❤️ 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?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Mushroom Hunter's Tarot and Mushroom Spirit Oracle

EarthThree of Pentacles – Ask for help.  ASK for HELP!  ASK FOR FUCKING HELP!!

AirTwo of Pentacles – You need to work on balancing your needs and your responsibilities this week.  Things are out of balance and you are feeling the consequences of that.  Take time this week to really reflect on what you need in order to put things back into balance and how to start working in that direction.

WaterMagician atop Knight of Wands – Plan and strategize to get the results you want instead of reacting on impulse alone. Use your tools.

FireNine of Swords – Fears and anxieties are going to try and stand in your way and drag you down this week. Being aware allows you to combat this and not react to it blindly.

WaningGolden Teacher – Don’t get too wrapped up on your inner thoughts and introspection this week. It will only drag you down.

WaxingGhost Mushroom atop Indigo Milk Cap – Be honest with others about how you’re feeling and how you are doing this week. Don’t hide your truth behind a mask of “I’m fine”.

DECKS USED: MUSHROOM HUNTER’S TAROT AND MUSHROOM SPIRIT ORACLE

Weekly Creativity Prompt – The Chariot

Prompt: “Pull the Death card from your deck(s). Compare the imagery between the card provided below and the card(s) from your own deck(s). How would you read them differently and why?

Modern Love Tarot - The ChariotModern Love Tarot – Relaxed and confident, the figure walks down the street with her two pups, and makes it clear that no matter the hurdles she will find a way to make things work for her so she can do what she wants (after all, just look at that rig the little chihuahua is set up with).  This card is the epitome of “where there’s a will, there’s a way” mentality, and encourages us to think outside the box in order to adapt life to our needs rather than always adapting ourselves to the world around us.

The Chariot Card - Magic Planet Tarot, Mushroom Hunter's Tarot, Lonely Dreamer Tarot

Magic Planet Tarot – Look at the tip of the chin in the figure on this card.  There’s stubbornness there, and a hint of arrogance.  He knows where he’s going and exactly how he’s going to get there. Sometimes? Arrogance and stubbornness is what is needed to get you where you want to go. Be sure to apply as needed when reaching towards your goals.

Mushroom Hunter’s Tarot – The shaggy mane mushroom is a hardy one, able to push through even the hardest of barriers to find its way to freedom, including concrete.  This card and the mushroom chosen to be depicted upon it are a reminder that you have the willpower and determination to plow through the obstacles that try to get in your way.  You’re stronger than you think you are.

Lonely Dreamer Tarot – Those are some big ass horses, and a very small man in comparison, and yet the figure pulls the horses back from the ledge.  Autonomy is an important factor in this card.  No matter how strong the current that pulls you forward in life, if you’re not going in the direction you want to go, you need to remember that it is in your power to turn… pivot… and redirect yourself in another direction.  Don’t allow yourself to just go along for the ride.  Speak up.  Seize the reigns.  Take control and steer yourself away from that cliff’s edge you’re being pulled towards.
