Gideon actually said this to me today, unprompted. The whole “You’ve been doing a great job considering what you’ve been up against” thing, although not in those exact words. It made me cry, because there’s just so much going on and I feel like I’m failing him by not being able to be around as much as either of us want me (or need me) to be.

The Hierophant – The Hierophant is about seeking out the knowledge of those that know more than you do. It’s not about innovation, though, but about tried and true knowledge that has been tested through time. It’s about learning from the well trod path of others, and respecting the value of tradition. Today’s card is a reminder that sometimes? The old ways are the best ways, no matter what new methods or techniques may pop up looking all shiny and new. New is not always better.

Six of Cups – Don’t worry so much about the choices you make, just keep going. When you stall out, things pile up behind you.  Sometimes it’s better to just go with your heart and be decisive, than it is to deal with the overwhelm of trying to do the “right thing” for everyone. It’s okay to make choices for you now and then, instead of taking everyone else into account.  You’ve sort of lost that perspective of late, and it’s time to reconnect with that concept.

Nine of Wands – Don’t let a bunch of extraneous distractions and pointless bullshit pull you away from what’s important today. Your best bet is to focus on one thing at a time, because on days like today multitasking just doesn’t work and ends up slowing you down instead of speeding things up. Just block out the extraneous shit trying to drag your attention in a million different directions and focus on one priority at a time. The rest will either slough off or have to wait their turn.

August 19

Four of Wands – Enjoy your time staying put today. No doctor appointments, and you get to sleep in (other than meds for Ms B).  Let yourself celebrate the down time instead of worrying about where you need to go and what needs to be done.

Four of Swords – Although today is going to be a busy one, make sure that you take time out to rest and “thaw” a bit. Give Ms Luna a cuddle and don’t push yourself so hard you stress yourself out. Enjoy your alone time at home, even if it’s alone time spent working on orders.

It’s time to get back into doing meditation every day.  I’ve sort of slacked off on it for the past couple of weeks or so.

The Chariot – Grab hold of those reigns and keep things on track. You have the ability to keep things heading in the direction you want them to go if you apply that stubborn determination that you take to so naturally.

August 16

Wheel of Fortune – The message in today’s cards is a reminder that sometimes that “oh fuck” reaction when you see the cards in the morning is a message to take care and be careful so that you can make things better, instead of the fatalist attitude that there’s no hope and you’re screwed.

August 17

Strength – There is a time and a place for everything. Make sure if you want to bend Ms B to your will on something that you pick your time well.  If you just push for the sake of pushing, she’ll push back and you’ll end up butting heads like the two stubborn Taurus bulls that you are.  Use a bit of strategy and compassion, and it will get you further than just coming in like a wrecking ball.

Two of Pentacles – You are juggling a lot right now and sometimes it feels like you’re going to drop the ball. Remember that you are doing far better than you think you are, and progress is being made.  It might not feel like it sometimes, and definitely doesn’t feel like it’s progressing fast enough… but progress is still being made.  Celebrate that as a success on those juggling skills, because that’s exactly what it is.

August 13

Four of Coins – Today’s cards are a reminder that not everything can go perfectly all the time and “good enough” can be okay sometimes.  It’s too hard to be perfect all the time, and it isn’t healthy for you. Work on feeling more secure in “good enough” today.

Seven of Cups – There’s a lot of choices out there on how you do things and what you need to do. Tune into what is important today.  Tune into what is important to you today.  Even when you put your own needs and choices first?  You’ll still be loved by those that love you.

The Lovers – Again we see cards about choice and making the choices that are right for you.  Advocate for yourself and what you need. By fulfilling your own needs? You are then even more capable of helping others with theirs.

Today’s meditation was skipped in deference for more sleep.  The affirmation for today a reminder that everything is temporary and these feelings that you’ve been feeling so guilty about? They’re temporary too.  Just keep going. It’ll get better eventually.

The Sun – Make it fun. Celebrate the success.  Ms B is being released from the hospital today and you need to remember to keep things happy and lighthearted today.  Don’t let her sink into the dark, for she’ll drag you down with her without meaning to.  Instead, provide her a more positive and optimistic outlook to hold on to.

I sacrificed my meditation for a much needed nap today.

Four of Coins – Although often about stability, there are times when this card can also be about hoarding and greed. The imagery in today’s card takes it in that direction, and is a reminder that it’s okay to be greedy sometime, as long as we’re aware of that we’re doing it and why we’re acting that way. Don’t lash out just to lash out when someone oversteps. Instead, take a moment to look at why you were triggered… then be greedy anyway, but with the truth of your motivations there to support you. Right now, I am feeling greedy. This card and the support card from the Thera-Pets deck are a reminder that I’m entitled to a bit of possessive greed for those things that matter to me. It’s okay to be fierce about it… instead of guilty over it.

The Magician – It’s order processing day!  Today’s cards are a reminder that you have all the tools to do what needs done, but you need to make sure that you don’t become too hard of a task master in getting there.

August 7

No meditation today… just no time for it.

Wheel of Fortune – Lots of ups and downs today and a good dose of uncertainty. Don’t forget that with every bad there is a corresponding good to balance it out. Make sure, as well, to remember that although dealing with uncertainty is not your strong suit, you are strong, smart, and you’ve got this. You might have to take it one day at a time… one hour at a time in some cases, but you’ve got this.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was done in the waiting room at the trauma surgical center at the hospital while Ms B was in surgery.

Two of Cups – Work together and make sure you see eye to eye on what’s best for the both of you. It’s okay to speak up and make it clear that you need something or state how you feel. Remember that it’s okay to lean on others for emotional support. It doesn’t make you weak to need that.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was primarily breathing exercises to help with easing my anxiety levels.  I then managed to doze off and take a much needed nap.

Six of Pentacles – Being generous needs to extend beyond what you give to others, and include how you treat yourself. The Thera-Pets card for today is a reminder that you need to take care of yourself, and while Ms B is in the hospital is the ideal time to give yourself a bit of a break and just let yourself rest and recuperate a little bit.
