Doing Too Much Lenormand Reading

Doing Too Much Lenormand Reading with the Dreaming Lenormand

Why do I have so much to do?

Ring and Key – Because you feel that the key to success lies in the responsibilities and obligations you pile up on yourself. Thus you continue to pile on more and more of them in order to push yourself towards the success you want to achieve.

What prevents me from lightening my load?

Lily and Book – Past experience has shown you that this method works again and again.  You worry that that means it’s the only method that will and struggle to see past what this past research/experience has taught you.

What would it be like if I did less?

Rider and Birds – At least at first, it would feel like you are losing your grip on the organization and order that you’ve worked so hard to build in your life.  In time, this chaos would become the new norm tho, and you would learn to adapt to it and continue moving forward.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

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?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Tarot Vintage and Dreaming Lenormand

Earth – The Fool Rx – Stay grounded and don’t do anything foolish. Pay attention to the world around you.

Air – Justice – I think before you act this week, for the repercussions of not doing so could be far more than you’re prepared to deal with.

Water – The High Priestess – Remember that your emotions are intrinsically tied in with your intuition, and vice versa. What effects one will affect the other as well.

Fire – Seven of Swords – Potential betrayal is coming, this is why you have to make sure that you’re paying attention to the world around you right now. You can’t circumvent what you don’t see coming.

Waning – Book and Child – Now is not the time for sating the whims of your curiosity.  Keep your impulsivity in check this week and you can play “what’s that” and “where’s it go” later on at some point.

Waxing – Boutique and Cross – Accept that you’re not always going to be into being around others.  Sometimes being social is just too much, and it’s okay at those times to step away.

White Space Lenormand Reading

White Space Lenormand Reading with the Ink Sketch Lenormand

Photo Album: Something important that you have forgotten.

Sun and Stork – You need to reexamine what really makes you happy.  Not what you think is supposed to make you happy, but what really makes you smile and feel good and happy on the inside. You have a habit of getting too caught up in the rigors of responsibility and forget to stay in touch with what actually brings you happiness.

Baseball Bat: Something simple that you can still wield.

Fish and Anchor – You have the ability to choose not to be weighed down by responsibilities, and the ability to let go and go with the flow instead.  It’s not as hard as you think to just loosen up and let things move at their own pace instead of constantly tangling yourself up in the expectations you put upon yourself.

Violin: Something connecting you to something larger than yourself.

Letter and Man – This is Gideon. It’s about the fact that he is constantly reaching for you and there for you, allowing you to lean on him and sharing honestly with you what he thinks and how he feels from one day to the next. Through the example he sets in this area, you strive to be a better person yourself.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Likely Tarot and Ink Sketch Lenormand

Earth – Two of Cups – Focus on family this week. Not family by blood, but more specifically your chosen family. There’s a lot to get done on the trip you’re embarking on in the week ahead and you need to keep your focus on what matters.

Air – Four of Wands – Seek out moments of stability within those times that you feel most comfortable and linger in them. You can carry that peace and stability with you in small ways, when things are more hectic or chaotic.

Water – Six of Swords atop Eight of Wands – Don’t get flustered when others try and rush you along. It’s going to happen, just be ready for it and do the best you can.  Remember that the best you can is enough.

Fire – Knight of Pentacles – Remember that they can’t force you to hurry up if you need to go at your own pace. Don’t allow their pushing and prodding to stress you out.  Just keep going and you’ll get there.  They can wait while you catch up.

Waning – Snake and Stork – Move yourself and others away from the “snake in the grass” trying to take away your “good thing”.  Someone you visit along the path of this trip does not have anyone’s interests at heart but their own.

Waxing – Lady and Whip – Help Ms B feel like she’s in charge and is calling all the shots. She’s feeling especially powerless at the moment and could use the empowerment that allowing her to hold the reigns can give.

Heron Energy Lenormand Reading

Heron Energy Lenormand Reading with the Magickal Folklore Lenormand

How can I ground myself in order to better navigate my emotions?

Bear and Man – This is Gideon, and the advice here is to allow him to have that place in your life as your protector. He is fiercely protective over you and provides you with a safe place to let yourself be vulnerable.  Ground yourself in that sense of safety and protection he provides so that you can allow your emotions to flow more freely.

Where am I being called toward more reflection?

Ship and Birds – Later this month you have a trip coming up that needs a good deal of planning and preparation.  Make sure that you are putting in your due diligence to make sure that the trip starts off well and that there is as little disorganization and chaos as possible.

How might expanding outwards towards others lighten the weight I’m carrying?

Bouquet and Fox – Those you are close to can assist you in weeding out others with not so pure of intentions.  Listen to your loved one’s sage council and take a moment to try and see what they see, for they are trying to warn you about someone who does not have your best interests at heart.

What needs to be shed to make new growth possible?

Heart and Stars – You have a habit of giving people with bad intentions too much of your hope and faith.  That faith in humanity and the goodness of everyone can become a problem, as it ends up knocking you down again and again. It’s time to shed the naivety that ties your hands and leaves you too hopeful for goodness from corners where there’s none to spare.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Oh, What a Wild Life! Tarot and Magickal Folklore Lenormand

Earth – King of Swords – Be decisive and make good decisions concerning your finances this week. Keep your eye on the prize and strategize with a leaning towards stability and security. Don’t act on emotion but think things through instead.

Air – Five of Pentacles – Scarcity issues are going to be a bit of a problem this week. Remember that a great deal of that is “in your head” and not realistic or reality based. The rest of it can be dealt with by following the advice in this reading’s Earth position.

Water – Four of Wands – Savor all the things that make you feel “at home” both in your home and concerning those in your life as well. It’s okay to wallow a bit in that sense of comfort and belonging you get from those people in your life, as well as in the environment you’ve made for yourself.

Fire – Eight of Pentacles – Put your nose to the grindstone this week in preparation for what is soon to come. Time off is coming, and business is going to continue to slow down as summer approaches. You have things you can be doing to make this go more smoothly, so do them.

Waning – Tree and House – Don’t worry so much on how everyone else is doing right now. Focus on yourself instead.

Waxing – Scythe and Child – Nip moments of childishness in the butt this week.

Take Away – Make sure you are making stable and strategic decisions with your money this week and don’t let your inner narrative fool you into panicking about what you -don’t- have right now. Just keep moving forward with your business and work on what needs to be done while leaning into those that give you comfort.
