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

Today’s draw is The Devil card, which is traditionally a representation of temptation, struggles with moderation, harmful excesses, addiction, and self-harm.

The Devil card has then been combined with a Dalai Lama quote from the Gratitude Insight Cards, which says, “The roots of our goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.”

Sometimes it’s far easier to ignore the good things and focus on the bad ones. It becomes a habit that reaches beyond pessimism and starts to bleed negativity into our outlook of life as a whole.

From this lack of appreciation for the positive and good things in life the roots of negative outlooks and pessimism begin to spread and grow until they permeate every aspect of our lives.

The same process is true in reverse. When we focus on the positive and appreciate the goodness around us, it is those roots that grow and spread instead of the negative ones.

The message in today’s Devil card and affirmation are a reminder that we have control over how we see the world. Just like rust can eat way at metal, negativity can become a habit that eats away at the good in our lives. These cards encourage us to look at those places in our lives where this has begun to happen, and consider how to stop the spread by creating new habits that are healthier to replace the old unhealthy ones.

@Lionharts #TheJuneTarot Follow Your North Star Challenge
Prompt for June 21st : Summer Solstice Spread

Thrive: What is ready to thrive during the second half of 2026?

Rovo / Bramble – You have the opportunity to spark a new sense of enthusiasm for the parts of your life feeling a bit lack luster of late. Just have a care that you don’t go overboard. Dopamine is a wonderful thing, but it runs the risk of addiction without a bit of caution in regard to your excesses.

Lead: What part of myself is meant to lead this phase forward?

Frassino / Ash – Focus on being prudent and cautious when it comes to your finances. It’s often far too easy to toss money around when enthusiasm sparks, but you need to act in this area with good judgement and care.

Will: What holds the most promise for the months ahead?

Quercia / Oak – Following the advice above offers you the opportunity to grow your sense of security while still instilling in your life the chance to delve deeper into your experiences and emotions.

Foraged Oak Branch with Moss and Lichen for Perseverance

The @lightningwildflower June Inner Journey Challenge
Sun enters Cancer Prompt for June 21st : What part of my home and family needs my attention right now?

Reading Summary: Your home and family needs you to show them what it means to stand strong (Strength) in the middle of chaos (Lightning Strike), and come out the other end still thriving (Strength), regardless of what life throws at you in the moment (Wheel of Fortune).

Take Away: The cards have been warning against the arrival of chaos and destruction for a few days, pumping you up for its arrival and providing you with advice on getting through difficult times.

These cards continue with this theme, encouraging you to tap into the survivor energy that lives within you and “show them how it’s done” as you move through the upcoming difficulties and chaos.

Turn your time and attention to making sure your confidence is being bolstered and you’re shoring up your reserves of stubborn determination and perseverance.

#DiscordTarotholicsJun2026 Challenge
Prompt for June 21st : Do the Midsummer Spread

Horse: What can I do to build up my inner courage to live life with more honesty and integrity?

Lavender – Work on staying calm. If you want to build up your courage, part of doing that is ensuring that your anxiety is under control. You have the tools that you disposal to help keep your anxiety under control, but only if you’re willing to use them. Whether that courage is used to live life with more honesty and integrity, or to confront fears you’ve long carried, finding that calm in the first place is the answer.

Daisy: How can I insert more innocence and purity into how I view the world?

Raspberry – Stop looking at everything from the lens of “here we go again”. Remember that a fresh perspective can always help in clearing out the dust and cobwebs of a jaded mind. Open yourself up to seeing things from a new angle.

Lapis Lazuli: How can I be more honest with myself about my good and bad traits?

Mullein – Stop trying to ignore them. Things like this don’t go away just because you refuse to acknowledge them. Instead, it’s through your attention and an effort toward control that you can find a more honest view of both your good and bad qualities. Tighten down a little in this area for more clarity.

Citrine: In what ways can I work at expressing my creativity more?

Hops – Use creativity time as a cool down activity instead of holding the expectation that it’s something that will ramp you up. Creativity doesn’t always have to be an excitable activity or an exhausting someone. Sometimes it can just be chill and relaxing… if you let it.

Snake: How can I use my creativity to help foster fresh energies and a sense of rebirth?

Oregano – Creativity, even when used in the calming ways mentioned above, helps get your “juices flowing” in gentle ways, stirring up within you energy and enthusiasm that has become stagnant. Just do the creative things, even the little ones, and it will help kindle new energies within you and bring old ones back to life.

Heather: How can I invite more good luck into my day to day life?

Linden – Stop bracing for what might happen. There’s too much tension in trying to brace for impact. Instead, allow for awareness without seizing control in an unforgiving fist to try and protect yourself and others. You’re suffocating everything that way. Ease up.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Parmeliaceae Lichen for a “Breath of Fresh Air”
Calcite for Gently Calming the Mind and Stimulating Insights
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
