Equinox is Coming! And we say Goodbye to Winter!

Happy, Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Magnificent, Merry, Manifesting March Monday!

Whoot! Whoot! March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh).

I am thrilled because the wild daffs are out, there are carpets of vibrant crocus amongst the Garry Oaks, the forsythia is in full glorious bloom and this all means that Spring is coming!

Which it is! Which heralds a new astrological cycle and Equinox!

A week today here in the Northern Hemisphere we have Spring Equinox (aka Ostara).

I am celebrating by leading an in person circle, for the first time since moving here, a glorious Equinox circle in Creatrix Circle, and a circle for a wonderful colleague!

(So can you say – focused and wiggly excited!!)

Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn. Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth. The Birth of ideas, goals, desires, dreams and hope.

It’s the time to plant seeds literally and figuratively.

It’s a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world.

For myself my whole mind, body and soul responds to the seasons and I have found that when I allow that alignment with the cycles of nature as a practice it is exceptionally transformative.

This is a huge part of the reason why I create the Magickal Manuals for the seasons and celebrations! So currently there is the glorious Ostara Magickal Guide and the Mabon Magickal Manual.

Our bodies know, it’s built into our Ancestral memory and our DNA.

There was a time when we were deeply connected to these rhythms, but, over time, technology and our modern culture has separated us from those celestial vibes and our own inner knowing. (Think about it, when you are surrounded by 8 feet of snow in winter time, are you craving a salad? I don’t believe so!)

However, before we barrel into celebrating Spring it’s important to recognise that the changing seasons are a meaningful time of reflection.

And as much as we like to look forward (what will the new season bring? how do I want to grow & expand in the months ahead?), it’s equally important to look backward.

It’s important to look back on the chapter that’s ending, before a new one begins.

How can you truly integrate your experiences if you’re so eager to just move forward?

How can you integrate the lessons you learned from the things that challenged you, if you just keep facing forward – never pausing to reflect before jumping into the next new chapter of adventures & experiences??

This time at the end of winter is a liminal space: it might not fully feel like winter anymore, but it also doesn’t fully feel like spring. We’re in an in-between time, a time of transition. And it is the PERFECT time to look back on winter & reflect on the wisdom this season brought you.

And when you take the time to do this kind of meaningful reflection, you’re able to move forward into spring a bit wiser, a bit more evolved – and better prepared to truly embrace the powerful growth energy about to flood into your life.

Here are some really insightful, empowering questions to ask yourself here at the end of winter:

What inner wisdom did you gather on your journey inward this winter? What did you learn about yourself?
What challenged you this winter? Where have you felt uncomfortable or out of sorts?
What lessons did you learn? About yourself & about your life??
Where is it clear you are ready to grow?

Okay, I have chuntered on (which I tend to do when passionate about something that is life changing). So let’s crack on with the reading.

This week we have lovely, delicious new guides who wanted to come play and they made me smile. As they are the glorious guides of the “Herbal Astrology Oracle.” So please, let me introduce you.

As above, so below. As within, so without. Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level. An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source.

Perfect guides as we move to Equinox!

There is a lovely guided visualisation to help you tap into the Spring Energy and really strengthen your intentions if you so choose.

If not, just breathe. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth and allow yourself to settle in. Then when you are ready see in your mind’s eye a glorious young green shoot. This is your intention, your desire – invite it in and as you breathe into this gorgeous green being pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

RUE

Protection

Rue is known as the “Herb of Grace” or the “Blessed Herb”.

In Spanish it is known as ruda, and in Greek, it is reuo, which means to “set free”.

Rue is considered a powerful and protective plant with a long and detailed historical use in both medicine and ceremonial rituals. Early physicians considered Rue a vital remedy against plagues, pestilence, and poison.

Rue is said to be the herb of angels, granting us the ability to channel the angelic realms.

It emanates golden energy, like a Lion, powerfully protecting and pouring in light into any space that it inhabits. Resilient like the wide array of Solar herbs, it grows generously and abundantly, thriving in all kinds of terrain, demonstrating its strong life force and vitality.

Rue has come to remind you to protect your aura from lurking and unhealthy people, spirits or situations that might be consuming your energy.

Don’t allow parasitic negativity to darken your field, which can create perpetual states of self-criticism, self-doubt, or self-loathing.

Call upon Rue’s power to shield your body with angelic forces and restore radiance, vitality, and love in your atmosphere.

Rue is ruled by the Sun and Pluto.

TULSI

Wealth

The Tulsi Goddess sits proudly facing her beautiful Peacock, symbolising heaven on Earth.

She raises her arms with grace, aiming them like wands to catalyse magic and wealth.

The fountain is centred between the Goddess and the Peacock, representing the wellspring created between Earth, the manifest world, and Heaven, the spirit world.

Peacock embodies the medicine of auspiciousness, magic, and beauty, reminding us that we are the living gateway to the greatest of mysteries.

Tulsi has come to you today to teach you that the key to Jupiter’s doorway (abundance and wisdom) is to live, create, and communicate from a place of wonder, innocence, and impeccability (Mercury), rather than doubt or confusion.

Don’t be fooled by material possessions or the vanity often worshipped in the material world.

Tune into the deeper realities that abound around you; be spontaneous and celebrate your temple just as you are.

Tulsi, also known as Tulasi, is frequently mentioned as one of the main pillars of herbal medicine in ancient Ayurvedic texts, some dating back to as far as 5000 BC.

It is known as the “Incomparable One”, the “Queen of Herbs,” and the “Mother Medicine of Nature.”

With its ability to enhance cerebral circulation and memory, Tulsi greatly embodies the archetype of Mercury, the great communicator who governs our conscious mind, perception, understanding along with primarily the nervous system, and respiratory system.

PALO SANTO

Guardian

Palo Santo is a protective wand that grants us the power of unlocking innate gifts that have laid dormant, inactive, or blocked.

Palo Santo, like the Fox, is here to assist you as a spirit guide, who helps you navigate the spirit world.

The Sechuran Foxes, native to South America, nestle among the desert forest of Palo Santo for shelter, living in symbiosis with these precious trees.

Foxes are symbolic of the afterlife, invisibility, and the sacred trickster.

Palo Santo neutralises the venom of dark tricksters and alchemises its poison into gold; becoming the sacred trickster.

Palo Santo is here to remind you to activate your dormant gifts.

You are a guardian of the sacred that has walked many paths; know that you can neutralise the greatest poisons, back talk, smack talk and most certainly outwit the smartest of tricksters.

Palo Santo’s medicinal qualities are very Plutonic in nature, as it powerfully cleanses malignant energy, while being highly invocatory and perfect for strong intention setting.

Palo Santo has a long history of use as a magic wand that unlocks innate gifts that have lain dormant, inactive, or blocked, like wisdom, intuition, and sight to see into the past and past lives.

Wow, what glorious messages and guidance as we play with the building Spring Equinox energy! By the way, thank you for all your lovely messages and shares, I soooo appreciate hearing how you are. Remember to gift yourself one of the Magickal Manuals to embody this energy fully. Sending you massive squeezes, warm sunbeams and a bouquet of bobbly daffodils. See you next week! (Maybe lol).

Happy Virgo Worm Moon! (Do worms have an astrological sign?) and So Much More!

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

Happy Moony, Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting Monday!

How are you, gorgeous one? How was your week?

Okay, we have lots to unpack this week as we are now in March, and you’ve heard the saying “In like a lion, out like a lamb?”

Well March brings us so many shifts and changes it might feel a tad turbulent and bumpy in spots, and to be honest, that might be a tad challenging, or not. It all depends on you! So w e have a glorious Virgo Worm Moon on Tuesday March 7th, (and again I ask – do worms have an astrological sign?)

The energy has shifted for March to “Turbulence Ahead”, and we have Equinox arriving on March 20th! (And yes! To all of you who have asked if there is going to be a guide for Equinox, there most certainly is! )

There is the delicious OMG (Ostara Magickal Guide) for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere who are going to experience the Spring Equinox. There is also the delightful MMM (Mabon Magickal Manual) for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere.

Oh yes, we have Saturn moving signs into Pisces (very emotional time), let alone what is happening with Pluto! (Can you do a glorious happy dance in your kitchen?)

Phew!

So let’s unpack, are you ready?

Tomorrow (Tuesday the 7th) we welcome in the Virgo Worm Moon. I purposefully am combining both the astrological and the true name of this Full Moon. Also, remember the Full Moon energy plays for 3 – 4 days either side of its culmination.

March 2023 paves the way for some of the most transformative cosmic events of the year. By the end of the month, we are likely to have faced change, healing, and the welcoming of new opportunities.

“To prepare us for all of these cosmic events, the Full Moon on March 7 will be our lighthouse.

Falling in the sign of Virgo, the March Full Moon will feel like a tonic, like an elixir that is specially crafted just for us to help us navigate all that this month is destined to bring.

The Virgo Full Moon will be our medicine, delivering exactly what is needed at this stage of our soul’s evolution.

Pay attention to where you feel called under this Full Moon. Do you feel guided to rest, release, or welcome new opportunities? Do you feel guided to go within and get still, or to put yourself and your creations out into the world?

There is so much brewing under this Full Moon it just seems that anything is possible, so honour your needs and pay attention to what your mind, body, and soul are trying to share.”

Traditionally, the Full Moon of March 2023 is called the Worm Moon, and it’s considered the final Moon of Winter. The Spring season is upon us, and with it, new life and excitement.

The Worm Moon’s spiritual meaning reflects the fresh starts taking place everywhere you look!

Tiny buds are pushing their way up through the earth, filling your heart and soul with pure joy. Birds, squirrels, and other critters scurry about, and you wonder if they feel the same hope and anticipation you do.

Whether physically or metaphorically, it’s time to plant seeds you can harvest and reap the rewards of later this year. What hard work and energy can you do NOW to help out your future self?

It’s time to get specific on your goals and focus your energy on your specific intention.

“Drink in whatever medicine this March Full Moon brings and recognize you are being prepared for something bigger.

As you journey through all of this lunar energy, be kind, patient, and gentle with yourself.”

Okay, if you skipped the Moon energy, I advise you to re-read it again as it ties into the March energy of Turbulence Ahead.

Let’s let Lena explain this.

“This is an exciting time that will be inspiring to some and terrifying to others.

Make sure your seat belts are fastened and your basic security needs are met.

This is a month where some of you will be delighted and inspired by the ignition of creative energy fueling the intentions and projects that were stagnant in their movement forward. Others of you may be hit with karmic completions that rear their heads for you to deal with before anything else can move forward.

And some of you will still feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of clearing and releasing and uncluttering that still needs to be done.”…………

Are you paying attention to how this Full Moon folds into the monthly energy?

Last but not least we have Equinox on March 20th.

Now if you have never worked with the power of Equinox energy, I highly suggest you do.

This is why OMM and MMM have been created!

This is a balance point, this is a point where here in the Northern Hemisphere we are coming out of Winter (the time of conception and incubation) and are planting the seeds we want to see flourish for the rest of the year.

Which again ties into this delicious Virgo Worm Moon energy and the Turbulence.

What are your seeds? Do you know?

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading! When I went and asked which cards wanted to come out. The cards that wiggled and jiggled to come and guide this week are the glorious Oracle of the Dragonfae. Now if these delicious guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:-

These guides are the magickal and mystical that weave through the threads of every day, they are the Dragonfae, Gods and Goddesses who dwelt in dimensional lands….Eden, Avalon, Ys, Atlantis and Mu, they are Morgan, Guenevere, Merlin and others – fully alive and filled with magick!

They are the deliciously magickal beings that have always been there, we just forgot, and when we connect with them, we reconnect with the lost parts of ourselves, allowing us to fully explore the gift of life on this beautiful green and blue planet, known by some as Gaia, by others as Dana, and by many other names.

The most perfectly delicious guides as we approach the Equinox and with the Full Moon tomorrow – whoot.

Also there are 3 delicious new crystals that were insistent they wanted to come play. We have Angel Aura Quartz, Dragon Blood Jasper and Spiderweb Jasper. Yum!

So my darling, let’s get grounded shall we? Gently close your eyes and breathe yourself here, into this moment, into this body you inhabit. Allow your breath to fill up all the corners of your being and let your essence dance freely within you. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that will support you as we navigate these delicious energies.

If you need some more support getting grounded I have a wee guided visualisation for you that will help. You can do it anywhere – the grocery line, in your car, at your desk, you name it!

Let’s Get Grounded

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

GRANDMOTHER MAGICKS

At this time of life change, you are drawing to you other beings and people, including divinities, who bring you solace, comfort and their unconditional love. You are surrounded by this comfort even in the beings of this Earth known as pets, but who are truly your guardians and beloved companions…these pets are those who comfort you with their love and warmth, and their desire for your well-being, your company and your happiness, come what may. You may draw new friends to you at this time, or just be gifted with the kindness of strangers.

There are many wonderful beings in this world, some of whom are being sent directly to you to bring you comfort, to hold you, and to rock you safely to sleep each night. You are a being who is valuable, and who is loved beyond measure. Allow us to come close to you, and let us in. Bre prepared for kindnesses, small gifts and valuable windfalls when I make an appearance. Also, know that the old way of viewing this stage of life has fallen away….there is no need to take the lie up again. Let it be, and come forth into this new stage as beautiful as we know you are.

I also wish you to know that the time for change is coming: that you are passing from childhood of a kind, to a true deep maturity…this is a fine thing, and we will celebrate this together, you and I, together with the friends who want so very much to meet you!

WU-WANG

In times of olde, they said that only those who were pure could connect with those like myself. That the virgin could connect with the Unicorn. That the child could see the meaning of God. That the fae would truly see into your heart, and finding it corrupt, would never appear to you.

I am here to tell you that your heart is pure and wild and innocent. It is that you have forgotten how to see us, that you have been told that in order to see us, you must be perfect. That in order to see us, you must be mad, unclean, broken, and if you say you have seen us, you face being shunned.

I am here to say to you that we appear to those who have looked into their hearts and have seen beyond the woundings….because within you there is a wild and untrammelled heart space which is free of any taint. In that space we can enter and therefore, we can and we will be seen again. You were not born into this world wrong or sinful. There may be karmic markings, but you are no sinner, nor are you corrupt or unworthy. Foster that which is wild and pure and good with you, and we will begin to appear and come forth. You will feel us on the wind, in the water, see us in the fire and hear our voices emanating from the heart of our mother, the Earth.

You are a child of the Mother, call her what you will, and at your core you are one of the wild ones. That is my message for you.

LADY LUNA’S MAGICK

You know that I shine upon this Earth and that we belong to each other. Yet you have disconnected, for all your knowledge, when only a few moments spent beneath my rays would cleanse your entire energy field, assisting you in shining your light at the full moon. And with my dark time, you may go within and find the secrets you have kept hidden from yourself and look at them without blame or fear. So I ask you now, as my moon Dragonfae flies about me, sending the energy ever turning, to connect with me, Lady Luna. When you do connect, you will be more complete and the yearning and sense of hopelessness that I feel from you from time to time will ease, be soothed and finally, dissolve.

Take my healing powers and light as yours: as they are. Reflect upon me and I will reflect upon you, and your dreams and visions will gain in strength, clarity and power, all the while keeping you safe and grounded. My light has shone over the Dragonfae, the magickal world, the beings you call human and all those of the animal and plant kingdom, the minerals, the dreams and the flowers and all are mine, and I am theirs. My light ran through the veins of your ancestors and they understood me better than you, for all your knowledge, sometimes do now. Please, let us be friends and companions once again. Do not be afraid of my light and my night time self, for you are the same as me and we are both older than time itself.

Learn your moon sign: this will give you many clues as to who you are at the core of your being, who you are under the layers and layers of (unmagickal) conditioning that can rub away and erode our natural intuitive abilities and magickal gifts.

Love, love the guides this week! How did your card resonate for you? Okay gorgeous bean, remember to put your crystals out in the moonlight, gather some moon water (fabulous for your plants and your body), and get clear, grounded and centred. Most certainly grab either OMM or MMM to get you prepared for the Equinox! Big hugs and squeezes and let’s enjoy the ride!

The Coldest Night of The Year and Pluto (Not the dog)!

Jenny Heston · 7:07 am ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Magnetic, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

The last Monday of February, can you believe it! And in usual Mumma Nature style the weather has gone bonkers! Arctic winds of 70 km/hr have been sweeping through over and over, plummeting temperatures and snow galore for some people.

In other words it is frigging cold and unusually cold (so please don’t tell me there is no such thing as global warming!)

So I am going to post a warning here. If you don’t want to read about tough things that are present in your community, no matter where you live – skip what is written.

With this sudden onset of cold I found it rather ironic, as across many communities nationally, February 25th is The Coldest Night of The Year Walk.

This walk started in 2011 to raise funds and awareness around homelessness (and I loathe the phrase “unhoused”) and poverty.

The funds all go to a local charity that is on the streets and helps to fund food, clothes, support and programmes for a very vulnerable part of our communities.

Having spent my Valentine’s Day wandering through various tent and tarp cities sharing little love packages of gorgeous cookies, and listening to some very intense stories, of course I had to walk!

When I signed up it was a balmy 5C – pffft. Not a problem.

Since then, the winds have been extreme, the cold is biting and when I’m out with Danu (the amazing therapy dog) it’s challenging, but I know that I have a warm home to go back to. I can turn on the kettle and make a nice cuppa and if my clothes are wet, I can change.

But, what if all you have is a tarp and a concrete sidewalk?

What if there is no way to get warm and dry, let alone open your fridge or cupboard to select something to eat?

For many of us, if we go outside and it’s too cold, we go back into the warmth. The walk which is only 5 km long goes through some tough areas, cold areas, areas where people are sleeping in doorways. This gives a wee glimpse, an iota taste of what it is like to be out in that level of cold, trying to sleep, be safe and stay warm. What it is to not feel safe.

That’s why I choose to walk, as the phrase that keeps popping into my head is “There by the Grace of God go I.”

What I found interesting was I sent out an invitation to all sorts of people to donate. Some I knew were exceptionally affluent and had never struggled in their life, others, money was tight. What was interesting was 2/3rds of the affluent ones didn’t donate at all, in fact I received a message about “Those people did it to themselves.” Wow.

The ones that did donate were tight on money, but they could see the people as people.

Life holds no 100% guarantees at all, other than you are born, you die. And having listened to a wee couple in their 80s on Valentines that had been on the street for just over a month due to the landlord tripling their rent………..

It made my heart sad.

So remember, we are part of a collective (whether you recognise it or not). Smile at someone, take a moment to talk, offer what you can – even if it is only time. But we are all interconnected and it’s important to be aware of that.

Okay, now I will get off my soapbox! Lol.

Interesting to see, as I write this, this was not what I thought I would be writing (I love it when that happens), but we do have Saturn moving. But more importantly, gorgeous Pluto is changing signs and is moving into Aquarius for the first time in 200+ years!

A little snippet on Pluto before we crack on with the reading.

“Pluto is our subconscious, the skeletons in the closet, the things that we have swept under the rug. Pluto is 3am in the morning when you are all alone and the world is quiet.

Pluto represents our deepest desires, our deepest fears, and our deepest subconscious programming. Pluto works in the backgrounds of our lives, moving us through constant cycles of death and rebirth until we are transformed into our fullest potential. How much we allow it to work its magic is up to us and our level of consciousness.”

So with that all being said let’s crack on with the reading shall we? Lol..

When I asked my guides how they wanted to share with you. I laughed.

They picked Sacred Destiny Oracle. So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do. There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet. However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future.

It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be. This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.

In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment. These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

So my darling, if you don’t think we are all interconnected, well these are the guides to remind you.

Okay dear one, take a moment to just BE.

Let your breathing slow naturally and allow yourself to pull all the parts of you back. Any parts that are attached to work, the kids, the weather – whatever. Just breathe them back in and allow all the pieces of you to coalesce in your heart. See the abundance that surrounds you, let it fill you, let it warm your heart and see it expanding out of you.

If you need a bit of support playing with the abundance in your life, I have a wee guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready. From that state of Gratitude and Abundance. Pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

RELAXATION

On a warm, peaceful autumn night, a gentle haze softens the light of the full moon. The songs of night birds softly emerge through the dark, against the backdrop of the sonorous outpouring of the frogs that line the lake’s shore.

The stillness allows your senses to expand. You inhale the earthy dampness in the air, hear the nuances of the night sounds, look at the muted reflections of the moon in the lake, and sense the deep quietude of the night.

All is well. No need to strive or push to get ahead. Beneath the surface of life, everything is gently propelling you in the right direction. You can lay down your burdens and simply unwind.

Slow down and allow calmness to fill you.

When you relax and relinquish control, your intuition expands, and you create the space for your spirit guardians to help you.

Additionally, it’s vastly easier to heal and have positive outcomes in life when you are rested and not filled with worry and a need to control outcomes. Lie back, stretch out, and watch magic unfold in your life.

TRUST

The desert seems parched and devoid of life, yet it is to the desert that spiritual sojourners go to gain messages from the Creatrix. Traditionally, the desert is the place of spiritual cleansing, renewal, and profound healing visions.

Just as desert terrains can feed our souls, they also nourish lands thousands of miles away.

For example, the Sahara desert and the Amazon rain forest are a great distance from each other. One is a vast, dry area of sand and scrub, while the other is moist, lush, and green. And yet they are connected.

Annually, thousands of tons of nutrient-rich dust from the Sahara crosses continents in the upper atmosphere and deposits vital phosphorus and other minerals to the Amazon, which is needful of those exact nutrients.

This is a powerful and important message to receive.

Even when things seem parched or not fruitful, a deeper energy speaks of the power of your inner knowing. Meditate.

Trust those nudges from the Universe. Your celestial advisors are close by. Open up to receive some of the most important messages of your life through your intuition.

Your intuition is spot on, so trust it. And even if there are some areas of your life that seem lacklustre, know that other areas are being fertilised for a resplendent future.

Have faith, and know that there is a higher purpose.

BLESSINGS

In many ancient cultures, it was believed that there were some springs that were holy. Gods and goddesses were thought to reside in or near these special places, and they were revered.

Greek mythology is replete with stories of those special places. Many of the Christian hallowed water sources, such as the Chalice Well, were used for sacred purposes long before Christianity rose to prominence.

These kinds of springs were thought to be healing waters where blessings were bestowed by mystical beings.

Immense blessings are emerging into your life from those in Spirit. Angels, guides, and spirit guardians are watching over you. Angelic intervention is available to you.

Be open to the voice of the Divine. Messages are all around you. You are protected, you are safe. Have faith that your path is guided. Watch for signs that spiritual beings are present.

Profound healing energy will flow to you in wondrous ways if you welcome it in.

Refreshing, replenishing energy is filling your life.

Mmmmm, those are fabulous guides for this week. Dance with Pluto, feel the abundance that surrounds you, be kind to others and have a fabulous week. Oh yes, and stay warm! See you next week!

The Codes of the Seeds

Jenny Heston · 4:09 pm ·

THE CODES OF THE SEEDS

Seeds must be buried in the darkness before they can bloom into the light.

Seeds cannot even begin to bloom without embracing the fertile void of the winter soil.

Seeds cannot flower without first outgrowing the constraints of the bud.

Seeds cannot bear fruit without releasing their beauty to the earth and letting go of the very thing that captivated others to them.

Seeds come in knowing exactly what to do. Within them they hold the potential of entire forests and rose gardens.

Seeds have within them an intelligent timing that is connected with the intelligence of the entire cosmos.

We are all seeds.

Future forests and gardens waiting to be born.

Each of us holding the codes of a new yet ancient humanity within us.

Change is our natural state.

What’s Love Got to Do with it?

Jenny Heston · 10:10 am ·

Happy Mellow, Magickal, Mystifying, Manifesting, Marvellous Monday!

Oh my giddy aunt, as I started writing this reading my guides came in with an amazing soundtrack of love songs, songs from my parents era “Love is in the air”. Tina Turner rocking “What’s love got to do with it”, and a shed ton more!

I had “thought” I was going to write about Valentine’s Day and how it is in essence a made up day that Hallmark and whomever sells the choccies and red roses are doing very well with.

Yet again, I got a huge smack down on that from what I call my “posse”, and when they smack, I pay the frig attention, so it’s not going to be what I thought – so stick with me, lol – or don’t, your choice.

So most certainly in Western cultures Valentine’s day is being celebrated. The stores are filled with gitchy things to buy, a single rose is $7 and the price of chocolate has gone up by 35%. Wow.

Personally I find Valentine’s Day irritates me, not because I don’t believe in love, but why on earth do we need just one day where we are meant to be loving, and why is it only focused on romantic love?

What if you aren’t in a romantic relationship? What if you’ve lost your partner? I mean for criminies sake, why aren’t we celebrating all forms of love – family, friends, community, nature, spiritual and most importantly self love?

Because, let’s be honest – without self love and appreciation for your own gorgeous being, you don’t have anything! (And NO self love is NOT selfish!)

Had to clear that up as one of my clients a while ago said that they felt selfish taking time for themselves and doing something nurturing.

Self-love is all about nourishing your mind, spirituality, and physical body. Try to aim at all three of these to create a more well-rounded self-care plan. Focus on activities you get excited about doing. This is all about you after all, if it doesn’t give you a little thrill, why bother?

To fully love, forgive and accept yourself is magickal, and allows the Divine to flow through you.

So I invite you to think about love and romance in a whole different way this year.

Look at ways you can increase your self-love. How can you take better care of yourself?

How can you be your own best lover and your own best partner?

Offer yourself all the things you would love to have from a lover.

Book romantic dates for yourself.

Make love to yourself slowly, and with intention.

Spend time journaling your feelings.

Say all those wonderful words that you say to your best friend, to build them up, to yourself.

If you’re struggling, get the help and support that you need to release the doubts and fears.

Fall in love with your glorious self every day, not just Valentine’s Day.

And remember, love all of yourself – even the jiggly bits lol, because you are so, so, so very worth it!

Use the energy of this Pisces New Moon that comes in on February 19th, to really tap into your emotions and write a love letter to yourself!

I’ve created a glorious Self Love Spell, which is an easy and lovely candle ritual for you to do.

Okay, I have chuntered on enough, so let’s crack on with the reading.

When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK. Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you. You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.

There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart.“

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

Okay dear heart, just settle into yourself. Allow your breath to find its natural rhythm. Just breathe into all the corners of your glorious being, and allow in your mind’s eye a glorious vortex to start swirling. As it opens, see it filled with love, all sorts of love and allow it to soothe you and to remind you that you are love incarnate. Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that dance around your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

HERO

Believe that you are worthy of an amazing life.

You don’t need to feel guilty or hold yourself back to make anyone else feel comfortable.

You don’t need to be timid or uncertain, worrying that you are becoming too much for someone else or asking too much from the Universe.

Living a great life is not about competition with anyone else. Living a great life helps inspire others to do the same – it doesn’t take anything away from anyone else.

If your dreams both excite and scare you, that’s a good sign. Give yourself permission to go for it. Go after what you want with a happy heart.

You have every right to be proud of yourself. You have courage. You have listened to your heart, even though sometimes that seemed to be the harder choice to make. You may have days when you don’t feel so heroic, but, deep within you know you have guts and you are strong.

You know that a challenge is the way the Universe shows you that you are capable of something more.

An opportunity is before you, now. Has your heart been urging you to take a stand or take action in some way? Would you feel proud of yourself if you honoured that?

Then do it!!!!

You are learning what it is to truly respect and take pride in yourself. That means feeling good about the sort of person you choose to be, how you choose to live your life – not lowering your standards to be the same as everyone else, but honouring your heart, becoming an inspiration to yourself.

You don’t need to try to impress anyone. You are an awesome human being, and you have everything within to make yourself proud.

It’s time to step up. It’s time to be your own here.

WILD AND FREE

This is an important time in your life, when you are being guided to lead from your heart. Even if it makes no sense to you or anyone else – or if your mind screams at you with fear and doubt – don’t ignore what your heart is telling you.

Give yourself the time and space that you need, away from the noise and the demands of the world and other people, so that the quiet voice of your heart can be heard. Then take courage and act on what you feel.

Your heart is wise and worthy of your trust.

Your heart was never meant to be tamed. It is always truthful.

When you allow yourself to be true to your heart, it will show you how to create a beautiful contribution to this world that fills you up with joy and peace.

You don’t need to be ashamed of what you feel or be persuaded that you should feel differently. Your heart has wisdom beyond the logic of the mind. It has its own creative genius, a unique way to reframe problems, attract solutions and empower us to bring our dreams to life.

Some may be afraid of the wild freedom of the heart. You are not one of those people.

Your mind may not always understand why your heart feels and guides you the way it does, but that is OK. Reassure your mind that your heart can show you how to live in a way that is amazing – and that it’s safe to trust in that.

You are a wild child of the Universe, and your heart is showing you the way to fulfil your divine destiny.

Give yourself permission to live a life that makes your heart.

The world needs your joy!

PRINCESS SAVIOUR

Even if you feel uncertain about facing a challenge, believe in yourself.

You are strong enough to conquer this. There will be help if you need it, but you already have the inner resources required to overcome any obstacle and attain the most blessed outcome.

If you are in the process of letting go of someone or something – perhaps an old habit, an old way of life, a relationship or a situation in which you have felt trapped – don’t allow insecurity or uncertainty to stop you.

You’ve got this, and you are doing the right thing in moving on.

When you realise that you are strong enough to save yourself (which you are), you never have to be afraid again. As well as inner strength, you have inner wisdom.

Deep within, you just know when something or someone is (or is not) worthy of your time, energy and attention.

The most precious treasure that you will ever have is the divine gift of yourself.

There is nothing that is more valuable, and no one that is worth losing yourself over.

You don’t need permission from anyone other than yourself to decide to walk away from what isn’t right for you, or to stand your ground and honour your values, or to say no and refuse to give in to social pressures.

You can be open to help and grateful for assistance, but you also know that whenever you need it, you have the power to learn, to act, to figure it out, to find the love within that will empower you for the life that you deserve.

Woosah! Those were glorious messages for the week! So gorgeous one, sending you big love, squeezes, warm cups of tea and a soothed soul. May your heart be full and your spirit light! Try out the candle ritual and remember – You are loved, you are worthy and you are amazing! See you in 2 weeks!

A week today here in the Northern Hemisphere we have Spring Equinox (aka Ostara).

Our bodies know, it’s built into our Ancestral memory and our DNA.

Happy Moony, Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting Monday!

It’s time to get specific on your goals and focus your energy on your specific intention.

What are your seeds? Do you know?

To fully love, forgive and accept yourself is magickal, and allows the Divine to flow through you.

And remember, love all of yourself – even the jiggly bits lol, because you are so, so, so very worth it!
