Vintage Theatre Posters Tarot - The High Priestess

Today’s draw is The High Priestess card, which is traditionally a representation of intuition, secrets, sacred knowledge, mystery, the subconscious mind.

The High Priestess card has then been combined with an affirmation from Miracle Mantras Affirmation Deck, which says, “My relationships reflect the love I give myself.”

We see what we need in life, often without conscious thought of ever doing so. This is why those we engage in friendships in relationships with often appear to be the opposite of ourselves. They create the “puzzle pieces” that match up with our own, fitting together into a greater wholeness.

Therefore, I’m not entirely sure if our relationships actually reflect the love that we give ourselves (as stated in today’s affirmation prompt), or reflect the love we need but cannot give ourselves.

Either way, the message in today’s High Priestess card and affirmation is a reminder that the connections we make with others help to “round us out” into someone better than we are on our own. Sometimes how this is happening is hard to see clearly. These cards ask us to examine those relationships and take a moment to see and appreciate what it is that they contribute to our lives, our livelihoods, and our well-being.

3-Card Spread Prompt for July 13th : Self-care for this month’s new moon…

Oracle Reading with The Flower Oracle

Wanted – Rose

Perfection and acceptance. They are two very contradictory desires and it’s hard to accept that you can’t have both. The truth is, though, that you could if you were willing to redesign your definition of perfection. That you’re not willing to do this leaves both of these things out of your reach.

Needed – Daffodil

A new start and the patience needed to allow growth to develop at its own pace. Pride gets in the way of this patience, and is a bit motivator in your drive to push yourself too hard.

Accessible – Iris

Move forward one step at a time, even when doubts drag at you and obstacles hold you back. Trust in divine timing and let go of the need to force everything to move faster or to do more. That drive for control over everything leaves you unnecessarily vulnerable.

Pressed Pansy Flowers for Hearing the Heart More Clearly

The @ambitiouslyalexa July Journal Prompts

Prompt for July 13th : A comfort you’re allowing yourself

Tarot Reading with the Vintage Theatre Posters Tarot

Reading Summary: You’re giving yourself permission (Six of Pentacles) to not engage in stubbornly obsessive ways (Knight of Wands Rx) with those things that steal your time away from (Seven of Swords) the personal growth you wish to focus on (Page of Cups).

Take Away: You are prioritizing your emotional growth and understanding above your need to always be pushing for better and greater success.

In this way, you are essentially putting yourself first above your responsibilities and obligations, giving yourself the space to learn and better understand yourself rather than pushing this focus on growth away to deal with at a later time.

By allowing yourself the space for exploration and growth, you are not punishing yourself as severely as you would have in the past for putting success and ambition in other areas on the back burner.

Other elements included in this reading:
Black Spruce Needles to Boost Self-Confidence and Positive Thinking
Dried Rosebuds for Potential and Beauty Waiting to Unfold
Dried Purple Heather Flowers for Independence and Luck

Earthbound Tarot's Three of SwordsThe @GlitterbyInk #SeptemberSoul25 Challenge
Seeds of Intention Prompt for September 1st : Remember
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Three of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of depression, grief, and disappointments. This theme often seems strange to people, being that it is seated in the Swords suit (which is often all about intellect and the mind), but it is important to remember that how we react emotionally is often rooted in how we think and what expectations we create for ourselves before everything falls apart.

Just because you refuse to forget, doesn’t mean you can’t forgive.

Some things in life stay with you. They leave permanent scars, or at least those scars seem pretty permanent when you carry them with you for decades after the fact.

The thing is though, sometimes in order for healing to begin we have to forgive. That doesn’t mean we forget what happened; nor does it mean that we start the offending party over from square one and decide that they’ve changed… because it’s very possible (and more than likely that) they haven’t.

It simply means that we no longer allow them and their past actions to make us angry and upset anymore. I’m not talking about burying your feelings either, nor pretending that you’re not angry when you really are. These feelings are valid and understandable. I’m just saying that in order to heal the wounds, sometimes we have to eventually let the hurt and anger go.

I am personally guilty of not letting things go. Hell, my main abuser in my life growing up has passed away, which means there’s really no one left to be mad at, and yet it still took me a long time after his passing to finally let go of that anger.

Today’s message tells us that as long as you allow those that hurt you to occupy your mind and control your emotions, you will not be able to heal the wounds that they have created within you. Take as long as you need to rant and rage, but eventually start looking towards letting go instead.

@de_tarotjuf Time for Yourself
#detarotjufseptembertarotchallenge
Prompt for September 1st : What would I like to evoke in my life this month?

Earthbound Tarot's Two of Cups and The Fermentation Oracle ReadingReading Summary: There needs to be some changes (Transformation) in your relationships with others (Two of Cups) in order to make them feel more stable (Grounding).

Take Away: You have fallen into the old habit of taking everything on your own shoulders, and as a result you are carrying too much of the load where responsibilities are concerned in your relationships with others.

Instead of keeping these feelings to yourself and letting the overwhelm eat you up, you need to sort things out with them so that the responsibilities, workload, and stress involved is more evenly distributed.

Remember that your friends and loved ones -want- to help you and are eager to contribute. The unpleasant feelings you are picking up concerning this aren’t coming from them, bur rather from your own reluctance to both inconvenience them as well release that tight grip on everything a little bit.

#DiscordTarotholicsSep2025 Challenge
Prompt for September 1st : What is something new you should try this month?

Earthbound Tarot's Strength card and The Flower Oracle ReadingReading Summary: Work on convincing yourself (Strength) to hold out hope and believe that a solution is forthcoming (Snowdrop). Consider your next steps with care instead of jumping the gun (Dahlia).

Take Away: This has to do with your business and the worries going on right now in that corner.

This is a message that’s currently repeating in your readings because it’s the main focus right now in your life, and so the advice keeps coming to remind you over and again… to wait.  To be patient.  To not lose hope.  To not give up.

Don’t allow your impatience to get the best of you, or your anxiety to create doomsday scenarios in  your head.  Letting that negativity in right now will just scatter you all over the place, and be a detriment to your later recovery from this time of uncertainty and struggle.

As was brought up in the card of the day reading above today, I spent some time in communion with the memories of my abuser today, and touching upon my own efforts toward sustained forgiveness.
