Have you ever seen a movie that fit a specific tarot card perfectly, run across a movie quote that was the epitome of a certain tarot card, or even lyrics to a song that match a tarot card just right? This week’s creativity is all about themes in the tarot that translate onto the big screen and music!
Pick (or randomly draw) at least three cards. For each card pick, (or find) a movie, movie quote, or song lyrics that you feel fits that card perfectly.
Where I’m centered entering this season.
Rods (Broom) – Self flagellation. Cruelty and negative inner dialogue. Make sure that you are policing this area and tamping down on it when the urges rise. You’re centered and strong here right now, but you want to make sure that this does not sneak in and take root.
How to ground into my deeper needs.
Tree – Pay attention to your health and work on making healthy choices over those that might be more comforting and of fugacious value. Taking care of the body is the foundational strength of the rest of your health and your life. Take some time to turn around on bad choices and look for better ones.
Where I’m called to push through my comfort zone.
Key – Keep your eye on the prize. Sometimes you might feel a moment of hesitation, but if you push through and focus on the successes that you want to achieve, you will weather the storm just fine and come out the other side still on track and moving forward.
An invitation to prioritize pleasure.
Moon – It’s okay to wallow in good feelings and enjoy when someone say something nice or kind. It’s okay to take pleasure in good moods and good events, things that make you smile or create a warm fuzzy feeling are not your enemy. Dive into them and enjoy them.
The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows:
“This week, let’s take the time to value ourselves through our craft. Do a reading about why you are wonderful and worthy.”
What positive traits have I built up in myself?
Three of Diamonds atop Seven of Clubs
The ability to draw others into my cause when it’s something I really believe in. I may struggle with asking for help, but when I do finally ask? It’s there. Unquestioned and ready to go. Every time.
What am I doing right to support myself?
Five of Diamonds
Keeping a close eye on my finances and making sure things are on track. Sometimes, you can put such concerns on auto-pilot for a bit and let them take care of themselves. Right now, though, I’m feeling my scarcity issues and I’m being extra vigilant.
What am I doing right to support my loved ones?
Queen of Diamonds
Being supportive. (Seriously. That’s the answer. *LOL*) I’m stepping up to provide an ear and a shoulder, to give my loved ones someone to come to that understands where they’re coming from, and supporting them (namely by welcoming them to live in my home)… even if it’s a bit inconvenient and uncomfortable for me.
Where have I made progress recently that deserves to be acknowledged?
King of Hearts
I’ve been able to spend more time with Gideon lately. I’ve gone out of my way to make time to make sure I get some time with him, whether that’s just chatting or in play.
What good things do others see in me?
Ten of Clubs atop Nine of Clubs
That I’m willing to work myself to the bone for what I believe is important, and to protect what’s mine. Although I’ve gone through a number of hard and painful experiences in life, I don’t give up, even when I’m feeling overwhelmed and about to buckle under the weight of it all.
My solar plexus center’s energy right now.
Alpha of Leaders (Honor)
Now that you am completely out of your depressive episode, you can feel the leadership role sliding back into place and the control is both comforting and familiar. You are no longer overwhelmed, but self assured in your role in your home and in the business, and are sure-footed in moving forward once more.
Tension I’m currently holding in this area.
The Lone Wolf (Inner Guidance)
You’re not getting out into the woods enough. You’re not getting enough alone time. It’s causing some tension that a bit of time alone exerting yourself among the trees could help you to release.
How I can release this tension.
Two of Hunters (Adaptability)
Listen to what your body, mind, and intuition are telling you. Don’t plow through and ignore your needs, but instead work at making time for them and finding a balance between responsibility and self care. Only with planning and adaptability will you be able to find a way to balance your life’s different aspects.
How I can improve my mental clarity.
Alpha of Watchers (Intellectual)
Pay attention and take responsibility for claiming that mental clarity. Actions speak volumes, and if you want to improve your mental clarity you need to actually take control and make it happen instead of allowing yourself to sink into the comfortable “slumber” of brain fog and indulging in habits that encourage a sluggish mentality.
 How I can improve my self-confidence.
Three of Hunters (Collaboration)
Allow those around you that are a part of your endeavors to have more say and more responsibility in the endeavors in question. In doing this, you hand a piece of your trust to them, and gain a bit of time for yourself.
 What will change when I improve my self-confidence.
Seven of Caretakers (Illusion)
What you truly desire will come into clearer focus as your self-confidence improves. Steady footing leads to clearer vision, and that vision will allow you to better identify and go after those things that really matter.
Prompt: Pull (at least) three cards and use them to tell us about what it would be like to live in a dollhouse.
At first I thought this is a really good idea and I thought it would be a lot of fun (The Fool). I was really eager to hop right in and get going and have the time of my life with this new experience (The Sun).
I threw myself into moving into the dollhouse with a full bore attitude (The Chariot) and happily began plotting my future within this wonderful little nest (The Lovers).
Everything was cute and I loved it so much, but then some time passed. I started to get comfortable and some of the excitement wore off (The Hanged man), and I came to realize something was horribly, outrageously WRONG! There’s no food!!! (The Tower)
What is spirit helping me with?
Moon – Connecting to your intuition and learning about your emotions is where spirit is leaning in to help at this time. You are on a journey of emotional growth and, with that growth, comes an intensifying and expansion of your intuitive gifts. You need to remember that these things are connected, no matter how familiar trying to separate them is for you.
Why are they helping me with this?
Bouquet – They want you to be happy. Truly happy. This card is about the recovery and sense of lighthearted positivity that comes after someone has weathered a storm. Although my life is filled with many painful lessons, they want me to be able to truly absorb and enjoy the good and allow it to uplift the soul.
What does spirit want me to release to them?
Tree – The past and the pain that lives there. It can pollute your life, creating imbalance and health problems as you allow it to do so, or it can be released. Let go. Handed over to spirit and heal thyself in having done so.
How releasing something to them will help me.
Ring – You will be given the balance needed to make better decisions concerning your commitments and responsibilities. Less stress and less pain can often lead to greater clarity and sharper mental acuity. This in turn allows you to make more informed and better thought out decisions concerning what you’re willing to commit to and agree to, and makes it easier to say no when something doesn’t fit your needs.
How can I better hear and listen to messages from spirit?
Mountain – Stop being so fucking stubborn and open up already. Find the issues that are causing you to put up obstacles in the way between the closer connection you’re looking for and what you have now. Delve into those issues and begin removing what’s standing in your way.
How can I trust that Spirit is with me?
Crossroads – Trust is a choice. If you want to trust, you have to be willing to make the decision to do just that. Although Spirit is always with you, it is only through making the choice to trust, to listen, and to accept… that doors will open for you.
