Time to clear out the feelings closet to make room for the new season! The 4 of Cups speaks of emotional processing, moving through whatever you’re feeling now, rather than rushing into another type of feeling to escape. Once you deal with the emotions you’re holding back, then you’re all clear to feel something else.
.
Lots of times the best way to move through stuck/tough feelings is to cry. Put on a sad movie or some Gillian Welch and settle in for a feels-fest.
.
And you definitely don’t have to move through all your stuff alone, there are good friends and trustworthy professionals to help. Today I received a beautiful tarot reading from @etshipley, and she held space for me as I talked through a lot of feelings and cried. I highly recommend booking a tarot or astrology reading with her.
(I’m not just the president of Feels Club, I’m also a client.)
.
When you’ve moved through some feelings, you’ll feel lighter. You might also hit a slightly manic punchy stage like I’m in right now, which is when you know it’s definitely time for bed.
.
So tldr: Cry, get some sleep, face the new stuff in the morning when you have space for it.
Daily Tarot: 4 of Cups
I was super resistant to this message and wanted to pull another card. But that's why it's important to look at exactly this one card. The places we're resistant to look are the ones that hold the most potential for growth and truth. The obstacle is the path, and all of that.
.
So today, your invitation from the 4 of Cups is emotional processing. Dealing with your feelings, the old dusty shit you don't want to look at. Striking a balance so you process each feeling as it comes up. Allowing it to flow through you, not holding on or wallowing, and not pushing it away or grabbing for any new feeling because it lets you avoid the hard stuff.
.
This card is blending in with some of yesterday's message from The Moon. Stuff is coming up, and it is uncomfortable. Please know that if you're feeling this, you are not alone. I am too, I bet lots of us are. Please talk to someone if you're feeling a lot of feels. You don't have to do all of the sorting out and processing on your own.
.
And stay with it, even though it's uncomfortable. Comfort is a drug, that shit'll kill you. You are making progress, even if you can't see or feel it yet. Stay awake, stay alive.

All my love today, people. I am here in official witch capacity for readings and energy work, but also feel free to dm me if you just need to touch base with another human.

Thinking, praying, holding space for everyone affected by the fires in the Columbia Gorge, hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the earthquake in Mexico, genocide in Myanmar, white supremacist lawmakers in the US, inequality everywhere.
Daily Tarot: 4 of Cups
Heyy it's emotional processing time! As in, give yourself the time and get in there and process emotions. Cups is the suit of water, and is tied to emotions. Neither water nor emotions do well in stagnation. There has to be motion and flow to keep things healthy. If you're feeling some vague malaise, it might be due to some unexamined feelings that you're avoiding. Don't let them get stagnant and cause more pain later on. Today you're asked to push some feels through the emotional pipes. (I certainly need to!)
.
I haven't talked about this on here but my mom is sick; it's bringing up a lot of fear and stress for me, and I've been avoiding feeling my feelings. Today I got to stay home, put on sad music and cry. Like big messy crying that is making my dog sit next to me and look at me with concern, which makes me cry more because he's such a good dog. And I'm doing some house-cleaning and crazy dancing to get sweaty and then taking a bath to soak it all out. Because you know what, emotions are important and if I don't process mine, I can't help anyone else process theirs. (Fellow empaths and sensitive people, this is suuuper important for us. )
.
We keep things going so our emotional flow can be healthy. For ourselves, yes, but also so we can show up well in our relationships. I don't have to tell you that repressing feelings leads to all kinds of hurt, or how much harder it is to work through old trauma that you've bottled up for years. So if you're feeling some feels today, please give yourself the time and space to do whatever you need to process that emotion. Cry, run, sing, yell, dance, draw, journal, talk to a friend or counselor. I love you, let's keep our emotions healthy.
