Monthly CHallenge: Light My Fire Lionharts’ April Challenge: Days 4, 5, and 6

On By HeatherIn Monthly challengeLeave a comment

Day 4: How can I best embrace and embody my carefree spirit in the present moment?

Card: The Wheel of Fortune Rx (reversed): What carefree spirit? LOL I need to reflect back on my past actions- maybe I can use them for inspiration. Remember times when I was more carefree and fun-loving. Embrace that moment.

Day 5: Where can I infuse more playfulness and curiosity in my approach to life?

Card: 3 of cups- this is my second three of cups within an hour lol- I guess I have to meet up with folks and party a bit more. Let my hair down. Worry less.

Day 6: What can I engage in to bring more joy into my life right now? Draw up to 3 cards.

Cards: 3 of Swords, Guardian (Queen) of Wands Rx, and 5 of cups: I’ve been hurt and suffered loss (who hasn’t), and those painful moments have caused me to limit what I can feel for others, how close I let them get, and how much I share with them. I believe that very few people can be trusted, and I need to look towards breaking out of that mentality and learning to forgive others and myself. I need to reestablish my sense of self, my sense of purpose and not remove boundaries but instead assess how those boundaries help and hinder me.

The deck used today is a bootlegged copy of the Spacious Tarot (a gift from someone who didn’t know it was a knock-off). I like the imagery in the Spacious Tarot, and I think if you’re on the hunt for human-free images, this is a good one!

Happy Readings! 💛💛

Monthly Challenge: Light My Fire Lionharts’ April Tarot Challenge: Day 1, 2, and 3.

On By HeatherIn Monthly challengeLeave a comment

Day 1: What inner fire am I guided to ignite, nurture, and/or honour this month?

Card: 3 of cups: I should honour my connections to others, help myself grow and develop the relationships I already have, any new ones I’d like to create or build afresh. Maybe also indulging myself- treat yo self kinda vibes!

Day 2: Where do I need to take a bold step forward in my life?

Card: 3 of Pentacles Reversed: Hmmm teamwork- I don’t really work in a team though, so I’m not too sure about this card- Maybe I need to be bold and join a team, or work together with someone on a project of some sorts? It could be that the activities I’m doing at the moment are too boring, and don’t inspire passion, so perhaps I need to develop those? The branches of this tree on the card make me feel like it wants me to step out of my individualized life and make some new connections maybe.

Day 3: Draw a card and use its message to create a daily mantra for the month ahead.

Card: Judgment: lol: I trust myself. I am wise. I know what is best for me.

The deck used today was The Essential Tarot- I wouldn’t really recommend it, to be honest. The images aren’t always helpful- it veers more towards a pip deck (a deck with the minor cards as just the number of the symbol, so the 3 of pentacles you can just see 3 pentacles, etc), and I don’t find it super intuitive to read. It doesn’t feel like there was a tonne of thought put into its creation and some of the images (especially of the court cards and major arcana) don’t really guide you at all, or give you any help. It was available at a discount book outlet so I grabbed it, but I wouldn’t recommend you do the same. The card stock is good but a bit sticky, and it smells strongly of chemicals. It’s growing on me, but I don’t think I’ll use it much.

Happy Readings 💛💛

April’s Challenge

On By HeatherIn Monthly challengeLeave a comment

Ok, I know I haven’t finished March yet, but it’s already the 8th of April and I haven’t even begun yet!

It’s been a crazy few weeks, with a new contract starting at work, a few days taken up by extra work and plans, and a slight health issue- fingers crossed it’s not as big of a deal as it seems to be. All of this has meant I’ve been working on keeping myself going and not going batshit crazy, so although tarot has been tugging at me every evening and every morning, I haven’t been able to do fuck all.

Here’s the challenge I’m going to attempt for April. It’s another Lionharts’ challenge. I like that there’s usually an element of self-reflection in the questions asked, and I also like the visuals. That said, whenever I get a chance, I might try to chuck in some more challenges or just a card of the day here and there! 🙂

Follow Lionharts’ on Instagram to see more, and follow me on Instagram for occasional dog bum-based spread photos.

Happy Readings 💛💛
