2019 Chaos Rally #01

This coming week we are being challenged to focus on strengthening our family relationships by building fond memories together with an open heart.


This Coming Week’s Reading


Intro-01-04-19The purpose of this Chaos Rally tarot reading is to take a look at the coming week and see in what way we can challenge ourselves to do better in regards to our overall wellness. I ask you to approach this as a fun brainstorming session of possibilities rather than me prescribing a course of action to you.

And again, in terms of wellness I want to point out that this applies to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the self. All four of these comprise the total sense of being and need to be taken care of in order to be well. As always, and I cannot stress this enough, be sure to speak to the appropriate professional before making changes to your care plan. This is especially true if my reading for some reason inspires a change in diet, exercise, supplements, or medications, or even raises a concern regarding to your health.

I’m not a specialist in any of these fields. My goal is to look at how to manage wellness in the presence and with the cooperation of your professional care team. Please keep this in mind when going over this reading.

Here is the image of this coming week’s reading.

Spread-01-04-19

The Challenge: Ten of Pentacles

Consider in what ways you can be building better and stronger relations you have with those you call family.

Monday-01-04-19Monday Button’s position represents the challenge you need to be working on at this time. Thus, what you need to be working on right now is found within the Ten of Pentacles.

This card centers upon family and the fruits of one’s labor that traditionally comes through family endeavors. More often than not, the work that we do is for (or because of) family. Usually when we see this card is a message about the fulfillment that comes from all that.

Therefore, the challenge for us this week is to focus on our families. This could be our blood relatives or this could be our family of choice. It’s up to you, but either way you need to consider in what ways you can be building better and stronger relations you have with these folks.

The Lesson: Six of Cups

Nostalgia has a way of bridging the past to the future with hope through fond memories.

Grim-01-04-19Grim Lee’s position represents what you need to be learning while working on your challenge. Therefore, your lesson at this time is found within the Six of Cups.

As you can see in the image of this card, she is thinking of the good old days. Nostalgia can be a powerful thing. It has a way of bridging the past to the future with hope through fond memories.

You need to take the time to build happy moments with your loved ones today so that you will have them as memories for tomorrow.

Grim-Monday-01-04-19But, you can’t do this without building happy memories together to look fondly back upon. You need to take the time to build those happy memories with your loved ones today so that you will have them stored away for the hard times tomorrow to carry you into the future together.

The Inner Lie: Five of Cups

Never take for granted or ignore the ones that love you.

Murphy-01-04-19Murphy Law’s position represents the false belief you need to overcome while working on your challenge. The inner lie at this time is revealed within the Five of Cups.

Never take for granted or ignore the ones that love you. They won’t stick around forever if you do and you will come to regret it.

People instinctively go where they feel celebrated. If you want your loved ones to stick around, then you must show them your gratitude and appreciation of them.

Murphy-Monday-01-04-19Good, lasting relationships with our loved ones are like gardens. They require daily care and watering. People instinctively go where they feel celebrated. If you want your loved ones to stick around, then you must show them your gratitude and appreciation of them. You must take the time to learn and use their love languages.

Nostalgia does you no good if your loved ones have abandoned you because you have failed to meet their needs.

Murphy-Grim-01-04-19Nostalgia does you no good if your loved ones have abandoned you because you have failed to meet their needs. There is no getting around this.

The only way to prevent losing those you love most is to emotionally invest in them and create those meaningful bonding moments with them.

Murphy-Monday-Grim-01-04-19Seriously, I can’t stress this enough. The only way to prevent losing those you love most is to emotionally invest in them and create those meaningful bonding moments with them. Give them something to fondly look back upon when they’re not around you so they have a reason to return.

The Wisdom: Queen of Pentacles

The advice here is to love unconditionally as a mother does her children.

Toad-01-04-19Wise Toad’s position represents the wisdom to keep in mind as you work on your challenge. The wisdom you need at this time is found within the Queen of Pentacles.

The persona of this court card is one of nurturing and motherly love. The advice here is to love unconditionally as a mother does her children. She gives without any expectation of receiving anything return and loves fully with an open heart.

People are unable to give what they don’t have, so you must be able to give love without expectation.

Toad-Monday-01-04-19Strong family ties are nurtured with unconditional love. People are unable to give what they don’t have, so you must be able to give love without expectation. If they have it available at that time, they will return it to you.

The stronger the emotion shared between you, the stronger the memory will be.

Toad-Grim-01-04-19Fond memories of anyone cannot be created without experiencing emotional events with others. The stronger the emotion shared between you, the stronger the memory will be. Just make sure those emotions you share are positive ones.

If it becomes a consistent pattern of lacking reciprocity, then be willing to accept that this person is not a true member of your soul tribe and let them go.

Toad-Murphy-01-04-19If it becomes a consistent pattern of lacking reciprocity, then be willing to accept that this person is not a true member of your soul tribe and let them go. Clinging to relationships that do not serve you will only destroy your overall wellness.

Conclusion

The foundation we need for a happy home life is a nurturing, open heart that doesn’t act from a place of fear.

Team-01-04-19Let’s pull back and look at all four cards in the spread.

The foundation we need for a happy home life is a nurturing, open heart that doesn’t act from a place of fear. When we’re able to do this we can create the fond memories that keep our loved ones together.
