Reading: The Weekend Ahead

Today I wanted to do a quick reading for the weekend ahead. I used the Gummy Bear Tarot and asked:

1. What I know about the upcoming weekend.
2. What I don't yet know about the weekend.
3. Advice for the weekend.
4. Outcome of the weekend.

1. What I already know...
Strength
When I saw this image, I laughed out loud. Yesterday my son and I had to administer a pill to our cat. If someone had recorded the event, we could have won a lot of money on America's Funniest Home Videos. We took turns, one of us holding her down and the other attempting to put the pill far enough in her mouth that she wouldn't spit it out. We alternated back and forth many times. Our cat was not having it! She was pissed. It took us awhile, wrestling with her, trying to be firm yet gentle at the same time, finally finding success by holding her mouth shut until she swallowed it. And our sweet cat has already forgiven us, holding no grudges. This fiasco is what immediately came to mind when I turned over this card.

Just know, as I was typing this post, another situation happened that reminded me of this card. Last night I dreamt that one of my daughters came to me with a tooth dangling by a thread. I pulled it out for her. In real life, my other daughter has two loose teeth. I assumed this meant one would fall out today. Just now, my daughter came to me like my daughter in my dream, with her tooth hanging by a thread. I pulled it out for her. I look back at the card, again seeing the gummy bear involved with the lion's mouth.

So this week is chock full of my involvement with others' mouths! Perhaps there is more to come this weekend. Maybe my daughter's other tooth will fall out before the weekend is out.

2. What I don't yet know...
Temperance
It looks like there will be a peaceful flow to the weekend. Things will come together in a way that I can't yet see, but it promises to be beneficial. Sounds good to me!

3. Advice...
Knight of Wands
"Adventure" is the word that came to mind when I saw this card. I had in mind to go on an outing with my kids this weekend. The Knight of Wands suggests that I "up" the ante a bit by making our plans a little more creative, turning it into more of an adventure! He says to squeeze in a little extra fun!

4. Outcome...
Three of Pentacles
Looking at this card, I see the gummy bear being approached about his work. One of the approaching gummy bears holds a rolled piece of paper, perhaps a contract or offer of some sort. My horoscope for this month claims that sometime around the 9th (Monday), give or take a few days, I will experience a new career opportunity. Either a change of pace, or an upgrade. So perhaps this weekend I will see a sign of this by being approached about my work with a new opportunity.

Overall, the cards indicate a promising weekend, so I shall look forward to it, and remember the Knight's great advice!

Looking at the spread as a whole, it looks like the Temperance card is mixing up a little Gentle Strength with some Knight's Adventure and blending them together, creating the rewards that will follow with the Three of Pentacles. I'll see what I can do to mix up a little of that magic for myself this weekend.

Coming next week: I'm going to be doing something a bit different with the blog next week. I'm excited, it should be fun! Stay tuned...
