Wallowing in the Good

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Loaf Tarot - Nine of PentaclesToday’s draw is the Nine of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of wealth, success, and satiation in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, manifestations, and the physical world. This card often translates into themes that have to do with the well earned boon of hard work paying off and the gratitude that comes with this good fortune.

In the imagery of this card, that chinchilla is definitely looking full on grateful, too.

As is often the case, I see this card as a reminder to count your blessings and take stock of your accomplishments. Not just count them, though… really wallow in them and enjoy them.  It’s not enough to just recognize those things in which you have it good.  Sometimes you really have to just dive in and enjoy them to the fullest.

Questions for February 12th thru 14th

Oracle de L'AmourHow can I best align my highest self right now?

La Plume de l’Ange atop Le Goût de l’Autre – You don’t need to focus so much on your self care that it becomes a weight and a chore instead of an act of nurturing and love.

What am I asked to lovingly embrace in support of the self?

Le Don à La Vie atop L’arte des Métamorphoses – Change. Life is unpredictable, and that is supposed to be a good thing, not something to fear or fight against.

Daily Self Kindness

I’m dosing myself with Cold FX this week, since I woke up the other day with a swollen gland in my throat that turned into a sore ear, and then yesterday and today I’ve had a swollen gland in my jaw and the beginnings of a cold sore.  For me, these are usually signs I’m coming down with something. I want to hit whatever my immune system is trying to react to with a hard punch before it can grab hold.

🌕 Full Moon in Leo – February 2022

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Tomorrow is the full “Snow” moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is about the medicine within, and brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot by the Moon series.

L'Oracle de L'Amore

Where is my power during this full moon?

L’Amour en Destinée – Place your trust and confidence in the cycles of life and your belief in the universe to provide you with opportunities to thrive. Shit happens, it’s a part of life. Remember that you are a survivor and will ride the upswing with a strong grip. You will not drown, for there is still too much yet to be had.

What belief, relationship, or habit no longer serves me?

Le Souffle de L’Amour – What is no longer serving you, at least at this time, is belief and habit that drive you to fight even when you are powerless. Try using these moments of powerlessness to rest instead, and to prepare for opportunity to show its face.

What area of life could benefit from me taking a risk?

Les Trois Temples – Here we see an encouragement to let ourselves delve into the passion and connection that sex provides.  There is more to sex than physical unity, and this card is an encouragement to connect more deeply, without fear, and allow that connection to flourish through the three centers of the body, the heart, and the mind.

Where am I being called to be creative and think outside the box?

Les Voiles de L’Amour – Instead of focusing on what’s not going right, focus on what is.  You’ve just experienced a huge upset with a great deal of anxiety.  The thing is?  Instead of waiting for the next shoe to drop, you should be enjoying this time, breathing in and letting the calm wash over you as you take pleasure in the moment. The future will take care of itself, don’t let your worries block your view of what you have to cherish and enjoy in the present.

Where am I seeking validation in my life?

Le Mystère Amoureux – Self care is not something that you can be given by others, it’s something you have to do for yourself.  Validation won’t come from others, no matter how much you want it to.  It is within that you need to find what you seek, and that includes the motivation to actually do the things that tend to your well being rather than allowing distractions to pull you from the love you need to receive… from yourself.

Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

L’Amour Cosmique -Step away from mental rigidity and allow fluidity, curiosity, and adaptation to take the wheel. Struggles and turbulence are an opportunity to show how well you can bounce back from a stumble.  Don’t allow these distractions to pull you off course of your chosen path towards the person you want to become and where you want to go in your life.
