So, I’m thinking maybe I need a little bit of accountability on my Self Care Saturday spread. For the next month, I’m going to try adding it here, as although I’m doing the spread and reading it in the moment, I find that my motivation to write it down seems to be a bit lacking. I’m hoping that by adding it here that possibly I will be able to get myself motivated into writing it down rather than just reading the spread in the moment and moving on.
These readings are (not usually) bearing down onto 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 not meant as a predictive reading.
The question is… What do I need to focus on in the week ahead? (Boring, I know, but helpful in pointing out where I might not realize I am neglecting or not realizing needs my attention.)
Body – Page of Wands – Be sure to approach caring for your body’s needs this week with a spirited and youthful mindset that is open to learning new methods and taking in new ideas.
Mind – Knight of Swords & The Death Card – Being aggressive in one’s thoughts and their expression will lead to endings and change that has perhaps been building for some time.
Emotions – Seven of Wands – Be willing to take some risks with your feelings and emotions. Just be sure (and careful) of what comes out of your mouth and take the repercussions of speaking your mind into account first (see Mind).
Inner Spark – Two of Cups – One on one collaborations will feed the soul this week and keep the inner spark kindled and burning bright.
Moving Away From – Sedum / Discomfort – Testing limits and learning tolerance. Last week I had a bit of an issue with tolerance where the helper was concerned. Working through that may show to have created lasting change in how I see things and set in place good (new) methods to use again in the future.
Heading Towards – Cardinal / Authenticity & Aloe / Restore – By embracing my unique qualities and characteristics, I will be able to both foster my own store of energies, be refreshed from within, as well as better seated within my own skin.
Decks Used: Luminous Void Tarot, Flora Healing Cards
Today’s draw is the Four of Swords, which is a representation on the theme of rest, respite, stability, shelter, and ease in the areas of the mind and thought, reason and logic, communication, and action.
You cannot offer what you don’t have. If your cup is empty, how can you offer it to another to drink? If my inner stores are empty, then I have less to offer to not just others, but my own goals and endeavors.
