Tooth: The Tooth is crossing over from Summer to Fall, ahead of all the other bones. This is a good sign that you’re thinking ahead. Careful planning, and making decisions that will help you in the future, are tactics that make it more likely that in the long run you’ll be successful. You recognize that you aren’t where you’d like to be, but everything starts with an idea, and you’ve got plenty of them.
Vertebra: This bone is hanging back in Spring. You’re not down and out, but you know you aren’t where you want to be yet. It’ll come around in time, but for now you need to conserve your resources until you’re more flush. A careful balance will allow you to keep from running dry but also use something to get you set up for future growth; just be ever mindful of what you have left.
Rib: This bone is in Summer, and that means that you are ready to grow! You know what you want to bring into reality, to the best of your ability, and while you’re letting your head lead, your heart isn’t too far behind. You’re able to enjoy the moment’s anticipation and get excited about what could possibly be on the horizons, which will help keep you motivated as things begin to take shape.
Long Bone: The Long Bone is in Summer, just starting to cross over into Fall. Your actions have been setting you up for this progress as well. Wise decision making means that you may have to curtail some of your more ambitious plans for now, but you’re doing what you can with what you’ve got. Thankfully it’s just about to start paying off, which means that it will help draw the Vertebra closer to the rest of the pack.
Overview: You want more than what you’ve got, and you’re on your way to making that happen. By planning far in advance you’re making sure you’re very prepared so that you don’t run out of resources too soon. You’re also letting yourself take some smaller actions that will set the stage for bigger ones, and you’re letting your inspiration keep you buoyed up even when you run into temporary roadblocks. Things are looking good; just make sure you keep a close eye on both the small details and the big picture.
Today’s (slightly belated) Lammas Skull Scrying comes from Least Weasel. Here is what she had to say:
See how high the sun is over the land! See how the heat scorches the plants and dries the ground! Summer is well upon us, and water becomes scarce. The young animals born in the spring are now stronger and faster, and the easy meals are more challenging these days. Flowers turn to fruit, yet fruit takes time to ripen. And we all wait for the rains of fall to soak the land again.
Would that we could bask in spring’s lush greenery year-round! Yet that is not the way of things. All beings must go through this trial, surviving on less water while hoping resources hold us through to when we are flush again. I see the birds watching the berries begin to turn, and I capture the unwary and weak. This is a liminal space, where the harvest is just beginning but not yet in full force, and the heat threatens to keep us from seeing it come to fruition.
So how will you survive the hottest, driest days? Will you hide in the cool comfort of your home and hope that the fires do not reach you? Will you offer water to those in need, that they may survive with you to the the rain’s return? Will you keep your portion of the harvest safe, or will it be stolen by those who have too much already and crave only more, more, more?
I feed to survive; even when I do not eat all of a kill, I provide much-needed food for other beings. I take the weak, and leave the strongest prey running well-fed on what greenery remains. My actions benefit others as well as myself, and we are all in this forest and field together. How do your actions affect others? Are you able to benefit the world, or do you only take? Do you make the best use of resources, so that they do not go to waste?
Think, as the sun shines late into the evening, of where that balance is rolling to. What may the fall bring, and how will you welcome it in?
