Month End Check-In with the Tarot of the Absurd

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

Three of Blades – Disappointed. Yeah. Unfortunately there’s been some conflict with friends recently and disappointment pretty much covers it. Your brain keeps poking at your emotions, trying to wring out logic from them, and have managed to sort through things, but it’s left you feeling disappointed and sad.

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

Strength – Let go of the need to manipulate and “fix” the situation. It’s not going to work and you’re going to end up hurt if you keep trying.

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

Two of Sticks – New direction cleansed of imbalance.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

Ten of Swords – Seeing this as “the end” is not healthy or constructive. Although you don’t need to fix things, you do need to let them lie rather than playing “clean up on aisle 3”.

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

Knight of Blades – Ambition and drive are on your side. Don’t allow the current setbacks to bank those fires.

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

The Sun – Losing something that you perceive as happiness hurts. The winds of change can take these things away and leave you bereft. Look to past experiences and see if this one can help heal some of those that might be along a similar vein in the past.

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

Six of Cups – Not all of it was bad. Make sure you are remembering and connecting with the good memories too. It helps even out the imbalances.

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

The Star – Don’t blindly put all your eggs (or faith in others) in one basket. Closing your eves and running ahead while ignoring what’s going on in front of you is a bad idea.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

The High Priestess atop Nine of Sticks – Better understanding of threats and challenges to what matters to you through a combination of intuition and experience.

[Messages from Spirit World, Mind’s World, and Physical World have been skipped this time around.]

Side Note – Although this was supposed to be a personal check in with myself, it turned into a reading about a specific, ongoing situation due to the fact I was trying to pull my cards while talking to my partner about that situation.

Tarot of the Absurd's Ace of Wands and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Ace of Sticks (Wands) combined with the affirmation “You are enough as you are today.”

The illustration in this Ace of Wands speaks of the passion in caring for oneself, of cradling that inner light within you and making sure that you are being cared for and loved.

With the affirmation, it is a reminder that sometimes the spark of one’s passions isn’t projected outward, but inward. Sometimes, there is a need to love yourself most, and let everything else take a back burner as you turn your focus inward.

When you do that? You become your passion, and you kindle that passion within you that can then be fostered and grow into something greater.

Dark Fae Tarot's Beltane Oracle Reading with the Seasons of the Witch Beltane Oracle

The buds which are flowering in my garden.

Boundaries – You are in the process of reestablishing boundaries that have become soft over time, seeking out where the lines now need to be drawn and getting them fitted into place.

Celebrating and embracing the joy of friends & family.

Honey – Take care not to be pulled into troubles you need to be no part of. The sweetness of these relationships in your life can sour quickly to something painful and bitter if you do.

Taking in the fresh dew of Spring mornings.

Chant – It is when you connect most strongly to who you are that others are drawn to you most strongly.

Everything that I am releasing as the days grow longer.

Goddess – Let go of self doubts and connect with that depth of self within you. Your inner self, that part of you that is very uniquely you.  The restraints against it need releasing so that it can shine more brightly.

Daily Self Kindness

This post is a catch-up post, and I’m not entirely sure what my self-kindness was for the day.
