Changing Your Nature

Winter Solstice Season OracleToday’s draw is the Hibernation/Dream card from the Winter Solstice Season Oracle.

Now is a down time for me. In an effort to hopefully bypass my yearly major depressive episode through the early part of the year, she encouraged me to take some time off away from home.. and thus away from work, and in doing so, leave my work at home. (I usually bring work with me when I go places.)

Today’s card is a reminder of that goal, and the purpose of leaving work at home instead of trying to find ways around that to work anyway.

Having a first half of the year without being dragged into depression’s pit would be amazing, and the hibernation/dream card keeps that potential alive in my mind to encourage these efforts, no matter how much rest and not working feels against my nature.

Snowland Tarot - The DevilToday’s draw is the Devil card, which is traditionally a representation of temptations, addictions, and struggles with moderation. These issues, when it comes to the Devil card, are most often self inflicted instead of forced upon you by life or others.

When does it go from fun and games with friends to a little too far? Where is the line?

The imagery in this card brings that question to mind. The chains are too tight. Were they always that tight, or in their fun and games did they become too tight?

Todays card encourages us to take some time today to examine where in life you may be letting things get out of hand, and look for ways to ease up the grip of those chains before they tighten to the point you can no longer breathe.

Winter Solstice Season OracleToday’s draw is the Jingle Bells card from the Winter Solstice Season Oracle, which is a representation of joy and joyous celebration.

For me, the holidays are extremely hectic. There’s very little time for sleep, or food… or well, anything.  I eat what’s fast and easy, I sleep less hours, and I sit still without moving or stretching for long hours while working with pliers and wire.

Today’s card is a reminder to not forget about the good things that also come with the holiday season. The connection with family, the beautiful decorations, the music and celebration.

It’s not all bad. Remember to connect with the good as well and enjoy what little bits of it you can.
