The holiday season is upon us and with the anticipation and excitement often comes stress and anxiety. For many of us that stress and anxiety come without the buffer of excitement and joy. The intention I set for this week’s Tarot Tuesday reading was “What can we do to protect ourselves and our energy during the holidays?”
FAIRY LENORMAND ORACLE
STORK – CROSS – TREE – SHIP
There is a heavy burden (CROSS) that you have been carrying for a while. It is time to put it down and allow some positive changes (STORK) into your life, so that you can grow (TREE) and experience all that awaits you on the other side (SHIP).
MODERN WITCH’S TAROT
DEATH – TEN OF CUPS – THE HANGED ONE (rev.) – KING OF PENTACLES
The time has come to let those things that are no longer serving you go (DEATH). This may be an unhealthy way you have of interacting with your loved ones or a holiday tradition that does not bring you joy. There is something that you need to release this week. However, you have been unwilling to let it go. In fact, rather than allowing nature to take its course you have been stubbornly holding on to the carcass of what was (HANGED ONE [rev.]). Happiness awaits you at the end of the rainbow (TEN OF CUPS), but you can’t take that cross with you. You have all of the material riches – health, wealth, and the luxuries of life – that you need to enjoy life in this realm (KING OF PENTACLES), but only if you release the excess baggage. You can’t hold your coins if your lap is full of tattered suitcases.
LITERARY WITCHES ORACLE
GHOST – CREATURE’S PAW
It is time to let old ways, habits, traditions, and emotions die (GHOST). The CREATURE’S PAW is here to rip them out. You have fought tooth and nail to hold on to things that are not serving your greater good. This will not be a delicately performed surgical procedure. That paw is coming in and snatching shit out. No “Mr. Nice Guy.” You had your chance to do things in your time, but you’ve refused to take action. The paw is here to do it for you.
The Universe can’t upgrade you to a Bentley if you refuse to let the tow truck come and take the Ford Pinto sitting on cinder blocks in your driveway. I know. It’s become a comforting fixture on your property. “How will people know this is my house if I remove this landmark?” you ask. Buy some fucking house numbers!!! Plant a topiary. Paint the siding Pepto Bismol pink. Whatever you do, embrace your inner Elsa and LET IT GOOOOOO!
