Questions for September 17th thru 20th – Harvesting What You Put Energy Into

Dionysian Mysteries Lenormand Reading with the Taisho Roman Lenormand

Confidence in the Unknown – How can you have more confidence in the journey ahead?

Stork and Child – Remember that good things are coming, and embrace them with playful eagerness and an open heart. You can’t close yourself off to the good stuff and still expect to grow and become more confident.  Instead, you need to not just embrace it, but have fun with it.

The Loot – What can you collect or reap in your life right now?

Bear and Coffin – Look for the boon in loss. You may have lost a good chunk of your independence over the last few months while dealing with caring for an elder, but you’ve also lost that constant ache for a mother figure that you’ve carried with you all your life.

Spiritual Unity – How can you integrate your spiritual side into your daily life?

Letter and Dog – Commit to your writing and stay true to that effort instead of forsaking it. Not just in your readings and writing out the responses and interpretations to the cards you pull, but also in your entertainment with Gideon where you are allowing your energy to flow freely between the two of you and “loosening up” that ability to exchange with others that you sometimes keep too tight a grip on.

The Journey – What inner-like journey awaits you?

Clouds and Stars – Finding hope in times of emotional uncertainty.

What is the goal?

House and Tree – To develop a healthy new balance of comfort and stability. A lot has changed in your life this year, and on that journey of seeking out light in the darkness of confusion, you need to keep in mind that the end goal is stability and comfort.  Deep roots.

September 16

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Queen of Swords – “Your struggle is not an indication of failure”, it is a valuable learning experience to help you guide others later on down the road. When you experience hardships, you are better able to help others through their own.  This is not you failing, but rather it is you becoming a stronger, better, more understanding human being. Without struggle and hardship there can be no growth, and without growth you cannot help others from a stable place of trust and understanding.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Five of Wands – I don’t see a lot of conflict in this particular Five of Wands (which is usually what the Five of Wands is all about), but what I do see is a determination to stand up  for what you believe in, even if it means being solitary in your endeavors.  Today’s cards are a reminder that not everything can be a group effort, and it’s not the end of the world if you and those important to you aren’t copacetic on every aspect of life.  Variety is just as important as common ground, so don’t write off friendships or family just because they believe differently than you do.  Instead, hold your own beliefs close, and accept that they do the same for theirs.

Listen to Gideon.

Praise from Gideon

Nine of Pentacles – Take stock of all that you’ve done and how hard you’ve worked. Look at what you’ve accomplished. Don’t spend so much time focusing on what you didn’t manage to do and what still needs to be done that you miss out on praising yourself for the monumental amount of stuff you have.

Five of Wands – There are always going to be conflicts in the process of working together with others. We all have separate opinions, methods, and techniques that we feel are better than the rest. Just make sure that you don’t allow others to bully you into feeling like you’re not doing enough. If they want more done than you’re ready to deal with? Tell them to do it themselves instead of butting heads with them about it.

Today’s meditation was nine minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

The High Priestess – “Your speed doesn’t matter, forward is forward”, and sometimes? Your progress is being made out of your view and without you being aware of it.  Just because it feels like you’re going at a snail’s pace doesn’t mean things aren’t happening, only that things are happening that you’re not aware of at the time. Have patience, and allow things to develop at their own pace.  You’ll become aware of that which is hidden from you eventually when the time is right.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Ace of Cups – Don’t allow your emotions to run away with you and cause you to feel that things are worse of than they are or that you are worse off than you really are. Life has proven to you again and again that you are stronger than you believe yourself to be and will weather the storms that roll through just fine.  Adapt and be flexible instead of standing rigid against the wind.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Four of Swords – You are important. You matter.” There are a lot of people depending on you right now, and you need to make sure that you are doing what you can to take care of yourself and give yourself the rest and recuperation  you need.  Don’t ignore your need for rest or push yourself too hard.  It’s important to keep yourself well cared for and rested, or you will begin to fall apart… and then so will everything else.

The Hanged Man – Remember when your negative self talk is speaking that it’s a liar. It is a defense mechanism used to keep you beaten down so that you won’t climb so high as to crash into the ground when knocked down by others.  It is outmoded, and you need to make sure that you are using positivity and optimism to fight back against it instead of allowing that narrative to be your only view of yourself and the things that you do.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was focused on the message in today’s cards, which is…

Temperance – “It’s going to be okay”, you just need to make sure to take things slow.  Don’t rush. You’re homesick and missing life before you had to step into this caretaker role.  Although this time and responsibility isn’t going to last forever, you can’t rush the return to normalcy. It has to move at its own pace, and you need to be patient with the process.

Questions for September 9th thru 12th – One With Nature

Dionysian Mysteries Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Emblemata Lenormand

Rapture – How can you open yourself to new experiences and insights?

Garden and Ring – Commit to opening yourself up to social interactions and spending time with others. Although what you feel like doing is retreating into alone time, you know that it’s only through interacting with others you can get the external influences you need.

Connection with Nature – How can you ground yourself and establish a deeper connection with nature?

Mountain and Fox – Be clever in dealing with the obstacles in your way so that they don’t overcome you and your efforts.  You may not be able to get into the woods and among the trees right now, but you can walk barefoot in the grass.

The Dionysian Feast – How can you bring more joy and playfulness into your life?

Cross and Lily – Take care not to see your time with your elders as a burden.  Have fun with it.  Yes, there’s a lot of responsibility involved, but there’s also a lot of joking and amusement.  Don’t lose sight of the fun that can be had by sinking too deep into the mentality of burden and obligation.

Liberation from Limitations – What fears or doubts are holding you back from being fully yourself?

Woman and Scythe – You fear that your softer and more open side will become a liability that gets you hurt or be seen as unappealing and leave you cut off and alone.
