Heron Energy Lenormand Reading with the Magickal Folklore Lenormand

How can I ground myself in order to better navigate my emotions?

Bear and Man – This is Gideon, and the advice here is to allow him to have that place in your life as your protector. He is fiercely protective over you and provides you with a safe place to let yourself be vulnerable.  Ground yourself in that sense of safety and protection he provides so that you can allow your emotions to flow more freely.

Where am I being called toward more reflection?

Ship and Birds – Later this month you have a trip coming up that needs a good deal of planning and preparation.  Make sure that you are putting in your due diligence to make sure that the trip starts off well and that there is as little disorganization and chaos as possible.

How might expanding outwards towards others lighten the weight I’m carrying?

Bouquet and Fox – Those you are close to can assist you in weeding out others with not so pure of intentions.  Listen to your loved one’s sage council and take a moment to try and see what they see, for they are trying to warn you about someone who does not have your best interests at heart.

What needs to be shed to make new growth possible?

Heart and Stars – You have a habit of giving people with bad intentions too much of your hope and faith.  That faith in humanity and the goodness of everyone can become a problem, as it ends up knocking you down again and again. It’s time to shed the naivety that ties your hands and leaves you too hopeful for goodness from corners where there’s none to spare.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Fool

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Prompt: “Pull the Fool card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?”

Modern Love Tarot - The FoolModern Love Tarot – In the imagery of this card, it looks a lot like the figure is working on a love spell.  The thing is?  Most people realize with a bit of thought and experience that love spells nearly always backfire.  You can’t force someone to love you.

The figure in this card has not yet learned that lesson, and so plunges head long into the endeavor without realizing the dangers or the consequences. This card tells us to take time looking at the methods we’re using to reach our goals and make sure that they’re sound. Don’t plunge forward without a good deal of thought.

The Fool in the Beyond Tarot, Tarot DNAxCAT, and The Little Nemo Tarot

Beyond Tarot – The skeleton heads down a dark path with a smile on his face, not intimidated by the darkness even though all they have for light is a single flickering candle.   They continue to dive forward, seeking the new and exciting. Intrepid and moving forward eagerly.  This card speaks of exploration and curiosity, and encourages the querent to dive in and explore without fear.

Tarot DNA x CAT – Boundless energy and a sense of effervescent adventure fill the imagery of this card.  The cat is full of a sense of adventure with the sky and sea at their back and new adventures to the forefront.  The features of the cat are filled with enthusiasm, and the little ghost joins in with an expression of wonder as they bound forward eagerly. This card is all about enthusiastic adventure, and welcomes that energy into the querent’s life.

The Little Nemo Tarot -The figure on this card sits in contrition, a dunce cap sitting on the bench beside them. Sometime when we act too hastily we make mistakes and make a fool out of ourselves. This card asks the querent where in their life are they acting impulsively and possibly going to end up feeling as if they fucked up later on when everything’s said and done.

Prompt for March 7th: The same card in four different decks.

Women's History Lenormand Reading with the Green Glyphs Lenormand

What do past women have to teach me?

Tree and Gentleman – Women are just a strong and capable as men, and their root dig just as deeply when challenged. This isn’t to say that your feeling protective over them is misplaced, just ensure that it does not get in the way and end up stunting their growth.

How can I connect with my Feminine nature now?

Coffin and Birds – Introspection can help connect you more closely with the more feminine side of your nature. Step away from social engagements and gossip,  and it will give you the ability ability to reach within yourself without outside influences in the way.

How can I help the women around me grow?

House and Book – Connect with those closest to you and listen to their wisdom. Allow them room to educate you on their experiences.  There is much you can learn from them if you are willing to sit and listen.

🌕 Full Moon in Virgo – March 2023

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Early tomorrow morning (in my time zone anyway) is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us.

Full Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Chibi Tarot

Anchor Card: Hermit – “An invitation to seek wisdom within from the space of solitude. Light your own lantern, and let it be a guiding light for others on the path.”

How can I access the most intuitive version of myself?

Four of Cups – You can access the most intuitive version of yourself by giving yourself the time and space for reflection and meditation. You need that connection made through meditation, which is an important step in deepening the bond with your intuition.

Where can I pull back from society in order to better hear my inner voice?

Two of Pentacles Rx – Like everything else, engagement with society requires balance. Look at those places where you’re feeling the discomfort of imbalance when engaged in these activities.. If you are feeling put upon… then there it is.

What energy can I embody that will bring me closer to a position of faith?

Two of Wands – If you want to get more connected with your spirituality than you already are, then you need to go ahead and add time to your day for it. Plan out time in your day set aside to include these pursuits so that it’s there for you dependably, instead of always just doing it whenever the mood strikes.

What energy can I release that is holding me back?

King of Swords atop Nine of Pentacles Rx – Stop being so demanding with yourself all the time and berating yourself whenever you aren’t working at top efficiency. It steals away from your sense of stability, diminishes your sense of satisfaction, and keeps you from appreciating your accomplishments.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Three of Cups atop The Emperor Rx – Take a break from being the one “in charge” all the time. You’re allowed to have some fun too.

Month End Tarot Reading with Britt's Third Eye Tarot

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

Ace of Cups atop The Chariot – You are diligently working at taking charge of your emotional health and keeping things positive. You’ve made it to March without a depressive episode taking over for the first time in years and you are working to preserve and nurture this new leaf you’ve turned over.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Six of Pentacles atop Ten of Swords – Shit happens, as do failures. Don’t be so harsh on yourself during these times. Instead, practice a little generosity with yourself and leave those failures behind you instead of rehashing them again and again.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

Seven of Cups atop Ten of Cups – It would be wonderful to return to a feeling of gratitude for all the options and opportunities you are presented with instead of feeling overwhelmed by them.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

King of Wands – Don’t push so hard. You don’t need to prove to anyone how invested you are in those things that are important to you… you don’t even have to prove it to yourself.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

The Hanged Man – Work on seeing the things you are passionate about from a different perspective than that burning need for advancement and success. What drew you to them in the first place? Work at recapturing this perspective rather than the less exciting ones you currently entertain.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

The Moon – Feelings of uncertainty need moments of fear and vulnerability. These feelings don’t need to lead you into a dark pit.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Two of Pentacles – Remember the reasons and purposes behind why you started on your journey to seek a better work/life balance. It can align you back to your goals and help you stay on track.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Four of Swords – Unintended down time. Take care of yourself and don’t allow yourself to fall into unhealthy stagnancy. Healthy rest only.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Ace of Swords – Communicate. Open up to others and, in doing so, you seize the opportunity to have more control over your life.

Message from the Spirit World – When you stand back and really look and listen, you see much more than you would normally. Make sure that you share your observations with others. Don’t keep it to yourself.

Message from the Mind’s World – Keep in mind that you can’t find happiness if you’re too busy trying to bury yourself under the weight of failures and responsibility.

Message from the Physical World – You cannot plow forward full steam ahead if you can’t see where you are going. Seek some balance and you’ll get much farther in the long run.

Carpe Diem Lenormand Reading with the Under the Roses Lenormand

How can I accept freedom today?

Mice and Gentlemen – Don’t accept the influences of those that make you feel diminished. You have enough negative influences going on within you to deal with and combat… outside influences need to roll off your back like raindrops on a slicker instead of eating into you and creating wounds that refuse to heal.

How can I accept joy today?

Crossroads and Clock Tower – This is a choice that you have to make by yourself for yourself.  No one can make it for you, and no one can -do- it for you either.  It’s a gift that you can only give yourself, a choice only you can make.

How can I make the most of today?

Anchor and Child – Use grounding and your responsibilities to keep your less responsible impulses at bay today. You have a handful of things to make sure you get done today so don’t let yourself go wandering so far down the primrose path that you forget about them.
