Guidance

Dearest Gentle Reader, let’s get personal shall we?…….

Dearest Gentle Reader,

(I have wanted to say that for so long!)

It feels like it has been a hot minute! Actually it has been 3 months of a hot minute.

So let me explain why – as no, you haven’t been abandoned and I most certainly have appreciated the emails and messages and check ins.

If you are not interested in hearing about it, please skip to the reading part. Okay?

As many of you know, my mothership and I had an “interesting” relationship at times. She could be incredibly judgemental, unkind and most certainly loved to point out I was the Black Sheep.

For the last 3 and a bit months prior to the mothership choosing MAID on June 7th, I went and spent time with her every day.

And in that time I received an incredible, amazing blessing and gift.

She allowed her armour to drop, the judgements to fade away and we laughed and talked and teased and loved in a way I can’t ever remember doing with her. It truly was an incredible gift.

Now if you don’t know what MAID is, it’s Medical Assistance In Dying.

She had chosen this prior and it was meant to be a month out but on that day she had had enough, so it was 2 hours heads up!

And as of 1:13pm on June 7th things started getting “interesting.”

First off, my brother (only surviving family member), who turned up 10 minutes before the MAID process, expressed to me after she died his disappointment in me that I had called the funeral home, as he felt we should leave her body there for 3 days so he could visit it and be with her.

Hmm. Appreciating this is the man that last year at my sister’s Celebration of Life decided to strip down to swim trunks and swim in her scattered ashes.

With her death we were then presented with the fact that her home, her life, her things had to be packed up, sorted, and distributed in under a month! So needless to say the only way for me to do that was to take time off work and put my grief in a shoebox in the back of the closet.

My brother was useless as tits on a bull to be blunt and instead advised everyone (including my children) that none of us understood his complex grief and then went on an attack rampage focused solely on his perceived slights, misunderstandings and anger which he kindly directed fully at moi!

Toss on the cherry on that explosive toxic cake that the executor is his ex-wife who decided to work out some of her dysfunction with him and the attacks and vitriol were coming in quick and fast.

So here we are 3 months out and I had postponed my Mum’s Celebration of Life due to this fucked up family dynamic, have offered solution after solution which have all been discarded and finally came to the place of Enough!

Not a “Fuck You” enough, but a heart and soul based “No.”

My shoebox in the closet is asking to be opened, my children are looking to honour their Nanny and have healing, grieving and closure.

Thus, the celebration of life now has a date, I’ve been super clear about my boundaries and have fully distanced myself from my brother and his ex wife and hopefully he gets to a point where he doesn’t hold the whole family hostage and will allow the Will to go to probate.

Huzzah!

Now, why am I sharing this with you?

Because, transparency is important to me and I feel that I have been in Imago for the last 3 months.

Imago is what happens when a caterpillar cocoons before they transform, thus not a caterpillar, nor a butterfly – just the goo, a third entity unto itself.

So within this glorious goo phase many things have changed. My work, my life, my thoughts.

So yes, there is a reading today, will there be one weekly over the next month – No and I will explain why shortly.

Also, within this process it’s been most interesting and I have relearned that when one closes off a whole huge piece such as grief and the death of the last parental – it also closes out a lot of joy and magick and seeing the delight in the every day.

I’ve also noticed that many around the world are in that place of Imago – the not knowing as our world seems to go to hell in a handbasket politically, financially, economically and yet there is a collective yearning for something more supportive, loving and joyful.

Can you feel it?

So let me ask the questions of you that I have been exploring in great depth for the last 3 months.

What does your heart want (not your brain)?

What does your soul need?

How can you bring that into your life in a more tangible way?

What have you put off due to overthinking that would make your soul sing?

What do you need to release to allow more of that yumminess in?

Why those questions?

Because when you are in the Imago, the goo, they bring you back to your essence, they bring you back to Source and Love and they provide you with the breadcrumb trail to follow, which often is not logical at all.

An example of this in my own life is – for all you amazing ones who joined in when we did The Omen Days, if you remember you had 13 wishes and by the end of the Omen Days you were left with one, yes?

That last wish was the one you were meant to create this year.

My wish that I was left with was “I am travelling Ireland, UK and Wales and exploring the Sacred Sites.”

It’s been a goal and a dream I have had for at least 2 years and I kept putting it off and putting it off.

However, with all the drama of the last 3 months, and asking myself those questions every day, paring back the things that were done and allowing myself to sit in the Imago – guess what?

I leave in less than a week!

Spirit, Soul and Heart have said over and over again – “It’s time to go back to your roots, it’s time to embrace the ancestral healing and love, it’s time to open and transform.”

So I am. Hence why there won’t be weekly readings for the next 5 weeks!

However, for all of you who have asked, will there be an Equinox Guide, yes.

She will be released this Wednesday.

I personally will be spending Equinox (September 22nd), my birthday, my 60th birthday at New Grange in Ireland. If you don’t know this site – go check it out, it’s delicious.

Okay, that was a lot of openness and sharing, and for those of you who have skipped straight to the reading let’s crack on shall we?

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

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world.

We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.

Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.

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

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

So gorgeous one, breathe. Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

ANGEL OF TRUTH

The truth wants to be told, needs to be heard. It may seem like the whole world wants to believe in a lie, and so you wonder if you are crazy, if you are the only one who is thinking differently and desiring the real story to emerge. Yet those that fight against the truth are even more in need of it! There can be no healing, no freedom, no moving one without it.

You are going to be blessed with a truth revealed, a realisation about yourself, the world or others that will bring you relief. It will happen at the right time. It will set your soul free.

Sometimes, the lies we are repeatedly told become so familiar that we forget that they are lies and begin to believe that they are real. Maybe it’s someone judging us that is the lie. Maybe it’s advertising and the media, which are often more about deceptive manipulation that a source of correct information. Whatever the source, all untruth teaches us the same thing – that we must be afraid and hate each other.

When we are fed so many false truths, it can become hard to remember what real truth feels like. It can even start to seem like the truth doesn’t matter as much as being able to convince another person to accept your point of view. This is like poison for the soul.

The soul needs truth like your body needs air. It keeps it alive. Deep in your soul, you know what is true, and you know when you, or anyone else, is not being truthful. You are sensitive enough to know that only truth feels good for you. You must give yourself permission to be truthful with your own soul and live honestly, authentically and bravely in this world. It is the only way for you to be really you.

QUEEN OF HEARTS

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

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

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

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

EARTH GODDESS

To live the dream, we have to surrender the fantasy. This can be painful. It feels like the end – when, in fact, it is the beginning. Once the pain passes, there is the joy of what we have yearned for coming to life. It may not be as perfect as the fantasy, but it will be real, and it can nourish us. We can build our appetite for life with dreams, but we cannot be fed by them.

The soul requires real life experience to become fully alive, to have experiences and grow. There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you. Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be. It is not enough to imagine them. You want to live them! This is exactly how you are meant to feel. For that to happen, you must practice feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life.

The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps. Spirit cannot do that for you. Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Remember you are an Earth Goddess. You have the power to manifest your visions, to bring your beautiful ideas to life in the world. This is what you are here to do. Remember to love yourself enough to recognise your creative power and use it joyfully each day.

You can’t make this shit up! Seriously.

So my gorgeous one, a message for you:- Whatever you are going through, bring it into your heart and your soul and ask the questions. Follow the breadcrumb trail with faith and love, big love and trust that you are positively perfect and in the right space right now and everything is unfolding for your highest good.

You may get travel missives, you may not.

Otherwise, see you in mid October.

Big love and hugs,

Taurus New Moon, May Energy and Mothers Day!

Jenny Heston · 4:14 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? How was your Beltane experience?

I made a lovely offering to the Fae of crystals, sunflower seeds, red wine and shiny coins. I noticed a good chunk of the red wine was gone the next morning.

So either there were some tippled faeries flying around or a tipsy racoon!

Okay my darlings, we have lots to natter about this week. We have the New Moon in Taurus, a big shift in May energy and of course Mothers Day all coming up this week.

So grab a cuppa and get settled.

First off, thank you for all your lovely shares about the Beltane gift – over 300 of you downloaded it and shared your experiences! Love it!

But before we kick off everything; for those who have asked about Flourish – there are only a few spots left.

The doors close on Mothers Day and we start the following week.

So if you have been sitting on the fence and umming and ahhing, to be blunt – it’s time to piss or get off the pot! Lol.

Remember, we are in the Year of the Wood Dragon and an 8 year – 8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!

It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.

If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, own your worth, get comfortable with uncomfortable emotions, and be a very active participant in creating your life (not a stand on the side victim).

Okay, let’s have a look at this week.

On Tuesday the 7th we have the Taurus New Moon in our skies.

“After the transformative waves of Eclipse Season, the Taurus New Moon on May 7th, anchors us into a place of nourishing stability.

We may feel the rising importance to slow down, ground our energy, and make time for stillness. Much may have changed and much may be in flux, but the welcoming energies of the New Moon guide us to rest, recharge, and find our centre.”

How can we create a cycle of nourishment in our own lives?

How can we bring balance to the flow of giving and receiving?

Creating this harmony really begins with us and our inner state of being.

Next up we have the May energy shift into one of “MENTAL CLARITY AND INSPIRATION”.

Let’s let the amazing Lena share her wisdom on this theme.

We have just been through an energetic and emotional centrifuge and this month we get to sort out what is left and more importantly what we value and what is important to us.

There may have been losses, changes, disappointments, new opportunities, sudden reversals, shocking news, situations better than expected and situations more challenging than planned for.

It has been a lot, our plates are full, and now we need to take the time to reflect, review, reassess, and reset, with the goal being some mental clarity and new inspiration about our purpose and next steps.

It is a time of observing self and others with patience and receptivity. What are you manifesting? If it is more of the same as in the past that you intended to change, then you still have work to do.

The greatest obstacle this month is fear. We have a collective fear of the unknown, fear of being victimised, losing our freedom, abandoned, restricted, and at the deepest level annihilated.

This fear can quickly eliminate any inspiration for what is possible in the unknown of the future.

The antidote for fear is trust and connecting to the larger picture of evolution, the magnificent structure and organisation of the universe and the grounding and nurturing aspect of the earth.

Are you seeing how all the energies meld like a glorious pot of soup?

Hence why the doors to FLOURISH opened at this time! (and no, you can’t make this shit up.)

Sunday the 12th brings in Mothers Day.

For me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not. As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

I will be honest, I have learned so much from my five children – they have taught me amazing lessons, given me a lot of angst, and helped me to grow up.

I also realise that Mother’s Day can be challenging for some as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, grief, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more.

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class! (Gotta love how energy moves).

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in. So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend.

Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come. “

On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

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

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

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

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

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

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Woosah! Gorgeous guides for this week! Sending you massive hugs and squeezes, set your intentions under the Taurus New Moon, come join us in Flourish and ground yourself!

In this Mercury Retrograde energy, Don’t run the world through your body! It’s time to Flourish!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Miraculous, Mercuric, Magical, Mellow, Moody, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious, lovely? How did the eclipse treat you?

Isn’t it just oh so much fun to have that intense of an eclipse whilst Mercury retrograde is running rampant?

Part of me has been hugely confused as if I’m coming or going to be honest!

Let alone feeling like I’m parenting an acting out teenager when it comes to Mercury Retrograde and technology, I mean seriously it has been a gong show to say the least.

As I mentioned in the last reading, there is a beautiful new project coming out, called Flourish.

You were meant to have heard about it last week, but as I said I have an acting out teenage tech entity in the house, who decides to not do what they are asked and then goes and locks themselves in their room (whilst ignoring me). Lol

So it will be coming out this week and thank you for your patience. (Assuming I can bribe the tech teen out of their room with cool snacks or money, lol).

I have to admit, I am super excited, as the pivot in March, all the downloads and the eclipse – wowzer, they have mapped out my work for the whole year and it is frigging delicious.

Oh yes, and if you received a random email from me on Thursday about The Omen Days that you couldn’t read, no clue why. My tech teen decided that was a good plan, so please ignore it!

Okay, one of the themes that I have been hearing from a lot of you is overwhelm, the desire to hide, there’s grief, confusion, family dramas, the feeling of taking one step forward and three steps back, people pleasing , fatigue, the desire to shift things, boundaries and so much more.

All of which I can totally understand and appreciate.

As let’s be honest, the energies have been and will continue to be rather challenging.

But let me say to you – that if you are here at this moment in time, you are meant to be here. You are needed.

That being said, it doesn’t make it easier, as being a spiritual being having a human experience can be rather challenging! And with overwhelm can come the sense of disconnect, fragility, fight/flight, freeze, or fawn.

The key thing to remember is that YOU DON’T HAVE TO RUN THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM!

“It’s not helpful to run the energy of the world through your system. It’s not helpful to attempt to carry the weight of the world on your back alone. It’s not helpful to let the problems of the world overwhelm you.” ~ Rebecca Campbell

Aligned, Healthy, Action isn’t possible from a place of overwhelm.

But how to deal with those feelings of overwhelm?

Start where you are. Carry what’s in front of you. Be responsible for what’s yours. Do what you can. Stay grounded. Transmute what you can.

Great Jenny, but how??????

Feel your feelings, so if you are angry look at what is triggering you. Sit with it, feel it and acknowledge, “Okay, what am I feeling? What is moving through me?” So first of all, feel your feelings and give yourself space to feel your feelings.

Then move and transmute them. This can be dancing, putting on a song that you really like and letting your body move with the feelings inside you. It can be going for a walk, getting out in nature, doing some exercise, creating something. Talking to a professional.

Do what fits you and that allows the feelings and energy to move through you and out.

Then ground yourself. Take time to bring all the parts of you back to yourself, see yourself anchored to the earth with a strong cord or golden light and a cord coming from your crown up to the Universe. Reclaim yourself, reclaim your power.

Tend to your Nervous system. With everything that has happened over the last few years, many of us have hypersensitive nervous systems now and so learning ways to regulate it, to calm (takes us out of overwhelm, flight, fight, freeze or fawn), is vital.

I do this a lot with clients and circles that I hold, as well as all the groups.

As this is a reading I can’t go into length or we would be here for ages, so let me give you 3 quick and easy ways. Breath work. Breathe out for 5, hold for 5, breathe in for 5, hold for 5. Repeat 5 times. (You can do this in a grocery store).

Hum. (yes, I said hum or sing). As we hum it creates a different vibration in the body, as we sing the same thing happens and we take in more oxygen.

Cold water face plunge. Big bowl of cold water, hold your breath, plunge your face in and blow bubbles galore – repeat 3 times.

Then from that place of groundedness (yes that is a word), and calmness take grounded action. What actions can you take (and they don’t have to be huge) to make yourself feel better? Is it learning to say No? Drinking more water? Getting more rest? Whatever it is that will help and support you.

Small daily grounded action transmutes the energy of overwhelm into an energy that serves and nourishes you. And remember that maybe your grounded action is to Rest.

Okay, I have chuntered on long enough. Let’s crack on with the reading.

When I asked the cards who wanted to talk and guide this week I was delighted to see that it was the delicious Spirit of the Animals. So in case you may have never met them, let me introduce you. “Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history. Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations. China has an animal associated with every birthday. The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire. Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs. Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers. Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem. School sports teams choose animal mascots. It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists. Animals as symbols live in our deepest memory.”

Okay delicious lovely, take a gorgeous deep breath and allow your shoulders to drop and your jaw to gently relax. I invite you to see in your mind’s eye a place of stillness, a place filled with ease and flow, a place where you feel connected to earth and source. From the place pick the card or cards that whisper to you.

If you need a bit more support there’s a wee guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

PENGUIN – AUTHENTIC

Penguin is the bird that cannot fly but instead swims. They can see better underwater than on land, symbolising better access to the subconscious mind than usual.

Penguins are full of surprises just like the people they represent. The males and females experience role reversals. Male penguins will sit on the eggs for months while their female counterparts hunt for food.

Penguin urges you to adapt to extreme circumstances, break free from expectations and reinvent yourself. Penguin says adapt, change, find your tribe, sing and celebrate your uniqueness.

Penguin people often feel awkward or out of place. Tapping into Penguin energy can help you embrace your differences. Self – acceptance is a big part of Penguin medicine. They remind us that there is no right way to be!

Like all diving birds, Penguin relates to the truth that lies below the surface. Maybe Penguin is telling you to go below, find your deeper truth and your most authentic self.

These are things in life that really matter. Finding like minded people (your tribe) will help you see your beauty as you see theirs.

The wisdom of Penguin asks you to just be the unique and colourful person that you are!

Break free from others’ expectations.

Love your uniqueness. Just be Yourself!

RAVEN – SHAMAN

If you have been a lover or ravens, collect their feathers, embrace their images, read their myths, observe them in nature and love black, then Raven is your totem.

It is said when magic is near, Ravens appear. Ravens are messengers from another world. They bring us secret knowledge about magic and divination. Ravens are the winged spirit advisors from our powerful subconscious. Raven people conspire with the energies of the universe to help them create their dreams. They experience continual learning and enlightenment. Raven people do not fear the darkness. The vast unknown is their storehouse of cosmic forces. Others can be drawn to Raven people but also be fearful of what they know.

If Raven is your totem you are creative and love playful interaction. You cultivate the natural philosopher within yourself. You have access to the subconscious mind and this incredible knowledge is yours to retrieve. If Raven is your totem, learn to meditate and reach deep within yourself to your own reservoir of wisdom. Go into the dark and bring back the light. Raven can fly you there and introduce you to riches of wisdom beyond your wildest imagination.

You are the creator and magician.

Use your gifts for good.

There is power in your wisdom and words.

Connect with the elemental spirits

And glide through the void.

Claim your place as Keeper of the Mysteries.

RAM – PERSEVERANCE

The majestic bighorn sheep, or ram, is a master of agility and bravery. They navigate rugged terrain at incredible speeds and land with confidence on the narrowest ledge.

They have sharp vision and an acute sense of smell. All of these traits help the bighorn sheep survive. The male ram has a unique set of horns that spiral out from their head. They never drop and they grow throughout the bighorn’s life, symbolising his fine mind. It is a gift Ram people share with their totem. Horns are an extension of the skull and have been called a natural antenna for intuition. The ram is a competitive lover. Be on guard for aggressive tendencies in your love life. Jealousy should most certainly be avoided.

If Ram has chosen you, you have success on your side. Ram urges you to use your fine mind to your advantage. You will persevere and go to great heights to succeed. Your reserves of strength and courage combined with your intuition will help you navigate the toughest circumstances.

Call upon Ram to make you brave in the face of risk and get ready to take a leap of faith. Your many talents will help you land with sure success.

You have many gifts.

No problem can withstand

The power of your mind.

With patience you can reach your mountaintop.

Never give up and good luck will follow.

Wow, what glorious guides for this week. Wishing you a week filled with grounded soul fed action, rest, and clarity. Talk to you later this week. Big hugs and squeezes.

Aries Eclipse, Libra, Chiron, Mercury Retrograde, to name a few! CAN YOU SAY KAPOW!!!!!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

We aren’t going to bother with the Happy M, M, M, M, M day today, lol!

Why? ( to be honest I want to be outside watching the pieces of the eclipse I can see from the west coast!) Hence why you are receiving this earlier in the day!

So grab a cuppa as this is a long, information packed post!

Today is the Aries solar eclipse, combined with the Wood Dragon, Mercury retrograde and a number 8 year,

Can you say KAPOW!!!!

Let me ask (as I didn’t do a reading last week as I played), how are you feeling with this eclipse portal and Mercury retrograde?

Some of you have shared that the energy has amplified and been challenging, others have shared that they have felt motivated, and for some – no impact.

So let’s dive into this Eclipse portal energy, as most of my astrologer friends are saying that it is the most powerful they have seen in over 20 years.

And then we will give the back piece of this year energy, and the Dragon energy (just for shits and giggles, or more a case of as humans we forget.)

Okay, so this eclipse portal is all about purifying, detoxing, and adding supreme extra juice to the new seeds we are planting.

But be clear, these are seeds that are aligned with your truest self.

What do you want to do in a meaningful way in this life?

The first eclipse on March 25th, in Libra, was hitting the South Node, which is all about dropping the karmic baggage, think of it like a shedding phase.

This is the place of glorious Shadow territory ( a territory that a lot of us humans try to avoid like the plague), but it is the place of hidden potentials.

When you are willing to do Shadow work and I mean deep work, you discover all the hidden potentials, the gifts and the wisdom that have been lurking there.

You discover your “Golden Shadow”, and the invitation with this eclipse energy is to really own it and nurture it.

Think of it like digging the dirt so that your seed can FLOURISH!

Today we have the second eclipse in Aries, and just to be clear – we started working with the Libra/Aries axis energy last July and it will go on until January 2025, so 18 months in total!!!!

Aries brings glorious Sacred Warrior energy to the table, inviting you to get super clear, deal with your Karmic bullshit and stand up against the grain!

What do you stand for?

Because if you aren’t clear, the world around you will try to tell you and I’m pretty dang sure it won’t be in alignment with your truest self.

Not only do we have this eclipse in Aries, but Chiron conjunct this eclipse to the minute!

We will never see that again in our lifetimes (so yes, another big one).

Who is Chiron?

Chiron is the Wounded Healer and this is a time for some deep, deep healing and releasing of ancestral stories that aren’t yours (even though you may think they are).

It’s about allowing the wounds to surface and alchemise them.

Also, don’t forget that with Mercury retrograde it’s all about the RE words.

Revist, rethink, recreate, realign, readjust and more importantly with it happening in the middle of these eclipses – it will extend the eclipse energy.

Now do you see what is happening energetically? (So no, you haven’t been going crazy!)

So let’s talk about the container that this is all happening in, think of it like a glorious sacred bowl made of the Wood Dragon energy and the 8 energy.

Remember what I said near the beginning of the year…..

2024 is an 8 year, 8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!

It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.

If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.

Throw in the energy of this being the Year of the Wood Dragon, and if you remember:-

Dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that is not of the mundane earthly world. It has the highest vision and broadest reach – they soar the highest and furthest. It’s a year to look beyond the conﬁnes and to dream big, to envision the future we want. Getting clarity on our purpose or mission is essential.

Authenticity is key and is of the highest vibration. We are asked to believe in ourselves, to remember who we are, to ﬁnd our own authentic story and not anyone else’s. The exalted Dragon insists on raising the standards, set your goals high for it’s time to really step up.

“Wood energy allows us to grow, expand, and keep our vision on track for the long term. The Season of Spring is connected to the element of Wood, so this year of the Dragon will help us to create new beginnings, plant new seeds, and allow our garden to flourish.

The energy is ripe for new beginnings and undergoing new ventures, but we have to create stability and work from the heart.

The words that come up strongly are Heart based, Strength, Authenticity and Personal Power.

Great Jenn, so remind me, why are we doing a recap?

Because as humans we tend to forget very quickly and we don’t work with the energies and the power we have inside ourselves to create a glorious tapestry of change, growth, ease and something that allows us to Flourish!

Phew! If you have read this far, you will have a comprehensive overview of what is happening on many levels.

So what are some things that you can do to help yourself move with this energy?

Look Mortality in the face. (Yes, seriously)

You have 1 week, 1 month, 1 year – what is it you want to create, what do you want to do?

Drop the mundane, the excuses, the bullshit and the habits.

Write a list.

Write a list of what doesn’t light you up.

Write a list of what lights you up.

What is calling to your depths and your soul that you keep putting off? Really sit with this and then…….let yourself be open to what comes up.

Sacred Warrior Practices

There are many practices I teach in the circles that I lead to help you tap into your own Divine Sacred Warrior.

The easiest one – do Warrior Pose (yes the Yoga pose). But do it with intention and really allow your body to stretch and your soul to sing into the spaces.

Okay, enough chuntering. I have a glorious big announcement for you, but I will send it out on Wednesday as this has been a lot for you to take in.

So my darling one envision yourself as your own Sacred Warrior, holding that pose of strength, clarity and all for the highest good. Allow that energy to swirl in on your breath and fill your cells, and as you breathe out, allow the “shoulds” to drop to the floor like dust.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee gander, shall we?

RENEWING YOUR LIFE

“Radiant Vitality is filling my life!”

A powerful inner and outer renewal is occurring in your life. Purification is happening on many levels.

Take your life to the next level by clutter-clearing.

Release situations and people that don’t empower you, space-clear your environment, and eat lightly. In order for renewal to occur, the old needs to make way for the new.

Sometimes it’s difficult for exciting experiences to come into your life if your auric field or your personal space is cluttered.

There’s simply no room for something new.

When you purify your life, you create the space for new opportunities to come flooding in.

If you have a sense that your auric field, your living space, or your body have become cluttered or dingy, this is the time to do some inner and outer clearing.

Ask yourself:

Is there anything I need to purify or clear out of my life?

Is there anything that needs to be renewed or re-examined in my life?

How can purification help me become a clearer channel for myself and others?

LETTING GO

“I surrender joyously to the ebbing and flowing of life.”

Surrender. Relinquish control and allow Spirit to take over. You don’t need to do everything by yourself.

All is well. It’s time to just let it all go and enjoy the ride!

Doing so gives others permission to let go in their own lives.

There are times to hold on for dear life, and times to simply throw up your hands and let go. It’s time to release any limiting patterns, emotional attachments, or inner and outer clutter.

Surrendering doesn’t mean that you’re yielding to a force outside of yourself.

It means that you’re allowing your soul to take over.

Release the stress of needing to control things, wanting to determine th outcome of a situation, or expecting others to act in a particular way.

There is a simple grace and beauty that unfolds when you truly let go.

Loving spiritual help is all around you……. Simply open your heart and let it in.

Ask yourself:

Is there anything I need to release?

Is there a person or situation I need to let go of?

Is there anyone who needs to let go of me?

PLANTING SEEDS

“Seeds of grace are being planted in the fertile soil of my soul.”

The fertile soil of your soul is ready to receive the seeds that will come to harvest in the years ahead.

Get clear on what you desire for yourself and your future.

Timing is vital, and now is your moment to plant spiritual seeds.

Every realised dream once started as an idea that took root.

For your projects, ideas, and dreams to come to fruition, you need to first become clear on what your heart truly desires.

Then ask yourself, Is this really what I want?

Believe that miracles can happen. Use this time to plant seeds for your future.

Nurture these precious seeds to that they will grow as strong as the mighty oak.

Take action in the desired direction of your dreams, but be willing to pull the weeds along the way.

It won’t be long before you are reaping the bounty of your labour.

Ask yourself:

What has blocked my seeds from taking root in the past, and how can I overcome this?

How can I best prepare for my desired future?

What is being sown for my future that I may not be consciously aware of?

All I can say is wowzer, wowzer, wowzer! Sending you glorious eclipse blessings, and if you are part of our amazing email community you will be the first to hear the announcement on Wednesday. Huge hugs and love.

Hippity Hop It’s Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde bouncing in! Whoot!

Jenny Heston · 3:03 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Marvellous, Manifesting, Moony, Maddening Monday!

How was your Ostara (Spring Equinox?)

I took the day off and went and frolicked in the woods, watched 6 eagles dance in the sky and spent hours in my garden planting all sorts of delicious seeds, and finished off the day with a glorious ritual.

It was frigging deliciously, divine!

And guess what?

Today we start Eclipse Season with the glorious Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Libra!

(As a Libra person this one has been so present for me over the last 2 weeks.)

So what does this mean for you?

If you remember, eclipses come in pairs. As if they are a portal or a threshold.

Eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over cramped closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

So if you have been feeling agitated, emotional or as I like to refer to it – “itchy, twitchy and bitchy”, I’m not surprised.

We start this Eclipse season as the emotion-ruling moon opposes the ego-ruling sun, creating a penumbral lunar eclipse in diplomatic Libra. This powerful event could illuminate how leaning into our selfish habits, competitiveness and impatience can sour even the most harmonious connections.

Use this as an opportunity to re-evaluate how you’ve been showing up in your relationships.

With this being a Full Moon Eclipse. Imagine the energy of a Full Moon intensified by 100, that is the energy this brings. The releasing of a full moon, the uncovering of an eclipse and the deep, deep spotlight on relationships and balance with Libra (with a zing!).

On top of it we have Mercury going retrograde on April 1st (thank goodness it is after Easter celebrations) which is all about transforming how we communicate. Speaking our truth, being willing to use our voice in our integrity.

“The portal that opens under this Libra Lunar Eclipse is one of endings. It seems that we are being guided to bring something to a close. Perhaps it’s a thought pattern, way of belief, or, perhaps it is something more tangible like the ending of a job, relationship, or chapter of our lives.”

The scales of Libra represent the balance between giving and receiving in our lives. Where are we giving too much? Where are we not giving enough?

These were questions that we asked at Spring Equinox – balance baby!

These questions are likely to be on our minds under the Eclipse and at the root of any issues that come up for us.

Our relationships are likely to be a big focus under this Eclipse, as Libra energy gets us to look at how we show up in our partnerships with others and what we are giving and receiving.

Are we being truthful and authentic to ourselves? (Very powerful question to ask!)

Do we like who we become when we are in certain relationships?

Then to close off the Eclipse portal we have the first full Solar Eclipse on April 8th.

Prepare to take the reins as the spirit-driving sun conjuncts the empathetic moon in courageous Aries, we’ll be given the tools to recognize and claim what we need to truly thrive.

Epiphanies and surprises could also crop up, blessing us with empowering wisdom — just make sure you employ this newfound knowledge so you can continue to evolve and grow.

So in a nutshell, These powerful lunations can help drive us closer to our destinies — if we’re willing to put in the work.

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

When I asked the guides who wanted to come to play The Oracle of the Shapeshifters , they were front and centre.

If these glorious guides are new to you, let me please introduce them (as that is the polite thing to do)! “These are the magickal familiars, once the companions of shamans, witches, wizards, and wise ones – and now they are here for you.

Now is the time for you to undertake a great quest – to rebirth yourself within this lifetime and this quest of evolution does not need to be faced alone. We change and we change again. We fear change. Yet it comes. For us to fear change is as foolish as winter crying for the coming of spring. Change is. Fear corrupts.

These guides are here to support, encourage and help you through transformation and to teach you to let go of fear. True , deep change must take place for you to fulfil your soul contract.

You may have turned from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. But even when you have sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find you – and transform you. You are never alone with these beings.”

Frigging perfect guides for this time, Whoot!

So my darling one, take a lovely, luscious deep breath in and then blow it out like you are blowing a trumpet. Let yourself pause for a moment and invite in that place of balance, the giving and the receiving. The mask and the authenticity. Allow it to gently caress you and when you are ready. Pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

THE MERMAID AND THE TURTLE

An elder will teach you.

It is highly unlikely that a literal, experienced tribal elder will step forward in garb of feather and bone to guide you today – though such beings can appear in vision and in disguise (as shapeshifters, they can become almost anyone).

So while it may seem that there is no witch with her cauldron of transformation at the ready,, no Green Man to take you into the deep beneath of the underworld and help you to be reborn, there are ancient ones who are ready to teach you the deep knowledge of the planet and her oceans, and they come to you in many ways.

At this time, it is the turtles who will speak with you, letting you know of your very old soul and whispering words that reawaken knowledge that is deep in the blood and the bones of the Mother’s seas.

In order to grow, we must experience transitions and changes.

To be fully alive, we must die again and again, all in this lifetime.

While we have many rituals for birthdays and religious holidays, we often yearn for the depth of the rituals of the old days, during which part of us would die and another part of us would spring to life, and we would be reborn and renewed.

You are now about to celebrate life’s great shifts in more meaningful ways.

You are about to enter into a real relationship with the cycles of the planet – and you will be asked to observe these respectfully, thanks to the teaching of an elder.

A mentor, elder, or other wise one will instruct you at this time, but she may come in the form of any age.

Listen. Choose this person well.

It’s time to reclaim the practices that pulse in your bones, your ancestral and spirit lines.

SNAKE PRINCESS

The serpentine path to power.

Associated with the goddess, worshipped in the matriarchal cultures of Minoa, and venerated by many people, including the Hopi, the snake is life itself.

It is the marriage of the heavens and earth, and it symbolises the union of masculine and feminine.

The snake is your spine, your DNA, and your nervous system; it is the ancient serpent kundalini knowledge that has been denied for over two thousand years and now returns.

It may be time for you to carry a staff, a sacred tool around which the snake mother can twine and speak with you. You deserve to let this energy flow into you, for it is the ultimate energy of rebirth.

It is time for you to shed the skin of fear and conditioning, yet to still use your own wits.

The snake will support your intelligence, and the goddess will support your true self-love and acknowledgement.

You are about to receive knowledge of healing, of ancient times, of the beauty of what lies beneath – the underworld, with all its wisdom of crystals, minerals, and ancient worlds.

Speak and show who you are. You will not bite. You will grow strong. You will not poison.

You will inform us all with your brightness and illuminated apple, which when opened will reveal the five star seeds of wisdom. Do not refuse this apple. Do not heed the fear.

Transform and heal.

The propaganda about the snake and the serpent goddess has led us to fear this creature and our deep, wise, ancient self, and to forgo many blessed forms of connecting with the divine and with our own DNA.

My home is this tree of the world, where all souls flow from. Your soul is nurtured by my presence and wisdom of the tree.

Eat of our fruit. It is your soul nourishment.

And do not let the fears and the lies you have been taught be the reason you deny me.

You are strong enough. You are worthy enough.

QUETZALCOATL AND THE PRIESTESS OF TIME

The time has come. The time to act is now.

The feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl is at the heart of the Mayan people’s traditions, and he is a timekeeper.

His return is now, and thus this is the time of most rapid transformation, of the clarity of a thought that can manifest into reality immediately.

We are in the most challenging and fantastic times ever on this planet, and Quetzacoatl heralds a shift between worlds of consciousness.

He and his influence are now the reality, and those who refuse to step up and embrace and incorporate the new energies will find themselves deep in struggle and unhappiness over and over.

Instead, it’s time to refuse to allow fear to corrupt your courage and to do what must be done!

Will you shift your consciousness – will you change deliberately, despite the fear and the others who tell you that you are wrong?

Will you move away from fighting, opposition, the either/or mentality, and shift into a being-ness that allows for a much greater reality?

The time is now. That is all you need to know – but there is much that you must do.

A deliberate effort to move away from navel gazing and procrastination will transform into a determination to become through doing, thinking, being, sharing, and insisting o n the new reality’s truths for you.

It is time to embrace a new standard of excellence and to make that your creed.

Do not wait another heartbeat.

Oh my giddy aunt. Glorious guides for you this week, and for the beginning of Eclipse season! There will not be a reading next week as it is Easter Weekend and I plan to go in search of the wascally wabbit and try and purloin some choccie eggs! (Also spend time playing with my family and in the garden!) See you on the next Eclipse. Buckle up darling one, it’s going to be delicious!

Guidance

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Hence why the doors to FLOURISH opened at this time! (and no, you can’t make this shit up.)

But let me say to you – that if you are here at this moment in time, you are meant to be here. You are needed.

Small daily grounded action transmutes the energy of overwhelm into an energy that serves and nourishes you. And remember that maybe your grounded action is to Rest.

Can you say KAPOW!!!!

But be clear, these are seeds that are aligned with your truest self.

What do you want to do in a meaningful way in this life?

Today we have the second eclipse in Aries, and just to be clear – we started working with the Libra/Aries axis energy last July and it will go on until January 2025, so 18 months in total!!!!

And guess what?

Today we start Eclipse Season with the glorious Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Libra!

Are we being truthful and authentic to ourselves? (Very powerful question to ask!)
