The Gilided Tarot's Moon card and a card from the Mindfulness Cards

Today’s draw is The Moon card, which is traditionally a representation of uncertainty, illusion, anxiety, fear, the unknown, and the subconscious.

The Moon card has then been combined with the Notice Strangers card from the Mindfulness Cards, which says, “Making an effort to pay attention to people. We don’t ordinarily notice in our daily lives can help us avoid getting caught up in our own personal dramas. Next time you come across someone you don’t know – whether it’s during a morning commute, on a trip, or even in your workplace – take a moment to really notice how they are. Resist the urge to create a story about them. Instead, just take a small moment to connect with them through eye contact, a smile, or a hello. See them as they really are: as real human beings rather than as anonymous extras passing through a movie about your life.”

We often avoid contact with strangers out of discomfort with the unknown, fear of those that we haven’t personally yet vetted, or an expectation of being judged by others no matter whether we know them or not.

When we set aside these fears and feelings of uncertainty, though, what we find is that strangers are just other people living their own lives, just as we are living ours.

What does it really matter if they judge you? What does it really matter if they’re not somebody that you would like or approve of? These passing strangers have no true influence over your life, so why do we avoid interacting with them on any level and ignore them?

The message in today’s Moon card and affirmation is a reminder that everything is not all about you. When you release this assumption, what you find is that there’s a whole world full of people out there that you can awaken with just a smile or a nod. By acknowledging others that are not a part of our circle, we create connectivity and an openness in society as a whole, adding a positive influence into the spaces where fear usually rules.

Emotion Prompt for September 11th
: What emotion is asking to be felt more fully today?

Tarot Reading with The Gilded Tarot

Reading Summary: Allow yourself to feel child-like wonder (Six of Cups) without the expectation of fairness (Justice Rx) or your personal worries and anxieties getting in the way (Nine of Swords Rx).

Take Away: Your inner compass has an inherent need for fairness. Between this need and your own personal fears and anxieties, it can be hard to let go and allow yourself time to feel carefree and lighthearted.

It’s this energy, though, that you need to try and instill into your day. Not just today, but every day.

For today, work to give yourself permission to step into a mindset of wonder, if only for a few minutes. Delve in and experience what it feels like without allowing guilt or other negative emotions to hold sway. Even if you do this briefly, that little taste will bring you back to experience it again in the future.

The Gaian Tarot's Knight of Swords and a card from the Listening to Flowers Deck

Today’s draw is the Explorer of Air (Knight of Swords), which is traditionally a representation of a projective and active “beta” energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s thoughts, intellect, education, ambitions, and communication. This often translates into themes that have to do with pursuing one’s goals related to their education, actively seeking one’s goals, action and decisiveness, and at times can indicate impulsivity without thinking things through.

The Explorer of Air has then been combined with the Cerato card from the Listening to Flowers Cards, which says, “I listened to my inner voice. I release doubt and accept certainty. I embrace my truths as pure knowing.”

One of our most powerful tools in life is curiosity.

When we experience curiosity, the unknown becomes an adventure and uncertainty is dampened by our need to explore and discover. Wonder replaces fear, giving us a new perspective in which to explore the world and those things in it.

This, in turn, then opens us up to new opportunities and experiences.

The message in today’s Explorer of Air combined with the Cerato card is a reminder that uncertainty is not our enemy. It’s an invitation to awaken the curiosity within us all, and spur us into exploration and adventure. When confronted with uncertainty, consider leaning into curiosity instead of bracing for impact or shutting down. In doing so, you may find a world of new opportunities and experiences waiting for you to discover and explore.

: What do you need to focus on for self-care for this month’s new moon?

Tarot Reading with The Gaian Tarot

Reading Summary: Creating anew narrative (Five of Air and Seven of Air) with loved ones (Three of Water) is going to take time and perseverance (Explorer of Earth).

Take Away: In the reading done for this new moon, it was pointed out that it’s time to put yourself first. It’s time to accept that you need care, and your needs matter.

After so long putting what everyone else needs and wants above your own, there’s going to be an adjustment period during this time of change. Others are going to fight back against this shift, for they are not used to be putting second.

Have patience as you move through this transition, and keep your eye on the prize. Remember that this change is for a good cause, and the disruptions it cause will settle over time as others get used to the new status quo.

The Green Tarot - Seven of Pentacles and a card from the Crone Power Oracle and Affirmation Deck

Today’s draw is the Seven of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of slow growth, sustainability, domestic harmony, hard work, and practicing patience while the fruits of your labors develop and take form.

The Seven of Pentacles has then been combined with a card from the Crone Power Oracle and Affirmation Cards, which says, “I am peaceful. I find calm within myself.”

I have a tendency to rush. Not just in pushing myself in my endeavors, but also in everyday life. Like a dragonfly zipping from task to task and place to place, never pausing for long and rarely slowing down.

I’ve found, though, in my efforts to ease off in this behavior, that life’s little joys are enjoyed far more if you pause longer and move a bit slower.

The key is in learning to practice patience. In finding patience within yourself and encouraging it to flourish. In giving yourself permission to linger instead of rush. As a result you are then able to notice more instead of disregarding everything as a distraction. And that… is a major aspect of mindfulness.

The message in today’s Seven of Pentacles and affirmation is a reminder to slow down. Practice (as in try, fail, and try again) patience, and use that extra time to notice the things you normally wouldn’t. The more you practice? The more you will become better at bringing that patience up from within yourself when you need it most.

Tarot Reading with The Green Tarot

Reset – What part of my routine needs a reset?

Four of Swords and Ace of Wands Rx

You need to stop looking for new things to get excited about, and instead take some time to assess and what you’ve already explored that is working for you, as well as ascertain what isn’t. Looking for new interests and ideas is simply a way for you to run away from those things that aren’t working for you instead of dealing with them.

Venus enters Scorpio – Where am I craving intensity, honesty, or deeper connection?

IntensityAce of Cups – You don’t like feeling as if he’s lost interest or is no longer enthusiastic about learning new things about you. You are used to his emotions keeping him invested (and obsessed). As a result, when he’s not as invested as he once was you equate it to a waning of emotion.

HonestySeven of Pentacles – You don’t want to be pandered to when it comes to those things you’ve invested your time, energy, and patience into. If something isn’t working out or needs changing you’d rather know right away than have it sprung upon you later on down the line or have to discover it for yourself.

Deeper ConnectionQueen of Pentacles – You miss the nurturing energy that you used to get with more frequent trips out into nature. Find the time to get out among the trees and lichen more often and this craving will ease.

The Good Karma Tarot - Eight of Pentacles and a card from the Create Brave Deck

Today’s draw is the Eight of Coins, which is traditionally a representation of hard work, expertise through practice, honing a skill, quality craftsmanship, handicrafts, and manifestations through skill and hard work. The card is often the embodiment of the “practice makes perfect” adage.

The Eight of Coins has then been combined with the Dreamscape card from the Create Brave Cards, which says, “When I imagine my future, I turn it into a reality.”

Today’s cards feel like a carryover from yesterday’s card of the day, which spoke of the need for more than wishful thinking in order to build the future one wants as opposed to the entitlement of expecting it to be given to us.

Today we see a card that represents working hard to hone one’s skills and abilities in a specific area combined with an affirmation that talks about turning what one imagines they want into reality.

This speaks not just of the work involved in building the reality that we want to experience, but also the fact that this process takes time. It takes time to develop one’s skills, including both successes and failures along the way. Sometimes the things that we do don’t work out, and from these things that don’t work out we learn how to do them successfully the next time.

In this way, failure is never actually failure unless you give up. Instead, failure becomes a learning experience on how to improve.

The message in today’s Eight of Coins and affirmation card is a reminder that instant gratification might seem nice, but it doesn’t really give us anything of value.It’s those desires that we worked towards and earn through trial and error, curiosity and exploration, that give us the sweetest things in life that we find most fulfilling.

Tarot Reading with The Good Karma Tarot

Reading Summary: Someone whose entire world (The World) becomes driven by their addictions (The Devil), who is never satisfied with how much they have accomplished and is always looking for more to do (Two of Swords atop Nine of Coins).

Take Away: This is interesting, as it’s a question I’ve never really considered or looked at before. In fact, it was this question and how intrigued I was by it that convinced me to do this particular challenge for September.

These cards make a good point. Before I had others depending on me, I was working myself into the ground while heavily flirting with my addictions.

Although I often find myself perceiving my responsibilities to others as a struggle or a chore, the truth of the matter is that if these responsibilities weren’t there, I would be finding other ways to not just keep myself busy but keep myself overwhelmed with too much and distracted by addictions whose urges are currently dimmed by my focus on other things.

Greenwood Tarot's Sun Card and a card from the Tao Book and Cards Pack

Today’s draw is The Sun card, which is traditionally a representation of success, optimism, positivity, fun and frivolity. In my practice, the Sun is also a symbol of masculine vitality, virility, and warmth.

The Sun card has then been combined with a card from the Tao Book and Cards Pack, with a Lao Tzu quote that says, “A thousand mile journey starts with one step.”

I don’t understand the mentality of entitlement. The idea that “I suffer, therefore I am owed”, or worse yet “I exist therefore this is my due.”

I see it all the time, and it never fails to bother me, surprise me, and disgust me. Where the hell did the idea that everything should be given to us come from? And why do so many believe it?

Life is a journey of lessons and work. In my opinion, if you want something then you go after it, work for it… earn it. You don’t just sit back and expect it to just happen, and then have the nerve to blame anything or everything else when you don’t get it.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder that we take ownership of our lives and our futures through action, not through waiting for things to be handed to us. These cards encourage us all to take the first step. Then another… and another. This is how we end up in the life we want to live; by building that life and living it, one step at a time.

Patience – Where can I practice patience with myself?

Ten of Stones Rx – Remember that hurdles on the way to one’s goals are simply a part of the journey. We are supposed to be enjoying the journey, not beating ourselves up for not reaching our goals as quickly as we think we should. Growth takes time, and is the entire point.

Perspective – What is a new perspective I’m beginning to adopt?

Wanderer of Cups – Emotions aren’t such a bad thing after all, and they can be a strength instead of seen as a vulnerability. They only feel so vulnerable because you find them uncertain and unfamiliar, not because they’re an actual weakness.

Add On Question – Why did you toss yourself all over the place earlier?

Balance – Because you were rushing things and weren’t fully grounded. By the cards ending up going every which way instead of behaving in your hands, it provided you that little bit of extra time and a touch of aggravation. This, in turn, allowed you to center and ground more deeply through the breathing exercise you used to activate your patience and the movement of your body to collect what fell on the floor.

Gravity Tattoo Tarot's Four of Pentacles and a card from the Rethink Self Care Anxiety Relief Cards

Today’s draw is the Four of Pentacles, which is traditionally about stability and gratitude (sometimes to excess, which can turn miserly) for what you have. This is a stagnant sort of appreciation that speaks of not reaching for more, but instead being focused on what you have in the now.

The Four of Pentacles has then been combined with a Grounding Exercises card from the Rethink Self Care Anxiety Relief Cards, which says, “Self-massage… relieves tension, calms your mind, and promotes a soothing sense of well-being.”

I recently did an exercise where in the process of a calming meditation, you place your hand over your heart as you speak to yourself, patting gently and giving yourself comforting words. At the end of this exercise, you then reach up and pat yourself on the shoulder, breathing in the sentiments of comforting energy.

I admit. I was skeptical.

And yet? It did in fact feel different than exercises I’ve done that didn’t include these physical actions. I was surprised by this. There was, in fact, an added level of comfort there.

The message in today’s Four of Pentacles and activity card is a reminder that, like validation, stability and comfort are nice when they come from others, but essential when provided for oneself. Don’t confuse the nice of someone else’s offerings as a necessity you can’t do without. Establish a steady foundation of self love so that true comfort, validation, and stability come from within.

Tarot Activity from The One Card a Day Journal by Maria Sofia Marmanides - Solipsist Tarot - The Moon card

What feelings came up when I pulled this card?

Disappointment combined with a rueful feeling of acceptance.

Also a hint of amusement specifically in reference to the figure in the card’s derriere appearing as if they just experienced a vigorous spanking.

What elements of the card’s meaning resonate with me and this prompt?

The Moon card is often about uncertainty, which is how this friendship eventually fell apart. The drinking turned into erratic and disrespectful behavior, which turned into something that hurt.

What in the artwork spoke to me?

The red cheeks mentioned above spoke to me of the repeated offenses and disrespect that had me “course correcting” him more than once in an effort to teach him better behavior.

The crab holding up a leaf like some sort of olive branch while simultaneously pinching the figure’s toe hard enough to draw blood reminds me of all the apologies that seemed so sincere, yet weren’t sincere enough to keep them from repeating the behavior again and again.

The figure’s back is turned, as if they are trying to look serene and pretend like noting is wrong.

My prompt response and reflections.

It’s hard not to forgive and try again. Especially when the memory of the pain starts to fade. History has shown that this friendship isn’t a friendship at all, though, but a harmful and unhealthy cycle. It doesn’t need nurturing, but rather handled at arm’s length with kid gloves and a mindset of caution and wariness.

Stag – Where in my life can greater dignity create a stronger sense of integrity?

Page of Pentacles – Patience. Patience is a tool that can be used to create stability. It expresses dignity with quiet strength while showing others you won’t compromise yourself or your values.

Eagle – Why does good and successful leadership also require a modicum of grace?

The Emperor atop The Hermit – Because in order to know others and understand their needs, you need to know thyself. The understanding of our own inner workings and motivations helps us to not just understand others but better connect with them on a deeper level.

The World – You move towards the future and the completion of your goals by instinct without realizing it.
