Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Chariot, reversed. There are too many cooks in the kitchen! Everyone has an idea of what needs to be done and how to get there, but the problem is that often these plans conflict with each other. If you waste all your time arguing, then nothing gets done. So start by identifying common goals, and then see if you can find commonalities in your strategies. Focus on what makes you and your ideas alike, and see if you can put the focus on those, and then work out the details from there. You may need to compromise some, but if the end result is that you can make some progress, then it was worth it.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Seven of Pentacles. I know the past few days have had some tough readings, but today is a good day to look at your achievements and blessings. You wouldn’t be where you are today if you hadn’t worked so hard, and even if you aren’t where you would like to be just yet, you’re further along that path than if you’d never tried. So give yourself some credit, and take a moment to reflect on your successes.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is Strength, reversed. It’s all too common for people to feel that they aren’t as good or strong or resilient as they really are. If you speak well about yourself you’re seen as bragging or being too proud. So it can be really difficult to develop a healthy sense of self-confidence, especially if you’re constantly worried someone is going to tear you down. Today’s reading, then, is a call to spite those small-minded, overly competitive people, and to work on knowing–not just believing–that you are worthy, strong, and all the other good things that you know you are deep down inside.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Nine of Pentacles, reversed. This card is actually carrying over the message from yesterday’s Pocket Osteomancy reading. Don’t take what you have for granted, and don’t assume that you’ll get to rest on your laurels any time soon. While you are making progress, you also have limited amounts of time, energy and other resources left. You may be tempted to squander them in your eagerness to reach greener pastures, but pace yourself: you don’t want to run out of gas before you hit the finish line.

Tooth: The Tooth is curled up next to the Vertebra in Spring. This suggests that your words say that you’re willing to wait just a little longer while the situations you are waiting for take their time to shift and change and complete. When others talk about plans for the future, you state that the future will be here in time, and that it’s best to be patient. After all, Spring flowers do signal that change is occurring, but they are the promise of fruition, not fruition itself, so it’s not yet time to harvest.
Vertebra: This bone is also in Spring. Your resources are actually wearing thin; it’s been a tough, long Winter, and you need to make what you have last just a little while longer. Spring can sometimes be the most dangerous time, because it’s all too easy to be lulled into a sense of security by the lengthening days and warmer weather. While there may be a few new options available, they aren’t the full flush of Summer’s growth just yet, and if you run out, you don’t have enough options to keep going.
Rib: And a third bone in Spring. You’re worn out, I understand that. With all that you’ve been through, it’s no surprise that you don’t have a lot of patience or resilience left. You’re having trouble finding space to rest and recover, and even when you are able to slow down a bit, it’s not enough to get rid of that persistent ache inside. There is hope on the horizon, but it can’t come fast enough for you.
Long Bone: This is the outlier, sitting in Fall. You know you should be taking more reserved actions, and yet here you are, acting as though everything is full and flush and hearty. Maybe you’ve lost control because you’re just so tired and you want something to make you feel better. Or maybe you’re just tired of living in starvation mode. Either way, you’re on the path to sabotaging yourself, and putting all that you’ve sacrificed for at risk.
Overview: Listen, it’s been hell for a lot of us lately; you aren’t alone. But you need to hold out just a little while longer. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but we have to make it to that end before we can bask in its glory. Shake yourself off, and hang on for the last leg of this ordeal. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth the patience in the end.
Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Happy Squirrel, reversed. Your confirmation bias is showing! You’re trying too hard to make patterns where there are none, and assuming everything has some super-important spiritual message for you. Instead of placing yourself at the center of the universe, just accept that you are a tiny part of a monumentally enormous, complex system full of galaxies that you will never lay eyes upon, but which are no less important than you are. Instead, allow the other beings in the world to be themselves without trying to force some meaning on them; let the squirrel just be a small, furry mammal going about its business regardless of what you think of it. Appreciate them on their own merit, instead of whatever meaning you can squeeze out of them to try to make yourself feel better about your place in the world. The more you can allow the other beings to be themselves, the more you can see yourself as a diverse community of independent living beings, each with their own amazing story. (You’re included in that, of course.)

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Emperor. You’re going to have to fight to keep what you’ve won, but that doesn’t mean that you have to start the arguments yourself. Rather, have a solid defense, and choose your actions carefully. You don’t want to start up conflict where it wasn’t there before. Learn to respond rather than react, and you’ll be in a much better place to preserve what you’ve got going for you.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the World. There will soon be a sense of completion, and an opening up of new horizons. The struggle we have been dealing with will fall away, and we will wonder for a moment at how easy it is to move when we are less encumbered. Don’t let this heady feeling of freedom send you off the Fool’s cliff just yet, though. Instead, allow yourself to soak in the feeling of accomplishment and success, and allow yourself to coast along on your own momentum for a while.

Tooth: The Tooth is crossing over from Summer into Fall, leading the rest of the bones that way. You know that while you’ve been riding high on your current wave, it’s going to be time to shift gears soon enough, and prepare for quieter times. It’s good that you’re at least taking the time to plot your course now, rather than waiting until everything falls apart entirely. It may be sad to see the end of your current fun, but that doesn’t mean the future has to be dour. Just allow yourself to hang onto the good memories, and look forward to time to recuperate.
Vertebra: This bone is firmly in Summer. You’re feeling good, building up the resources you need and making the most of windfalls. You may even have let yourself be somewhat indulgent at times. And it’s okay–we need to be nice to ourselves! Just remember that everything you’re doing now isn’t just for the moment; you’re also saving up reserves for future times. So make sure that you don’t entirely squander this period of growth.
Rib: This is another bone in Summer, tucked in tightly with the Long Bone. You feel good and confident, you have plenty to look forward to, and you’re enjoying yourself! However, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing emotionally, and you can’t be soaring high all the time. You’re eventually going to need to give yourself a break, if for no other reason than so you can appreciate the really, really good times as the amazing moments that they are. You also want to avoid emotional burnout, as you can end up getting tired of things you used to really enjoy.
Long Bone: Also in Summer, snuggled up to the Rib, you’ve been letting your heart guide your actions, and while it may seem like the best thing ever, you know that eventually this ride has to end. You need to start separating these two bones; while you’re welcome to keep doing the things you’ve been enjoying for a while, you’re going to need to slow your roll eventually so that you don’t end up careening far off course. And if you’re too ruled by your emotions, you may not be able to adapt as well as you need to as things shift and change around you.
Overview: There’s nothing wrong with hitting a really good stride, whether in love, work, or other areas of your life. And you should enjoy it while you can! But life has its ups and downs, and the honeymoon has to end eventually. It doesn’t mean that you’re going to be tossed into a pit of despair or anything; it just means that once the shine wears off you need to be prepared for the reality of the situation, which will be more balanced. So make the most of what you have now, and save up some reserves for the future. Things will slow down eventually, and offer you a chance for a more contemplative and relaxed view in which you may have to deal with some of the less fun aspects. As long as you maintain a good balance within as well as outside of yourself, you’ll be able to take the benefits of your current situation far into the future.
Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Hermit. The female hornbill spends her entire nesting and brooding term walled up in the crevice of a dead tree, with only a tiny hole connecting her to the world. After several weeks she breaks out, not only sharing her fledglings with the world, but sporting a glorious new set of flight feathers. As we are beginning to emerge from the pandemic–though we aren’t out of the woods yet–let’s see if we can make our own fabulous return to the world at large. We may still have to exercise caution to keep each other safe, and we may need some time to adjust to the way things are now. But we can see light shining through the hole in the wall, and it’s time to start planning a shift for the better.
