Roses, Dust & Ashes Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Humility card combined with the affirmation “You are not a burden. Not today, not ever.”

There is a big difference between humility and self abuse, and it is a line that you need to take more seriously and acknowledge more often.

After the stressful night that the drop created for you last night, a huge number of fears surfaced to be there to greet you come waking up this morning.

The cards for today are a reminder that everyone feels down on themselves from time to time.  It becomes abuse, though, when you then use those feelings to validate negative inner narratives concerning being not enough and undeserving.

Nova Witch Tarot's Ten of Wands and High Priestess; Roses, Dust & Ashes OracleWhat is my relationship with my body?

Ten of Wands and Insight – You tend to push your body as hard as you can until your body speaks up and tells you that it can’t handle anymore.

How can I love my body more?

The High Priestess and Eternity – Listen closer instead of putting off easing up until you’re at the breaking point. Remember that your body is not going to be as good as it is now forever.

As you age, the pain will worsen and your mobility will continue to decrease… even more so than most. The doctors warned you about this two decades ago when they pieced you back together. Ignoring the problem and continuing to push to your breaking point again and again is not going to make it go away, and will hurry you into that advanced pain and decreased mobility even faster than if you take care of yourself.

Silver Maple Key for Fostering Strength and Adaptability

Tarot de Marseille Packard and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Two of Coins combined with the affirmation “It’s okay to be a work in progress; you don’t have to have everything figured out right now.”

When you work on creating balance in your life, it means that you don’t have as much time to spend on one specific thing. That means that working on each of these individual different things in your life takes more time.

The cards for today are a reminder that this doesn’t mean that you’re any less capable, it just means that it’s taking time to get where you want to go in these different areas because you are putting so much more on your plate that needs to be done. The more you need to juggle, the more time it takes to get any one thing done; and that’s okay, because you’re still making progress a little at a time.

Art Deco Tarot and The Granny Squares Card DeckThis gives me calmness today.

Six of Pentacles atop Ten of Swords; 112-Stitch Classic – Remember not to allow painful endings to drag you into old habits of being less generous with yourself. The number of steps it took to get you where you are were many, and with each one you made the best decision you could. This means that the outcome is not so much about something you can control in the present, but rather something you need to experience for growth.

Just like the leaves on the tree change color, which transformation may I initiate?

King of Cups RX and Season of Daisies – Things are beginning to change as the holiday season draws closer, summer fading away along with the extra time that you’ve had to spend with Gideon over the last couple months.

Sometimes in the past, this transition has crashed down upon you both like a wrecking ball. You have an opportunity this year for it to move at a more gradual pace, and help ease you both into the barren seven weeks of the holiday rush when you are unable to connect as often.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Red Alder Acorns for Determination and Confidence
Rose Quartz for Gentle Kindness to Self and Others

W.I.T.C.H. Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Goddess of Grace card combined with the affirmation “You’re not a disappointment. You’re not a burden. Your mind is just bamboozling you today. You’re all good, I promise.”

You may not tend to hold grudges against others for very long, but that inner narrative in your mind that leans into negativity absolutely loves to keep grudges against you.

Today’s cards are a reminder that when you make mistakes, recriminations and blame run rampant in the mind when what is really needed is to accept that you have learned a lesson and be upon yourself forgiveness. Don’t allow that inner voice to step in and make you feel like shit. Instead, see the mistakes made as positives… as the learning experiences they are meant to be. Let go of the emotional backlash involved.

Maya Land Tarot and Inner Ecology OracleWhat warm wisdom may I embrace during these still wonderful days?

Fool and Soil – Remember that fun is important. Excitement is important. Enthusiasm is absolutely important. They are the fundamental foundations on which we connect with our inner child and make ourselves whole. Make sure that you are doing things that you’re excited and enthusiastic about, and having fun whenever possible.

What is my focus, just like a spider in a web?

Nine of Swords and Symbiosis – You spend a great deal of time worrying about a plethora of different things. Don’t push all of these worries away, for some of them are valid. Sometimes when you are worrying, you are also planning for that “just in case” scenario. The key is balance, so that you do not turn your worry into anxiety, but keep it in a place of empowerment.

Just as I have no influence on the change of season, what may I worry less about?

The Tower and Seeds – Don’t worry so much about the changes that come, or about the seeds planted to grow through to the other side of the chaos. A lot of those things you worry about are more than capable of taking care of itself and sorting itself out without your contribution or stress. They just need time to germinate, so leave it alone.

Wisdom of Ancient Egypt Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Chepre card combined with the affirmation “Let’s just deal with today. You can deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.”

Preparing for the future is more than plotting and planning and prep work. It’s also about getting the rest that you need so that you can put your all into what’s coming.

Today’s cards encourage taking things easy today and not pushing. You don’t have to get everything done right now. Rest and renewal of your energy and spirit are just as important as active preparation work.

Deck of the Odd Tarot - The Fool, Seven of Wands, Page of Pentacles, The Hermit, Four of SwordsWhat fruits may I harvest from last month?

The Fool – That new fresh air feeling at the end of the month needs to be carried forward. Make sure that you don’t leave it behind.

Now that it is getting darker, which shadow aspects are coming up?

Seven of Wands – Your going to have to deal with your attachment to staying at home and ignite your passion for getting out in nature. With the heat no longer beating down your door, it’s time to step out into the fresh air.

What continues to feed my energy?

Page of Pentacles – Taking things slow is allowing you to get needed breaks right now. The longer processing times and no rush attitude means you are not constantly tapped out.

What old pain still haunts me?

The Hermit – You are still temped by unhealthy alone time and indulge in those activities far too often. Just because it feels good doesn’t mean it is good for you.

This is how I find balance between action and rest.

Four of Swords – Always lean into healthy rest and regenerative activities. You have a tendency to push yourself far too hard. In order to find balance, you need to focus on leaning harder in the other direction to create a counterbalance to that push.

Silver Maple Key for Fostering Strength and Adaptability

I Can Learn With Pooh Early Skills Cards and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Vessel card combined with the affirmation “Hey. You can be a weirdo. You can mess up, a lot. You’ll still be lovable anyway.”

The message within today’s cards is a reminder to not pin your self-worth on perfectionism. Humans are, by nature, not perfect and not meant to be.

Screwing up is how we learn. It’s a part of the human experience. Each time we mess up, it’s like pennies added to a tip jar. A tiny sacrifice of our pride in the moment, which over time adds up to a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Philosophical Question for September 4th : What is humanity’s greatest accomplishment?

Oracle Reading with the I Can Learn With Pooh Early Skills CardsReading Summary: Awakening (Pillow) into a species of independent thought (Pooh Reading) that values accruing knowledge (Mixing Bowl).

Take Away: We read. We write. We reason, and seek to learn, know, explore, and build upon what we learn to become not just knowledgeable but innovative.

Humanity’s high intelligence, cognition, and the capacity for reasoning are their greatest accomplishment, for it is these evolutionary factors that allow us all to then succeed at each new accomplishment that comes forth from them.

Herbana Witch Oracle and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is The Bark card combined with three affirmation “You’re nice to have around, even when you feel like a potato.”

There is an important divide between the internal and external. What your negative inner self-talk says to yourself is not what everyone else is thinking.  No one else is being hard on you for taking a break or relaxing… it’s just you and your own thoughts doing that.

Others like having you around even when you’re not being productive.  Don’t let your own judgements project themselves on others.  They are not judging you… you are.

The Entropy Tarot and The Liminal Forest OracleWhat is my relationship with sexuality?

Justice and Anger – You still hold onto a lot of resentment around the results of your testicular cancer journey. Instead of reveling in the joys of what you still can do, there is continued resentment concerning the effects wrought by the cancer and treatment. Once banked, this anger was recently stirred back to the surface by the need for HRT to correct imbalances brought on by the long term effects of these past treatments.

What have I struggled with in the past?

Empress atop Knight of Pentacles, Sacrifice – Being kind to yourself by going slow and letting things go. You have been conditioned to believe that you have to do it all, perfectly and quickly. Your reactions to the imperfections of the present are rooted in the conditioning that echoes from your past.

What can this challenge unlock for me?

Knight of Swords and Perspective – This challenge is offering you an opportunity explore new ways to look at and embrace your changed body. The opportunity to see a different perspective, and move forward from the old one.

Dried Red Maple Leaf for Adaptability and Connection
Dried Bay Leaf for Protection From Negativity
