Weekly Reading

As the Sun Rises, So Do You!

Gorgeous Soul,

Welcome to June. We have lots to discuss today as with the June energy there are some glorious changes happening over here.

However, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how quickly we arrived here?

One minute it felt like we were crawling our way through the mud and intensity of spring, blinking at the chaos of the world and trying to remember where we put our nervous systems… and now suddenly the roses are blooming, the bees are drunk with pollen, the evenings are stretching long and golden, and Summer Solstice is peeking around the corner.

And honestly? I can feel her already.

There is something about June that feels alive in a different way. The air itself feels fuller somehow. Richer. Like the earth has exhaled and said, “Right then sweetie, let’s begin.”

Because that’s the interesting thing about Summer Solstice. Even though it marks the height of the Sun’s power, the longest day of the year, it is also somehow just the beginning.

The beginning of summer.
The beginning of the true growing season.
The beginning of something new inside ourselves.

And that has always fascinated me.

Summer Solstice has been celebrated since Neolithic times. Humans have gathered around fires, honoured the Sun, danced, feasted, prayed and whispered wishes into the warm night air for thousands upon thousands of years. There is something deeply ancient about this moment on the Wheel of the Year. Something instinctive.

Something our bones remember.

And if you know me at all, you know I adore the old stories surrounding Solstice. The veil is thin at this time of year. The Fae are said to wander more freely. The world becomes a little more enchanted, a little more slippery, a little more alive with possibility and mischief.

I mean honestly, even Shakespeare was writing about midsummer magick in the 1500s, so clearly humans have been enchanted by this energy for a very long time. Muhahaha.

But beneath the whimsy and flower crowns and bonfires, there is something incredibly powerful happening energetically this month.

The Sun reaches its highest point in the sky here in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it comes this invitation for us to rise too.

Not in the hustle-until-you-collapse kind of way.

But in the authentic kind of way.

The kind where you stop apologising for who you are.

The kind where you stop dimming yourself to make others comfortable.

The kind where you finally allow yourself to say, “Actually… this is what I want. This is who I am becoming. This is the life I want to create.”

That is the energy I keep feeling over and over again for June.

Creative liberation.
Authentic expression.
The beginning of a new era.

There is this sense that many of us are standing at a threshold right now. Something has reached its pinnacle. Something has completed. Something is quietly asking to be released with love.

And at the exact same time, something new is stretching awake inside of us.

I keep hearing the words “right-sizing your life.”

Not making your life smaller.
Not making yourself smaller.

But creating a life that actually fits who you are now instead of who you used to be.

And if I’m being honest, this energy has been moving through my own life in a very big way these last few months.

I have been sitting quietly with a lot. Listening. Watching. Allowing things to unfold instead of forcing answers before they are ready.

And somewhere in all of that, I realised something that genuinely startled me.

I have been doing weekly readings for fourteen years.

Fourteen.

Years.

When that landed in my body, I just sat there blinking for a minute because it has been such a huge part of my life and my work and my connection with all of you. I have loved writing them. Loved tapping into the energy every week. Loved the rhythm and ritual of it.

But I have also changed. My work has changed.

The way I want to create has changed.

And June, with all this glorious Solstice energy of authenticity and creative liberation, feels like the right moment to lovingly loosen my grip on what has been and make space for what wants to arrive next.

So there will still be weekly readings through June, but during July and August we are going to slow things down and work more deeply with the monthly energies, the seasonal shifts and the other magickal bits and pieces that are asking to come through.

However prior to stepping into the monthly, as many of you have asked – yes there will be a Summer Solstice Reading Special (it will be the last one I will be doing). There will be 21 spots available and if you are part of our glorious email community – you will find out about it on Thursday!

And then in September… oh sweetie… September feels big.

Because I am being guided toward creating more spaces of community.

Not polished, curated, performative community.

Real community.

The kind where people can show up messy and grieving and hopeful and magical and exhausted and joyful all at once. The kind where we gather around metaphorical fires and remember we were never meant to do this human thing alone.

And honestly? I am pig wiggly excited about it.

At the same time, this season has also held deep grief for me.

It was recently the second anniversary of losing the Mothership, and grief is such a strange companion. It sneaks up in unexpected moments. A smell. A sentence. A memory. A flower blooming at the wrong time.

There is something profoundly disorienting about becoming an adult orphaned child. About realising there is no longer anyone alive who has known you from the very beginning.

And layered within that has been the grief of rupture. Of family. Of endings. Of becoming someone new while also carrying the ache of what has been lost.

Perhaps that is also part of Solstice wisdom.

The understanding that life is always asking us to hold both.

Joy and grief.
Endings and beginnings.
Fire and tenderness.
Release and becoming.

So if you have been feeling stretched between worlds lately, if you have been feeling the ache of change alongside the excitement of possibility, you are not alone.

The Sun is asking all of us to rise right now.

To tend our inner flame.
To stop abandoning ourselves.
To trust what is trying to bloom.

Because as the outer Sun reaches the height of its power this month, your own inner Sun has the potential to rise too.

Your fire. Your creativity. Your ability to create, act, love, express and become.

All of it is being touched by this energy. So breathe that in for a moment.

Let the warmth of it settle into your bones. Let it ignite the parts of you that are ready to come alive again.

And when you are ready, sweet soul, pick the card — or cards — that are calling to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

GO DARK

Your darkness is not your enemy.

It can seem scary, but it’s where new life grows and develops. You do too.

This moment calls you to be willing to be with your own darkness. It asks you to embrace your dark as your beloved ally. To cradle your uncertainty.

The dark night of the soul holds secrets for you that you wouldn’t be able to see in the brightness of glaring certainty.

Poet Mary Oliver spoke about a box of darkness as a priceless gift in her life.

Chaos, crisis and suffering want to gift you a new understanding of who you really are beyond who you always thought yourself to be.

COURT THE FEMININE

The word cunning is closely associated with the fox.

Cunning, like foxes and women, has been given a bad rap.

Many have twisted the word’s sacred origins into something manipulative and conniving.

But the word cunning comes from an older Middle English word “ken”, a range of knowledge or sight.

A cunning person understands that deep internal sight and wide-range vision lead to building an authentic life. Excavate your deep knowing and trust its messages.

This is the way your soul-sight grows sharp, and your instincts return to the untamed power you were born with.

Sharpen your cunning to cut away what no longer serves.

No matter your gender, your life deserves the fierce protection that feminine discernment can bring.

CRAFT YOUR FOCUS

Your vision is a magnifying energy source, amplifying and expanding what it perceives.

In any single moment you have one choice. You can turn your gaze toward what you don’t want, what isn’t working, what you are fearful of, what you worry about.

Or, you can look at what you treasure, what you love, and what you hope for, despite what reality tells you is possible.

Either way, what you focus on grows, right?

Now is the time to use this very simple power to direct the energy and flow of your experience.

When you focus on what you already have with gratitude, and what you want with love and appreciation, you create the energy version of your vision before there is any proof in the material world.

This moment invites you to consciously choose your focus.

Okay, have to say – love these cards! All deep, rich and meaningful! Wishing you a glorious beginning of June, may you step into your authenticity and make sure you are part of our glorious email community so you can take one of the 21 spots.

Massive hugs and rose petals.

Stopping to Smell the Roses in a World on Fire.

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Happy May.

And can we all just take a collective moment to whisper, “thank goodness the energy shifted,” after the absolute firestorm that was April? Whoot. I don’t know about you, but April felt like being spiritually tumble-dried at times. Fast, fiery, intense, illuminating… and honestly a little exhausting.

But May?

May arrives differently.

She doesn’t burst through the door demanding transformation. She slips quietly into the garden barefoot, smelling faintly of lilacs and damp earth, asking us to soften our shoulders, unclench our jaws and remember that life is meant to be lived, not merely survived.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and if I’m honest, it felt gloriously bitter-sweet.

Every Mother’s Day I would head over to my Mum’s with baked goods, plants, soil and planters and create beautiful overflowing pots for her to enjoy. It was ritual. Tradition. Love woven through dirt-covered hands and flowers.

But with Mum dying just over a year ago, that ritual no longer exists in the same way.

And grief is funny like that.

It sneaks into ordinary moments. Into garden centres. Into seeing someone reach for petunias. Into the instinct to pick up an extra plant before remembering there is no longer a doorstep to place it on.

There is something profound about ancestral lineage and the threads that connect us through simple acts of care. Sometimes we inherit recipes. Sometimes stories. Sometimes gardening habits and the understanding that tending living things is its own form of prayer.

So instead, I spent the day with my horde.

We wandered amongst the camas flowers, meandered slowly, dug in the garden, laughed, got muddy, and bless them, they gifted me the coolest gargoyle ever, who has already been officially named Quido. Naturally.

And funnily enough, last year they gifted me a glorious Hansa Rose, which is hands down my favourite rose ever because the scent is utterly divine. This year she is blooming like an absolute fiend.

And honestly?

That feels like the energy of May itself.

Blooming. Softening. Rooting deeper. Opening anyway.

May brings us countless opportunities to pause long enough to stop and smell the roses.

And yes, I know that saying can sound a little cliché at first glance, but perhaps our souls desperately need exactly that right now.

To stop and smell the roses means intentionally slowing down. It means lifting your gaze from the doom-scrolling, the pressure, the endless to-do lists and noticing what is beautiful. What is nourishing. What makes you smile.

The sunlight through leaves.
Tea while still hot.
Birdsong at dawn.
Hands in the dirt.
A dog proudly bringing you a random bone while you garden.
The smell of roses drifting on warm air.

These moments may seem tiny, but they are not insignificant.

Scientifically, practices of presence and gratitude have been shown to increase satisfaction, emotional wellbeing and our overall sense of connection to life. But spiritually? I think they help us remember who we actually are beneath all the noise.

May offers grounding influences that feel deeply supportive to our minds, bodies and souls. This month encourages us to become intentional with our energy.

Not feeding what we fear. Not endlessly watering what drains us.

But instead consciously turning toward what we want more of.

More peace. More beauty.
More joy. More connection. More softness.
More truth.

And on May 16th we are gifted with the Taurus New Moon.

Now Taurus energy knows exactly how to stop and smell the roses. This New Moon brings in a lunar cycle that feels calmer, steadier and far more restorative than the chaos we have been collectively moving through.

This is not rushed energy. This is deliberate energy. Grounded energy. Long-term roots instead of frantic branches.

We are being invited to slow down enough to hear ourselves again.

To breathe deeper.
To move intentionally.
To choose what truly matters.

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

Gorgeous One, breathe, just breathe.

Allow yourself to simply BE for a moment. Let your mind soften. Let your breath slow. Let the energy of stopping to smell the roses wend its way gently through your spirit.

Then quietly ask your wise inner self: “What do I need to know this week?”

And when you are ready, choose the card — or cards — that tug at your heartstrings.

Don’t let your mind choose. Let your soul do the talking.

And if you feel called to go deeper, I have a glorious wee guided visualisation waiting for you as well. Don’t worry… you won’t need gardening gloves. 🌹

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

Your heart has been chosen by the Divine to be a temple for spiritual light, an inner place where grace and healing can dwell. This is very special. A temple is kept clean and pure, scented with sacred perfumes of incense, made beautiful with our feelings uncluttered and spacious so that as much spiritual presence as possible can enter.

When spirit enters and fills the temple of the heart, things of extraordinary beauty take place. Even the seemingly impossible becomes possible. Clear your heart temple with forgiveness, gratitude and love for the spirit, so it can fulfil its divine destiny of being a sacred channel for beautiful divine grace.

The mind may believe it has got the power to rule, but, in truth, the heart is queen. You are a true goddess of love, one who consults the heart for answers. You will courageously follow the guidance of the heart. Even when the mind doesn’t want to surrender to the call of the heart, and fearfully lists numerous reasons why it is crazy and stupid and will end badly, you know that the doubt of the mind is no match for the power of the heart.

Things don’t need to make sense to your mind or to anyone else, they just need to make sense to your heart. You are already a divine queen, your heart aflame with passionate purpose. Stay true to your heart’s wisdom and you will change the world!

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

In your heart, you have been asking for something different, something more, and the Universe is answering your prayers. You don’t need to be afraid of the changes happening, or that are going to happen, for you. They are part of that answer from the Universe! You might feel uncertain because you cannot see how it is going to all work out – but know that the Universe is caring for you, and will provide a way to move through the transition with grace.

You are not crazy to willingly enter this experience. There is nothing that you need avoid, and so much that you will gain.

Something is ending. Something that has meant a lot to you. Maybe it is a relationship, a phase of your life, and identity that no longer suits you. Maybe it is an inner ending that you can’t quite articulate, but you feel nonetheless. This is a symbolic death with a greater purpose.

The shaman is spiritually trained to overcome the fear of symbolic death and, instead of avoiding endings, to willingly go through them with the awareness that an ending is simply the other side of a beginning. The shaman learns that endings happen when something new wishes to be born.

Be patient with yourself, be kind, but also know that new life is happening for you now according to a higher purpose and loving plan. Your life is meant to change at this time. Be encouraged! From the ashes of this symbolic death, you shall rise again.

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

Finch Spirit Guide comes to you with guidance to care for yourself in a particular way. Finches can become beautifully coloured, but only when they eat foods that nourish them. They have the power of beauty within, but they need the correct nourishment to be able to transform that potential into expression.

You also have beautiful divine potential to shine your light and beauty in the world, but you must feed your soul what it needs to do this. Be respectful and loving to yourself as you choose what to take into your being – be it physical nourishment or emotional energy or even the kinds of books you read and entertainment you watch, for all has an impact on you.

Do you feel better for the experience? Does it nourish your soul?

The best growth-enhancing food for your soul is that which increases love. Finch Spirit Guide also brings a prediction of a celebration of happiness ahead of you – and wants you to know that your connection to the spiritual worlds is real, to trust in the messages you feel from the Universe as they make themselves known in your heart.

It’s a good time to experiment with how to best care for your mind, body and soul. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about finding what works best for you. You are in a phase of your life where giving back to yourself is important.

Perhaps you have been sharing a lot of yourself with others, have come through a challenging time or, in the near future, will be stepping up in a new way to share more creative energy and soul fire than ever before.

All that you need to know now is that it is the right time to take extra special care of you.

Woosah! Gorgeous guides for this week! Sending you massive hugs and squeezes, set your intentions under the Taurus New Moon, stop and smell the roses and ground yourself!

✨ When Fire Meets Bloom: Beltane & the Flower Supermoon on May 1st.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Whoot. Whoot.

On May 1st, Beltane arrives… and the Flower Supermoon rises — all within the same breath of sky.

And if you pause for just a moment, you can feel it… that hum beneath everything. That sense that something is shifting, quickening, asking to be lived more fully.

This is not a quiet doorway we are stepping through.

This is fire meeting bloom. This is desire meeting devotion.

This is the moment where everything you have been tending, dreaming, circling… begins to ask a little more of you.

The Flower Supermoon rises full and luminous, closer to the earth than usual, casting her glow in a way that feels almost intimate. She has a way of illuminating the places you’ve been avoiding, and equally, the places that are ready to open.

Emotions rise. Truth sharpens. Longings that you may have tucked neatly away suddenly feel very present, very alive.

She doesn’t whisper this time.

She pulls.

She reveals.

She asks, gently but firmly, “What are you ready to release… and what are you finally willing to claim?”

And just as she reaches her fullness, Beltane steps in — wild-haired and warm, carrying the scent of blossoms and woodsmoke.

Beltane is the fire festival. The celebration of aliveness itself. The earth is no longer waking — she is awake. Fully. Lush and fertile and unapologetically growing.

You can feel it in the lengthening days, in the blossoms that seem to appear overnight, in that restless energy in your own body that says, there is more here…

Beltane doesn’t ask you to be reasonable.

She asks you to be real.

To stop holding yourself back.
To stop waiting for the “right time.”
To stop playing small with the very life that is asking to move through you.

Traditionally, two great bonfires would be lit, and people would pass between them — a ritual of purification, protection, and blessing for the season ahead.

And while we may not be leaping between bonfires in our back gardens (though… no judgment if you are), the essence remains.

A single candle. A small flame. A moment of intention.

You might step over it. You might pass your hands through the smoke. Or you might simply sit, watching the flicker, letting it see you.

Let the fire take what no longer belongs to you. Let it burn through the doubt, the hesitation, the stories that have kept you smaller than you are.

And then… let it awaken what does belong.
Your desire. Your courage. Your willingness to choose yourself.

Because this is where it becomes something quite extraordinary.

Beltane fuels your fire — your passion, your longing, your creative spark.
And the Supermoon? She amplifies everything.

So the release may feel deeper.
The clarity may feel sharper.
The call forward may feel impossible to ignore.

This is not ordinary energy.

This is one of those rare moments where what you plant — through your thoughts, your rituals, your choices — doesn’t stay small. It takes root. It grows. It becomes.

Fire feeds the bloom.
The bloom fuels the fire.

And somewhere in the middle of all of that… is you.

At the same time, there is a quieter thread weaving its way through this intensity. We are in Taurus season, after all — grounded, sensual, steady — even as the full moon pulls from the deep, emotional waters of Scorpio.

So alongside the passion and the expansion, there is an invitation to come back to your body. To your breath. To your own care. To nourish yourself.

Not as a luxury. Not as something you get to after everything else is done.
But as something essential.

How can you fill your own cup right now?
How can you tend to yourself in the way you’ve been longing to be tended to?

There is power in that kind of devotion. Especially if you’ve been looking outward for it.

This moon, this fire, this moment… they all bring you back home.

If you feel the pull to go a little deeper, to sit with yourself in the glow of candlelight and truth, let your journal hold you for a while.

Let yourself wonder what you are ready to release under this full moon. Let yourself imagine what full bloom actually looks like for you — not the polite version, but the honest one. Notice where you may have been playing small, and gently ask why. Feel into what you are calling in for this Beltane season, and what might shift if you stopped waiting for permission to begin.

And don’t forget to honour what has already grown. There is so much that has unfolded since the last new moon that deserves to be seen, acknowledged, celebrated.

Gorgeous Soul… this is your moment.

Not to force. Not to strive. But to align.

To let the fire move you.
To let the moon guide you.
To let yourself be seen in your fullness.

And if you feel that little nudge — that whisper that says I want to go deeper into this — the Beautiful Beltane Booklet is there waiting for you.

A soft place to land.
A spark to work with.
A doorway into your own magick.

Because this? This is not the season to hold back.

🔥🌸 Whoot.

Now with all that chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading!

Take a moment to just slow it down, to come back to your gorgeous self and take a lovely breath. In your minds eye see yourself in your fullness, feel it into the tips of your toes. Breathe it in and then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

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.

CHENGUANG

I am Dragonfae, thus I am at once a being of copious laughter, and of earnest and deep study.

Being Dragonfae, I know when to put aside my serious work and my mission, and play, laugh and love. I know the importance of devoting myself to the playtime that balances, soothes and heals my heart, and lifts the heaviness that sometimes accompanies my days.

Can you do this? Or are you too caught up in being taken seriously? There is a perfect balance between serious, cosmic matters and playful light-heartedness to be found. Both Earth and star are necessary for all of us. We are indeed galactic beings ourselves.

But most of all, your hope and optimism is paramount right now. Take heart, for delight and joy is yours.

You are about to experience a true reversal in your inner self: you will now think magickally and attain mastery of magickal consciousness. What you think, what you are manifests about you at all times: what you are now is the delicious light-hearted magickal being you were born to be.

You are like a beautiful shining star; its light magically transforming everything it touches. Rays of light beam out from you and your body is awash with healing green energy and fresh new life.

You are dancing in the air, lifted up on the strength of your own experience and friendships, and you would do well to wear the divine colour violet, while the gentle zephyr helps your move in the direction of your dreams.

When we allow ourselves to shine we become who we were always meant to be; and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are.

Drop the heavy nature of punishment, guilt and beliefs that no longer serve you. You are a powerful role model for others; you have experienced the joy of setting your sights high and the healing power of self-belief. You still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy of the star is now your companion and your divine inspiration.

NIMUE

Between my two hands lies the power of all that is; the connections between the Earth and the stars, the realms through which you can move to bring about your deepest desires and dreams. But do you dare to dream it?

Are you courageous enough to declare your desire?

I can create, but I will not be brought forth when you do not have the fortitude to commit to your change. Make a commitment to thy own self now – she, who you truly are, is worth this trust, this pledge, this courage you must have to birth your own changing self.

For I am gentle, but I too have no more time to spend if you wish to waste the jewels life has given you. I will turn away, because it may not yet be your time. Only you can say it is not so, and walk forth into your new self, with me as guide and light, with transformation as your nature, with your incarnation without material death as your truth.

Do this with me: Bless thyself. Love thyself. Know that you are beyond your own imaginings. Act this day, this hour, this minute, and change will flow. Do not hesitate. Be transformed now!

It is time for you to free yourself from the confines of others’ expectations and investigate other less conventional ways of making a living. You may be drawn to a particular crystal at this time, and may enjoy simply entering into more regular communion with the element of earth and its minerals.

Wear jewellery that has been cleansed by you, and energised by you, and understand its significance and power for you. Make each piece you choose to wear a totem symbolising your own self, adorning and expressing who you truly are.

Above all, the message of Nimue is to free yourself. Stop expecting others to unshackle the chains and force you to walk free. You, and only you, can remove that which is holding you back.

Woosah! Perfect guides for this gorgeous potent energy of Beltane and the Superflower Moon. Wishing you a glorious Beltane, bask in your inner fire, let this energy fill you up and nourish you. Big Blessings.

Feet on the Earth, Heart on Fire: Taurus Season Meets Beltane Magick!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul

I have been hitting the “Pause and Reflect” button a few times since Spring Equinox, as I assimilate the chaos that has been happening globally and in the collective.

Which is why I have been working “Rooted” in my own life to fully embody it. Hence why there hasn’t always been a weekly reading.

But we will chat about that next week.

Yesterday , on April 19th we entered the sign of Taurus where we will hang out until May 20/21st. It’s at this point that energy slows, and we begin feeling our feet land on the ground after the hot and fiery energy of Aries.

What does the Taurus energy want you to remember and remind yourself of daily?

“You are worthy; you were born worthy; you need nothing outside of yourself to claim or own just how worthy you truly are.”

Taurus Season is our time in the year to slow down, consolidate our schedule, and think about what we wish to really dedicate our time to.

While Aries Season inspires our impulses and passions, Taurus Season wants us to look at our long-term goals and hone in on what we really want to dedicate our time to.

So what do you want this year?

On May 1st we have Beltane! So let me wish you an early Happy Beltane!!

And to help you tap into these expansive energies (and to have some fun), I have created the Beautiful Beltane Book for you.

I call it a booklet, but it’s 23 pages packed with rituals, suggestions, journal prompts, spells and more! And to celebrate this magickal day it is my gift to you for only $9.

Now if rituals, lore, magick and spells aren’t your gig and you just want something simple – I have 5 Questions to Ask Yourself on Beltane.

Beltane is the cross-quarter day that marks the midpoint in Spring. We are now half way between the Spring Equinox & the Summer Solstice.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active.

All of life is bursting with potent fertility, look at the trees around you – (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), they are bursting forth with bright green leaves and the little sparrows are back as well as the robins. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme.

In the middle of the season there is a clear difference in the energy compared to the beginning of the season. You can see evidence that the wheel has shifted. The days are noticeably longer – the sun sets much later than it did at the Spring Equinox. It’s grown considerably warmer outside.

At the Spring Equinox new life was just beginning to emerge. But here, as we start to approach the beginning of May, there is no denying that the Earth has been reborn.

Beltane is a time to celebrate all the pleasures in being alive.

The Goddess has reached her fullness and is the manifestation of growth and renewal and shows up as the May Queen, Flora, the Goddess of Spring. The God emerges as the Young Oak, May King or as Jack in the Green.

They fall in love, the union is consummated and the May Queen becomes pregnant.

Together the May Queen and the May King are symbols of the Sacred Marriage, the union of Earth and Sky. If you have ever read “The Mists of Avalon” you will know what I am talking about.

This is the night of the Greenwood Marriage. It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. And about conception.

A brilliant moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. And have some fun!

And like Samhain, this is when the veil is thinnest between our world and the Fae, so leave a wee giftie out for those ancient magickal ones.

Okay, that was a lot, so let’s crack on with the reading.

I laughed when I saw the guides, as I mentioned the veil is thin between us and the Fae and so the Fae decided to show up. (You seriously can’t make this shit up).

Do I need to introduce you to them?

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth. There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms. All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us. We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent. These wonderful beings are here to help.

Okay dear one, take a moment.

It’s so easy to just pick a random card with no intention, but what if you allowed yourself that moment of intention? What if you dropped into your body, breathed into the tight places and just paused? Let that quiet and stillness soothe you, calm your mind and break up your day.

Then from that place, on this day, ask your wise inner self – what do you need to hear this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

Always

Infinity

Let’s talk about Infinity, shall we?

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been….and always will be. You are part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe. Your spirit and your soul are immortal.

As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.

Your connection to Divine Spirit is never severed. You are never alone. You are always connected to the Source. You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.

Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan.

First, always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not. Those you thought were true were not.

Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship, with yourself first, then someone else. And always with the Divine. .

Remember the elementals that are helping you along the way. Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

Fire Dance

Fire Energy

The Fire Dance represents the dance of life, for it is the giving of life, which is the function of the Kundalini energy force (also known as serpent energy).

It is through this energy that life and creation are achieved.

The Kundalini energy is a mighty force that should be allowed to awaken at its own natural pace. It will naturally open as you become more loving and more conscious of your own divinity and connection to Spirit!

Fire energy that is awakened too soon is at risk of misdirection. It is wiser to study, read and work on your own spiritual understanding. This will gently let the fire energy rise. Balance is very important in this energy system and promotes well being on all levels.

This energy is in constant use daily in conjunction with all of your energy systems, which all work together.

If you have been feeling low in energy be sure to review your eating, exercise, and sleep habits. Take good care of yourself and make a “releasing of worries” statement to yourself and the Universe.

A delicious and easy way to help your energy systems stay in top running order, is to sit in a quiet, comfortable place and close your eyes. Slowly imagine breathing in and out each colour of the chakra system…start with red and move to orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Imagine breathing in a beautiful mist of each colour.

Breathe each colour until it feels integrated within your body and then move to the next. Soon you will feel more balanced and energised!

Trespassers

Boundaries

Fairies have boundaries, in case you didn’t know.

They are usually in the form of magical spells placed around sacred places in order to keep out those who might tamper with their sacred objects. They also have an invisible magic boundary around their realm.

It is not easy to break through this boundary but it can be done when one knows the secret words!

Are you having trouble respecting the boundaries of others? Is someone not respecting your boundaries?

A third question is, “what kinds of boundaries or limits am I placing upon myself?”

These are questions to ask yourself in order to discover which area of your life you need to work on. You cannot expect others to respect your boundaries if you are not clear with them yourself.

You must state clearly and honestly to others about where you draw your lines. Be kind but clear about your expectations.

In turn, be respectful of others’ boundaries also.

Their business is their own.

With regards to the boundaries that we place upon ourselves; we often set these limitations on ourselves due to lack of confidence, self-respect, or even lack of knowledge.

Release any unwarranted restrictions that you have assumed.

Release limiting habits and thought patterns.

The dragon at your gate can either protect you or hinder you. What will you ask it to do?

Woosah! Be gentle with yourself but also push against the electric fence of your comfort zone. Remember You Are Worthy!

Big hugs and bouquets of flowers.

✨ Between the Waterfall and the Flame ✨

(How not to white knuckle April!)

Gorgeous Soul,

How was your Easter (if that’s something you celebrate)?

Mine was delicious… full of play, laughter, family, friends—and ohhhh, that deeply satisfying hands in the dirt time. Truly, you should see my nails… a gardener’s badge of honour if ever there was one.

Now… let’s talk about what’s really moving.

April has arrived with a kind of presence that doesn’t tiptoe in. She’s bold. A little intense. And if you’re anything like me—or the beautiful souls I’ve been hearing from—you’re feeling that sense of bigness that just keeps rolling through.

Big things in the world. Big emotions. Big shifts. One after another, like wave after wave, with barely a moment to catch your breath.

And here’s the thing that’s been landing for me…

It’s not that something is wrong.
It’s that this is part of the time we are living in.

So the invitation this month isn’t to grip tighter, brace harder, or try to out-muscle the intensity. It’s actually something far more powerful, and perhaps a little counterintuitive.

It’s to learn how to be in relationship with it.

Not just in your mind, not just spiritually—but in your body. In your soma. In the places where you unconsciously tighten, hold, and brace when life gets big.

Because Gorgeous Soul, when we do that—when we clamp down in response to intensity—we don’t just hold back what’s coming in… we also restrict our own life force. We squeeze off the very energy that wants to move through us, support us, and even expand us.

Think of a waterfall. Relentless. Powerful. Always moving. It doesn’t stop. It doesn’t negotiate. It simply flows.

And instead of trying to fight it, or getting swept under by it… I saw someone leaning back into it. Letting it pour over their shoulders, almost like a massage. Letting the intensity work with them rather than against them. Can you feel that?

This is the medicine of April.

Learning that you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through intensity. That you can soften your body, release the gripping, and allow yourself to stay open—even as big things move through your life and the world.

And here’s the real magic…

When you do that, you don’t become less present. You become more present. More resourced. More able to meet what’s here without collapsing or shutting down.

And yes… even to cultivate joy in the midst of it.

Not as a bypass. Not as pretending everything is fine. But as a grounded, embodied choice that says, I am still here. I am still alive. I am still allowed to feel joy.

Now… as if that wasn’t enough, we are also moving toward the Aries New Moon on April 17.

And ohhhh… this one carries some fire.

It feels like a threshold. A turning point. A moment where something new is being seeded—not just personally, but collectively. Like the ground beneath us is shifting and making way for a new path to emerge.

But before that newness fully arrives, there can be endings. Closures. Old ways dissolving. You may feel it in your own life, and you may see it playing out on the world stage as well.

It can feel a little intense. Maybe even a little ominous at times.

And yet… the more you can soften, surrender, and stay open to change, the more supported you will feel by these energies rather than knocked sideways by them.

Because this New Moon is fiery.

There is so much fire in the sky right now, and fire—when it’s balanced—brings passion, movement, confidence, and that delicious sense of let’s go.

But when it has nowhere to go… it can feel overwhelming. Agitating. Like you’re buzzing from the inside out. So this is your gentle nudge (okay, maybe a loving nudge with a bit of sass):

Move.

Let your body be part of this. Walk, dance, stretch, shake it out. Let the energy move through you so it doesn’t get stuck and start causing chaos inside.

And then… direct it.

This is potent energy for new beginnings. For setting intentions. For choosing, with clarity and courage, what you want to call into your life.

Write it down. Speak it. Claim it.

There is something here that wants to grow.

And woven into all of this… is the presence of Chiron. The wounded healer. Which means this isn’t just about starting fresh—it’s about healing as you do.

Old wounds may rise. Tender places. Those deep, soul-level imprints around not feeling loved, not feeling enough, not feeling like you belong. The ones that don’t just disappear, but shape how you move through the world.

And while that might sound heavy… there is something incredibly powerful here.

Because the same fire that brings things to the surface… can also transform them.

It can alchemize.

So you might find yourself gently, quietly asking…

What if I am loved?
What if I do belong?
What if I am already enough for the life I desire?

You don’t have to have the answers all at once.
You don’t even have to fully believe it yet.

Just be willing to lean in. Because this New Moon is offering you more self-love. More truth. More of you. So here we are, Gorgeous Soul… Standing between the waterfall and the flame.

Learning how to soften without losing our strength.
Learning how to move without burning out.
Learning how to meet intensity without gripping so tightly that we forget who we are.

Let the water teach you how to flow.
Let the fire remind you how to rise.

And trust… deeply… the bigness within you. Because you were never meant to be small in a world like this.

Okay, enough chuntering let’s crack on with the reading, yes?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come play I laughed.

The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep. They think outside the box and invite you to do the same.

Okay dear one, let’s get grounded and present. Take a glorious deep breath and I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the waterfall. Hear the water cascading down, feel the spray hit your face and take a deep breath in.

If you want to go deeper into this I have a glorious guided visualisation to help and support you.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your soul strings.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RA! RA! RA!

Have you had enough of the dark side of life? Fear, doubt, uncertainty, anxiety, frustration and believing that you cannot manifest your dreams are signs you’ve been in the darkness for too long. It’s your time to step out of the darkness and into the light.

It takes a lot of courage to leave darkness behind and embrace the light. To step into the light means that you give up attachment to drama, the stories of suffering and the pain of the past. You don’t deny your struggles or your pain, but you know it is possible to let it go in favour of trust, reassurance, comfort and commitment to what holds meaning for you, again and again and again, for as often as needs be until you are free.

Sometimes the courage of stepping into the light means a willingness to set aside the mental anguish and say, “Today I just choose to trust that everything is going to work out according to a higher and unconditionally-loving divine plan that has my best interests at heart.” It means that you acknowledge what you have gone through without needing to keep score. It means that you are willing to pay more attention to what is happening in this moment, and to believe wholeheartedly that the universe is working with you and for you, not against you.

Like the sun cracking through the night to bring the dawn of a new day, this is your divine wake-up call. Your dark days are numbered and your time in the divine spotlight is upon you. Be willing to shine your light, even if no-one else around you seems to understand, acknowledge or recognise it at first, or even for a long time!

You are brave enough to shine true with or without others holding your hand and encouraging you. Maybe others need to find their way to you, so they can help you or be helped by your light. For that to happen, you are going to need to stand in the dark and shine with trust, patience and courage.

If you’ve been in the dark, so to speak, for a while, you might find it hard to trust in the light at first. You might worry that the goodness won’t last and that it’s better to be pessimistic now than disappointed later. Those are tricks of darkness. Don’t believe in them.

Trust in the power of light within you and don’t be afraid to let it shine bright.

GYPSY COLOMBINE

The free spirit in you is rewilding itself, shedding social conditioning and past patterns of behaviour. It is shaking off socialisation and emerging anew like a snake shedding a skin.

The wild one within isn’t a save. It is raw, yes, but also wise, authentic, beautiful and with a deep instinctive knowing as to what you must be.

Can a bird ever be truly happy whilst trying to be a fish? True freedom is to be truthfully yourself.

Politeness and people-pleasing, not out of respect but out of fear you will otherwise be rejected, is a form of social conditioning that dulls the wild one within.

If you reject that conditioning in favour of rewilding, of getting in touch with your true instincts and nature, you will exchange lukewarm tolerance from others for their passionate admiration and love.

And for those that cannot love you, that are afraid of how much life is in you, then let them be. They do not belong in your world, nor you in theirs.

The jungle of life is a vibrant, colourful and exciting place, but not everyone is ready to live there as yet. That is just the way of things sometimes.

It’s now time to let yourself off the hook, to forgive and forget, to allow what’s been to have been and to start again. No regrets. No fear. No doubt.

It’s time to heed the call of the wild and ask yourself, “What would set my spirit free?”

LADY LUCK

Lady Luck is on your side. A change of fortune is in store for you, a twist of fate that is meant to be. You’re a winner baby! You are about to hit the jackpot.

Do you think that luck is something that only happens to other, luckier people? Your attitude can attract luck to your side, no matter if you once thought you were the unluckiest person alive!

Luck is attracted to a certain type of consciousness, an attitude, a belief that life wants to help you, and has the infinite power and creative imagination to do that in endless ways. Attracting luck means being open to the genius of life, which works itself out perfectly, bringing benefits to us again and again, even if we have no clue how, where or why it operates the way it does.

You are being given a golden ticket, a lucky break, a change in fortune that was always meant to be for you, that was in your stars. You can turn this lucky break into a lucky streak that stays with you for a long, long time, or even forever, with your attitude, your belief in the goodness of life and the generosity of your spirit.

Feel the thrill, the gratitude, the joy of being a winner, and thank the universe for it daily! Luck will visit you soon and it will love being around you so much, it will decide to stay.

Woosah! What delicious guides for the energies right now, yes? No need to white knuckle, but move your gorgeous body, weave with these energies and flow with ease and grace – whilst being fiery! Big hugs and squeezes.
