No Neglect Allowed

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Tarot Balbi - The EmpressToday’s draw is the Empress card, which is traditionally a representation of the sacred feminine, fertility, abundance, nurturing strength, and mother earth.

Although the Empress is a regal figure, she is also a nurturer.  A caregiver.  And the energy that she brings to today needs to be as nurturing and caring towards yourself as what you would give to others.

Today’s card indicates that there is a need to treat yourself well today. Don’t ignore this need, and make the conscious decision to avoid self abuse or self neglect.

Questions for June 25th

L'Oracle de l'Intuition et l'ActionI will be more aware of…

… how important it is to speak up share my perspectives (Osez Parler) so that others can see beyond their own viewpoint to a more full picture of what’s going on (Un Regard Différent), and thus be able to make the best choices possible for themselves (La Bonne Décision).

So I can…

…see them flourish (Le Courage d’Oser) in the knowledge that they are not alone but have others behind them to help them when needed (Jamais Seule).

Questions for June 25th thru 27th

Tarot BalbiWhat kind of shadow work can help me grow (as a person)?

Death – Coming to terms with negative feelings about change so that you can accept changes more easily with less discord and resistance.

How, or in what area, can this help me grow?

Nine of Coins – It will allow feelings of rightness and stability to grow strong, and you will be able to see your accomplishments more clearly, as well as better appreciate them.

What kind of light work can support (or heal) me?

Ace of Cups – Exploring your emotions and learning to live with them rather than burying them or ignoring them.

What first step am I guided to take today in this light work?

Wheel of Fortune atop Queen of Coins – Acknowledge that there is greater stability within yourself and your life than you give yourself credit for. Emotions may make it feel like the boat is rocking, even when it isn’t.

How am I guided to share my magic with others throughout this Solstice cycle?

Temperance – Now is not the time, focus on yourself for now.

How, or where, would Lilith like to see me {re}claim my personal power?

Seven of Pentacles – You need to remember and accept that just because things are moving slowly doesn’t mean that you have failed or are somehow lacking. Some things are meant to go slow, whether you want them to or not.

I spent a lot of time in play with Gideon today, and it was wonderful.

Asking For Help

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was done in the bathtub to the soothing tunes of Ms Ebba Forsberg’s Been There album (which I believe is her absolute best piece of work to date with the addition of the song “Real Slow” on the Falling Folding Flipping Feeling album).

Tarot Balbi Argentinian EditionToday’s draw is the Five of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of tests, trials, struggles, and setbacks in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, work, or manifestations. This often translates into themes that have to do with scarcity and Times when one needs to seek out help from others instead of suffering through alone.

In this card, the coins look like flowers, and the plants appear to be supporting them.  This speaks to me of that need to seek out help when you need it instead of forcing yourself to suffer on your own or insisting you can handle it yourself.

I’m very guilty of this stubborn insistence.  It’s not pride so much as history that has taught me this is the way it should be, and it is a habit I am actively working on breaking.   Today’s card is a reminder of this journey, and the need to seek out help when you need it. No garden flourishes without a little help from not just the gardener, but also the rain and sun.

Topic for June 5th: Do Spread #1

Aunt Lily's Tarot and Spirit of the Wheel OracleHow is the rise of summer energies manifesting in my life?

Seven of Swords and West – Time is getting away from you. You’re doing well and resting and are enjoying it. And, that recuperation is needed. But not so much that you miss out getting on top of the things you want to get done this summer. If you don’t start moving soon and get that creative spark motivated, time is going to get away from you right up into the fall and the beginning of the holiday season.

How can I harness these summer energies for my purpose?

The Chariot and Growth – Seize the day and get going.

Where would I be best served in directing these energies throughout the summer months?

Page of Pentacles and South – Sometimes having to be an adult sucks, but it’s a necessary part of life. It’s time to re-introduce more “adulthood” into your life and motivation, instead of avoiding the projects that need done.

Questions for June 5th

Tarot Balbi Argentinian EditionI am strong enough to…

Knight of Pentacles and Page of Wands – …lend my passion and drive to new things at a less breakneck pace than I’m used to. Not everything has to be a rush, and a little restraint would be a good (and healthy) thing.

So I can…

Queen of Swords and Two of Swords – …make better decisions based on my experience and logic instead of just “winging it”. Not that “winging it” doesn’t turn out okay, but it’s a whole lot more stress than if you take your time and do things at a more manageable pace.
