One Word Book Title Prompt for November 8th : Greenlights

Today’s draw is the Death card combined with the affirmation “Even though they may not express it to you, people are grateful you’re in the world.”

Self sabotage is a thing that I think most of us deal with from time to time. For some, like myself, it’s chronic.  For others?  It happens now and then when feeling particularly vulnerable, undeserving, or afraid.  In either case? Sometimes we don’t even see that we’re doing it.  In fact, I would imagine that being oblivious to this tendency in the moment when it’s happening is pretty common.

Today’s cards (and prompt) ask us to take a minute and look at where you have been self sabotaging? Where has change been knocking on your door, and instead of answering the call, you have tried to step back and hide?  What are you afraid of?  Why are you avoiding?  Dig deep and really seek out that vulnerable feeling inside that is driving your resistance and see if you can ease it’s tension enough to give yourself the go-ahead to embrace the changes that need to occur.   It doesn’t have to be a trial by fire.  Promise.

Prompt for November 8th : Think of a problem that needs solving and pull cards in relation to…
Problem : The upcoming building levy and financial strain involved.

Where to Begin – Oberon / King – Don’t ignore it. You know it’s coming and you need to be responsible about it in order to lead your people through the hardship of the moment. Take care not to shoot yourself in the foot.

What Half Way Looks Like – Mab / Dream On – You are going to be feeling like you have everything under control, but make sure that it is not an illusion. Don’t bet the bank on the fact that you feel this way.

How to End Things – Sprites / Stage of Play – Allow the relief of getting it done to wash over you and lighten the weight on your shoulders. It’s okay to feel accomplished when you’ve managed to accomplish something. Paying off this levy would be one of those things.

Long Term Ramifications – The Aziza / Mind Your Own – It will bring a deeper closeness to those things and people that are yours, binding you together through hardships faced side by side. This in turn strengthens the boundaries between your inner circle and those outside of it.

Question for November 8th : What steps can I take today to help myself move forward?

Reading Summary: Take time to reflect upon (The Hanged Man) those things that help lift you up out of uncertainty (The Moon) into a place of ease, comfort , and satisfaction (Nine of Cups).

Take Away: With the holiday rush right on your doorstep, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs and making sure that they are being fulfilled.  If you allow yourself to ignore your own needs, though, you will end up having to slow down (or stop entirely) to deal with the consequences later.

Instead, make sure that you are taking time to really look into what you need, and taking measures to ensure you get those needs met.  It makes everything feel just that much better when you do.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lichen for Perseverance
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
