Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Denizens of Earth Tarot - Ten of Air - Ten of Swords

Today’s draw is the Ten of Swords (Air), which is traditionally a representation long journeys coming to an end, painful endings, lessons learned the hard way, deep wounds, and sometimes can indicate loss or betrayal.

The Ten of Air has then been combined with an affirmation from the Affirmators! Evening Mantras deck, which says, “it doesn’t matter how old I am or what’s going on in my life — epiphany is always waiting just around the corner (which is why I guess it’s good to sleep with the night-light).”

It’s important to remember that all endings are also new beginnings. When we let go of something that has been a part of our life, it opens up room for something new to take its place.

This is where new ideas and epiphanies take root and are given the space to grow.

Consider, for example, the aloe plant. It propagates by “birthing” babies at its base. Too many babies at its base means that the main plant may die off, creating a cluster of plants that essentially kill off its past to make room for future growth.

The message in today’s cards is a reminder that it’s okay to mourn what you’re losing, as long as you don’t hold onto it past its usefulness. You have to let it go in order to make room for something better to slip in and take its place.

Tarot Reading with The Bone Tarot and The Supreme's Small City Oracle

Venus enters Taurus: What brings me comfort, pleasure, and joy?

Percolate, Two of Wands, Straight Ahead

It brings me comfort to have time to percolate (think things over and consider in-depth).

It brings me pleasure to be offered choices, instead of being backed into a corner where it feels that there are none.

It brings me joy when the path that feels right for me is clear and easy to discern, without winding turns that create moments of self doubt.

Looking Back: What am I proud of myself for navigating in the past month?

Ace of Swords atop Ace of Wands Rx; Off Season

Allowing myself the time and space to think and plan, and work on the strategic part of things, instead of jumping into new projects to distract myself from the issues at hand.

I’ve taken this business slump as an opportunity to study, learn, and improve instead of an opportunity to hide from my problems.

Tarot Reading with the Denizens of Earth Tarot

How can you connect more strongly with the invigorating energy of Spring’s arrival?

The Empress atop Ten of Earth; Ten of Water

If you foster a nurturing attitude toward your needs and wants, you will in turn feel like you have everything you could need or want at your fingertips.

Abundance comes from a place of grounded nurturing, not self directed cruelty or abuse.

What do you need to focus on for self-care for the upcoming full moon?

Six of Water and Four of Air Rx

Look back on those things in your past that have brought you joy, and instead of falling into new habits of languishing in your free time, revisit these past activities and rekindle your passion for them.

Walks and photography with real camera. Time in nature and visits to stony beaches, digging in the dirt and noticing the little details of nature like the intricacies of moss and lichen. Rest isn’t always about sleep, it’s about those things that rekindle your inner spark.

Other elements included in this reading:
Staghorn Sumac for Connecting with Nature and the Wild Within
Black Spruce Needles to Boost Self-Confidence and Positive Thinking
Japanese Cherry Leaf as a Reminder of Life’s Fleeting Moments

I made sure to get some time with Gideon today. The day felt like a big ass exercise in frustration, but I managed to get some time with him, which helped balance things out a bit.
