Britt's Third Eye Tarot - King of CupsToday’s draw is the King of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of oneโ€™s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition. This often translates into themes that have to do with strong leaders with understanding and emotionally supportive qualities.

What stands out to me the most in this card is the fact that the King of Cups holds a scale.ย  This isn’t the norm for the King of Cups, and yet it is fitting.

Gideon is my personal King of Cups, and he certainly assists me in staying in balance.ย  Not only that, but he seems to do it so smoothly and easily that it seems to weigh pretty much nothing at all.

Today’s card is a reminder that it’s okay to lean into those that help you in finding balance. It’s okay to need others and to let them in and let them help.ย  Everyone has different strengths, and it’s okay to appreciate and lean on those that have strengths that you do not.

Due to all the drama and crazy shit that’s gone on this week, I’ve extended my time off a few days to try and catch some of the rest that I just don’t feel like I’m getting.

Little kisses
scatter
over skin
in light brushes
that tingle
and sometimes
sting
as you awaken
sensations
gone quiet
until
warm breath
and soft touches
slowly
drive sanity
far away

Savoring Small Joys

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Tarot of the Celtic Fairies - Three of SwordsToday’s draw is the Three of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of heartache, hurt, grief, and emotional pain.

What draws my eye in this card’s imagery is (not surprisingly) the two swans in flight at the bottom of the card that are tethered to each other.

What I see here is a message about savoring the moment… each moment, instead of allowing setbacks to hold you back from experiencing any joy at all.

The freedom of flight is possible, even when tethered.ย  It might not be as great as when you are free of leash and without ties… but that doesn’t mean it has to be so disappointing that you don’t try at all and stop looking for little joys that make the experience still worthwhile.

Time is precious
and sweet
when spent
by your side
even
in times
when the cold air
whips around
and sharp little
snowflakes
sting against
the skin
because with you
everything
is perfect

Don’t Waste It

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Enchanted Love Tarot - Princess of Roses - Page of WandsToday’s draw is the Prince of Roses (Knight of Wands), which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of oneโ€™s passions, drive, willpower, and determination. This often translates into themes that have to do with going after oneโ€™s passions with a โ€œall systems goโ€ mentality, and diving headlong into those things that kindle oneโ€™s โ€œinner sparkโ€.

The Knight of Wands is often considered a mover and a shaker. There is so much energy bounding forward, eager and ready to dive into any passion set before them.

Showing up today, this card is a reminder that you have this energy within you as well.ย  It’s short lived, though, just like the rose in the figure’s hand on the card.ย  Once set loose to fly, it will only last so long.ย  Make sure you don’t waste a single moment of it, so that when the time comes to recharge?ย  You’re happy with the progress you’ve made.

#DiscordTarotholicsFeb2023 Challenge Prompt
Question for February 23rd
: Where in life is curiosity seeking your attention?

Golden Age of Romance Comics TarotReading Summary: Explore themes stability (King of Pentacles) and new ways of obtaining that security that you desire (Knight of Cups), but remember that if you move too slow and wait too long (Page of Pentacles), it might end up less fun than you thought and more responsibility than you’re ready for (The Emperor).

Take Away: Strike while the iron is hot.ย  Those things you want most like stability and security are within your reach if you’re ready to actively explore the opportunities that are arising.

Just make sure if you move too slowly you might miss out on the fun parts and be stuck with just another responsibility that needs tending to. Don’t let that happen.

@Lionharts #TheFebruaryTarot Queen of Cups Challenge Prompt
Questions for February 23rd and 24th

Enchanted Love Tarot and Anatomy of a Witch OracleWhat dreams should I follow that I have not taken action on?

The Hermit and Serpent – You crave alone time, and yet you know that at the time being it is not healthy for you and can be dangerous instead of healing. Especially if you’re not careful with how you spend it and where. This doesn’t mean that you need to set the idea of alone time aside, but that you need to take care in how you indulge in it.

What bigger goal should I still aim to achieve moving forward?

Align and Ace of Gems – It can be hard to take advantage of new opportunities that come your way when you constantly feel like your plate is already full. You need to continue working towards finding a balance between responsibility and allowing others to help, so that you can provide yourself space for those opportunities when they arise.

For a moment
I am left
fascinated
as snowflakes
turn to
little slivers
of ice
that gather
together
into powder
and coat
the world
one minuscule
bit and piece
at a time
