Star Clusters Tarot - Queen of Wands

Today’s draw is the Queen of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s passion, drive, willpower, determination, values, and principles. This often translates into themes that have to do with being supportive of others projects and passions, or searching for inner truth within your own values and principles.

Curate a collection of your interests, passions, and desires; picking and choosing what it is that you add to your collection, rather than just dumping everything in without thought of the consequences.

Treat your interests like a museum.

When museums create their displays, they don’t put on display everything that they have in their possession. They pick and choose what they put out for the public to see.

In this same way, it’s important that we take care to pick and choose what interest we decide to pursue. These interests shape our lives, and become pieces of who we are. If we have too many of them on our plate at once, we never really get to fully explore any of them… and more often than not end up overwhelmed and burnt out.

That is the last lie that we tell ourselves before burnout, after all. The lie that we can just add one or two more things to our plate of responsibilities and interests and things to be done… and will still be able to handle it just fine.

No. We won’t.

The message in today’s Queen of Wands and “the last lie” prompt his a reminder that there’s only so much time in a day and only so much energy in a body. Pick and choose where you spend your energy instead of trying to spread yourself too thin, and as a result you will more greatly enjoy those interest and passions you put your energy into.

@lightningwildflower‘s April Energetic Shifts Challenge
Check-in Prompt for April 11th : What is my energy level telling me today?

Cartomancy Reading with the Radio Cat Playing Cards Black Edition

Reading Summary: You want to stay home today (Four of Clubs), and you accept that just because you don’t like the consequences of the choices in front of you (Five of Diamonds) doesn’t mean that you don’t have choices (Seven of Hearts).

Take Away: Just because there’s no harmony (in the 7❤️) to be found within you concerning the options you have to choose from, doesn’t mean that you still don’t have choices you can make.

• You could stay home and relax in the nice stable security of a familiar space, wallowing in that stability and enjoy some stagnancy.

• You could head out and do what you need to do today, including the travel and whatever chores there are to be done up north.

If you do the first option, you upset someone you care about and give in to unhealthy habits. If you do the latter choice, you deal with being tired and in pain, but you get some stuff done that needs to be done.

Neither one sounds appealing, but you already know which one you’re going to choose.

Your energy level for today is telling you that there are no real satisfactory options available to you at this time, and you need to make your choice based on the healthiest choice available to you, with consequences considered.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Lodgepole Pine for Resilience, Growth, and Renewal
Beech Pods for Realizations that Foster Personal Growth
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

Philosophical Questions for April 8th and 15th

Tarot Reading with the Star Clusters Tarot and The Essence of Three Oracle

What is Divinity?

Lemon, Four of Swords, Eucalyptus

Divinity is “God / The Universe” at rest and dreaming.

[Note the sleeping individual in the Four of Swords and the sleeping koala in the Eucalyptus card, combined with the “no one’s watching” from the Lemon card and the parrot seeing the world as “upright while upside down”. ]

These cards introduce the idea that our reality isn’t real. That instead of reality being a material, objective world, it is a subjective, cosmic dream occurring within a universal consciousness (God / The Universe). This is called the Dreaming God Theory.

Thus, and answering the question with this theory, the cards are saying that divinity is the dreaming “God / The Universe” that creates our reality within its dreamscape.

What existed before our universe was created?

Lemongrass, The Moon, Rosemary

These cards continue to expand upon the Dreaming God Theory from above by saying that before our universe was created there were many gods working to together (the “successful teamwork” and bee hive in the Lemongrass card); and that a debate over the creation of life (the weeping “goddess” toying with a baby in its carriage) ensued due to uncertainty that arose over repeated past efforts always leading to the same results (well trodden path” in the rosemary card combined with the sideways look from the owl on that card).

By this interpretation, it means that prior to our universe being created by a dreaming “God”, there were many such gods, all working together to create life; perhaps experimenting with how to create sustainable life.

Clear Quartz Point for boosting Mental Clarity
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

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

Cozy Fairy Tarot - Knight of PentaclesToday’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of an active beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home life, and the physical world. This often translates into themes that have to do with taking bold actions and making positive progress in these areas.

Sweet and cute or full of warts, the stuff that comes even while you’re away has to rear its head eventually.  You took a lot of time off this month, and the time to play catch-up is starting to creep up on you out of the weeds.

Start now.  Just a little each day will help you get there with far less struggle than if you hold off and try to do it all at once later in the week. Just a little each day will be a little less you have to do when crunch time comes.

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2023 Challenge Prompt
Prompt for March 26th
: Do Spread 3 – The month of March is now coming to an end! This spread is to help you find your footing as you move into the spring season ahead.

The Essence of Three OracleWhat to leave behind along with the winter’s chill.

Black Pepper atop Sandalwood – Don’t trust fate and your guides to always be there to save your ass. You have to think for yourself as well, and make sure you are looking before you leap.

What to take with you into the spring.

Bergamot – Gratitude is an important part of your path. Make sure you are not neglecting a mindset of gratitude for the things that you have and those things you have accomplished. Be grateful for not just those around you, but also for yourself and your own skills and abilities that have brought you to where you are now.

What needs exposed to the light and the world this spring.

Melaleuca atop Benzoin – Make sure you are putting the housekeeper to specific tasks each time she visits instead of letting her dictate her own work. There’s much that needs to be done and when you steer the boat, things get done faster and better than when you let her do things without your input.

What needs kept close for further contemplation and meditation.

Clary Sage – Let yourself sink into your joy and enjoy it instead of trying to push it away.

@Lionharts #TheMarchTarot Wander Lust Challenge Prompt
Question for March 26th
: In what way or area(s) have I found myself this month?

Cozy Fairy Tarot - Page of Pentacles, Temperance, Six of Cups, Queen of SwordsReading Summary: Moderation (Temperance) does not always have to mean going slow (Knight of Pentacles Rx). Sometimes it means taking a pause to look back at what you’ve done in the past (Six of Cups), and using that input to foster better and more logical methods going forward (Queen of Swords) instead of rushing in.

Take Away: So often when you see themes of moderation in your life, it feels like a sort of restraint that is placed upon you.  This month has helped to teach you that moderation is not always about going slow.  Sometimes?  It’s just about making sure you’re going in the right direction and using methods that are tried and true instead of going off impulsively and trying to reinvent the wheel in the process.
