Money & Finances Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “This week, let’s look at our finances. I know it can be a stressful topic, and many of us are often struggling, so let’s talk to our divination tool of choice about where we can cut back, how we can make better use of what we have, and maybe even how we can make it better (maybe it’s a good time to ask for a raise?)”

Money and Finance Cartomancy Reading with the Visual Crystal Healing Playing CardsWhere can I cut back financially at this time to ease my financial stress a bit?

Two of Clubs / Serpentine –  Instead of plowing full speed ahead on every new idea you become passionate about trying, ease back and give yourself a bit more time for rest and recuperation.  Those ideas will still be there later on as long as you write them down so you don’t forget about them.

How can I make better use of what I have coming in right now?

Six of Hearts / Pearl – Make a greater effort to consciously appreciate all that you have and how fortunate you truly are, rather than always pushing yourself to reach for more.

What can I do at this time to improve my financial situation?

Queen of Clubs / Alexandrite – Don’t be lackadaisical about improving your finances. Pour your energy and determination into it.  You use this tactic to get new projects off the ground and get yourself what you want and need in other areas of your life.  It can work in this one too if you lean into it and put your energy into helping it grow and flourish.

How can I better appreciate how fortunate I am financially rather than always looking for more?

Four of Hearts / Amazonite – Meditate on what you have and find ways in which to better enjoy it instead of allowing restlessness to creep in.  It is within the stillness that you will find what you need to quell that “demon” within you that is constantly seeking more.

Imbolc Lenormand Reading with the Carta Mundi Lenormand

To be left in the dark.

Book and Moon – Interesting that these are the exact same two cards that were handed to me as being what to focus on this week in my self-care Saturday reading… inverted. Here you are being told that focusing too hard on your mental health issues could be a problem.

What will the light bring?

Rider and Sun – There is a need to lean into optimism and positivity more deeply, and in doing so it will perpetuate itself. Just like a smile is contagious, so too can that positivity and optimism spread to other parts of your life and permeate them if you make an effort to allow it to do so.

Intention needed for my body.

Cross and Anchor – Make sure that you are doing the practices that you know help you in grounding your chronic pain issues. Physiotherapy. Yoga. Meditation, and the extra stretching. Treating the scars with emollients. All of it is a part of the process that keeps your pain under control.

Intentions needed for my Spirit.

Broom and Ring –  Don’t punish yourself for breaking obligations that are no longer working for you. Just end of them and move on.

Healing advice.

Garden and Birds – Spend more time with others. It’s good for you right now.

Finding Rest Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “Let’s ask our divination tool of choice how we can better find rest in our lives, what we need a break from, and how we can get more of the downtime we need!“

Standarte 1815 Playing CardsWhat do I need a break from?

King of Hearts and Ten of Spades – Subdrop. Mini-death-and-rebirth moments of misery that lie at Gideon’s feet. There’s been a bit of a struggle with this lately and avoidance because of it. Maybe it’s time to try something new for a bit rather than going onward with the same.

How can I better find rest in my life?

Ace of Spades and Queen of Diamonds – Communicate your needs clearly and allow others to help in fulfilling them. You don’t have to deal with everything all on your own all the time.  Let others assist you in finding the answers you need.

How can I get more of the down time I need?

Eight of Hearts and Four of Diamonds – Put down “want to” efforts and focus on only the “need to” things on your list for a while. Pressuring yourself into doing more just because you can doesn’t make it good or healthy for you.

How can I get the most benefit out of my down time?

Nine of Spades atop Two of Diamonds – Do not allow your worries and anxieties to drive you into unbalanced behaviors.

Don’t Wanna Know Lenormand Reading

Blue Night Lenormand

Something you left behind.

Lily and Coffin – You have made peace with your loss of the loved one that passed recently. There was some guilt over your atypical grieving process and how others might perceive it, but you processed through it well and have moved past it.

Something you’re doing now.

Mice and Bear – Undermining authority figures is not usually your style, but desperate times call for desperate measures. There’s a good chance this isn’t going to turn out how you want, but no one can fault you for trying.

How you’re living honestly.

Broom and Stork – You are willing to look at those things you don’t like about yourself and work on them.  This process requires an acceptance of your flaws, for only when you can accept that there’s a problem can you begin the long process of transformation and healing.

A Helping Hand Lenormand Reading with The Twilight Canticle Lenormand

Where to Find Focus

Whip and Stars – Stay single minded in your determination to lean into positive, thinking, and optimism. You need this in order to counteract the pessimism and negative inner narratives that come so naturally to you.

Challenge to Come

Lady and Heart – A woman in your life that you hold near and dear may become a bit challenging in the weeks in months ahead.

Encouragement

Fish and Crossroads – Go with the flow and let it take you where it needs to go. Don’t fight against the current because you want to choose a different direction. Sometimes choosing where you want to go in a situation isn’t an option.

Warming Up Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “For many of us in the northern hemisphere, it’s been cold, so let’s do talk to our divination tool of choice how to warm up.”

Constellation Playing CardsWhere could I benefit from more warmth in my life?

King of Diamonds (Deneb Kaitos) – The King of Diamonds is a rigid card indicating a “fixed” position in the Deneb Kaitos star.  This often translates into self-destruction by change that is forced upon us, sickness, or disgrace/shame.  The King of Diamonds can be a ruthless king, rigid in his ways and unwilling to bend.  Make sure that you are not sinking into this rigid stance and allowing stagnancy to creep in and take over.  You need movement to keep life’s blood flowing, and your life healthy and happy.

How could I start the process of instilling this warmth where it’s needed?

Seven of Clubs (Horologium) – The Horologium constellation represents a pendulum clock.  Combined with the Seven of Clubs, it speaks of there being an ebb and flow to times when there is harmony in your life with others, and times when there is not, and it reminds us to take advantage of opportunities to connect and create positive ties with others of similar beliefs and values that can be there for you when things turn to being not at their best in your life later on.

From who (or in what way) do I need help in bringing that warmth to life?

Ten of Spades (Pictor) – The painter’s easel is what the constellation Equuleus Pictoris represents. It reminds us, when combined with the Ten of Spades, that when we paint the picture of our lives we need to deal with painful endings with grace and dignity.  Just because it hurts doesn’t mean we should lash out.  Sometimes, it means that the lesson to be learned wants to make sure we’re paying attention.  How will you paint your picture… what will you see when you look back at the most difficult times in your life? Will you see someone of strength? Or will you shy away from looking because you’re unhappy with what’s there?

What would be the benefit of welcoming this warmth into my life?

Five of Spades (Telescopium) – Your scarcity issues have been a long term problem in your life, and will continue to be for a good long time moving forward.  That doesn’t mean that we give up, but rather that we look ahead and plan… dream… work towards overcoming their negative influences in the future.  Reach for help instead of turning away from it, and face forward toward the future.

Is instilling this warmth into my life a long journey, or a short trip?

Two of Diamonds (Serpens) – Never Ending.  The Serpens constellation is a representation of a serpent and, when I think of serpents in a metaphysical sense, they always reflect back to the ouroboros. This ties into the constant necessity to foster balance, as balance is never stagnant and always changing.  A little weight one way or another and the effort to balance needs to be shifted, again and again and again.  There is no finish line, for constant and/or consistent balance requires constant and/or consistent change, and the cycle feeds into itself, never ending.

What are the possible repercussions of leaving things alone?

Five of Diamonds (Taurus) – Again, we see stagnancy, and an inability to ask for help, as well as a refusal to receive it even if it is available to you.  Lonely, stagnant, and miserable.  Not to mention broke.
