Teddy Tarot, Arcanis Animal Tarot, Mystical Realm Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

September 4

Eight of Cups – “You are a fighter, ever onwards”, but sometimes you need to know when it’s time to let it go and walk away.  You can’t fight every battle, and sometimes when things fall apart? It’s for a reason. Instead of trying to piece things back together that have not been working for you for a while now, consider letting them go.  Yes, it hurts and it’s disappointing, but it’s only when you toss the broken shit that you can begin the mending of your own heart.

The Sun – Today’s card(s) are a reminder that you are enough. Right now.  All on your own.  Without apology.  They are a reminder to own who you are, flaws and all, for it is through knowing yourself and owning who you are that you are able to find success and happiness in life.  Don’t spend so much time trying to “fix” yourself or apologizing for yourself that you miss out on all the good stuff that acceptance of the self can bring.

September 6

Two of Swords –  “You can do the thing!” You just have to put your mind and focus to it.  I’m not entirely sure what “the thing” is, but this advice goes well for a whole lot of things.  It advises that when you are feeling uncertain and dealing with self doubt, that the way past that and to success is to just DO it instead of waffling and second guessing yourself.  I can relate to this… because sometimes when you think too much or get too many perspectives, you end up stymied.  Today’s card is a reminder not to let that happen, but actually make the decision to act instead.

The #lucetseptembertarotchallenge Dionysian Mysteries Challenge
Questions for September 1st thru 4th – The Dance of Life

Dionysian Mysteries Challenge with The Early Riser's Lenormand

The Essence of Dionysus – Draw a card that gives you insight into the energy of Dionysus and how to welcome it into your life.

Stag and Bat (Man and Fox) – Dionysus connects with that part of you that is unpredictable and keeps people’s guessing. It is the joy in those moments that allows you to welcome this quality into your life, for it speaks of a bit of harmless mischievous fun.

The Vineyard – Which aspect of yourself must you let go of to make room for new growth?

Light (Cross) and Soul Family – Let go of the feeling that those you choose as family are a burden to you. See them in a better light than that. Yes, right now, you’re dealing with a lot of responsibility and it’s put a lot of weight on you, but work to make sure you don’t tilt into thoughts of them as a burden.

The Dance – How can you free yourself and express your inner passions?

Moon and Ship – Explore your emotions and allow them the freedom to be expressed openly. Instead of burying them or hiding them,  you need to delve in and take a closer look at them.  As they become more familiar, they will become easier and easier to express confidently in healthy ways.

Ecstasy – What makes your heart beat faster and your soul light up?

Birds and Jewels – Your time spent in play on the rp server, allowing you time to be with those important to you while feeling as if you are shining bright for all to see. Even when you aren’t playing but just chatting now and then with Gid and the friends that are there, it allows you a moment now and then to shine brighter from within… although that “heart beat faster” part is all for him and how special and important he makes you feel.

Be With Your Body Tarot, Tarot of the Everlasting Day, RainShadow Tarot, and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal Cards

September 1

Ace of Hips (Cups) – You matter… and so do your emotions and how you feel about things.  Don’t let your feelings stay buried, as they can cause some unpleasant physical repercussions when you do. Specifically?  It can cause your IBS to act up.   Instead, speak up and share your emotions with those that need to hear what you are feeling… and with those that you trust to help you process them.

The Hermit – Today’s card is a reminder that it’s okay to need that alone time, and the cuddle time with Miss Luna when you are able to get a bit of it.  Don’t feel guilty about it, thinking you are taking away from other responsibilities in order to be “selfish”.  It’s needed for your mental health, and for hers too.  You’re allowed to need that, and to take it when you can.

King of Swords – “You are going to get through this just fine”, it’s just going to take a bit of leadership and strategy to get there.  Take the initiative and activate that clever mind of yours to show others how it’s done and inspire them to follow your lead. Creative thinking on safety measures and physio exercises is a must right now to help Ms B re-discover her independence and confront her fears.

Cosmic Coven Tarot - The High PriestessAugust 31

The High Priestess – You learn through experience, and so does your intuition. Living here with Ms B has been difficult and there’s been a lot of physical and emotional struggle, but there is also intuitive growth happening during this time. Being in a home with active spirits of the dead (as opposed to the Fae that occupy your own home) is giving you a chance to stretch your wings in your mediumship abilities. In this way, remember that you are gaining from this experience with Ms B as well as learning, experiencing, and growing stronger. Not just physically or emotionally, but intuitively as well.

August 28

Five of Wands – You know, I never thought of Sailor Moon cartoon characters as butting heads, and yet here the wands are on the five of wands. Today’s card is a reminder that even when you butt heads with others, it’s still possible to get things done and make great things happen. Conflict is uncomfortable, but sometimes it’s a necessary part of the process. Don’t shy away from it… work through it instead and everything will sort itself out in the end.

Six of Swords – Instead of trying to quash your anxieties and worries, berating them or shoving them under the rug… try talking about them instead. When you discuss them with others, it helps expunge them from your head, effectively giving them an outlet to be let go of instead of forcing yourself to hold onto them while trying to ignore them.

Six of Swords – When this is all over, make sure that you remember to give yourself time to rest and recover instead of just jumping back in full speed into everything else.  Slough off this time and take a moment or three to feel the difference that removing that weight feels like.  Take a breath and give yourself time to recuperate.  You need it, whether you will be wanting to give it to yourself or not.

Good Omens Tarot Reading

Good Omens Oracle Reading with The Empty Cup Oracle and Prosperitea Game Cards

Manifest: What positive energies or opportunities are manifesting in my life right now?

Flying Fish and Assam (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) – You do not have to be grounded all of the time. It’s healthy for you to cut loose and try new things. Step outside the box and follow the occasional urge that you would normally write off as frivolous or out of character.

Embrace: How can I recognize and embrace the good omens around me?

Pinky Promise and Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – Work on becoming more aware of what’s really worth your energy and on easing your grip on everything else. When you are overburdened and distracted, it can be difficult to keep your gaze on the path to the person you want to become. Step back from the stress and burden enough to keep that path forward in your sights.

Note… a big part of that person you want to become included continuing to lean into positivity and optimism in order to counteract your pessimistic tendencies.

Align: What actions can I take to align myself with positive outcomes and blessings?

Diving Helmet and Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) – Relax, stay calm, and breathe deeply. Use the tools you know work to promote the sense of grounded calm that you need in order to be receptive to good things.
