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 – Ten of Wands Rx – Take care not to overload yourself on work or responsibilities. Remember that you have help and that you can take things one small thing at a time instead of doing everything at once.
Air – Page of Swords Rx – Take it easy this week. You can learn new things and explore new ideas later. Just take this week to rest instead of diving in headlong.
Water – August and Nine of Pentacles – Treat this week like it’s the slowest part of the year and take a break to appreciate all that you’ve done and how far you’ve come instead of trying to strive for more. You need to be focusing on rest this week mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Fire – Justice – If you ignore the warnings on this week’s reading and decide to charge forward, you will sacrifice with your creativity and spiritual practices. There are always consequences to the choices we make.
Waning – Coffin and Heart – You have put all your heart and soul into the holiday rush and, before that, caring for Ms B. Now it is time for these things to draw to a close. Release your heart from the ties that bind it to those things it has had to commit to over the past year. Free your heart to begin seeking it’s own desires again.
Waxing – Crossroads and Mountain – Remember that advice from the other day about taking things one small step at a time? Here it is again. A mountain is only a mountain when you look at its whole. If you take on the mountain one step at a time, it is no longer so intimidating. Piecemeal out the things you need to do instead of trying to do them all at once.Take Away –
