MUSE Cat Tarot and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Page of Swords combined with the affirmation “There are better times ahead.”

Remember that all the little things you research and learn in the present come together into something greater later on.  You didn’t become as well rounded as you are overnight, and that growth continues from one day to the next.

You might feel sometimes like a novice, but never forget that gathering knowledge and experience is never wasted.  It becomes a part of who you are, and in doing so you become more than you ever were before.

Philosophical Question for September 11th : What are the 3 major strengths of humanity?

MUSE Cat Tarot - The Hierophant, The World, Page of PentaclesThe Hierophant – The ability to learn from others and the past. When we allow ourselves to understand and embrace traditions of the past, it opens us up to learning from the past and the lessons others learned along the way. This means that we don’t need to experience everything first hand in order to learn from it.

The World – Adaptability through growth. Just as we can learn from others, we learn from our own experiences. These lessons are carried forward in life, from one journey to the next, allowing for us to adapt and grow with each experience we have.

Page of Pentacles – Aspiration and determination. The ability to learn skills and hone them over time is just as important as intelligence and the ability for intellectual growth.  Humanity has the ability to learn new skills and use those skills to improve their own lives as well as the lives of others. This means that innovation and ability combine in a way that allows humanity’s success.

Side Note: While I feel that these are good answers to the question, I also feel like we are missing emotional elements in the answers that the cards provide here. I have a feeling that there is no way to really boil humanity’s greatest strengths down to just three.

I took my time getting things done today.  My back and ribs are really sore, and instead of pushing myself as I normally would, I did some gentle stretching and slowed down.

Humility vs Abuse

Roses, Dust & Ashes Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Humility card combined with the affirmation “You are not a burden. Not today, not ever.”

There is a big difference between humility and self abuse, and it is a line that you need to take more seriously and acknowledge more often.

After the stressful night that the drop created for you last night, a huge number of fears surfaced to be there to greet you come waking up this morning.

The cards for today are a reminder that everyone feels down on themselves from time to time.  It becomes abuse, though, when you then use those feelings to validate negative inner narratives concerning being not enough and undeserving.

Nova Witch Tarot's Ten of Wands and High Priestess; Roses, Dust & Ashes OracleWhat is my relationship with my body?

Ten of Wands and Insight – You tend to push your body as hard as you can until your body speaks up and tells you that it can’t handle anymore.

How can I love my body more?

The High Priestess and Eternity – Listen closer instead of putting off easing up until you’re at the breaking point. Remember that your body is not going to be as good as it is now forever.

As you age, the pain will worsen and your mobility will continue to decrease… even more so than most. The doctors warned you about this two decades ago when they pieced you back together. Ignoring the problem and continuing to push to your breaking point again and again is not going to make it go away, and will hurry you into that advanced pain and decreased mobility even faster than if you take care of yourself.

Other elements included in this reading:
Silver Maple Key for Fostering Strength and Adaptability
Mookaite for Help with Weighing One’s Options
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Tarot de Marseille Packard and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Two of Coins combined with the affirmation “It’s okay to be a work in progress; you don’t have to have everything figured out right now.”

When you work on creating balance in your life, it means that you don’t have as much time to spend on one specific thing. That means that working on each of these individual different things in your life takes more time.

The cards for today are a reminder that this doesn’t mean that you’re any less capable, it just means that it’s taking time to get where you want to go in these different areas because you are putting so much more on your plate that needs to be done. The more you need to juggle, the more time it takes to get any one thing done; and that’s okay, because you’re still making progress a little at a time.

Art Deco Tarot and The Granny Squares Card DeckThis gives me calmness today.

Six of Pentacles atop Ten of Swords; 112-Stitch Classic – Remember not to allow painful endings to drag you into old habits of being less generous with yourself. The number of steps it took to get you where you are were many, and with each one you made the best decision you could. This means that the outcome is not so much about something you can control in the present, but rather something you need to experience for growth.

Just like the leaves on the tree change color, which transformation may I initiate?

King of Cups RX and Season of Daisies – Things are beginning to change as the holiday season draws closer, summer fading away along with the extra time that you’ve had to spend with Gideon over the last couple months.

Sometimes in the past, this transition has crashed down upon you both like a wrecking ball. You have an opportunity this year for it to move at a more gradual pace, and help ease you both into the barren seven weeks of the holiday rush when you are unable to connect as often.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Red Alder Acorns for Determination and Confidence
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others
Aventurine Goddess for Harmony and Balance of the Heart
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Soul Creatures Oracle and Talisman OracleToday’s draw is the Success card combined with the affirmation “I am wielding the potent gaze of authority. My presence commands respect and instills awe in those who dare to meet my eyes.”

When you know what you want and have a goal in place, you are ferocious and unstoppable.  Others that witness you in this state often step out of your way without question, in awe of the shear power of your will as you move toward your goals.

You have the ability to access this inner power whenever you need it, so don’t let the seedlings of success falter because of a lack of confidence.  Instead, if it’s something you really want to succeed? Feed that banked inner fire, tap into that inner fire’s heat and flames, and make things go in the direction you want them to go.

Question: How can I use my creativity in my sensual journey?

Desney Tarot Kickstarter Edition and Gratitude OracleReading Summary: The background in both The Lovers and The Magician cards hold a color connection with the background and the anchor card. This draws these two cards into the background and makes them the foundational energy of empowerment and connection for this reading.

The Lovers is a pairing of two, just like the mushrooms and the mice in the anchor card. Also, the spread arms of the above connect with the mouse on the ground that is reaching up. This speaks to respecting the power of connection between two… as in you and another. You are never alone. The connection between you and your partner goes far beyond the mundane and into the sacred.

In The Magician, his arm is raised, just as the arm in the mouse on the mushroom is raised. Both hold wands with confidence. This speaks of a dominance and respect for your power and inner strength. This strength allows you to get what you want out of your relationship with your partner. You are the one with the power even when you are feeling small.

In The High Priestess, the pomegranate in the background is reflected in the cherry that is balanced on the small mushroom’s head. This speaks of nourishment and fertility within the “small space” in which you reside in most often.

Take Away: These cards suggest that whether you are in a dominant space or a submissive one, you are always the one with the power in the relationship. This provides you nourishment and the empowerment to explore your creativity in private spaces between you and your partner.

W.I.T.C.H. Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Goddess of Grace card combined with the affirmation “You’re not a disappointment. You’re not a burden. Your mind is just bamboozling you today. You’re all good, I promise.”

You may not tend to hold grudges against others for very long, but that inner narrative in your mind that leans into negativity absolutely loves to keep grudges against you.

Today’s cards are a reminder that when you make mistakes, recriminations and blame run rampant in the mind when what is really needed is to accept that you have learned a lesson and be upon yourself forgiveness. Don’t allow that inner voice to step in and make you feel like shit. Instead, see the mistakes made as positives… as the learning experiences they are meant to be. Let go of the emotional backlash involved.

Maya Land Tarot and Inner Ecology OracleWhat warm wisdom may I embrace during these still wonderful days?

Fool and Soil – Remember that fun is important. Excitement is important. Enthusiasm is absolutely important. They are the fundamental foundations on which we connect with our inner child and make ourselves whole. Make sure that you are doing things that you’re excited and enthusiastic about, and having fun whenever possible.

What is my focus, just like a spider in a web?

Nine of Swords and Symbiosis – You spend a great deal of time worrying about a plethora of different things. Don’t push all of these worries away, for some of them are valid. Sometimes when you are worrying, you are also planning for that “just in case” scenario. The key is balance, so that you do not turn your worry into anxiety, but keep it in a place of empowerment.

Just as I have no influence on the change of season, what may I worry less about?

The Tower and Seeds – Don’t worry so much about the changes that come, or about the seeds planted to grow through to the other side of the chaos. A lot of those things you worry about are more than capable of taking care of itself and sorting itself out without your contribution or stress. They just need time to germinate, so leave it alone.

Souls Seeking Seed Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Iguana and Indigo card combined with the affirmation “Your existence has never, and will never be burdensome.”

You’ve spent a lot of time in your life telling yourself that you are not enough and not good enough; that you never stack up, and will never managed to do enough to satisfy that inner whisper inside of you.

Today’s cards are an encouragement to reach beyond this mentality, and seek out a new and better path that is healthier for you moving forward.

It’s time to pivot, and instead of focusing on performance, focus on pleasure and enjoyment.

Tarot Reading with the Marseille Sophistiqué and Zoologica: The Steampunk OracleWhat brings me pleasure?

Page of Swords atop Justice; Clawed Lobster – Give and take between yourself and your partner brings you a great deal of pleasure. More than physical pleasure, you take pleasure in the intellectual back-and-forth, as well as the support they provide you. It’s simply not all about sex, no matter how much you tried to make that be all that you needed when you were younger.

What causes me pain?

Nine of Wands atop Five of Coins – Fear of loss and feelings of scarcity are a cocktail that causes you pain. Your negative inner thoughts have a tendency to wander off in thought experiments on these themes in all aspects of your life, including in your relationship. Wandering down these mental pathways creates pain and anxiety in your relationship. Instead, allow yourself to enjoy what you have without fostering fear of the unknown in your heart and mind.

What makes me feel sexy?

Seven of Swords and Cicada – There are times when you may try and run from compliments and the abject openness of your partner’s admiration, but deep down inside it makes you feel good to hear him shout it loud and clear just who you belong to, how much he admires you, and how great his desire is for you. It may feel awkward, but it’s also a siren’s call for you because you know it is sincere.

How can I amplify my confidence?

Ten of Swords and Nautilus – Let go of the past. Retain your past negative experiences through knowledge instead of through the emotional scars.
