#theaugusttarot Day 1: Embracing a Positive Month 1- What energy is available to me this month? Ace of Wands, such an amazing card, full of potential, the source of spiritual strength, the seed of inspiration. So I have strength and creativity available to me. 2- How do I let this empower me in a positive way? Eight of Swords- ugh, this is one of THE most negative cards in the deck to me. Powerlessness is my greatest fear. I can face any hardship but I need to feel in control of my own destiny. But that need for control may be stifling my creative growth. I feel like I have to handle everything and be as perfect as possible and that literally takes up every moment of my time and drains every bit of energy. I have, as the Ace of Rods suggests, an actual fuckton of creativity, but I have written extensively about my seeming inability to focus it to any effect. Being forced to hold still and deal with the situation may offer the key to moving forward, as nonsensical as it may seem to me in this moment. 3- What is my good focus reminder of the month? Page of Wands, Three of Wands- the Page here is a messenger of the original card of the same suit, the Ace. There is something here for me to hear and see, which leads to the Three, spiritual strength and beginning to see the fruit of the efforts. This reading was shadowed by the King of Swords, who jumped out more than once. He is in full command at any moment. He reinforces the message of the Eight of Swords- my need to control my situation is stifling my creativity and true work. Creative forces are wild, and often can only be ridden, usually by holding on, closing the eyes, and trusting the process. These cards are from the Morgan Greer Tarot in a tin. #tarot #tarotreading #cardoftheday #dailytarot
