📆 Transitioning from June to July

The Spirit of Flowers Tarot and Essence Insights Oracle

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

The World and Passiflora – You are transitioning into a new way of life where burdens you struggled with before are prioritized differently or set behind. New ones might take their place, but it will be different this time around as you step through the doorway into a new sense of maturity.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Two of Wands and Lavandula – Stop depending on grace and luck to fill in the gaps where you slack on planning things out. Better to have a plan that needs adjustment along the way than no plan at all.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

The Fool and Digiplexis ‘Flame’ – At this time, it’s important to put some focus on finding more of the fun within yourself, and the ability to shake off caution and more easily throw yourself into that fun with enthusiasm.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Four of Wands and Borago officinalis – You are not stepping out of your comfort zone enough, and it is stunting your growth towards a more positive mindset. Remember that it’s through discomfort that we grow. Hiding where it’s safe and warm is not going to do it.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Six of Cups and Linum usitatissimum – Lean into your connections and those people that are close to you. Family, including your chosen family, is extremely valuable right now, as is connecting through  your mutual past experiences.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Queen of Wands and Prunella vulgaris – There have been times in the past where you have asked for needed help and your requests have been refused. Make sure that you aren’t allowing those past experiences to prevent you from getting the help that you need in the present.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Ten of Cups and Matricaria discoidea – Keep in mind that you can discard a lot and still be happy and fulfilled. Happiness and contentment is not dependent on things, nor on people that are not healthy for you. Sometimes shedding dead weight makes the whole world lighter and brighter.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Ten of Pentacles and Salvia rosmarinus – Take care that you are not focusing so hard upon your goals that you miss all the good stuff and happy memories that can be made right now in the present.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

The Sun and Rosa chinensis minima ‘Alex’ – Success is often accomplished in small measures and small steps. Don’t focus on the big picture, but instead break your goals down into smaller bite sized steps and you will find a greater return on your investment.

Message from the Spirit World – Right now your sense of security, happiness, and success depends on leaning into spending time with friends and family. Keep yourself on steady footing with long-time friends and those you trust.

Message from the Mind’s World – You are heading into a moment of transformation, and need to make sure that instead of focusing on the discomfort of change that you instead lean into infusing this time with fun, adventure, and enthusiasm. Make a conscious choice to be uplifting and see things from that adventurous perspective.

Message from the Physical World – Sometimes your very best healing is done from the comfort of home. Doing a bit of house cleaning can go a long way to finding comfortable contentment at home that’s been a bit lacking of late.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

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 Fauntabelle Tarot and Sparkly Lenormand

EarthKing of Cups Rx – A sense of instability is on the rise and is going to be disruptive to your emotional stability and strength. It may become difficult to connect emotionally with others this week, which will just further that disruption. Just do your best, as you need that connection for everything else in your life to feel secure and stable.

AirEight of Wands – Don’t let racing thoughts turn into anxiety. Instead, use exercise and other (preferably fun) energy burning methods to help keep things in hand.

WaterThe Emperor – Seize control this week when it comes to your emotions and be the leader among those close to you. Sitting back and letting things run their own course this week will only manifest unsatisfactory results.

FirePage of Wands Rx – Lack of inspiration in your work will have you feeling stymied this week.  With all this wild energy running around mentioned above, this can make it feel like you’re chasing your tail. Take a breath and remind yourself that this is temporary.

WaningTower and Lily – Stop holding yourself back from seeking out what pleasure and enjoyment you can in life this week.  Instead, give yourself permission to take pleasure in the world around you and those within it.

WaxingSnake and Fish – Make sure you are paying attention to just how far you are willing to go to get ahead this week. You may be feeling a bit over enthusiastic in this regard and you want to make sure you keep yourself to your values… because the temptation to push the envelope will be strong.

Take Away – Find pleasure and enjoyment where you can this week and use physical exertions to help stave off the rise in anxiety that’s coming.

Self-Care Saturday Tarot Reading with Maruco's Animal & Food Tarot and Thumbelina's Lenormand

EarthFive of Cups – You’re going to have to spend a bit in places you don’t want to this week. There’s no point crying over spilled milk. Take care of what needs taken care of and move on to recovering from it.

AirKnight of Pentacles – Time consuming is not always a bad thing. Remember that often when you put extra time and effort into a project, the end results are that much better. Keep this in mind this week so that your impatience doesn’t cause you rush in places and activities where you need to take things slow.

WaterEight of Cups – Don’t allow yourself to be pushed beyond your limits. You are not emotionally ready. You can have just as much fun without the drown, so take care to avoid the drop this week.

FireThe Hermit – Cherish your alone time this week and use it to reflect on how you can establish a stronger connection with your inner spark. Seek out those healthy alone time options to help you find the kindling you need to get things going.

WaningPaths and Mice – Indecision is not your friend this week. The longer you dither, the more your options will dwindle.

WaxingSnake and Moon – Your emotions will try to sabotage you if you let them. Stay alert and aware this week in order to try and head this off at the pass.

Take Away – Discontent is a bit of a theme this week, so make sure you are leaning into positivity and optimism where you can instead of dwelling on the negative.  And don’t flirt with a drop this week… it’s not the time, no matter how much you want to jump his bones.

Month End Check-In Tarot Reading with the Purple Cat Tarot

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

Eight of Swords atop The World Rx – You’re too busy trying to play blind that you’ve strayed off-path a bit. Too much dawdling and fucking around when there are better outlets available to put your energy into.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Ace of Wands ½ Turned – Your inspiration is going to end up left in the past if you don’t get on the ball about things soon.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

Four of Swords – It’s okay to want to enjoy your time at home. But, that means celebrate what you have to come home to, not wallow in it to the point you shut out the world. Stop hiding.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Eight of Cups – Your desire to retreat from the world is high right now… and extremely unhealthy for you.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Nine of Cups – Play the gratitude game and allow it to help in lifting you up. Gratitude is one of the positive tools at your disposal to help you combating the negative inner narrative and self destructive tendencies. Use it.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

The Hermit atop Page of Swords – Take some time to reflect on times when you have been too impulsive. Reach out and connect with these past lessons to assist you in avoiding repeating them.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Five of Wands – Not all conflict is bad. Reflect upon those times when conflict has made things better in the long run for yourself and others.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Six of Swords – Don’t allow your reluctance to move and change cause you to become stagnant in an unhealthy situation.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

King of Pentacles Rx atop The Tower – Destructive chaos at the bedrock under your feet does not sound like an opportunity, and yet the fact is that it is, and the challenge is that you need to try and see it that way.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Tarot Vintage and Dreaming Lenormand

EarthThe Fool Rx – Stay grounded and don’t do anything foolish. Pay attention to the world around you.

AirJustice – I think before you act this week, for the repercussions of not doing so could be far more than you’re prepared to deal with.

WaterThe High Priestess – Remember that your emotions are intrinsically tied in with your intuition, and vice versa. What effects one will affect the other as well.

FireSeven of Swords – Potential betrayal is coming, this is why you have to make sure that you’re paying attention to the world around you right now. You can’t circumvent what you don’t see coming.

WaningBook and Child – Now is not the time for sating the whims of your curiosity.  Keep your impulsivity in check this week and you can play “what’s that” and “where’s it go” later on at some point.

WaxingBoutique and Cross – Accept that you’re not always going to be into being around others.  Sometimes being social is just too much, and it’s okay at those times to step away.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Likely Tarot and Ink Sketch Lenormand

EarthTwo of Cups – Focus on family this week. Not family by blood, but more specifically your chosen family. There’s a lot to get done on the trip you’re embarking on in the week ahead and you need to keep your focus on what matters.

AirFour of Wands – Seek out moments of stability within those times that you feel most comfortable and linger in them. You can carry that peace and stability with you in small ways, when things are more hectic or chaotic.

WaterSix of Swords atop Eight of Wands – Don’t get flustered when others try and rush you along. It’s going to happen, just be ready for it and do the best you can.  Remember that the best you can is enough.

FireKnight of Pentacles – Remember that they can’t force you to hurry up if you need to go at your own pace. Don’t allow their pushing and prodding to stress you out.  Just keep going and you’ll get there.  They can wait while you catch up.

WaningSnake and Stork – Move yourself and others away from the “snake in the grass” trying to take away your “good thing”.  Someone you visit along the path of this trip does not have anyone’s interests at heart but their own.

WaxingLady and Whip – Help Ms B feel like she’s in charge and is calling all the shots. She’s feeling especially powerless at the moment and could use the empowerment that allowing her to hold the reigns can give.
