Full Moon in Leo Lenormand Reading with the 1889 Lenormand Oracle

How am I being asked to step into my power?

Stars and Anchor – You can be strong and hopeful. That grounding energy that is so much a part of who you are doesn’t require you to be so serious and solemn all the time.  Hope is its own strength, and although it feels like a weakness and a vulnerability sometimes, its persistence can also be a grounding power in your life all on its own if you are willing to lean into it instead of pushing it away.

What limiting beliefs must I shed in order for this to happen?

Child and Sun – You can have fun and still be responsible.  You can allow yourself to let that inner child you spend so much time smothering have a little air, and it will make life all the better for it. You may struggle a bit to view the world through the eyes of innocence, but a bit of hope and positivity can go a long way towards lifting your spirits if you let it.

How can I show up as my most authentic self?

Man and Ring – Stick to the commitments you have set for yourself. Being dependable is one of the traits that you take the most pride in.  Not because it makes you predictable, but because it makes you someone that others can come to and trust.

How can I strengthen my resolve and activate my creativity?

Tree and Moon – Stay focused upon your emotional health right now and use your creativity to help keep you from sinking into the depression that’s trying to creep up in the shadows. In leaning into your creativity and enjoying it, it will “activate” and grow… and pull your emotional well-being up to a better place along with it.

Imbolc Lenormand Reading with the Carta Mundi Lenormand

To be left in the dark.

Book and Moon – Interesting that these are the exact same two cards that were handed to me as being what to focus on this week in my self-care Saturday reading… inverted. Here you are being told that focusing too hard on your mental health issues could be a problem.

What will the light bring?

Rider and Sun – There is a need to lean into optimism and positivity more deeply, and in doing so it will perpetuate itself. Just like a smile is contagious, so too can that positivity and optimism spread to other parts of your life and permeate them if you make an effort to allow it to do so.

Intention needed for my body.

Cross and Anchor – Make sure that you are doing the practices that you know help you in grounding your chronic pain issues. Physiotherapy. Yoga. Meditation, and the extra stretching. Treating the scars with emollients. All of it is a part of the process that keeps your pain under control.

Intentions needed for my Spirit.

Broom and Ring –  Don’t punish yourself for breaking obligations that are no longer working for you. Just end of them and move on.

Healing advice.

Garden and Birds – Spend more time with others. It’s good for you right now.

Finding Rest Cartomancy Reading

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

The prompt for this reading came from one of my Discord servers and is as follows: “Let’s ask our divination tool of choice how we can better find rest in our lives, what we need a break from, and how we can get more of the downtime we need!“

Standarte 1815 Playing CardsWhat do I need a break from?

King of Hearts and Ten of Spades – Subdrop. Mini-death-and-rebirth moments of misery that lie at Gideon’s feet. There’s been a bit of a struggle with this lately and avoidance because of it. Maybe it’s time to try something new for a bit rather than going onward with the same.

How can I better find rest in my life?

Ace of Spades and Queen of Diamonds – Communicate your needs clearly and allow others to help in fulfilling them. You don’t have to deal with everything all on your own all the time.  Let others assist you in finding the answers you need.

How can I get more of the down time I need?

Eight of Hearts and Four of Diamonds – Put down “want to” efforts and focus on only the “need to” things on your list for a while. Pressuring yourself into doing more just because you can doesn’t make it good or healthy for you.

How can I get the most benefit out of my down time?

Nine of Spades atop Two of Diamonds – Do not allow your worries and anxieties to drive you into unbalanced behaviors.

Don’t Wanna Know Lenormand Reading

Blue Night Lenormand

Something you left behind.

Lily and Coffin – You have made peace with your loss of the loved one that passed recently. There was some guilt over your atypical grieving process and how others might perceive it, but you processed through it well and have moved past it.

Something you’re doing now.

Mice and Bear – Undermining authority figures is not usually your style, but desperate times call for desperate measures. There’s a good chance this isn’t going to turn out how you want, but no one can fault you for trying.

How you’re living honestly.

Broom and Stork – You are willing to look at those things you don’t like about yourself and work on them.  This process requires an acceptance of your flaws, for only when you can accept that there’s a problem can you begin the long process of transformation and healing.

A Helping Hand Lenormand Reading with The Twilight Canticle Lenormand

Where to Find Focus

Whip and Stars – Stay single minded in your determination to lean into positive, thinking, and optimism. You need this in order to counteract the pessimism and negative inner narratives that come so naturally to you.

Challenge to Come

Lady and Heart – A woman in your life that you hold near and dear may become a bit challenging in the weeks in months ahead.

Encouragement

Fish and Crossroads – Go with the flow and let it take you where it needs to go. Don’t fight against the current because you want to choose a different direction. Sometimes choosing where you want to go in a situation isn’t an option.
