Inner Child Hug Tarot Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Inner-Child Hug Tarot Reading with the White Sage Tarot and Spirit of Cats Oracle

What elements of my past are resurfacing now?

Five of Cups and Listening – They never wanted to hear what you had to say or what you wanted in life. In their treatment was a systematic lack of acceptance that you have a habit of continuing to inflict upon yourself.

What can I do right now to soothe my Inner-child?

Knight of Swords and Gift Giving – Be impulsive now and then in letting your inner child have the things that spark it’s interest. It’s okay to buy yourself a stuffed animal or cute toy/trinket now and then.

Who/what is an ally for me right now?

Page of Swords and Courage – Those that have the courage and desire to speak their minds instead of begin cowed by peer pressure and/or society.

What positive mantra/affirmation is good for me?

Six of Wands Rx and Endings – Be yourself, and fuck’em if they don’t like it.

What further healing must I do?

Wheel of Fortune and Storytelling – Work on the mental catastrophizing and pessimistic expectations that habitually stir up with each unexpected shift and change in life.

What closure can I seek?

Judgement Rx and Manifesting – Remember that you manifest into reality through your thoughts. Thus, when you are a judgmental ass, it pollutes the positive results you are working towards.

Tomorrow is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us.

What shallow shit needs to stop?

What relationships do I need to tend to?

Princess of Wands – The people in your life that are there to learn and explore with you instead of just from you.

How can I express my sensual side?

Seven of Swords – Steal away what time you can spare… and then just a little bit more.

The “Glow Up” Tarot Spread

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

So, I made this Glow Up Tarot Spread for someone who was looking for a specific thread and couldn’t find what she needed, and I figured that I’d share it here in case anyone else would like to give it a try as well.

I had to do a good bit of reading and research for this particular spread, because when I started out, I had no idea what “Glow Up” actually meant.

Glow Up is a term used to indicate a positive personal transformation, typically one involving significant changes in appearance and style and often also growth in confidence and maturity. It is a transformation for the better that involves aspects of improving the mental, physical, and emotional aspects of oneself. They can be natural or planned, quick or long-term work.

In other words? It appears to essentially be a newer term for “self-improvement“.

Burn It All Down Tarot Reading

Burn it All Down Tarot Reading with the Bix Tarot

What would be helpful to burn down in my life?

Ace of Cups and Six of Swords – Your tendency to try and run away from your emotions. Especially the new ones that you don’t understand. It would be helpful to bring that tendency into check instead of letting it dictate your behavior out of habit or fear.

How can that destruction move me forward?

Eight of Wands Rx and Two of Wands – Allowing yourself to stay in the moment of those new emotions instead of running from them can create a less chaotic push and shove in your life over all, resulting in more steady footing for the journey yet to come.

In what area will I then need to rebuild?

Six of Coins and Queen of Wands – Fostering a new passion for generosity towards yourself and others can allow you the room you need to grow and understand without the pressure to always be on top of everything.

Spring Awakening Lenormand Reading

Spring Awakening Lenormand Reading with the Sparkly Lenormand

What part of your life is ready for a fresh start?

Ring and Birds – Seek out those things in your life that feel unstable. A “Fresh Start” does not mean discarding, but rather breathing fresh air into something gone old and tired.  Projects gone stagnant.  Look for those things that are feeling flighty, chaotic, without an anchor.  This spring is a time to bring some stability to those areas.

What needs to be nurtured to bring that a new beginning to fruition?

Key and Coffin – Connect with your grief over the ideas and projects that haven’t worked out, and give yourself permission to grieve them and then let them go. It’s okay to write them off as a loss, just make sure you deal with how you feel about it as you do so.

What can come from tending to this potential?

Lily and Scythe – Results come from sticking to the straight and narrow on this.  You can have that fresh start, and find a great deal of enjoyment and pleasure in it, but only if you put in the work to make it what you want it to be.  That means allowing yourself to feel your feelings, and dealing with letting go so that the way is clear for that fresh start to develop and begin.
