Cards "Learn" and "Evolve" from the Self-Love Orac

Cards "Learn" and "Evolve" from the Self-Love Oracle were drawn for October 2021. The two go hand in hand.I read a lot as a kid and teen, disappearing into books constantly, sometimes finishing more than a book a day, raiding different libraries, exploring genres at a time. Yet it took me a long time to realise not everyone was like me, aware of places, people, and philosophies beyond the school curriculum and my social circles. In retrospect, this was probably the reason I came cross as unusual. I didn't always find it uncomfortable TBH, aside from "normal" being boring.No, what was painful was my knowledge and supposed lack of worldy experience being mocked and minimised by both adults and peers. I encountered people who thought I was making stuff up or imagining things whenever I knew anything they didn't. Sometimes citing my sources didn't make a difference. I was conditioned in a way to be very good in writing academic essays, as anything I wanted to do, I prepared a truckload of rationalisation--expecting resistance, shame and disagreement even so. The information I armed myself with didn't guarantee anything in my favor.
Learned helplessness and defensiveness was installed early in this manner.Today I put it together with this experience: that whenever I felt sick, weak or pained in my teens and 20s (endometriosis, suspected PCOS, constant allergies), I also had to prepare lengthy pleas or begging to be worthy of medical intervention and help, and even so I expected to hear that the illness was my fault, a blind spot in my self care. Self-love is hard to nurture, in the face of constant blame, judgment and deprivation.We need to recognise when the paths towards our healing and actualisation will take us AWAY from those who hurt or limited us, intentionally or not. Away from those who remain stuck and want others stuck too. Away from those who prioritise their being right over our being happy. "Evolve" remains one of my favorite cards because this lesson has been a long and personal one.Thanks for reading this.#selfloveoracle #selflove #selfcare #musing #healing #storytime #spirituality #oraclecards #cardofthemonth #oracledeck #newage

Swipe 👉 to read. *Profound incorrectly spelled in one of the slides and I'm annoyed.Mommy duties and other changes in the daily routine have delayed this month's card-reading and astrology video. Pluto transits are a trip, man. Your author, but then again all of us, are definitely living in interesting times.(Half a thought to fit more Terry Pratchett references in here but I have other work. A future update, perhaps.)Oh maybe just a last one: “The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.”Artwork: Unused pencil sketch for cover of Alexa Chipman's Erfyl (2011) by myself#astrology #astrolgersofinstagram

Your friendly smart-mouth doomsayer has made a Mercury retrograde update! 👉 Swipe to read.Mercury retrogrades won't hit all of us the same way, but, this is a general reading.☀ If you were born during a Mercury retrograde (they happen 7 times every 2 years for weeks at a time), you might find yourself extra lit.☀ If you weren't, you're out of luck☀ Joking aside, give yourself buffers in your schedule for hiccups and self-care. All the time, but also for Covipocalypse and all the outer planets still being retrograde.Artwork: Mercury Appearing to Aeneas by Giovanni Battista TIEPOLO (1757)#astrology #astrologersofinstagram #astrologymemes #mercuryretrograde #libraseason #healing #newage #chiron #woundedhealer #pluto #spirituality #september2021 #october2021 #mercury
