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 Feng Shui Tarot and Earth Lenormand Romulus & Remus Edition

Earth – Seven of Cups – “One situation improves another.” – Guidebook

Our situations in life are created by the building blocks we use to get there where we’re going. Each time you make a choice, it influences your life and all of the things in your life, as well as your trajectory forward into the future. Make sure this week that you are making choices that align with the direction you want to go in.

Air – Knight of Cups – Sometimes it’s not enough to know which direction you want to go in. You actually have to take action to get there. Just make sure that those actions you choose are well thought out and strategic; not reactionary or rash.

Water – Five of Wands atop Knight of Swords – Take care to temper your “get up and go” this week. Although stagnancy is not your friend, you need to make sure that you’re discussing your plans and ideas with others and getting their input before you move forward. This week is not a “do it now and tell them about it later” type a week, so try to avoid that mentality.

Fire – King of Swords – A good leader listens to those that they lead. Strategy is a big part of your path this week, but part a of strategy involves listening to others and weighing in their ideas along side your own. Make sure that you are actually listening, and not just “hearing” them.

Waning – Mice and Whip – Negative thoughts are corrosive and unhealthy. Make sure that you’re whipping your self into shape where this is concerned instead of sinking into those negative narratives going on in your head. They might feel familiar and familiar, but they’re poisoning the well.

Waxing – Ship and Rider – Participate in the world instead of holding yourself apart from it. Make sure that you’re paying attention to the direction you’re going in with the choices you’re able to make for yourself; for even while your current path is being forced upon you, the unexpected can still rear up and land in your lap.

Take Away – Your emotions have you in a state where acting without thought or through emotion alone is very much your first instinct. Take care not to rush or make snap decisions this week, though, no matter how much you are tempted to do so.  Move with caution and care, and think things out including sharing them with others for their input, before taking any actions.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Baddeley Tarot and Shamankae Lenormand

Earth – The Star – “Hope melts the snow of your despair so you can climb towards wholeness.” – Guidebook

Use this time to reconnect with your true self and the direction in which you want your life to go. Instill hope into your process of rebuilding, in order to create something that is aligned with your true self and soul.

Air – Nine of Batons atop Ace of Cups – Listen to your intuition and take care concerning who you offer your love to and caring to this week. If it feels right, it’s right and you can move forward with confidence. If your intuition and instincts feel something is wrong, take care to hold back on providing that emotional support or connection.

Water – The Hermit – Remember that needing time alone is healthy, as long as you are partaking in it in a healthy manner. By the same turn, taking some time for self exploration and soul searching is also healthy, as long as you aren’t focusing solely on negative aspects and perspectives.

Fire – Page of Cups atop The Moon – You can’t help others unless you’re willing to help yourself. Listen to your intuition as you navigate these uncertain times, and get yourself out in nature for some much needed exercise. Everything will feel clearer once fresh air has had a chance to clear your head and nature has had an opportunity to soothe your emotions.

Waning – Dog and Fox – Some people think they’re soooo clever, and that your emotional connection to them and loyalty will help you turn a blind eye to their bad actions and behaviors. Make sure you aren’t doing that this week. Now is not the time for ignoring such things.

Waxing – Book and Child – Accept that at this time, you know nothing. It’s okay to be rudderless and blind at the moment.  Instead of twisting in the wind, sink into the understanding that you are “waiting for class to start” and prepare in the ways you can so you can absorb new knowledge quickly and easily once that new information is available to you.

Take Away – There are other things you can be doing instead of chafing under what you can’t do and don’t know.  Instead of focusing on the unknown, work on getting the healthy alone time and self-reflection you need, the self-care you’ve been neglecting, and necessary preparations done.  Also, be sure to keep an eye out for someone trying to use your loyalty and good nature to manipulate you.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Echoes Through Time Tarot and Woodcut Lenormand

Earth – Ten of Cups atop Eight of Pentacles Rx – You’re fixating on the cash. Remember that “they” are not taking away everything you’ve learned and accomplished. They’re just taking away your money. You can make more money, and you can find happiness that doesn’t so heavily depend on money.  Your happiness may be tied into your sense of stability and security, but those things also involve far more than just money.

Air – Wheel of Fortune atop Queen of Swords – Stay sharp. The wheel of uncertainty is going to slow down eventually, and you’re going to want your wits about you when it does.

Water – Four of Cups – Your regular meditation practice is helping, even if it doesn’t really feel like it. Keep it up.  Don’t worry so much about the extra sleep you’re getting, either.  It’s good for you, and you should enjoy it while you have the chance.

Fire – King of Swords Rx – Keep your mouth shut and your ears open. You know nothing.

Waning – Heart and Fox – There’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing within your midst. Watch for the one that is trying to use your emotions to manipulate you, and distance yourself from them for the time being.

Waxing – Moon and Star – Your uncertainty during this time or understandable, just don’t allow yourself to give into the fear. Your emotional turmoil is going to need a healthy dose of optimism this week.

Take Away – No light at the end of the tunnel yet.  While you wait, make sure you pay attention to the people around you and what they’re doing, especially if you’re feeling emotional  nudges and niggles going on when around them.  Continue to pay attention to the sources you’ve been monitoring while you wait for a solution to present itself.  Keep working on that optimism and positivity… it’s working, even if you can’t see it.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the First Aid for Broken Hearts Tarot and Terra Lenormand

Earth – Three of Cups atop Page of Cups – Friends help with your emotional stability. Make sure that you’re leaning on them as you learn about your emotions and how to react. They are the ones who will understand where you’re coming from when you’re struggling, as well as provide the support and encouragement you need to keep going.

Air – Seven of Pentacles – Don’t let your negative inner narratives tell you that you’re not doing enough, or are unworthy of good things. Those good things may take a while to come to you, or it may be that your eyes are closed and you’re not appreciating the ones that are already there, but you are absolutely worthy of them.

Water – Six of Pentacles Rx – Allow yourself to be greedy this week and depend on the generosity of others for them to understand that sometimes you just have to do it that way for your own emotional well-being. You just can’t put everyone else first all the time. It’s not emotionally healthy for you.

Fire – Death – Just stand there and watch the changes concerning your business happen this week instead of trying to adjust with them or direct them in some way. It’s okay to be an observer and wait until it’s time to rebuild, instead of struggling to try and mitigate the changes as they are happening in the moment.

Waning – Anchor and Clouds – Anchoring yourself in the current shit storm means stepping away instead of hunkering down. Don’t dwell over much on the changes happening and what’s going on, just stand back and watch the show from the safe distance you have created.

Waxing – Bouquet and Whip – You aren’t a pushover by any stretch of the imagination, but you may want to try and file down those claws and fangs a bit this week.  The stress could make your usually congenial nature grow a few unnecessary sharp edges.

Take Away – You’re still in the grip of the waiting game, and it’s causing some emotional struggle within you.  Allow others to help you work through those feelings instead of bottling them up and letting them turn your outlook negative or aggressive.  Focus on taking care of yourself this week, and invite others to help in that endeavor.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Solar Kingdom Tarot and Akashic Eye Lenormand

Earth – Page of Wands – Stay on top of what’s important to you. Each new bit of information gathered now will help foster the stability you’re aiming for in the future.

Air – The World atop Five of Swords – You’re nearing the end of a long journey. Take care not to let yourself feel defeated or let your inner narrative tell you that you are. You’re actually winning, even if it might not feel like it at the moment.

Water – King of Wands atop Five of Pentacles Rx – As mentioned above, remember that you are not losing, even if it feels like you are. You just have to go through a tub spot in order to come out on top on the other side. Negative narratives are not going to do you any good, and neither is listening to them instead of shutting them down when they try to tell you that you’re fucking up.

Fire – The Hierophant Rx – Don’t follow the same old patterns and path this week when it comes to your obstacles. Think and act outside the box. Just because it isn’t your normal, doesn’t mean it won’t work.

Waning – Mountain and Tree – Your health will suffer if you can’t step away from your obstacles and let them run their course. Sometimes you’re just not in the right place to climb that mountain and need a little extra time before you take on the next hurdle.

Waxing – Fish and Woman – Make sure that you are communicating openly with Z during the next week. There’s going to be a lot of information sharing needed to make sure your shared endeavours remain successful.

Take Away – Its not surprising that your focus is on your business right now with everything that’s going on in that area.  Make sure you are staying on top of the information gathering and don’t allow moments of struggle and disappointment shift your perspective into a negative space.  Old habits in that area are harmful to you now, and you need to be striving for a new approach instead.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with Inquiry An MXTX Tarot and Buzzing Mosquito Lenormand

Earth – The Tower – Go with the flow. Things are changing fast, and you need to be on your toes. Don’t fight back and resist, just let things topple as they will and you can organize the pieces once the dust settles.

Air – Ten of Pentacles – Keep your inner narratives positive. The end result of all this upset could be way better than what came before. You don’t know, and can’t know until it’s all said and done.

Water – Two of Cups – Lean on others to help support you emotionally during the mess of this upset. You don’t react well emotionally to chaos and change. Those closest to you have the capacity to lift you up when everything becomes too heavy.

Fire – Three of Pentacles Rx – This week (and this ordeal, for that matter) just isn’t going to be any fun. Not for anybody, actually. And that’s okay.

Waning – Dog and Ring – Don’t make any promises this week. No matter how good your intentions.

Waxing – Cross and Birds – Social obligations are going to be a necessary burden this week.

Note: All of the Lenormand cards are facing inward toward the other cards in the reading except the Cross. – Use your social obligations to assist you in distraction from the chaos.

Take Away – The chaos going on in your life doesn’t yet have an end in sight.  Use this week to find ways to adjust to the mess and stress, and use your loved ones and social obligations to help you work your way through instead of getting stuck in a pattern of resistance.
