I have
found a wonderful spread on Daily Tarot girl for self love to perform on, or just
before Valentine’s day. I have never been
a fan of Valentine’s day before. When my
husband was still living with us it wasn’t that popular yet and nowadays you
can imagine it is not something we pay any attention to. Until now! What a
perfect day to celebrate Self Love. There will be definitely lots of chocolate involved
and who knows what other goodies and treats I can come up with.
But first
let’s have a look at this wonderful spread made by Kate. I have used the Anna K Tarot. Not the most romantic deck I have,
but it turned out to be a really good choice. It has become a beautiful layout especially
with the yellow center card and all the blue cards around it.

1 Relationship to Self – What is your relationship with your Self like?
The Six of Wands. I am glad to be able to agree fully with
this card. When I consider where I’ve come from I really see myself as a
winner. Doesn't mean I am there yet, but
still.
2 Admirable Qualities – The parts of yourself that are easy to love
The
Hermit. I love to be on my own. I am a Hermit in heart and soul
3 Disowned Self – Your “shadow”aspects, the parts of yourself that need more
love and acceptance from you
The three of Pentacles. I see this as my creativity being locked in the basement. I have to accept that a difference between dream and
reality is always going to be there and I shouldn't let it keep me from
creating
4 Release – Judgements and expectations that you need to release in
order to be more loving to you.
Seven of Wands. I have to let go of the fighting against myself. Let go of my
own stifling expectations and strive for perfection. It is smothering me, it is
exhausting me and it is keeping me from doing anything at all.
5 More Love – Something loving and nurturing that you can do for
yourself right now !
Page of
Cups. Playtime! This page will help
me to enjoy the creative activity itself instead of being focused on the result. With
his mentality, I am sure I am going to have some fun on Valentine’s day.
I
wish you all a very loving Valentine’s day
I just did this spread, and it was definitely enlightening: 1. 2 of Swords 2. 3 of Pentacles 3. Queen of Swords 4. 8 of Swords 5. King of Cups.
ReplyDeleteI do have a like/don't like relationship with myself, usually because I don't think I am living up to my expectations. I do like working creatively, and I do well with small groups with such things. I often see things clearly and say so, but then feel like a bitch when I do (even when I say them kindly). I often feel trapped by financial or family restrictions, and this keeps me from moving forward in many areas of my life. I need to take the king's advice and love myself unconditionally while at the same time, detach from drama and the emotional baggage of others.
Thank you for sharing this one, Ellen! Happy Heart Day to you!
Thank YOU for sharing your spread here. And what a lovely card to get on the 5th position.
DeleteLovely how you call Valentine's day, Heart Day. That name includes love in every form
What a great spread! I've written it down to try out later. I love when visually (color, the way people on cards are facing each other, or not, etc) create another layer of meaning for a reading. So your bright yellow center card is so wonderful. I adore spreads like this that aren't "scary" - all the way around it provides great insights, and is very affirming. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw it on Daily Tarot Girl I was immediately taken away by it. I don't like "scary"positions in a spread either. Tarot should be about guidance and not about fear.
DeleteThat spread does look lovely with the warm, yellow centre. And what great cards - had to laugh at the Seven of Wands popping up again, and I love the reminder to be creative even if it isn't perfect :)
ReplyDeleteYes I've noticed that too :)
DeleteI hope I will be able to play and have some fun with creating instead of dreading the result. It would be a lovely Valentine gift to myself
Love it! You got some nice cards here and the messages seem nice and clear :) I love seeing my spreads being used, so thank you for posting this and sharing it!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Kate (daily tarot girl)
