The Daily Cast of today teaches us to give equal attention to the sacred feminine by drawing our attention to the Goddess. In Neo-pagan circles it is widely understood that the forces that power our world are not exclusively male, nor female and working with both God(s) and Goddess(es) honors the balance between those forces. Yesterday we gave extra attention to the mother(s) in our lives, today we do the same on a more spiritual level. Honour the Great Mother!

I tend to read this particular combination of coins in it's most literal meaning today. Our mum or the mothers amongst my readers are in need of some extra attention. Motherhood can be a complicated task and today we need some extra care. Let us contact our actual mother (not necessarily our bio mom but a person that fulfills that role for us) to make sure that they are alright. 

Preparing ourselves for the future by making plans and setting aside some money to fulfill them is in itself a virtuous thing. To a certain extent it ensures our safety and stability. However, whenever the opponent - also known as the Challenger - is on the table, we know that the Oracle is warning us not to take things into the extreme. In this case we are alerted to the fact that we run the risk of forgetting our present by looking too hard at the future. Life is that which is happening today while we are preparing for tomorrow, so don't miss it!

Not all that is old is worth keeping! That goes for ideas but -in this particular cast- even more so for material stuff. If we keep stacking new things on top of the things we already have, we will end up with a pile of items that are utterly useless in their overwhelming quantity. Let's review what we have got so far, only keep what is helping us further and refrain from accumulating more stuff. It is time for a good cleaning. Cobwebs Adieu, empty spaces welcome!

"If only I had the talent", or, "I will never be as good as..." We are our own worst critics, we don't dare to take up painting, or to sing or to dance and constantly worrying if the result is aesthetically pleasing to others. If only we could be playful and creative like a child every now and again, enjoying ourselves without holding back! It is important to create moments in our lives in which we can express ourselves, unencumbered, without boundaries, regardless of our own uncertainties. Let's create and enjoy it! 

The time to gather as much information as we can and to roam the internet indefinitely in our search for more details is over. We know what we need to know, now it is up to us to actually do what we need to do. Let's be brave and make the decision; it is a good day for it. Remember that not choosing is also a choice, but in that scenario we allow are agency to seep away, condemning ourselves to whatever random outcome comes of it. So let's do this, the choice is ours to make.

Yesterday the Fairy wished for us to be free in our expressions of joy. Today she shows that if we can reach that freedom, the world is a wonderful place, full of possibilities. Its opportunities are limited only by the limits of our imagination. She encourages us to open our eyes and our hearts to new ideas.  We owe it to the inquisitive nature of our spirit to let it roam free from time to time. That we may become filled with wonder and awe, and that we will forever feel the magic in our world.

If only we could be playful and creative like a child every now and again, enjoying ourselves without holding back! It is important to create moments in our lives in which we can express ourselves, unencumbered, without boundaries, as free as a the Gods intended us to be. Let's find s moment of creative joy today and let making moments like that into a hobby!

So many ideas are ricocheting through our head we do not know which one to choose. Do we stay or do we go, are we going on a trip or do we spend a week in the comfort of our home, do we want to switch career or do we consolidate what we have and try to better ourselves there? Let's not drive ourselves crazy with all the options available. Today is not the day to form a definite opinion about anything. Let's go with the flow for a while and leave the starting of new things for another day.

Somebody is in need of help but find it really difficult to ask for it. And if they did ask somebody to help them,  they try to micromanage those who come to their aid. That is the challenge of the Lady who finds it difficult to let go of her control over the situation. So, a moment of honesty; is this us? Or is it somebody we are trying to help but isn't really letting us do it? In either case we need patience and gentleness towards this situation. Accepting help is not the same thing as handing over our agency. Let that be clear to all parties involved. 

It is tempting to avoid dealing with a tricky situation or a difficult problem by ignoring it's existence. Withdrawing, for example by sleeping a lot more than usual, is one of the many strategies we can employ to avoid the confrontation with our responsibilities. Often this is an unconscious mechanism , so let's be on our guard; are we exceptionally tired and do we want to sleep all the time? Maybe it is our body's  way of expressing the discomfort we feel with a situation that we really need to resolve. Let us no longer postpone this duty but get it done as soon as we can. We will feel liberated once we've done it.
