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

· ·

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!!!!!

· ·

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. 

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).  

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!

· ·

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!

Spring Equinox, Libra Full Moon Eclipse and Change.

· ·

Happy Magnetic,Magickal, Marvellous, Musing, Merry, Musical, Magnificent, Manifesting March Monday!!!!!!!!

First off, thank you to all the amazing emails, comments and messages I received after the post about betrayal.  I so appreciated them all and the sharing that occurred.  Also, thank you for checking why there wasn’t a reading last week.

After the last reading, I had two amazing friends die suddenly.

And whilst I was reflecting on them, and prepping dinner – I managed to successfully slice through my nail bed and take the top of my thumb off.  Will say, it hurt like a bugger!  (Note to self, pay attention to the super sharp knife!)

Anyhow, I don’t know about you but the Spring Equinox and Eclipse energy are fully ramping up! 

Tuesday, March 19th is Spring Equinox, Ostara and it offers so much for you to tap into.

My dreams have been rather odd (cool, but odd) and my brain and body are making me really look at the seeds that I am intentionally planting, both figuratively and literally.

So what does Spring Equinox mean for you?

Ostara (Spring Equinox) is that delicious place of change.  

If you want to learn more, go deeper and explore this glorious energy there is the Ostara Magickal Guide (also known as OMG!).  

March has that energy of transition, caught between winter’s grasp and spring’s open arms.  

The Equinox brings the time when light is perfectly balanced with the darkness.  

This is a powerful time that represents seeds of intention, awakening, growth and rebirth. 

It’s the perfect time to do some reflection and align yourself with the habits that will allow you to truly flourish this season. 

So let me ask:- 

How will you support yourself during this transition?

How will you grow, glow & flourish this spring?

What types of balance are you creating in your life?

What are the seeds that you want to plant for yourself?

Remember, this is the time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

With the Spring Equinox your spirit is waking up with new ideas & new dreams for your life.

What are you going to plant?  

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

“It is said that on the Equinox, the energy grid of the planet moves into higher harmony, allowing us to soak in the healing powers of Mother Nature with greater ease. 

With the energy grid of the planet alive and awakened, we can also replenish our own energy centres of the body and send our thoughts and intentions out into the Universe for creation.

Along with this powerful Equinox energy, we also celebrate the start of the astrological year on this day. This is because, in Western Astrology, the March Equinox coincides with the start of Aries Season, the first sign of the zodiac.”

And right after this glorious Equinox time where we consider balance we have a powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra coming in on March 25th. 

This is the first eclipse of the year and the season.  

This is the perfect opportunity to assess, reflect and leave behind anything that is disturbing your balance or preventing you from achieving true harmony.

Yes?

Perfect, then let’s crack on with the reading.  If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce you to Blessed Be. 

“May these cards and guides offer you ways to enter into deeper appreciation of your life and its manifold blessings.  May you have hope, understanding and kindness.  And most of all, may you know deep within your soul, that thou art blessed.”

Frigging perfect!

So take a moment to become present.  Right here, right now, right in this minute.  

As you breathe, allow your mind’s eye to show you the balance.  The balance between what you are giving and receiving.  Then when you are ready pick the card that calls to you.

If you want to go deep.  As a gift to you on this Spring Equinox time, a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

A BLESSING FROM YOUR ANCESTORS

A blessing to bring you the gifts and guardianship of your ancestral family.

Within your bloodline, and within your spiritual line, there are thousands of relatives who care for you, and whose cells now sing within your body.  You are their future dream, you carry forward the hopes of your distance and most ancient family.  

They have seen so much – yes, in other times and faraway places, but they come to you now and bless you with all the wisdom of their experiences, making you the sum total of a thousand thousand wise ones.

Call upon the wisdom of the blood, the old ones who stand behind you, supporting and holding you, clearly giving to you the knowledge that experience taught them.  

Let only the ancestors who can free you, aid you, support you, and celebrate the best of themselves within you come forward, and may the ailments and regrets of those who have gone before teach you what not to do in this time.

If the family be thin on the ground, or if there is estrangement at present, let the arms of the old ones hold you, form a circle about you, and infuse you with everything you may need at this moment.

You are loved across the distance of time.  

May you be blessed and may you have with you the essence of the Elder, the Teacher, the one who shows, the one who shares with the younger ones, the one who keeps the skills alive inside you, and all about you.

BLESSED BE

A BLESSING ON A FRIENDSHIP

A blessing for a friendship where your best self is given permission to emerge and grow, and where mutual love is shared in good times and in bad.

May your friendship be blessed with laughter, but never at the expense of the dignity of one of you.  

May your friendship be a delight to you both, a time of warmth and sharing, give and take, small offerings of what you have sent back and forth between you.  May you be kind to each other, and honest too.  

May you have the trust that true friendship needs to speak of things for the soul, and may there be loyalty, one to the other, without chains or obedience, but freely given.  

May there be affinities of the spirit, differences to exalt in, and if harsh thoughts or words enter in and blight the path or your companionship, may you pick them up as a stone in the road, and move them out of your way.   

Let there be mutual care, and may your friendship endure amidst the inconsistencies of the world.  Let  your friendship have its seasons, but let it turn, on and on, ever – changing, ever-returning, to the place where you find love for each other, and greater love of self for knowing one another.  

BLESSED BE!

A BLESSING OF FORGIVENESS

A blessing to be able to be free of the burden of grudges and vengeance, a prayer to help you open up to the blessing that is forgiveness.  

Forgiveness is a tricky beast – and yes, for all it is a gentle word, it is a great beast, forgiveness.  For when we seek to forgive, we must wrestle with the wrongdoing that lies at the heart of our resistance to let go of the pain we are holding on to.  When we need to forgive, it is often that we are too raw, too far away from justice to be able to even touch the side of the balm of forgiveness.

Yet staying angry for long periods of time can develop into a compacted bitterness, and bitterness is a gall to all who wish to live freely.

But what can we do when the wrong is still very much alive, and to forgive another seems to be diminishing their harm, and their potential to harm others.

Justice and forgiveness must work hand in hand, and in this blessing they will now begin to entwine, so that while you begin to forgive first yourself, for whatever wrong was done to you, there is often an element of self-blame.

First, know that whatever wrong was done to you, it is not your fault.  And begin the work of forgiving yourself.  

May the blessing of this self-forgiveness be bestowed upon you now, dear friend.  Know you will gently untangle the doubt and recriminations that have settled like thorns about your heart, and invaded your mind’s peace.  And as begin to forgive yourself, you will also begin to find forgiveness for the injustices you have endured  

Let the anger burn down into coals from which you, phoenix-like, can arise.  

And know you have forgiven – forgiven the other for their dark gift.  Forgiven life.  And most of all, delivered the pure medicine of forgiveness to yourself.

BLESSED BE

Wowzer, those were glorious guides.  As quite frankly, if you aren’t willing to work with forgiveness you can’t create something different, something more supportive.    Equinox blessings and see you next week!  Remember to get your Ostara Magickal Guide!

Love is in the Air, a Self Love Candle Ritual, and How to Make the Goddess Laugh!

· ·

Happy Merry, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Manifesting, Moony Monday!

How was your New Moon and Chinese New Year?  How does it feel to be in the year of The Wood Dragon (this is a pretty frigging amazing year if you are willing to embrace it.)

As you know, I love celebrations so of course we had a lovely Chinese New Year gathering filled with awesome food, red envelopes and games!  It was delicious.  

So do you ever think “Oh fuck!”, and realise you have made the Goddess laugh her soxs off, but if you breathe into that space it’s so much better than you had planned? 

I had a huge one of those on this glorious Aquarius New Moon (and don’t get me wrong I love it when I make the Goddess laugh, well actually not when it is happening, but hindsight yes!)

So as you know Lisa Wolfe and I are doing an amazing collaboration that we were going to call The Numinous Circle, yes?  The doors would open for applications and conversations on Chinese New Year and all the rest of it.  

Well, then there was the Goddess laughing!  Yup.  I mean seriously frigging laughing!!!

She came roaring in and changed the name, the time frame, the structure and asked us both if we would like to pour even more into it (appreciating we had already), but wowzer – we have. 

The container of The Numinous Collective is so rich, so full and I’m still reeling from it all.  Thus, if you want to be on the email list for when the doors and applications open please do!

This week a huge part of the culture will celebrate Valentine’s Day (a deliciously made up Hallmark celebration),  where apparently for one day a year we celebrate romantic love (you really don’t want to hear my thoughts on this at all lol).  

I don’t know about where you live, but here all the stores (even the grocery ones) are filled to the brim with chocolates, roses, orchids and smelly cheeses!  Apparently, if you are in love these are the food groups you should eat and the objects that you should surround yourself with!  Lol.  

But what if your Love Language isn’t about gifts and objects?  What if your Love Language is about acts of service, time spent together, having a fabulous hug or snuggle?  How does a box of choccies and a bunch of commercial roses fill those needs?

I will be honest, for myself I much prefer, instead of a bunch of flowers, give me some bags of dirt, some plants and then let me play!  Or better yet, clean my windows and make me a cuppa tea, or cook me a nice dinner!  

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

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

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

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

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

Here’s a lovely, easy candle ritual for self love for you to do. 

So what are you going to do for yourself this week, to acknowledge how special and wonderful you are?

I know what I am going to do, most certainly.  

Okay, I have chuntered on enough.  When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I was delighted to see that the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle were adamant!  (And I mean adamant).  If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:

Within you beats a wild and compassionate heart, alive with fierce optimism.  Your heart knows that love has the power to conquer fear.  You have the courage to walk a path of transformation.  You are not afraid to shed old skins to become more of your divine self.  

You dream of living your highest destiny with fearlessness and joy.  You are one of the wild ones.  You will not be tamed by convention.  You will not be censored by the fears of others.  You are not afraid to be different.  You are not afraid to be open to life, to take risks for what you love, and most of all, to keep hope in your heart.   

When the loving peace of Spirit seems too far away from the troubles of the physical world the Divine Mother will hold your hands, close to your heart, or rest gently on your forehead.  She will bring you comfort.  

She’ll remind you of your fire, your boldness, your unique beauty, your passion, your courage.  She’ll guide you through even the darkest loss into the blessing of new life.  

Fabulous!  

Okay dear heart, just settle into yourself.  Allow your breath to find its natural rhythm.  Just breathe into all the corners of your glorious being, and allow in your mind’s eye a glorious vortex to start swirling. 

As it opens, see it filled with love, all sorts of love and allow it to soothe you and to remind you that you are love incarnate.  Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that dance around your heart.  

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

BLESSING TO BEGIN

You are being given a divine “leg up”, a blessing to begin.  The Divine is going to help you launch something important – an idea, a seedling of hope, a new start.  

It may feel as though something is being handed to you, as though the Divine is offering you some sacred help.  Don’t fall  into the trap of believing that because it is easy in the beginning it is not worthwhile or important.  It is!!!

Sometimes we get an infusion of divine energy into a start-up to get it going because the Divine knows how important it is and wants to give us a helping hand.  

Accept the help and opportunity that so easily comes your way now, but also remember that you are being given help because there is something of great worth here.  

If you are asking about being ready to start something, be that a project or even a new relationship, an expansion in your family or a new training program, this is your affirmation and validation from higher guidance.  

Whatever stage you are at in the manifestation of your dreams, be it the earliest glimmer of a vision or one that you have invested decades of your life to and on which you are far along the path, the gift of the Mother is bestowed upon you – her red poppy of success.  

Take a step.  You have been thinking about it.  Do it.  

It may be an actual journey or a new class, a new habit or speaking the truth to others about something meaningful to you.  Or it may be an opportunity that is about to sweep in unexpectedly.  

The Divine will protect and assist you and in taking a step, you open up avenues for the universe to bless you with all manner of resources and assistance.  The assurance and blessing of the Divine Mother empowers your own soul to take even the most apparently impossible or intimidating of prospects and turn them into accomplishments whilst growing in self-confidence and self-mastery.

So believe in yourself.  The Divine Mother does.

GRANDMOTHER DRAGONFLY HOLDS THE WISDOM

Sometimes there is benefit in focusing on the new, seeking out untried paths, developing untapped resources and exploring possibilities.  The intoxication of hope, inspiration and optimism combined can be hard to resist.  

However, if fear, boredom or lack of commitment is beneath the quest for new adventures, if we are believing that what we need or want is always just beyond the next horizon, or that somehow the grass is greener in the next field rather than where we stand, we may be dissuaded from applying ourselves to the worthwhile tasks before us right now. 

If we are an imaginative and visionary type of personality, we may rebel against the mundane tasks of applying ourselves daily to bring an idea to life.  We may become seduced by the constant thrill of coming up with new ideas, entranced with the promise of something new.

However, if we were to stop and look clearly at what we already have in our lives, we could realise that there is much of value waiting to be put to use.

The sunflower holds wisdom medicine for humanity.  

Growing from seed, it sprouts tall with a firm stalk and flexible head that follows the arc of the sun across the daytime sky.  At the end of its life cycle, as the head withers and the plant faces the earth, its vibrant yellow petals collapse, turn brown, releasing its seeds.  These seeds hold the life force of the plant, distilled.  

Highly nutritious and supportive of life for future plants and even for human beings, the sunflower’s seeds allow for life to continue to expand and flourish on earth.  

Do not step away from what you are cultivating, even if it seems to have lost its steam, run out of energy or be utterly dead in the water!  There is something within what you have been working on that is going to yield something of great benefit.  

There will be much more success, prosperity, happiness and maturing of your ultimate life goals and journey in tending to what is already further along in development than in something new.  

Grandmother Dragonfly offers you vision that is wide and unlimited by preconceptions.  

You may need to look differently at what you have nurtured and how to tap into what it has become to be able to share it with others and allow its sustaining grace to nourish human life in its own way. You will help people in many and varied ways.  It is all a part of your  natural development and you can trust in it.  

There is no need for you to ever be impatient or doubting of this.

SHE TAMES BY LAYING DOWN THE STAFF AND ROPE

My ways prevail.  I subjugate the lower to the higher without any force.  

Through my ways, correct alignment to the higher divine order is established. 

My authority is supreme, yet I’ve no need to enforce it.  Devotion to me is absolute, yet I bestow freedom.  I show you now , the whispering way to tame great force.  I initiate you into the way of strength without coercion, the way of attraction without demand.  

Follow me and learn the art of feminine power; that fear shall always succumb to love.

There is something that you want to attain.  A situation exists that you would like to change. 

It may be something in your way of thinking or being, or a habit of your body or mind.  It may be a pattern within your emotional world, or an actual physical situation or obstacle you wish to change. 

Perhaps you want it transformed completely, or perhaps you simply want some of the rough edges smoothed.  

No matter whether it is a small or large change that is desired, you have been attempting to bring it about through exertion of your will.  Now there is a time and place for such approaches. The strength of the human will should never be underestimated.   

Yet there is another way, a gentler and more peaceful way, that will evoke little resistance within you and help you attract what you want rather than to have to carve it out of your own blood, sweat and tears.  This is the taming power, the magnetic lure of attraction that can tame even beyond the capacity of will.  

The way of gentleness takes great strength of will.  But it is will that redirects the pushing, striving mind rather than the action of willpower that seeks to mould the physical world or control the people in your life, to have them act as you wish. 

It is a way that attracts the devotion of others, and draws to you the aid and support you need, yet you are not required to grasp for such generosity.  

You must be willing to become empty in order to be filled.  

You must be willing to accept the very thing you wish to be transformed.  You must be willing to become flexible in order to stay true on the path.  You must be willing to become childlike in order to be wise.  It is in embracing what is that empowers you to transform it.  

You can, of course, choose the other way; to pursue, push and direct.  However, you will find it an uphill battle all the way and it will only get you so far.  This way holds more finesse, attains a greater result and will lead you further along your spiritual path as you learn that the opposites are only an appearance of reality, not reality itself.  

You can then manifest through invitation what is offered from the heart space.  There is no control here; and yet, you will seem to command an army whilst ever your heart is pure and remains true to peace.  

What you want is possible. Striving will create friction where surrender and invitation through love will create affinity with the goal.  

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

And if you want to keep up with when The Numinous Collective is available, add yourself, we would love to journey with you!
