343. APRIL TAROT READINGS.
I'm officially on my four-day long weekend, so there was no better time to offer this than now! If you'd like a tarot reading for April, let me know!
If you're interested in asking a question, we can see how I go with doing a reading for one (but if I don't feel comfortable with it, I'll default to my "What does X need to know for the next month?" question instead). No questions about finances, please. Open-ended questions work best, but if you can only phrase your question as close-ended, I'll workshop it to suit something more open-ended.
What you'll most likely get in a reading: A tarot deck + Oracle card + Listen Bitch affirmation. (I can throw in a Shadow card, which I use to call out a specific trait I may be ignoring/suppressing to work on. It's part of my shadow work. If you want this, let me know; otherwise, I'll leave it out.)
Disclaimer: I'm still a newbie! You can drop in at any time during the month for a reading—just know I'll do it when I am free and have the energy.

I used the "Advice from the Universe" spread for the Buffy cards, "Self-Love" spread for the Dark Wood tarot (although this spread is actually four cards, I took two elements from it for this as I really enjoy this spread), a positive message to keep in mind with the Season of the Witch Imbolc Oracle, and a Listen Bitch affirmation.
(Sorry if you can see cat hair on my cloth. It's sentient at this point.)

ADVICE ACROSS THE UNIVERSE - BUFFY
AKA THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND FOR APRIL!
1. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW - THE HIGH PRIESTESS
It's time to test your intuition! The High Priestess is all about putting logic aside and following your gut. You know what you want to do and what's best for you; consider your options, but don't write off what your intuition is saying. You have the answers you need (as represented by Tara's book) and you're not alone (see the cat by Tara's right). If your gut is telling you one thing and your mind the opposite, consider exploring the message from your gut. This is your intuition (and perhaps spirit) trying to lead you.
2. A NEW PERSPECTIVE - EIGHT OF WANDS
Take action! Move! Don't sit and wait, don't sit and plan—now is a time for doing. Your potential has been unlocked like these Slayers; it's time for progress, not inaction. View your opportunities as yours to take, and know that you have the ability to handle anything that comes your way.
3. ACTION TO TAKE - SEVEN OF WANDS
Advocate for yourself! Be aware others may be jealous of your progress (as you can see in the background, there's a lot of noise with fighting happening behind Buffy—don't lose focus on yourself). Don't let other people be the reason you regress (you drew eight before seven, which shows that you have the potential to move backwards rather than forwards). Put you first.
SELF-LOVE - DARK WOOD
AKA SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT YOURSELF!
1. SOMETHING TO LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF THIS MONTH - KING OF WANDS
The King of Wands does what it takes to further his cause. He challenges himself and grows from those challenges. He's charismatic, and knows what he wants. Believe in yourself and you'll know yourself. The King doesn't doubt himself. (He's also a reminder to take a break and let emotions that don't serve you pass.) In a nutshell: Love the fact that you are someone who challenges yourself; you're always growing, always giving, and you are someone people are drawn to. You stand tall and proud, and you're someone who grows. I feel that's something to definitely love about yourself.)
2. HOW YOU CAN BE MORE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF THIS MONTH - NINE OF SWORDS
This card represents mental anguish/anxiety. Don't let other people get inside your head, and don't get caught overthinking what you want to do. Red is the colour of passion and life, and is a more vibrant colour than the King of Wands. Don't let anyone mute you. Don't let yourself be your worst enemy. (One of the King of Wands' challenges is anxiety, which ties these two cards perfectly together.) Things may not turn out the way you want them to immediately, but know that they will in due time.
A POSITIVE MESSAGE FOR YOU - ANGELICA
Keywords: Guardian angel, protection, help is on the way.
"Have faith and confidence in your ability to overcome any challenge that is put in your path."
This card is all about challenges coming to an end etc., but this line in the guidebook really stood out for me, and I feel it's in line with the messages from your reading. It talks about how spirit puts obstacles in your way that it knows you can overcome, and that unseen forces have your back. (I say trust your intuition. It's your gut and spirit talking to you.)
LISTEN BITCH! AFFIRMATION - YOUR WILDEST DREAMS DESERVE A CHANCE. (Because they fucking do, my dude!)
