weekly checkin tarot reading

❤️ Self Care Saturday (On a Sunday)

/ Twist the Leaf / Leave a 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 Oracle Reading with the Dixit Memories Deck and Le Claire Lenormand

Earth – The Boulder Fluffer – Taking time to be out in nature is non-optional for you. Even when it feels like work just to figure out a way to get out there and you’re really not feeling all that enthusiastic about it; you still need it. So get off your ass and do something about it.

Air – Cave of Ken – Trying new things can be harrowing and breed a sense of uncertainty. Remember that the more you know the less scary that new something will become. Do research before you start on your journey, and continue with that research as you move into the unknown.

Water – The Basement – When you are feeling “small” and vulnerable, everything feels much bigger, much much darker, and much more scary. Don’t let your fears hold you back, turn on the light (via research, talking with others, etc) and make sure that you can see things clearly before moving forward with actions.

Fire – The Open Door – Get moving. The door is open and the way is clear. Now is the time to move.

Waning – Ring and Star – Don’t allow your hopes for what might be convince you to make commitments that you’re not otherwise prepared to make.

Waxing – Child and Tree – A healthy inner child means a healthy you. Make sure that you’re taking time for play and to enjoy life.

Take Away – Sometimes it can be hard to pull yourself out of a rut, and that’s what you’re in at the moment.  For a time, this was good, as it gave you time to rest and heal, but now the path is clear and the door is open to begin something new and get moving again.  Don’t allow your time of stillness drag out until it turns into stagnancy.  Start enjoying yourself.  Start looking into ideas and seeking out passionate pursuits.  And if you’re feeling a little uncertain in taking those first steps?  Do a little research to set you on your way with more confidence.

No contracts.  No agreements.  This is a carry over from last week. Now is not the time, no matter how appealing they may seem.  Don’t do it right now.  Wait a while longer.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Bee Tarot and Honey Hive Lenormand

Earth – Six of Pentacles – You’ve already started this process with giving away a good number of items over the past week to people in the building and that you know. Continue the process of clearing things out that you no longer use and giving them to those that might need them instead.

Air – The Empress – Be kind to yourself in your thoughts and actions. It’s too easy to fall into letting your internal thoughts beat you up and drag you down. Instead, make sure that you are getting yourself, nurturing feedback and encouragement.

Water – Queen of Swords – Buckle down and don’t let emotions rule you this week. Do you have a tendency to languish a bit too long and fall under the spell that drags you down into depression if you let it. Instead it’s time to take a little bit of a firmer hand with yourself so that you are getting things done.

Fire – Three of Pentacles – You’re not in this alone, so don’t act like you are. Allow others to help and do their part in getting things done rather than trying to take it all on your own shoulders. It might feel like the end result is better if you do it yourself, but the truth is the contribution of others improves not just the end result, but also the process as well as how much you get done.

Waning – Key and Child – You have the opportunity to connect more strongly with your inner child this week. Don’t pass it up, for to pass over this opportunity has the potential of shutting out that part of yourself again.

Waxing – Clouds and Ring – If you are feeling uncertain about any agreements or contracts that come up this next week, make sure that you avoid them instead of giving in and agreeing. Now is not the time to trust that everything will work itself out, even if you make the wrong choice.

Take Away – It’s time to pick up the slack that has developed over the past couple of weeks and get things back on track. Just make sure that you’re not doing it alone, and that you’re having fun and incorporating child-like enjoyment into the process. Make sure that you are stepping away from any uncertainties instead of plowing ahead in that direction.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Magic of Tarot Deck and Happy Houseplants Oracle

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?

Earth – Six of Coins – Be generous with yourself this week. There is no reason to not be, and you need a little more of that self-kindness without the guilt of allowing it dragging on you.

Air – The Star – Make sure you are focusing on training your brain towards positivity and optimism instead of letting the stillness of quiet time drag you under. Balancing out those natural tendencies towards pessimism and negative inner self-talk is important.

Water – Ten of Coins – Take time to revel in your accomplishments and acknowledge the ways in which you support yourself and those close to you. You’ve created far more stability in your life and those around you than you give yourself credit for.

Fire – Temperance – Remember that it’s not time to dive back into the fray yet. This is your week off.

Waning – Calathea – Enjoy this time off while you have it. It won’t last forever and you need to remember that you are allowed periods of rest. Now is a perfect opportunity for that to happen.

Waxing – Dracaena – Focus on finishing your healing journey this week. You are getting over pneumonia, and it’s going to take time. More time than you think it should. You are still on the mend, so give yourself the space to do so fully.

Take Away – This reading is all about enjoying my days off instead of feeling guilty that I’m not working, and making sure that I stay on track with my efforts at leaning into positivity.  It is a reminder that my days off are meant to be a time of rest, recovery, and enjoyment. Not guilt and beating myself up for what I’m not getting done.

Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot and Petit Lenormand Aquarella

Earth – Knight of Wands Rx – Cool your jets. Just because you’re feeling better this week doesn’t mean it’s time for you run around doing whatever the hell you want and chasing whatever fantasies or ideas come up to inspire you. Your body and immune system is not ready yet.

Air – Six of Cups – Continue to consider and commune with what you were doing differently before that was working that you have accidentally left behind in the dust. This isn’t just in relation to your business, but also concerning your emotional well-being.

Water – Page of Wands Rx – Don’t worry about starting new projects this week. It will just make you feel overwhelmed in the end if you do.

Fire – King of Cups – Play time with Gideon and using your imagination is essential to kindling your inner spark this week.

Waning – Fox and Man – There is a man in your life that has been trying to pull the wool over your eyes, and it’s time to confront them about it. Get the issue out in the open so that it can be dealt with and moved on from before it develops into something toxic.

Waxing – Moon and Ship – It’s okay to move forward lead by your intuition alone. Don’t let feelings of uncertainty cause you to hesitate this week when your intuition tells you to jump.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Lover's Path Tarot and Tales for Tomorrow Petit Lenormand

Earth – Eight of Arrows (Swords) Rx – Take care of the things that you need to take care of instead of turning the blind eye because you don’t wanna look or be bothered. Make those calls that you don’t want to make and deal with the issues lingering on the edge of your plate before they become detrimental to you.

Air – Triumph (The World) Rx – Instead of looking at your end goal this week, take time to really examine where you’re at right now and suss out what’s being hidden from you (that sharp hook hidden behind her back in the card).

Water – Four of Cups – Don’t forget to do your meditation. It’s important to your emotional well-being. Make sure that you aren’t avoiding doing it out of a desire for languishing instead.

Fire – King of Cups Rx – You are not full of wisdom when it comes to how other people are feeling, so take care not to act as if you are just because you want to help. You’re barely able to understand your own emotions most of the time.

Waning – Anchor and Child – That fun loving kid inside you needs some freedom. Stop holding him down. It’s okay to give into flights of fancy every once in a while.

Waxing – Snake and Stork – Keep in mind that that snake in the grass might actually bring with it a boon. Instead of focusing on all the crap ass things it brings with it, train your attention on the good stuff it has to offer instead.

Sophie's Lenormand and Majestic Earth Tarot - Steward of Stone, Page of Pentacles, Whisper of Fortune, Wheel of Fortune, Death, Ace of Clouds, Ace of Swords

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

Earth – Steward of Stone – Have patience with yourself. You can’t pick up everything with a snap of your fingers, even if this is usually the way you operate when learning something new. Sometimes you have to take your time.  Work on being okay with that.

Air – Ace of Clouds Rx – Hold off on starting anything new or exploring ideas that could add more to your plate for now. They may seem like great ideas, and maybe they are, but not for right this minute. Save them for later and think over them a bit before you pounce on them.

Water – Whisper of Fortune – The unpredictability of life at its best can take you off guard, and no amount of whispers from your guides can protect you from that surprise. They can help guide you through, though, if you’re willing to listen.

Fire – Death – Don’t lose sight of the light ahead. Change is coming and there is fresh air on the horizon.

Waning – Clover and Star – Don’t set your hopes on luck or depend upon good fortune landing in your lap right now. You need a more substantial foundation to depend on in the week ahead.

Waxing – Moon and Fish – Keep a close eye on your emotions this week. There’s potential for overwhelm if you don’t stay on top of things.  That doesn’t mean shutting them down. It means going with the flow and letting yourself feel and process so that they smoothly come… and then go.
