Prompt for April 21st : turning of seasons
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

The Bearot Deck - The Tower

Today’s draw is The Tower card, which is traditionally a representation of sudden change, chaotic transformation, destruction, and the tearing down of something within one’s life or beliefs that leaves room for something new to take its place.

Sometimes changes can feel like the end of the world, when really they’re just the natural progression of something moving through its cycle.

Nothing is able to stay stagnant forever. The universe ensures that everything goes through a cycle of beginnings and endings. Sometimes, like the shift from summer to fall, these changes come with a lot of flash and bang. Thunder and lightning fills the sky as the temperatures above change and clouds clash. Yet, if we stayed in summer forever, the world would dry out and become barren like a desert. That change into fall is necessary, even if it comes with the violent flash and bang of transitions.

The message in today’s Tower card and the “turning of seasons” prompt, shines a spotlight upon how our own lives follow a similar pattern as we transition from one “season” of experience into the next. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing just because there’s a violence to the transition. When you weather the storm to get out the other side, you often find something new and wonderful waiting there for you. Don’t give up.

The Rise Prompt for April 21st :Where am I being asked to take the lead in my own life?

Tarot Reading with the Blooming Cat Tarot

Reading Summary: You can achieve more (two mature court cards) both in your efforts toward stability (King of Wands) and your journey to understanding your emotions (Queen of Cups) if you ensure that you don’t overwhelm yourself by putting too much on your plate at once (Ten of Wands Rx).

Take Away: Take the initiative to make sure that you aren’t taking on more than you can handle right now… or for that matter, more than you want to handle. After all, what you can handle and what you want to handle are two very different things.

Remember when you put too much on your plate, it stunts your growth overall and holds you back far more than it ever helps you in moving forward. You feel like you’re making progress simply because you’re constantly busy, but in truth you’re not making any real progress on anything because you time, energy, and efforts are being spread too thin.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Oak Branch with Moss and Lichen for Perseverance
Calcite for Gently Calming the Mind and Stimulating Insights
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

@lightningwildflower‘s April Energetic Shifts Challenge
ReleasePrompt for April 21st : What emotional tension do I need to let go?

Tarot Reading with The Bearot Deck

Reading Summary: You need to remember that your feelings of scarcity (Five of Pentacles) are not a sign of failure to create stability in your life (King of Pentacles Rx). Look at these feelings with a sharp and clear focus (Queen of Swords) and sit with them a bit (The Hanged Man) to suss out their true source.

Take Away: Stop blaming your feelings of scarcity on some imagined failure, or when you feel that you’re not doing things right right or not doing enough. This isn’t the source of your scarcity.

Only if you’re willing to sit with it and examine it, picking it apart to look at it from all sides, will you be able to see these feelings of scarcity clearly, as well as be able to see the source that these feelings are born from.

To let go of these feelings, delve into them deeper and seek out their source instead of allowing them to use your negative inner narratives to feed their growth.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lodgepole Pine for Resilience, Growth, and Renewal
Holly Leaf for assistance in Gentling Negative Emotions
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration, Clarity, and Determination
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

The Benefits of Friendship

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Daily Calm with the Calm appToday’s meditation was twelve minutes long, and was another of the Daily Calm sessions with the Calm app. The topic of the session was about discerning what is right for you, and how to let go of the things that aren’t.

I’ve never had too difficult of a time with knowing what’s right for me and what isn’t, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t struggled more than once to let go of those things that aren’t a good fit.

The problem for me isn’t in the identification, but in the feeling of expectation of what I think -should- be good for me vs what really is.  Well, and a dose of self-destructive tendencies added in.

Blooming Cat Tarot - Two of CupsToday’s draw is the Two of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of unions, duality, and partnerships in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, and creativity. This often comes across as harmonious attractions and themes of mutual attraction, although not always in a romantic manner.

What stands out to me in the imagery of today’s card is the symbolism above the two cats, which speaks to me of how those that are close at heart with you have an effect upon you.

Those closest to you that you connect with most deeply are connected to us on many levels. Their influence has an effect upon your health, your well being, and your peace of mind.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder to acknowledge the good that your loved ones create in your life.  Even if we don’t get along with them -all- the time?  That good influence remains.Don’t close yourself off to these influences and cherish those that are good for you.

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2023 Challenge Prompt
Question for March 9th: Get Over It Day – What trauma from your past is ready to be healed and released?

Blooming Cat OracleReading Summary: It’s time to turn over a new leaf (Learn) and begin allowing others in instead of holding them at a distance (Connect). In doing so you can change your life for the better, as you have already begun to see (Rotation).

Take Away: You have spent the lion share of your life holding yourself apart from others. Just recently you have begun letting them in more, allowing them to have more of a connection with you and spend more time with you. In doing so, you have begun to realize the benefits of these connections more and more, and enjoy their company more as well.

Those that hurt you are long gone and others have come to take their place that love you and cherish you.  Embrace the change-out of those left behind for those that you connect with so closely.

@Lionharts #TheMarchTarot Wander Lust Challenge Prompt
Question for March 9th: How can the Universe help me manifest what I want to attract?

Blooming Cat Tarot - The Tower, Three of Swords, Ace of CupsReading Summary: Tower moments (The Tower) and disappointments (Three of Swords) are the universe’s way of telling you that something needs to change in order for better things to come (Ace of Cups).

Take Away: Shit happens.  Sometimes unexpectedly and with a great deal of pain and disappointment.  It can be extremely difficult to swallow these bitter pills and take it on the chin when things begin to fall apart.

The universe gives you these moments, though, in order to clear out what is in the way of something even better coming along that has the potential to make you even happier than before.
