❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

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?

Little Odd Tarot and The Crystal Forests Oracle

EarthThe Magician Rx atop Page of Cups – Don’t worry so much this week about what you can do, but focus instead on what you want to explore. Success and goal achievement are not everything.

AirThe Emperor – Seize control of your inner narratives and keep them in line like minions under your leadership. You do not have to be a victim to their influence.

WaterPage of Pentacles – It’s okay for things to feel new and different. It’s okay to have to relearn old lessons. Take your time to really explore those lessons you’ve needed to return to.

FireThe Moon – Don’t let uncertainties and shifting shadows trip you up, or cause you to freeze and stagnate this week.

WaningChrysocolla (Diplomacy) – It’s okay sometimes to say that it’s “my way or the highway”. Just make sure (as was pointed out to you in a reading yesterday) that you allow people to see your perspective and your reasoning behind this when you take a hard line on something.

WaxingAmethyst (Wisdom) – By the same turn, make sure you are listening to others before drawing that line in the sand. When you take in others opinions and perspectives, it helps you make better choices.

Take Away – Spend less time focusing on the finish line, and more time paying attention to the little fun things you can dive into along the way. Have fun, repeat lessons, and stay strong in the face of that negative inner narrative.  Make sure when interacting with others that you’re communicating clearly and listening closely.

Project Procrastinations

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Little Odd Tarot - Knight of SwordsToday’s draw is the Knight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s thought, intellect, reasoning, education, aspirations, and communication.

Determination is displayed on the features of the knight in today’s card, their forward charge faced toward the past as if to draw our attention to the things we have done… things we’ve not finished that need to be charged into and completed.

The message in today’s card is about those projects that remain unfinished, and encouragement to get going on getting them done. Make a plan and get going. If you want something done you’re gonna have to get off your ass and do it. No project finishes itself.

The #STCTarotChallenge Statements of Power Prompt
Questions for June 20th

Little Odd Tarot and the Irreverent OracleI will discontinue…

King of Cups and Hermit Crab – … hiding from Gideon when I’m feeling out of sorts. I always try to curl into myself and avoid coming online, even when I know it’s his company that I need. Instinct… or more accurately? Habit has me instead wanting to curl up by myself and hide.

So I may…

Eight of Pentacles atop Ten of Wands, Bull – … work on better methods of dealing with overwhelm with his help there to lead the way. By yielding (instead of locking horns with him in my stubbornness), I allow him to shine at what he does best in helping me.

Mr Lionhart’s #TheJuneTarot Spark of Magic Prompt
Questions for June 19th thru 21st

Take time to carve a candle today in preparation of the Solstice. Carve it with everything you wish to manifest during this Solstice.

Mr Lionhart's Summer Solstice Spell with the Little Odd Tarot

This Solstice will bless me with the flame of…

The Hermit atop Knight of Wands – Independent enthusiasm. Motivation to get things done and work toward completing projects that need my sole attention.  Not everything has to be done with others, just do what you can on your own and do the rest later on.

My Solstice candle will help me with…

Ace of Cups – Connecting to my emotions in more healthy ways. Sometimes accomplishments need celebrating just to lift your mood, and in order to have those celebrations, make sure you are appreciating what you do manage to get done.  Don’t discount it.

Today I spark the flame of Independent Enthusiasm within myself and light my candle of Emotions Exploration and Understanding. And as my candle burns, may it burn bright with the blessing of this Solstice. As above, so below, so be it.

Daily Self Kindness

I’ve started making a dated list of different things that I do during my day. Whether it’s different work for the business, learning a new skill, etc.  There is also a list of to-do stuff that I can check off and date as I get them done.   I really wanted an app for this, but I can’t seem to find an app that actually dates completed tasks when you mark them as finished, and keeps a running “completed tasks list” you can look back on.
