If I replace 'someone else' with 'myself', then this sort of applies to me. I'm doing a major house declutter/deep clean at the moment to try and help declutter my mind, refresh my energies, and make it easier to get through my challenging day job I'm taking a bunch of supplements etc to help boost myself.

What kind of alternate food/ diets can I focus on this month ?

Ooh this is a toughie, but I'll give it a shot
* Happy tarot

Before turning the cards, I got an intuitive flash of "big dish" dishes - almost like Indian or Sri Lankan foods. Huge clay platter type things, perhaps filled with a curry or rice-based dish. The sort of thing you'd expect to see served at a home feast amongst friends/family. The vibe seems to be about simple food that's easy to cook - everyone eating the same thing, bulk-cooking etc.

9 of Swords rev
2 of Cups
Knight of Wands

I'm seeing a fair bit of stress and anxiety here, which may be able to be alleived if you can ensure your diet is more of a shared experience than something you have to shoulder yourself. In particular, I'm seeing that getting others involved in the cooking (eg kids if you have them) may be a suitable step. In this deck, the 2 of Cups literally shows two kids cooking together, which is kind of cute :)

So in a nutshell: It seems less about what you're eating, and more about food preparation and making food preparation more of an integrated social activity within your household...! yikes I hope this resonates.

Well I am Indian, so lots of vegetarian dishes, rice, lentils etc. Not sure about huge clay platter dish though, or the sort you would expect to see at home feast.. No, we dont have a party lol

I am never anxious about food. I love food, and I love cooking, and I also love to try different cuisines, m taurus lol, we love food. So well cooking is never a burden for me , it's not something I feel like I have shoulder myself. Even when m on my vegetarian diet or watching what I eat, I am always taking notes on different way to cook vegetables, meat etc as well. If not for myself for others ( I have venus in cancer ) they are all about food !
No I dont have kids, but I enjoy cooking as if I were a kid lol and also I love to cook for others.

So in a nutshell: It seems less about what you're eating, and more about food preparation and making food preparation more of an integrated social activity within your household...! yikes I hope this resonates.

Cooking is an integral social activity in my household. I love to cook when I can. Now my focus is to bring things to moderation, like you said earlier reading less temptation lol, and healthier foods, same way. Just shifting focus :)

Good try ! thanks for the time and effort !

My Q: What am I currently really worried about that I can be much less worried about? (Cues: 9 of Wands rev, King of Wands)

[tealily]

ooh! That would make sense then. I think my head was just trying to show me an image of what I see as easily-recognisable indian food - communal dishes, dark-skinned people etc.

The rest of it seems a bit off, but I don't have a food-specific deck so happy with the intuitive bit at least

A: Five of swords, the lovers, The sun, The tower

You are really worried about whether you are being too strict with your children regarding boyfriends. Looks like this is a daughter. The message is that you don't have that much control over this situation -- release and let go. You have taught her well, she'll make good decisions.

Q: What should I know tonight?

Guidelines are the same as last time - this thread is intended to facilitate tarot/oracle/lenormand etc practice between members of the forum, whether beginner or advanced. In the spirit of fair play, readings are performed as thus:

[tealily opens thread]
Reader A reads for tealily
Reader B reads for Reader A
Reader C reads for Reader B
Reader D reads for Reader C (...and so on).

How to play:

1) Do a reading for whoever's turn it is (see "next reading for ____" tag) and post in-thread. The choice of deck or spread is entirely up to you.

2) Post your question (anything goes so long as not a third-party question, ie what someone else is thinking/feeling about you).

3) Post feedback after you've received your followup reading.

4) Please write "Next reading for ___[last reader's username here]___" at the bottom of every post to make it easier to keep track of who's turn it is to be read for.

Some guidelines:

- Are you a beginner and freaking out? No worries! It's all about experience. Every time you have to look up what a card means, or spend two minutes thinking about what a card might mean in relation to another card, it makes you a more knowledgeable reader. We recommend the use of a three or one-card spread rather than something complicated (like the Celtic Cross spread, which is sooo not beginner-friendly)

- This is not a freebie reading thread; if you don't have cards or don't feel confident, use a site like http://serennu.com/tarot/pick.php?l=1c to generate an online spread and use biddytarot or similar to find card definitions.

To prevent misuse of this thread, I encourage members to ignore any 'hey I'm not good at this, but can someone do a reading for me? I really need one' posts. That's not fair play! The correct home for these posts is the Reading Requests forum.

Q: What's the best way to proceed if I wish to streamline my project list?

(I'm juggling a lot of things - I know I need to cut down/optimise. Advice on best way to start would be awesome :) )

Should I read using interpretation textbooks or just look at the images and think of something?

[tealily]

@minxoto - if you're a beginner, sometimes looking at the books can be a start, but otherwise feel free to just go with intuition.

I actually don't have children, but good try and thanks for the reading anyway! :)

Q: What should I know tonight?

I was pulling cards from RWS when Fountain announced it wants to read for you, so here goes...

* Fountain Tarot

Moon reversed
Queen of Cups rev
Ace of Wands rev
Knight of Cups

The general gist of this reading is "there's s--- that's been going on'. What you need to know is that even if things have been tough, the good news is that you've seen things at their worst and it's not going to get much more challenging than it is recently, or has been currently (thank god!).

The cards suggest though that the ordeal has taken its toll on you and that you're still not feeling 100%. The energy here is saying that it's time to deal with this and make sure things are addressed - debriefing with friends, even seeing a counsellor if you need to. But don't stay in this headfunk too long.

Whilst this inner work is going on, it's important to not make too many rash moves (Ace of Wands rev) as you're still a bit emotionally compromised. Do the inner work and you'll be in a much better position to make decisions because you'll be able to better assess what's going on in your life, what your options are, and most importantly - what you're truly capable of. The vibe here is that of low self-esteem and low self-efficacy. If you can do that inner work, your confidence will soar.

In the future I'm seeing that things get better and you'll have the opportunity to pursue things that make you happy, but you'll need to do that inner work/healing first (Knight of Cups).

Hope this helps!

Describe something currently going on in my life

Feedback for tearily -- thanks for the advice and feedback. A lot of things have definitely been going on -- time will tell if the advice is true.

A: The moon, justice, nine of swords, queen of swords

You are using your intuitive abilities to make things fair in your life, something that is causing you stress. You are doing this by dumping out some old stuff in your life and nurturing yourself so that you may grow.

Q: What am I the best at?

[tealily]

Feedback for traceyacey
Haha, my day job! The dumping and nurturing is all my personal life stuff - massively decluttering my house and trying to improve my health :)

Reading for traceyacey
* RWS
3 cards, no spread

Aww man! Moon, 9 of Swords, 10 of Pentacles reversed. These cards are saying that you're basically based at freaking out/overthinking when in unfamiliar areas, possibly when you're alone with a lot of people around you that you don't really know/when you're cut off from your usual support network.

not quite sure why the cards are being so blunt here... this is a very 'Fountain Tarot' kind of reading!

Pents 6 - Swords 10 - Pents 8
There will still be many who want your help/attention, but you can ease the burden by finding a different approach to deal with it.
How can Tealily find more pleasure in her work? Wheel of Fortune; you cannot change the situation but you can change how you deal with it. If you can accept that, you can leave Swords 10 behind and find more peace and pleasure in doing what you're good at (pents 8).


QUESTION FAIRYCRYSTAL: How far along am I in my process of getting over my ex?

[angelic star]

Reading for Fairycrystal

QUESTION FAIRYCRYSTAL: How far along am I in my process of getting over my ex?

Judgement, Knight of wands reversed, Fool

It feels that you are still in the process of release and attachment but you are trying, and you have an understanding of how things truly are and that gives you some awareness/ foundation to move on. I feel that in the near future your feelings will still be ripe, and there might be occasions that you might cross path with them, but your feelings will not get the best of you. It's like you could step into your emotions but will have more control/ choice over your action/ reaction. So you will have a solid footing in the future to move on to other relationships/ interactions with ease.
You are on a new journey in any case and the past is past, and there might be newer connection/ new love coming into your life in the coming months.

I hope this relates helps, let me know ~
