10/5
Today's card (a jumper, as I usually do for the daily draws): the Empress. Nine of Cups as the base. This is feeling like a signal to nurture my surroundings and self, to lean toward the side of creativity and pleasure. Another signal to trust abundance and in my dreams for the future, especially in connection with the Nine of Cups (the wish card). Just positive vibes overall, so yay. The weather is actually going to be kind of warm today. My plans are mainly to fuss around the house, attend to chores, go for a nice walk at some point, continue sorting/organizing my stuff. Harvest herbs (finally).
Maybe it would help me to ground the Empress in the mundane a bit more specially in terms of what would feel good to accomplish today: picking up the kitchen/running the dishwasher, food prep (marinated chickpeas, 8-minute eggs), spending time in the garden with just general tending (and cutting some end of season bouquets along with the herbs), doing laundry, and an everything shower. These are all specific ways I can lavish some care on my home and self. Oh, and also some writing/reflection. Top quality self-care all around.
I feel at ease today, some sort of internal relaxing. Less compulsion to stayed glued to real estate listings (here or there) and planning for something that is off in the future, perhaps inching toward having real faith in this plan/path. Staying more grounded in the here and now knowing that the wish will be fulfilled (and may be more likely to come about if I cultivate being in the moment more, taking care of what I can know that will make that future more possible or easier to achieve).
