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.

Holding Grudges

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.

Prompt for September 6th thru 8th

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.

Foraged Feather for Fostering Letting Go
Mookaite for Help with Weighing One’s Options

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.

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.

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.

Silver Maple Key for Fostering Strength and Adaptability

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.
