📆 Transitioning from June to July

Month End Check-Up Tarot Reading with The Pacific Northwest Tarot and The Crystal Forests Oracle

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

The Sun and Amethyst – You have been reminded again and again to lean into positivity and optimism. It’s been a tough road, but you are in a place right now to facilitate those efforts.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

Four of Cups and Golden Healer – Sensitivity and sloth. It’s time to act. Leave behind the dragging feet, stagnation, and stubbornly cloying complacency. Lift your feet from the muck and start moving, and in doing so you will feel your energies begin to lighten and become more active as well.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

The Hanged One and Lapis Lazuli – Clarity. You seek a mind unfiltered by bias or clouded by the fuzz of uncertainty or depression.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Wheel of Fortune atop Six of Wands Rx, Fire Opal – Public opinion is fickle as hell. Don’t depend on others for the clarity you seek. Their perspectives are only a piece of the puzzle, and far from the full picture or absolute truth.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Temperance and Copper – Set your own pace that allows you to look around with gratitude and treat yourself with kindness. When you do this, it will still get you where you want to go, but at a far more enjoyable (and sustainable) pace.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Eight of Swords and Blue Kyanite – Forgive yourself for not seeing all of the bad stuff coming before it hits. No one ever sees everything or picks up on all the warning signs. In retrospect we see so much more that we couldn’t have known was important in the moment.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Page of Pentacles and Rainbow Moonstone – You need to reflect on all the good that meditation has done for you in the past and allow this awareness of its positive influences it to inspire you to begin again.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

Nine of Cups atop Two of Cups Rx, Tanzanite – Sometimes social discord can lead to a better place overall. There is a clash of minds is on the horizon, and you may want to let it happen instead of trying to divert, as it will lead to a far better place if you ride it out.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

The High Priestess and Labradorite – You have the opportunity coming your way to expand into your intuition and stretch it into a more comfortable fit.

Message from the Spirit World – It is through your intuition that you will be able to set a pace for yourself that allows for both healthy rest and recuperation, as well as energetic movement toward your goals.  There has to be balance between the two in order to find true happiness.

Message from the Mind’s World – The mental health healing that you need can be found through instilling more positivity and optimism into your day to day life.  Through this new perspective you can find a more crisp and clear mental state.

Message from the Physical World – It is time to step away from self abuse and self neglect. No one can do this for you. You have to make the decision to do it for yourself. You know the things that can help you find a greater sense of physical stability.  Meditation is at the top of the list, and where you need to start.

Take Away –  This reading is primarily about movement and stagnancy, it’s about making sure I’m not lingering any longer in the stagnant energies that have held me back this spring and summer, and instead pushing myself forward into action and movement so that I can begin stirring up energies that need a breath of fresh air.

Attracting Abundance Tarot Reading

Attracting Abundance Oracle Reading with L'Oracle des Miroirs

My current relationship with allowing abundance.

Santé – Your current relationship with allowing abundance is healthy and thriving. You don’t see this as your due, but rather one of those things your skills and abilities allow you to work towards.

How to get myself in alignment.

Voyage – Step outside and spend some time in nature. You’ve spent a lot of time avoiding doing what you know will help ground and center you throughout this spring and summer. The weather has been perfect for you to get out into the forest and spend some time among the trees, so stop wasting it by dawdling indoors.

An energy I need to integrate to have an enlightened perspective on abundance.

Projection – Remember that what your mind focuses on is what you manifest. Therefore if you are focusing on the negative and the pessimistic viewpoint, that is what you will manifest. By the same turn if you focus on positivity, optimism, and gratitude you will manifest more abundance as a result.

Current blessing I should be grateful for.

Compromis – The give-and-take of working with others in a positive manner allows you to manifest positive results should be acknowledged with gratitude. It is through this atmosphere of collaboration that you are able to get things done more easily and in a more timely manner.

What I should be investing my energy into to attract abundance.

Tranquillité – You need to invest more time in your spiritual practice and meditation. These things allow you to have a more grounded foundation upon which to work from to achieve your goals and attract more abundance into your life.

That Too-Tight Grip

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Little Prince Tarot - Four of PentaclesToday’s draw is the Four of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of stability, control, conservation and conservatism, security, saving money or conserving resources, and at times miserly behavior and greed.

In the imagery of today’s card I see greed and control.  It is in the set of the character’s features, his balance with the coils below and above him, the raised brow, and the hug of the coin to his red clad chest. This man knows exactly where his priorities lie and woe to any that try to distract or dissuade him.

The card pulled today questions where we are too rigid, too unmoving, or too controlling in life? Where could we benefit from loosening up a bit and going with the flow?  It is a reminder that happiness does not reside solely in rigidity and too much of these things can lead to stagnancy and suffocation.  That makes this card today an encouragement to ease up and relax our grip on those things we are holding on to too tight.

Philosophical Questions for June 29th

Ganeshian Village TarotAre we ever morally obliged to take action?

The Moon – Yes, although it can often be uncertain in the moment as to when, as well as what, should be done.  Sometimes that uncertainty can cause us to be a bit too cautious.

If so, under what circumstances?

Four of Pentacles – In many situations, it is instilling stability that allows situations to deescalate or be diffused. To create stability for yourself and others, it is often necessary to step in and take action.

Seven of Wands – To stand up for your principles and what you believe in. This is one of the ways that we can provide stability for others, as well as for ourselves.

Six of Wands – But, not to just earn accolades. Some people step in and take action only when they can receive accolades for their actions. Although stepping up and stepping in when help is needed is always a good thing, this particular motivation can be problematic.

Questions for June 28th thru 30thDt

Little Prince TarotWhat can the New Moon in Cancer kick-start for me within my magical practice?

Eight of Wands – Motivation that will allow you to lean into your passion projects and work towards getting them done.

What higher truth is Neptune Rx trying to bring to light for me?

Seven of Swords atop Eight of Sword – The things you try to turn a blind eye to and ignore are the things that turn into a problem over time. When these issues are put in the dark and not tended to, they have the ability to grow out of proportion in the shadows, and end up causing troubles and anxiety later on.

What have I learned about my magic, or myself, this month?

The Lovers Rx – You have a weakness for ignoring your own needs and pretending they don’t exist, often blocking yourself from the self care you need most.

How have I grown within my magic throughout June?

Four of Wands – You are re-rooting, and thus becoming more appreciative of what is needed for your grounding and comfort. The importance of having that stability of being well grounded has been something you’ve been reminded of throughout the month of June, giving you a greater appreciation for the value of grounding exercises as a regular practice.

What am I asked to take to heart or embrace as I move on past June, through July and August?

Five of Cups atop Four of Cups Rx – Make sure that you are paying attention to the times your pessimism rears up, and being active in combating it so that it doesn’t get the upper hand in your life.

I had my yogurt and took my vitamins.  I also had a bit of a nap and had Jer with me when I went out to get a few things done.

Take a Breath

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Reverie Tarot - Two of PentaclesToday’s draw is the Two of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of juggling responsibilities, work/life balance, and prioritization.

The theme in the imagery in this card is very classic RWS in it s execution, and what I see as the message in this card is a reminder that there is a need to balance home with work. Balance accomplishments with guilt concerning how much you haven’t gotten done. Balance motivation with the need for rest.

Don’t push today.  You’ve had a rough week and it’s only Tuesday.  Three flat tires and a busted car window… four separate incidents in three days.  You deserve some time to take a breath.

: Self-Care for the New Moon…

Reverie TarotReading Summary: Although you’re really in need of some alone time in nature (Seven of Cups atop The Hermit), resist the urge to go it alone (Five of Swords) and take time for rest and recuperation instead (Four of Swords).

Take Away: Considering the events of the last three days where my car is concerned, now is not the time to go wandering off into the woods alone.

Better to do other restorative things and leave the alone time for when things aren’t so wrought with chaos, vandalism, and destruction.

🌑 New Moon in Cancer – June 2022

Today is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is about the medicine within, and brought to you by Ethony‘s Tarot by the Moon series.

New Moon in Cancer Oracle Reading with the Golden Light Oracle

How can I bring more balance to my home?

True Self – Look at the things that you pressure yourself to do, and connect with the motivations behind these things. Are you driving yourself on using others expectations? Or your own?

Take time to reconnect your motivations to your own personal values, principles, and the goals that match who you truly are instead of what others want you to be.

What old family beliefs need to be healed?

Coronation – You will never earn the “Atta Boy” that you crave from members of your family. Stop looking to your mother to give you the validation you desire. Your family is never going to give you that, and there are other places and people in your life that will.

What old family patterns need examining?

Kindness – A lack of kindness within your own family does not mean that you cannot be kind to yourself. Treat yourself as you treat others, as you deserve that much at the very least.

How can I be a more impactful community member?

Relax – There’s nothing more you need to do at this time in this area. Instead, your relationship with the community could be improved if you relaxed a little more.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Baptism – Cleanse yourself of negativity and step into the light. You need to focus more on the good in life and the positive, allowing optimism to flourish. Step out of the dark and wash away it’s cloying touch.

Dream Actualization

Today’s meditation was a nap. I laid down to do it and promptly fell asleep. I think it’s the heat. It makes me sluggish and tired.

The Pacific Northwest Tarot - King of WandsToday’s draw is the King of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s passions, enthusiasm, inspiration, motivations, and principles.

An alpha stands strong at the top of a large rock, surrounded by California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica). Here we see a symbolism of strength, power, calm objectivity, and regeneration.

The message in today’s card is an encouragement to seize control, and direct your dreams and goals forward where you want them to go. Doing nothing accomplishes nothing. Drawing others into your vision though, can help ensure success.

: About peace…

Divination with the Dreampunk Game CardsReading Summary: The sock puppet on the thumbs up in the center card reflects the colors in the “welcome aboard” card on the left. This speaks of a warm, fuzzy, comfortable feeling that comes with being welcomed, accepted, and embraced by others.

The cloud that the thumbs up comes out of in the center card then reflects into the coloring in the background of the card on the right, as does the earthen tones of the ground and volcano beneath that cloud with the earthy nature of the card on the right. This connection speaks of the things that bring us joy and stability in life, and how we can nurture them to help them grow and become strong.

Take Away: These cards indicate that peace is about acceptance, and finding those things that make you feel grounded and happy.
