Self Care Saturday

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Tarot of the Hidden Realm and Oracle of the Seelie & Unseelie Fae

Earth – Shadowdance and Mermaid – Your current emotional state (water creature) makes you weak to giving in and overindulging. Take care of that you don’t drown yourself in your temptations and addictions this week.

Air – The Hierophant and Selkie – Get in a session with your shrink this week if you can, and make sure that you are utilizing tried and tested methods this week in caring for your mental health.

Water – Ace of Pentacles Rx and Chiastolite Fairy Cross – Settle in instead of looking for new opportunities this week. Emotionally, you are in need of stability and comfort, not the imbalance and possible chaos of trying to turn against the current tide.

Fire – Page of Swords and Robin Goodfellow – Use your faith and spiritual path to help you cut your way through the darkness. Staying open to the spiritual side of things will keep you from

Waning – Lily and Anchor – Just because he says that you need to avoid subdrop doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Don’t push for the sexual side of things and just allow things to be calm and steady instead for now. Remember your relationship is far deeper than the sex.

Waxing – Stork and Cross – Focus on working your way through the slump that is going on rather than resting your way through it or lollygagging. There are things you could be doing, hard work you could be accomplishing. Get to the busy work.

Note, this is not in contrast to the reading in the water position, for it is not saying “work at changing things” but rather just work at getting things done that need done, and would need done whether or not you were in a slump.

Take Away – You are emotionally vulnerable right now and need to avoid things that can further imbalances in your life.  Use work and the tried and true methods that you’ve discovered work for you to help you in finding a greater sense of stability, and your faith to assist you in believing in the light at the end of the tunnel.

Remembering the Sweet Fool Tarot - Six of Cups, Queen of Hills, Queen of Pentacles, Sun, Four of Cups - and RootWeaver's Vintage Lenormand

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Earth – Queen of Hills – Focus on fostering your stability this week. Save instead of spend. Meditate instead of worry. Give yourself what you need for a better sense of security and stability.

Air – Six of Cups – Continue to consider those things you have done in the past and carry forward those that have served you well before and can be repeated. Make sure when you do so that you keep your sights on the positive. Don’t get lost in the dark.

Water – The Sun – Continue to hold space for fun and optimistic thinking. This is an echo of the “don’t get lost in the dark” mentioned in the previous card. It’s important to continue to counterbalance those negative tendencies of yours so they don’t get out of hand.

Fire – Nine of Cups Rx – Don’t settle for this lull in your business being the new norm. Remember, that things will get better, you just have to keep working at it and not give up hope.

Waning – Snake and Star – Stop allowing your negative inner whispers corrupt your efforts towards positive thinking and optimism. That snake in the grass needs to be left behind so that hope and optimism can have a chance to shine through.

Waxing – Ring and Heart – Make a commitment to lean into being a kinder and more loving person, not just to others but to yourself as well.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with Indigo Adrift's Mystical Tarot and Pentagram's Wooden Lenormand Set

Earth – Ten of Wands Rx – Take care not to overload yourself on work or responsibilities. Remember that you have help and that you can take things one small thing at a time instead of doing everything at once.

Air – Page of Swords Rx – Take it easy this week. You can learn new things and explore new ideas later. Just take this week to rest instead of diving in headlong.

Water – August and Nine of Pentacles – Treat this week like it’s the slowest part of the year and take a break to appreciate all that you’ve done and how far you’ve come instead of trying to strive for more. You need to be focusing on rest this week mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Fire – Justice – If you ignore the warnings on this week’s reading and decide to charge forward, you will sacrifice with your creativity and spiritual practices. There are always consequences to the choices we make.

Waning – Coffin and Heart – You have put all your heart and soul into the holiday rush and, before that, caring for Ms B.  Now it is time for these things to draw to a close.  Release your heart from the ties that bind it to those things it has had to commit to over the past year.  Free your heart to begin seeking it’s own desires again.

Waxing – Crossroads and Mountain – Remember that advice from the other day about taking things one small step at a time? Here it is again.  A mountain is only a mountain when you look at its whole. If you take on the mountain one step at a time, it is no longer so intimidating.  Piecemeal out the things you need to do instead of trying to do them all at once.Take Away –

Self-Care Saturday Tarot Reading with Todd Alcott's Horror Tarot and House of Shadows Lenormand Samhain Edition

Earth – Eight of Wands – It’s time to start adding more physical activity back into your life. Even if it wears you out. Do it anyway. Building back your stamina is an important part or your recovery.

Air – The High Priestess – Instead of relying so heavily on logic, allow your intuition to hold sway this week. Not everything has to be reasoned out and strategized.

Water – King of Cups – Get as much time in with Gideon as you can manage right now. You both need it for your emotional well-being.

Fire – The Hanged Man – Enjoy the lull while you have it. A couple weeks from now, and you’ll be struggling to catching your breath, let alone able to enjoy any free time.

Waning – Ship and Dog – Doing things for (and going out of your way for) others needs to be avoided this week. Just say no.

Waxing – Candy Apple and Snake – Your tastebuds are coming back! Enjoy! But,watch out you don’t overindulge too much or your stomach will turn against you.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Any Means Necessary Tarot and Halloween Lenoracle Mini Deck

Earth – Ten of Cups – Do what makes you happy. Right now is a time to enjoy, not “buckle down”. Take this time to savor life and do the things you enjoy most. That means getting out and hiking and doing things. Don’t just wallow in being at home.

Air – The Star – Lean into positive thinking and hope. You’ve managed to catch that slide into depression’s pit and scramble back to the ledge. Don’t give up, there’s still a bit further to go to get out of the danger zone.

Water – Six of Swords – Leave behind what is no longer serving you. Drama, guilt, and negativity are now in your rear view. Stay ahead of them and don’t invite them back in.

Fire – Two of Wands – Taking action for your business is not meant to be a part of things this week. You can plot and plan for where you want to go, but hold off on diving into work and the business any more than necessary.

Waning – Witch and Scythe – Stick close to the “harm none” adage in your magical practices this week. Save the other stuff for later.

Waxing – Letter and Trick or Treat – Stay aware and careful not to be tricked by scams and hoaxes in the week ahead; especially those that arrive via email or snail mail.

Self-Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Diary of a Skeleton Tarot and Fantasma Oracle

Earth – Ace of Cups – Give yourself a chance to connect positively with your body. Give it some love this week and allow it a chance to be renewed. By doing so, you’ll find yourself happier with it in the long run.

Air – Six of Wands atop Knight of Wands – Keep an eye on that tendency to jump at the first indication that others need or want something from you this week. Ms B should be doing things herself now other than in a few very rare cases, and you stepping in to help is not going to help in progressing her mobility.

Water – Two of Swords – Make decisions that support your mental health. You need to prioritize yourself and your emotional well-being this week. Don’t allow yourself to turn a blind eye to your own needs in order to please someone else.

Fire – Two of Cups – You have the support of others to help you return to normal. Lean on them to help you find your footing. Also, make sure you take someone with you when you go hiking.

Waning – The Peeper and The Sun – You can stop living vicariously through others. As you settle back in at home and seek to find your equilibrium this week, begin stepping into your own life again instead of taking joy through others’ experiences.

Waxing – The Wizard and The Call – You are capable of finding balance, and have all the tools you need at your disposal to make it happen. The world and energy always seeks balance, and it will only take a bit of direction on your part to get things to settle back where they need to be.
