❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

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 Oculus & Serpentibus Tarot and Tempus Fugit Lenormand

EarthPage of Wands – Don’t worry if you don’t know everything; that’s supposed to be part of the fun.

AirSix of Pentacles (tipped right) – Generosity is going to be more of an obstacle or detriment than it will be a boon this week. It might be best to skip it where you can.

WaterThe Magician – You have the tools you need to keep your emotions in balance. Gideon is on vacation, not disappeared from your life. He’s within an easy reach when you need him, as is your meditation practice, playing in the soil in your garden, and other such tools that help you stay on an even keel.

FireQueen of Wands Rx – Focus on yourself. It’s probably not the best time to be nurturing others through your own stable presence and support. You are the one that is going to need support this week, so make sure that you are allowing others to help you with that.

WaningMountain and Rider – This week is not the time to be riding full-bore into your struggles and problems. It’s okay to let your hurdles percolate a little bit this week and not make much progress on them.

WaxingBouquet and Ring – Let others make promises this week. Enjoy the connections you have with others and remember that these connections do not come with a forced obligation of generosity attached.

Take Away – Focus on yourself and let the things that feel like challenges sit on the back burner. You need to allow yourself to have the support and attention you need instead of allowing others to monopolize your time and attention.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Rosebud for Potential and Beauty Waiting to Unfold
Clear Quartz for boosting Mental Clarity and Amplifying Energy
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Morning Bonus Read – Monthly Key Spread

Monthly Key Spread - Tempus Fugit Lenormand

Key to Your Heart: What will Guide you to make decisions that are aligned with your heart and your truths this month?

The Whip and The Book – Make sure you are focusing on getting things in order and not screwing off or fucking around this month.  Although the work side of things is not yet upon you, it’s time to start getting your ducks in a row when it comes to making a plan, detailing out what needs to be done, and gearing up for the mindset needed to dive into holiday prep.

[Side Note: Whenever I see the whip and the book together, it makes me think of those teacher nuns with the rulers and the knuckle slaps? No, this is not something I’ve personally experienced, but it very much is what comes to mind when these two cards come together.|

Anchor: What will ground you in the face of anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and existential dread in general?

Feminine Energy – Look to the women in your life for support when you are feeling overwhelmed or stressed. L is still around and willing to help in any way she can, but you have to actually be willing to reach out and ask for that help.

Star Wand: What accelerates your magic, creativity, and manifestation powers?

The Letter – You need to make that list that you wrote about the other day. Fill it with your accomplishments, with what you’ve done to improve yourself and your life this year, what you’ve overcome, and the good decisions you have made.

Blessings from the Stars: The Universe has got your back – how will you be supported this month?

The Clover – Luck is on your side.  It might come as a “flash in the pan”, but good fortune will be there for you when you need it most.

One Trick Up Your Sleeve: A life saving idea or inspiration for any unexpected challenge or difficult moments?

The Fox – You were blessed with a quick and clever mind.  Use it. Pay attention to what’s going on around you, keep in mind the motives of others, and use your cunning mind to stay engaged… and you’ll be fine.

Emergence Pt 1: What is emerging within you / within your reality right now?

The Ring – Commitments and responsibilities are starting to rise up. Make sure you’re not taking on more than you can handle or end up painting yourself into a corner.

Emergence Pt 2: What are you expanding towards?

The Dog – A blast from the past is coming.  This isn’t someone with negative motives or motivations, but rather someone you knew and was a friend returning…. or rather, you are returning to their lives rather than the other way around (although it might feel as if they are coming into your life).
