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?

General – The Devil – Keep an eye on your addictions and temptations this week and make sure to reign them in so they don’t get out of hand. You know when things get emotional that you can start struggling with these issues, and the weekend so far has made it pretty clear it’s going to be that kind of week.

Earth – The World atop Two of Swords – Don’t get stymied by your ambition. The end goal isn’t moving away from you, you are just being held back by your own hesitation.

Air – Ten of Swords – You may feel betrayed and defeated this week. Just breathe and lift your chin in order to continue looking forward. Pausing to stew in this moment won’t be healthy for you.

Water – Four of Pentacles atop Ten of Wands – If you focus too hard on stability in your emotions, you will quickly overwhelm yourself this week. Remember that it’s okay to feel unbalanced and vulnerable.

Fire – Page of Pentacles – Slow and steady. Don’t push and don’t rush. Just take things one step at a time this week. Be open to new methods and use this week to “up your game”.

Waning – The Monster and The Moon – Don’t allow your emotions to skew your view of yourself into something ugly and negative.

Waxing – Farm and The Fool – Use levity and laughter to lighten the load where it comes to the weight of work and responsibility you are dealing with.
