The @GlitterbyInk #JuneSun25 Challenge
Summer Sunlight Prompt for June 13 : Rest

Today’s draw is the King of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s financial security, resources, health, home, labors, manifestations, and other elements of the physical realm. This often translates into leadership that creates a grounded sense of stability for others.

Notice that it is extremely rare to see the kings of any suit in the tarot standing.  They are always seated. This is because their responsibility resides in delegation. They create stability by making sure everyone works together, that those with something to say get heard, and by overseeing more than doing with their own two hands.

The message in today’s card and prompt combo is that a leader delegates. They aren’t out there working their knees and fingers to the bone, but rather they are creating stability through sharing their long earned knowledge with others, then delegating them to take over the tasks involved with those skills that have been shared.

#DiscordTarotholicsJun2025 Challenge
Philosophical Question for June 11th : What is something you believe but cannot prove?

Summary: You believe that once uncertainty comes calling (Doubt), retreating into alone time (Protect) creates an environment for healing (Leaves).

Take Away: I’m actually pretty sure that the reason that I cannot prove that this is true is because it’s actually not true.

And yet, again and again when I feel a sense of doubt and uncertainty, I retreat into myself to hide away from the world until I feel better. It’s more likely that the eventual “feeling better” could simply be because I’ve riden out those unhealthy emotions, though, instead of that the alone time is actually creating a healing environment for me.

What you need to release.

The Tower atop Red Phoenix 10 (Ten of Cups) – Let go of the idea that happiness only comes after the chaos has passed. True happiness is found within the chaos and uncertainty. Happiness is something that you must consciously connect with in the day-to-day, no matter what else is going on in your life.

What crosses your path to help you.

Red Phoenix Ace (Ace of Cups) – You are on a journey of self discovery, where you are learning about all the emotions that you didn’t have the opportunity to learn about when you were younger. You can’t learn about these if they aren’t going to come to the fore. Thus, looking at them as foreign invaders is detrimental to your growth.

What you need to do to protect this new opportunity.

The Lovers atop Black Tortoise 8 (Eight of Wands) – Don’t give yourself time to second guess. Instead, move toward what is right for you with a alacrity. That means not just with speed but also joy. Accept what is right and good for you without question. You’ve always been good at knowing instinctively what those things are.
