Pick a crystal: Messages from your inner child

I've been doing a lot of my own inner child work lately and really felt called to channel all of (well, as many of) yours as I could. This reading is looking at:

What did you need as a child?

How is your inner child now?

What do they want you to work on next?

I also gauged the time of your childhood that I think these feels really became a part of you - but the ranges are large and don't necessarily mean it's not for you!

Choose a crystal and see below the cut for your reading

Pile one, stability is the world I would use to describe what you needed as a kid. It feels like every time you ALMOST felt settled, your caretaker would get too scared to commit and you were off to the next place. You never got the chance to really make connection. Yeah, you've always had friends but you never had that connection that really showed you what friendship was. I'm here to tell you that all of the people you were worried about liking you are thankful you were a part of their lives, no matter the length of time.

I REALLY hope my intuition is correct about how your inner child is feeling right now. It is beautiful energy. It's either a relatively recent happening or it's happening very soon, but your sense of emotional fulfillment is so strong. Since this time in your childhood, you have finally started to understand what unconditional love feels like. I want to cry, pile 1! There is a huge sense of relief coming over me. You're realizing that it doesn't matter how long you've been somewhere, as long as you are your authentic self and you allow others to be their authentic selves, that is all you need space for.

What your inner child wants you to work on next is believing that others know this too! In your heart of heart, you know it's true. But you wonder if you're being an imposter of your own self. Are you making up that this is the truth?! Nope. This is only your ego talking. It's trying to protect you, but you don't need it this time around. Take your time learning this, remembering this, and giving yourself grace when you forget it. It will come back easier each and every time.

Pile two, I don't think you were allowed to actually be a child when you were a kid. It's not that you weren't able to have fun, but I think your parental unit guilt tripped you a lot and sometimes made you the parent. You may have heard phrases like "You don't appreciate what I do for you", "I'm a terrible mother/father/etc", "You'll never be able to make it on your own." It can be any parental figure, but I am feeling strong feminine energy. This person wasn't like this ALL the time,. In fact, you have a lot of fun memories from your childhood. You don't think your childhood was bad by any means, but you wish it didn't still affect you like it does.

I absolutely believe that you've grown a lot. I think this person still does this and, while it doesn't always get to you, every once and awhile you feel really let down. You may be having some trouble trusting your instincts, lately. You're wondering if you're saying "yes" to the people you love because you WANT to or if it's because you're going back to your old ways? Your inner child wants you to know that you're allowed to trust your gut. You will know when you're doing something for yourself versus for other people.

What your inner child may need now is the chance to grow on their own, without the influence of this person. It might be time to take a brief separation from this person if possible. It will be difficult, and you may need to grieve, but I think the grief is really toward letting your childhood hopes go versus feeling badly about hurting this person. I'm sorry you have to worry about this step, but it's so going to be worth it.

As a child, pile three, I think you have to leave someone you love and, even if you didn't have control over the situation, ou still feel guilty. For some of you, you feel like an outcome would be different if you never left. For others, you haven't had much contact with this person since leaving and you feel like it's something you did that didn't make you "worthy" of being reached out to.

Right now, your inner child knows you're putting in the work to heal this wound. I'm proud of you! Sometimes, though, when you feel yourself feeling unworthy, you can tend to be hard on yourself. "I know the cause of this feeling, so why can't I just get rid of it??" But you are doing a GREAT job of being patient with yourself. You're taking initiative in your own healing. You are continually finding new ways to take care of yourself. You are confident that there is always a way to make it through.

Next up on your healing journey is letting others help you, too. I think you are afraid that if you let someone get close that you'll just end up leaving them again OR that if you get to vulnerable you'll see why the person above never reached out to you, and anyone you let in is bound to leave you instead. Your inner child knows exactly what you've been working on and wants you to know that this work has made you strong enough to let someone else in.

Hey pile four. First, I wanted to make note that this is the only pile I felt like I was really talking TO your inner child versus asking the universe for information. While shuffling for the first question, I said "you're can tell me" ; while shuffling for the last question, I said "you're allowed to work on yourself, babe." I think things are feeling tough right now for you and your inner child and I hope this reading helps brings some insights.

First, something you needed as a child was someone to commit to you. You may be a child of divorce who split time between your parents' houses and there were multiple times where one of the parents didn't take you for their assigned times. If your parents/parental figures were together, it seemed like they could commit to everything else, but not you. They could commit to work and they could commit to other relationships, but never showed up for you. All you wanted was the adults in your life to just BE there.

At this point in time, you seem to be indulging in the needs of your ego. In an effort (conscious or not) to not worry about your traumas, you push your sad/angry/disappointed feelings into the shadows. What your doing seems like it should be fun, but are you actually enjoying yourself? Your inner child is telling you that you're holding back in an effort to protect yourself and it's time to think about what you REALLY need to help you feel better.

Pile four, you deserved to be loved the way you needed and I'm sorry that you didn't get that. But, it's not too late to love yourself this way. Be gentle with yourself when you start your new phase of healing. You have the capabilities to see beauty in the drabbest of places and you'll find the beauty in this, too. It isn't going to be easy, but damnit, if little you doesn't deserve this healing <3

Pick a tarot card for the weekend of 4/5/24–4/7/24

Card reveals and discussion below the read more!

The Four of Pentacles speaks of stability, but also a scarcity mindset. It represents finally having enough material success to feel secure and steady—but also hoarding what you have, and being too scared to help other people. Sometimes this card is a reminder that we have more than we think, and to give of what we have. Sometimes this card underscores just how little we have, and how much we would benefit from somebody else's generosity. In either case, we need to connect with our community and be honest about our needs and fears.

The Ten of Cups is a heartwarming card. It represents fulfillment, connection, and joy in relationships of the familial, platonic, romantic, and every other variety. It's a reminder to appreciate the simple pleasures in our lives. It tells us that happiness can be found wherever we look for it, and that finding joy in the everyday is the true path to contentment and peace. We are blessed with more abundance than we realize, and when we take the time to notice it, we can share some of that light and gratitude with those we love. What could be better?

The Eight of Cups speaks of loss, stagnation, and the need to move on. Something we love is broken or gone, and we've been left exhausted and heartbroken. There is hope in the future, but we have to bring ourselves to turn forward and look for it. This can be especially hard when we've lost something or someone we truly cared about. But this is a situation that can't be fixed. The best hope is found in acknowledging the loss, then picking ourselves up and taking the first steps in a new direction. It will get better, but we have to be willing to work for it.

3 and 4. These are both only helluva boss but they were very fun.

[popculturetarot]

‪The Four of Pentacles is about concern for the physical world—it is avarice and looking for only the material in life to the exclusion of all else, and seeing that material wealth as excellent. ‬

pull this card

info on the suit of pentacles in general

as with most tarot cards, the four of pentacles has the possibility of both a more positive and a more negative reading. on the not-quite-as-good side, this card can be indicative of materialism, hoarding resources, and rigidity/reluctance when it comes to sharing with others. however, in a more positive light, the four of pentacles can be seen as indicating boundaries in regard to material things, financial security, holding on to things that you need, and the desire to control your own resources. either way, this card is about keeping things to yourself and turning inwards, regardless of what your motivations might be for doing so

okay also this is super random but since the art for this card features st denis carrying his own severed head, did you know that there's an actual like group name for beheaded saints??? they're called cephalophores and are typically depicted holding their decapitated heads. my favorite ones are when they are both holding their head and then also still have a non-decapitated head on their shoulders as well, which happens sometimes

Helloooo

I would like to know about my main personality traits and how im seen ! Thank you !

🐢

Hi! ♥️ There are a few questions I answer regarding personality readings. How others see you, how you see yourself, and what your true essence is:

How Others See You: Others see you as orderly and firm, and some sort of a commanding presence. Others feel safe around you & know you’re reliable, however, they also think that sometimes you’re a bit too honest for your own good.

How You See Yourself: At this point in your life, you do not think too highly of yourself. Perhaps something has happened that made you question who you truly are. However, deep down, you know you are a positive person with good values, that deserves the unwavering feeling of self-worth.

Your True Essence: You are a hard-working person with values that tend to align with their actions almost all of the time. You are strong, resilient, supportive and authentic.

Good luck! 💪♥️😇

-Kim

🪙 Four of Pentacles🪙

*Pentacles are often also referred to as coins.

4 of Coins Couture Tarot Deck tarotismyreligion.tumblr.com

Upright

Possessiveness, Security, Stability, Control

Possibly a dragon’s favorite card, the four of pentacles upright can mean hoarding wealth. While saving money is always encouraged for the sake of stability and comfort, make sure you’re not being greedy.

Alternatively, this card can represent control. This can mean that you’re controlling. You don’t need to be in charge of every little thing. In the extreme, this can mean you’re literally controlling others, though it often means that you’re someone who enjoys things a specific way and that you can get irritable if things don’t go as planned. If this is the case, allow yourself to relinquish some of that control, preferably to those around you who you trust.

Reversed

Recklessness, Loss, Lack of control, Unpaid debts

The Four of pentacles reversed can indicate recklessness, specifically in the financial department. Though this could also mean that you’re spending your time recklessly. Take a second to look at where you’re putting your energy, is it getting you where you want? Could you spend elsewhere and receive more? Sometimes the best “bargain” is not saving your money, energy, and time for something better.

This card reversed could also be telling you that it’s time for a debt to be paid, either with actual money or with something else. Have you kept your end of the deal or promise?

On the other hand, this card can signify the feeling of losing control or the fear of it. Come to terms with the fact that we can’t be in control of everything all of the time, and release the things that you cannot control so that you can focus on what you can control.

Notes

Stability, work, perspective

Four indicates stability, this could mean a stable job, or self-discipline. This could also suggest putting down roots and establishing yourself, perhaps making a family.

Often four may indicate the need to ground yourself and organize.

The message this card sends is “slow and steady wins the race”.

(From my Numbers post)

Element: Earth

Feminine or passive energy

Meanings: Wealth, fertility, finances, work/work-life, external consciousness, creativity, health.

Associated Signs: Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus.

Pentacles are often best associated with money and finances. They could indicate financial gain or struggles. This could also indicate greediness and materialistic, possessive attitudes.

Since they are related to external consciousness or our physical level of consciousness, they could represent self-image; this could also represent self-esteem, self-acceptance, or ego.

Earth is literally a grounded sign, this suit could represent being (or needing to be) grounded or humble. Pentacles could represent support; supporting others or needing support.

The negatives of this suit could be stubbornness, bullheadedness, or possessiveness.
