Coffee Cup Lenormand Reading with the Eastern Ink Lenormand

What do you have a good grip on?

Clover and Stars – You have a good handle on your success and progress, and you have your eye on the prize.  Between determination and a large dose of positive expectations, you have this well in hand.

What should you fill up on?

Dog and Ring – Make sure that those you hold near and dear know just how much you cherish them and just how important they are to you, and that you take the time to truly enjoy and “fill up on” their love as well.

What is sitting that needs to be poured out?

Whip and Cross – There are things from your past that continue to pollute your present.  Wounds that need poured out and released, let go of and set free.  It can be hard to get to that point, but each day can be a step closer to getting there.

Seasonal Changes Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “As the seasons are starting to change, what are some changes we can start making in our lives?”

Notorious Gambling Frog Playing CardsSix of Clubs and Three of Diamonds – It’s time to start leaning into collaborating with other people, and allowing them to have a say in how things go and what they look like moving forward. The busy season is coming, and it is through their collaboration and input that you will find positive progress.

Ace of Diamonds and Seven of Hearts – Pick and choose your battles. You can only take advantage of so many opportunities at once, so you need to make sure that you’re taking a close look at what is on offer and making the choices that you can handle instead of trying to take on everything.

Five of Diamonds and Nine of Clubs – Begin doing those things needed to protect against the scarcity issues that you struggle with. Whether they’re reality or just in your head, it really doesn’t matter, as the solution is the same either way. You need to take steps to protect yourself and those around you, so that what is imagined cannot creep into reality and become a real problem.

Spirit Guides Tarot Reading with The Painted Tarot

Card to represent the Spirit Guide with me through this reading.

Seven of Pentacles – This spirit guide has been with you for a very long time, and has been working to guide you into a state of slow and healthy growth with diligence and care. They seek to help you not just survive, but thrive, and work hard to guide you in that direction.

Something this Guide is currently helping me with.

Justice atop Ten of Wands – Learning how to avoid burnout and it’s consequences by helping to guide you into making better choices on how you expend your energy.

What my Guide wants me to know at this time.

Ten of Cups – You can be happy without having everything that you want by sharing what you have with others, and enjoying their company and support in your life. Lean into those that you support, as they are eager to support you as well.

How can I help get myself to this place/goal?

The World – Stay true to your beliefs and the person you want to become, as you stay open to the changes and new journeys that lie ahead. You’ve turned over a new leaf in your life by trying to treat yourself better, and you need to stay the course.

What is holding me back from reaching my goals?

Queen of Wands – Sometimes you can become a little bit too focused on supporting other’s dreams, and in the process you forget to foster your own. Although it is important to you to support those that you care about, make sure that you’re not overdoing it and neglecting yourself as a result.

How can I motivate myself to be more productive with my lesson?

The Devil – Seek out the pleasure in the goal, as well as in the journey to reach it. Your addictive tendencies will take care of the rest.

A way that this lesson will show up in my life in the near future.

Queen of Coins – You will once again be confronted with a need to support others and be that stability in their lives, and will need to make a choice about how you go about doing this so that it will not cause you overwhelm and lead to burnout.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Dollhouse

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Prompt Here: “Pull (at least) three cards, and use them to tell us a story about what it would be like to live in a dollhouse.”

Black Cat Tarot - Majors Only Deck

“I love myself a good box!” The kitty says as the dollhouse is sat down in the little girls room. Black fur pacing back-and-forth to twine around human legs as she watches with interest as the two sides of the house split open to create a wealth of small boxes to explore. (The Devil)

As soon as the human leaves the room, up the kitty hops, onto the table to circle the big box with all the little boxes inside. Peering in the windows to see all that lies within, then circling around to looking through the cracked open side and she begins to sniff curiously. (The Hermit)

Soon, she’s exploring each room eagerly, and pushing the little bits of trinkets and furniture off to the side or knocking them out the fall to the floor out of her way, until there is a scattering of little furniture all over the floor and each of the rooms in the dollhouse is empty. (The Sun)

She then wiggles her way into one of the rooms, working her way in with twitches and tugs until she can scooch and scrunch and smoosh her way to fitting inside. If it fits she sits, after all, and she will make sure that she fits in each and every room. (The Magician)

This room first, though, she thinks. And once she’s in, she’s oh-so-very comfy, and so she decides to linger a while. Instead of moving on to continue exploring, maybe she’ll just take a nap and explore the other rooms later. (Temperance)

Book and Letter – Speak from a place of knowledge, and make sure that you are confirming your sources before you use them.

When to make some noise?

Heart and Bouquet – Speak up when your heart tells you to, and when what you have to say can be a boon to others. Share with those you know will care about what you have to say.

🌕 Full Moon in Pisces – September 2022

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today 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. Today’s spread is about the medicine within, and brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot by the Moon series.

Full Moon in Aquarius Tarot Reading with the Sasuraibito Tarot

What message does my intuition want to deliver?

Six of Swords – You need to take a break and give your body a chance to breathe. More than that, you need to turn over a new leaf in how you treat yourself in order to make allowances for your body’s limitations and pain levels.

How can I connect more closely with my intuitive side?

Eight of Swords – Stop blocking. You are holding yourself back by turning away from and ignoring much of what your intuition picks up on. Instead of tapping in, you hold it at a distance.

What emotions need healing?

Four of Cups – Your resentment of needing to take the time to do your meditation is holding you back from actually doing your meditation. Let go of the resentment, and let yourself have what you need instead.

How can I let go?

The Moon – Face your fears and uncertainties instead of ignoring them. When you ignore them, they don’t go away.  They just linger back there and wait for you to look over your shoulder.

What self-care do I need to focus on?

Page of Swords – Make sure you are focusing on staying organized. You always feel better and more clear headed with the more organized that you are.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Ace of Pentacles atop Six of Wands – Pay less energy into what others think and want from you. There are new opportunities coming, but if you are too focused on people pleasing, those opportunities will pass you by.
