September 16

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Swords – “Your struggle is not an indication of failure”, it is a valuable learning experience to help you guide others later on down the road. When you experience hardships, you are better able to help others through their own.  This is not you failing, but rather it is you becoming a stronger, better, more understanding human being. Without struggle and hardship there can be no growth, and without growth you cannot help others from a stable place of trust and understanding.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Five of Wands – I don’t see a lot of conflict in this particular Five of Wands (which is usually what the Five of Wands is all about), but what I do see is a determination to stand up  for what you believe in, even if it means being solitary in your endeavors.  Today’s cards are a reminder that not everything can be a group effort, and it’s not the end of the world if you and those important to you aren’t copacetic on every aspect of life.  Variety is just as important as common ground, so don’t write off friendships or family just because they believe differently than you do.  Instead, hold your own beliefs close, and accept that they do the same for theirs.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Listen to Gideon.

Praise from Gideon

Nine of Pentacles – Take stock of all that you’ve done and how hard you’ve worked. Look at what you’ve accomplished. Don’t spend so much time focusing on what you didn’t manage to do and what still needs to be done that you miss out on praising yourself for the monumental amount of stuff you have.

What Makes the Journey Worthwhile

Today’s meditation was skipped (again).

Cats Rule the Earth Tarot - Three of WandsToday’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of forward movement, advancing, plans set to action, and opportunity.

Sunflowers.  That’s what catches my attention in this card, and it’s an interesting choice for a card that traditionally holds a depiction of a figure looking out to sea and a whole lot of water.

Sunflowers are a symbol of happiness and joy, and what I see as the message in this card is actually an encouragement to make sure that when you begin to act on your plans that you’re heading in a direction that will include happiness and joy in the journey.

Don’t forsake how important these qualities are, or how important it is to instill these qualities in any journey you undertake in life.  They are what makes the journey worthwhile.

Questions for September 28th thru 30th – LESSONS

Medicina de los Animales de la Cruz del SurWhat did my September journey help establish for me?

Yarará – It provided you with the rest, respite, awareness, and clarity needed to prepare for what’s ahead. It was a time of pause that is helping in getting ready for the busy season to come.

How am I invited to build upon September moving forward?

Lechuza – Turn those qualities gained through September toward helping you nurture the success you wish to achieve (as opposed to trying to force it) over the next three months.

What am I guided to graciously part with or move away from starting October 1st?

Águila – Take care that as the veil between the spirit world and ours thins, you aren’t allowing those coming through to hinder or hold you back. You have had this experience in the past, depending on who decides to come through, and it’s not something you need to add to your plate this year.

Questions for September 27th and 28th

Cats Rule the Earth Tarot and Glowwood OracleWhat is falling?

The High Priestess – The time to linger and explore the secrets of the world around you (and those within you as well) is coming to a close. This time, as it does each year, will put a good part of your intuition into a holding pattern while you deal with other more logic driven concerns and physical world matters that need your attention.

What is rising?

The Chariot – In place of your amble through what (should usually be) the unknown and the secrets that lie there, you will be swept up into the control and drive needed for the tasks ahead. You know how you want the next three months to go, and your determination and control are rising up to make sure it goes just how you want it to.

Finding Balance Between the Two – Look to those that you trust and give you a sense of home and safety (Earwig), to help in preparing for the road ahead (Limestone). You’re not in this alone, so don’t make yourself do it all alone.

Where do you feel respected?

Death – You feel expected when it comes to leading the way through change and helping others through the process. Others notice the sense of stability and support that you bring to these situations far more than you notice doing so.

Where do you feel disrespected?

Two of Cups Rx – There are times that when you don’t see eye to eye with someone, you perceive this as disrespect instead of just a difference of opinion or a differing perspective. This is usually tied into how the differing opinion is presented to you.

Finding Balance Between the Two – Be an inspiration to yourself and others (Snow Lichen) by rising above miscommunication and struggles to understand (The Hornbeam). Work at staying aware of the fact that people look to you for guidance and a sense of strength and stability, even when you aren’t aware it’s happening.

Daily Self Kindness

I really didn’t want to get up and go check, but when Gid asked me to go make sure I hadn’t missed any doses of my meds, I went and did it anyway.  (This seems like a stupid self-kindness, but there was some real inner resistance there for some reason.)
