Fungjai Tarot - Six of Wands

Today’s draw is the Six of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of public accolades, societal expectations, people pleasing, and peer pressure.

The Six of Wands has then been combined with the Reversed Sirens card from the Nowbits Oracle, which says, “When you leave your body and go into the future in your mind… it might feel pleasant at first (depending on the future you’re visiting), but soon enough you may start to feel quite uncomfortable… almost to the point of hearing sirens. Not to worry, this is just your body saying: “come home please, I need you here with me”. And I KNOW you’re the kind of love that will come running to that call. Visit the futures that excite you! Visit the ones that make you come alive! But don’t forget to come back home. Travel out, Travel in. Repeat. This way what you’re actually doing is pulling your future INTO you, a little closer and closer each time, melding little pieces of it with your present self all the while. Reversing those sirens until they feel like CELEBRATIONS.“

When you imagine the future and daydream about your goals and ambitions, are you imagining a future where you are accomplishing and experiencing the things that you want to experience? Or are you imagining accomplishing goals and ambitions others have put upon you?

When considering these scenarios, which do you think will result in a happier and healthier you?

The message in today’s Six of Wands and Reverse Sirens card is a reminder that the things we set our sights on in the future are the things we end up moving towards in our present. Make sure when contemplating these future scenarios and your goals that you’re focusing on what will make you happy in the future, instead of just what others are expecting of you.

The @lightningwildflower June Inner Journey Challenge
Jupiter enters Leo Prompt for June 30th : How can I step into the most radiant version of myself?

Tarot Reading with the Maruco Animal Tarot

Reading Summary: Put some passion and enthusiasm (King of Wands) into getting your house (Four of Wands) in order (The Emperor).

Take Away: Your house is a mess. In it’s current state, it drags you down and creates a deep sense of dissatisfaction for you. That means that it’s time to do something about it.

To step into the most radiant version of yourself, this is the first step. Get going on putting your home to rights, and enlist others to this goal because it’s a big job and is going to take some time.

Note: In this reading the Aquarius result on the spin of the Zodiac Wheel is an indication concerning who you need to engage most in assisting with this endeavor. (That would be J.)

Other elements included in this reading:
Zodiac Wheel in Aquarius (indication of person in one’s life)
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Carnelian Agate Mushroom for Focusing On Aspirations
Moonstone for Fostering Emotional Stability
Citrine for Energy Lift (easing the weight of heavy energies)
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

#DiscordTarotholicsJun2026 Challenge
Prompt for June 30th : Grab a spread of your choice you’re curious about… and give it a go!
Spread: Figure Out the Feeling Spread by JuniperDivination
Feeling: Increased Anxiety and Restlessness

Tarot Reading with the Fungjai Tarot

What is triggering this feeling?

Three of Wands Rx – Immobility. You’ve had a number of false starts this spring and summer, but no true momentum. Although things aren’t necessarily stagnant, it feels like the water just churns and churns but never flows.

What this feeling is trying to tell me?

King of Swords Rx – You are expecting too much and being too hard on yourself. Unrealistic expectations are at the root of your restless anxiety.

One thing that might help right now

Wheel of Fortune atop Five of Wands (tipped left) – Look at the times in your past where you have struggled and fought against fate. This is not the type of force you can fight against, as your past has proven. Work at opening up to go with the flow instead. At least half of that churning in the water is just you thrashing around instead of swimming with the current.

Other elements included in this reading:
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration, Clarity, and Determination
Gneiss Wishing Stone for Patience in Moments of Discomfort
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Transitioning from December to January

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Fungjai Tarot

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

The High Priestess – You are in the process of reconnecting with your intuition and hidden knowledge.  For the past month, you’ve had to shut everything out and close everything down.  Now, as the month shifts from the holidays into the new year, those closed off parts of you are being welcomed back and opened up once more.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Princess of Cups atop Seven of Pentacles – This time around, don’t focus so much on the emotional growth itself. It will continue to develop on its own in the background as you focus on other peripheral tasks and issues.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

Five of Cups – Less disappointment in yourself and your life is what you are seeking at this time. There was a great deal of that going on prior to the holiday rush, and it isn’t something you want to return to now that you are surfacing again into the world once more.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

The Star – Watch out for false hope. Pretending everything is fine when it’s not helps no one and can be detrimental.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

The Magician – There’s a lot to be said for being prepared and having a few tricks up your sleeve to turn things in the direction you want them to go.  Don’t discount these factors, as they are a boon that is useful and can help you in finding a greater sense of satisfaction in life.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Two of Cups atop Nothing – The pain of losing the belief in your mother’s love. This wound has been festering quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) in the background for some time.  This month you discovered just what that motherly love is like and that you are deserving of it, and it’s given you the ability to begin the healing process of these past wounds.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

The Moon – Being in the dark isn’t always a bad thing. Night hikes are amazing, even when you can’t see where you’re going.  Sometimes not knowing really is the better option and can allow you to move forward when otherwise, with all the information before you, you would be frozen and unable to move.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Queen of Swords – Backlash for the recent visit is coming.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

The Hierophant – It’s time to reach out to ancestors, spirit guides, and (yes, even) Amalthea. Reach out, connect, listen, and learn.

Message from the Spirit World – You have all of the knowledge and tools needed to connect with the spirit world, and to benefit from the skills and knowledge being offered to you.

Message from the Mind’s World – Your growth is about more than just emotional intelligence. As that expands, so too does your intuition. Don’t place one over the other.

Message from the Physical World – Do not allow insecurities to keep you from connecting with others. That is how people end up old and alone.

Please Yourself

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was just shy of ten minutes long and more of a quiet time with breathing exercises than a full blown meditation.

Fungjai TarotToday’s draw is the Six of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of the kind of success that garners one public admiration and accolades.  This includes the seeking of such attention as well as the obtaining of it.

The reminder in today’s card is about what I truly want to accomplish with my days in these first few days back at home.  Do I want to spend this time pushing towards what others want to see from me?   Or… do I want to give myself what I need?

Soon, I will need to fill orders, but for now?  It’s more important to take some time to please myself instead of immediately hopping back on the hamster wheel.

#DiscordTarotholicsDec2021 Challenge Prompt
Question: Where in my life do I need to work on better boundaries in the year ahead?

Hidden Forest OracleSweets atop Cottage – Too much time wallowing at home can become an unhealthy pleasure. It’s important to make sure that you’re getting time outside and away from the house.  Don’t allow yourself to get so wrapped up in the comfort of home that it becomes unhealthy for you.

Dagger atop Cow – Cut ties with where you expect nourishment to come from. You’ve found it elsewhere.

This is about having finally experienced what family actually feels like.  You’ve truly experienced the emotional nourishment of mother energy without demands, requirements, and bartering involved.  No expectations… just love.  It’s time to accept that you can indeed find this type of energy elsewhere, and let go of the expectation that you will get it from your own family.

Mr Lionharts’ #TheDecemberTarot The Path Ahead Tarot Challenge Prompt

Fungjai Tarot and The Visionary OracleWhat seeds can I plant today in support of my personal growth?

The Devil and Slow Down – You think you’ve slowed down lately in your addictions, and it’s true that you have made great progress, but there is still further to go in this area.

What can I do to nurture these seeds to full growth?

The World and Do Nothing – Recognize that everything you need will come with time. Don’t lean into your addictions.  This isn’t about turning away from them, but realizing that they are not needs and don’t have to drive your actions as often as they do.

Weekly Creativity Prompt – Product Review

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Prompt: The Christmas season is at an end, and after Christmas day, I’m sure we’re all ready for a bit of peace and quiet.  For this prompt, I challenge you to draw (at least) three cards, and use them to write up the funniest (or worst) product review ever. Then share your cards as well as the product review that inspired them!

Fungjai TarotDear Sir or Madam,

[ The Hierophant ]

When I purchased your product, I was under the impression that it would be a sweet treat that would lift my spirits and be something I could enjoy on the road. I do a great deal of driving in my work, and it’s difficult to find snacks that can be left in the car year round without spoiling.

While I cannot deny that these candies are quite delicious, I believe you may wish to remove them from the market and I am asking for a refund as well as payment for damages. Let me explain…

[ King of Pentacles ]

I started my day at 7am, with a route that would take me through rural areas before heading over the mountain pass about midday. I had my first candy around 10am, and another a few minutes later.

At this time, I was thrilled with my purchase, and considered when I might have the opportunity to order more.

On the way up the pass, I ate a couple more. They really are quite delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness. At lunch time, I pulled into a rest stop to eat, and after, I had another candy.

[ The Chariot ]

It was soon after this that things took a turn. I started to feel a horrible cramping sensation in my gut. As you might imagine, a snowy mountain pass is not a convenient place to need to use the facilities.

Quickly, this cramping then turned into a rumbling, and it soon became apparent I was not going to make it back to civilization unsoiled if I did not pull over!

I pulled over and got out, and hid in the ditch behind my truck to put myself out of my misery.

I then proceeded to have the most explosive evacuation in my life. This lasted for so long that I was quite certain I would pass out and die of exposure.

[ The Emperor ]

When it was over, I stood up only to find a cop had pulled in behind me and had watched the entire thing. I was issued a $980 ticket fir public exposure and malicious mischief. Absolutely the most expensive shit I’ve ever taken.

From there, things only went down hill, and I am not referring to the road.

I sincerely feel that the Ex-Lax Candy Company should take full responsibility for this entire mess including the replacement of clothing worn that day and reupholstering of my truck seat. Please see the enclosed documents for remittances.
