Today is the new 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. Today’s spread is courtesy of dryaddin.

How is my relationship with my job right now?

Giantkiller atop Scholar – You just remembered the other day that you haven’t been keeping up logging your tax information. You know you’ll crush it on catching up though, when it’s time. You’ll just have to put your mind and determination to it.

What life aspect needs more organization in this moment?

Chasm – Get on top of adding structure and organization to those things that help you to stave off and mitigate your depressive episodes. You can make sure you fit in what you need if you build the room for it into your day that you know you need.

What services can I give to the community for my own spiritual development?

High Tide – Work on your boundaries. It may not seem like a service to others, but it absolutely is.

What health aspects should I pay attention to at this time?

Memory – Your negative self narrative affects every aspect of your life including your physical well-being. Make sure you are stepping up with those methods that help you combat those negative inner thoughts.

How can I improve my self-healing skills?

Vampire – Look for those in your life that are tapping into your energy, and do what’s needed to make sure your boundaries are in place to keep those unhealthy influences to a minimum.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Driftwood – Stay alert and aware for warning signs and dangerous situations.

September 10

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords – You are important. You matter.” There are a lot of people depending on you right now, and you need to make sure that you are doing what you can to take care of yourself and give yourself the rest and recuperation  you need.  Don’t ignore your need for rest or push yourself too hard.  It’s important to keep yourself well cared for and rested, or you will begin to fall apart… and then so will everything else.

The Hanged Man – Remember when your negative self talk is speaking that it’s a liar. It is a defense mechanism used to keep you beaten down so that you won’t climb so high as to crash into the ground when knocked down by others.  It is outmoded, and you need to make sure that you are using positivity and optimism to fight back against it instead of allowing that narrative to be your only view of yourself and the things that you do.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Temperance – “It’s going to be okay”, you just need to make sure to take things slow.  Don’t rush. You’re homesick and missing life before you had to step into this caretaker role.  Although this time and responsibility isn’t going to last forever, you can’t rush the return to normalcy. It has to move at its own pace, and you need to be patient with the process.

The #lucetseptembertarotchallenge Dionysian Mysteries Challenge
Questions for September 9th thru 12th – One With Nature

Dionysian Mysteries Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Emblemata Lenormand

Rapture – How can you open yourself to new experiences and insights?

Garden and Ring – Commit to opening yourself up to social interactions and spending time with others. Although what you feel like doing is retreating into alone time, you know that it’s only through interacting with others you can get the external influences you need.

Connection with Nature – How can you ground yourself and establish a deeper connection with nature?

Mountain and Fox – Be clever in dealing with the obstacles in your way so that they don’t overcome you and your efforts.  You may not be able to get into the woods and among the trees right now, but you can walk barefoot in the grass.

The Dionysian Feast – How can you bring more joy and playfulness into your life?

Cross and Lily – Take care not to see your time with your elders as a burden.  Have fun with it.  Yes, there’s a lot of responsibility involved, but there’s also a lot of joking and amusement.  Don’t lose sight of the fun that can be had by sinking too deep into the mentality of burden and obligation.

Liberation from Limitations – What fears or doubts are holding you back from being fully yourself?

Woman and Scythe – You fear that your softer and more open side will become a liability that gets you hurt or be seen as unappealing and leave you cut off and alone.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

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?

Self-Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Atomic Age Tarot and Divine Nature Oracle

Earth – Page of Wands – Start small, but start all the same. Do the things your body needs and start doing them now. Make it something you’re invested in instead of a chore. For you, taking care of yourself is something you have to re-learn again and again each time you fall out of habit.

Air – Ace of Wands Rx – Don’t go starting any new projects this week. You have enough to do and don’t need the stress of putting more on your plate. Instead of working on new things, put your focus into cleaning up those things you have already started.

Water – The High Priestess – There is a lot of emotions going on in you right now that are beyond your ability to dig into and understand. Accept this, and instead of digging, let those secrets currents within you sit for now. Let them be a mystery for later.

Fire – The Magician – You have the tools to do what you need and accomplish what you put your mind to. Use them instead of making things harder for yourself than they have to be.

Waning – Own Your Power – You are not alone and you are stronger with the support of others. Instead of falling into the habit of doing everything yourself, make sure that you are welcoming in help from others.

Waxing – Stand for Justice – Lean into your need for fairness and balance this week.

Seven of Wands – “Depression lies. There is no circumstance that is unchangeable. There is no situation that is ever hopeless.”  This was a lesson that was one of the most valuable I ever learned about my depression, and helped me the greatest in combating my suicidal urges during major depressive episodes (and outside of them as well).  When you are in the grip of depression, it feels like the misery that you’re experiencing will never end, that the numbness and ache and feelings of loss and uselessness are going to go on forever and ever. It feels like it’s all that you’ve ever known, and all that you will ever experience and that how you feel in that grip of depression is all you will ever be.

In my battle with depression and learning how to live with the condition of alternating Major Depressive Disorder and Dysthymia, one of the greatest weapons in that battle is the understanding that everything is temporary and that depression is a liar.  In the grip of my depression, these things become my mantra, a constant reminder as I struggle to stay afloat that it isn’t -always- a struggle and that what I’m feeling will come to an end, that everything I love and enjoy will be there waiting for me to love and enjoy it again once I’ve managed to climb out of depression’s pit.

Today’s cards are a reminder of these tools… and encouragement to not give up.  Never give up.

Ten of Wands – Stop using your negative inner narrative to push yourself too hard.  You’re allowed to be tired. You’re allowed to take breaks.  If others judge you for it?  That’s their problem, not yours. You are doing far too much to be treating yourself so harshly in your head right now, so instead of focusing on all the things you aren’t getting done?  Focus on how much you –are– getting done.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Nine of Pentacles – When you stumble or come up against obstacles and other setbacks, instead of calling yourself a failure or pushing yourself through negative methods, look at all that you have accomplished and remind yourself just how capable you are and just how far you’ve already come.  It’s okay to have rough days, just don’t lose sight of the good or the fact that your hard work is still paying off in the end.

#DiscordTarotholicsSep2023 Tarot Challenge
Mabon Spread – Part 1 of 2

Mabon Oracle Reading with the Earthly Souls & Spirits Moon Oracle

Wolf: Bravery / Strength – How can I bolster my strength and bravery for hurdles yet to come?

Compassion – Cut yourself some slack. You have been up against a lot and need to be kinder and more understanding in how you treat yourself both physically and emotionally.

Owl: Trust / Knowledge – How can I learn to better trust my perception of the world and other people?

Clarity – Don’t allow your preconceptions to cloud your vision. Intuition is, of course, important… as are first impressions, but don’t let them be the end-all be-all of how you see people and the world. Stay open for new revelations.

Stag: Dignity / Integrity – Where in my life can greater dignity create a stronger sense of integrity?

Spontaneous – You don’t have to be unpredictable to be spontaneous from time to time.  By allowing yourself the structure and stability that is a part of your nature, spontaneity may come in different forms than for those that don’t value those qualities, but it still counts and will keep things fresh while still allowing you to stay true to yourself.

Eagle: Leadership / Grace – Why does good and successful leadership also require a modicum of grace?

Beautiful – People are drawn to those things that appeal to their sense of grace and beauty. It’s through those qualities that leaders draw people in, collecting others to follow them where they lead.  This makes charisma (which grace is absolutely a part of) an important quality that is needed for a good and successful leader.

Salmon: Movement / Instinct – In what direction have I been moving by instinct without realizing it?

Evolve – Your growth in the direction of the person you want to become continues, even when you are not diligently keeping an eye on your path and progress. You don’t need to keep an eye on things every moment, as long as you are being true to your nature, so that as you grow and evolve you continue to head in the right direction.

Wild Goose: Devotion / History – How can my past relationships and friendships taught me to be a better person?

Faith – Your past relationships have helped to teach you to have more faith in yourself by showing you that you are stronger and more resilient than you realize.
