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 Tarot Reading with the Enchanted Forest Felines Tarot and Minimalist Japanese Lenormand

Earth – Page of Saucers – Don’t let boredom create stagnancy this week while you’re off work. Dabble in creativity and have some fun instead. Not work… fun.  Imagination.  Play.  Bring back that enthusiasm for creativity that has a tendency to be smothered out when too much gets put on your shoulders at once.

Air – Three of Saucers – Invite others in not just to help you in creating balance in your life, but to have fun with as well. Focus on those that help in lifting your spirits and making life interesting.

Water – Seven of Branches –  Remember that whether or not others expect you to defend yourself and how you feel? There’s no need to actually do so.  They can’t reach you anyway, so why bother entertaining their pressure and threats?

Fire – Wheel of Fortune – Look for the boon in upcoming “spilled milk” situations. It’s not all bad, and you need to make sure that you are adapting easily to the whims of fate when they put shit like this in your way.

Waning – Man and Fox – Let go of that responsible leader who’s always on top of everything and always strategizing the best way forward. Sometimes you just have to step back and let things take their own course instead of trying to direct everything to the letter.

Waxing – Child and Letter – It’s okay to be irresponsible and “dial it in” this week instead of being on the ball and ready to roll. Play time is just as important to your well-being as times of work are.

Take Away – Don’t go back to work early because you are feeling pressure to do so.  Take your time and take it easy. Have some fun.  Make sure when unpleasant surprises arise that you deal with them through adaptation and humor instead of getting upset or frustrated.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Forest Lore Tarot and Animal Spirit Oracle

Earth – Wheel of Fortune – Remember this week that if you wants stability, you need to stay centered. Stepping out towards the edge is only going to make things worse and threaten the stability that you’ve already accomplished, let alone future stability that you are working toward.

Air – Seven of Pentacles – Keep your impatience in check. Instant gratification is all well and good, and yes, your brain works a lot faster than some others in your life. That doesn’t mean they’re not going to come up with some good ideas if you give them time to think, so work on your patience and wait. There’s truth in that saying “good things come to those who wait”.

Water – Two of Swords – You are being given the opportunity to choose this week on which direction your emotions and emotional health are going to go. Keep your eyes open, your head straight, and make sure that you make wise choices.

Fire – Queen of Pentacles – Put your significant amount of passion and enthusiasm into fostering balance this week. Remember that by doing this for yourself, you also do it for others in your life, as their sense of stability and balance often relies on yours.

Waning – Donkey – Take care that you aren’t leaning so hard into feelings of safety and protection that you are allowing stagnancy a way to take root in your life.

Waxing – Robin – Be brave. New beginnings are afoot and, as they approach, communication is key this week. Make sure that you are communicating with others and helping out where you can.

Take Away – Don’t let your temptation toward those addictions that are nudging at you right now let you fall off track with what you’re trying to accomplish. That especially includes in the area of your emotions. Instead, stay focused on the goals that foster your future stability and be patient.

Loputyn's I Tarocchi Tarot Deck and The Primitive Lenormand

Earth – The Hermit – Do what you need to do to get some healthy alone time this week. You have time off, and there aren’t a lot of obligations going on to get in your way.

Air – Justice – Remember that you get what you give. If you’re going to doomscroll, then you’re going to be feeling anxious and down. Work on focusing your mind and attention on things that have the result of lifting you up and making you feel empowered instead.

Water – The High Priestess – Listen to the inner tides of your emotions as they ebb and flow, rather than trying to lock them away and ignore them. You need to look within this week and get in touch with what you have been avoiding by touching base with your innermost ken and dealing with it head-on.

Fire – The Chariot – Take care, even if you take time off , that you don’t relax your grip on the reigns. Keep a watchful eye on the direction things are going so that even during times of rest, you are able to steer your passions and objectives in the direction you want to go.

Waning – Stork and Rider – Magical thinking. Remember that things have to move at their own pace. There’s no way to usher everything to move faster, or hurry along the changes currently taking place.

Waxing – Bouquet and Scythe – Remember that sometimes gifts given come at a heavy cost. Not everyone is honest in their intentions when they’re being nice to you.  Keep a close eye on other’s motivations.

Take Away – Alone time is important during your time off this week. Make sure that you are giving yourself the rest you need and keeping things healthy in your choices of activities and practices. Let go of the rush and just allow things to move at their own pace.  Holding onto the reigns doesn’t mean slapping the horse’s ass with them, it just means you don’t run off the road.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with The Baroque Tarot and Lunar Nomad Oracle

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

Earth – The Empress atop Ten of Cups – The week ahead is supposed to be your time off and you need to focus on wallowing in the goodness instead of worrying about what’s coming. Do things that make you happy and allow yourself to have some fun, nurture yourself and your emotions this week.

Air – Two of Swords atop The Emperor – Be decisive when decisions need to be made. No waffling allowed. Others depend on your opinion, and you need to deliver your determinations quickly. Train your focus on leaning into making decisions that are for the greater good.

Water – Ace of Swords – Don’t clam up and shut down when emotions come calling. Instead, share your emotions with others. You’re allowed to have them, and sharing them with those that you trust helps you to sort them out and make sense of them.

Fire – Seven of Swords – Keep an eye out for sabotage… including self sabotage. Keep in mind that when you aren’t careful with where you hide your secrets and your treasures, others with less scruples will have a tendency to slip in and try to take them.

Waning – Moon and Sun – Don’t get bogged down with weighing your options. As mentioned in the Air position of this reading, you need to be decisive and not dither about.

Waxing – House and Tree – Address your difficulties in adapting to the oncoming rush rather than ignoring them, and make sure you are taking yourself out into nature this week for a boost in your health and sense of well-being.

Take Away – Be decisive in the decisions that you need to make this week. Clarity is important both in handing out your opinions and decisions, as well as in communicating your emotions to others.  Make sure you are watching for subterfuge and don’t hesitate when it needs to be dealt with.  Give yourself this last few days of rest.  You need them, and there will be very little rest for you over the next seven weeks so you should use this time to bolster your spirit as well as your well-being while you can.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Silver Acorn Tarot and Halloween Carnival Lenormand

Earth – Three of Pentacles – Help is good. You need help with getting your work done and all the last minute preparations taken care of for the upcoming holiday rush. Don’t avoid asking for that help. Just do it. Those that you ask are happy to lend their skills and abilities to your goals if you give them the chance to do so.

Air – Queen of Wands – Use your creative spark to inspire others. If you present something as a chore, it will be seen as a chore to them. If you present it as fun, it will become something fun and enjoyable for them to help you with.

Water – Knight of Cups – Pounce forward into those things that make you happy this week. You need a bit of joy and now is a good time to work on instilling a bit extra into your life. Try allowing your emotions to have the reigns for a bit and follow the whims of what you want and what you like instead of restraining yourself so much.

Fire – Six of Cups – This is yet another reminder to look back at the past for inspiration on moving forward and lifting you out of the ashes of the present situation.  This message has come through a few times of late, and is a reminder that you have skills developed in the past that can be carried forward to help you in what’s going on in the present.

Waning – Key and Fish – You need to step away from your current perspective concerning how you define success. Stop looking for the same markers of success that you’ve always looked for, and instead seek to redefine success into something that is more -you- and less what everyone else has expected from you.

Waxing – Dog, Ring, Snake – Be careful who you trust this week. Not everyone is as loyal and dependable as they appear.

Take Away – As with a number of the readings done over the past week, these cards are a reminder to ask for help, as well as not panic in the face of your jewelry business being slower than normal this year.  Pivot and adapt, and take others with you as you do.  Redefine success, and set your priorities to those new values.

Watch closely for the wolf posing in sheep’s clothing. They are closer than you realize.

Self Care Saturday Tarot Reading with the Zombie Tarot and Lunatic Lenormand

Earth – Seven of Swords Rx – Don’t panic, and don’t move. Do not allow the events taking place around you too, cause you to bolt when you need to stay still.

Air – Ten of Wands – You’re going to feel the need to overburden yourself this week. Make sure that you do not go in this direction, and don’t allow yourself to get all up in your head. You’ll have plenty of overwhelmed later on when the holiday rush begins. There’s no reason to start it early with your anxiety and worries piling on.

Water – Page of Cups atop Seven of Cups Rx – Remember that you are not well-versed in your emotions and how to react to them. When they rise up, and you feel the urge to act, step back instead, and try to limit your options rather than being confused by them or trying to take on too much.

Fire – The Tower – It’s going to feel like the end of the goddamn world as a shit show ensues within the area of your passion projects and your business. Remember the advice given in the other three positions of this reading today. Don’t panic. Step back and wait it out instead of reacting or taking on too much.

Waning – Letter and Snake – Don’t let incoming communication and bad news this week set you off. Wait it out instead of reacting.

Waxing – Bear and Clouds – Times of uncertainty are hard for you to take. Make sure that you are staying solid and steadfast in your values and what you need to protect in your life. Prioritize what’s important above all else.

Take Away – No jumping the gun on the holiday rush this year, no matter how hard you emotions and fears push you to do so. Savor every moment you can before it begins. When chaos lands in your lap, make sure you don’t panic.  Pause and stay still instead, while remembering it’ll pass and isn’t half as bad as it seems in the moment.
