#42 Angel of Truth from the Love your Inner Goddess Oracle for 1/11/21

It’s amazing to me that this card came out today as #42 breaks down to the number 6 in numerology which is ruled by the planet Venus. And more amazing is the message that this Goddess Oracle card conveys:

“The truth wants to be to be told, needs to be heard. It may seem like the whole world wants to believe in a lie, and so you wonder if you are crazy, if you are the only one who is thinking differently and desiring the real story to emerge. Yet those that fight against the truth are even more in need of it! There can be no healing, no freedom, no moving on without it. You are going to be blessed with a truth revealed, a realization about yourself, the world, or others that will bring you relief. It will happen at the right time. It will set your soul free.

Sometimes the lies we are repeatedly told become so familiar that we forget that they are lies and begin to believe they are real. Maybe it’s someone judging us that is the lie. Maybe it’s advertising and the media, which are often more about deceptive manipulation than a source of correct information. Whatever the source, all untruth teaches us the same thing. That we must be afraid. This is like poison for the soul. The soul needs truth like your body needs air. It keeps it alive. Deep in your soul, you know what is true, and you know when you, or anyone else, is not being truthful. You are sensitive enough to know that only the truth feels good for you. You must give yourself permission to be truthful with your own soul and live honestly, authentically and bravely in this world. It is the only way for you to really be you. Put your faith in TRUTH, because it will always shine stronger than any lie.”

Today’s divination reading is “Lesser Air over Water – The Tranquil Lake”. The cards that came out are The Emperor and The Three of Cups. The stronger influence in this reading, is the Three of Cups.

Below are the messages for this reading:

Ease up! Go with the flow. Instead of trying to impart your will upon something by force, it is best to ride with the gentle current at this time. For example, when we want something so badly or when we think our way is the only way without compromise, we have a tendency to hold on too tightly, to be too rigid, which does not allow other beneficial possibilities to flow in. We can in essence, get in our own way. Instead of working WITH the current, we work against it. This can prolong an outcome, or make a situation much more difficult than it needs to be.

For some of you, this is an indication that a situation that you are dealing with, was not changed by intellectual thinking. And that the emotions of it were too strong for pure intellect to overcome. In short, the heart overrode the mind here. A less forceful approach would definitely better serve you in this particular instance. Ease up and take into account, others viewpoints, perceptions and feelings. This will result in a much more harmonious outcome, and who knows you may even learn something that you were not aware of before.

For others of you, this reading is a message of a need for more enjoyment in your life at this time. You have been working hard, and you may very well be the one who keeps it all together. The one whom everyone depends upon. But hard work needs to be balanced with enjoying the fruits of our labor. Have some fun! Whatever this is for you. Since we have the three of cups in this reading, it can indicate socialization with other people may be of benefit to you. Of course, right now, there are some restrictions depending on where you live. But that doesn’t mean one needs to be a hermit! Positive social connection is nourishing for our soul. Connect with others and have some lighthearted fun and conversation. When was the last time you laughed with a friend? Well that’s too long!

Here we see the Nine of Pentacles and the Queen of Cups on either side of The Magician. Three powerful energies! Are you thinking about pursuing something that is both financially and emotionally rewarding? These cards indicate something that has the potential for both. It will take time though. True success does not happen overnight. Be realistic about your expectations. The Seven of Cups as the underlying energy of the reading, is an indication that you certainly have a lot of options here, or perhaps there is some confusion about where to begin. The Magician says you have what it takes to achieve your goals. But you must take the first step, and choose a cup! He reminds us that dreams will remain dreams, unless we take the physical action to bring them into reality. We are near the end of 2020. Laying the groundwork now, will put you in a favorable position of being ready to move forward at the beginning of 2021.

A new beginning is at hand. What you have been working towards is on it’s way to you. A karmic cycle has been completed as you have learned the lessons from the past and therefore there is no need to repeat them.

Pay attention to your dreams for much of the transformation of your soul happens while you sleep. You may experience a few nightmares. This is okay. It’s your subconscious purging the final remnants of what needs to be cleared and released through the conscious mind. We must acknowledge our fears in order to move past them.

You have always known, deep inside that you are different. In your early years, you may have even had to hide your light in order to remain safe. The image on the happiness card, reminds me of The Hanged Man in the tarot (reversed). No longer the caterpillar, which was hanging upside down safely and quietly within it’s cocoon on the branch. Here, you can see she has grown her wings.

The transformation process is in it’s final stages. The caterpillar is now the butterfly. I get the impression that the wings need a little more time. Just as the wings of the butterfly must dry and strengthen before they are ready for lift off. You are almost there! Be patient. The Wheel of Fortune tells us that Divine Timing is at work here. Stay positive, this is very important at this time as energies are in flux, and you are manifesting your future, now. Be mindful of what you take into your consciousness. Remember, we can either use our precious life force to create our own reality, or use it to create someone else’s reality. We all have free will. It is our choice.

When we look at the butterfly, we see it’s beauty. But we don’t always think about the trials that the caterpillar had to go through to make the transformation to become what we see today. But the butterfly, remembers.

For that is exactly what gave it the strength to struggle to free itself from it’s cocoon. Because in the soul of every caterpillar is the knowledge that it is the butterfly. ❤️🦋

When you use your light to send love into the world, it will continue to increase. Honor the freedom of choice for yourself and others (we all have free will). Remember the goodness in you is more powerful than the negativity in anyone or anything. Create beautiful magic which others can benefit from if they so choose. Listen to your intuition and always be true to yourself no matter what. When our intentions are aligned with truth and integrity, the universe has our back. Weave your loving magic into the world

Today’s message from Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle

There are three cards to choose from. The overall themes are: Cards on the left (home), cards in the middle (income potential), cards on the right (promotions/career).

Have you chosen a theme? Scroll down for the messages!

Ready? Let’s do this:

First Set of Cards (Left – Home) Earth Mother / Protection Message:

Are you feeling blocked or stuck? Perhaps a closer look at your immediate environment is required. As the saying goes “home is where the heart is”. When we feel loved, secure and protected in our home, which is our sacred space, we carry this vibration with us wherever we go. This provides a source of energetic protection for us that keeps us grounded and centered no matter where we are, and what is going on around us.

Self-Reflection: Where in my life am I feeling disconnected? Is there someone or something in my environment that could use some nurturing and attention from me? Am I nurturing myself? Where in my life do I need to feel more supported to allow love to channel through me so that I may serve myself and those that I care about at the same time?

Parting thought: Love is the highest vibration energy in the universe. Love in the home is the ultimate form of protection for myself and my family.

Second Set of Cards (Middle – Income Potential) The Magician / Trinka Five message:

The Magician is a reminder that you have the tools you need to co-create with the divine to manifest the prosperity you seek. This may be in the form of an idea, skill or trade, invention, business concept, etc. Whatever this is for you, it is something that you possess, that has the potential to create an income stream. Whether a full time career, or as an avenue to generate additional part time income, this is for you to decide. This card in a reading is a good sign that this is something positive. The Magician is a conscious creator. It is a reminder that magick happens when we align our actions with our intentions.

Self-reflection: Am I feeling unclear as to where to begin? Am I looking at this situation too broadly? Perhaps breaking down what it is that I want to create in smaller steps will make it easier to achieve the end result I desire.

Parting thought: I have all the tools I need to manifest that which I wish to create. When I combine my focused intentions with action, the universe aligns accordingly to present opportunities for me to succeed.

Third Set of Cards (Right – Career) Spirit of Swords (King of Swords) / Successful Career message:

In this reading, the Spirit of Swords has the energy of determination, focus and communication. It is a reminder to set clear boundaries with others through your words and actions. This card also is one of knowing your worth! This may be your time to shine! Is there a promotion or management opportunity that you have your eye on? Show others through your actions that you are a leader. Someone who is capable of making clear cut decisions in the spirit of truth and fairness. A leader knows their truth and stands by it. They do what they say. Which is rare these days. This is what makes you stand out from the others.

The caveat to a successful career, is it may require you to cut out and/or limit your exposure to situations or people that do not serve your highest potential. Unfortunately, not everyone has your best interest in mind. Sometimes, whether this is due to envy or their own insecurities (such as fear of failure), others may try to sabotage your success. Usually this is done subconsciously, (sometimes not, but it usually is). But the result is the same. It is an attempt to keep you down on “their level”. If they can’t be successful, then they do not want you to be either.

This may seem a bit negative, but we are talking about the swords suit here. Swords cut right to the truth. The Spirit of Swords is a King. And a great leader always looks at all sides of a situation. Sometimes the truth is not so pleasant. If you notice this occurring, you must, as a leader, take definitive action. But do it with integrity by controlling your own actions. Do not stoop down to their level.

This new position will most likely require you to place some distance between yourself and your co-workers. Keep in mind the saying “familiarity breeds contempt”. But no matter what, always treat others fairly and honestly. This is of utmost importance! Integrity is the mark of a great leader. And above all, remember your personal truth, why you wanted this position/promotion in the first place.

Self-Reflection: What qualities do I possess that make me an effective leader? What are some things about myself that I need to improve upon? What is my motivation for success? Who are some great leaders (present or past) that I admire and why?

Parting Thought: I have what it it takes to be a leader. I respect others and my objective is to create a positive environment where everyone contributes their unique talents for the success of a common goal. As a leader, I understand that maintaining my personal integrity and healthy boundaries with others is a requirement. No one is an island however. My success is dependent upon those around me being successful as well.

When three major arcana cards show up in a four card reading, this is a big deal! Include the King of Wands in the mix with his fiery leadership energy, and one can see quite a powerful message is packed within this card spread today! I received the message of an overall theme of spiritual alchemy. The process of transformation of the soul.

Message:

What’s in the past is in the past. It’s important to acknowledge and reflect on what was, but be careful not to judge yourself too harshly. Especially from a viewpoint of where you are now. You did your best with who you were at that time and with what resources were available to you. The King of Wands with his fiery wisdom, is reminding us that we cannot change what has already come to pass. We must move forward.

Use the important lessons that you learned, or are learning, to forge a new future. Things happen in our life for a reason. While they are occurring, we are too close to the situation emotionally to see the truth of it. Allow your emotions to flow, for this is part of the process. Change is never easy. But know you are being supported at this time. The Universe has your back.

Your spirit is going through the process of change, also known as spiritual alchemy. Your soul is being aligned to live your true calling in the material plane. For we are all spirit within the matter. What you have hoped and prayed for is in the process of manifestation. There are some aspects in your life, however, that are no longer in alignment with the new self you have become or are becoming. Some things must be burned away in the purification process or removed from your path whether permanently or temporarily, to allow you to step into your new role. Trust that it is all a process of purification orchestrated with love, for your highest good. For the ascension of your soul.

Take a moment, relax and look at the image above. Which crystal sphere are you drawn to? From left to right: Rose Quartz, Hematite or Carnelian. Underneath each sphere is a tarot card and a crystal oracle card. Below are the messages for each one.

Are you ready?

Card position #1 Rose Quartz Sphere: Malachite & The Magician

As The Magician gazes upon The Malachite crystal, he sees the gift that has been left for him. This powerful stone’s healing energy has the ability to penetrate through the layers (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), to bring healing and transformation. The Magician harnesses the vibration of Malachite today to assist you on your path. He asks you to be patient. Do what you can to help yourself during the process. You may be receiving messages to slow down, relax and start to make more healthy choices around your food and lifestyle. It is important that the body is healthy in order for you to be able to hear the intuitive messages from your soul. You are being encouraged to let go of old patterns that do not serve you anymore. Let the light of healing into all aspects of your being. Be loving and patient with yourself as you embark on this powerful journey.

Card position #2 Hematite Sphere: Stibnite & The Five of Swords

Who is this dark angel that gazes upon the Stibnite crystal? Is he the triumphant victor or is he the defeated one? The five of swords is a sign of discord and conflict. Survival is the name of the game here. Depending on one’s perspective, one can identify with the victor – winning at all costs, or the defeated who has made the choice to walk away to preserve their integrity, or even perhaps their sanity. Stibnite’s energy can sometimes feel a bit sharp. But its vibration encourages one to look at any internal or external conflict in your life. Stibnite’s powerful vibration gives you the courage and strength to face any situation. The Five of Swords and Stibnite encourage you to see it for what it is. A beacon of light shining on something that requires more attention. Is there a lesson in this for you? Take a step back and detach from the drama for a while. Allow yourself to see things from a higher perspective. Tune deeply into your own intuition before you move forward.

Card position #3 Carnelian Sphere: Diopside & The Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune appears next to the Diopside crystal to remind us that we are all deeply connected and aligned with the heart of the Earth. Take some time out and observe the beauty of nature that is around you. Even if you live in the city, nature is there. Look at how dandelions grow in the cracks of the sidewalk. See how the birds build nests in the crevices of buildings. Mother Earth speaks to us all the time, however we must be open to hear her. Not through our ears, but through our intuition, our heart and soul. The Wheel of Fortune is a card about destiny. But what is destiny but the weaving of life’s threads coming together through fate, turning points, choices, movement, change, patterns and cycles in an interconnected world. The Wheel of Fortune, just like Mother Earth is in perpetual motion. When we realize this, we understand that we have the power to make changes in our lives, by redirecting the flow of this energy. We do it every day, albeit unconsciously through our thoughts, habits, perceptions, what we see, what we allow ourselves to believe. All these vibrations effect the turning of our own karmic wheel. Diopside and The Wheel of Fortune encourages you to become a conscious observer. Experiment, try implementing one small positive change in your life. Watch what happens. Pay attention to the synchronicities that line up to present favorable opportunities that have the potential to manifest amazing things for you!

The Giraffe symbolizes foresight, intuition, higher perspective as well as communication. With its long neck and large eyes, its unique perspective allows it to see both opportunities and danger from afar.

Giraffe is a large, powerful animal that has few predators. However it is vulnerable when it reaches down to drink. Therefore it does not linger at the watering hole, only taking a drink every few days.Giraffe is also mostly a quiet animal. This is a message for us to practice discernment in our communications. Be careful with what you reveal to other people. Remember, the watering hole is a place of gathering for both predator and prey.

Another message from Giraffe is to rise above the crowd. Do not allow your mind to be distracted with things you have no control over. Trust your intuition. Maintain your connection to the divine. Is there a future goal you are working towards? Giraffe is a reminder for us to keep our eye on the horizon. The steps you take today, are creating your future. 

The symbolism of the tarot is everywhere, just as I stated in the title of this post. It’s funny, because once one becomes proficient with the tarot, you will will see what I am talking about. You will see the tarot in people, places, situations, movies, etc. I have found that working with the tarot gives me a unique perspective on the world. The conscious and subconscious both work together to use the images of the tarot as a “quick reference” guide to assess the encounters in our every day lives. Sometimes my dreams include tarot cards, or symbols from them! LOL!

I posted a video on my facebook page, wherein I used tarot cards to tell the story of the lyrics to the song “Closer to Fine” by the Indigo Girls. The finished product, looks simple. But this took quite while to put together. There are many subtleties in the tarot. In addition, I challenged myself to use only one deck to “build” the story as it pertained to the song. I embedded the video below:

I plan on doing more of these in the future. It was not only a great mental exercise, but it was a lot of fun!

Tarot does require an open mind. Let’s face it, many people fear these cards. There are many misunderstandings about this art form. And yes, working with the tarot IS an art! A lot of old programming and baggage comes to the surface when people encounter the tarot. But I think it’s more than that. On a deeper level, I don’t think they even realize what it is that makes them uncomfortable.

The tarot is full of archetypal symbolism. These are the symbols that we understand on a “soul” level. This is the core of how the subconscious communicates. Symbols, imagery, feelings, intuition, memories (including dna & soul memories). Most people are “asleep” and don’t go poking around “inside” themselves very much. But our subconscious is running in the background all the time. It is calling the shots, and most people are not even aware of it.

Take out the tarot cards in a room full of people, and you will see a mixture of reactions. Some are curious and start asking questions, some immediately want a “reading” or for you to tell them their future, some scoff at them as if they are some dirty joke, others react in fear. This is where it gets interesting. Some people leave (flee), and others go on the attack. Flight or Fight. Both reactions are from fear! I have to wonder, what was triggered on a subconscious level in those people to make them react in such a way to some cards?

I find this strange. Look at the movies, tv shows, etc. that we watch every day for entertainment. Killings, abuse, assaults of all kinds, pornography, you know what I am talking about. And I am not even going to go into video games. Really? People watch this junk and let their children watch it too. It has a terrible effect on the psyche. Yet this is just fine. But then those same people will react with fear and/or aggression to some cards? I don’t get it. Well, actually I believe I do, but that is a subject for a future post

More and more though, people are becoming open minded about the tarot which is great! The tarot is a powerful tool to help one navigate the inner self. Used in this way, it’s similar to having your own personal therapist/counselor at your disposal at any time! The tarot encourages us to “go deep”. It’s amazing what the cards show us.

Tarot has become especially popular recently, with the younger, modern generations. Many of them are artists that are producing their own tarot decks. There are so many different ones out now. When people ask my advice, I tell them to start with the classic Rider Waite Smith deck. This is the “basic” deck that most other decks base their symbolism on. After one has the basic knowledge, have some fun shopping around. Everyone will be able to find decks that they resonate with. I’ve got quite a growing collection myself!

I repeat again, working with the tarot is an art form! When working with the cards, I go into an altered state just like any other person does when they are in the process of “creating”. When the conscious mind moves aside and the subconscious takes over. Writers, artists, chefs, dancers, painters, etc. know exactly what I am talking about. When you are so “tuned in” to what you are doing, that you truly are outside of time and the material world for a while.

Just like any other skill, the tarot takes practice and study. There is always something new to learn or a new insight. One never truly “masters” the tarot. To me, that is one of the joys of it. It’s an ongoing rabbit hole that allows one to go deeper and deeper into the realm of the subconscious. Once one begins working with the tarot, there is no turning back!

The “magic” of the cards is the integration of the symbolism of the tarot and the intuition. With each shuffle, a broader view of understanding awaits.
