Card Drawing for the First Week of August

Today I drew cards from the ‘Woodland Wardens’ Oracle Deck. I tried to draw cards on Monday but I clearly wasn’t up to doing readings for anyone as I drew the Strength card upside-down. I honored my own limitations and felt much better today so here are the three cards I drew for my audience.

Before I share what the book says about each image I thought it may be fun if you take note of which card jumped out at you initially. You may have felt one even though your mind preferred another one. That’s another thing to notice. For me, the Ram struck me, maybe because I’m an Aries but I want a cat so I was excited to see the Cat card, but does it resonate? Hmmm... Maybe one feels more accurate NOW and another feels more future or past related, trust your instincts even if they don’t make sense right away.

When I pulled these I had been listening to a podcast about the upcoming Venus moving into Libra transit so if the first card resonates, perhaps this transit will have a romantic impact on you?

This was a lovely card for myself as I am a Ram that charges forward but quickly loses steam, momentum, or interest. The Dahlia is one of my favorite flowers so I’m going to keep that flower close to my awareness to remind me to be persistant and not to give up. I already have used that flower as a phone background and cover photos on my social media channels so I’m thinking this may help me with my patience and determination.

This is a powerful reminder to believe in ourselves and not make decisions based on what others think or whether or not they would approve. We all have a special kind of magic and if we alter or edit that then we will have a more challenging time finding our tribe, much less close friends, lovers, or partners!

May the rest of your week have moments of joy.
