📆 Transitioning from May to June

Month End Check-In Tarot Reading with the The Lost Tarot and Coastal Curiosities Oracle

Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.

The High Priestess Rx atop The Empress, Reward – Your intuition and self care are not on the same page. There is reward in acknowledging this and realizing that they do not need to be on opposing sides but can work together in coexistence for something healthier.

The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.

The Star atop Death Rx, Roam – Don’t let lack of Hope create stagnancy in your life. Depression is keeping you from moving forward, even at a slow pace.

What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.

King of Wands and Unearth – You are seeking to reconnect with your passions, motivation, and enthusiasm. It has been buried beneath the depression for a long time.

Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.

The Fool atop Two of Swords, Establish – You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Decisions have to be made, no matter how much you don’t want to. Be an Adult.

The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.

Queen of Coins atop Six of Swords, Awaken – Wake up to the fact you just can’t hide from everything all the time. This depression this time around made a runner out of you. Connect to the nurturing, grounding influence of nature to bring you back to self.

The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.

Five of Wands and Shell – Remember that not everyone you open up to is going to show true colors to be in conflict with your own values. Disagreements happen, but they don’t have to turn into distance and isolation.

Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.

Five of Cups atop Two of Cups Rx, Robust atop Observe – Your friends and loved ones are there to help and support you. Even when you can’t see them clearly, they are standing in the wings watching and waiting to step in and help.

A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.

King of Swords and Terrarium – Don’t allow yourself to become so judgmental or harsh tongued that you close yourself off to the rest of the world.

Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.

Ten of Swords and Crystal – Use your connection to the earth and nature to heal your wounds and draw you out of the last dregs of your depression. You are at the end, and that connection will give you the boost you need.

DECKS USED: THE LOST TAROT, COASTAL CURIOSITIES ORACLE

Fertilized Roots

Today’s meditation was skipped (again).

The Lost Tarot - Two of WandsToday’s draw is the Two of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of planning, direction, looking ahead, and future planning that often involves strategy and decision making.

A child playing dress up as the knight he’ll some day become. That is what I see in the imagery for today’s card.

We all had dreams and aspirations when we were young.  Often, they change as we grow older. Our dreams to become princesses and space men turn into more practical things with age.  That’s what growing up is all about.

Today’s card is a reminder of those long ago dreams. It’s about where we come from… and where we’re going.  It’s about looking at those dreams of childhood and acknowledging that they are the fertilizer of the roots from which we have grown, and appreciate how they have influenced who we have become.

Questions for May 17th thru 19th

Tarotgazing Deck and The Hero's Journey Dream OracleWhat desires and drives have escaped my control?

Six of Vessels and The Thin Thin Veil – The influences of your past are still dictating a great deal of your current behavior, proving that when someone passes on, their influences continue to remain for as long as you allow them to.

How can I develop self-mastery?

The Star and You Are Invited – Work at lifting yourself up. Optimism and positivity can give you the strength to break through recalcitrant behavior and join the world more fully. This in turn will give you greater control over your unhealthy habits.

What limits does reality impose on my dreams?

The Tower, The Call atop Be Reborn Daily – Reality will continue to tear things down so that you have to rebuild them into something better. Sometimes this is going to impose limits on your dreams, and at other times it will be a catalyst to changing your dreams entirely into something new and better.

The #ConnectWithYourDeckChallenge Prompt by E Roebuck-Jones
Questions for May 17th and 18th

The Lost TarotHow can I say no to others and be kind?

Be sensitive to their fears (The Star) and use the tools at your disposal (The Magus) to turn around the rejection into something new (Death).

Build hope instead of just shooting someone down on the spot. You can always offer a different perspective or a new opportunity out of a rejection instead of just leaving it as a rejection in and of itself.

What makes it difficult for me to say no to others?

It’s hard for you, in new relationships and friendships (Ace of Cups), to be able to predict how people are going to react (Wheel of Fortune), and you often then worry that if you say no it will turn into a huge chaotic mess of a problem (The Blasted Tower).

This is not usually a problem until you are feeling vulnerable, because during those times conflict isn’t something that you’re particularly prepared to deal with gracefully.

Daily Self Kindness

I’m still playing catch-up and like the last couple of posts, I don’t remember what I might have done as self-kindness during this time, but I know that it was during my time off so I at least got some good rest.
