Prompt: Have you ever seen a meme and suddenly thought “This meme is such a Fool Card moment!”? This activity is based off of our love for the almighty meme and how we associate tarot with the world around us. Pick (or randomly draw) between three to five cards from your deck. For each card, pick (or find) a meme that you feel fits that card perfectly.
Today’s meditation was skipped.
Today’s draw is the Star card, which is traditionally a representation of hope, spirituality, peace, rejuvenation, and connection with one’s spirituality to the world around them and their inner selves.
I don’t usually include guidebook quotes in my daily cards, but this is a brand new deck and I was curious about the moth on the card. What I found was a beautiful explanation of the imagery that I wanted to share. “Rosy Maple Moths are known as a symbol of hope. Their bright colours renew a sense of peace and joy as well. The ametrine point in the back represents spiritual clarity while white peace lilies are symbolistic of renewal and rejuvenation.”
Today’s card is a reminder to keep things fresh and stay optimistic. I’ve been struggling a bit with negativity lately, and where negativity starts to slide in and whisper in my ear, the slippery slope of an MDE starts sneaking up to try and pull me in. I would very much like to try and avoid an episode this year. The Star card and its rosy maple moth are a reminder to keep working at that optimism. Keep pushing for it and seeking a positive outlook. Keep trying. Don’t stop.

Questions for January 24th and 25th
How can I best embrace my best unique, authentic self?
The Lovers and Eight of Wands Rx – Slow down enough to make better choices. You’re used to moving at full speed ahead and making decisions on the fly, but it’s important sometimes to take a slower approach and give yourself some time to think and weigh your options in order to truly find your best and healthiest option.
By embracing and being myself fully and truly, I allow myself to…
Seven of Cups and Strength – Make the choices that are right for you without becoming overwhelmed in the effort. When you don’t know yourself, it’s harder to make the best choices you can. Allowing yourself to fully accept and embrace your true self gives you the unique perspective of being able to better identify the best choices possible that are laid out before you.
Lots of Gideon time today, which I needed desperately.

around us

I feel safe

What needs innovating.
Snake and Crossroads – Escapism is not the answer to anything. When you fall into times of excess sleep, screwing around with games on your phone, and spacing out for no reason… what are you trying to run away from? What are you hiding from? It’s time to take a look at these habits and look at finding not only what’s spurring them on, but ways to turn those tendencies around so that they do not become unhealthy habits (as they have done in the past).
Where to be self-reliant.
Stars and Bouquet – You make beautiful and inspired jewelry. You take breathtaking, eye catching photos. You create beauty out of nothing and share it with the world in so many ways. Be confident in your creativity, in your skills, and in the belief that they are not just worthy of admiration but that others will truly love what you create and share with the world.
Where to think outside the box.
Tree and Clover – You need to look at the things you are doing to sustain and improve your health, and begin looking at them in a different way. This isn’t about changing what you’re doing, but it’s about not seeing them as chores or inconveniences. It’s about turning a more positive outlook to these things so that they become joys instead of something to slog your way through.
Where I could use some positive reinforcement.
Letter, Mountains, Stork – Change is not easy and when you are set on making changes and end up with news news landing in your lap that lead to roadblocks? It can be extremely hard to see past those moments to stay motivate for that change that you’re striving for. Remember that setbacks doesn’t mean a dead end.

Today’s draw is the lucky pig king Arkan Sonney, representing good fortune.
The message here is in the delicate swirls and warm colors, and in the sweet smile on that little king’s mouth.
This card is a reminder as you work to appreciate the fact that you choose what you do for a living. You enjoy what you do for a living. You create… manifesting ideas into reality, pulling beauty out of the ether and into the world for others to cherish and enjoy.
You have the good fortune to be able to do what you love… to share your passions with others… and to use that manifestation magic within you to uplift those around you and improve their lives. Remember to look at and recognize just how very lucky you truly are.

Questions for January 24th & 25th
What does your inner child crave that you’ve been ignoring?
The Swamp Oracle and Ancient Storm Coatl – You always push yourself to do everything on your own, when instead it would be better to seek out advice and get help.
Seeking advice and help in order to resolve a problem or complete a project does not make you weak. Instead, it gives you strength that can be carried forward into the future.
What concession can you make to provide for this inner child’s craving?
Ancient Reef Dragon and Elder Batcat – Realize that your life is not solitary. Even as unsocial as you are, your life is a community of connections and combined strengths. Be aware of those times when you need those strengths that you don’t personally possess, but your community does. This way, instead of putting unrealistic expectations on yourself, you can accomplish what needs done better, easier, and quicker by employing their strengths to your cause.
