Three card spread: 

Ace of Pentacles

Three of Pentacles

King of Cups


Vessel Oracle: Self Care


This past week has been really hard, with the fires/smoke encroaching everywhere and making it more exhausting than it already is. Lots of meetings and prep for new school year. Lots of emails and juggling too much.

The Ace of Pentacles is the start of a new endeavor- fitting as my first class at [uni] is tomorrow (technically today as it's after midnight). Three of Pentacles is perhaps to remind me to call in my network to help with this endeavor, to not do this alone and to be with others to learn from them and to grow. King of Cups is to be master of my emotions- not to get too heated, or overwhelmed, or overflowing with anxiety that I can't keep it together. I'm feeling pretty emotional especially after a tough conversation with my sister this morning, and miss pup a lot. Just feeling overall lonely and overworked. I want to make a difference and do right, but I also need to rest a bit and do right by myself. (The Self Care oracle is reminding me of that too).

0: The Fool, Taking the Risk We are in Fool energy right now. - not just when you pull a card, but we can see the energy of the cards at different times.  What does it mean to embrace something new, what is blocking that as well?  We are in a time of limitless possibility -- Week 2 1: The Magician, Stepping Into Your Power Holding that wand can also be scary, we give our power away to others. What does it mean to embrace our own power?  -- Foundational Principle 1: Tarot is an invitation -- Brain chemistry 101 Negativity Bias - brains trained to notice the negative as a way of protecting us from harm. This keeps us from seeing what's good, it sends our brain on a space of contraction - that is all we can focus on (the negative). Once we get into that threatened state, that's all we can see. That's not the best state to find solutions to our problems, or find/make new neural connections in our brains.  Second arrow- self-judgment for having / succumbing to negativity bias. B
