From the Ferret Tarot, Temperance; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, "Sunflower:"

          After a week filled with cards like the Devil, Five of Pentacles, Nine of Swords and Three of Swords, I needed this version of Temperance. The ferrets howling with laughter at the moderation proclamation are exactly how I feel following a stressful week. I think I'm entitled to a lot of something that will make me feel better, not a little. Yet the "nourishment" keyword on Sunflower reminds me the idea is to improve how I feel, not make things worse. Did you know sunflowers can literally pull radiation fallout from the soil? Scientists discovered this at the Chernobyl accident and are currently using them in Japan to clean up the Fukushima site. A sunflower doesn’t really distinguish between those radioactive isotopes and some of the nutrients like potassium and calcium that it takes up normally. They flourish and the soil gets decontaminated (though they have to be harvested before going to seed). There are a lot of "feel better" choices that will ultimately make me feel worse, like drinking or overeating. But binge-watching a comedy series or binge-reading a light-hearted novel might work. And if I get tired of sitting, I can always put on some old music and show off my dance moves.

Loud and Proud

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Page of Wands:

Body language and attire tell me this kid has chutzpah - the ability to say or do things that might cause other folks to pause. I've known women who could wear the most outlandish outfits, yet they managed to carry them off because they oozed with confidence. But if practice makes progress, then perhaps taking small steps out of my comfort zone can help me develop a bit more boldness. But there's no way in hell you're going to get me in that outfit.

From the Flowers' Messages comes the "Sunflower:"

I can't think of another flower more noticeable than the large sunflower. It stands tall and proud, reaching for the sun. Though I love interacting with people (individuals or small groups), I'm more of an introvert than an extrovert. The creator of the deck gives it the keyword "manifestation." Between the Page above and this flower, I get the message that if I want to create in a concrete way (rather than just in my head), I'm going to have to be willing to put myself and my ideas out in the public eye.
