October 7

Ace of Pentacles – Approach those things you need to do today with an attitude of abundance and optimism. You have a lot of work to get done today, but if you look at it with a fresh and positive outlook instead of with dread or reluctance, everything will go much smoother in the long run and you’ll have a better day over all as a result. Remember… you enjoy your work. So -let yourself- enjoy it.

Knight of Pumpkins (Pentacles) – The knight of pentacles has gathered what he needs to begin his journey toward his goals, and you are doing the same.  Remember as you work on your craft today that you don’t close yourself off to listening to those around you. The elders that are visiting today have stories to tell, both of the living and the dead, and listening to those stories can provide strength for the future through the knowledge they impart.

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

Six of Wands – Don’t let your need to please others, whether they be friends and family or customers and clients, push you into doing too much today.  You have a headache and are already feeling super stressed, so just do what you can and let the rest go for another time.

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

Six of Cups – Choose to not listen to the negative narrative in your head. Choose to not be pessimistic. Choose to not be negative. Choose to not listen to that negative voice in your head that says “no you can’t”.

“I’m the cauldron of my own happiness, brewing up visions of success.” For you, positivity and optimism is a conscious choice, and your success relies on making the choice to lean into that positivity.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and took place while soaking in the bathtub. The meditation was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The Shadow Self (aka. The Devil) – Self destruction is a temptation of yours that comes with a great number of bad habits and unhealthy urges and nasty negative inner narratives. Sometimes, you don’t even realize that you’re indulging in them until something turns around and shines a spotlight on them.

One of those self destructive habits is to put yourself down, often without even realizing you’re doing it. It’s not difficult, with the scars and damage you wear, and yet when something comes along like the affirmation “I am Boo-tiful” it brings home a reminder that you have let this quiet voice in your head get out of control.

Make sure you don’t ignore what’s going on. Now that it’s been brought into the spotlight? Take time to counteract these destructive moments with positive ones. Feed that pain filled inner soul something good with a bit of self appreciation today.

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

Wheel of Fortune – Set aside fear and pride, and focus on being kind… even to those that you feel might not deserve it. When you seek to approach others and life as a whole with kindness, you live consciously, aware of how you affect others and the world around you as a whole. Everything in life is easier when you offer kindness to yourself and to others. The good times are even better, the bad times are a little less heavy.

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

Nine of Swords – Positivity can outweigh the negative voices in your head if you work at it.  Progress doesn’t always happen in leaps and bounds, and expecting yourself to keep up a galloping pace all the time is setting yourself up for failure.  Give yourself a break instead, stop pushing so hard and using the adrenaline from anxiety to force yourself to push even harder.  Instead?  Slow down and look around.  Taking things at a stroll now and then is still progress and nothing to worry over.

Seven of Pentacles – The road might be hard at times, and you might feel like giving up, but those are the times you need to keep going. Slow down. Take your time. But keep going. Persistence counts for a lot in life, especially when things start getting difficult.

Three of Cups – There’s going to be lots and lots of together time and people today. Try your best to enjoy it and stay in the moment instead of worrying about tomorrow or what comes next. Group activities are not your happy place. Remember that you like these people and work on staying positive.

Justice – Cause and effect is a real thing.  You get what you give. If you foster within your life negative thinking and push down your throat punishment after punishment, then it’s not really surprising when your life feels like shit and you start to slide into depression.  “There is no need to be so hard on yourself…” as when you are hard on yourself, life becomes harder as a result.  Stop.  Turn it around by working to instill positivity and optimism into your life instead.  Be KIND to yourself, and in return life will turn towards a more positive and optimistic theme.  You’ve seen it before… it will happen again if you work at it.

The Tower – When things fall apart, you don’t have to know the answers and have the fix right away.  It’s okay to be lost in the chaos now and then, or to have to take things slow and as they come instead of playing Mr Fix-it right from the get-go.

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

Queen of Pentacles – You don’t need to be hard or harsh or cold to be strong. You can be supportive and nurturing… and strong. You can be warm and earthy… and strong. There is no need to be hard or harsh or cold. Not with others, and not with yourself either, for it is when you are kind to yourself you have more to give in being kind to others as well.

Four of Wands – Although you need to work, you are still home for the day.  Take time to wallow in the comfort of your environment, and time to open your mouth and cry out with what needs to be released in a place where you feel safe and don’t have to deal with others watching you, worrying about you, or judging you.  Home is the place to let things rip, as it’s your safe place.

Eight of Cups – Un-clench your teeth.  Take a breath and let things move at their own pace for once.  There’s no need to push, and clenching your fists to plow forward when you don’t need to is causing you harm.  It’s time to turn things around before you fall so deeply in the pit you end up stuck in there.  Release what isn’t working and let it drift away.

Ten of Wands – “You are not a burden. We are lucky to have you.” Just don’t over-burden yourself trying to prove that you’re not a burden to others. You have nothing to prove.  Stop trying to do so much all on your own when you have others willing to help you carry your burdens.

September 22

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

The Lovers –   “You’re doing fine; don’t give up.” Just make sure to make good choices at every opportunity that rolls around. Sometimes you get a second chance, but don’t depend on it.  Just make the choice that is best for you the first time around and you won’t have to wait for things to roll around again for a do-over.

End of Day Note:  In retrospect, part of this card’s message is about being grateful for the opportunity for do-overs when they present themselves and not taking them for granted or ignoring them. I’ve been struggling emotionally the last few days, and been really weepy and out of sorts.  I did not listen to this advice, as I tried to avoid and hide from my struggles instead of dealing with them today.  At the end of the day, though, I was given the opportunity of a do-over of sorts and was able to sort things out in the end.

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

Queen of Cups – Take comfort in the fact that you are resourceful and a survivor.  Allow this knowledge to give you confidence in times of uncertainty, and bolster you when you are feeling vulnerable. You may feel like there are times when you want to close yourself off and retreat from the world, but during those times is when a bit of extra support can help you.  Stay engaged, even if only in small ways, so that others can help keep you afloat.
