Month End Check-In Tarot Reading with the MIMIT Tarot

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

The Emperor – Large and in charge, you are making responsible decisions about what is best for everyone but yourself.

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

The Sun Rx atop Ten of Swords – Don’t let the misfortunes, tests, and trials that feel like they’re beating you down actually drown you in the pit of depression. You may not be able to drown without the drop, but you can make sure you don’t allow it to drag you into the dark by letting go of self defeating thought patterns.

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

Seven of Cups – The echoes of who you were are still there. Just make sure you are only resurrecting the good stuff.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Ten of Wands – Take care you aren’t flirting with overwhelm and burnout.

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

Six of Cups – Your ancestors and guides are clamoring to become more involved.

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

Nine of Pentacles – It can often be difficult for you to sit in your moments of accomplishment, as you’ve been conditioned to always push for more.

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

Ace of Wands – Stir up in your memory the experience of your inspiration and creative spark flaring to life. Don’t forget how good it feels to be seized by inspiration.

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

The Last – Pay close attention to what is dying out. If it’s important to you, you will be given the opportunity to breathe new life into these things.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Cards – Don’t pass up the opportunity to give comfort to those who need it, and accept comfort from those offering it to you. Everyone needs others to apply a bit of balm to their soul now and then.

Message from the Spirit World – If you ignore the lessons from your past you will be doomed to repeat them.

Message from the Mind’s World – Spending too much time with your fingers in other peoples business will steal away your joy. Pick and choose instead of being involved in everything.

Message from the Physical World – Instead of focusing on ministry success, which will only continue a cycle of overwhelm, spend your time focusing on the whispering spark of your inspiration.

Finding the Positive Message for July 25 – 27

Mimit Tarot, Everybody's Tarot, Healing Waters Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

July 25

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card. That affirmation was “It’s okay to be uncomfortable. It’s okay to be scared. You will succeed in spite of these feelings.*  What I love?  Is that the bunny in the image has a mural of a full moon on it.  That uncertainty of darkness and shadow fits so well with the affirmation on the card.

The Hanged Man – This card is all about perspective, and the fact that the tail of the mouse is willingly holding on instead of tied to the branch? Indicates that not only is it about new perspectives, but about willingly seeking them out and being open to those perspectives when they are available.  These cards together are a reminder not to close yourself off to opportunity because you are scared or uncomfortable. Open your eyes and allow yourself to see past those feelings that try to cloud your view.

July 26

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card. The affirmation on today’s card is “You are doing enough. It’s going to be okay.”   This is one of those messages that I need pretty regularly, as I feel like I am -never- doing enough. It’s a reminder that this perspective is flawed, and comes from an ugly place of self-depreciation.  By reminding me of this, it helps me to try and see things from a healthier angle when I’m tempted to keep pushing myself harder and harder.

Four of Cups – Being pissy about your self care and not dong your meditation isn’t going to get you very far.  In fact, it will create setbacks that you really don’t need. Make sure you do your physio and meditation, even if you’re not inspired to do so.

DECK USED: EVERYBODY’S TAROT

July 27

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the affirmation in today’s Thera-Pets card. The affirmation for today is “The truth is that you are far more capable than you feel.” I’m not feeling particularly in-capable at the moment, but sometimes these messages come in order to help bolster and sustain rather than to correct.  Today’s message is one of those. It’s to keep me remembering that I’m far more capable than I often feel that I am, whether that is in making changes in my life, or just sustaining my business for a time instead of focusing on growth.

The Hierophant – Make sure you are tapping into available resources right now. You don’t know everything and still have so much potential, but to continue to improve and expand your own knowledge you need to seek out those that have been doing things for a lot longer than you have. Their tips and tricks can help improve your own knowledge and skills.

Finding the Positive Message for July 16 – 18

Kitten Nugget Tarot, Mimit Tarot, Elevate Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

July 16

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and focused on the affirmation in the Thera-Pets card for today, which is a reminder about treating yourself kindly.  Not just physically being kind to your body, but mentally making sure you’re not calling yourself names and that your inner voice isn’t being an ass and beating you up.  Sometimes, when we feel like crap (especially emotionally), it can be really hard not to let that inner voice hold sway.  Just remember… it’s a liar.  Don’t listen to it.

The Magician – For some reason? I saw this card and it said “MONDAY!” and I just went along with it and it was Monday all day today… even though it was actually Sunday.  The end result? I got a lot done that I normally would have had to do tomorrow… and I got to spend time with Gideon as well.  How about that?

DECK USED: KITTEN NUGGET TAROT

July 17

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and focused on the affirmation in the Thera-Pets card for today, which states “You are strong enough.”  This is a message that I think everyone needs to hear sometimes and I’m no exception.  Sometimes things feel so overwhelming, and it feels like there’s no way forward or no way to make it through.  The thing is, though?  We will make it through, and are far stronger and more resilient than we give ourselves credit for.  Myself included.

Eight of Cups – Remember that it’s okay to say “fuck it” and strike out on your own.  It’s about what’s right for you. If it’s not working for you? It’s just not going to work for you. Instead of self-sacrificing and making yourself miserable? Let it the fuck go and walk away.

July 18

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and focused on the affirmation in the Thera-Pets card for today, which says “you will survive this”.  Although not feeling particularly powerless at the moment, this card is a good reminder when you’re feeling vulnerable that you’re not going to crumble to dust just because you’re feeling out of sorts.  It’s okay, and you’ll get through it.  You’ll come out the other side just fine.

Queen of Swords – It’s always a good idea to keep in mind, though, when feeling out of sorts not to take those feelings out on others. There’s no need to lash out.  You can glide through it silently without hurting others feelings or dragging them down to feeling as crappy as you do in that moment.
