These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.
The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?
Earth – The Devil – Take care to keep a close eye on your temptations and addictions this week. They will be abundant and have a high risk of influencing your finances in negative ways if you let them. Loosen the reigns at your own peril.
Air – The High Priestess – Prioritize intuition over logic in the week ahead. Don’t allow your reasoning to usurp intuition’s judgement. The first call is the right one.
Water – Two of Pentacles – Do what is needed to keep a good balance on your emotions this week. That means not just making sure that you’re taking your medication when you need to, but talking to Gideon as things arise, doing your meditation, and otherwise treating yourself kindly… just not so kindly that everything else falls out of place.
Fire – The Sun – Continue working towards that “fun in the sun” attitude while you still have the opportunity to do so. Enjoy your time outside and take advantage of good weather when the opportunity presents itself.
Waning – Mice and Fish – Make sure you are identifying bullshit as the bullshit it is instead of trying to put a positive spin on it. Sometimes it’s important to see things for the bald faced corrosive mess that they really are so that they can be dealt with instead of pandered to.
Waxing – Snake and Ship – The trip you have coming up next month is going to come with a viper in your midst. Don’t ignore the possibility that this could turn ugly if you aren’t on your toes through the preparation process. This doesn’t mean cancel the trip, but it does mean to make sure that you are aware of the possibilities and prepared for what might come.
Take Away – The struggle is real this week between you and your addictive tendencies. That dopamine fix is calling your name. Make sure you are paying attention to where it hits and doing what you need to do to keep yourself uplifted so that you can better resist its call.
Also make sure that as preparations are put in place for next month’s trip that you are getting what -you- want out of the experience. Don’t let them de-prioritize what you deem important just because they don’t see any value in it.
