Tooth: The Tooth is on the border of Winter and Spring. You may be feeling muddled and unsure of things, as though the world is changing faster than you were prepared for. Part of you wants to stay in the familiarity of the comfort zone, but another part knows that you need to be able to adapt to the changes. You also know that “new” doesn’t always equal “better”, which may be part of why you’re so hesitant to make a decision. So it may be difficult to get yourself up to speed with what’s different, especially what you’re not happy about. But adapt you must, whether you like it or not.
Vertebra: This bone is well set in Spring. While it may seem like a bright situation, Spring is full of promises for the future, but lean gifts for the now. Part of what may be making the present so stressful is that you’ve been through a lot and you know how precarious things are, and you’re loathe to lose what resources and opportunities you still have. On the bright side, you’re aware of how precious these things are and that makes you less likely to squander them. So you may have a better chance of getting through the next stage of things without completely falling apart, though you’ll need to manage yourself carefully to do so.
Rib: This bone is settled in Summer, but close to the center. You may be trying to put on a happy face, but underneath you know how unpredictable things can be, and it’s hard to hide that worry. I’m not going to sugarcoat things and say everything’s going to be okay, because there are a lot of uncertainties and things that you have no control over. However, if only for your own mental health, do your best to focus on what’s good in life, what you do still have and can enjoy, even if it’s only temporary. You need to engage in self-care in order to be resilient enough to move forward, and sometimes that means giving yourself a break from all the rumbling trouble in the distance.
Long Bone: This bone is crossing the Rib in Summer. Like your internal life, you’re also outwardly trying to act like everything is okay. (Narrator: everything was not, in fact, okay.) There’s a strength to this, though, because it keeps you from just completely falling apart. And even though you may feel awful and tired and frustrated, you know you have to just keep putting one foot in front of the other through the whole ordeal. Some days you may feel like an automaton in doing so, but at least you’re making necessary progress. You know that this is not all there is to life, and that things will continue to change, including potentially for the better. Keep going.
Overview: This is a tougher reading than it may appear at first. You know that you can’t stay where you are forever, and that if you try to hang on everything will change around you and there’ll be nothing left to hold. But you’re also wary of the changes, and justifiably so, and they’re definitely taking a toll on you. You may have to fake it til you make it, both inside and out, and that’s going to suck. But there’s really nothing else for it, and at least you have some resources to help you get through this difficult time until you can see how everything looks once the shaking is done and the dust settles out.
Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the King of Swords. “With great power there must also come–great responsibility!” So ended Spider-man’s origin story in Amazing Fantasy #15. All too often people enjoy power over others, without also accepting the responsibility they have toward their charges. Today, look at the balances of power in your life, whether you’re the one in charge or the one taking orders. Where could those in power be abusing their privileges, and how might they be brought back around to the responsibilities they have neglected?

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Five of Cups. Another Five, after yesterday’s Five of Wands! Today, things look pretty bleak. You’ve lost a lot, as have many of us over the past year. And it’s okay to spend time mourning it, especially whatever–or whoever–may not be coming back. At the same time, make sure you look for the silver lining and the “it could have been worse but wasn’t” situations. Those bits of hope and gratitude may help buoy you through the grief and difficulty.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Five of Wands. Don’t rise to the bait. Someone’s trying to distract you and get you riled up, but it’s important that you not waste your energy on them. Just do your best to stay focused on what’s really important. You may have to act if they intensify their attempts to sabotage you, but don’t give them any more of yourself than is absolutely necessary.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Two of Cups. This is a great sign, especially in the wake of the two reversed Tens we saw earlier in the week. It signifies a return to balance in at least one area of your life, a place where you can find some stability amid the chaos. Treasure that place, even if you’ve taken it for granted before. You disrespect it when you say “Yeah, great, but ALL THIS OTHER STUFF SUCKS!!!” It’s fine to acknowledge that there are things in your life that are terrible, but don’t let them overshadow what is genuinely going well.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Ten of Cups, reversed. Ouch. This on the heels of day before yesterday’s reversed Ten of Swords! If you keep on hanging onto the past, all that’s going to happen is decay and loss. Everything you’ve built up will crumble over time because you won’t let it evolve. Eventually you’ll drive people away from you, and make yourself miserable. So it’s imperative that you do the very best you can to make at least a little progress. I know there are lots of factors beyond your control, and no one expects you to be able to change that. But focus hard on whatever you can control, even if it’s all internal for now. Your future depends on it.

Tooth: The Tooth is crossing over from Spring into Summer. This indicates that you are eager and ready to make things happen, and you have a damned good plan. You will need all your skill and savvy to make the most of what’s ahead, but you know you can do it, even if there are doubts that nibble at you now and then. Have confidence in yourself and your abilities, be patient in areas where you need to catch up a bit, and you’ll do well.
Vertebra: This bone has just crossed over from Winter into Spring. Your challenge is going to be to do a lot with a little. You may not be fully recovered from previous setbacks and lean times, but the good news is that you’ve learned how to stretch what you’ve got. And if all goes well, you’re about to embark on a great recovery! So play it smart, but not too cautious; you may need to take a bit of a risky step forward to make progress.
Rib: This bone is fully in Spring. You’ve been through a lot, and you’re tired, but there is hope! Things are about to change for the better! Let that possibility of a better future buoy you up. It doesn’t mean you have to completely throw off your exhaustion, but give yourself the space to actually heal rather than hanging onto the bad experiences of the past.
Long Bone: This bone is right next to the Vertebra and is also almost entirely crossed over from Winter to Spring. You may be letting your thin resources hold back your actions. While this may have been what helped you get through rough times, you need to allot some of those resources toward recovery and growth, rather than just survival. You can’t stay in this spot forever, and you have the competence to use what you’ve got creatively and effectively. So unfetter yourself, and allow yourself to stretch out your arms to embrace the good things ahead.
Overview: When we have gone through hard times, those experiences mark us. It can be difficult to break out of the behavior patterns we took on to survive, but we need to remember that we learned a lot of valuable survival skills that we can use to get ourselves out of that hole. There are new possibilities ahead, and if we just allow ourselves to move toward them we can make the most of a shining new day.
