These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.
The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?
Earth – Seven of Pentacles and The Closed Book – Rome wasn’t built in a day and a lot of planning and learning went into the process long before the first brick was laid. You know what you want out of your money, your hard work, and your health. All three have a long term element and you need to make sure you don’t get out of touch with the elements that make up the progress. Take a look this week and make sure you know what’s going on in these areas, dig in and learn what you need to know, find what’s hidden that you don’t know yet.
Air – Eight of Wands and The Sword – Do your due diligence and do it now. Do not be aggressive this week in the pursuit of the knowledge you need, but the time to sit back and wait is now at an end and it’s time to be proactive and get gather up that knowledge so that you can use it to your advantage moving forward.
Water – The Fool, The Bridge atop The Knight – You may be feeling all kinds of vulnerable and not at all steady of foot this week, but that’s okay. It’s natural to feel that way when starting anew after a time trapped in the dark. Just make sure you have your armor in place should stray arrows come your way while trying to work out your path forward. Don’t take those unintended jabs personally. It’s not about you.
Fire – Six of Wands atop The Tower, The Dove In Mourning – You’re going to ACE this restructuring. Don’t worry about the chaos so much, because it’s just the chaos of change. Adaptation is your strong suit and you’re going to come through the changes going on with flying colors.
Waning – Radical Self-Love – You have spent the past week relaxing and giving yourself time away from the business. This was time you needed to heal and find your center. Now as you move into the week ahead, it’s time to find your footing and get back into the swing of things once more.
Waxing – Circles – As much of this reading has already indicated, there’s some chaos going on in relation to the business and you’re going to need to focus this week to make sure you gather all the information you need to make educated decisions on how to move forward.
Take Away – It’s time to get back in the swing of things. There’s a lot of changes going on right now that you need to catch up on this week. Make the calls that need to be made, and work out a plan, but make sure that you gather as much information as you can so that you’re well informed and prepared to adapt appropriately. During this process there may be a few “emotional hiccups” due to feeling a bit vulnerable (possibly due to either depression or the drop?). Keep in mind that these hiccups are you taking things personally that are not about you at all. Let them go instead of letting them in.
Today’s meditation was just a bit over seventeen minutes long and was the third installment of the mantra course on the Oak app. I included the interval timer for my piriformis stretches as well.
