❤️ 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 the Tarot of the Everlasting Day and Coffee Cup Oracle

Earth – Three of Cups – Try to find some time to have some fun with others this week. Lean into laughter and making everyone feel included. It will help build a more cohesive unit, and a greater sense of stability if you do.

Air – Seven of Swords atop Ten of Wands – Remember that if you don’t deal with and mitigate feelings of overwhelm, they will sneak their way into the territory of burnout and end up stealing away your energy and confidence.

Water – The Devil – Stay mindful that your emotions can drive you to unhealthy behaviors. Make sure that you are dealing with your emotions instead of letting them fester so that you can avoid going down that road.

Fire – Ace of Wands – It’s okay to let yourself get excited and enthusiastic about something. Work on incorporating a bit of passion into your days instead of trying to smother that aspect of yourself.

Waning – Eye and Heart – Be grateful for what you have instead of feeling envious that you don’t have more. You are getting time with him that you weren’t before. Is it as much as either of you want? No. But feeling envious about that solves nothing and brings a negativity into the equation that doesn’t need to be there.

Waxing – Dove and Snake – It might not seem like it, but this week would be an excellent time to drown.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Fauntabelle Tarot and Sparkly Lenormand

Earth – King 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.

Air – Eight 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.

Water – The 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.

Fire – Page 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.

Waning – Tower 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.

Waxing – Snake 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

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.
