Feel the fear & do it anyway

Tarot cards for this week: Ace of Pentacles, Eight of Swords, Rhino Spirit

The tarot cards today are indicating that there is an opportunity for some of you this week. But it will require you to step outside your comfort zone. Rhino spirit is your message that you are strong and capable. Show the Universe that you are serious about making a change in your circumstances, by taking the initiative to get the ball rolling. If an opportunity comes your way, especially in the area of work, career, money, business, etc. don’t let your self-imposed fears or perceived limitations stop you from acting on it.

Astrology wise, we have both the sun and mercury in optimistic Sagittarius. And even though the image we see in the eight of swords looks disheartening, the planetary energies of this card is Jupiter in  Gemini, which is the opposite zodiac sign of Sagittarius. So there is quite a bit of energetic support this week that is making it’s appearance in the cards! Take advantage of it!

When the eight of swords appears in a reading, it indicates that a change in perspective is needed to turn a situation around.  Our lady in bondage is required to save herself by calling up determination and courage from within, to take that first step out of her self-imposed prison. I see the Ace of Pentacles here as a metaphorical “carrot” dangling in front of her. To encourage her to remove the blindfold and proceed forward. She will then see there is a light at the end of the tunnel. But it will not come to her. She must go to it. Sagittarius is a sign of a positive mental outlook, as well as forward momentum.

The Rhino Spirit oracle card as the base energy of the reading, came out to encourage you. Rhino energy breaks through limitations and obstacles. However, all movement requires a catalyst. Take that first step. You will see it is not as difficult or as scary as you think it is.  

Sometimes the best thing that ever happened to us, lies just one step on the other side of our fears.

In other words, feel the fear and do it anyway.

Have a great week!

This week’s tarot message: Patience is a virtue!

The Hanged Man: Patience is a virtue!

You may be feeling a little “stuck” or frustrated this week. Expect delays regarding the home, finances, news on a job opportunity, inheritance or a court case. Tensions may be high amongst family members. Stay out of the fray as much as you can

Some of you may be frustrated at your current circumstances which stemmed from influences that were outside of your control. Most likely this has something to do with finances, as we have the ten of pentacles reversed in this reading. It is what it is. But you do have an opportunity here to gather your resources and to come up with a solid plan as to how you can successfully turn this situation around.

I feel that others of you may be on the verge of a breakthrough or you will receive some news soon. But as of this week, you need to be patient. You have sacrificed quite a bit and are ready to reap some rewards! You will, but only if you allow the process to mature. To act hastily, may jeopardize all the of hard work you have put in so far. Stick to your strategy. ❤

This week’s message: Protection in your circle

Video version of this week’s post
Queen of Swords reversed came up this week! Be aware…

This week’s message is to protect your energy in your “circle” i.e., the area of relationships. This does not necessarily only pertain to partners in love, this can apply to any area in one’s life wherein you are relating with others. Any group dynamic: Work, family, business partners, departments, group projects, etc.

The Queen of Swords reversed, can indicate someone who is overly critical, demanding and/or insecure. This person may treat others unkindly and then make excuses for their behavior. In a work, group or career situation, the Queen of Swords reversed is the person who stabs others in the back to get ahead. Or she may put others down for their ideas and then turn around and present them as her own to receive the credit for them. She may abuse her authority and/or position. This person feels threatened when others are in the limelight. The Queen of Swords reversed has a lot of insecurities underneath her persona. Make no mistake though, she got where she is by being smart and cunning. Do not underestimate this person. This is someone who needs to be handled very carefully. They can do a lot of damage with that sword.

As we move on, next we see the six of wands, in the center of the reading, riding towards the three of pentacles. Protect your precious ideas and plans. If you are currently on the receiving end of this Queen of Swords reversed energy, know there is a reason for it. You are confident and self-assured because your ideas are good! You may be receiving positive attention and respect from others for them. Perhaps you just got a promotion or are being considered for one. This can be enough to attract the “evil eye” from others that may be envious of your success and/or your current path.

In close, interpersonal relationships, you may have someone around you that tends to be critical of you and/or your ideas. You may want to keep your plans to yourself for now, at least until they are a little further along.

It’s better to share with others “what you have accomplished”, rather than “what you are planning to do”.

Hold your head high and keep moving forward. Above all, do not let negativity from the Queen of Swords reversed creep in, which may tempt you to stoop to their level. The two of swords underneath this reading indicates that one should pause and think before making decisions and/or taking action this week. With the Queen of Swords reversed in this reading, you may not have all the facts, or perhaps the information you have received is incorrect or misguided. On the other hand, it is advised that you keep your own words to a minimum.

So this week, it is advised for you to be aware of whom you share your creative ideas and future plans with. Somebody in your circle may not have your back right now. This is certainly not to make anyone paranoid, just aware. This is a general reading, so this message may or may not be applicable to you. Please use your discernment.

As a final note, today, Mars is in the 4th deacon of Libra. This corresponds to the four of swords. Fiery Mars is being asked to lay low this week. The four of swords is a card of self-care, renewal and also one of tapping into one’s higher self, divine spirit, angels and guides. It is an energy of quiet contemplation. You will be glad that you kept things “cool” this week! We’ve have some interesting astrological transits coming up in November. These energies will very likely disclose some information that will prove revealing to say the least.

I hope this reading was helpful! Have a great week!

Tarot message for this week: Let it go and begin your hero’s journey

Tarot message for the week of 10/18/21

This week the theme is forgiveness. I do not mean forget by any means, but The Hierophant is asking you to come to a deeper understanding of what you have learned and to grow from it.

The Queen of Swords reversed can be an angry, internalized energy. Her bitterness over what happened in the past clouds her judgement. Instead of acknowledging the wisdom of the experience and using it to elevate herself, she keeps her minds eye in the past, wherein her perception of how powerful she truly is becomes distorted.

We see the Knight of Cups riding forward indicating movement. The truth is, no matter how much we long to, we cannot change the past. The full moon in Aries this week on October 20th, which is occurring just a few days before Scorpio season, is encouraging you to initiate a new cycle. If you are resonating with this reading, spirit has been showing you this entire time, that you have what it takes to be your own hero. And the full moon in Aries is giving you the courage to have faith in yourself and to begin the hero’s journey. 

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Tarot & Oracle Message of the Week: Personal Sovereignty & Balance

Weekly message for 10/04/21: Death & The Hierophant. Two powerful energies!

This week, reassess who you are NOW. Death is a reminder, that the cycles of change are always in motion. Is it time to establish a new paradigm? The Hierophant has showed up in the center of this reading to give you the discipline and focus as well as the acknowledgement of your spiritual sovereignty to do just that. It appears, that the time has come for some of you to clear out the cobwebs of how it’s always been and establish some new ground rules in your life!

The first step is to clean up your space. Do you have things around you that reflect who you USED to be? Clothes, shoes, home décor, books you no longer read, etc. Things you have outgrown. Psychologically, allowing these items to remain in our space, can effect us on a subconscious level. Causing us to procrastinate, when it comes to taking the actions necessary to implement the changes that our soul is calling us to do. Ya’ll know what I am talking about. If you are resonating with this reading, The Hierophant and The Witch’s Hat cards indicate that you have already been receiving the intuitive downloads!

For some of you, these promptings from spirit have given you an amazing amount of vitality. Inspired and energized, you have been ready for this for a while! For others of you, the messages you are receiving may be more difficult to accept. But deep down, you know they are right. Trust it. That there are some areas in your life that need an upgrade to bring it back into balance. Particularly in those areas wherein you may have knowingly or unknowingly given your power away and/or even dimmed your beautiful light so that you would be safe.

But as old clothes eventually go out of style or just no longer fit anymore, neither do some of the agreements, behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, etc. from the past, fit the person that you are NOW. And more importantly, these certainly do not fit the person that you are going to be in the future!

This is an intense week to allow Death to do what it does. Clear out the old, musty debris so new growth can begin. Death and The Hierophant are asking you to have faith in yourself and in the universal transformative cycle of life and death. If you need to talk to someone, The Hierophant can indicate meeting with a member of the clergy, a counselor, a trusted spiritual advisor, or a wise older relative. Speaking to someone and obtaining an outside perspective can prove to be very helpful!

This week, and for some of you, the entire month of October, may be the time to let some things metaphorically die. Especially if they are in conflict with your new, future goals. This is the time to set some healthy boundaries and say no! Call back your power and bring your emotional, spiritual, mental and physical scales back into balance.

What a powerful message this week!

Five of cups & Fox Spirit: A matter of perspective. Think on your feet!

The clever fox & five of cups.

Your emotions may be getting in the way of facing a difficult truth or decision. Is it time to move on? You may also be looking at something through the lens of a limited perspective. Lamenting a loss, rather than what you stand to gain. Look around you. It appears there is an opportunity that is waiting for you to notice it. It may require your taking some sort of action and/or think outside the box.

When you see an opportunity take advantage of it. Do not make excuses. For we can always come up with reasons not to do something. If you listen to that inner critic, you may be talking yourself out of just the thing that has the potential of creating better circumstances for you!

Just as the fox uses quick action and its wits to obtain what it needs, now is your time to do the same. Pick up those two cups behind you and find out what treasures are waiting for you inside that castle that is just beyond the bridge over troubled waters. ❤🦊🗝🥂

“If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade” Tom Peters

Tarot message this week: Tenacity & growth

Skunk & Badger are two very tenacious energies!

Tenacious animal spirits Skunk & Badger along with the Knight of Swords and The World indicate you are ready for a new cycle in your life. Leave behind any thoughts of self-limitation or patterns from the past that may have held you back. You have learned those lessons and have graduated from them. Are you ready to step into your new timeline and take the action required to accomplish what it is that you want to do? You have what it takes as far as your skills and talents go. It’s just a matter of having the confidence and drive to turn those dreams into a reality.

Don’t let anyone or anything get in your way! Adopt the attitude of the Badger and Skunk. These animals are very unassuming and tend to mind their own business, unless provoked. But whomever is foolish enough to bother them, soon regrets it! LOL!  Seriously though, you’ve got this. The Knight of Swords has your back. He is riding through the past like a warm knife through butter. Cutting away those things that are no longer a part of who you are now.

The Page of Pentacles realizes that what is he holding is valuable. Look at the way he looks at that pentacle. He knows that the foundation of a new and better future is in his (your) hands.

Welcome to Virgo season!

Virgo season! Party’s over time to get real.

Welcome to Virgo season! Virgo comes in after we have had our fun in the sun during Leo season. She comes in after the party so to speak, to put things back in order. It’s time to stop playing and get back to work. She reminds us to be realistic about our future and to make plans accordingly so that we are prepared for it when it arrives.

In the past, this was a busy time. The fall season is when the ancient ones would come together as a community to help one another can fruits and vegetables, cure meats, and dry grains to prepare them for storage to ensure they had enough to eat during the barren winter months.

The fable of the ant and the grasshopper is a good example of the zodiac transition from Leo to Virgo.

Virgo is a mutable sign that denotes transition, so you may feel the urge to “tweak” any plans or projects currently in progress during this time. Or perhaps you get inspired to clean out that closet or spare bedroom. To make things easier, more efficient, more organized. Clear the clutter by selling or donating items that you no longer use or need. And/or get moving on taking care of those repairs around the house that you may have been putting off.

Be aware of excess spending at this time. It’s interesting that August/September coincides with “back to school” season for many families. When the responsibility of ensuring the children have what they need for the school year is the primary focus for the family funds. This is another example of how Virgo reminds us of discipline and preparedness.

Virgo is also the sign of health, holistic medicine, the physical body and healing. Once the work has been completed, give yourself some down time if you are feeling drained. This may require you to put your needs first for a little while (Virgos sometimes need to be reminded of this). Go ahead, take that time out. You may need to limit interactions with other people and/or social media to allow your mind, body and spirit to recharge. On the flip side, you may need to limit distractions so that you can get some things done!

Virgo is the parent that tells everyone its time for bed at the slumber party. We all moan and complain and beg to stay up for just a little while longer. But they know that if we do not get our rest tonight, that we will be exhausted and cranky the next morning! And we need our rest because we have things to do tomorrow!

Virgo prepares us for the next sign, Libra. Which is the sign of balance. Life is meant to be enjoyed, but we must also be realistic about it too. To enjoy the fruits of our labor, we must first put in the labor! We are then open to receive the harvest of all the good things that life has to offer.

“Luck and success is when preparation meets opportunity”

Tarot message this week: Five of Wands & Violet (Attract)

Five of Wands & Violet (Attract). Message for this week 8/16/21.

Cards for this week: Five of Wands & Violet (Attraction)

The old adage, one catches more flies with honey than vinegar holds true this week. While I am certainly an advocate of standing one’s ground in the face of aggressive or bullying behavior, this week the advice is to be aware of your own energy.

If you respond to someone’s antagonistic behavior with aggression, the situation will escalate as such. The consequences may be more than you want to deal with. Understand an aggressive façade can be the default pattern that some people fall back on as their way to cover up their own vulnerabilities. Especially if they feel insecure in the presence of someone else’s talents and/or success.

Tread carefully. Respond to this energy with calm, good humor. If you cannot do this, find a way to detach your emotions from it. Give them the space they need to work through this themselves. Do not make assumptions. Avoid confrontation and try to find a way to create harmony. Maintain your civility and go about your business. You do not need to prove yourself to anyone. ❤🔥🙏🗝⚖

New Moon in Leo (Lions Gate portal 8/8/21)

Six of Wands / New Moon in Leo

New Moon in Leo (Lions Gate portal 8/8/21)

Tarot card: Six of Wands / Victory

Planetary Association: Jupiter

Element: Fixed Fire

Chakra: Solar Plexus

Crystal suggestions: Citrine, carnelian, tigers eye, sunstone, amber, pyrite, labradorite, garnet, yellow agate, rutilated quartz

The tarot card associated with this new moon is the six of wands. This card in the upright position is a positive sign in a reading. It indicates accomplishment, overcoming obstacles, forward momentum, higher awareness, good news heading your way, building a positive future from the victory of the present, being seen in a positive light, confidence, a possible promotion at work, and celebration of one’s success. This can literally manifest as a party being thrown in one’s honor, or this can also be an internal victory.

The message that came through for me today for these energies is one of self-confidence, and embracing who you are. Knowing that it is your unique gifts and talents that got you here. There is also a reminder as well, to be sure to continue to act with integrity and honor. People are watching you.

Leo is the fifth house in the zodiac which is the vibration of the individuality of the self. It relates to the solar plexus chakra. When this energy is balanced and strong, we speak our truth, stand up straight, accept accolades and praise from others with grace. We are fair and kind to others. Especially those that look up to us. A byproduct of this energy can produce a covetous and/or jealous energy from others. So, it is important to remain centered within one’s power. In other words, be a gracious winner!

This New Moon asks you to reflect on just how far you have come. Whether you see it or not, you are indeed, moving ahead with victory. Now is the time to appreciate your success. Go ahead bask in the sun of your glory for a little while. Just as the mighty lion, enjoys a long rest after a successful hunt. Do understand that this is but one victory that is within a succession of many more. Resting on your laurels for the long term is not an option. Eventually, the mighty lion must rise again to hunt once more. But having had one successful victory, the lion has the confidence in knowing that if it can accomplish it once, it can do it again!

Do not “sweat the small stuff”. Again, we are talking about the life force of a lion here. These large animals do not waste their precious energy dealing with minor annoyances. During this moon cycle, embody this powerful energy. Get in the habit of asking yourself. Is this truly worth my time and energy? See these situations as a test of your higher awareness. This is a time of strong personal boundaries. But establish them with the quiet strength of a lion. There is no need to get up and roar for every little thing.

What’s next on the horizon? Where do you want to go from here? Channel this powerful solar plexus activation to align your will with your vision of success. Whatever this is for you. The New Moon in Leo is giving you the confidence to pursue your future endeavors with passion, strength and dignity. ❤🦁🌞🔥♌️🏆🌼
