Wisdom of Ancient Egypt Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Chepre card combined with the affirmation “Let’s just deal with today. You can deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.”

Preparing for the future is more than plotting and planning and prep work. It’s also about getting the rest that you need so that you can put your all into what’s coming.

Today’s cards encourage taking things easy today and not pushing. You don’t have to get everything done right now. Rest and renewal of your energy and spirit are just as important as active preparation work.

@tarot_juf Een Uitnodiging voor de herfst #SeptemberTarotChallenge
Prompt for September 1st thru 5th

Deck of the Odd Tarot - The Fool, Seven of Wands, Page of Pentacles, The Hermit, Four of SwordsWhat fruits may I harvest from last month?

The Fool – That new fresh air feeling at the end of the month needs to be carried forward. Make sure that you don’t leave it behind.

Now that it is getting darker, which shadow aspects are coming up?

Seven of Wands – Your going to have to deal with your attachment to staying at home and ignite your passion for getting out in nature. With the heat no longer beating down your door, it’s time to step out into the fresh air.

What continues to feed my energy?

Page of Pentacles – Taking things slow is allowing you to get needed breaks right now. The longer processing times and no rush attitude means you are not constantly tapped out.

What old pain still haunts me?

The Hermit – You are still temped by unhealthy alone time and indulge in those activities far too often. Just because it feels good doesn’t mean it is good for you.

This is how I find balance between action and rest.

Four of Swords – Always lean into healthy rest and regenerative activities. You have a tendency to push yourself far too hard. In order to find balance, you need to focus on leaning harder in the other direction to create a counterbalance to that push.

Other elements included in this reading:
Silver Maple Key for Fostering Strength and Adaptability
Rainforest Rhyolite for Facilitating Calm Transitions
Rose Quartz for Softening Jagged Energies
Desert Rose for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

I Can Learn With Pooh Early Skills Cards and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Vessel card combined with the affirmation “Hey. You can be a weirdo. You can mess up, a lot. You’ll still be lovable anyway.”

The message within today’s cards is a reminder to not pin your self-worth on perfectionism. Humans are, by nature, not perfect and not meant to be.

Screwing up is how we learn. It’s a part of the human experience. Each time we mess up, it’s like pennies added to a tip jar. A tiny sacrifice of our pride in the moment, which over time adds up to a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Philosophical Question for September 4th : What is humanity’s greatest accomplishment?

Oracle Reading with the I Can Learn With Pooh Early Skills CardsReading Summary: Awakening (Pillow) into a species of independent thought (Pooh Reading) that values accruing knowledge (Mixing Bowl).

Take Away: We read. We write. We reason, and seek to learn, know, explore, and build upon what we learn to become not just knowledgeable but innovative.

Humanity’s high intelligence, cognition, and the capacity for reasoning are their greatest accomplishment, for it is these evolutionary factors that allow us all to then succeed at each new accomplishment that comes forth from them.

Dried Japanese Maple for Balance and Practicality
Carved Bamboo for Positive Outcomes

Herbana Witch Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is The Bark card combined with three affirmation “You’re nice to have around, even when you feel like a potato.”

There is an important divide between the internal and external. What your negative inner self-talk says to yourself is not what everyone else is thinking.  No one else is being hard on you for taking a break or relaxing… it’s just you and your own thoughts doing that.

Others like having you around even when you’re not being productive.  Don’t let your own judgements project themselves on others.  They are not judging you… you are.

@mercurytarot #SensualSeptemberTarot Challenge
Prompts for September 1st thru 3rd

The Entropy Tarot and The Liminal Forest OracleWhat is my relationship with sexuality?

Justice and Anger – You still hold onto a lot of resentment around the results of your testicular cancer journey. Instead of reveling in the joys of what you still can do, there is continued resentment concerning the effects wrought by the cancer and treatment. Once banked, this anger was recently stirred back to the surface by the need for HRT to correct imbalances brought on by the long term effects of these past treatments.

What have I struggled with in the past?

Empress atop Knight of Pentacles, Sacrifice – Being kind to yourself by going slow and letting things go. You have been conditioned to believe that you have to do it all, perfectly and quickly. Your reactions to the imperfections of the present are rooted in the conditioning that echoes from your past.

What can this challenge unlock for me?

Knight of Swords and Perspective – This challenge is offering you an opportunity explore new ways to look at and embrace your changed body. The opportunity to see a different perspective, and move forward from the old one.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection
Dried Bay Leaf for Protection From Negativity
Carnelian for Courage and Emotional Balance
Rose Quartz for Connecting with One’s Needs
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Magic Cats Tarot and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Two of Wands combined with the affirmation “It’s your weirdness that makes you wonderful…”

…so do your own thing and don’t worry so much about what others think.

The things you’re into and want to explore aren’t for anyone else but you. They’re your interests and your passions.

Make sure that in planning to enjoy these things that you are focusing on what you want… not what other people will think about it.  Your passions and interests are what they are because they make you happy, and other’s opinions shouldn’t have any bearing on that.

Question for September 2nd : What do you need to focus on for self-care for this new moon?

Every Little Thing You Do Is Magic Tarot - Four of Cups, The High Priestess, Three of PentaclesReading Summary: Regular meditation (Four of Cups with The High Priestess) facilitates a better working relationship with others (Three of Pentacles).

Take Away: You are both more tolerable and more tolerant of others when you are doing your meditation practice on a regular basis. It doesn’t just assist you in being better in tune with your intuition, but in being but in better tune with others as well.

It can be difficult to fit this activity into your day. Not because of the time it takes, which is usually only around ten or fifteen minutes. It’s the fact that it’s good for you that’s the problem.  Remember, though. It’s not just good for you… it’s good for others that you do it too.

Local Honey Picture Box Oracle and Soul Creatures OracleToday’s draw is the Triggers As Arrows card combined with the affirmation “I possess an inner radiance that illuminates the darkest corners of my soul.”

“Injuries need care, not contempt.” – Local Honey Picture Box Guidebook

Our triggers point to trauma that is ripe for healing. Today’s cards encourage us not to use triggers as weapons against the self to demean and discourage, but rather as a way to discover what past traumas need some extra attention and love directed their way.

It is only when we are willing to acknowledge and work on our trauma and the lingering wounds of our past that we are then in a place where we can heal them and move past them.

Prompt for September 1st : Do Spread 1

Autumn Tarot Reading with the Heartwood Tarot

Wolf – How can I bolster my strength and bravery for hurdles yet to come?

Six of Wands atop the Star –  Remember that not everything has to be a battle. Sometimes it’s okay to just take things on faith and let the chips fall as they may. Aggression is not always the answer. Try leaning into hope and positivity instead.

Owl – How can I learn to better trust my perception of the world and other people?

The Fool – Allow yourself to take a chance every once in a while and trust the universe to keep you safe. This isn’t about diving into risk taking behavior, mind you, but that having your guard up and being cautious all the time blocks you from developing a greater trust of others and the world around you.

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

Judgement – Dignity and integrity go hand-in-hand in developing into the kind of person you want to eventually become. It’s about personal growth, self development, and being a better person than you are today when tomorrow arrives.

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

Six of Pentacles – Being a leader requires influencing people, and people respond better to generosity and grace in others than they do to the lack of these qualities.

Salmon – In what direction have I been moving by instinct without realizing it?

Page of Swords – You are paying closer attention to the words and advice of others than you realize. This gathered knowledge will stick with you when you need it. Music is the key to unlocking these memories later on.

Wild Goose – How have my past relationships and friendships taught me to be a better person?

Nine of Wands – Your past relationships have helped you in better understanding what is important and what isn’t in your current relationships and friendships, shining a light on those willing to stand with you and stick around… and also revealing to you those who aren’t.

Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection

Peculiar Pathways Tarot's King of Cups and and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the King of Cups combined with the affirmation “You are both strong and smart enough to handle everything you’ve got going on today.”

The cards for today are a reminder that you have grown and develop more skills and tools to help you emotionally than you think that you have. You may often feel like a novice, and maybe compared to others you still are, but you are leaps and bounds beyond where you started.

You simply need to remember to use these new skills and abilities that you have developed, rather than falling back on old unhealthy habits of the past.

Bring Out the Lion Tarot Reading with the Peculiar Pathways Tarot and Flow Ogham Oracle

What area of my life is calling for a bold and rebellious approach?

Six of Coins and Muin – Be vocal about what you need, and be firm in expressing what you are willing to offer. This card is as much about give and take as it is about boundaries. Make both your needs and boundaries clear, sharing with others what you are able to give as well as what you need from them in turn.

How can I answer or honor that call?

Six of Cups and Coll – Pay attention to the tools others are using to bend your boundaries out of shape. Your past is often being used against you, and it’s only through watching closely and awareness that you’ll be able to see when and where that is happening. Awareness of this cycle can help you in breaking it.

What aspect of my comfort zone is holding me back?

The Fool Rx and The Circle – It is not within your comfort zone to act foolish, be silly, or pursue happiness. This reluctance is holding you back from the things that you need most right now. (Such as getting out in nature to frolic in liminal spaces.)

How can I step out of my comfort zone to explore new paths?

Queen of Swords and Úr – Lean into the transitions taking place with you right now. The shift of energy is positive and needed. Don’t just take time to savor it and enjoy it, but look beyond that to the practical as well, and use these changes to your advantage.

I had some extra cuddle time with Miss Luna today. Yesterday was such a stressful day that I felt I really needed the extra rest, and allowed myself to have it.
