True Heart Intuitive Tarot

A Greater Depth of Understanding

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped (again).

Meraki Tarot 2nd Edition - The Hanged ManToday’s draw is the Hanged Man, which is traditionally a representation of taking time to look at new perspectives and gather additional data. It’s about taking a pause in order to see things from a different angle, and allowing yourself time to wrap your mind around different viewpoints and opinions, ideas and angles… to see things from a different view in order to find more depth and understanding.

It’s that increased depth and understanding that I see in the imagery of today’s card, with the universe of night in the body of the hanged man, and the sun shining behind his head.

When we pause and open our eyes and mind, we are able to see more. So many people don’t realize that they see the world only through one lens… one perspective. They don’t realize that this view is limited and only seeing a small sliver of the whole picture.  Today’s card encourages us to open up to that reality and strive to see more.  Can we see everything?  No.  But, it can allow us to see beyond our own closed view, and understand in more depth what is going on around us.

Questions for February 21st and 22nd

True Heart Intuitive Tarot - Six of Swords, Ace of Cups, Ace of Swords, Three of CupsWhat opportunity lies ahead that I have yet to explore?

Three of Cups and Ace of Swords – Time hanging out and chatting with friends. Brainstorming made fun. When you share with them, they can offer perspective as well as new ideas that would never even occur to you.

What should be my next step towards personal growth?

Ace of Cups atop Six of Swords – Let go of the idea that you have to be good at everything on the first try.

You are learning and growing, and that process of personal growth comes with a great deal of trial and error, and very little perfection.

Questions for February 20th and 21st

Meraki Tarot 2nd Edition - The Hanged Man, Seven of Cups, Queen of CupsHow is your self-love journey going lately?

Page of Cups – It is a work in progress. There’s a lot of ups and downs involved as you navigate, and learn how to deal with your resistance and emotions.

You still have a very long way to go, and need to stay focused on the emotional side of things as you work through those things that are a struggle to do and understand.

How can you improve upon your self-love journey?

Seven of Cups and The Hanged Man –  Stay open to new methods and opportunities to care for yourself.  It doesn’t have to be the same old thing every time, all the time.  Exploring new activities and self-care methods will allow you to have a larger array of tools at your disposal when you need a bit of extra care.

I took multiple naps today.  I can’t say I feel refreshed, but I definitely feel better than I did when first getting up this morning.

Accepting Guidance

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped because I was lazy and slept in late, then relaxed in bed fucking around on my phone instead of getting my ass in gear.

True Heart Intuitive Tarot and Thera-Pets Emotional Support Animal CardsToday’s draw is the Queen of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition.  Among other things, this often translates into themes to do with emotional support and advice from a trusted party that is easy to talk to.

What stood out to me the strongest in the imagery of this card is how the Queen holds her cup.  She holds it up like a torch, as if with her steps forward away from the comfort of her throne, that cup might light her way forward.

Combined with the Thera-Pets card drawn today, the message of today’s draw is that sometimes we all need a little extra guidance on our path.  This doesn’t make us less capable or even lacking, it means that we all have more to learn and will do so to get where we need and want to be in life.

The Radical Love Tarot Challenge Prompt
Topic:  Expansion
Question: How can I (in a healthy way) expand my awareness to be more in touch with others?

Kei Love Tarot

Reading Summary:  Use that skill you’ve honed all your life (Eight of Pentacles) to see things from different perspectives and angles (Hanged Man) and use it to find a more balanced approach (Two of Pentacles) that is less anxiety inducing (Nine of Swords Rx).

Take Away:  You know, I’ve never actually thought about this much before, but there is a fissure of anxiety involved for me when I am interacting with others. This goes beyond “likeability” and and instead deals with a feeling of… unpredictability.  I find people unpredictable. And I struggle with that… a lot.  I struggle with the fact I always feel no matter what I do, people are going to surprise me.  These cards are reminding me that those surprises are not always a bad thing, and I need to look at them as a way to learn more and see things differently so that I can balance out that anxiety with potential value.

#DiscordTarotolicsFeb2021 Challenge Prompt
Question:  How can I best approach setting healthier boundaries in my life?

True Heart Intuitive TarotReading Summary:  Allow more of a collaborative effort (Three of Pentacles) instead of trying to do everything myself (Nine of Pentacles). Your determination to go solo (Nine of Pentacles) is blinding you (Eight of Swords) to the potential of what is possible (Queen of Wands).

Take Away: This is about delegation, and about more evenly distributing my work load with others so that things are more equal and balanced between us.

These boundaries aren’t about others, but about myself and making sure that I’m not overworking myself. It’s about allowing things to spread evenly, and how by spreading the work load evenly, it opens up the potential for new possibilities.

Confession.  I am writing this the day after… and I don’t remember most of yesterday.  I know I spent time with Gideon in play and I really enjoyed the down time with him.  I know that I slept in.  It’s just… everything else that appears to be missing.
