Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Seven of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of strategic thinking, “sneaky shit”, or getting away with something. It can also often be about taking only what one can carry.

The Seven of Swords has then been combined with one of the Cats Against Anxiety cards, which says, “You’re so cute.”

You’re missing an important aspect in your plan.  Go back and look at everything again and consider what human aspect is not being considered.

The illustration in this Seven of Swords has a napping mama mouse below while a child mouse sneaks into the cupboard to steal some cookies, but what I saw when I -first- looked at the card was conspirators on a mission to steal cookies… and half the team fell asleep on the job.

This seems to say that you might trust those you choose to include in your efforts, and be attached to them in ways that are heart warming, but maybe they’re not the “conspirator” you need along for the ride for the plans you have in mind.

The message in today’s cards is about having the right tools for the job.  You wouldn’t take a hammer to a gun fight, and sometimes you need to look at those participating as tools in your arsenal rather than just people you trust.  Include those that will further your efforts and consider -not- including those that may leave you hanging when you need them most.

Prompts for December 30th and 31st

Judgement: How can I answer my inner calling?

Bee Spirit and Cardinal Spirit – Respect and accept that hard work is how possibilities are turned into reality. Manifestation is not about wishful thinking, it’s about making a plan and putting in the work to create what you want from the ideas in your head.  Focus on leaning into the things you love to make this hard work feel less burdensome, and you’ll enjoy the journey as well as the rewards.

The World: How can I honor something in my life that has reached a successful completion?

Cat Spirit and Lion Spirit – Look back at where you were before, and the times when you have been under the thumb of others, and celebrate the freedom and autonomy you’ve gained in your life through the years since. This independence has always been one of your greatest needs and has driven you through the years. It’s time to consider that you might be in a place now in your life where you no longer need to use the loss of your independence as a fear with which to push yourself harder.  Consider working to sustain what you have accomplished in this area, rather than always striving for more.

@aplacetodock #YuletideOracle25 Challenge
Bonus Prompt : How shall I celebrate New Year’s Eve?

Reading Summary: By turning over a new leaf (both Aces) in how you tend to (The Empress) your health and well-being (Ace of Pentacles and Ace of Cups).

Take Away: As the New Year approaches, it’s the perfect time for reflection and resolutions. You need to celebrate the beginning of the New Year with a resolution to pay more attention to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit.

Now is the time to commit to prioritizing your health and well-being. This includes activities that allow you to enjoy life more, provide you with the opportunity to grow emotionally, and allow you to see your health as something that can be improved instead of merely maintained.

I had a nice long soak in the tub today. I swear, if the water could just stay the same comfortable warmth indefinitely? I’d never get out. I love a good tub soak.
