Don’t Run

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Black Cats Tarot - The TowerToday’s draw is the Tower card, which is traditionally a representation of sudden and chaotic change, a forced transition, and tearing down old establishments and constructs.

For a minute when I first looked at this card, the tower looks like it had a humanoid shape with the cats being arms and the crack down along the earth being a leg. It looked like the figure was ducking and running for cover.

Change is good. How can you build something better and more stable unless you tear down the old shit first?

Question for August 20th and 22nd

The Smith & Morty TarotAs an adult, where am I neglecting myself at this time?

Ten of Pentacles and Nine of Cups Rx – You are sacrificing your happiness for stability.  A little bit of sacrifice can be a good thing, but you’re taking it a bit too far.

How can I begin to resolve this pattern of neglect?

Wheel of Fortune and Eight of Pentacles Rx – Through good times and bad you need to make sure that you’re taking time off, and not focusing so hard on work that you’re missing everything else around you and distancing yourself from what really matters.

Questions for August 19th and 20th

Black Cats TarotWhere can I be more charitable with my time/feelings/thoughts?

The Emperor and Ten of Pentacles – Don’t be so goddamn judgy with yourself about what makes you feel safe, secure, and in control; and pick up on your meditation in order to inject a more stable feeling into your life.

Notation: The reading of these two cards is 100% about the imagery, and not what the cards are in the Tarot. The imagery and message (shoved down my throat) from the cards in this instance supersedes everything else.

Where is my biggest opportunity to prosper?

The Devil Rx and Five of Pentacles – Use your feelings of scarcity to avoid overspending.

Well no shit.

Daily Self Kindness

I am playing some serious catch up and I have no idea what the self-kindness for this day might have been.

Everything Is Temporary

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was (yes, once again) skipped.

Trick or Tarot and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Seven of Swords, which is traditionally about strategizing, getting away with something, cunning and/or clever behavior, and… well, thievery and other illicit acts.

I left the  hospital today and went directly to get my phone replaced, aware that Gideon had to be freaking OUT.  I’m sore… I hurt.  But I’m fine.  L has to stay for now, but should be able to come home tomorrow if all goes well.

The person that hit us?  Got away. The police are looking for them, and said they will update me when they have any news.

The hit and run driver?  There right there is our Seven of Swords. The theme of these cards today is reassurance. A reminder that things -will- work out, and that everything is temporary… even this.

Questions for October 13th and 14th

The Witches World Oracle and Black Cats TarotOmen, sign or prophecy, what will the thirteenth reveal to me?

Charge forward with your plan (Knight of Swords), while staying focused on the goal (Rosemary). By being flexible and shifting your patronage to this new service (Willow), you’re going after more monetary rewards (Knight of Pentacles).

The Knight of Pentacles is a slow-moving energy, and these rewards may not show up all at once, but it’s about damn time you switched over to something that isn’t price gouging the hell out of you each month. Be patient.

Of all things that keep me afraid, what do I fear that is here to aid?

I fear that by standing back and taking things slow (Rabbit), no matter how capable I am or the amount of tools at my disposal (The Magician) will allow me to reach a place of happiness and comfort (Ten of Cups).

Sometimes fear works as a motivator, or at least, I used to use it as one. Now that I’m trying to be kinder to myself and ease up on how demanding of myself that I am, that fear is no longer channeled into pushing harder and sort of hovers there, unresolved and without an outlet.   Perhaps it’s time to find a new outlet for it.

Philosophical Question for October 13th: What awaits us after we pass to the other side of the veil?

Trick or Tarot DeckReading Summary: We will have to decide (Two of Swords) on whether we want to pause in limbo for a while (Nine of Swords), or leap back into the fray right away (Knight of Swords).

Take Away: I’m actually surprised that the answer here coincides with my own beliefs, or at least a part of my beliefs on what happens after death.

I believe that we reincarnate in order to continue on with our soul’s lessons and improve ourselves… or, we pause in limbo for one reason or another, and then if we forget how to move on, we end up as a ghost.

I napped, even though I really needed some more time with Gideon.  I was so exhausted and I let myself take a long nap, which helped quite a bit.
