Once Upon a Time Prompt for February 13 : Unknown
Today’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles atop the Four of Pentacles.
The message here is a reminder that if you want to be a greedy fuck (look at that pinched expression on the woman in the Four of Pentacles), you have to work hard to get there. Stability, especially in the face of the unknown, doesn’t come easy.
It recently came to my attention that some people thrive in chaos, and have absolutely no interest in stability in their lives. This seriously blows my mind. Stability is such a driving force for me in my life, a need as great as water or food in fact, that it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea that others might reject the idea and, in fact, even thrive without it.
For me, stability is the end-all be-all, and I feel like I can never have enough. It is the thing that constantly drives me to push myself harder.
The message in today’s cards brings that work into focus, as well as the fact that maybe? Just maybe I’m grasping too tightly to the idea of more stability and working myself to the bone (and to my detriment) in the process.

Once Upon a Time Prompt for February 12 : Trickery
Today’s draw is the Four of Cups combined with the affirmation “I am a contagious fireball of laughter and joy everywhere I go.”
In my bathroom, I have a picture of a cat with a huge (human) smile spread over its face. This cat is called “Bathroom Kitty” and she sits in a frame on my bathroom counter where I can’t avoid seeing her every morning when I wake up. Bathroom Kitty makes me smile. Even when I’m feeling at my absolute worst? Bathroom Kitty makes me smirk… or snort… or react in some way. She lightens the mood.
Even today, when you’re feeling sick as a dog throughout your entire digestive system from entry to exit. You have the opportunity to spread kindness and lift other’s spirits instead of dragging them down.
The cards for today are a reminder not to take feeling sick out on other people. Instead, just rest and take it easy. The trickery here is in the fact that you’re not actually getting sick, regardless of that you feel like you are. You’re paying for misbehavior from the night before, even if you don’t feel like you deserve it. (Tuna fish sandwiches, potato chips, and peanut M&Ms before bad is a very, very bad idea.)

Once Upon a Time Prompt for February 15 : Bravery
Today’s draw is the Page of Cups atop The Emperor card.
You abound with creative spirit and the spark of inspiration. It’s a significant part of your inner fire and what makes life worth living for you. In the cards pulled today, there is a reminder here to not allow your sense of responsibility bog down your creativity and imagination. There’s room in your life for both.
Often, responsibilities have a tendency to take priority, and when you pile on too many responsibilities in your life, it can be hard to find time to “cut loose” and create new things or really sink into the creative spark and enjoy your imagination. These are integral qualities within you, though, and need time and space to thrive in order for you to be healthy and happy. Make sure you’re allowing time for them to flourish.
