Today's cards: Hummingbird (Joy), Platypus (stop complaining and focus your attention on the blessings in your life.) 9 of Bats (Swords) and 8 of Pumpkins (Pentacles)
Shadow card: The Fool
Top card: 2 of Pumpkins (Pentacles)
The Hummingbird card is the card of joy. At the bottom it says "lighten up". So, how are you missing out on the joy in your life by taking life too seriously? The pink flowers say to me that you need to focus like the hummingbird on your true passions in life. You know what they are. They are constantly being brought back into your life time and time again. In order to bring joy into your life you need to reach for and focus on the things that bring you true joy.
The platypus tells us that we are mired in complaining and negativity. We need to refocus from complaining about what we don't want and instead focusing on what we do. When we focus on bad things, it's like a magnet and bad things are attracted to us. Make a point to refocus your attention back to the blessings in your life whenever you notice them straying to the dark side.
The 9 of Bats revisits our spread but today it is the bats that have my attention. You have a lot of things on your mind. And these things wake you up early and disturb your sleep. I think it would be a good time to journal your thoughts. Take action on your anxiety and write it all down. If you're anything like me, you will find you can only write a few sentences about what is actually bothering you because you have your worries set on shuffle and repeat. Writing them down is the best type of magic. It's almost as if the worry gets trapped in the journal and any fear you had been feeling will be lessened.
The 8 of Pumpkins is usually about working hard on something you are passionate about. It is called the apprentice card because you are just starting to try and master this skill. You are getting your hands dirty. And experiencing something first hand is the best way to become masterful. The man has an onion head. And onions are all about layers. This card has all sorts of layers and meaning choose for yourself what resonates with you most. This man is putting a light inside of something he has created and made something else out of it. This reminds me how we all have a light inside us. By him focusing on his passion, creating hack-o-lanterns, he inspires others to bring out the best in themselves. So, while you do what you love, you inspire others to do what they love too.
The Fool is about new beginnings. Here is where we step out in faith toward some big dream we have in our lives. And I noticed there are a ton of stars in this card. Stars are about guidance and hope. It reminds us that we are never alone. His eyes are focused on the balls he is juggling and this reminds me of our energetic chakra system. Somehow our chakras are involved in this new beginning. Chakra clearing, anyone?.
Two of Bats is where we have come to a stalemate and we are waffling between two things we need to make a decision on. This asks us to take time to meditate on what it is we truly desire. Access internal wisdom.
My Take
You are missing out on the joy in your life by complaining and focusing on the negative. By focusing on your true passions you will inspire others to focus on their passions. You have a lot of things on your mind and you need to find a way to release this worry. Try journalling or meditating. Since there are so many energies coming in right now it may be time to get some energy healing maybe through massage or reiki. The Two of Bats asks to see if you can make a compromise between these two things. What would your creation look like if you morphed your worry into inspiration. Let your inner light shine and show the world the true you. No more hiding it is time to step up and step out Don't worry what others think of you or what you are doing. Reach for your joy and your joy will reach for you. Remember you are never alone and always supported.
Blessings.
