self reflection cards

❤️ 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 Maruco's Animal & Food Tarot and Thumbelina's Lenormand

Earth – Five 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.

Air – Knight 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.

Water – Eight 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.

Fire – The 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.

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

Waxing – Snake 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.

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

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

Air – Justice – 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.

Water – The 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.

Fire – Seven 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.

Waning – Book 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.

Waxing – Boutique 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

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.
