Matronua Tarot's Two of Swords and Chakra Mandalas DeckDaily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Two of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of crossroads, difficult decisions, needing more information, seeking inward for answers, weighing one’s options, and sometimes avoidance.

As someone that works in mediumship and is sensitive to energies, I can (at least for myself) definitively say that we are not alone.

Nor, as we move along our path, are our decisions uninfluenced by those that linger.

It’s not that they make choices for us (note: your definition of “they” may vary. ex: ancestors and spirits of the dead, angels, spirit, guides, deity, etc), but they do try to help us and guide us; if we are willing to open up to listening to them.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder that our journey on life’s path is not something we do alone, nor are we rudderless in the sea of life. Yes, we make the decisions on where we go and what we do, but guidance is available if you’re willing to open up and listen.

The Chef Oracle ReadingWhat lessons from my past are ready to be integrated into the present?

Salt atop Mushroom – It’s through observation that you are best able to protect yourself. Before acting in the same old patterns as the past, stand back and watch first. When you react without this pause, you leave yourself wide open to negative influences.

How can I  honor past lessons without clinging to old narratives?

Thyme – Have the courage to break free of old patterns instead of repeating them. The unknown can be scary, but you need to remember that what you’ve known before isn’t all wine and roses either. There is value and benefit in thinking outside the box and stepping outside your comfort zone.

What positive experiences have had the biggest impact on me?

Butcher – Look at how you learn and develop your skills. Those things you have developed expertise in took a lot of work, but your learning process is unique and can be applied to life in a myriad of different ways.

What have I learned about myself over the last month?

Beef – Over the past month you have gotten a better grasp on where you fit in other people’s lives, and what roles you play not just in their lives but also your own. This boils down to a greater sense of self-acceptance of all that you are.

Carnival of Time Tarot's Knight of Cups and Chakra MandalasDaily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Cups (Bottles), which is traditionally a representation of an active beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, intuition, and creativity. This often portrays itself in a theme of going after what brings someone joy or following your imagination and creativity into new adventures.

Whose dreams are you chasing?

As we grow up, those that raise us and influence our development, instilling within us values and dreams, mores and ideals. We adopt these as our own until as adults we are given the autonomy to choose our own beliefs, values, and direction in life.

How much of what came before remains, though? Are we striving in life to fulfill our own dreams; or are we focusing on the dreams others have told us we should be focused on? Have we broken free of the mold to discover and explore our true and authentic selves? Or are we still trying to fit ourselves into that mold created by others?

The message in today’s cards is an encouragement to look within, and work on getting to know the true and authentic you. Then, when you begin to tap into that authenticity, examine if the goals you’ve set out for yourself really align with who you are… or are you carrying dreams from someone else who didn’t allow themselves to freedom to follow those dreams when they had the chance and now have placed them upon you to fulfill?

It’s your life. So shouldn’t you be fulfilling your own dreams?

Prompt for July 27 : Do Spread 4

Oracle Reading with the Weird Beehaviour Trading Cards

Flowers – What is flourishing in my life right now

FreeBee  – You’re getting lots of in-person time with those in your inner circle. Sometimes this feels like a good thing, other times it feels like it sucks, and still there are other times when you wish you could just walk away and tell everybody to fuck off. Remember that together time needs to be valued, though, because it won’t last.

Sun – Where you’re shining your brightest this summer

SnobBEE – Where you are really shiny brightest this summer is in your discernment; especially in learning how to enact that discernment around others. Some might call it just being a dick, and others will call it having good boundaries. You know it’s the latter, so don’t let the naysayers hold influence over you.

Stars – What needs released to shine even brighter

Danny DeBEEto – Discrimination and restraint are not a bad words. Okay,  they can be in certain contexts, but we all need to be discriminate in what, for example, comes out of our mouths. Let go of the idea that every little thing that enters your head needs shared with others. Sometimes just shutting up and stepping away is a better option. Let your ability to do this flourish.

Bees – Where you focus your energy to get things done

ChubBEE  – Excess is not your enemy if you pick and choose where those tendencies are directed. Like most things in life, it can be either healthier or unhealthy, depending on how you apply it to your life. When drawn into moments of excess (as you almost inevitably are), make sure that you are channeling that energy into positive and healthy directions.

Bonfires – Embers to stir up for a brighter future

BEEthoven – Your creative spark is looking for an outlet. Pick something that moves you and give it a go, even those things that are long-standing in your life will do, as long as they help in fanning the flames of your creativity.
