self reflection cards

3/19❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 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 The Likely Tarot and Ink Sketch Lenormand

Earth – Two 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.

Air – Four 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.

Water – Six 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.

Fire – Knight 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.

Waning – Snake 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.

Waxing – Lady 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.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Oh, What a Wild Life! Tarot and Magickal Folklore Lenormand

Earth – King of Swords – Be decisive and make good decisions concerning your finances this week. Keep your eye on the prize and strategize with a leaning towards stability and security. Don’t act on emotion but think things through instead.

Air – Five of Pentacles – Scarcity issues are going to be a bit of a problem this week. Remember that a great deal of that is “in your head” and not realistic or reality based. The rest of it can be dealt with by following the advice in this reading’s Earth position.

Water – Four of Wands – Savor all the things that make you feel “at home” both in your home and concerning those in your life as well. It’s okay to wallow a bit in that sense of comfort and belonging you get from those people in your life, as well as in the environment you’ve made for yourself.

Fire – Eight of Pentacles – Put your nose to the grindstone this week in preparation for what is soon to come. Time off is coming, and business is going to continue to slow down as summer approaches. You have things you can be doing to make this go more smoothly, so do them.

Waning – Tree and House – Don’t worry so much on how everyone else is doing right now. Focus on yourself instead.

Waxing – Scythe and Child – Nip moments of childishness in the butt this week.

Take Away – Make sure you are making stable and strategic decisions with your money this week and don’t let your inner narrative fool you into panicking about what you -don’t- have right now. Just keep moving forward with your business and work on what needs to be done while leaning into those that give you comfort.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Tanya Teibtner's Tarot de Marseille and the Green Glyphs Lenormand

Earth – The Hanged Man – Sometimes it’s okay to hang back and see what everybody else is doing before you make up your mind. It doesn’t make you one of the sheep to do this, but rather allows you to have a larger scope of perspectives to be informed by.

Air – Page of Cups – Make sure you’re using your words to express your emotions this week. Now is not the time to keep things pent up and to yourself.

Water – Judgment – Keep your judgments and negativity to yourself. Be the man you want yourself to be instead of the man that’s trying to “escape out your mouth”.

Fire – The Sun – Smooth sailing and success are easily in your grasp this week. Play it to your greatest advantage and have some fun in the process.

Waning – Lady and Letter – Let go of the shit she says that she doesn’t really mean. Even if she does mean it, it really doesn’t matter.

Waxing – Key and Garden – Jer’s going to be back to his social self again this week. Have some patience, and he’ll come to you.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Victorian Romance Tarot and Under the Roses Lenormand

Earth – Strength – You will be able to get others on board with what you want more easily this week if you make sure to look at things from their perspective instead of your own when trying to persuade them.

Air – Ten of Swords – All is not lost, even when things look like they’re at their worst. If you fall down, just take a moment to catch your breath and allow others to soothe your wounds before trying to rise again.

Water – The Star – Optimism is an important element to keeping you out of depression’s pit. Don’t allow your emotions this week to pull you out of hope’s reach.

Fire – Temperance Rx – You may need to push a little bit to get caught up after the setbacks from last week.

Waning – Child and Dog – J needs a little time on his own to figure out what he’s going to do. Give him the space he needs this week. He’ll be back when he’s ready.

Waxing – Anchor and Mice – Things are going to be feeling a bit less stable this week, as stress and other influences eat away at your feelings of stability and security.

Take Away – Don’t let the need to push and get things done disrupt your efforts to keep yourself uplifted.  Optimism and positivity have a valuable place in your life to help you find balance… even during times when  you need to work a bit more and push a bit harder.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Kai Tarot Love and LifeLine Lenormand

Earth – Four of Wands – With your week off ahead, make sure you are taking time to celebrate being able to enjoy some down time at home.

Air – Knight of Swords – Make sure if you’re going to hyper focus on anything, that you make it something fun and healthy instead of just more work.  You can’t work all the time, and this week you’re supposed to be taking it easy.

Water – Nine of Swords – Worries and anxiety are on the rise this week.  Make sure to take some deep breaths and do the grounding needed to keep yourself balanced and stable so that you don’t fly off the handle or become overly reactionary.

Fire – Three of Swords – Take care that you aren’t too harsh in expressing your disappointments.  Too much fire and energy poured into this avenue could do far more harm than good.

Waning – Heart and Anchor – A relationship in your life that has felt stable of late may begin to feel a bit imbalanced and unstable this week. Take a breath and remember that part of this is perception… some of it may be anxiety… but very little of it is permanent truth.

Waxing – Fox and Bear – Be cunning and smart in how you take control and lead this week.  Don’t just charge in like a bull in a china shop, but instead work at finding ways to bend others to your will.

Self-Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Cats of Aux Tarot and Lovely Lenormand

Earth – Six of Wands – Pay attention to urges to please others this week. You need to make sure you’re thinking for yourself when decisions are being made.

Air – Three of Cups atop Page of Cups Rx – You may have a few setbacks in the growth and development of your emotional intelligence this week. Don’t be too hard on yourself about it.

Water – King of Cups – Seek out and lean into those who support you emotionally, especially when you start to feel down on yourself and need the extra support.

Fire – Wheel of Fortune – Ups and downs happen in business. Just breathe and go with the flow instead of allowing yourself to get all tied up in knots over moments of “bad luck” and other misfortune.

Waning – House and Birds – Too much chaos in house. Look forward to having a housekeeper again at the end of the week when you will finally have someone to help you get the chaos back in to order.  That inner chatter in your head will then have the opportunity to shut up and stop picking on you about the things you aren’t doing around the house.

Waxing – Crossroads and Clouds – In order to make good choices this week, you need to seek more information. You don’t have to sit with the confusion, nor do you need to make these decisions right away.  If you can’t get clear of the clouds, just wait instead of choosing a direction.
