Yup, Mercury is Retrograde and with November – the Energy has Shifted! Buckle up Baby, We’re Going Deep!

Happy Miraculous, Misty, Magickal, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday delicious lovely! How was your Samhain/Halloween? I will confess, I was left unsupervised with a box of those cute little mini aero bars and kit kats – what can I say? I blame it on not enough Trick or Treaters! Yup, there was only half a box left and I did feel rather sick! (But they were sooo cute and delicious!) However, I did take the time to make an offering to my Ancestors and to walk with the thin veil, it was amazing.

Okay, let’s get down to the Nitty Gritty. Mercury Retrograde and Energy Shift.

Now I know some of you the minute you hear the words “Mercury Retrograde” want to run and hide under a blankie in the closet. Totally get it. Personally it impacted me the minute it shifted by reading submissions not coming through, laptops acting up and my cell phone freezing at the most inopportune moments. Sigh. Breathe, Woosah!

So as we know Mercury is the planet of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, rationality and reasoning, and adaptability and variability. So yes we can sometimes get a tad lost and a bit like Chicken Little running around saying “Mercury is retrograde, Mercury is retrograde!”

But I love what Chani shares about Mercury retrograde:- “Mercury’s retrograde is as much of an underworld journey as Samhain. Traditionally known as a psychopomp, Mercury ushers us into the liminal space between the past and present, reason and intuition, the material and spiritual. Traditionally, a psychopomp is a spirit guide that helps souls transition from the living world to the afterlife. A spirit that guides us on our journey from the known to the unknown, Mercury helps to bridge to gap between the conscious mind to the unconscious realms.

In Scorpio, this Mercury retrograde runs deep, the pieces of the past that this transit is sure to exhume will be startling, but necessary. Because Mercury’s retrograde also asks us to reflect on the past, retrieving aspects of ourselves and the energy that got stuck there, there is a double emphasis on connecting the present to our roots. Helping us unlock our minds from the this/that, here/there paradigms we get stuck in, this Mercury retrograde is able to help us connect with an ancestor, an aspect of self, or an email long-lost in our inbox. Whatever it brings back to you, this Mercury retrograde is sure to resurface the perfect piece of information at exactly the right time.”

So are you willing to play with that exploration?

Okay, so we have unpacked this Mercury Retrograde, now let’s unpack the Energy Shift – whoot! Whoot! Now if you remember this is the Shamanic look at the energy for the month, so for example September was – Commitment, October was – Re-Writing the Story and now for November (drum roll please……………..) The Energy is inviting you to look and work with Proactive Change! So what the heck does that mean you might be asking? Fair enough, please let Lena explain it:- “The focus is on how we can show up from a place of inner choice that is ours alone and free of outside influences, pressures and imprinting.

It is indeed a time to stop complaining about how difficult and challenging the last few weeks have been, and get a bit ruthless about what you intend to change. This is not a passive time. Even the climate that promotes self-observation and emotional reset is an active one as it demands a choice and a direction at the end. Being proactive means choosing change, choosing to say yes or no, choosing to receive, choosing your attitude for the day, choosing acceptance of what is not yours to change, and choosing to be creative and expressive from something inside of you, your unique and personal signature, instead of an outside influence or pressure.

One of the enemies of proactive change is procrastination. When you procrastinate you do so out of resistance to being proactive. The more you procrastinate the more vulnerable you are to the passive state that allows for a less than desirable outcome. So, if you are procrastinating a task, a communication or a decision, don’t wait. Do it now or release it for good.”…….

To read more you can find it here.

So let’s look at this as a package. We have had Samhain which is celebrating our ancestors, looking back and asking for help. On that exact day Mercury went retrograde and invited us to do our inner work and now we have the invitation to really be Proactive about the Change that we want to create and manifest in our lives. (Are you paying attention?????)

For me, personally, this time between Samhain and Winter Solstice is an introspective time, a sorting/sifting time, a time to really do the work and snuggle up as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder. A time to unpack and release the dross that no longer serves and to create a space for something new and nourishing. Are you willing to play with it? Yes, this is deep work, yes there are soooooo many distractions that look far more sparkly, shiny and interesting. But what if you gave yourself 20 minutes a day to do something quiet, deep, introspective, how would that feel? If you do the math between now and Winter Solstice you would have made space and time for 17 hours of deep introspective, exploratory, discovery time! Wowzer! Talk about Proactive Change!

Just saying…..

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on – you have enough to perk and play with for the moment!

When I asked the cards who wanted to be your guides this week the glorious Isis Oracle were adamant to come and be front and centre. This is quite interesting as normally Isis doesn’t participate in “public readings”. It’s also rather ironic based on what we have just been exploring.

Have you ever asked who Isis is? Goddess of the Skies, Magick and Wisdom are just a few of the titles she is given. Let me take a moment to introduce you to this lovely deck – “You are a powerful Soul and you are awakening. Your thoughts, feelings and inner world is changing, and so too is your outer world. When a Soul is growing in power and strength, it can benefit from guidance to help make the path into a new way of being in the world that much easier. Isis offers Her wisdom and guidance to you to assist you at this time of spiritual growth and transition. She loves you, and wants you to shine and be your radiant self, filled with power and wisdom.”

The crystals that wiggled and woggled to come and support are:- Blue Apatite – Increase your appetite for life! This lovely crystal helps to clear away the fog because it reminds us that what lies before and behind are of little consequence. It’s the energy that lies within that holds the key to eternal happiness. Emerald – help you open the heart to receive love in all aspects of life. The emerald meaning encourages you to give love to others as well as receive their love, enhance your own self-love and strengthen your connection with divine love. And last but not least, Peacock Ore – surrounds you with light to inspire positivity. It is a stone of creativity, innovation and blessings that helps to increase creative energies and stimulate new ideas.

There are also some heavenly scented flowers that are blooming on a gorgeous unknown to me tree!

Ready? I invite you to just BE for a few moments, just BE and BREATHE. Wiggle your fingers and toes, look at your hands and bring yourself to this moment, this present moment. As you breathe let the image of a warm, dark, cosy space flood up in your mind’s eye. In this space you nurture yourself, you are held, you are safe. In this space you can connect with something bigger than yourself and proactively make amazing changes in your life. Breathe that in; let it just float with no attachment to it. With this floating inside you allow it to pick the card or cards that want to share with you this week. So it is.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what guidance Isis would like to share shall we?

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Effect in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent on the Path of Ancient Feminine Power we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice. Sacred practice become the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness. Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention. Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth. We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it. The desire and the discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life. Sacred Practice is such a channel. Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all! The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life. Ritual and Magick, as a form of sacred practice, are recommended for you as a way to bring more spiritual presence into your waking life, to heal and support the ego as you learn to create a life that feels better and brings you and others more fulfilment.

PORTAL OF LIGHT

It is only this physical reality that is bound by time and space. You are a being conscious on levels beyond the physical world. You are guided to work with your healing powers beyond the confines of time and space and to allow your sense of Self to expand. It is safe for you to do this now. You will not become ungrounded through such spiritual growth. You are not leaving your earthly awareness, you are instead adding to it.

You are growing in power and awareness. You have had breakthrough insights where you realise that you are not who you thought you were, you are in fact a much vaster being. Sometimes this was shocking and uncomfortable, and difficult to accept. At other times it was gentle and made much sense to you. You are learning to integrate this awareness of your vast Self into your life. The practical consequences of doing so are extraordinary – to live with less and less fear and insecurity, to become more detached and more passionate, more loving and less demanding, to need less and receive more, to feel more joy and exert less force to attain it…..Such wonderful gifts await you!

Isis guides you to powers and abilities to heal that are beyond time and space. It starts with the realisation that what has happened in the past has power over you only to the extent that you allow it. The portal of light is being opened to you now to travel through time and space to release the past, to open up to a future bright and to call for more power in the present moment.

ANCIENT POWER MYSTERIES

The Rattle of Isis, the Sistrum, is playing in the hand of the goddess now. Can you sense it with your inner hearing? Its vibration reaches through your crown chakra and enters your body, initiating you into great ancient power mysteries of sound, creativity and healing. This is a time when words and music will become increasingly important on your spiritual path and healing journey.

When the Lady Isis initiates a beloved into Her Ancient Mysteries, life can become quite interesting! An Initiate of Isis does not just learn new ideas as a student, but is thrown into the experience of the mysteries in real day-to-day living so that they may be truly mastered in our lives and then utilised in service to help the lives of others too, so that one day, all beings will be healed and whole, according to the will of the Divine Feminine.

The Rattle of Isis initiates us into the mysteries of sound healing and creation through vibration. If we listen carefully with our inner ear, we can hear the sounds of the Universe alive. Remember, just as your body may naturally wish to dance when you hear a wonderful piece of music with your physical ears, so too when the inner ear of the Soul hears the cosmic tune of the Divine Mother urging growth, healing and greater joy, the Soul wishes to move and our lives change! Trust in the flow, work with your words to bring yourself into alignment with your Soul, remembering that the Soul resonates with love, bliss, abundance, peace, joy and connection with all that is. Focus on these kinds of energies and your words will help you align with your Soul and genuinely feel the peace beneath the changes you are experiencing in your life.

Have I said I love what I do? I love my guides, I love the cards, I love you. I love what I do! The cards that speak to this energy and invite you to go deeper in this cocoon, the crystals to support that. Wowzer! (Seriously I am grinning like a maniac – it’s not very attractive lol). Okay delicious lovely, a brief heads up. There will be no reading next week as it is Remembrance Day here, and I most certainly honour the people who had the passion to stand up and make a difference so that I can live in safety, in a democracy, in peace. I hope you have a glorious week, take time to go inward (it is quite delicious) and nourish yourself. Do something everyday that lights you up! Huge hugs and squeezes and see you in 2 weeks.

New Moon in Scorpio, November Energy Shift to Truth, Chaos & Mayhem and Candles!

Jenny Heston · 9:57 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Manifesting, Majestic, Major, Malleable, Matchless first Monday of November! How has your week been delicious one? How was Halloween/Samhain for you? I have so much I want to share with you about the New Moon, the Energy for November and all sorts of random deliciousness, thus this post might be a tad long. So let’s start with the energy of November.

Every month has a different energy or theme to it. If you remember October was:- Taking Inventory, and September was:- Restructure and Recalibrate. Well this month, November, has the interesting theme of TRUTH. As Lena Stevens shares:- “We focus on truth this month as an energy with the opportunity to tap into a greater and higher truth as well as to discover our own truth on many levels allowing us to speak and make choices from our own truth rather than a truth we don’t resonate with. You could witness great polarity as one person’s truth is never completely the same experience as another person’s truth. You will also see posturing around judgment masquerading as truth. If there was ever a month to “not take things personally”, this would be it.

We need to differentiate here between truth and beliefs. Truth is an energy that is experienced in the higher mind and the higher intellectual center. Beliefs are how the intellectual center or the mind processes information, giving that information a definition to more easily organize it for understanding life experiences and events. Beliefs are structured from patterns we came in with as well as our imprinting and what we choose to learn and believe over our lifetime.

Truth is an experience of inner knowing and requires trusting our intuition. Truth is often not able to be explained intellectually and has to do with instinctive and emotional reactions rather than anything we had the time to “think through”. We know when we have not listened to our inner truth that things can go badly – “If we had just listened to our intuition”.

To find out more about this energy and how it will show up for you this month on a more daily level, do please go over and check out what Lena has to share, she is quite amazing.

So there we have the shamanic energy imprint for November and if we look at the month of November from an Astrological point of view, it’s a chaotic, tumultuous energy month where a lot is happening all at once and this can lead to feeling off balance, out of kilter and a tad messed up. For November you can expect big changes, liberation from fear, awakenings, changes of fortune and chances to get lucky. Now why is it so tumultuous you may ask? Good question grasshopper. Well, Uranus is essentially moving backwards from the sign of Taurus to Aries, now in case you have forgotten, Uranus is the planet of chaos and change (getting the feeling now?) On top of that Jupiter is changing signs and moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius. We also will see a Mercury retrograde coming up and all sorts of various other aspects. So what the heck does this all mean? If you feel that you are caught up in the “Universal Washing Machine” and it all feels a bit out of control, then you are feeling the energy of it all. Now don’t fret because we have an invitation to look at the truth of it all for ourselves and to really welcome in big, true, positive change and liberation. A perfect time to do this would be the New Moon that happens on Wednesday.

Now this delicious New Moon is in Scorpio and she invites you to tune into the wisdom and love that resides inside your heart and soul. You are going to be encouraged to view things from the heart and to find love, compassion, and empathy not just towards others, but also towards yourself. Showing yourself love and compassion is the ultimate spiritual practice, and will help you to find your confidence, raise your vibration, and live a more fulfilling life. The benefits of self-love are really endless.

On this New Moon, really make it a point to be extra kind to yourself. Hold yourself close to your heart, and be gentle and loving in what you say and what you think. Even if negative thoughts creep in, try to remind yourself that you are on a journey of learning and growing, and there is no need for you to have a “perfect” life. So give yourself a little time on Wednesday to take this energy and plant your New Moon wishes.

So there we have it, a lot is unfolding this month my delicious lovely, but it’s all going to be really delicious (honest). I’ve already been feeling the shift in energy and the planetary movement as I have to say this has been a rather surreal week for me, kind of like dancing with the thin veil and actually giving myself permission to BE in that space for a few days and not get trapped in the DO space (although lots got done lol).

On Tuesday I was tapped, like tapped on every layer and level as I had been a tad negligent about recharging my batteries, so I stayed in bed for the morning (which was delicious) and literally had those dreams that feel like fever induced. Do you know what I mean? They are cool, but weird, but there’s a message, but their weird. Yes? Or is that just me? I decided to actually work the energy of the waning moon and she did not disappoint. Now, if you don’t know what that means, it’s all about creative, nourishing time, lucid dreaming time and getting ready to act when New Moon comes. When I finally surfaced I realised that energetically I had to clean and cleanse my house. So I mixed up some rosemary, geranium, lemon and lavender and created a place that felt good on all levels, then went to the ocean, picked a bunch of rocks and gridded the space with intention. (Now I know that may sound odd, but it really isn’t.)

I then lit a lovely fat candle and just sat for a bit and breathed in the shift and change, the peace and ease that now exuded into the space. As I sat looking at the lovely candle and it’s dancing flame on the mantelpiece it got me thinking about candles (as one does). I realised that I use candles daily. I use them in ritual, I light one every day in my home with the blessing “For home, hearth, health, harmony and happiness”. At birthday’s there are candles galore, on the cake, on the table – everywhere. When I receive news that literally brings me to my knees I will light a candle. When I am sending a blessing, a prayer or a bubble of healing energy – I will light a candle. Am I the only one in this? Do you light candles for all sorts of reasons?

For the whole of last week I played with the waning energy of the moon and allowed myself to just BE in that space of inward reflection, nurturing and cocoon like, it was fabulous! On the weekend my niece and were meant to go for a big explore, however, a close family friend who had been my niece’s surrogate gran had passed on Friday, so we decided maybe a huge explore in the rain is not the most nurturing thing we could do. Thus, guess what we did? We went to a glorious cathedral, you know the type with all the amazing stained glass windows and vaulted stone ceilings? The type where you push open the large, heavy wooden doors and there is a sense of hush and peace? As we walked in the air was so still and calm and we soon found banks and banks of candles waiting to be lit. Thus, we lit some candles, offered up blessings and then just sat quietly on a pew and let the whispers rise to the vaulted ceiling. It was quite lovely (but see what I mean about candles?) We then went for a big walk along the breakwater that juts out into the ocean and as we walked we were delighted to see that we were being accompanied by six swimming seals! They were quite magnificent and they swam alongside where we were for a good kilometer, quite awe inspiring. We ended up our little jaunt sitting in Murchies tea house with a large piece of cake each and great big mugs of pumpkin spice latte, reminiscing and sharing stories of the lovely woman and the different roles she had played in both of our lives. So all in all it was a really nice day of honouring, remembering, healing and moving with the energy as opposed to forcing something.

Okay, now I have chuntered on a tad too much, so let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that wiggled, jiggled and danced to come and support this week are The Lightworker Oracle. Now, if you have never worked with this deck, she is really quite divine. She is for anyone who wants to connect with divine light, accelerate their spiritual evolution and develop their connection with higher spiritual guidance. Yes? The crystals that literally danced their way out of there gorgeous resting spot are:- Brecciated Jasper, Rhyolite and Sodalite. Of course the autumn leaves needed to be involved as they wanted to provide you with a colourful backdrop. I did get an interesting download for a guided visualisation yesterday, thus, there is one if you feel inclined. Its quite an interesting one and I was thrilled to receive it. If not, just settle into your body and let your breathing gently slow down. Then with the the energy of Truth and the New Moon energy of love pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Ready?

Shall we go see?

TRUST IN THE PLAN

In preparation for radical growth, there can be temporary disorder and chaos. Whilst the mind may worry that something is going wrong, the spirit knows that this is a way for the old to disassemble so the new can be formed. Although you may feel out of control during such times, you do not need to resist the process. There is no need to attempt to impose your own sense of order upon the greater plan. You do not need to seek solutions, for there is no problem here in need of solving. What has been is being cleared away in preparation for the next chapter in your life. Have faith. All is well.

Do not fear. You may see the life you have known appears to be ending. You may find that the things you used to do or the way you used to think no longer seem as relevant as they once were. You may feel your relationships and friendships are changing. Some may even be ending. Perhaps you find you no longer have the energy or motivation to keep certain relationships going in your life.

However, your energy is meant to be withdrawing from what it once supported. This is not an abandonment or betrayal. It is not selfish. It is honest. When you trust in your spiritual growth, all that happens is love. That means that even an apparent loss always serves love, whether that is immediately obvious or not. It is sometimes necessary for both parties to become free to live their true destiny.

Life is a loving, creative journey for your soul. That means there will be times when the very thing you have worked towards needs to crumble, so that the next evolution of your soul manifestation upon the earth can take place. You are divinely scheduled to evolve at this point in your life. Can you sense an exciting growth phase happening for you? There is another way for you to live, to be, to thrive and love in this world, and you are rapidly heading towards it. This is a time to surrender control and allow a higher power to direct your course. Many exciting new opportunities, situations and connections will come into your life as a result of what you are experiencing now. It is all part of a greater divine intelligence unfolding in loving service to your own sacred life path. Trust in an unfolding higher plan. Know that all changes in your life serve your higher good.

WISDOM OF THE DIVINE FEMININE

Divine feminine wisdom empowers you to grow into your vision, your dreams and the fulfillment of your life purpose. Perhaps you envision a very different life for yourself to what you are experiencing now. This wisdom reminds you that you can experience even the most extraordinary dreams as reality if you willing to grow into what you desire, to become what you seek. Surrender any plans about how you can best manifest your dreams and, instead, allow life to guide and nourish you through your experiences each day. The Universe supports your divine destiny and is helping you become all you are meant to be.

When the wisdom of the Divine Feminine reaches for you, the message is clear: You are in a process of becoming more of heaven on earth. Sometimes, there are growing pains alongside the joy such growth brings. You may feel concerned, thinking your pain is an indication that you are failing in some way. You may judge your suffering as a sign that you are not operating at a “high enough” frequency.

When things are difficult or you are feeling doubt – when you feel the need to do something that scares you and challenges you at the depths of your being – you are experiencing growing pains. They will pass, and you will benefit from the growth. However, you need to know that, whilst this difficulty is in your life, the Divine is very much with you, encouraging you, believing in you so much that it will deliver a tough lesson. You can handle it for however long it needs to continue (and that won’t be forever).

The Divine Feminine speaks to you now and promises that if you are willing to show up to your life each day and trust in the circumstances before you, she will guide you into your most beautiful divine destiny. It is safe to trust her. She wants for you only the best and most beautiful life journey – one perfectly suited for all that you are and all that you can be. Your heart beats in perfect rhythm with the heart of love at the centre of our universe. Trust your heart, and trust life. All is progressing beautifully, as you are guided ever deeper into your divine fulfillment.

EARTH HEALING

You are making a real contribution to the planet through your spiritual journey. Remember this and believe that your needs will be generously met by the earth and the Universe. What you are doing matters, and you will be supported.

The earth recognises you. She sees you as a conduit through which she is fed higher frequencies of light, love and divine presence. This assists her on the journey of her own evolution. Earth is an exceptionally beautiful and powerful divine being in her own right. Yet she, like every other being, benefits from the assistance of higher frequencies, which offer a loving hand to help raise her vibration and continue her evolution.

You are here to have your spiritual life journey in a human body. Part of that process will involve sharing your light with the earth, itself. This may see you take on the role of a healer, guide, mentor or teacher to others on the path. It may see you doing work with the natural world, with various earth-centred causes such as conservation and animal-welfare, organic and biodynamic farming and ethical food production. It may involve an active prayer life that is ongoing through your day, praying for assistance, compassion, clearing and blessing when you see and accident on the road, an animal or person who seems to be suffering, or an item on the news that you know needs light and healing.

From the most obvious gestures to the more subtle, you are powerful enough to make a meaningful contribution to the quality of consciousness upon Earth. Earth asks you to do your work with quiet confidence and dedication. She gives thanks for all you have done and acknowledges her love for you. She will support you in your work by providing material means for you, whilst you are here on this planet. What you are doing matters. Yes, you are going to expand and grow in the work you are doing and the impact that you have in the world, because you are capable of that. Keep working, shining and growing, dear one. Your presence here is so needed and honoured.

Wowzer! Those were some very strong cards and I love the fact that the Divine Feminine came out (as she is part of the Moon energy and an aspect of the New Moon). How did you feel about your card/s? Well delicious one, wishing you amazing New Moon wishes, crunchy leaves and bowls of warm soup. Go light a candle and offer yourself and others a beautiful blessing and remember that you are perfectly wonderful and amazing just as you are! Huge hugs and squeezes! See you next week.

Can You Feel The Energy Changing? Weekly Reading August 28th.

Jenny Heston · 3:34 pm ·

Happy, happy glorious Monday and the last Monday of August (gulp!) How have you been? We have had some huge energy surrounding us in the last 2 weeks and I know some people have felt overwhelmed, anxious, edgy and just a tad out of sorts. However, that energy is quieting down somewhat now – but that doesn’t mean you have to jump up and start pushing for things. It’s more a time of taking Inspired Action.

Now what do I mean by inspired action? Action that is aligned with who you are, action that is connected to source, to you, to moving you in the direction that is in your highest and best good. (Trust me I can take action that is more like piling stuff on so I “feel” busy, but it is wasted energy). So for example, for myself with the massive energy that both eclipses very kindly let rip, and my body and mind responding with agitation and anxiety (as if you remember I said with two eclipses happening it is the time of anything that you haven’t let go of coming up full force and literally pole dancing in your living room!) One thing I know about myself is that when the energy is like that meditation and a project (which is like a moving meditation for me) are the way to sort through it all.

So I sat down and mapped out my son’s bedroom (that’s not as weird as it sounds). He was away in Ireland playing rugby and I needed a project so I gutted his room. Now I don’t mean the – I just took the dirty laundry out, made the bed type of thing. I mean – cut out drywall, mudded, taped, sanded, primed, painted, built shelves, built a closet organiser, a desk, put new baseboards in – that kind of thing. Why? Because I have those skills and know how to build from the ground up, also I wanted him to come home to something delicious that he would enjoy and it was inspired action and gave me a place to process, perk, purge and play with everything. Was it hard – hell yes! Was it worth it – hell yes! Did I feel better – hell yes!

As human beans we are gloriously complex and supremely simple. However, we are faceted and it’s important to pay attention to your mindset, your body, your emotions, your spirit (soul), your words and your actions. So whilst gutting and renovating I did a wonderful 5 day Blow Up Your BS Challenge with the very talented and skilled Kelly Ruta. If you want to get out of your own way and release the BS then Kelly most certainly holds the space, kicks your arse and helps you look at the stories that you are holding onto. I highly recommend checking her out for mindset work as she is great.

So with both of those boosts and the energy changing from the lazy hazy days of summer to kids back to school, last quarter of the year, the cooler mornings the earlier sunsets there is motivation and inspiration flying off the shelves! Which in turn for me has literally opened the door on creativity, joy, flow and really getting even more clear on who I am, how I show up, what lights me up, what I can release and how my business, family and life are going to look. So I have been mapping out Inspired Actions pertaining to my work, my self, my home and a myriad of other things. Thus, remember to not push, but to allow and then take the step.

Phew! Sorry went on a tad there! With all that being said let’s get down to the reading. But before we start I invite you to stop and stand still and drop into your heart and get clear – perhaps the question (if I can advise you) is – What inspired action can I take to……… whatever it is for you. Remember, no pushing, no controlling, just being in the place of willingness to listen to the message and take action.

The deck that wanted to come play this week is “The Divine Circus”. In a nutshell this is a deck for those who want to live a life of sacred subversion and creative confidence. Pretty appropriate with the theme being Inspired Action. The crystals that came to play are Emerald, Brecciated Jasper and Howlite.

Let’s take a moment, slowly breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Let your jaw relax, the muscles in your face, scalp and neck relax. Just breathe. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Ready to go see?

DARK HARLEQUIN

Bells are ringing from deep inside. Something that once had to hide is seeking your attention. It want out! It wants to be free! As you release what was once shut away, your discomfort shall turn to glee. You are a spiritual adventurer! You are not afraid to go to the edge of what you know, of who you have believed yourself to be. Even when before you there lies the darkness of unknown worlds, of undiscovered parts of you, even when you feel uncertainty, discomfort or doubt, you are still willing to figure out what it’s all about,

So you’ve come to a place in you, and in your life, where you don’t know. You don’t know what’s happening. You don’t know how to work through it. You don’t know who you are (well, not all of who you are). You don’t know what you don’t know. You are at the point of not knowing because you are growing. There will be surprises. There will be discoveries. You’ll feel awkward at times, like you are trying to see in the dark.

Don’t be afraid to let there be some inner rattling and rampaging. You are at a time when you are naturally diving into the darkness for a healing purpose. So ask the difficult questions. Do things you wouldn’t normally do. Experiment with thinking in ways you wouldn’t normally think. Be willing to let everything change for the better by first letting go of how things are now. The messier your inner world seems to be right now, the more you can expect complete and utter transformation as a new order comes into form. Expect the unexpected, for you were born to grow into what is happening now. It’s time to let the wild thing out!

THE VELVET QUEEN

A rare prize is to be bestowed upon you. The universe is confirming that the most luscious dreams of your heart are being nurtured into manifestation. To this end, you shall be given a saving grace, an intervention if needs be. To be open to receive, surrender doubt in favour of unconditional trust. Through your trust and optimism, you make it easier for the universe to give you a most deserved gift. A rare prize is worth the effort to attain it. Your efforts will need to include loving discipline. Loving discipline is not about trying to bend the world according to your will but rather about readying yourself to align with the spirit of what you want to receive.

To receive, rather than attempt to take by force, requires strength, trust, spiritual intelligence and courage. It is easier to try and force things from a fearful place, but it is more effective and empowering to learn how to attract and receive through consciously chosen surrender. This allows the universe to do its best work for you! So it’s time to change your consciousness. Release issues around self-worth. Why should you not be empowered and assisted by the universe to create a life that fills you with joy and feels ‘just right’ for you? Of course you should, can will be! Release any lack of self-worth that would get in the way of your opening in complete trust to the universe.

Your most prized dream is within reach, through a combination of letting life unfold as it will and your own disciplined efforts. Don’t give up. You cannot make the fruit on the tree grow faster – that will happen according to the rhythm of life – but you can certainly do your part to be ready to climb the tree at the right moment to savour the sweetness of success!

CONFETTI

You will soon have cause for celebration. Whether a big win or a token gain affirming that the best is yet to come, sweet success is headed your way. Prepare to celebrate! It’s time to find the celebratory spirit within. Maybe you already feel it, or maybe it’s the last thing in the world you can imagine feeling right now, but whether it’s on your radar or not, a cause for celebration is imminent.

It’s time to spend your energy in playfulness. If you want more success, happiness and celebration in your life, you can enhance that right now by being happy for the success of others around you. Do you know that success is like a wave? When you genuinely congratulate another and feel happy for their happiness, your own energy field gets a jolt of that same energy. You attract it into your own life. You deserve success for all you are and all you’ve accomplished just as much as anyone else.

So be happy for another – even if a part of you wonders if there is enough to go around, if maybe they have taken your piece of the pie, or if you wonder if their success is really served. Let such thoughts be without adding to their power for thinking such a way. Just take charge and choose how you want to respond. Be happy for them and be happy for you as the universe is giving you notice of a party – and you are most definitely meant to attend – and it’s heading your way.

So glorious one, I wish you a fabulous week. Remember to step back, take a moment and ask yourself – is this action I am taking aligned with who I am and what I believe. If not, in my world – if it’s not a Hell Yes! Then it’s a Hell No! I am hoping to take next Monday off as it is Labour Day weekend here, but we shall see if Spirit says a Hell Yes, or a Hell No! Drink water, be kind to yourself and get the heck outdoors whilst the weather is good. Oh yes, and if there is a project you have been wanting to do – either do it or release it.

Oh My Gosh it’s June! Weekly Reading June 5th.

Jenny Heston · 2:46 pm ·

Hello delicious one, Happy Monday and Holy hannah honey, it is already June! Gulp! This year feels like it is flying by, don’t get me wrong, I am exceptionally grateful we have sun, flowers are coming up and the whole garden is planted – which means glorious veggies soon and fun. But wow, we are nearly at Summer Solstice – almost half the way through the year. So I have to ask, (as this was asked of me) are you where you wanted to be by this time? Now this could be emotionally, spiritually, financially, physically, mentally or on a relationship basis, and if not, why not? When this was asked of me I had to sit and ponder a tad, for the most part I am where I wanted to be, sure there are a few things to tweak, but that’s normal as far as I am concerned. Yes? But I do feel it’s good to keep checking in with one’s goals, dreams and aspirations as often they can get waylaid by the busyness of life.

With June 1st appearing last week I realised that I have an inculcated habit of saying “white rabbits, white rabbits” every first of the month. This was something from childhood that seemed to stick, so I went and looked up why one does that. Apparently it is an old superstition that one say “white rabbits” as the first words on the first of the month and it promises a month of abundance, joy and keeps the weebly, wobbly things away. So to be honest, I still do it – isn’t it amazing how superstitions or rituals can stick with us? Is there something that you do that has stuck from childhood? (Eating ice cream doesn’t count!)

Okay darling one, let’s crack on with the reading. This week Sacred Rebels bounced up and down to come play, thus, they did. The crystals are Emerald, Brecciated Jasper and Pyrite.

So you ready? Take a moment, take a glorious deep breath in and tap into your intuition, your wise self and your inner guide. Invite love to flood through you bringing with it a willingness to receive and a clarity to learn and listen. When you have taken a few deep breaths pick the card or cards that are calling to you this week. So breathe and pick.

Shall we go have a little look see?

TRUST YOURSELF

You are wise. You know how to grow, even without knowing how you know. Like the ancient forests, spectacular galaxies and the acorn that becomes the oak, there is a natural intelligence for growth that is beyond logic and reason. It just happens.

You are growing. You really are. Don’t doubt it. Even if you don’t see it yet, remember that so much is happening when the seed is still unbroken in the ground. Below the earth, it is summoning up all the might, power and force it needs to push above the topsoil and burst up into the light. You are being asked to trust in yourself. You know how to grow. Don’t over think things, it won’t help you. Don’t worry so much, you are doing a great job in this game of life. When you trust yourself, you relax and you can heed your own wisdom, insight and messages much more clearly and easily.

You have a big destiny this lifetime and much to experience. Sometimes you make the error of judging something that is unpleasant as negative or a mistake. It isn’t. It’s just part of your great hunger for experience. It doesn’t mean you have to have a lot of it, but when you do, don’t shame yourself for it. Simply, let it be. Maybe it’s just fertiliser for your next step on the path! It’s all part of your life process and it’s all a sign of growth.

RELEASE THE DARK WOUND, LET LOVE LIVE

If we detach something from its source too soon, trying to force it to become what it is not yet ready or willing to become, we can unintentionally sap it of its strength and kill it.

There is a dark wound in the consciousness of humanity which demands perfection and denies process. If you have decided you are not good enough or worthy enough to succeed before you’ve given it everything you’ve got and asked for divine help, then this dark wound has you in its grasp. Let go of the death-grip of perfectionism and let yourself and your ideas live.

Love is abundant, creative and inspiring. It moves us so much more joyously and creatively than fear. Release the dark wounding of false belief. There are so many stories of vastly successful artists who very nearly binned the project that was the making of them and their career, because of the despair fostered by their own fear, anxiety and dark would. They doubted, they were uncertain. Was their work any good? They nearly lost it all to fear. Do not let this happen to you. It must be allowed to be what it is, and only time, love, patience and attention will reveal it.

COLLABORATIVE DREAMING

Your heart is big enough to dream not only for yourself, but for a new humanity. Imagine a world that is healed with respect, understanding and with community that fosters life. Even your dreams that relate to you alone will contribute positively to the greater good because that is the nature of your heart. Your heart naturally and intelligently co-operates in a grand scheme of loving creativity, working to heal the hearts of the world. The heart creates win-win situations that benefit the individual and the collective.

You are being asked to honour your growing desire to co-create with conscious, like-minded people. Your collaborative dreaming is a heart-inspired win-win, bringing mutual enhancement to yourself and others. Bear the rough patches that can happen when you work creatively with others. Ideas might clash and there can be friction, particularly if you have different ways of working.

Stay in your integrity, honour what you feel and remember why you chose to open up to group endeavours in the first place – especially if the group involvement becomes complex or challenging. Call on unconditional love each day and evening, it takes only a moment to do. Remember to hear your own voice. Others may or may not be able to receive it. When you hear your own voice you will be able to connect with your heart truths. You will know when it is right to remain in a group of when you need to withdraw in order to work with others who resonate at a more appropriate vibration and perhaps more in harmony with your own. You are no longer a lone wolf. Others are on the way to help you. There is only so much a single drop of water can do on its own, though it is precious. Together those drops can become a wave and make a considerable impact in the world.

I love how the cards unfolded this week, Trust, Love and Collaborate. Yummers! On that note delicious one, I wish you a glorious week. Remember it’s the Full Moon on Friday, June 9th. In fact this is a delicious Strawberry Mini Moon and a full moon in Sagittarius, but I will write more about that later this week. Have fun this week, practice looking for Joy and being open to receiving Miracles. I look forward to seeing you next Monday!
