It is the final day of the September Tarot Challenge! It has been an interesting month for sure and this challenge both guided me towards action and encouraged me to remove habits that no longer serve me. Today’s prompt is a segue into October: “What Am I Guided to Move Away From Starting October 1st?”
Guided to Carry On
The Ten of Wands reminds me that organized thoughts, burdens, and work is easier to manage. My new second brain is the result of my organization. I’m still getting started with it, but dumping everything in my head into the second brain made space for creativity. That creativity is bubbling up in unexpected ways.
But this prompt is about what I’m guided away from, and when I look at the card with this in mind the images are about not taking on new responsibilities at this time. The purpose of the second brain isn’t to pile on more work!
Guided to Concentrate on Current Work
This spread is definitely about how I approach whatever I love to do. The Eight of Pentacles can be about hard, diligent work, repetition, and perfecting a craft. Those meanings, especially the last, resonate for me. Stronger still, however, is the message of sticking with one thing until it is understood and mastered. It encourages me to stick with what I’m doing right now, don’t change things up, and especially don’t add new personal projects at this time.
The regression in this spread interests me. We start at 10, then 8, and now 2. October may well be a month to pull back a bit and focus on everything currently in progress.
Guided to Keep a Routine
Finally, we have the Two of Pentacles. Classically, this card represents juggling time or money, a choice between two paths, and routine. Here the message is “depend on a routine to float above stormy waters”. Focus on my new routine until it becomes a part of me.
This new routine includes limiting social media, getting up a little earlier, focusing on my energy levels to determine my next task, and keeping copious notes about everything important to me. I no longer stress out about tasks because the minute I think about something that needs doing I add it to my electronic inbox. In the car I use Alexa to record a note. When not driving, I add it via my smartphone or computer.
My interpretation keeps moving away from the topic and straying into what I should do rather than what I’m guided to stop doing. Here it is in plain words: “continue to stop chasing shiny new ideas and concentrate on what I already have.”
This may also apply to my dilemma about an October Tarot Challenge. I wanted to do a challenge that tested my ability to read for future events. I’m backtracking on that now because the progress I see now might be disrupted by the difficulty in finding topics to read on. The challenge needs to be easy for me right now.
My husband and I are going to the fair today, so this topic will simmer for the day in my head and tonight a decision about my October challenge will happen. In the meantime I’ll just let it go and let my subconscious figure it out.
What Clients are Saying about Sophrosyne Tarot
I was advised to ask open-ended questions instead of predictive questions which I thought was helpful because I never would have known if it weren’t for the reader. The reader provided the reading along with some advice too so the entire reading was very thorough and explained in an understandable manner.
Everything said was accurate and helpful for me to identify my flaws in order to grow as a person. I have learned a lot about tarot and what it does to help me.
