Just Watch… Don’t Touch

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Sasuraibito Tarot Tiny Traveler EditionToday’s draw is the Emperor card, which is traditionally a representation of taking charge, responsibility, authority, and making decisions for the greater good.

Sometimes, you  have to stand back and allow others to make their own decisions.  It’s how people grow, and if you make all the decisions for them, they never really learn how to do that for themselves.

Sometimes, I have a habit of getting impatient and wanting to step in and be in control just to move things along.  Today’s card is a reminder that it’s okay to step back instead of stepping forward. In fact, sometimes when you watch someone flounder and stew, you can actually see their strength and capabilities growing in those moments.

Questions for July 19th thru 21st

Modified Sands Regency Casino Playing CardsWhat am I giving {away} to the world around me?

Four of Spades and Seven of Diamonds (Birds) – Space and time. Check in when you need to, to make sure that everything’s still going smoothly. But you’re giving them space and time to find their own way.

What am I receiving {back} from the world around me?

Two of Clubs and King of Diamonds (Fish) – You’re being given the room to find your own direction and flow in the direction of exploring a more grounded and authoritative place in the world. This is the process of growth that leads to one’s ability to be able to delegate more effectively.

How can I find acceptance in the current balance of things?

Nine of Diamonds (Coffin) and Queen of Hearts (Stork) – Make room for better things to come. You can’t keep everything from the past, no matter how attached or comforted you may feel by these things.  If you want a brighter and more healthy future, you have to let go and trust better is coming to take its place.

#DiscordTarotholicsJul2022 Challenge Prompt
National Daiquiri Day – Where in life can you allow yourself to cut loose and relax?

Sasuraibito Tarot Tiny Traveler EditionReading Summary:  You need to stop looking at everything as as if the cup is half empty (Four of Cups atop Nine of Pentacles) as it perpetuates within you the feeling of needing to fix everything in order to make it right (Eight of Cups). You’re not responsible for fixing the world and everything in it (The Emperor).

Take Away: Sometimes when you try to help, it does more harm than good.  Step back instead.  Watch from a distance and remain quiet.  Everyone has to make their own mistakes sometimes in order to learn and grow.   Instead, identify the boon that comes from keeping your hands off the situation and letting it get worked out on its own without your involvement.

Cool Down and Chill Out 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 hot, and heat for a lot of us can translate to stress. So for this week’s challenge, let’s ask the cards what we can do to cool down and chill out.”

The Odd Fellows Playing Cards Sir Octo EditionCool Down

Six of Hearts – Spend some time with those that make you feel good, and remember that sometimes lawn sprinklers aren’t just for kids.

Seven of Diamonds – Be patient with yourself and others. The heat can make you cranky and that can then in turn just make you that much hotter.

Chill Out

Queen of Clubs atop Ace of Diamonds – Don’t let the opportunity pass you by to have a little fun. You aren’t too old for a little silliness.

Rainy Day Cartomancy Reading with the Cabinetarium Playing Cards

What emotional baggage am I holding on to too tightly?

Ace of Diamonds – That all of your new ideas for structure and stability are automatically going to fail. That the old ideas and processes are the only thing that will work for you, and thus you’re stuck in this specific rhythm of behavior and methods if you want to succeed.

What aspects of it can I let go of?

Jack of Diamonds – You are not a new hand at this. Let go of the trepidation and pessimistic mindset that can often come when you really want something to work. Just because your negative inner narrative says it will fail doesn’t mean it will. You don’t always have to take these new ideas slow and careful, and feeling things out instead of jumping in without looking first isn’t always the best course.

How do I let go of this baggage?

Three of Hearts – Trust others to provide honest input that can give you a more positive view and confidence that you can leap without looking at every pebble and grain of and first. Allow yourself to open up to new possibilities through the confidence gained by leaning into others thoughts and opinions.

Aspects of Self Lenormand Reading with the Binx Lenormand

Shifting Mindset – Ship and Birds – Don’t allow yourself to become overwhelmed by all of the small responsibilities that come with the day to day running of your business.  You need to start looking at starting your own site now that you’re surfacing out of the depression and will have an easier time dealing with all that’s involved with this. 

Open Heart – Ring and Bear – Be open to the possibility of new opportunities to make money.  Watch closely what you agree to, and be protective of what you have… but not to the point that you close yourself off to new opportunities that could be good for you.

Soul Awareness – Woman and Whip – Keep in mind that when emotions run high, people often lash out in ways they wouldn’t normally. During these times, take a breath and a step back to stay calm and level headed instead of allowing their emotions to carry you away with them into a less stable mindset.

Support Lenormand Reading with the Cat Lenormand

In what area of my life do I need more support from others?

Tower and Child – Your inner child needs their watchful diligence to help support and encourage it to emerge and feel safe in doing so. So many times you shut down your inner child and hide it away, feeling unsafe in expressing yourself in this way. With their support and assistance in feeling safe and secure doing so, that side of your personality would be able to emerge more often and have a greater presence in your life as a whole.

How will this help me to reach greater heights?

Heart and Garden – You have always struggled with getting close to others, even in your social circle.  Making your inner child feel secure through a help with others will provide a greater amount of emotional openness and connection to others, without feeling as if you you are putting yourself at risk in doing so.

How can I put aside my pride and ask for help?

Ship and Ring – Start with Gideon. He makes you feel safer than anyone, regardless of the physical distance between the two of you. You trust him to help you, to protect you.  You can trust him with your inner child as well.

Wild and Free Lenormand Reading with the Steampunk Lenormand

In what way am I feeling confined?

Cross and House – Too much time indoors will make you feel stagnant and stymied. So much of your spiritual path can be taken outside, so stop trying to do it all indoors. With spring arriving, the weather is turning and you have plenty of opportunity to step out into the fresh air now.

What part of me wants to grow more wild and free?

Snake and Tree – There is a warning here that you need to get to a doctor and get checked out.  Something is wrong physically, and it’s time to deal with it so that it is not given the opportunity to “grow more wild and free” in your body or your life.  Call the doc.

What will I attract if I open up and allow my true colors to shine?

Coffin and Bear – A shift in abundance of resources for the better.  This will allow for a greater amount of security through the boon that these changes can offer.
