Pause to Reflect… Then Keep Going

Today’s meditation was skipped, again in deference for sleep.  Blissful, wonderful sleep.

Tarot de Maria Celia and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Four of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of apathy and disconnecting from those trying to help, and can also indicate meditation, or a need to step back emotionally and reevaluate.

This card has stability to it, and retreat here is often centered around trying to find balance or shore up one’s emotional foundation.

Combined with the Thera-Pets card for today, what we see here is that it’s okay to take those moments now and then when they’re needed. Just don’t let what’s meant to be a pause to recoup turn into giving up and quitting.

Ouisi Game Cards and The Tarot of LokaWhat loving lesson can I take from August?
Queen of Air and Top Left cards

It’s okay to allow your emotions to intermingle with the logic. It assists you in communicating them more clearly instead of bottling them up until they eventually overflow in an unintelligible mess.

A blessing from the cards for September.
Four of Flame atop Two of Flame, Bottom Right Cards

Take September to untangle the knots and find calm and stability. You don’t have to start moving forward yet but you do need to start making plans. Enjoy the peace and stability you have at home for just a little while longer, and use it to work out any kinks and calm any frayed edges.

Lighting the Way Oracle and Tarot de Maria CeliaWhat lesson am I meant to learn in this lifetime?
Crystal Ball atop Direction, Four of Swords

Taking your time to rest and reflect on your experiences will not get in the way of moving in the direction you need to go in. Just use your intuition to guide you, stay open to messages from your guides, and the rest will take care of itself.

What fear do you want me to release?
The Crow atop Cupid, Ace of Cups

There’s nothing in this world or the next that can take away the love of Gideon feels for you. Your soul is connected to his through one lifetime to the next, and I love you share remains perpetually fresh and endless.

I spent the evening with Gideon.  And I refused a request someone had for me to write a testimonial to their reading skills. I was worried my refusal wouldn’t go over well, but… I just didn’t feel comfortable doing it. It’s still to be seen if it ends up being an issue.

Taking Time to Look Deeper

Today’s meditation was skipped.  No excuses, I just didn’t do it.  I can’t even remember why.  It just didn’t happen.

Impressionists Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Four of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of taking a step back for a moment of thought and meditation, being obvious to the world around you, and in some cases, refusing help from others when it is offered.

Have you ever lain down in the grass, your face so close that you can see between the blades of green to the rich soil below?  Have you ever settled and taken a deep breath, and just watched in this space where the world is so different than our own with grass tips rustling lightly in a breeze and little bugs scourging among earthy soil?

Sometimes, taking a moment doesn’t mean soul searching or focusing on a break and recovery.  Sometimes it means allowing yourself to look beyond the big picture, to all the small and peaceful little pictures that make up the big picture.  All the little ignored worlds that are a part of a whole that we take for granted.

The message in today’s cards is to take time and look at those small worlds, spend time with the little things, and let them nourish your soul and replenish what stress and the distractions of the big picture sap away from you.

Questions for August 8th

Ouisi Game Cards and Wild Spirit TarotWhat message does The Emperor have for me?
Library Stacks and Six of Wands

Research will give you stronger chance of success and accomplishing what you set out to do. Don’t skip that time spent digging out information and exploring things in depth. Rabbit holes can be wonderful tools.

What obstacles does The Emperor want to warn me about?
Ace of Swords atop Eight of Swords, Key and Pins

Take your time learning new things and keep an open mind. Sometimes things don’t look as they seem, and the book work alone may help, but won’t get you there. You’ll then have to fit the pieces together by feel.

What Guidance does The Emperor have for me to overcome this obstacle?
Pyrex Bowls, Toasted Marshmallow Creme, Corroded Hooks
Ten of Wands Rx atop Nine of Wands

Things aren’t always as they seem. Make sure that you’re not overwhelming yourself by creating healthy boundaries. Sometimes the simplest things end up complicated, so make sure when you are considering taking on something new that you’ve looked beyond the surface to what it may actually fully entail.

Impressionists TarotReading Summary: Note the yellow bow in color connection to the sunflower.

You’ve been taking things slow which is a good idea, even if it means you don’t get to everything you want to right this minute. Now is not the time. Starting now will just lead to disappointment and frustration with the entire process.

The sky in the Nine of Cups is a match with that of the Knight of Pentacles, connecting the past to the present. Slow progress connecting with summertime satisfaction in the future.

Wait until next summer when you are feeling comfortable and emotionally stable, satiated and at a place where you are able to handle the stress and setbacks that may come with the process.

Take Away: This message is a reinforcement of what was said to me in my self care Saturday reading this weekend.  Now is not the time. Wait until later.  Wait until next year.  YES, things might get a bit disorganized and crowded between now and then, but starting it now isn’t a good idea.  Just wait.

I’m having a hard time remembering what went on this day. I had a bit of a mood slump and I think that I might have lost a little time during it.   I just… can’t remember.
