Today’s meditation was just under twelve minutes long and was a guided meditation from the Calm app with an interval timer added in for my piriformis and forearm flexor stretching.
The topic of today’s meditation was… *takes a minute to wrack his brain*
Huh. I have no idea. Not even with the graphic to the right as a memory prompt. I know I listened to it, but I really can’t remember what it was about. Usually this means that it was a message that I didn’t really relate to. That said, I did do my meditation at least, yeah?
Today’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of moving forward with direction and a plan in place to guide you. The Two of Wands just before this card is all about making that plan, and here in the Three of Wands we now see the plan moving into action.
What stood out to me the strongest in the imagery of this card today is the little ships out on the water. (And the green and red of the guy’s clothing, which was a bit of a Christmas-y surprise for a non-holiday deck, and inspired a little heart lightening Christmas music listening earlier in the day.)
The holiday theme inspiration aside, the little boats feel like a message to make sure that as I am taking things in small, bite sized amounts. We all know that I suck at just taking it easy and not doing anything, but even if I decide to do a little bit here and there… the key is to do a little bit, and not get wrapped up in things that will only cause me stress during a time when I’m trying to rest and recover.

Question: What do I need to be more grateful for?
Reading Summary: You need to be more grateful that I have all the time I need (Seven of Pentacles) in order to learn to think of (Page of Wands) my work differently (Ace of Swords), as well as shifting how I go about doing it (Eight of Pentacles) in a way that incorporates more of my spirituality in my inner self into the process (High Priestess).
Take Away: That’s a lot of cards to say that the only deadlines in my work and my business are those that I set for myself. Although, it’s true that this is something I need to acknowledge and be more grateful for, and to do this I need to give myself more space. Allow for that time needed to find something better and connect to my work in new ways.
The cards here, ultimately are indicating that there is far more to my work than just work, and I need to be aware and open to the fact that if I ease off on the pressure I am so often pushing onto myself, I will be allowed to find these hidden facets.

Question: What gift does the Universe have for me in the year ahead?
Reading Summary: Less worry (Nine of Swords Rx) and less uncertainty (The Moon Rx) when going through changes (Death).
Side Note: The Nine of Swords and Moon actually landed on the table perfectly in place and reversed, but I like the pretty imagery on the cards too much to photograph them that way. *LOL*
Take Away: I’ve mentioned recently in a previous post that I often struggle with change, even when that change is good and/or healthy for me. The cards here are indicating that the gift that the Universe has for me in the year ahead is not so much that there will be less change, but that I will learn to deal with change better with less worry and uncertainty to hold me back and make the process unnecessarily stressful.
