2023 is Here and this 7 year invites you to Resonate, Discern and Align.

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious lovely?  It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks!  I had such great plans of taking a few weeks of winter hibernation to relax, play, create – however, I obviously didn’t phrase it correctly as I kept saying “I want two weeks off to sleep, read and do nothing.” So the Divine, with their gorgeous sense of humour gave me an upper respiratory thing that kicked my arse!

Remember kids – words have power. Intentions have even more power!

Welcome to January 2023.  I don’t know about you but the first week of January has felt a month long!

I will say that this Gregorian Calendar of “It’s a New Year ” puts a lot of expectations on people, and they are normally negative ones.  Which thoroughly irritates me, as it is something that is pushed in the media, magazines, our collective culture.  

 If someone else asks me what my resolutions are I may bop them on the nose – as I don’t believe in them!

To me, resolutions are made because – “everyone does this”,  we should all make resolutions as it’s a New Year.  Mmmmmm, having done them for years (because that was expected), they are normally based on fixing something about oneself or not feeling enough.  

An example.  As someone who used to go to the gym daily, I would see people flood in at the beginning of January with the resolution of “I have to get fit and buff”.  Mmmm, okay.  By early February you never saw them again.

Why?

Because the intention wasn’t based on the energies that are in play, nor in how they wanted to feel.

So let’s look at 2023. In Numerology this coming year is a 7 year.

7 is the number of soul searching and really connecting our higher self to our earthly plane.

It’s the year for tuning into your soul, your heart, your wise inner self and tuning out the noise of the world.  

This year will be rich in spiritual lessons and change will be immense (we have Saturn, Jupiter and most importantly – Pluto moving!)  And as the saying goes – when Pluto changes signs, all sorts of things change.  

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, revise, re-vision and re-think (or re-feel) into what is in your best and highest good.

The words that come up strongly are: Resonate, Discern and Align.

So ask yourself these questions:

What does your soul want you to share with you?

What would it feel like to move in the world from a place of ease, alignment and to really thrive?

How do you want to make your mark in the world?

Last but not least, How do you want to live?

(So there is some musing for you to play with!)

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.  The cards that flew out and at me this week  are the amazing Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh my soxs off – as the world does feel like that right now, circus like.  

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to would be most rude!)

“What is life if not a Divine Circus?  Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us  moments earlier.  Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary.  It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment.  Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops.  Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you.  It’s fun, we are going on a yomp and an explore!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look at the first guides of 2023.

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense.  It is laughing with you, not at you.  You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life.  There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears.  Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with Lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime.  The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild.  Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message.  You are being empowered to overcome all odds.  So you are going to win.  No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either!  She is sending the best possible situation to you even now.  It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.  No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.  She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light.  She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.  

You probably won’t see it coming.  It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true.  But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care.  Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.  

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do).  Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert.  Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. 

Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know.  You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once.  Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!  

Give your truths value.  Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.  Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.  

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload.  You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. 

Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting?  When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.  The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul.  Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right. 

Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.

If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise.  It simply will not be worthwhile. 

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying.  To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says.  No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within.  Even if a person declares that they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment.  It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.  With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up! 

What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.  

Take time this week to really FEEL into what you want to experience this year, and how you want to ALIGN with it.  Big hugs and squeezes, and see you next week.
