? Or are we doing them out of spite or some other negative emotions?

It makes a difference; not only on if we should do these things, but also on how they affect us personally. If they are an alignment with who we are and come from a place of love, then they help to further our growth and connect us more deeply with ourselves. If they come from outside of that source, they have the potential to pull us away from our authenticity and the values that we prioritize.

The message in today’s Devil and affirmation cards is a reminder that sometimes our emotions can lead us astray. Vengeance, retaliation, moments of spite, or lashing out in anger are all things that we are tempted to indulge in from time to time. It’s in looking at our motivations during these moments that we either align with our authentic selves, or deviate from that authenticity and weaken our connection to it.

Full Moon in Sagittarius - Blue Moon Tarot Reading with the Faery Wheel Tarot

EXPAND : your horizons are calling

King of Wands – Use the bursts of extra energy you are experiencing to expand upon your goals. Instead of teeth clenching and anxiety attacks, repurpose this energy into branching out in those things you’re passionate about.

RELEASE : what outgrows you

Six of Pentacles Rx – Continue to work on letting go of that urge to do everything on your own. A king leads others, thus as you use these burst of energy to grow and expand, bring others in to assist you instead of closing them out.

TRUST : the path unfolding

Six of Wands – You need to learn how to work together with others and find joy in that journey. Despite what you were taught growing up, validation is sweeter when earned through togetherness instead of through individualism and spotlighting personal achievement.

MOVE : clarity comes with motion

The Star – Stop waiting for “the right time” to arrive when certain success is guaranteed. Sometimes you have to embark on something and just trust that it’s going to work out in the end. These moments of uncertainty are a test to your ability to foster hope and keep that hope alive during hardships and uncertainty.

CHOOSE : expansion over fear; freedom over doubt

Ace of Wands – It’s okay to get excited. It’s okay to play and have fun and feel joy. Give yourself permission to experience these things, and in doing so that creative spark within you will rekindle to life once more.

BECOME : the version you’ve been dreaming of

The Hermit – You long for more alone time, but are currently unmotivated to find healthy ways to indulge in it. Don’t indulge in unhealthy alone time just because you’re not feeling motivated to reach out for a healthier version. Quality control is important.

Prompt for May 31st : What I want to carry into summer

Tarot Reading with the Playful Hearts Tarot

Reading Summary: The new emotional connection you’ve been experiencing with long trusted friends and allies (Ace of Cups and Six of Cups) is something you would like to see not just continue but expand into a sense of true harmony (Ten of Cups).

Take Away: There’s been a lot less political talk, nitpicking, and button pushing going on of late around those that you care deeply for. This has equated to less resentment and harsh feelings for not just yourself, but for all involved.

The respite has made you feel like there’s some potential here for true harmony and happiness when all are spending time together.

You would like to see this sense of harmony continue into the summer so that you can spend time with these people without having to be confronted with those negative feelings and experiences that always arise when politics and nitpicking bet involved.

Rackham Tarot - The Tower

Today’s draw is The Tower card, which is traditionally a representation of sudden change, chaotic transformation, destruction, and the tearing down of something within one’s life or beliefs that leaves room for something new to take its place.

The Tower card has then been combined with the Waiting For a Sign card from The Az 2 Oracle, which says, “If you’re waiting for a sign… that waiting IS your sign. It means you want to do something, but you don’t yet trust yourself, or that your own wanting IS the sign, or perhaps you’re trying to figure out if it’s right, or good so that it doesn’t turn out wrong, or bad. In that case I’d like to remind you: have you ever had something bad turn out good? have you ever had something good turn out bad? mmmhhhmm, that’s what we thought. So we say forget trying to pin that sucker down and just let the bunny of your wanting HOP.“

Taking care of things before they come to ahead allows you to have more control over the situation than waiting until everything crashes down on you. This means that sometimes instead of waiting for conditions to be perfect or for things to fall apart on their own, we need to step up and actually do that disassembling ourselves. In doing so we can create an atmosphere that is filled with less chaos and more creation.

The message in today’s Tower card and affirmation is a reminder that we don’t have to wait to make the things we want to happen come about. Sometimes it’s about getting ahead of what’s coming, instead of waiting it out or for all the chips to fall.

Tarot Reading with the 5 Cent Tarot

Reading Summary: Use your time in play with Gid (Knight of Cups) to focus on slowing down (Eight of Matches Rx) and brining yourself back into balance (Temperance) this week.

Take Away: You have been super stressed over the past week, and it’s showing itself through those panic attacks you’ve been experiencing.

Gideon goes on vacation next week, so use this one to spend some quality time with him. Allow that time to help draw you back to the quiet calm within, where those anxiety attacks are less likely to find you.

Once you have managed to unwind, they will ease, and you can then use their residual energy to your advantage to get a few things done while he’s away.

Tarot Reading with the Rackham Tarot, Citadel Oracle, and Deck of Emblems

What “enough” feels like right now

Book, Nine of Coins, The Muse

You are currently tapped out creatively and just need some time to appreciate what you have already accomplished. Pushing yourself to learn more skills at this time will only continue to keep you in that “tapped out” state.

Instead, take time to just appreciate what you have and wait for inspiration to find you. That spark of creativity will return when you’ve gotten the rest and restoration you need.

A gift hiding in my ordinary life

Purse, Eight of Coins Rx, The Enchanter

You have the ability and opportunity to take your breaks when you need them and get the rest you need to recover. It isn’t like in the early days where you had to constantly push yourself to your limits again and again.

You may sometimes feel like you’re still in that earlier space and time, but the truth is that your current situation allows you to take breaks when you need to… and you need to take them instead of falling into that punishing workaholic mindset from your past.

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

Wyspell Tarot - Two of Pentacles

Today’s draw is the Two of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of juggling responsibilities, work/life balance, and prioritization.

The Two of Pentacles is then combined with an affirmation from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards for Kids, which says, “Believe in yourself. You can achieve whatever it is that you want, if you truly believe in yourself.”

Find your own sense of balance before diving into the rest.

When you believe in yourself, anything is possible. The key here is believing in yourself, though. It’s in believing that you can do the work and achieve the results of that work.

I feel like there’s too many people out there these days trying to “manifest” the results they want without being willing to put in the work to get there. That’s not how this works, though. You can’t just want something bad enough and it’ll fall in your lap.

That includes working on ourselves.

Manifestation Quote from Tarotholics Discord Member
Quoted text from Discord Tarotholics Member

The message in today’s Two of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that there’s more to manifestation than wishful thinking. If you truly want something, you have to act on it. Nothing worth having is going to fall into your lap without you putting in the actual work to get it.

How can you better express loving care for yourself today?

Hermit atop The Magician; Pigeon

Consider your alone time a tool used to help you recover from time with others, and prepare you for the next.

Instead of hiding or avoidance, use this time to constructively prepare yourself as well as recover from what came before.

This time shouldn’t make you feel guilty, but rather it’s a form of empowerment over your own needs. Those that love you will understand this.

How can you better express to loved ones how you feel about them?

Prompt for May 28th : Where I’ve been rushing past something good

Tarot Reading with the Wyspell Tarot

Reading Summary: You’re so darned worried (Nine of Swords tipped right) that you’re going to lose what you have (Seven of Swords atop Four of Pentacles) that you’re not enjoying it to its fullest while you have it (The Fool).

Take Away: Work on taking more joy in the journey, rather than always either focusing on the negative or on the next goal.

Too often, you ignore the good stuff in order to plow forward and succeed more, build a stronger foundation, or shore up your resources. You do this so often that you forget to have fun and enjoy what you have in the here and now.

These cards encourage letting go of that need to always be plowing forward toward your next goal or a greater sense of stability, and instead take time to enjoy what you have while you have it. Right now in the moment… not later.

May 26 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was a ten minute long #DailyCalm session from the @Calm app.

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

Today’s draw is the Queen of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s knowledge, education, logic, ambitions, or communication. This can often translate into themes that have to do with the people that foster you through tough love and sharp-tongued advice.

The card has then been combined with a card from The Az 2 Oracle, which says, “Are you reaching for something right now? What is it? Whatever it is… it’s reaching for you too. Perhaps you can meet in the middle? 😉 You know which middle I’m talking about.”

Often, when we want something, it feels like the only way to get there is through sheer determination and grit. We forget that sometimes, all that grit and determination can push us past what we wanted, and cause us to lose out in the value that lies in getting there in the first place. Instead, we charge forward like a bull, determined and single minded, knocking people, things, and experiences out of the way as we barrel towards out goals.

The message in today’s Queen of Swords and affirmation card is a reminder that you don’t have to charge in like a bull to get where you want to go. Instead of plowing ahead, slow down. Allow others to help you, advise you, and be a part of the process. In doing so, you trade the forced rage of the bull for the strength of community, which will get you where you’re going just as efficiently, but with far more value gathered along the way.

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

Today’s draw is the Knight of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s drive, passions, willpower, principles, inspiration, or enthusiasm. This often translates into themes that have to do with rash behavior and a go-get’em attitude toward the things that matter to that person.

The card has then been combined with a card from the LOBILAT Rumi Quotes deck, which says, “Submit to love without thinking.”

I think this is a rare thing; to just submit to love instead of mentally picking it apart. I know it was for me when it came to Gideon, and to a lesser extent when it comes to the rest of my loved ones as well. (I say “to a lesser extent” because in Gideon’s case I was very much against having a romantic partner in the beginning. It took him some time to convince me.)

It’s hard to trust. It’s hard to put our suspicions, vulnerabilities, defense mechanisms, and pessimistic tendencies aside to just accept love. Maybe, I think, it’s sometimes even harder than giving love.

The message in today’s Knight of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder that love is something to be enthusiastic about. It’s something to dive into, wallow in, and not just give but also accept unconditionally. Today’s message encourages us to not let our past hurts and traumas jade us to love, but to instead accept it with open arms and gratitude.

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

Today’s draw is The Hierophant card, which is traditionally a representation of traditions, spiritual guidance, long standing institutions, teachers and guides, and themes that deal with conformity and social norms.

The card has then been combined with a Forest Bathing card, which says, “Do you know the trees in their breathing cycle release oxygen and water vapor through mini openings in their leaves called stomata? Leaves can have up to 1000 of these pores on one square millimeter. I invite you to explore the variety of leaves and contemplate our similarities as a permeable living system. I wonder what you notice”.

Permeable means allowing liquids or gases to pass through it; acting as a filter rather than a solid barrier by letting materials seep in or out. That is to say that trees, and leaves, and even we are not truly stagnant and solid. We breathe in air and exhale carbon dioxide. Water flushes through our system, replenishing and cleansing as it goes. Life and living means we are never truly still, stagnant, or completely “solid”.

When we look at the Hierophant, it often indicates traditions. The thing is? Even traditions change over time. Nothing stays exactly the same from one generation to the next. To me, that means that traditions are also a living, breathing thing. They flex and bend, evolve and change. Sometimes over years, and other times over centuries… but it happens all the same.

The message in today’s Hierophant and affirmation cards is a reminder that life isn’t meant to stagnate. It’s meant to move and flow. Sometimes that flow is quick, and other times it’s a glacier’s pace… but it’s still movement. Stagnancy is not the answer, flexibility and movement is.

Stolen Child Tarot's Eight of Swords (Eight of Zephyrs) and Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards for Kids

Today’s draw is the Eight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of willful ignorance, self-imposed restrictions, turning a blind eye (especially when it can be harmful to self), and entertaining a victim mentality.

The Eight of Swords has then been combined with an affirmation card from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards For Kids deck, which says, “Your gifted. Think of all the things you admire about other people… they admire things about you too!”

Too often we are blind to our own positive traits, too busy focusing on our flaws that we forget there are good traits to be loved and admired.

In many, this becomes a continuous negative inner narrative, obliterating the good we could see in ourselves as well as the world around us. This litany of negative input drags us down and blinds us to the good we could be experiencing as well as the good within ourselves that we could be sharing with others.

The message in today’s Eight of Swords and affirmation card is a reminder that those negative inner narratives are not half as significant as they make themselves out to be, and are overshadowing the other half of the equation… which is the good side, the good traits, the positive attributes, and wonderful parts of you that you’re not acknowledging. Search out these qualities and give them a little bit of attention so that they can shine brightly, and in doing so dampen and defang that negative inner narrative’s voice.

Mind your tongue. It’s far too sharp for your own good lately. Take care to balance out that sharpness with an extra bit of tenderness and a good dose of awareness.

How can you best begin dealing with what’s being ignored?

Knight of Cups and Justice

First admit you’re wrong to yourself, and then to others. Own your words and actions.

Then tap into emotional warmth and share what you enjoy with those around you in order to balance out that harsh and negative tone. Appeal to the love others feel for you and you for them in order to balance the scales.

Take Away: Boundaries are made in order to protect your health and happiness, ensuring you take good care of yourself and are able to instill joy into your life in healthy ways.

Boundaries are not meant to be used as punishment, nor as a way to inflict self-harm upon yourself or otherwise create unhealthy treatment that is harmful for your well-being.

When you are using boundaries in unhealthy ways, that means that it’s time to sit down and do some examining (and reorganizing) of your priorities. It won’t get better on its own.

Solis Occasum Lux Bromalis - Ace of Wands and the Forest Bathing Cards

Today’s draw is the Ace of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the seed, start, or new beginnings in the area of one’s passion projects, inspiration, drive, willpower, and determination. This often translates into themes that have to do with budding new interests and new passion projects.

The Ace of Wands has then been combined with a card from the Forest Bathing deck, which says, “As you stroll through the forest, I invite you to listen to nature’s musical tapestry. The big sounds usually overshadow the more subtle ones. I wonder what you will hear…”

What magic are you missing in the world around you by taking things at face value and not paying closer attention? What more can you see when you stop assuming, and instead truly listen and look deeper at what’s going on around you?

There is so much that is remarkable and passion inducing in the world that we pass by every day without even noticing. Worlds within worlds of sound and life we never see. Layers upon layers of depth within people that we never truly get to know.

The message in today’s Ace of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder of these layers, and an encouragement to look beyond just the surface level of not just other people, but of our experiences as well. In doing so, you never know what treasures you may uncover and what new passions you may discover.

Prompt : Picture the card you draw as a friend you are going to spend the day with. What fun activities are you doing together? What are you talking about? Wearing? Feeling?

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - Gold Moon Major Arcana - The Moon card

What feelings came up when I pulled this card?

I felt myself slip into the “advocate” role that I am both familiar with and enjoy. I like to help people, and this Moon card gives me an opportunity to do that.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

The Moon is about uncertainty and the unknown, and often about how fears can cause our perception of something to blow out of proportion.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

The figure in this card looks a lot like the High Priestess. It spoke to me of the fact that the fears are rooted in perception and perspective instead of solid logic and fact. That tells me what is needed here is a good dose of stability.

My prompt response and reflections.

We are going to go hiking. (While wearing appropriate hiking attire, of course.)

Frankly, we would be going hiking with any number of the cards I might have pulled, because it’s what I want to do. This card’s fear and uncertainty wouldn’t dissuade me in this activity. Instead, it would inspire me to assist them in getting over their fears.

As we hike, we would talk about their fears and worries, and I would help them to see that these things aren’t as huge and insurmountable as they seem.

I would show them through encouragement and the stability in my presence that they are safe and help them to find enjoyment in the activity so that when they think back in the future they will have a positive memory to bolster them.

Anchor Card : The Celestial Bloom

“The internal dawn requires no battle against the dark; it asks only that the mist of uncertainty be allowed to lift.”

Reading Summary: The coins in the Ten of Pentacles and the Anchor card echo each other in shape and form. This speaks to the key to successes you seek lying in the disbursement of fears and anxieties surrounding change.

In The High Priestess card, she holds above her head a cloud that connects in its design to the frosty petals of the Celestial Bloom in the Anchor card. There is promise here that even when things fall apart, wither and fall away, or otherwise meet to be discarded, stability will live on.

The Two of Swords resembles scissors coming to snip the Celestial Bloom‘s unseen stem. Decide what to cut away, but don’t go overboard.
