Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Seven of Wands, reversed. Sometimes you have to compromise, even if you didn’t really want to. There are hills to die on, but this is not one. So swallow your pride, and allow some concessions to the other side. It’s not going to be a fun ride, but it’s necessary, because if you keep fighting you’re going to just wear yourself out. Live to fight another day, okay?

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Five of Pentacles. This is not a fun card. It refers to times of loss and setback, and I am so sorry if this resonates with you today. We all have these sorts of situations, though those who are disadvantaged have a harder time weathering them. So today I want to emphasize the need for support systems for all people, especially those who don’t have a lot of resources to begin with, because everyone eventually finds themselves in dire straits, and everyone deserves to have the help they need to get out.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Eight of Pentacles. If you have skills, that is a fine thing indeed. And there is nothing wrong with wanting to try others. However, there is also value in being able to hone a skill to a finer edge, becoming better at it with time and potentially mastering it. Today, think about where you may focus on depth instead of breadth, and what that may gain you.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Ace of Cups. Today, focus on compassion and empathy. It’s all too easy to become insensitive to the feelings and needs of others. When we forget that other living beings are just as sensory and alive as we are, we tend to treat them poorly. Instead, let’s work on being able to put ourselves in another’s shoes (or paws, or hooves, or fins…), not to pretend to be another being, but to remember to respect and care for them and do what we can to better the world for them as well as ourselves.

Tooth: The Tooth is settled firmly in Summer; that means your planning and decisions should be all about growth. How can you can from where you are now to where you want tobe? How can you make the most of what you have right now, and use it to create a better future? You may have to get creative with your resources, especially if you’re operating on a shoestring, but there are ways to be savvy with what you have going forward.
Vertebra: This bone is in Fall, which suggests this is a good time to be setting something aside, again for the future. You’ve seen how tough things can get, and being prepared for challenges will make it easier for you to see them through. So if you get a windfall, or a chance to rest, or an offer for help, make the most of these opportunities that can help you recharge yourself (or your bank account) so that you’re better able to travel the road ahead.
Rib: This is another bone in Summer, closely paralleling the Tooth. Grow your connections to others! You know that thing about “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know?” Well, that doesn’t just go for overly ambitious MBAs trying to climb the ladder to the top. It also means something to those of us whose goals may be a little more humble, and who want to grow a stronger community as well as a stronger self. So if you haven’t had a chance to reach out to your friends and family in a while, take a little time to touch base. And although socializing can be tough in a pandemic, if you’re able to meet new people (even if it’s just online) take a chance and see who’s out there!
Long Bone: This bone is right in the center, crossing every quadrant except Fall. Your actions are going against you; you’ve been trying to do too much at once. Instead, what you need to do is rein things in, and really narrow down your activity to what’s going to help you most in the long run. That doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to have any fun (remember that message to recharge yourself?) Instead, look at places where you may be wasting your time and energy in fruitless, unhealthy activities, and instead redirect those personal resources to investing in yourself.
Overview: You matter a lot, more than you give yourself credit for. And right now is a great time to look to your future. I know there’s a lot going on in the world that can make the future seem grim; however, while you can’t control the entire world, you can control your own little piece of it. And that includes working to make it better and more sustainable for the future. You aren’t just doing this for yourself, though you are a worthy cause; you’re also making things better for your community. So spend some time figuring out what actions you can take, no matter how small, to work toward these positive, constructive goals.
Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Five of Swords. Today, learn to pick your battles. You only have so much energy and time to go around; don’t waste these precious resources on useless arguments. Instead, focus your attention and effort on tasks that will make a difference for sure. You want to work to make the world a better place, and the most effective way is to be selective in how many directions you send your energy.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Knight of Cups. Be on the lookout for signs that things are getting better! You may have to be mindful of confirmation bias, but at a certain point there’ll be too much evidence in your favor to suggest wishful thinking. Once you see things start heading in your direction, rise up to greet them, and embrace the new opportunity that opens to you.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Six of Wands. This card represents being acknowledged for your efforts. Hopefully this means that someone will notice what you’ve been doing, and show their appreciation for all that hard work and investment. However, this goes both ways. If you’ve noticed someone whose efforts may not have been as valued as they should be, take the time to acknowledge them. You’ll be amazed how far a simple thank you will go!

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Star. Today, allow yourself to hope. Yes, it makes you vulnerable, and you’ve been hurt before. That’s why hoping is so very brave an act, really. When we give up hope, we give up everything, and that makes it more likely that the world will fall deeper into shadow (as Tolkien puts it.) You are allowed to temper your hope with realism, of course; setting your sights too high will necessarily lead to disappointment. But if you only look at the losses, then you never get a chance to appreciate the wins, no matter how small. So today: hope.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the High Priestess. Today, go with your gut. There are things you know deep down are true, and when you get a sense that something isn’t right, there’s a good chance it isn’t. However, in order to get to your intuition you have to dig deep through your biases and shake off your preconceived notions. Ask yourself why you feel unsettled, and then figure out whether there’s a real reason, or whether you’ve just been fooling yourself into fear. Once you free yourself of these bonds of perception, the way will seem much clearer.
