Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Seven of Cups, reversed. If you are facing a difficult decision, go with your gut. You know deep down what needs to happen. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t temper it with rational consideration, of course. But this is one of those things where you need to be true to yourself, and trust your own judgement. Allowing yourself to be distracted by outside factors could mean trouble ahead.

Today’s (slightly belated) Summer Solstice Skull Scrying comes from Black bear. Here is what she had to say:
“The sun rides high in the sky, and the heat brings out the sharpness in the scents around me. I can smell the water evaporating from morning mist, and I lick my chops. I have been well awake for some time now, first through the time of earthy roots, and then into the time of salmonberries, and now an abundance of grubs to be found in rotted logs. Flowers begin to turn to fruit, with the sun warming the slowly ripening skins.
Life is at its zenith, and all seems well. But the plants know that this is the beginning of the end. The frenzied growth they have experienced since spring’s beginning will be replaced by a gradual senescence as the sun begins its trip back south. Now is our glorious hurrah, and yet these green beings lead the vanguard toward sleep.
Where are you, humans, in your time? Have you already ascended the peak, and are you now beginning the descent? The ever-harsher heat you have brought upon us all says that there is trouble ahead, as there is trouble now. And, moreover, will you be able to survive the times ahead when food and water are scarce, and sickness plagues the land more than ever?
You have such power, humanity, more than any species has ever dreamed of. Yet it has been squandered on selfishness and destruction. As your awareness of this grows, what shall you do with the knowledge you are only now realizing? Life hangs on the precipice, and it could fall either way. To which end will you throw your weight?”

What you cannot do is stay stuck at the crossroad. It is up to you to make your choice, and deal with the clouds that may cover your way for a while. But rest assured that these will pass, and up ahead is the rainbow that’s been waiting the whole time.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the King of Swords. Perhaps you aren’t the expert in everything, but be self-assured in those areas where you do have experience and wisdom. You probably aren’t giving yourself enough credit, and in a society where any sort of self-confidence can be criticized as “bragging”, it is even more crucial that we learn how to stand firm in our expertise. Doing so is not automatically arrogance, and often being well-grounded in one’s strengths can benefit the entire community.

Tooth: The Tooth is crossing over from Winter to Spring. You’re feeling more creative after a period of stasis, and you have ideas you want to bring to fruition. You aren’t quite ready to hit full speed just yet, as your skills may be a bit rusty, and you’re still formulating ideas. But things are looking very good for a comeback!
Vertebra: This bone is in Spring, which suggests that you are ready to increase the resources available. This is good, because you need to fuel to feed that creative fire! You need to remember you’re in a growth period, so allow yourself to explore and try new things out. But also be cautious that you don’t overextend yourself before you’ve really gotten a good footing.
Rib: The Rib is crossing from Spring into Summer, showing that you’re allowing yourself some joy in your creativity! This is going to be so good for you on an emotional level, and you shouldn’t hold your passions back. Instead, allow them to flex and stretch and explore, and don’t let doubt or the criticisms of others get in your way. You are doing this for yourself, first and foremost; everything else is just details.
Long Bone: This bone has almost entirely crossed over from Summer into Fall. You’ve been doing the same old thing for a while now, but the good news is that you’re about to close that cycle and allow yourself space for a new one. And it means that you can reap the benefits of the experiences you had, even if some of them may be lessons on what not to do in the future.
Overview: This is a marvelous time for new creative endeavors! Keep in mind that they don’t necessarily need to be commercialized; you are perfectly justified in just creating for yourself, making whatever you want of things. Don’t force the issue, though. Instead, let your inspiration flow organically, even if that may be in fits and starts at first. You just want to avoid the burnout of the past, so learn from previous errors.
Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Two of Pentacles. Being flexible is the key to being able to deal with life’s ups and downs! We can’t control everything in our lives, nor can we maintain homeostasis forever. What we can do, at least to an extent, is control how we respond to things. Maybe that first reaction is almost involuntary, but then if you’re able to recalibrate yourself once the initial reaction is done, you may have a better chance of getting through the challenge effectively. Accept that you’ll have limitations, and don’t try to expect more of yourself than what is reasonable, but always try to meet things with an air of “Okay, what can I do about this and what can I change–if anything–to make things more favorable to me?”

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is the Ten of Wands, reversed. Ever heard of the sunk cost fallacy? It means tying yourself to something–or someone–longer than is healthy simply because you’ve put so much into them. I’m here to tell you that it is okay to let go, no matter how long you’ve been carrying this burden. Yes, you’ll suffer some losses, but you’ll be better off in the end.

Today’s Tarot of Bones daily draw is Death, reversed. It’s time to let go. There’s so much ahead of you, and yet you’re scared to take that crucial step to move from one stage to the next. It’s okay to be worried or scared, but at some point you have got to let yourself take the risk. The rewards will be well worth it, and you’ll find the peace you need to pay the past to rest.

Tooth: The Tooth is crossing over from Winter to Spring. You’re finally shaking yourself awake and trying to figure out what the next step is. You know you can’t maintain the status quo forever, so where will you go from here? You might not feel quite ready to bite down on a firm solution just yet, but you can at least put out some inquiries and think about possibilities.
Vertebra: The Vertebra is in Fall. One of the nice things about not having done much recently is that it hasn’t cost you as much. So in some areas of your life you may have some reserves to draw on. Obviously you don’t want to blow through everything in one big hurrah, but you can at least use what you’ve got to make your plans for the future. And you can also look at how you managed to hang onto what you have to help you be more prepared going forward, as well as sorting out what you’re lacking and how you might make up that deficit.
Rib: The Rib is also in Fall. This suggests that taking time out, while it may not have been always fun, was necessary to your emotional health. By slowing down a bit, you allowed yourself more time and space to process things. As with your other resources, make sure you don’t burn through your emotional reserves all at once. Instead, use what you’ve learned to pace yourself, and be more ready to approach emotional challenges with balance.
Long Bone: Fully in Summer, this bone is saying it’s time to grow! Put your money where your mouth is, and make some things happen. These other bones are saying the time is right, even if you don’t have a fully clear idea of your destination just yet. But every journey starts with a single step, and everything is pointing toward making it happen.
Overview: A time of quiet is followed up by movement, and this is the precipice before the acceleration. If you wait until the time is completely right, you’re never going to get started because you’ll always find some excuse not to go. You know better than to run yourself thin again, and hard experience has taught you better balance. So be confident in your choices, even if your first few steps aren’t the boldest.
