Take Your Time

Today’s meditation was skipped (I think).  I’m not entirely sure if I did it today or not, but I’m going to take it for granted that I probably skipped it since that’s the pattern.

Etruscan Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Judgement card, which is traditionally a representation of looking back on one’s life to reflect on what one has done with it.  This time of reflection is about the span of one’s life instead of any one particular incident.

Here in the imagery of this particular card, we see a man who is not reflecting on his past willingly, but is being forced to confront his past, the history he has created for himself, and what this has perpetuated over time.

The combination of this card with the “Smile, Breathe, and Go Slowly” quote on the affirmation card for today is a reminder that life is not a race, and when you rush you miss out on opportunities you would otherwise see coming. Opportunities to have a positive impact on the world, to enjoy life more, and to look back at the end of your life with  more satisfaction instead of regrets.

Questions for August 19th and 20th

BuzzFeed Oracle and Richie Rich TarotHow is my current space serving me in terms of where I want to be?

My current space is providing a more aggressive energy (Shark) for me to work with, to the point of setting aside grace for results (Giraffe).

(The Eight of Wands is an accelerant in this reading, feeding into that aggressive energy.)

This is about the upcoming holiday rush that is just around the corner and how what I do now influences how I will approach that season.

Essentially, I’m not getting prep work done and it’s going to cause a need for speed and aggression in order to keep up.

What can I do, shift, or alter to be in the best space for my goals?

Begin shifting your focus (Eclipse) off of the stuff that makes you feel good (The Devil), and onto what will be needed to make the holiday season go more smoothly (Lake).

This isn’t meant to be a fast switch, but it’s time to start the process of looking at what needs to be prepared. Sort of a prep for the upcoming prep period.

Questions for August 19th and 20th

Journey to the Heart Oracle and Etruscan TarotUse Care – Pure Delight and Knight of Pentacles – Take care not to count your chickens before their hatched. There are too many ruts in the road to know how things will turn out yet.

Be Carefree – Pure Voice and The Fool – Be open and carefree in expressing yourself and going after these things you wish to enjoy. Instead of looking forward, focus on enjoying the present whenever the opportunity to do so is offered.

What joy in my life needs more recognition?
Bravery and Knave of Chalices

You need to recognize how very open and courageous you are being in exploring and learning about your emotions. Walking a new path with them can be scary, but you need to look beyond the fear and acknowledge the boons this journey and growth are offering.

Finding Light In the Darkness

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped cuz I overslept this morning and it was one of those “go go go” days from the time I finally managed to get up.

The Feline Marseilles Tarot and How to Be a Wildflower DeckToday’s draw is the Five of Coins, which is traditionally a representation of hardships, tests, trials, and scarcity in the areas of one’s finances, resources, health, home life, and the physical world and manifestations.

There is a certain type of person that I really admire.  They are extremely rare, but you find them now and then.  Those people that are able to be filled with hope and cheer, no matter their circumstances. When I was in chemotherapy, there was a patient I saw now and then when I went in for my treatments that was like this.  She was battling breast cancer, and she always looked frail and fragile, and horribly ill.  And yet, even knowing that she had to be in so much pain and feeling miserably physically?  She always was cheerful and kind. Positive.  Sweet to the nurses and full of hope.

She was… amazing.  Breathtaking.  And the lesson that this woman taught me about leaning into the good and cherishing what you have is something that I think these cards are encouraging today.  The Five of Coins speaks of disparity, and yet even there are things to cherish during these times.  Things to enjoy.  Things to be grateful for.  When you’re feeling downtrodden and like life is at your worst, these cards are a reminder to seek out those things and cherish them.  Allow them to be a light in the darkness.

Questions for August 4th thru 6th

Richie Rich TarotWhat loving energy is here to support me this month?

Two of Pentacles – You have the support you need in order to help you find balance and keep it in check. Allow them to help you avoid diving into anything that will take away your attention from this time when you’re supposed to be resting and enjoying yourself.

What can I do to manifest a good month?

The Hermit – Make sure you’re going out and doing those alone time things that you love so much. Get out in nature and enjoy it. You need this time in order to stay happy and balanced.

What can keep in mind to manifest a good month?

Page of Pentacles – Remember that now is a time of discovery, and you’re learning new things. Sometimes these things take time, and it’s okay to go slow instead of just plowing in headlong.

Something I should try to enjoy or appreciate today.

Ten of Pentacles – Set aside worries and stressors when you go out to dinner with Z and L tonight. Instead, savor the togetherness and enjoy that you’re able to do this with each other.

Philosophical Question: Are you more of a dreamer or a believer?

The Feline Marseilles TarotReading Summary: There is a dreamer in the fish that is present in the Six of Cups, a solid believer in the groundedness of the Ten of Pentacles, whereas the Four of Swords speaks of rest and a balance between both.

Take Away: There is no choice to be made here, and no imbalance… I am both. Evenly and easily both.

L and I took Z out to dinner at the Olive Garden today.  I ate SO MUCH food.  It was so good.  Hands down the best meal I’ve ever had at Olive Garden. I had the Asiago Stuffed Tortellini Alfredo with Grilled Chicken.  It was… so good.
