#MonthofSpreads Day Three: My Personal Development

1. How can I develop more self acceptance in my life?
Daughter of Pentacles
You have to put in the work. Even if it is tedious, difficult or humiliating, it must be done, and done right. There are no shortcuts. It will be worth it.

2. How can I develop more clarity in my life?
Five of Pentacles (Reversed)
Life has been hard, but things are getting better, and the further you come, the brighter the light at the end of the tunnel will be. You’ll get there.

3. How can I develop more security in my life?
0 – The Fool (Reversed)
You need to listen to yourself more, and give value to your own feelings and needs over those of others. Your opinions and feelings have value, and you need to start to treat them as if they matter. As if you matter. Because you do.

Liking this spread a lot, even if I did have to dig deep into the internet to find the reversals that fit. 🙂

#MonthofSpreads Day Two: Tell Me Something Good

Card: Ace of Wands
Growth, change, creativity. Ride the wave of energy, but don’t lose sight of good judgement.

I laughed when I drew this card, because I think it’s the most positive card I’ve ever drawn, for the something good draw. I love my deck.

#MonthofSpreads Day One: Past Present Future

My personal card (or signifier) since I was a teenage has been The Star. However, with my new deck for my adult self, I feel more connected to the Daughter of Swords. So I decided to do two readings for this day.

Celtic Dragon Tarot
Signifier: XVII – The Star
Spirituality, hope, listening to inner and universal messgaes

Past: IX – The Hermit (Reversed)
Focus on personal reflection and spiritual self, make time for self, not just day-to-day tasks

Present: XIV – Temperance
Self-control and inner guidance help you through difficulties. Travel provides a new perspective on an old problem.

Future: Three of Swords (Reversed)
Recovery from a difficult period, acceptance of past trauma, understanding of the time needed to heal

Wild Unknown Tarot
Signifier: Daughter of Swords
Insight, knowledge, hypervigilance, anxiety, inability to accept imperfection

Past: Two of Pentacles
Inevitable change that may be frightening but positive

Present: XI – Strength
Courage needed can be found within

Future: Son of Cups
You may be reacting based on impulse or emotion rather than reality. Step back and take stock before acting.

Neither of these decks have reversals as part of their books, but I like trying to read the reversals anyway using internet resources.

All in all, I need to be less impulsive and more in touch with my inner self. I have been hurt, but I am healing. Change happens, but I have a choice how I react to it. I have the courage to weather it.
