Still More to See
Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and one of the Daily Calm sessions with the Calm app. I kind of spaced out in the process of this one.
At first it had the focus on the breath, and then after a moment there was the explanation and guidance towards the topic of the meditation… but I was some at peace with my breath work that I forgot to listen.
In fact, even after the session was over, I lingered for a bit longer.
Today’s draw is the Page of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive omega energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition. This often translates into themes that have to do with the resurfacing of old relationships, delving in to explore new creative endeavors, and the growth of one’s emotional intelligence.
The imagery in this card makes me think of secrets and the things we don’t know. This fits with the Page, as there are many things that the Page has yet to learn.
The message in today’s card is a reminder that no matter how much we reveal about ourselves and our emotions, there’s still more to discover and learn. Stay open to new lessons and new discoveries.

Question for March 8th: What inner strength can I draw on to empower myself?
Reading Summary: Your independence allows you to not worry so much about what others think (Six of Wands Rx) when opportunities knock (Ace of Rings), instead you look at what works best for you and furthers your core goals of stability and comfort (Four of Wands).
Take Away: Your independence is one of your greatest strengths. This does not mean that you do everything yourself or have to stand alone, but rather that you know what you like and are not vulnerable to peer pressures.
This strength allows you to stay true to your own goals and desires when new opportunities arise instead of becoming distracted by what others want or think you should do.

Philosophical Question for March 8th: Is love an inherent emotion, or is it learned behavior?
Reading Summary: Everyone sees love differently (The Hanged Man). It can be a bane that hangs around the neck and makes us miserable (Nine of Swords), or an elixir of life we are forever grateful for (Three of Cups).
Take Away: These cards indicate that love as itself is absolutely inherent and something that we all have within us and the ability to experience.
That doesn’t mean we all react to it or experience it in the same way, though, nor view it in the same light. For some it’s a blessing, for others a curse. It all depends on your perspective, and the experiences that you have along the way.

I took a really long nap today. I’ve been feeling a little prickly like I’m coming down with something, but the napping seems to help. Ibuprofen as well.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Fool
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 – 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.
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.

DECKS USED: MODERN LOVE TAROT, BEYOND TAROT, TAROT DNAXCAT, THE LITTLE NEMO TAROT
Goal Oriented Snail’s Pace
Today’s meditation was skipped.
Today’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of an projective beta energy in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, manifestations, and the physical world. The Knight of Pentacles has a “go get’em” energy, but moves at a slower pace and marches to the beat of their own drum.
The fact that the moose in the imagery stands at the top of the mountain shows that even if we’re moving at a slow pace, we can reach our goals.
It might take longer than we anticipate, as instead of racing headlong, we’re moving at a snails pace… at the same time? You can still get there with a little patience, effort, and focus.

Question for March 7th: National Cereal Day – What three small things can you do to improve your physical health?
Spiritualité – Keeping that spiritual connection thriving supports your physical health, whether you realize it or not. It provides you with the strength to keep going and to connect with yourself in greater depth.
La Confiance Dirigée – Stay on track with your goals. This isn’t a huge endeavor, but rather is as small and easy as keeping your goals in mind even at the times when you’re not actively working on them. By keeping your eye upon the ball, even during times of rest, you allow yourself to continue working towards those goals instead of losing sight of them along the way.
Sa Majesté le Chêne – Allow yourself time in nature. You have neglected this a lot of late, but you need that time among the trees and moss. You need time to enjoy and breathe in the sweet solitude and allow yourself to sit with nature and enjoy.

@Lionharts #TheMarchTarot Wander Lust Challenge Prompt
Question for March 7th: How can I use nature to cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace?
Reading Summary: You can benefit from more stability (Four of Pentacles) in the development of your emotional intelligence (Page of Cups) by stepping outside and spending more time in nature (The World).
Take Away: You have lost touch with just how much being in nature can help you to find inner peace. Step outside and into nature, soak up the gift that the trees and liminal spaces have for you. Allow yourself to feel their stability and strength.
Inclement weather has been a bit of a struggle. First the heat of summer, the holiday rush is it’s own beast, then again when the weather became dangerously cold this winter. That is no longer an excuse, though. You have a habit on procrastinating on those things you need most… but this is one of them you should take care not to add to that list.
