Self-Love Day Intuitive Reading

Yesterday was a long, draining day full of stress and some drama. So I didn't get to do the self-love reading that would have been perfect for Valentine's Day.

But today, I'm having a wonderful day. Lovely cup of vanilla tea, a candle that smells like cinnamon rolls and a view of the tree outside my window.

So here we go. I'll be using the Ostara deck from the Seasons of a Witch series. And the suggested self-love spread from Sisters Enchanted that came in my email from them yesterday.
​

​Here's the reading, using the questions and spread above...

(1) What Does My Heart need from Me Most Right Now?

Aries: You are being called to step into the flame with an ignited vision of your desires. Time is of the essence.

Based on the keywords for this card, I'd say that my heart longs for me to step fearlessly into an initiation into my new life.

I moved recently, and have pretty high hopes for what is possible here. On the other hand, those possibilities will ask me to completely let go of the old patterns and beliefs, and exchange them for a fearless belief in what I can do with these chances I've been given.

What do you wish to release or reclaim, this card asks.

It also warns me not to lose my nerve as I set intentions and then, get going to make those dreams come true.

THE INTENTIONS I SET, INSPIRED BY THIS CARD

Every day, recommit to believing in my own magic and to finding ways to connect to it each day.

Commit to my desire to help sensitive healers connect & reconnect to the energies of the higher timeline, doing so gently and from a place of comfort.

Reach for comfort, joy and peace in my own life, every single day.

This is my self-love, honring my heart's call.

(2) How Can I Best Show Myself Compassion at this Moment?

Eostre: In the darkest of hours when all seems to be lost comes the magic of light.

I go through a difficult time each year, related to the lack of sunlight in winter, but also to the influx of pollen in the spring. And surrendering to that time, accepting it, is so hard!

I think this card is about being as compassionate as I can whilst in the middle of it, and reminding myself that this too shall pass. It's also about finding ways to bring light into the darker moments, even if I can't get rid of the darkness completely.

Above all, this is your sign to keep with your current path.

That message encourages me, too, to keep going even if I get discouraged, and to hang on to my faith. I'm making a commitment today, to do so.

So self-love, for me, means compassion and determination to stay the course.
​

(3) Where am I Relying too Much on Others to Feel Loved?

Composting: It is through remembrance of the past that you can create a more purposeful future.

I think, in light of the card before, this card is about taking what I would normally think of as wasted time and find ways to turn it into blessings and opportunity.

What's coming to my mind right now is that when the rest of the world is springing into action, I can stay on the path, but continue to prioritize rest. And compassionate self-care.

Maybe I can actively plan for ways to experience more joy at home (avoiding the pollen). While still staying committed to my intentions.

Planning ahead for joy at home - that might be my best self-love strategy for spring.

(4) How Can I Best Incorporate a Self-Love Practice into My Day?

Sacred Circle: A dive into the depths of the unknown within beckons your becoming.

Ah-ha! This card is perfect for the question. It encourages you to do something different than you normally would, to do something new.

I think for me, this is about putting joyful plans in place to do as part of a daily ritual, but also, to make plans with friends.

My mind is buzzing with ideas right now and I'm about to go write them down. I'm excited!

Two Clarifying Cards

The two clarifying cards are Ancestral Lands and Aquamarine. I actually read these first because they are the deck's beginning cards.

I think in light of self-love and the deck's theme of new beginnings after a prolonged period of struggle, these cards are an encouragement to move forward in and with love, especially for myself.

Know where you've been and honor the past that got you where you are today, but be willing to let go of the patterns and limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you, so that you give yourself a full chance to become everything your blueprint intends you to be. And consider a cleansing ritual to help you release the old and open fully to the new.

What I love about these cards is that I did a brief ritual this morning with the intention of welcoming the new life and the blessings that are waiting for me. But I may also do a cleansing ritual.

Also, I have aquamarine on my crystal wish list and this seems like a sign to buy it first, as soon as I get the chance.
