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?
Earth – Five of Swords – Are you going to be a gracious winner? Or a gloating ass? The other guy is already bleeding and his day is fucked. Do you really need to go the extra step of grinding it in and making them feel worse? Remember the person that you want to be, and resist the impulse of the moment.
Air – Ace of Swords – Make sure that you aren’t ignoring or discounting new ideas this week, but instead are communicating them with others or writing them down for posterity. They’re good, and worth entertaining. Who knows, one of them might even ignite a wildfire of inspiration.
Water – Eight of Swords – When it comes to your emotions, just because you ignore it doesn’t mean that it’ll go away. Make sure that you are communicating and sharing your emotions rather than trying to bury them or hide them away.
Fire – The Chariot – Make sure you get moving and get things done this week. What you do this week will help pave the road forward on what comes next. That future result lies in your hands right now.
Waning – Scythe and Key – Although being unkind to yourself can be a key to your motivation, now is not the time to utilize that particular method of getting things done.
Waxing – Crossroads and Whip – as indicated in the fire position in this reading, now is the time to make a choice between one path and another. You need to look at how you want things to go and then make sure that you stay disciplined and on the correct path that will take you in the direction of your goals.
Take Away – Take care that you are being kind to others, even when you may not always feel that they deserve it.
Communicate your emotions and ideas this week, rather than keeping them to yourself.
It’s time to get prep started on the holiday rush to come, as doing so will pave the way to a successful season.
