A Little Wallow Time is Okay

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a comment

Today’s meditation was skipped. Yes, the cards continue to tell me that I need to meditate more.

Victorian Romance Tarot's Nine of Cups and It’s Going To Be Okay 2024 Day-to-day Calendar By Kate AllanToday’s draw is the Nine of Cups combined with the affirmation “Lets sit down, drink some tea, and then we’ll figure this out.”

You don’t have to rush into every new problem and tackle it head on as soon as it comes to your attention.  Sometimes? It can wait.

Sometimes, a little self care and contentment can come first.  Don’t let taking some time for that… for you… make you feel guilty. That problem will still be there once you’ve had some time to wallow in a bit of contentment.

Questions for February 22nd thru 24th

Romeo and Juliet Love OracleWhat are my low vibrational beliefs about myself?

Rosaline – You feel that you are too serious and  unnecessarily judgmental, and thus too boring or repellent to others.

How have these beliefs sabotaged my relationship with myself?

Capulet atop Confession of Love – These beliefs continually justify your self-cruelty and abuse. Instead of giving yourself love, you treat yourself more harshly than warranted as a form of punishment.

How can I release these negative beliefs about self?

Fake Death – Fake it til you make it. Even if you don’t believe you deserve it, treat yourself kindly anyway. Pretend they like you, because they probably do and sooner or later you’ll believe it if you just keep working on it.

Question for February 24th : What do you need to focus on for self-care for this full moon?

Victorian Romance Tarot - Seven of Swords, King of Cups, Four of CupsSeven of Swords – Letting go of untenable situations. Now is an excellent time for the magic of letting go. If something isn’t working? Stop trying to make it work. Just let it go and move on to better things.

King of Cups – Gideon. More time with Gideon is a very good idea. He helps balance you out and his presence is a steadying factor in your life that helps you in working through your emotions.

Four of Cups – Meditate regularly.  When the world is whipping around you in a chaotic spin, it’s the meditation that helps you find your center. You need to meditate regularly to reap its benefits, though.

I spent a good part of my day in a Benadryl haze.  Fortunately, my couch is comfortable, since I spent a great deal of time on it today.

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.

The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Victorian Romance Tarot and Under the Roses Lenormand

Earth – Strength – You will be able to get others on board with what you want more easily this week if you make sure to look at things from their perspective instead of your own when trying to persuade them.

Air – Ten of Swords – All is not lost, even when things look like they’re at their worst. If you fall down, just take a moment to catch your breath and allow others to soothe your wounds before trying to rise again.

Water – The Star – Optimism is an important element to keeping you out of depression’s pit. Don’t allow your emotions this week to pull you out of hope’s reach.

Fire – Temperance Rx – You may need to push a little bit to get caught up after the setbacks from last week.

Waning – Child and Dog – J needs a little time on his own to figure out what he’s going to do. Give him the space he needs this week. He’ll be back when he’s ready.

Waxing – Anchor and Mice – Things are going to be feeling a bit less stable this week, as stress and other influences eat away at your feelings of stability and security.

Take Away – Don’t let the need to push and get things done disrupt your efforts to keep yourself uplifted.  Optimism and positivity have a valuable place in your life to help you find balance… even during times when  you need to work a bit more and push a bit harder.

The Hard Way

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Victorian Romance Tarot - The HierophantToday’s draw is the Hierophant card, which is traditionally a representation of the teachers of tradition. This involves organizations like churches and those that work there like priests, ministers, etc as well as wise women and wise men, spiritual guides, grandparents teaching family traditions, deans or principles that teach school traditions, etc.

What catches my attention in the imagery of today’s card is that it almost looks like the monk is helping to hold up the man at his side.   I’m sure it’s unintentional, but that is what it looks like to me today.

This makes the card feel like it’s saying that sometimes you have to learn things the hard way… and that’s okay.

Philosophical Question for February 22nd:What is love?

Eros et Psyche OracleLove gives us a whole roller coaster of emotions. Note that, even in the Doubt and Indecision card that the figures are still holding hands.

Sometimes we can’t all be on the same page all the time, and sometimes everything is wine and roses. Love is when we stick with others through it all (The Lady Who Waits)… the good and the bad (contrast between the Doubt and Indecision card and the Joy and Jubilation card).

They call the beginning of a relationship “the honeymoon phase” for a reason.  But in love?  Not everything can be good and happy all the time.  These cards indicate that love is about the good and the bad, and being together through it all instead of letting go and walking away.

Questions for February 22nd and 24th

Victorian Romance TarotHow can I more clearly convey my love to others?

Five of Cups and Page of Wands – Put away your pessimism and negativity so that they can better enjoy their time with you and get to know you better.

How do I receive love from others?

The Hanged Man Rx and Knight of Cups – Sometimes other peoples love languages don’t match up with yours and you find it confusing. Don’t expect others to always communicate in your love language. It doesn’t make their love any less for being communicated differently.

How can I more clearly receive love from others?

Eight of Wands and The Magician – Just accept what they have to offer and see it for what it is. Love.

This is catch-up post, and I cannot remember what I might have done as a self-kindness for the day.
