Transitions
October
kisses the skin
with cool breath
and sweet drops
of cold rain
interspersed
with beautiful
skyscapes
of clouds
interspersed
with peeking
hints
of blue
from summer’s end
Tarotholics Challenge Oracle Reading
#DiscordTarotholicsOct2023 Challenge
Questions for October 12th thru 14th
Trick: What is fooling you that needs to be seen more clearly?
Alone atop Beginnings – You are not going to be getting as much alone time as you think you will once you head home. Make sure to look at this as a good thing, for it absolutely -is- a good thing.
Treat – What special gift or skill do you have that you take for granted?
Wonder and Listen – You have the ability to stand still and silent in nature and hear its rhythms, feel its energies, and allow yourself to be carried away to blend with them so that they can soothe and calm you. You haven’t been getting out in nature much this year, and you are suffering as a result.
What do you need to focus on for self-care for the upcoming new moon?
Escape – You need to start getting out in nature more now that you are back home and working at getting back into a normal stride. Just remember, as this reading has already mentioned and a previous reading also has made clear, it’s important that you take someone with you.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Different Scenarios
Prompt “The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.”
Scenario 1 – James is wondering how to improve himself after realizing he dates people who fall under the archetype of being narcissistic.
Work on how you view yourself by taking time to better examine and appreciate all you have accomplished and all that you have to be grateful for. Only when you are willing to change how you see yourself and your place in the world will you then be able to break the cycle of picking those too self centered to be committed to you and your needs.
Scenario 2 – There’s a job fair coming up, and Daniel has no idea what to do. He is torn between wanting to go for his dreams and needing to pay the bills.
A change from what you’ve been doing so far in life is needed. Seek the path that will give you a sense of accomplishment and sate you emotionally. You can over time find greater success and sense of accomplishment through changing your path, rather than staying on the one you’re currently on.
Scenario 3 – A general reading (feel free to add your own flair or a backstory).
Only through changing and growing away from what has already been done can you find a path to feeling accomplished and emotionally sated moving forward.

Questions for October 7th, 9th, and 10th
Creaky Hinge: What doors need opened to allow opportunity to enter?
Skeleton Ram atop Zombie Cat – You can be stubborn without being hard. There’s no need to butt heads and struggle or put up your armor to fight. Instead? Just do your own thing and let them deal with the aftermath.
Bewitched: What lies beneath the mask that you show the world?
Master of Zombies and Zombie Deer – You show the world you are the king of your domain and control everything around you, but beneath the mask you are more vulnerable let on and not always so ready to do battle as you appear.
Haunted: What is haunting you right now?
Devil Turtle, Devil Jackdaw atop Devil Dragon – So many eyes. So many spirits. So many crowding in for your attention right now while the veil is thin and the dead can more easily reach throgh. Just keep in mind that they are not all out for your best interests and protect yourself accordingly.

Finding the Positive for October 7 – 9
October 7
Ace of Pentacles – Approach those things you need to do today with an attitude of abundance and optimism. You have a lot of work to get done today, but if you look at it with a fresh and positive outlook instead of with dread or reluctance, everything will go much smoother in the long run and you’ll have a better day over all as a result. Remember… you enjoy your work. So -let yourself- enjoy it.

October 8
Knight of Pumpkins (Pentacles) – The knight of pentacles has gathered what he needs to begin his journey toward his goals, and you are doing the same. Remember as you work on your craft today that you don’t close yourself off to listening to those around you. The elders that are visiting today have stories to tell, both of the living and the dead, and listening to those stories can provide strength for the future through the knowledge they impart.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…
Six of Wands – Don’t let your need to please others, whether they be friends and family or customers and clients, push you into doing too much today. You have a headache and are already feeling super stressed, so just do what you can and let the rest go for another time.
