Finding Balance and Resilience: August 20th, 2024

August 20th, 2024 by

Dear Readers,

Today, as I sat down to draw my daily tarot cards, I felt a deep sense of reflection and curiosity. The cards have a way of guiding us, revealing hidden truths, and helping us navigate the complexities of life. In this session, I sought to understand the balance between my responsibilities and the energy that drives me forward. To further explore my inner voice, I conducted a Right Hand Drawing, hoping to gain insight into my subconscious. Here’s what the cards revealed:

Left Hand Drawing:

PAST – Ten of Wands:

“I can differentiate between my responsibilities and those of others.”

The Ten of Wands reminds me of the burdens I’ve carried, both my own and those imposed by others. In the past, I may have struggled under the weight of these responsibilities, feeling overwhelmed by the demands placed upon me. However, this card also speaks to the importance of discernment. It encourages me to recognize what is truly mine to carry and to release what belongs to others. This lesson has been invaluable, teaching me to find balance and to focus on what truly matters.

PRESENT – Knight of Wands (Reversed):

“There are no limits to my energy and sense of wonder.”

The Knight of Wands, even in its reversed position, is a symbol of boundless energy and enthusiasm. This card in the present moment suggests that while I may feel a bit scattered or unfocused, my spirit remains full of wonder. There are no limits to what I can achieve, but it’s essential to channel this energy wisely. I must take care not to burn out or lose sight of my goals in the excitement of the moment.

FUTURE – Six of Cups:

“My past experiences build a strong foundation for the future.”

Looking ahead, the Six of Cups offers a comforting reminder that the past is not something to be forgotten but rather something to be cherished. My past experiences, both good and bad, have shaped who I am today. They provide a strong foundation upon which I can build my future. This card encourages me to draw on the lessons learned and to move forward with a sense of nostalgia and gratitude.

Right Hand Drawing:

PAST – Five of Swords:

“I can choose to step back from a fight if the only thing on the line is my ego.”

The Five of Swords in my past reflects moments of conflict and struggle, where the desire to win may have overshadowed the importance of harmony. This card teaches that not every battle is worth fighting, especially if the only stake is my ego. Stepping back, letting go, and choosing peace over pride has been a significant lesson in my journey.

PRESENT – Six of Pentacles:

“I give with generosity and receive with gratitude.”

In the present, the Six of Pentacles reminds me of the balance between giving and receiving. Generosity is a beautiful act, but it is equally important to be open to receiving. Whether it’s kindness, support, or even material wealth, I am learning to embrace the flow of life with an open heart, giving without expectation and receiving with gratitude.

FUTURE – Eight of Wands:

“I can handle and adapt to the demands of life.”

As I look to the future, the Eight of Wands fills me with a sense of confidence and resilience. Life may throw challenges my way, but I am equipped to handle them. The energy of this card is swift and dynamic, urging me to stay adaptable and ready for anything that comes my way. With this mindset, I can navigate the twists and turns of life with grace and agility.

These drawings have provided a profound reflection on my journey, past, present, and future. They remind me of the importance of balance, the power of generosity, and the strength within me to adapt and thrive. I hope these insights resonate with you, dear readers, and offer you guidance on your path.

Embracing Wisdom and Love: A Mid-day Tarot Reflection

Dear Readers,

Today, I turned to my tarot cards once more for a mid-day reading, seeking deeper insight and connection with my inner wisdom. The cards I drew revealed a powerful message about self-acceptance, intuition, and the fulfillment of love and belonging. As I share this reading with you, I hope these reflections inspire you to trust in your own journey and the guidance you find along the way.

PAST – The Hierophant (Reversed):

“I can find belonging with people that accept me as who I am.”

The Hierophant in its reversed position points to a departure from tradition and conventional paths. In the past, I may have felt out of place, struggling to conform to societal expectations or the norms set by others. However, this card also signals a journey toward finding true belonging—not with those who demand conformity, but with people who accept me for who I am. It’s a reminder that authenticity is the key to forming genuine connections and that true belonging is found in spaces where I am valued for my unique self.

PRESENT – The High Priestess:

“I trust the wisdom of my inner voice.”

In the present moment, the High Priestess stands as a symbol of intuition and inner wisdom. This card encourages me to trust the quiet, guiding voice within—my inner compass that knows the truth beyond the noise of the external world. The High Priestess invites me to listen, to be still, and to honor the deep knowledge that resides within me. It is a time to trust my instincts, to embrace the mysteries of life, and to follow the path that feels true to my soul.

FUTURE – Ten of Cups:

“I love and am loved by others.”

Looking ahead, the Ten of Cups paints a picture of emotional fulfillment and harmonious relationships. This card is a beautiful promise of love, joy, and contentment. It reassures me that the connections I seek, the love I yearn for, and the sense of belonging I desire are all within reach. In the future, I see a life filled with deep, meaningful relationships where love flows freely, and I am surrounded by people who truly care for me. It’s a vision of happiness that stems from both giving and receiving love.

As I reflect on these cards, I am reminded of the power of self-acceptance, the importance of listening to my inner voice, and the joy that comes from loving and being loved. Each card offers a guiding light, showing me that the path to fulfillment is paved with authenticity, intuition, and love.

May these insights resonate with you as well, dear readers, and guide you on your journey to find your place, trust your inner wisdom, and embrace the love that surrounds you.

With gratitude and love,

A Nightly Reflection: Awakening to My Calling

Dear Readers,

As the day comes to a close, I find solace in the quiet moments of reflection that accompany my nightly tarot reading. Tonight, I drew a single card that speaks to a profound and transformative journey—Judgment. This card carries with it a powerful message of awakening and renewal, one that resonates deeply as I continue to explore my path and purpose.

Judgment

“I am awakening to my calling.”

The Judgment card signifies a time of spiritual awakening and a call to rise to a higher purpose. It encourages me to reflect on my past actions, to assess where I stand, and to embrace the new beginnings that are unfolding before me. This card is not just about judgment in the traditional sense but rather about gaining clarity and understanding, leading to a profound transformation.

In this moment, I feel a strong connection to my inner self, a sense of being called to something greater than myself. It’s as if the universe is guiding me to step into my true purpose, to answer the call that has been quietly building within me. The message is clear: now is the time to embrace this awakening, to trust the journey, and to move forward with confidence and conviction.

As I reflect on this reading, I am reminded that each of us has a unique calling, a path that is ours to follow. Judgment encourages us to listen to that inner voice, to trust the process of transformation, and to step into the light of our true purpose. It is a card of liberation, freeing us from the past and allowing us to embrace the future with open arms.

This reading has left me with a sense of renewed purpose and a deeper understanding of the path ahead. I hope that as you read this, you too feel inspired to reflect on your own journey and to listen to the call that beckons you forward. We are all on a journey of awakening, and with each step, we move closer to fulfilling our true potential.

May you find peace and clarity in your reflections tonight, and may you awaken to your own calling with the same sense of purpose and renewal.

With light and awakening,
Jenny Toussaint
