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 Wicked Moon Tarot and ScandiNight Lenormand

Earth – Nine of Pentacles – Celebrate your accomplishments. This is a time of harvest, and you should be paying attention to what you have brought in and how to preserve it through the winter months. Remember that this includes practices of gratitude and enjoying the fruits of your laborers.

Air – Seven of Cups Rx – Don’t worry so much about making choices right now. Just go with the flow and observe. Sometimes the right answers will land in your lap if you just give them time to sort themselves out.

Water – The Magician Rx – Remember that you don’t have to be in control all the time, and this is especially true with concern to your emotions. Sometimes they swirl in their own direction, and you’re just left to ride it out instead of trying to fix it.

Fire – Nine of Swords – Mistakes are a part of the process when you’re learning something new. Make sure that you’re not being too hard on yourself or falling into “end of the world” thought patterns in these moments.

Waning – Fox and Fish – Don’t go along with it just because you think it’s clever. I’m not sure what this is in reference to at the moment, but it looks like some kind of “get rich quick” scheme that you need to avoid when it comes up. Keep your distance and don’t buy into the hype.

Waxing – Cross and Scythe – Take care this week to make choices that will cut down on your feelings of being burdened.

Take Away – This week is going to challenge your need for control, and if you take care with your actions, may help you in learning to let go and go with the flow more, instead of trying to steer everything with an iron grip.  Work on connecting with a mindset of gratitude and setting fears of scarcity aside will help with this.   Don’t go adding more to your plate right now. You have enough responsibilities and obligations to contend with at the moment.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Visions of Life Tarot and Story Time Lenormand

Earth – Seven of Swords – Take extra care to not be too naïve this week. Validate all information that comes your way rather than just believing it out of hand. This includes listening to those that you would normally trust with providing you with information. You need to ground all incoming info with solid fact. This added foundation is necessary for you this week.

Air – The Hierophant – Think first before you act as expected. Following the party line can be okay sometimes if it goes with your own goals and values. More often than not, though, being a sheep to expectations means sacrificing these things. Don’t sacrifice your values and goals just to be part of the herd.

Water – Knight of Pentacles – Make sure you are moving slow on your wants and desires this week or you may find yourself jumping the gun. Although not necessarily detrimental, it will definitely be awkward if you do.

Fire – Four of Wands – Take time to appreciate just how happy you are with what you have in your life at this time. Appreciate these moments in life when you can say that you’re truly happy with your lot.

Waning – Bouquet and Birds – Gossip is not your friend this week, no matter how lovely it may seem or what good news it may be trying to present you with. As mentioned in the Earth position of this reading, make sure you are validating anything and everything before getting excited or taking action.

Waxing – Fish and Tree – Focus on your physical health and making choices that bolster you physically. Give yourself the gift of abundance and good health.

Take Away –  Fill your pill box, and stay on top of those things that foster your mobility.  Take care to validate all news with facts, whether it’s good news or bad news. Think for yourself instead of allowing others to take the lead, and prioritize what’s important to you over the expectations that others may have for you.     And… take your time.  Don’t rush.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Wonderland Adventure Tarot and Haunted Wonderland Lenormand

Earth – Six of Pentacles – Make sure you are focusing on being generous this week. Generous to yourself. Generous to others as well. Give people the benefit of the doubt, and be kind to yourself.

Air – Ten of Wands – Ambition is a healthy thing until you get too far in and become overloaded. Make sure that your thoughts and actions, plans, and strategizing all allow you for time to rest. If you overwhelm yourself, it’s going to force you to rest anyway, so make sure that you give yourself the space to do it on your own before you’re forced into it at a more inconvenient time.

Water – Ace of Swords – Don’t get so much in your head that it starts to screw with your emotions. This also reflects back to the Ten of Wands in the Air position, in that if you are too much in your head, you will also quickly become overwhelmed. New ideas are great, but give yourself a break by writing them down instead of jumping on them right away.

Fire – Death – Changes are coming with your business yet again. You saw a preview of what might be to come just last night, which is giving you the heads up to prepare for what’s coming. Don’t ignore it. Instead face it head on.

Waning – Child and Clover – The faith that everything is going to turn out great has its place, but right now what you need is empowerment, not faith. This week is not the time to just sit back and hope everything works itself out.

Waxing – Lady and House – Mind your heart at home this week and cherish the time you have there. Take this time to put things in order to suit you and your comfort zone.

Take Away – It sounds like you’re going to have some pretty great new ideas this week. Too many of them to act on all of them at once, definitely. So make sure you’re writing everything down to act on later, which will allow you to be kind to yourself by giving yourself more space and time.

That space is going to allow you room for changes, as well. Because when you get too many things going at the same time, your “wiggle room” diminishes and you’re less able to pivot when you need to.

Self Care Saturday Tarot reading with the Grim Tarock and Wicked Tales Lenormand

Earth – The Fool – Give yourself permission to fuck off a bit this week. Not everything has to be so serious all the time.

Air – Queen of Chaos – Often, other people see chaos while you see opportunity. Instead of keeping this perspective to yourself, help them see the opportunities as well.

Water – Ace of Cups – New emotions don’t have to be scary. They can also be an opportunity for growth, if you’re willing to sit with them for a bit.

Fire – Ace of Wands – Make sure that you’re watching for those opportunities in chaos, instead of discarding them out of hand. There’s more there on offer than you might see at first glance.

Waning – Ship and Fox – Instead of trying to direct the boat, just go along for the ride. Nothing you do at this time is going to manipulate a better outcome or result.

Waxing – Clouds and Book – Don’t be lazy. If you don’t know something, do the research. It’ll be worth the dig.

Take Away – Be proactive in showing others the opportunities that they are missing, as you go along for the ride this week.  Don’t try to push anything one way or another. There’s no need to be stubborn or to be in control this week. Instead, use this week to observe and have a little fun.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Happy Halloween Tarot and Silver Acorn Lenormand

Earth – Knight of Pentacles – Don’t forget to move slow. Just because things are moving again with your business doesn’t mean that they’re going to move fast. Don’t push, and let things move at their own pace. As long as you’re moving, all is well.

Air – Ace of Wands Rx – As mentioned the other day in a different reading you did, too many good ideas at the same time as a bad idea. Make sure that you prioritize well and write down what you decide to put on the back burner so that you can return to them later.

Water – Two of Swords – Sometimes the emotions that you feel are a choice rather than out of your control. Maybe it’s time to examine which are which, so that you can get a better handle on those that you’re choosing, opposed to those you aren’t.  There’s a potential for a bit of control here, if you’re willing to look closely.

Fire – Page of Swords – Take care to stay on top of those things that help your ambitions move forward, just make sure you’re not going overboard. Remember that you’re still in the learning stages at the moment.

Waning – Crossroads and Mountain – Stop dithering over how to deal with your obstacles. Lingering in indecision isn’t good for you this week.  Be decisive instead.

Waxing – Stork and Scythe – Before things can grow in a healthy direction and give you the harvest you’re looking for, you have to put everything in its place.

Take Away – Get organized and write things down. Make plans and write things down. Explore… and write things down.  Everything gets sorted out better when things are written down, and it has the added benefit of allowing you to explore more in depth as well.  Focus on the stuff you’re dealing with now, write down the rest.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Daydream Tarot and The Ghastly Lenormand From the Grave

Earth – Queen of Pentacles atop Page of Pentacles Rx – Remember that you’re not so much the novice as you feel that you are in this moment. It may feel like you’re starting over, but you have a lot of knowledge under your belt that you wouldn’t have if you were starting from scratch.

Air – Wheel of Fortune – Try to keep in mind that the ups and down of fate have nothing to do with you or your performance. Sometimes it’s just how things fall into place, and other times it’s creating a step forward that you need in order to make a different step later. This means that when shit goes awry, it’s not always your fault, nor has anything to do with you other than you are along for the ride.

Water – The Devil – You’re emotions may drive you towards temptations and bad habits this week. Make sure that you’re keeping an eye on things so that you don’t fall into bad habits that could be harmful and cause problems later down the line.

Fire – Knight of Wands – Burn that torch bright. This week gives you an opportunity to act instead of sitting back on your laurels and waiting. Seize that opportunity when it presents itself, and run with it.

Waning – Tree and Ring – Veer away from making commitments that you can’t keep. That push to get in to see the doctor? The answer is “I’ll try”, not “I will”. Carry that forward into anything that has to do with putting down commitments that you may not be able to keep this week.

Waxing – Tower and Key – Focus instead on trying to spot incoming trouble before it can slip in and start causing problems.

Take Away – Finally!  Movement.  It might be a bit of a slip and slide situation, but movement is something there hasn’t been a lot of in the past month and here you see the ability to start moving again.  Get back in the saddle and start looking for opportunities to improve your situation. Just make sure you’re not committing to anything this week that you can’t later back out of.

Septarian Stone for Physical and Mental Healing
