Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Queen of Pentacles. Have you taken your medicine today? Have you fed yourself, and had enough water? How’s your sleep schedule? This is a really good time for you to review your self-care regimen and figure out whether it needs some changes or fine-tuning, or whether you just haven’t been sticking to it enough. (It happens to all of us, trust me!) You are your own best friend, and you need to advocate for yourself. The best way to do that is to take good care of yourself (within your abilities and means, of course) so that you’re as ready for anything as you possibly can be.

Note: I am now doing Skull Scrying readings for the Sabbats. These are generally readings I do privately, but the skulls decided some limited public readings would also be acceptable.
Today’s Imbolc Skull Scrying comes from Red Fox. Here is what he had to say:
“The days are lengthening, ever so slightly, but over time the difference adds up. We’ve made it through the first half of winter, and although it’s still cold and the greening is weeks away, yet life still stirs beneath the snow and damp. There is the promise of tomorrow even amid the chill of today.
Yet not all is dreary in the moment. Each day the sun rises is a chance for a new opportunity, some new scent to explore or bit of nourishment to enjoy. And we should give thanks that we are here in this moment, that we are able to experience food and light and the turning of the Earth, for many have lost their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with this world. Give them a thought in the darkness of the winter night, but breathe in the life-giving air and feel it fill your lungs, breath after breath. That is the most precious gift we receive, moment after moment.
Though your paws may be wet from the snow and the mud, and times may be lean, know that flowers wait beneath the surface. And you may still watch the light play upon the trunks of the trees, and feel the wind against your face. Revel in these sensations and more, and let the sun lengthen its time here with each passing day.
You, yourself, are the flame that burns bright until the spring returns!”

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is Justice, reversed. Here is the way of the world: sometimes people who do horrific things go unpunished, and sometimes it is the innocent who suffer instead. This is one of the fundamental problems of trying to break the world down into a strict good/evil binary. Instead of trying to shoehorn everyone and everything into neat little categories, instead focus on easing suffering wherever you may find it, in all its complicated causes and effects. There are no easy answers, and that makes many people give up, but that just makes it that much more important that we persist in trying to make the world better for everyone as best as we can.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Nine of Wands, reversed. One of the hardest things in the world is to have to deal with a difficult situation by yourself. It’s especially devastating when the people you thought you could rely on fell through. Nonetheless, it’s important that you still rise to the challenge, because you are the best ally you’ve got. Don’t give in, and with luck you’ll get through this alright. And who knows? You may find help in the most unexpected of places!

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Ace of Swords, reversed. Remember when yesterday’s Two of Pentacles said you need to bring things back into balance? Well, you’re overlooking something really, really important that you need to make this happen. Stand back, take a fresh look, and don’t let your biases cloud your judgement. Only when you identify that missing piece can your plans move ahead.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Two of Pentacles, reversed. Something’s out of balance, and it’s making the whole wagon shaky! You’re going to need to figure out what’s causing the tilt if you’re going to get back on an even keel here. Hopefully it’s something relatively simple that’s well within your power to change; if it’s going to be be more complicated than that you may need to ask for some assistance. Rest assured that when you’re able to bring this back to balance as best as you can, you’ll see everything else improve, too.

Tooth: The Tooth is settled firmly in Summer. You want to make things happen, and the time is ripe! All those things you’ve been thinking about getting around to? Well, get going on them! You will, of course, want to have a plan rather than leaping in with no direction, but don’t get so wrapped up in the planning that you run out of time and energy for the actual execution thereof. And remember to pace yourself so as to avoid burnout!
Vertebra: This is the only bone all by its lonesome in Winter. However, don’t see it as a setback. Instead, what it’s saying is that you’ve already brought in the harvest, and you have plenty to get you through the lean times. Be sensible about how you use your money, time, energy, and other resources, but also allow yourself to thrive, not just survive. You have things you want to accomplish, and if you keep a good balance, you’ll be able to make them happen without running the coffers dry.
Rib: This bone is tucked up against the Long Bone in Summer. This shows that you are eager to make things happen, and that this creativity is making you happy! And if this is what it takes to boost your mood after the year we just had (and, in some ways, are still having) then by all means, go for it. Allow yourself to really enjoy the process, even if there are parts that are frustrating or otherwise difficult. You have the emotional resilience to weather the rough spots and still be able to ride the wave of joy.
Long Bone: This bone is mostly in Summer, but with the trailing end still in Spring. You may still have a bit of hesitancy in your movement, and you need to figure out what’s holding you back. Are you feeling concerned that you won’t be able to carry out your plans successfully? Or are you worried that the past isn’t as over as you’d like it to be and you don’t want it to come back and bite you? Maybe you legitimately do have some loose ends to tie up before you can really focus on the future, and that’s okay. Just do what you need to do to shake off the last of what’s keeping you tied down, and then you can focus on the road ahead.
Overview: Notice how the Long Bone, Rib and Tooth are all clustered together. This suggests that your head, heart, and action are all aligned in purpose, though the Long Bone says you need to make sure you get a clean start on this endeavor. Still, things are favorable, and the Vertebrae assures you that as long as you’re sensible you have the reserves to make this happen. Overall, this is a very positive reading that’s encouraging you to go for it, whatever it may be!
Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Ace of Cups. Resiliency is the name of the game here. Even if you fall down, you’re able to get back up (even if you have to take a breather first!) And each time you rise, it’s a new opportunity to prove your mettle. You don’t have to be the most forceful person in order to be successful; you just need to be able to outlast the challenges thrown your way.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Ten of Swords, reversed. You’re not helping yourself by delaying the inevitable. All you’re doing is prolonging your suffering. Yes, Doing the Thing is going to suck, but once it’s done you will be better for it, and eventually you’ll feel better. Just be kind to yourself along the way, and remember that this is a temporary setback. You can do it!

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Hierophant, reversed. Power corrupts, and when a leader lets power go to their head, it often means disaster for those they are supposed to be leading. Sometimes the solution is as simple as communicating the issue to said leader, but often things get more complicated than that. Beware those who take the power but not the responsibility, and make sure that if you are in charge that you’re being mindful of those who are looking up to you.
