Weekly Tarot Pull - 6/22/26

Oh man, it's been a week. I've been doing more in my practice, which has been really nice! I've also been dealing with a sore back, possibly a pulled muscle. That's been hindering me a bit to do what I want/need to do, but I'm not letting it stop me completely!

Here's today's pull and my reflections for the week!

• Card: The Sun
• Deck: The Rider Tarot Deck by Arthur Edward Waite
• LWB description: Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment. Reversed: The same, in a lesser sense.

We have the OG deck this week! And it read me for filth! I really feel called out this time, not gonna lie. I really need to work on being more positive.

Being more of an optimist is definitely something I've struggled with my whole life. I tend to be pretty pessimistic, especially towards myself. I'm awful about being self-deprecating and putting myself down when I struggle or fail at something. Chronic depression and anxiety certainly don't help my case. Things have gotten better over the years, and especially within the last year, regarding my mental health. But those pesky little thoughts always seem to pop up at the worst times. I have to remind myself to be nicer to myself quite often.

I do also think this card is reminding me to look forward to the good things ahead. I have a trip to Nashville planned for later this week that I'm super excited about! I'm also excited to go to the Renaissance Faire on Friday! I have a new things to study and experience within my craft! There are so many things to look forward to, I just have to remind myself that they're there.

Gratefulness is another thing I need to keep in mind. Although I don't have a job, I'm so grateful I still have a roof over my head, food to eat, and internet to write and post this blog. I'm grateful for my husband who loves me and takes care of me, even when times are tough. Honestly, I'm grateful to be alive right now, even though the world feels like it's crumbling around me. My depression often tells me there's no point to living, and my anxiety tells me that nothing will ever go the way I want, but I know that's not true. Not if I actually put in the work and make things work in my favor.

Yeah, positivity is something I need more of in my life, especially recently. There've been a lot of deaths over the last couple of weeks. Oliver Tree, Daveigh Chase (the voice actress for Lilo in Lilo and Stitch), and a family friend. My sister-in-law has terminal breast cancer and has decided to stop chemo altogether, and has started using holistic medicine to make herself feel better. She knows it won't cure anything, but at least she's not sick from chemo and can enjoy whatever time she has left. She's always smiling and happy every time I see her. I know this is bothering her, but she has such a positive attitude about the whole situation. She wants to be happy and go out and do things with friends and family while she's still got time here on earth. If she can put on a brave face every day and enjoy all the small things in life, then why can't I?

Changing your outlook on life isn't easy. We humans are creatures of habit, and old habits die hard. But it's not impossible. Yeah, the world is kinda going to shit right now. But we're all still alive, right? As long as we're still breathing and conscious, we can be the positive change we want to see in the world.

I'm gonna try to be a little kinder to myself. I'll try not to call myself dumb or stupid, I'll try to love my figure a little more, I'll try to not push myself so hard when my body is telling me to rest. I'm doing better with my hygiene and self-care. I'm drinking water and sleeping slightly better. It's raining outside, and I think I'll curl up on the couch after posting this blog and take a cozy little nap with the dog. My body is telling me to rest. I'd better listen :)

Hope you enjoyed reading this week's blog! Let me know your thoughts and if anything resonated. See ya next Monday!
