bloodygranuaileI'm doing Wyntercraft's 30-Day Tarot Challenge, and using Showtime's "The Tarot of Vanessa Ives" (i.e. the Penny Dreadful Tarot) for all one-card/daily draws.
Today is Day 3, where the draw's question is "How can I move forward?" I drew Major Arcana XIV, Temperance. Temperance is one of those cards whose meaning is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin--moderation, prudence, self-restraint, cooperation, the ~blending of varied ingredients into a harmonious mixture~ (I love the Louis book but he's kind of pretentious in his phrasing). Combined with yesterday's draw that the best way to improve my ambition is to chill out and the prior day's reading that I'm falling at celebrating and jumping at respite, the cards lately seem to be strongly in support of my dialing back on the DO ALL THE THINGS -> burnout -> hide until I get bored stupid -> DO MOAR THINGS cycle. I'm trying, cards! This is the Year of Self-Care (and Witchcraft)! See? *unscrolls mile-long list of Self-Care Things To Do* OK, maybe I do need to get better at this.
Anyway, I'm off to attempt an archery and then to have lunch with an old friend and then to go on a bookstore bar crawl, so I'll try to keep the "temperance" bit in mind for the bar crawl, at least. One drink per bar, and plenty of water!
