Fungjai Tarot - Six of Wands

Today’s draw is the Six of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of public accolades, societal expectations, people pleasing, and peer pressure.

The Six of Wands has then been combined with the Reversed Sirens card from the Nowbits Oracle, which says, “When you leave your body and go into the future in your mind… it might feel pleasant at first (depending on the future you’re visiting), but soon enough you may start to feel quite uncomfortable… almost to the point of hearing sirens. Not to worry, this is just your body saying: “come home please, I need you here with me”. And I KNOW you’re the kind of love that will come running to that call. Visit the futures that excite you! Visit the ones that make you come alive! But don’t forget to come back home. Travel out, Travel in. Repeat. This way what you’re actually doing is pulling your future INTO you, a little closer and closer each time, melding little pieces of it with your present self all the while. Reversing those sirens until they feel like CELEBRATIONS.“

When you imagine the future and daydream about your goals and ambitions, are you imagining a future where you are accomplishing and experiencing the things that you want to experience? Or are you imagining accomplishing goals and ambitions others have put upon you?

When considering these scenarios, which do you think will result in a happier and healthier you?

The message in today’s Six of Wands and Reverse Sirens card is a reminder that the things we set our sights on in the future are the things we end up moving towards in our present. Make sure when contemplating these future scenarios and your goals that you’re focusing on what will make you happy in the future, instead of just what others are expecting of you.

Jupiter enters Leo Prompt for June 30th : How can I step into the most radiant version of myself?

Tarot Reading with the Maruco Animal Tarot

Reading Summary: Put some passion and enthusiasm (King of Wands) into getting your house (Four of Wands) in order (The Emperor).

Take Away: Your house is a mess. In it’s current state, it drags you down and creates a deep sense of dissatisfaction for you. That means that it’s time to do something about it.

To step into the most radiant version of yourself, this is the first step. Get going on putting your home to rights, and enlist others to this goal because it’s a big job and is going to take some time.

Note: In this reading the Aquarius result on the spin of the Zodiac Wheel is an indication concerning who you need to engage most in assisting with this endeavor. (That would be J.)

Other elements included in this reading:
Zodiac Wheel in Aquarius (indication of person in one’s life)
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Carnelian Agate Mushroom for Focusing On Aspirations
Moonstone for Fostering Emotional Stability
Citrine for Energy Lift (easing the weight of heavy energies)
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

#DiscordTarotholicsJun2026 Challenge
Prompt for June 30th : Grab a spread of your choice you’re curious about… and give it a go!
Spread: Figure Out the Feeling Spread by JuniperDivination
Feeling: Increased Anxiety and Restlessness

Tarot Reading with the Fungjai Tarot

What is triggering this feeling?

Three of Wands Rx – Immobility. You’ve had a number of false starts this spring and summer, but no true momentum. Although things aren’t necessarily stagnant, it feels like the water just churns and churns but never flows.

What this feeling is trying to tell me?

King of Swords Rx – You are expecting too much and being too hard on yourself. Unrealistic expectations are at the root of your restless anxiety.

One thing that might help right now

Wheel of Fortune atop Five of Wands (tipped left) – Look at the times in your past where you have struggled and fought against fate. This is not the type of force you can fight against, as your past has proven. Work at opening up to go with the flow instead. At least half of that churning in the water is just you thrashing around instead of swimming with the current.

Other elements included in this reading:
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Conch Shell Knot for Concentration, Clarity, and Determination
Gneiss Wishing Stone for Patience in Moments of Discomfort
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Pulling at the Strings

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Today’s meditation was a self-directed ten minute session, focused upon the “Give It a Minute” card from the Nowbits Oracle (shown) by @Sunni_Chapman and the guidance that came with that card.

That guidance says, “When you share your tender heart and you meet silence… do not turn away from that void.
The silence is only a reflection.
A reflection of your silence towards that part of yourself.
And if you meet it with love, again and again, until it knows you’re really there for it, and not just faking, it will begin to trust you, and thus to trust life, and to let itself share EVEN MORE.
In this you are mining the gems of yourself, unearthing them from the shadows and bringing them into the light.
And as you allow them to sparkle in that silence, and to speak love into that silence more and more, that void will turn into the physical manifestation of every sweet thing that you ever wanted to hear.”

Колесо года Мистическое Таро - Queen of Cups and the Nowbits OracleThe @GlitterbyInk #SeptemberSoul25 Challenge
Seeds of Intention Prompt for September 7th : Calling
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Queen of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition. Among other things, this often translates into themes to do with emotional support and advice from a trusted party that is easy to talk to.

When I first saw today’s card, my first impression wasn’t that she was lifting a cup to her lips for a drink, but eating an anatomically correct heart held in  her hand.

I think it’s important to remember that even those who love you, care about you, and only want what is best for you aren’t above manipulating you to their own ends.  And, while sometimes those ends might be in your favor? Sometimes they’re not.  This does not necessarily mean that they’re out to get you, but what it does mean is that they are willing to use your emotions to manipulate your actions and reactions.

So the question becomes.  Do you mind?  Do you care?  Is it more comfortable for you to go along with these machinations that, to be fair, probably aren’t harmful to you in the long run? Or are boundaries needed to ensure that this type of thing isn’t happening?

The message in today’s cards asks us to consider if we are allowing others to pull our strings, and if that’s truly what we want. If it is, that’s okay!  Sometimes that string pulling gives us the direction we need. If it isn’t what you want, though… then today’s card is a wake up call that it’s time to take a closer look at your boundaries and do a bit of adjusting.

#DiscordTarotholicsSep2025 Challenge
Prompt for September 7th : Do Spread 1

Tarot Reading with the Wild Arcana

Wolf – How can I bolster my strength and bravery for hurdles yet to come?

Ten of Swords – Acknowledge that this is the ending of something. You may not know the extent of what’s going to be released yet, but it’s an ending all the same. Endings make room for something new to take their place, and you need to be open to that something new that’s coming. Mourn and let go now, so that you can be ready.

Owl – How can I learn to better trust my perception of the world and other people?

Two of Swords – Sometimes you just have to make a decision and take a leap. Only through these leaps of faith can you learn to trust more easily… not just the world and other people, but also that it’s not going to be the end of the world if you’re wrong.

Stag – Where in my life can greater dignity create a stronger sense of integrity?

The Star – Again we see an answer that is about having faith. That means believing that when you treat people with dignity and believe in their integrity, it in turn inspires them to have integrity when dealing with you.

Eagle – Why does good and successful leadership also require a modicum of grace?

Nine of Pentacles – When you lead with grace it inspires those that you are leading to feel as if they are valued, and as a result they then feel that they have something of great value in you and your leadership.

Salmon – In what direction have I been moving by instinct without realizing it?

Ten of Pentacles – You feel that you’re failing in your endeavors, but you are not. You’re still moving in a positive direction towards success and stability, even if it doesn’t feel like it at the moment.

Wild Goose – How have my past relationships and friendships taught me to be a better person?

Seven of Wands – Your past relationships and friendships have taught you how to stand strong when it’s necessary, and soften when it’s needed. They’ve also taught you how to appreciate differences of opinion and even listen to them, while still standing your ground in your own beliefs and values.

Don’t Hide

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Today’s meditation was a self-directed ten minute session, focused upon the theme of Other Lives from the Nowbits Oracle card (shown) by @Sunni_Chapman and a quote from the guidance that came with that card.

That guidance says, “Whatever you see yourself doing and feeling (in the future)… how might you do that and feel that TODAY? You must be like a mouse and crawl into your dream until it begins to take shape in your (present).”

Animal Crossing New Horizons Tarot's Knight of Pentacles and Nowbits Oracle@FatMumSlim August #FMSPAD Challenge
Prompt for August 9th : Cosy Corners | #FMS_COSYCORNER25

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of an active, projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, labors, and manifestations. This often translates into a slow moving but determinedly forward moving energy, personality, or person that has their eye on the prize regardless of the slow and steady speed they may be moving at.

Don’t let your cozy corners keep you from moving, even if you’re movement is slow. Yes, cozy corners and other comfortable spots are a wonderful thing, but don’t use them to hide from your stresses and worries. These places are for rest and restoration, not hiding away from the world.

Sometimes, trudging through a struggle takes time. It’s okay to retreat to rest, but you can’t stay in retreat forever. Sooner or later? You have to get back out there and moving again. Even if “moving” is pure determination and baby steps, rather than an actual race or even a walk.

Today’s message is a reminder that sometimes slower is better; and other times slower it’s just the best you can do right now. Moving forward on your path one excruciating inch at a time is still healthier than stagnancy. So don’t hide. Keep moving, even when the going is at a snail’s pace.

Two of Wands – Vision Prompts for August 5th thru 7th

Tarot Reading with the Dawn Aquarius Tarot and Higher Intuitions OracleWhat vision am I being called to commit to?

The High Priestess and See the Beauty Around You – The beauty of the world can only be enjoyed if you’re willing to be open to the unspoken magic of it all. It’s in looking at the little things and seeking out the secrets of nature and the earth. It’s in finding a spiritual connection to these things through moments of thought and reflection.

Where am I still playing small in relation to what I really want?

The Fool and Take a Chance – Big rewards come from big risks. You are often far too cautious to take those risks, letting reason and fear dampen your enthusiasm, instead of letting your curiosity and excitement run away with you and your “good sense”.

How can I take the next courageous step toward the future I imagine?

The World and Be Strong – Keep your eye on the prize and keep moving. Let determination and willpower be an accelerant to your inner fires, increasing that spark of interest you are feeling into something bigger that can propel you forward.

Barbara Walker Tarot in a Tin's Temperance card, Prince of Wands, and Ten of WandsWhat progress am I ready to claim with pride?

Temperance Rx – Although the anxiety of doing so is vicious, you are taking care to move with moderation through this current trial and not get ahead of yourself, nor jump ahead of slow to emerge developments.

How can I stay rooted in focus as my vision expands?

Prince of Wands – When you’re not moving fast, keep your attention on what you want. As you see more and more of the bigger picture, you will need that determined focus on what matters to you to keep you from getting distracted and veering off track.

Where am I being invited to trust the momentum I’ve created?

Ten of Wands – Don’t allow the chaos to weigh you down or keep you stuck. You are a survivor, and if you are careful with how you expend your energy and resources, you will not end up in the untenable situation you fear.
