It’s New Moon in Capricorn tomorrow! (I love New Moons) – Weekly Reading January 15th.

Happy Marvelous, Magical, Magnificent Monday! How are you? How has your week been? Have you decided what your Word of The Year is going to be. It has snowed, and snowed here for the last week, so my way of dealing with winter is to dose up on D3 and get outside and play – which ties in with my WOTY – Delight. So I had a glorious weekend of play, lots of skiing between the trees and alongside a river (which was deliciously magickal), sledding with the kids and hounds. Albeit I found out that my Akbash feels he needs to try and rescue me when I am whipping down a steep slope on my flying saucer by trying to grab onto me, or throw himself in front of me. It made for some interesting adventures!!

Yesterday I felt that a good cleaning of my home and an energetic cleanse had to happen. So I cranked up the music and went to work. I did the windows, had a little dance break, bopped around as I did all the laundry, then pretended to be a fairy as I dusted, vacuumed and searched out lurking dust bunnies that were trying to hide in the corners. I decided to lovingly polish all the wood furniture. As I was gently rubbing oil into my dining room table that I inherited from my parents, and it’s about 65 years old, I had a massive flashback to when I was little. Every Sunday one of my chores was to polish the same table and I loved making it gleam and I would scramble around underneath it to make sure all the legs were polished and shiny. So funny to see how that ritual has stayed with me as an adult (although I don’t tend to hide under the table anymore). When everything was all cleaned, sorted and glowing I then smudged the whole house setting new intentions for the energy of our home, trust me it makes a huge difference and with New Moon in Capricorn happening on Tuesday, it seemed like the most natural thing to do as New Moon is a glorious time to plant the seeds of something and to set intention.

At the time of this New Moon, there will be a lineup of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Pluto all in the sign of Capricorn. This rare alignment is known as a stellium. Having a line up of so many planets indicates that this New Moon is going to bring a lot of earthy Capricorn energy for all of us to play with.

This is the perfect time to take action in your life and begin making small, practical changes in order to bring more joy, abundance, love, success, and whatever other ways of being you would like to have more of in your life. While this is a great time to take action and express yourself outwards, there is also this energy pulling us to go deeper within ourselves and to really connect to that heart center.

The good thing about this Capricorn New Moon is that it has a lot of energy, which means that you can use this energy to serve you in any way that you need. Tune in to yourself and ask- “What is something I could use support with? What would I like this New Moon to bring into my life?”

Then set your intentions, plant your seeds for the future and what you want to grow and flourish in your garden and then give your wishes up to the night sky.

Thus, with all that being said let’s get on with this weeks reading. Now normally when I do these readings one deck bounces around calling loudly to be used. This week there were 3 decks and none of them were willing to back down, so for the first time this reading is done with a card from each deck. Also interesting to see was who else vied to come play and actually pushed the crystals out. Wood, A Sand Dollar and a glorious rock from a beach I found years ago. So think about it – we have 3 decks, wood, water and earth. Most interesting! (Love it when the Divine takes over).

So take a moment. Just stop and roll your shoulders up back and down and feel your shoulder blades fall down either side of your spine like glorious wings. As you breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth envision a golden light coming out of the bottom of your feet and down, down, down into the earth into the warm, brilliant lava centre and as you take another breath feel the energy of earth move up that golden cord – up, up, up through your body and out through the top of your head as a silver light reaching up and connecting you to the Divine. Keep breathing in this way and allow the light from the Divine to come down, through you and into the earth, then up from the earth, through you and into the Divine. Ahhhhh, you are a glorious conduit for connection. When you are ready, gently pull the energy back into your body, give your hands and feet a little shake and pick the card or cards that are calling to you.

Ready to go have a little look – see?

FAIRY OF THE DIVINE HAND

I am here to reveal to you what will tempt you. It is delightful, this thing you are being offered. And surely a little won’t hurt? I am Fairy of the Divine Hand, and I appear to you when you are blinded to what you must see. You know how it is….you start having a piece of candy, some soda, maybe a little junk food, then before long, you have more. It may be another habit, such as judging yourself or others way too harshly, thinking negatively, or giving up too early on exercise and good healthy practices, that you are indulging in. Gossip too, falls under my domain. While it can be wickedly delicious, it always leaves such a sour aftertaste.

Come and truly examine what is being offered to you. Underneath this apparently harmless fun, spending, partying, distraction, or giving up too early on exercise and good healthy practices, and temptation lie disorientation and fear, and things may appear to be quite different than how they truly are. But here……look and look closely. Do you begin to see what will take place if you continue down this path? Do you sugarcoat the possibilities of where this may end? Do not push down the feelings and warnings you have; instead come a little closer, and look.

Do you begin to understand that what seems such a small thing may indeed change lives? Take a moment. Look. Think. Connect with your deeper wisdom. Decide whether you will join in with what is tempting you, or whether you will watch a while longer and make the wise decision instead.

You know when this temptation comes that you do not need to flee, you do not need to indulge, you do not need to curse and berate this lovely, very earnest fairly with her clear message to stop, and truly look at what is taking place. You know you simply need to pause. Be quiet. Clear. And know now that one of your fiercest addictions is seeking you out, and you are wavering, caught in its delirium. This is not an opportunity to escape. This is your chance to break free!

RED COUNTESS

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

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

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying. If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload. You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

THE PENDRAGON

I am He who is the hunter, the sage, the father, the provider, the protector. I am he who watches over his people and does his best for his family. I am He: your brother, your father, your husband, your son. I am sheer powerful masculine energy and I am the lover of the Goddess of the Dragonfae. Together we create wholeness, apart we wander alone and are more easily wounded, even destroyed. I have a role: to care for others, to use my physical strength and to use my attributes to fight for those I love. And I will do that. I am King and Emperor and God…and I care for you. Do not fear me: I would not hesitate to sweep you into my arms and hold you.

I love you, but know that my role here takes me away many times from all the love and playfulness that still lives inside of me. Trust in my actions. See the truth and choose a partner who is in action a strong and caring manly man. Think of some of your positive experiences with men this lifetime: from moments with your father, to times when a man has acted honourably. Now, from those examples, begin to allow more of that version of masculine energy into your life.

Gradually, let’s change your ingrained and sometimes negative beliefs about men…and when Pendragon walks in, he demands that you treat the men he sends your way with respect and honour….just as he will treat you in return. You will notice that ignoble men no longer have a place in your life and that you are no longer attracting them. Indeed, Pendragon wonders why you would waste your time with people who do not behave in a noble fashion, and he does not want you to be involved with men who behave deceitfully, who are fearful of their own power, or who take advantage of members of their own family or their partners.

Holy Hannah, the cards had a lot to say this week about where we can get lost in our addictions, that we need to get quiet and allow our inner voice to speak to us and to celebrate and welcome in healthy masculine. How did that feel for you? Even more interesting to see that the three decks worked together and that the elements that came to play totally tied into the message of the cards! Sand Dollar representing water is Spirit and that’s what the card asked you to do. Love, love, love it. Anyhow gorgeous one, wishing you an amazing week – remember to take a bit of time tomorrow to set your intentions and seeds with this lovely New Moon. See you next week and remember – you are awesome and to smile (it looks really good on you). Huge hugs.

Happy 2018 – it’s going to be an amazing year! First reading of this New Year.

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magical, Mystical, Manifesting, Marvelous Monday! (How’s that for alliteration?) Gosh, it feels like yonks since I’ve nattered with you, but it has only been a couple of weeks and in that time we crammed in Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and all the hullabaloo of the holiday season. I will admit that I really felt that I needed a holiday from the holiday if that makes sense. Then on top of it the question that seems to be everywhere is “What are your New Year’s Resolutions?” Fuck that! (Pardon the language). I loathe that question and sometimes my inner rebellious teen flares to the surface and wants to give said questioning person a lecture on a different way to approach it. I work with a word, a word to guide me in all areas of my life, whether business, family, relationships, hobbies you name it. If you have never thought about this, you can find out how (it’s quite easy just takes some digging). My word for this year is DELIGHT.

Let me ask a question – have you noticed that when it snows heavily birds don’t fly? I mean I know that sounds obvious, but I really only noticed it yesterday. Yesterday morning I was feeling a bit antsy, so I donned my snow pants, loaded up the beasts and found a gorgeous place to go explore up the mountain. Thankfully I had taken snowshoes as the snow was waist deep, and so I strapped a flying saucer to my back (a form of circular sled that goes really, really fast!), and off we went. The snow was coming down quite thick and I’m chatting outloud to the Universe and said: “Okay Universe if this is what is meant to be, give me a sign – an Eagle or a big arsed Raven.” Nope, nothing, instead it was so silent with the snow falling all I could hear was the whoosh from my snowshoes and the sound of the snow landing on my coat. But not a bird in sight. Hmmmmm. After I had reached the Apex and sat in a snowbank for a while, I hopped onto the flying saucer and literally flew down the mountain, nearly running over the hounds who thought that the game was to try and rescue me by throwing themselves in front of me! When I got home I put an offering of peanuts, sunflower seeds etc out for the birds and the squirrels, nadda. Later in the day I was sitting outside watching the snow and it occured to me – I hadn’t asked the wrong question (as that was what I had allowed to creep in), I had just picked the wrong time. I had asked to see a bird when it was puking down with snow, and if the bird had any sense it was happily roosting on a branch or tucked in its nest, not flying around in a cloud.

Thus, it reminded me that if you are bold enough to ask for something and it doesn’t happen immediately, there is nothing wrong with the ask, it just might not be the right time, so ask again and again. (That was my little learn for the weekend). So with all that being said we have a gorgeous new deck that really wanted to be the first reading of this glorious New Year. The Lightworker Oracle Deck . I have played and explored with her over the holiday time and have to say, I like her a lot. This deck is for lightworkers and what I mean by that is old souls. Old souls have an interest in being of service. They want to live a life of passion and purpose and have their life mean something at a spiritual level. They care about causes that stir their hearts. They are often the black sheep of their family. Does this sound like you? I know it does for me. The crystals that came out loud and proud are Ruby Zoisite, Citrine and Kyanite.

So let’s just pause for a moment. Imagine that you are bundled up and standing in the snow, all you hear is the sound of the snow as it falls. Breathe into that space of silence, breathe in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. Keep breathing this way until you feel your shoulders start to relax, your belly become gorgeously soft and the breathe coming in an easier more effortless way. When your ready, take one last deep breath all the way down to your tippie toes and as you exhale pick the card, or cards that resonate for you.

Did you pick?

Shall we go see?

HOLD YOUR CENTRE

Have you been rushing out to meet others, trying to bend or accommodate their needs at the expense of your own well being and inner peace? Now you are to strengthen your own energy, your own boundaries, to find your ground, firmly place your feet there and do not move. Feel your feet anchoring you like a beautiful tree. Let yourself experience quiet certainty, as you hold your centre with commitment, courage and consciousness.

You are learning to trust your own instincts, to take your own journey without comparison to the life path of another. There is no need to become disheartened or distracted by comparison or judgements. The earth needs your light, which can only come from your. You will offer so much less if you try to make it match your beauty to what you perceive to be the beauty of another.

Many souls who are different and unique were not understood, acknowledged and valued for whom they were as children. Instead, they were encouraged to conform, to change, to be other than their true self in order to be loved. This can be a hard pattern to break. Yet the time is here for you to love and honour yourself as yourself. You are beautiful. You do not need to change for another. You certainly do not need to change for the Divine. You are being encouraged, instead, to distill your essense, to become even more of you. Hold your centre, now and do not be rattled by any other, through intimidation, confrontation, doubt, jealousy or fear. To “hold your centre” means you accept your innate value and worth, your right to exist and thrive and accept the love that created you as you in order to fulfil your divine destiny.

FAMILY OF LIGHT

The limits that much of humanity place upon their love – that they will love their own family, country, religion or community better than they love those on the outside – do not restrain your heart. You are capable of loving humanity, of loving all creation on Earth, as an extended spiritual family. You will love all as your own. You are meant to belong to a broader family of light.

While some souls have incarnated to learn about “us and them”, others have the purpose of teaching unconditional, all-embracing love. You are one of these. You have taken life to love the many, not just the few. For this life purpose to be anchored, issues in your biological family may keep you from bonding with them in a typical way. Perhaps you were the odd one out in your family, the one whom no one really understood. Perhaps you felt loved, but couldn’t live the way your family seemed comfortable to live. Maybe you lost family members through divorce, disease, depression and death – or through addiction of emotional immaturity that left you disconnected from key family members.

Whilst these bonds are necessary for many souls to experience their life lessons, the difficulty you may have experienced regarding them helped push you to become a child of love. You had to seek “family” in expansive ways, remaining open as you searched for love, rather than feeling satisfied by your immediate tribe and closed to those outside it. So it is time to ently undo the patterns of attempting to fit in. Instead, trust that you are exactly as you were meant to be. When you do, your magnetism will draw love and friendship from those who vibrate at similar level of consciousness to you. Leave past hurt and rejection behind. You no longer need them to grow.

Be brave. Pray to connect to your family of light, not only in spirit but also here on Earth. Let them in. Know that you belong here in spirit and in body, to be loved, held, touched, listened to and accepted, just as you are.

PARADIGM SHIFT

You are undergoing radical growth in your belief systems. Now is the time to challenge old attitudes and question previous expectations. You are in an extraordinary time. Great leaps forward can be made in a moment. The world you thought you knew can suddenly break open, and a new world can become your reality.

Buddhists sometimes speak of the “beginner’s mind” – that which assumes nothing and therefore is open to everything. Old souls can sometimes find it hard to recapture their “not knowingness”. Asking someone with a lot of life experience, who may have become a bit world-weary, to drop expectations and look at the world through fresh eyes can be challenging. Yet life becomes much more energising and interesting when you are open and don’t hold expectations about what will be. Suddenly, you are receptive to the Universe helping you in ways that, in the past, you did not believe possible – all because you kept an open mind.

If you are feeling that you don’t really know yourself, your relationships or your place in the world as you once did – if you are feeling that what you once held to be certain now seems to be a little shaky – these are signs that you are going through paradigm shift. This will bring you new perceptions that will free you to be in the world in new ways. You will find yourself shedding old limiting fears and misconceptions. You are stepping beyond what you have known . You are a bit like a traveller in a new city feeling awkward until she gets the “lay of the land”, and how things operate in that new place. As you trust the unexpected and unknown, the Universe will be able to help you in unexpected and previously unknown ways. Embrace the power you have to be a free thinker. Dare to think thoughts of love rather than lower your vibration by choosing thoughts of fear. Trust, for something helpful and empowering is happening in your soul.

Well that was a delicious reading and I believe a great way to kick off this year, and all the cards pointed in various ways back to one Source. You are love, you are light, you are perfectly perfect as you. Wishing you a glorious week and as always I love your comments, questions and insights. Stay warm and cosy, remember to smile and laugh and be gentle with yourself. You always have time! See you next week.

New Moon in Sagittarius and only 3 days to Winter Solstice!

Jenny Heston · 2:30 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Marvelous, Magical Monday!!! How are you? How are you doing with Solstice and Christmas quickly rushing in? I hope you are taking some time every day to just breathe, BE, laugh and play – it balances some of the crazy out! Today is the New Moon in Sagittarius and holy hannah what a delicious New Moon to work with prior to Solstice and Christmas. This New Moon has the energy of traits that ordinarily don’t surface till New Year’s Eve.

It brings awareness of time passing and chapters ending, even as it orients us to the future. It stirs optimism and possibility in the midst of somberness. And instead of resolutions, it encourages making concrete wishes that stand a very real chance of manifesting. At this New Moon there are 5 planets in the visionary sign of Sagittarius and it’s in the galactic center of our Universe. So Holy Hannah, please take a few moment to make some New Moon wishes! If you need a prod, this is it!

I shared with you last week how I was advised quite clearly by the gorgeous Universe, to help kids at Xmas and do a kind of Secret Santa thing and wow, I have been floored with the response. A lot of you stepped up with tinsel and bells on to the nth degree even though you don’t live in this community, and sent messages asking how you could help. Well let me tell you – drum roll please……….. 79 little people will have something awesome under the tree for them come Xmas morning and two families who really needed some help will have the full Xmas meal along with fun treats, pressies and grocery cards for after the holidays and last but not least blankets and warm coats are flowing in to give someone who is on the streets some warmth and succour! So for all of you near and far who participated, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have just made an amazing impact on over 130 people and wrapped them in a blanket of love and care! This makes me feel huge Joy and as we have worked with the tenets of Hope and Peace, this week we are going to work with Joy, okay?

What is Joy? Isn’t Joy just feeling Happy? Nope, gotta say, nope. Happiness comes from something external and Joy is an inside job. Joy is clearly aligned with freedom because the joyful human being experiences life’s fullness and nurturing. It is an internal state of being, one that emerges from a profound belief in the sacredness of life. It’s that glorious inner understanding that all things are held in the loving embrace of God and the angels (and don’t let the words trip you up), and that there is a meaningful explanation or learning that emerges that will ultimately benefit us all. I love, love, love feeling Joyful it’s the oxygen for my spirit or the heart warming warmth of a perfect cuppa tea (and I am very picky lol!) If you are feeling at all that Joy has left the building for whatever reason, I have your back and some tips to reconnect with that sense of Joy, right here.

Interestingly enough I thought a bit of a darker, edgier deck would pop out to come play – but the Oracle of the Dragonfae insisted, I think they strongly feel we need a little magic and warmth as we enter the shortest and darkest day of the year. The crystals that came to play are:- Red Snowflake Obsidian – it brings things to the surface and aids in seeing the patterns in life, Mookaite – a gorgeous crystal for the here and now and a crystal for the lower triad of chakras. Then we have – Bloodstone – a glorious healing stone used to cleanse and align the lower chakras and help connect back to heart.

Okay, with all that being said (I do tend to chunter on), stop, stand still, roll your shoulders up back and down in a languorous way. Feel your shoulder blades nestle down neck to your spine, gently stretch your neck and sway your torso from side to side and breathe. Just breathe. Breathe in that effervescent, safe energy of Joy and as you exhale send it to person, place or thing that you want to receive this energy (and of course it can be yourself). To help you really tap into that space of Joy there is a brief guided visualisation if you feel inclined.

Ready to pick?

Let’s go have a looksee, yes?

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 froth 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 tiem. 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 theyself. 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.

The Listener

How much have you missed because I could not have the space, the wild quiet, the blessed peace in which to whisper my secret straight to your soul? How much more could you be aware of if you simply took the time to be still and silent? The whole world can be heard in a moment….and now it is your time to be still, and to be silent. Listen and truly understand what it is you are hearing. Listen with your being, your entire being, not just your ears. Allow your senses to be the soul’s messengers. Sometimes we need to be quiet and listen. But first of all we need to be quiet. So many people talk so much of the time. And the talking and the talking and the filling up of space simply drowns out the messages. The dragonfae do not decry conversation and robust dialogue, the joyous clash of friends talking with each other, or the singing out of voices….especially when raised in joy, celebration, song and good cheer! But this card speaks of a time when it would be right for you to be still, and to listen, as the world whispers her secrets to you. We do not want to be making so much noise that we drown out our own signs and messages. So be still. Be silent. And be ready for the messages to come in sweet, subtle and magickal ways.

It’s time to remove yourself from the hustle and the bustle, from built-up urban and industrial areas, and go deep into nature and find the still pace of solitude in which the soul can speak – and be heard! Turn down the stress, the demands, the social whirl, the noise that can drown out meaning. In the words of Shakespeare, chatter is often “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” You would do well to seek the counsel of spirit in nature, to rest in a quiet grove within. Furthermore, when the soul speaks, listen, come into alignment and act from that space of integrity. The Listener does not feel the need to tell all about what she has heard. In fact, she is content to simply act, without broadcasting her moves, and to allow her dreams into being, to follow the guidance of her message without exhausting the energy of the message by talking it out.

She is silent and she seems still. But all of her actions are powerful and purposeful because they are born from a pure, still place of energy. Hers is the quiet glade and sudden, glad truth of the soul, and in these truths are great wisdom and delight.

The Time Guardian

The feelings you have, of time contracting and expanding, are real insights, not simply your imagination. Time is a living dimensional being, whose powers include the ability to devote more time to those of us who require it, and for time to speed up or slow down then it may be necessary, too. It is in this way that we are able to divine and travel through the threads and weavings of time, and move forward into seeing our future…in truth, we are already there. And much of who we truly are remains an echo. The time beings of the Dragonfae, of whom I am one, know this, and guard and protect you from confusion. Similarly, they can assist you when you require time to be created. If you feel you are short of time, send a thought message to me, the Guardian of Time, and I will send you all the help you need to meet your goals within the time you feel you have. Know that time is available to work for and with you; you need only tune into it as a dimensional reality, and connect with the time beings. Know that you are a timeless being. Know that you are dimensionally vast, that you are protected, cherished and loved.

If you work with time rather than trying to compartmentalise, control and define it, if we return to the lunar and solar and astronomical ways, if we celebrate the time changes apparent in nature all around us with the Wheel of the Year, then the time span we have will be richer and more joyful, our vocations will be discovered and we will no longer struggle to cram so much into our days. Because changing our perceptions is such a mammoth task, the Time Guardian is sometimes very tired, as the prevailing human mindset now is of time needing to be constrained and watched. He encourages us all to experience the natural flow of the energy we call time, and experience its multi-dimensionality. There is one simple way to work with him. Be in the present moment, more often.

Wow, that was a delicious reading! So gorgeous one I wish you a week of Joy, Hope and Peace. Here’s little prayer to remind you about Joy – “Dear Heavenly Teachers, allow me to believe in the rightness and goodness of life even when I see to much of the opposite. Permit me to bring love into the world even when my first response is to doubt love. Accept my life as as means of service to the Universe so that joy may bound on earth and within each living thing.” I also will write the word Joy on little pieces of paper and pop them in my wallet, makeup bag etc, just to remind me. With Solstice just around the corner I am going to send you all a lovely ritual on how to connect with this gorgeous energy as a thank you, so look for it in your email on Thursday. Stay warm and toasty, and there won’t be a reading for the next two weeks as I plan on having some lovely family time and finishing off my 2018 planning. But saying that, if the Divine says – yes – then yes it will be. Wishing you and yours a peaceful, hopeful, joyful and loving festive season.

Oh yes, for all those who have asked for private readings, we have had all sorts of technical difficulties with lovely mercury retrograde, so I just wanted to let you know, you haven’t been forgotten.

It’s time for Peace and juggling Mercury Retrograde! – Weekly Reading December 11th.

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy delicious, divine, marvelous magical Monday! How are you? How is Mercury Retrograde working for you this time round? Personally, my oven blew up, the printer stopped working, the power went out for hours and I had to get a new phone lolol. It so makes me chuckle as all of these things happened when I felt “stressed for time” and that “it had to be a certain way”, ahhh yes, well the glorious Divine had a different message such as – slow down, be present and remember to laugh, trust and breathe, feel the peace. Which I most certainly did (and laughed at it all as well). How was the last week for you – working with the tenet of Hope? This week we are working with the energy of Peace.

The other day I noticed a sign in town that was counting the days down to Xmas – it read something like “Only 18 more shopping days until Xmas.” Really? That’s what Xmas is about, shopping? Hmmm, didn’t work for me and I was a tad grumpy that there was no sign that said “Only 14 days left to Solstice and then the days start getting longer!” Ah well, we each do it our own way, but I have noticed people getting more tense, shorter fused and most certainly not smiling as much and that to me is not celebration, that feels like obligation. This is a time of connection, this is a time of celebration and creating memories (as is every day in my world). A time of Hope and Peace.

I had an interesting experience the other week I would like to share with you. I was happily sitting and writing away in my own little bubble and there was a huge WHOMPH of energy that came flooding in through my feet, down through my head and whirled like a mad thing around my body with a very clear message – What about those who need a little bit of help and extra TLC? WTF? So I sat with it for a little bit (although the temptation to bolt and run was high) and images of little people and Xmas, people cold and alone, single parents looking feeling despair and less than as they look at what they have and wonder how on earth they can even fake a Christmas dinner, pay the rent and buy a gift for each of their kids. I cried! I mean I cried a full body, holy hannah fat tears dripping onto the paper kinda cry as this had hit a really personal chord, but that’s a story for another day. I will be honest, I kept trying to pretend that this whole scenario hadn’t happened, as after all I was too busy to do anything about it, and came up with every frigging excuse under the sun. Yeah, let me tell you – don’t even attempt to run from messages from the Divine, she comes and finds you, even if you are hiding in the bottom of the closet under a pile of coats!

What ended up happening was I contacted the elementary schools and asked if they knew of any small people who might need a little TLC and support this Xmas and also if they knew of any families that might need help. I contacted the homeless shelter and asked them what they needed and blankets was the resounding answer. Within a week I had been advised of two families that could really do with a loving hand and 60 little people from 4 – 12 that could do with some TLC. So I talked to an organisation that I love and work with – The Royal Canadian Legion and they stepped up loud and proud and are doing a blanket drive and creating two amazing hampers of food, gifts and certificates for the two families. Then I threw it out on Facebook to my community to see who could help with all these little people as we only have 2 weeks and I wanted to see who was willing to be a glorious, gorgeous Secret Santa. Quite a few people in the community stepped up and were assigned a small person to get a gift for, but what gob smacked me was the support from people in different areas of the world, France, Southern US, Vancouver. Thus, as of this moment we have 35 out of the 60 little people covered with a cool gift, all wrapped and ready for them come Xmas morning. Which to me is frigging cool. So on those days when you think you are alone or don’t matter, trust me, you most certainly do. This reminder gives me that beautiful sense of peace and trust and massive joy. Each of us can make a difference, it doesn’t have to be massive and lavish, it can be heartfelt, loving and little.

Okay, so keeping with the energy of the shorter and shorter days and coming to the place on Solstice of being willing to step into the dark to bring your light beaming bright out into the world – The Divine Circus Oracle stepped up loud and proud! Now, if you have never worked with this glorious Oracle deck, this deck is for those who find it hard to follow rules, conform, bend to authority and generally do what they are told. May your rebel heart always be bold. Interesting to see the glorious crystals that wanted to come share their energy today. We have Septarian – a shamanic healing stone, Smoky Quartz – Grounding and protects from negative energies and last but not least Shungite – a glorious purifier and transformation crystal. Let’s go play with the energy of Peace this week and a little more into the dark, it’s safe – honest.

So gorgeous one, get anchored and grounded by breathing long and deep in through your nose and out through your mouth. If you need a little help with tapping into the energy of Peace that we are working with this week there is a little visualisation to help. Otherwise, just breathe and drop into your body. You are safe, you are loved, you are Peace. Ready?

Let’s go pick, shall we?

Take another glorious breathe and feel it fill you from top to toe and then let’s go see, yes?

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!

NEBULA WARRIOR

There are advocates for love on this earth, those that are passionate defenders of the freedom for all beings to grow and fulfil their divine destiny. These warriors for the soul know they can either use darkness to serve the growth of the light, or allow it to consume their sense of hope, trust and faith in the right outworking of the destiny of all living things. You are being initiated in the ways of working with darkness constructively, to become a soul warrior with all living beings.

Some things in life are worth fighting for – but how do you fight with love? How do you fight without becoming bitter, hateful, tired, disconnected from the whole reason you needed to fight in the first place? To be a warrior for love and the soul, you have to be smart. You have to know how to fight without fighting, how to use the natural darkness on this planet as a way to birth a new consciousness that is unafraid. Nebula Warrior isn’t afraid of the dark. She isn’t interested in the rules of war established by fear-loving minds. She creates her own rules, not based on what people want her to believe, but based on what works to keep her free and liberate the minds and hearts of all beings.

She comes to you now because whatever situation needs healing in your life, or in the world, you have the power to bring it about. If you go for the goal directly, trying to force a change, you will be putting your considerable energy into pursuit and unintentionally set up resistance and repulsion. Guiding rather than forcing the solution to come into being , is a more effective use of your power. Do what you can do, each day. If you cannot do something you want to do, ask for help from the universe and then let it go. When you need rest, take it. You are a warrior of love and you will win any and every war, through cool compassion and smart, simple strategy.

DIVINE DISGUISE

Some blessings are obvious – the door that opens, the person who says yes and the instant success of an idea. But not all blessings are instantly recognisable. Some blessings are so veiled that at first you might consider them to be an unwanted development. A concealed blessing is either already at work in your life or on its way. Don’t worry if you feel like things aren’t working out as they should. Soon enough, the disguise will be dropped, and the blessed unmasked in all its beauty.

Blessings are the mysterious workings of the universe, there to help us along our unique life path to live our truths and fulfil our potential. The universe has the knack of knowing just what it is we need, even when sometimes we might think we need something altogether different. This is how it can be that something we resist and reject in our lives can become the very thing we’re most grateful for later on. We realise it had been a blessing masked, something actually helping us, even though it might have come in the form of a challenge or a struggle before we eventually gain great benefit from it.

The real beauty of a situation isn’t obvious to you yet. But trust and have peace of mind and a realisation that the universe does really know what it’s doing. It’s in your corner, on your side, cheering you on and helping you avoid unnecessary pitfalls, even if you don’t know they exist. There is no need to worry, even that which appears to be most troublesome is going to reveal itself to be working in your favour!

How did that feel? Remember to give yourself moments every day where you just drop into the lotus flower in your heart and breathe in Peace and release “Shoulds”. Breathe, Receive and Allow. You’ve got this! Wishing you a fantabulous week and next week we explore Joy!

Gemini Super moon and Mercury in Retrograde – Weekly Reading December 4th

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Hello delightful darling of deliciousness! How is your Marvellous Monday? Did you have a glorious Thanksgiving? It seems like Thanksgiving was just yesterday, but no it wasn’t, and wow December is already here bringing with it a Supermoon in Gemini, Mercury just went retrograde (gulp) and the energy of this month is Upgrade. So we are in a delicious energetic time (you thought you had escaped it didn’t you?) But let’s boil this all down and look at what the heck it all means.

Last month the theme was Turning the Soil, digging deep into things and coming to terms with certain areas of our lives. We are now in the last month of the year and with this Super moon in Gemini and Mercury being the ruling planet of Gemini we are being asked to do a celebrate, review, release and realign. Now what do I mean by that? As humans we are really good at looking at the things that didn’t happen, or went wrong (which is a load of bollocks), instead of regularly acknowledging and celebrating our glorious successes. So it’s time to acknowledge those and then review what goals that you set that didn’t come to fruition and ask yourself why. Please don’t use this as an exercise to beat yourself up, that’s not what it’s about, it’s an evaluation. The energy right now is about releasing the things you aren’t fully connected to and not for your highest good (or they would have come to pass) and re-visioning your future. To me that is very cool, especially as we are winding up the year and we are heading into the dark of the Winter Solstice.

Over the last couple of weeks a few new decks picked me,which I love! However, most interesting to see I had some energy about one of them. I don’t tend to do “cute”, I most certainly don’t do generic, platitudes and avoiding looking at the pink elephant in the room. So it was most strange to me when a deck kept hopping into my hands, calling to me and literally getting up and in my face. A deck that “looked cute, bland and have to say meh.” So after the third of fourth time of this deck trying to come to me I said – what the heck, and holy hannah I am glad I did. Why? I like to be real, raw, true and go deep, which means embracing all aspects of who we are. We are composites of dark and light. When we try to continually stay in that “light place” because it’s the societal norm and stuff our gifts and our truth because it makes others uncomfie it is so frigging draining! So this Oracle deck really asks you to step out of the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to acknowledge your individuality and strange genius. You are being encouraged to acknowledge your whole self and stop cloaking your gorgeous quirky traits in the gray garb of “normality”, it’s okay not to fit into that mould. Which again totally ties into going into the dark of the Winter Solstice to bring your light back out. So please let me introduce you to The Oracle of Shadow and Light, by Lucy Cavendish. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled to join in are:- Cinabrite, Moonstone and Snowflake Black Obsidian, good fits for this deck methinks.

I had also thought that for some December can be a bit of a challenging month with commitments, obligations and expectations running rampant. With that in mind each week there will be a brief guided visualisation to help you reconnect to the tenets of Advent – Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. So with that all being said, take a moment and just breathe. Listen to the visualisation if you want to really tap into your sense of Hope and then pick the card or cards that are calling to you.

Did you pick? Shall we go see?

Angel de los Muertos

I bring you a message from a loved one: one whose spirit seems to have already departed, but whose physical presence lingers on for now . I as you now to acknowledge your loved ones who are resting, in spirit, or creating new selves for their souls. You may soon be about to meet a beloved in a new form: I ask you to stay open minded about the form in which the souls can come, and I ask you to be open to the message from the loved ancestors. For they have something to tell you, and it will come to you soon, in a vision, or a dream, or a message during a daydream that will bring such sweet tangible proof of what some people still call life after death.

There is no death. There’s only life and resting and change. Be ready to be comforted and to learn more of the world beyond this world, which is always with you, but is not always believed in, or trusted, even when we send messages to you, as clear as a flag in the sky.

You are not to delay activating this lifetime’s purpose. The message is not just from those who have passed, but of the truth that you can activate your new life now, whilst alive. It is no longer necessary to pass, to re-create the life contract and purpose you have. Do not wish to leave in order to start anew: believe that this life is a constant process of creation and that you are at a point where you can end a pattern, without ending this life. Energy is changing, and death is no longer the greatest reshaper. She comes to visit you now so the fear of mortality passes and so that you understand you can being to rebirth yourself into a new life, now.

Mend A Broken Heart Fairy

Here she comes to gather up your heart’s sore pieces and place a sweet bandage on the place that is most wounded. And this one tender gesture does more to heal you than could a thousand years of therapy. It’s time for small kindnesses to be received, for you to know that the little gifts of friendship and sweetness are the ones that will assist you most at this time.

Allow yourself to be treated gently, to be attended to with kindness, and to be hugged. Allow yourself to accept that this is a time when you need to take good care of yourself. You are healing, and on the mend, but do not undo her medicine by forcing yourself to hurry up and get over it!

When you have heartache, it is important to treat yourself well: take time away from the flurry of shoulds you are so often confronted with. Why not take some time to snuggle on the couch with a favourite old movie, and have a sniffle. Have a long, comforting bath, and be sure to make a promise to yourself to let close people who are worthy of you and of your love! It is not about being bitter or guarded, but you are a sensitive and tender sweet being, and some people are just…not! So now is not the time for harshness. Soft blankets, sweet dreams, long baths, and a reduction of the harsh energy around you are best.

Then the Mend A Broken Heart Fairy can fly in to soothe you….. You will feel her presence, and she will lift the pain, until all that is left is sweet, gentle wisdom!

Violet Duchess

Bored! Stifled! Ah yes, she’s trying to be “good” and “nice” and polite – but it’s not working. This lovely and very passionate aristocrat has her fairy wings tucked firmly in, not visible at all, and is sitting stiffly, listening to someone give a lecture on manners.

In your admirable quest for balance, you can actually become too neutral, pretending to be serene, acting polite, not making waves – and not speaking your truth! Now that I’ve arrived showing you exactly how you feel, it’s time to discover – or rediscover – a raw and honest emotional reaction you had to a person, or to an issue, and express it. It’s all very well being a lover of harmony and not wanting to be a “troublemaker” but being a lukewarm person in regards to situations that really matter is not going to do you any favours. Bottling up your true self leads to unhealthy relationships, aches, pains, and even illness! Go for the passionate and truthful option – and rediscover just how strongly you can feel, and how much fun you can have!

Your desire to be liked, to please to the be seen as a “lady” or a “gentleman” is cheating yourself out of something wonderful that you deserve to experience. Sometimes, there are rules that simply need to be broken. Keeping to the spirit of the law sometimes means breaking the letter of the law, that’s how things change. There is a situation at the moment that has revealed itself as unjust, unfair, and absolutely unattractive to you, but you have yet to speak up! The most inspiring thing about this situation is that you’ll discover just how safe it is to stand up for what you truly believe in. Others will be inspired, too, so while it feels like you’re taking a risk, at first, after awhile you’ll realise you’ve started your own small revolution.

Wow, that was a very strong reading! Remember you can only see the brightness of the stars against the backdrop of the dark night sky, they are both equally important. So delicious one, wishing you a beautiful week where you breathe in Hope, Ease and Flow and breathe out “Shoulds and overwhelm”. Don’t forget to drink your water and do something lovely for yourself each day to recharge you. If you have any feedback on the new deck, would love to hear it. See you next week! Huge hugs and squeezes.
