Month End Tarot Reading with the Urban Incantations Tarot

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

The World – Major transitions happen around this time of year for you, with the holiday rush changing just about every aspect of your life in one way or another.  Your growth throughout the year comes to a culmination as your focus is drawn elsewhere and held for a stretch of six weeks, and your entire world changes.  Remember that there is a new journey that can once again focus on you and your needs once the race of the holiday rush comes to an end.

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

Knight of Pentacles – The time for slow movement is at an end. Things are picking up speed and you’ll need to move at a faster pace to keep up and succeed.

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

Queen of Pentacles – This month ahead is filled with the potential for the wealth and success needed not only to fulfill your own needs, but also care for and support others.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Five of Cups – Sour grapes and negative inner narratives are not your friend. Make sure you are aware of those self-criticisms and negative self-judgements, and do what you can to counterbalance them for a healthier outlook.

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

Nine of Pentacles – Instead of focusing on failings and struggles, as mentioned above, make sure that you are focusing on your successes and accomplishments.  Boost your outlook through positive feedback instead of being a slave driver to yourself that is never pleased or satisfied.

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

King of Swords Rx – Impulsive moments and acting without thought usually ends badly for you… but not always. When it does, though, you kick yourself for these moments instead of letting them go. Work harder to see them as learning experiences instead of failings.

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

Death – You have done well with all the changes that have gone on in your life this year. Don’t lose sight of that ability to adapt and keep going as you move forward this month.

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

Ten of Cups – Watch out for threats to your emotional security and familial ties. Stay aware of those things that could cause disruption to your “happy family” feelings that you share with others.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Seven of Wands Rx – Remember that sometimes empowerment doesn’t require outward expression. It’s okay to keep your opinions and beliefs to yourself, and stand firm in them without justifying them to others.

Message from the Spirit World – Keep in mind that happiness and success sometimes require you to yield instead of standing strong.

Message from the Mind’s World – Slow progress to your goals and beyond them is still progress. You’ll get there, and soon you’ll be in a position to not just work towards your goals, but support others in working towards theirs as well.

Message from the Physical World – Lack of motivation and strategy combined with negative thoughts equal more and more uncomfortable change in your life.

Month End Check In Tarot Reading with the Tarot Yokai

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

Le Pape (Hakutaku) – You are comfortable in your spiritual path and enjoy sharing your knowledge and experiences with others. There’s no need to “shake things up” at this time.

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

Sept d’Épées (Chimi) – There is no need to strategize or rethink anything at this time. And… make sure when you go into the woods, you are not going alone.

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

Cinq d’Bâtons Rx (Ashura) atop Le Fou (Mumashika) – You desire times of conflict to be beneficial. To do this, you need to remember everyone wants their opinions heard. It doesn’t hurt anything to pause and listen, instead of blindly pushing forward with your own opinions and ambition.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Cavalier d’Épées (Namahage) – Acting rashly or pushing forward before everything is planned out is not going to go well. Bank your impulsivity and ambition for now.

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

Le Hermite (Yamabiko) atop Cavalier de Deniers (Hōnengame) – Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Take your time and do things right the first time. It’s okay to sink into your work and projects right now.

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

Bailey de Deniers Rx (Keizōbō) atop La Roy de Fortune (Hōō) – You need to remember the boon that comes from moments of failure. Take these moments as the universe helping you to “level up” your skills, instead of as an opportunity to punish yourself.

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

Huit d’Épées (Yosuzume) atop Roi de Coupes Rx (Wani) – When you ignore your emotional needs, you hurt yourself and everyone else. That neediness in others is a boon that speaks of their uncompromising and unconditional love. Don’t push that away just to punish yourself.

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

Quatre de Bâtons (Zashiki Warashi) atop Neuf de Coupes (Kūko) – Make sure that you aren’t allowing yourself to get so comfortable that you become unmotivated to strive for more.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Cavalier de Coupes (Myōbu) – There is potential to rekindle your creative spark and the motivation to turn those ideas and intuitive nudges into action and thus fruition.

Message from the Spirit World – A little more home alone time can do you a world of good as long as you stay active instead of allowing stagnancy to sneak in and tap away your creativity.

Message from the Mind’s World – No new strategies are needed right now. No restructuring required. Sit back instead, stable in your knowledge, and expand your horizons by listening to others.

Message from the Physical World – Physical activity is good for you right now, but make sure you take someone with you when you are out and about. Ignoring the danger will not keep you safe.

❤️ 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 Todd Alcott's Horror Tarot and House of Shadows Lenormand Samhain Edition

EarthEight 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.

AirThe 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.

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

FireThe 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.

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

WaxingCandy 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

EarthTen 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.

AirThe 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.

WaterSix 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.

FireTwo 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.

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

WaxingLetter 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

EarthAce 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.

AirSix 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.

WaterTwo 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.

FireTwo 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.

WaningThe 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.

WaxingThe 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.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Skele-Tarot and Monster Lenormand

EarthTen of Pentacles – Take stock of how your body is working for you this week and just how fortunate you are that you can do the things you do, both in general and with others.

AirNine of Swords – Just because you’re worried doesn’t mean anything bad is going to happen. Don’t let yourself stress over things that are just in your head and not a part of reality. Make sure you catch this tendency quickly instead of letting it drag on by ignoring that it’s happening.

WaterKing of Swords – Own your thoughts and how they can influence your emotions. You can lead your emotions in the direction you want them to go this week by ensuring you steer the way with your thoughts.

Fire King of Pentacles – Go back to your roots and dig deep. Your spiritual life needs to reconnect with that stable foundation that makes everything else fall in line.

WaningShip and Partner – Do not allow yourself to be dragged down by the lack of time with Gid this week. It’s temporary.

WaxingTower and Clover – To protect yourself in the week ahead, make sure you are looking out at the world and toward the future with optimism and positivity.
