Etruscan Tarot

Take Your Time

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped (I think).  I’m not entirely sure if I did it today or not, but I’m going to take it for granted that I probably skipped it since that’s the pattern.

Etruscan Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Judgement card, which is traditionally a representation of looking back on one’s life to reflect on what one has done with it.  This time of reflection is about the span of one’s life instead of any one particular incident.

Here in the imagery of this particular card, we see a man who is not reflecting on his past willingly, but is being forced to confront his past, the history he has created for himself, and what this has perpetuated over time.

The combination of this card with the “Smile, Breathe, and Go Slowly” quote on the affirmation card for today is a reminder that life is not a race, and when you rush you miss out on opportunities you would otherwise see coming. Opportunities to have a positive impact on the world, to enjoy life more, and to look back at the end of your life with  more satisfaction instead of regrets.

Questions for August 19th and 20th

BuzzFeed Oracle and Richie Rich TarotHow is my current space serving me in terms of where I want to be?

My current space is providing a more aggressive energy (Shark) for me to work with, to the point of setting aside grace for results (Giraffe).

(The Eight of Wands is an accelerant in this reading, feeding into that aggressive energy.)

This is about the upcoming holiday rush that is just around the corner and how what I do now influences how I will approach that season.

Essentially, I’m not getting prep work done and it’s going to cause a need for speed and aggression in order to keep up.

What can I do, shift, or alter to be in the best space for my goals?

Begin shifting your focus (Eclipse) off of the stuff that makes you feel good (The Devil), and onto what will be needed to make the holiday season go more smoothly (Lake).

This isn’t meant to be a fast switch, but it’s time to start the process of looking at what needs to be prepared. Sort of a prep for the upcoming prep period.

Questions for August 19th and 20th

Journey to the Heart Oracle and Etruscan TarotUse Care – Pure Delight and Knight of Pentacles – Take care not to count your chickens before their hatched. There are too many ruts in the road to know how things will turn out yet.

Be Carefree – Pure Voice and The Fool – Be open and carefree in expressing yourself and going after these things you wish to enjoy. Instead of looking forward, focus on enjoying the present whenever the opportunity to do so is offered.

What joy in my life needs more recognition?
Bravery and Knave of Chalices

You need to recognize how very open and courageous you are being in exploring and learning about your emotions. Walking a new path with them can be scary, but you need to look beyond the fear and acknowledge the boons this journey and growth are offering.

I have no idea what my self kindness was for today since I’m playing catch-up and I forgot to write it down.

Let Your Inner Voice Lead

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped because I ended up falling asleep.

Etruscan Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Six of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of the boon of having an abundance of choices.  The problem is, this situation can often be seen as abundance, but it can also be seen as overwhelming.

In today’s card we see the image of a woman whose boon has turned to bane in such a way. So many bowls, so many choices, and yet she appears completely overwhelmed.

The encouragement in these cards today is about seeking what feels right.  When you touch upon your inner voice and let your intuition guide you, the overwhelm falls away as those things that are truly meant to be will shine brighter.

It is in finding those things that harmonize with you, with your desires and wishes, dreams and hopes, and allowing your inner voice to help guide you to them, where you then find those things that help you glow more brightly, allow you to enjoy the world around you, and give the opportunity to truly connect and enjoy your journey.

When you feel overwhelmed by the choices before you, seek the answer within. Allow your inner voice and intuition to shine.  You won’t be sorry.

There is Always Light Oracle and The ASL TarotSeeds Sown – What seeds for my emotional growth planted in the spring have flourished and grown strong?
Wisdom atop Mother, Six of Cups

My efforts to reconnect with my inner wisdom and intuition, as well as with my spirit guides and their guidance to help in making choices when am I feeling overwhelmed.

It’s through my connection with these things that I am able to sort through the choices before me, and find the right path, and the right choices, for me.  That inner wisdom and guidance are a guiding light that shines brightly like a beacon, leading me ever forward.

The Chaff – What seeds have not flourished and I need to let go of to encourage healthy growth in other areas?
Unveil and Ace of Chalices

Exploring my emotions and helping me to acclimatize with the newness of it all so that they are no longer quite so overwhelming. I just didn’t manage to explore this very much this Summer, as I was deep in the middle of what is mentioned previously as well as trying to find and keep my equilibrium, and adjusting to taking time off and not beating myself up about it.

The Harvest – How can I best prepare now to reap the benefits of a positive and healthy harvest in the Fall?
Phoenix and Ten of Chalices

Let go to the bad stuff and focus on the abundance of good stuff that you have going on and it will lift you up. A phoenix cannot rise from the ashes without leaving the ashes behind.

Questions for August 15

Etruscan TarotWhat message does Justice have for me?

Lord of Pentacles – Be wise and will grounded, and when that pendulum of cause and effect swings back in your direction, won’t hit you in the face quite as hard as it might otherwise.

What obstacles does Justice want to warn me about?

Four of Wands – Get your home insurance in order. Now that you have the paperwork you need, it’s time to go in and make sure it gets done.  You’ve been putting it off, and the fact it’s not done is causing anxiety.  Stabilize yourself by doing what needs done to secure and protect your home.

What guidance does Justice have for me to overcome this obstacle?

Two of Pentacles – Work it into your day-to-day juggling of tasks and responsibilities. Do it on the way home from something else as a stop along the way. Put the papers in the car so that you have them handy when the opportunity arises.

Alexandros and Yurei time with Gideon while I worked on orders.  I don’t know what it is about that character, but Alex really has the “soothe and stabilize” thing down pat for me, no matter which character I’m playing off of him.
