Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our first card pull for the month of March! Today is one of those rare occasions where we get to do our first reading on the first day of the month, so it feels like an exciting time, all things considered.

As it's a new month, it's time to switch up decks, and we're bringing my beloved Believe in Your Own Magic oracle deck back out for this month. We're moving on into spring, and a new season feels like the perfect time for some general vibe checks, don't you think?

As always, before we get to this week's reading, please make sure you are all nice and cozy before you continue reading this post. This is not necessarily a reflection of what card will be drawn. In fact, I'm typing this bit before I've even drawn a card. However, I find that coziness helps put me in a better space to receive whatever message the cards may have for me.

Also, please remember that this is a general reading for the collective. It might resonate with you or it might not, and that's fine. Take what you need from this or don't. It's entirely your choice.

Now that we've gone through our reading preamble, let's get into our card for the week and answer our usual question: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week?"

Our answer this month comes in the form of Feast, reminding us to slow down and take time for ourselves.

Unfortunately for us, life has a tendency to come at us fast, with an assortment of things we absolutely need to get done at any given time. Being an adult can be incredibly overwhelming, and sometimes we can get so wrapped up in our projects and needing to pay our bills that we often forget that breaks exist. Or, if we remember them, we might put them off for some nebulous "later" or for the "perfect time" that never seems to come.

Here's the thing, though. There is no perfect time for anything, and if we don't take the time to slow down and celebrate what we've achieved, we're never going to. Worse, though, is that if we don't recognize and honor all the good things we have in our lives, it's easier for all the bad things to overwhelm us and knock us down. No one wants that.

So this week, consider taking some time for yourself to celebrate. Get yourself a sweet treat of your choice and take the time to recognize all the good things you have going. Not only will it boost your mood, but you'll be taking some time for you, and that's never a bad thing.
