Reading for Friday the 11th

Cards used in this reading are from the Tarot of the Golden Wheel and the Spirit Animal Oracle.

KNIGHT OF WANDS - REVERSED

A creative project is emerging but you are not ready to act on it yet. Your movement forward has been stilled, stifled by something emotional. You aren't ready to move forward in a relationship.

ACE OF WANDS - This is the card of pure potential. Time to follow your heart and do that creative thing you've been contemplating starting. 

6 OF WHEELS (PENTACLES) - REVERSED

This asks that you remember to give to yourself. Time for some self-care. It also says you are giving to others too freely and may become burned out or feel like they are using you. Remember that it is okay to say no. 6 of Pentacles also asks us to watch out about taking on any new debt.

Bottom of the deck (theme) STRENGTH - REVERSED

This asks us to take a measure of how we feel right now. Do you feel strong and sure or do you lack confidence? You may be prone to bouts of explosive anger right now so watch out! If you are worn out, take a break and renew yourself.

FLAMINGO SPIRIT- Embrace the in-between

Flamingos stand on one leg which says they have pretty good balance. We really need to stay in balance right now. This also says that we will need to stay strong when the storm comes. Flamingos are very resilient. So, we need to be strong as well.

GROUNDHOG SPIRIT - Time to let go

We need to let go of what is no longer serving us. But it also speaks of maintaining our boundaries. Don't let anyone walk all over you today. Stay strong. It is also a symbol of good luck so you will be able to maintain the spirit of this animal today even if you normally give in to other's demands.

My Take:

You are not ready to move forward with a creative project right now. But the ideas are just bursting forth. Take stock of these and keep a record of them. They will serve you in the future. You aren't in the right mindset for creative expression right now. You are tired and worn out. You need to take a break. Give to yourself for a change. This whole reading is wanting us to take stock in how we feel currently. Try to stay in balance when conflict crops up and others want us to do things for them. Just say no! Keep those boundaries in tact. If you do, you will find that luck will shine down on you today.
