There’s never a limit on comfort!”

What can I do to help myself feel more cozy and comfortable spiritually?

King of Spades and Nine of Hearts – Communicate with more authority with your guides and ancestors in order to develop a greater sense of satiation and comfort in your spiritual practice. You do not always have to follow blindly, as this relationship is one of give and take.

What can I do to help myself feel more cozy and comfortable emotionally?

Queen of Spades and Six of Diamonds – You will feel emotionally more comfortable and secure if you lean into generosity with yourself and others. Holding onto things too tightly only breeds vulnerability and fear of loss.

Jack of Diamonds and Three of Hearts – Work on accepting that learning to take things at a slower pace takes time. It’s not an immediate transformation, but can be assisted through leaning into time with those you love.

Life’s Excesses Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “I know it’s been a hot minute due to be “flooded” by work, so let’s talk to our divination method of choice about what we have too much of in our lives, and what we can do to get rid of the excess and keep only what we need!”

Black Requiem Counterspell Playing CardsWhat do I have too much of in my life?

You provide too much stability (Queen of Diamonds) for your loved ones(Two of Hearts). This comes naturally to you, and is a part of who you are.  Providing those you care about with a feeling of stability is how you show your love.  At the same time, you can often go too far in this, neglecting yourself as a result.

How can I best let go of the excess and keep only what I need?

You need to allow them to build up their own strength (Queen of Hearts) with a bit of your guidance to foster their learning (Jack of Spades) rather than doing it all for them. There is something to be said for personal experience.  When you do things for others instead of letting them experience things for themselves, you rob them of the experience that can help them become more well rounded individuals.

Seasonal Changes Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “As the seasons are starting to change, what are some changes we can start making in our lives?”

Notorious Gambling Frog Playing CardsSix of Clubs and Three of Diamonds – It’s time to start leaning into collaborating with other people, and allowing them to have a say in how things go and what they look like moving forward. The busy season is coming, and it is through their collaboration and input that you will find positive progress.

Ace of Diamonds and Seven of Hearts – Pick and choose your battles. You can only take advantage of so many opportunities at once, so you need to make sure that you’re taking a close look at what is on offer and making the choices that you can handle instead of trying to take on everything.

Five of Diamonds and Nine of Clubs – Begin doing those things needed to protect against the scarcity issues that you struggle with. Whether they’re reality or just in your head, it really doesn’t matter, as the solution is the same either way. You need to take steps to protect yourself and those around you, so that what is imagined cannot creep into reality and become a real problem.

Tree Trimming Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 2 Comments

River and Stone Playing CardsThe prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “As I sit here listening to the trees around my apartment getting trimmed, it’s got me thinking, where could use some trimming in my life? So for this week’s prompt, let’s look at the things in our lives that could use some trimming, whether it’s what that should be, or if you already know, how you should go about doing so?”

What in my life could use a bit of trimming right now?

Two of Hearts – Social obligations. It’s too damn hard to be fucking around with all those social obligations. Beg off on the things you can so that you have more time to relax and catch what cool breezes you can.

How can I begin this trimming in my life?

Queen of Clubs – Let them know that you support their enthusiasm and that she would love to join in another time in the future. Assure them that your interest is there, but that is just not the right time. In this way you keep their enthusiasm alive, but can get the space you need for right now.

How will my life look after the trimming has taken place?

Six of Spades – Quiet, peaceful, and less chaotic. Like all things, it won’t last for long, so lean into the change for the time it’s here and enjoy it to the fullest.

What is the possible outcome if I avoid this task?

Go through a period of feeling as if you are not getting what you need (Five of Diamonds), followed by settling into a group dynamic (Three of Diamonds) that will orient you towards your goals in the future (Ten of Diamonds).

The question here remains, if you’re going to be heading towards these goals regardless, then why aren’t you taking the space you need when you need it. Don’t let this positive possible outcome keep you from self-care.

Just Watch… Don’t Touch

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.

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.
