Stopping to Smell the Roses in a World on Fire.

Gorgeous Soul,

Happy May.

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

But May?

May arrives differently.

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

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

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

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

And grief is funny like that.

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

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

So instead, I spent the day with my horde.

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

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

And honestly?

That feels like the energy of May itself.

Blooming. Softening. Rooting deeper. Opening anyway.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But instead consciously turning toward what we want more of.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gorgeous One, breathe, just breathe.

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

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

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

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

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

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

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

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

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

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

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

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

✨ Between the Waterfall and the Flame ✨

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

(How not to white knuckle April!)

Gorgeous Soul,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is the medicine of April.

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

And here’s the real magic…

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

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

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

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

And ohhhh… this one carries some fire.

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

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

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

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

Because this New Moon is fiery.

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

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

Move.

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

And then… direct it.

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

Write it down. Speak it. Claim it.

There is something here that wants to grow.

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

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

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

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

It can alchemize.

So you might find yourself gently, quietly asking…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RA! RA! RA!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GYPSY COLOMBINE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LADY LUCK

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

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

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

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

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

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

Equinox Rising: Balance, Blossoms & Bold New Beginnings.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Okay, have to ask – are you going to wear green tomorrow? It is going to be Saint Paddy’s day after all!

It makes me chortle to see the people who pull out the green tee shirt saying something like “Kiss me I’m Irish”, and maybe 2% of their genetic makeup is Irish, lol.

As someone who is 50% Irish, I most certainly going to be wearing green and an Irish t-shirt!! (And no it doesn’t say kiss me!)

On Friday (March 20th), we welcome Ostara (Spring Equinox) , that most delicious place of change.

Ostara is named for the goddess Eostre (see the ties with the church!?)

Because Ostara celebrates and honours the spring equinox, it is – much like Easter – directly linked to many elements and symbols of springtime.

These include rabbits, chicks and birds in general, eggs, baby animals of all sorts, blossoms and flowers, fresh green grass and plants, the first fruit, vegetables and herb offerings of the season; light, warmth, and soft, bright colours.

It is an invigorating, terrific point to reach and one that encourages us to take our cues from nature and to focus on areas such as balance and harmony, planting new seeds and setting fresh goals in our lives, fertility (which can simply mean areas that we wish to have multiply.)

It is a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world.

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

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.

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.

So as mentioned before, if you want to dive deeper, learn some lovely rituals etc. give yourself a copy of OMG! (Ostara Magickal Guide).

Oh yes, and for those of you who have emailed and asked about Rooted information about it will be coming out soon, as there are many glorious things burbling.

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

These are glorious new guides that I have been having a lot of fun with, so please let me introduce you to them.

“Banish “not enough” from your vocabulary. You have always been enough.

You deserve all the love you keep trying to give everyone else.

Listen to the dream song of your soul.

Let it remind you who you really are.”

So darling one, take a lovely glorious deep breath. Allow the energy of Ostara to swirl around you, teasing you, lifting up your hair and tickling your neck. What are your seeds? What are your intentions as we start this glorious season of Spring?

If you want to go deep. One of my gifts to you is a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation, to help you root into this time.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a look, shall we?

INDULGE THE WHIMSY

Play is at the heart of every creative endeavour.

Play creates meaning, increases resilience and promotes health. The secret to living an enchanted life is to remember playfulness.

It lives in you as a magnetic force, deeply influencing every creative thought, relationship, project or endeavour. If you want to breathe new life into the adult world of responsibilities and requirements, engage your play.

Climb a tree. Listen to a fountain. Sing with the birds. Allow yourself to spontaneously skip down the grocery aisle or stand outside in a rainstorm. Follow the fireflies.

Then, go one step further and put play on the schedule.

Prioritise it. Court the wonders of the natural world.

Now is the time to discover that you are one of those wonders.

FLY THE WINGS OF WORTHINESS

The days of doves descending from the sky with messages of peace and belonging are long past.

Today, your promise of “more” is delivered through the radiant women you meet. In the powerful sway of nature’s embrace. In the rush you feel when dancing or creating.

You encounter your own worthiness when you allow yourself to receive.

And when you allow yourself to walk away when someone denies reciprocity or can’t meet you in mutuality. This moment is about owning your worthiness, and doing the work to heal the places where it has been wounded.

Cultivating worthiness is important.

So is recognising where your worthiness is denied.

Get up from the table when love is no longer being served. Go outside. Look up. The doves are circling, as is new belonging.

You are equal to and worthy of every beauty the heavens bestow.

BRAVE THE JOURNEY

Now is the time to journey. Say yes. Explore.

It’s time for travel, adventure and the unknown.

You travel not to discover new places, but to meet the new you created while experiencing those places.

If it’s not an outward journey beckoning, turn inward and explore the stunning vistas, lost horizons and secret forests of the psyche.

Living in the mind alone is akin to owning a castle, but restricting yourself to the broom closet.

Don’t settle for what others have told you of adventure. Pursue your own, right now.

There is only one way to unfold your own myth, and that is to be willing to brave the unknown.

Wowzer, those were glorious guides. So my delicious lovely, another free gift is a beautiful ritual to plant your Seeds of Intention. Equinox blessings and see you next week! Remember to get your Ostara Magickal Guide!

Last Reading of 2025 and Blessings for The Holiday Season.

Jenny Heston · 3:03 pm ·

Happy Last Reading of 2025.

I think we can all agree it has been a year, and here we are amidst the holiday season prep and doing.

I do invite us all to remember that for some this season is most challenging, they may feel alone, have lost someone, feel overwhelmed or a myriad of other things.

As we just welcomed the Winter Solstice on Sunday, it opened the door into Winter for us.

And for those who asked if they can still join The Omen Days Jo urney, yes!

Our amazing Solstice gathering was recorded and we start on December 26th. So come join us all, it will change how you end the year!

I will keep the doors open until midnight of the 23rd. and then they close.

As I head into my Winter Break and walk the Omen Days Path.

This is a magical season full of transformation and deep internal work.

It may seem counterproductive to pause, rest, and reflect.

However, remember that your worth isn’t defined by what you’ve accomplished.

Slow down and be fully present in activities that truly bring you joy and pleasure. Before you know it, Spring will be here, so enjoy these quiet moments of rest and solitude.

So why not create a to-do list for this Winter holiday that captures your inner child.

What would you like to do to bring more holiday magic to the season?

With so many obligations during December, find time to slow down and read a book you enjoy.

With the longer nights and colder days, it’s a perfect time to snuggle up and relax.

Pick something purely for pleasure or a non-fiction book that can help you learn something new or change your perspective.

Spend time in reflection and creating the space for the next year (and no this is not a TO DO thing), that’s why we do The Omen Days (and yes, it doesn’t start until the 26th so you have time to join.)

This is about really looking at what nourishes your heart and soul at this time.

Yes, there are some family obligations, but if spending 2 hours with Uncle Mervin makes you want to pull your hair out, then only spend an hour – and have boundaries!

Okay enough of me chuntering as we all have stuff to do!

Let’s crack on with the reading. When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week as we head into the dark and the shortest day I was tickled to see who hopped up.

The glorious guides who were adamant are the Sacred Destiny Oracle. So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do.

There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet. However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be. This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment.

These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “

I seriously snorted tea out of my nose when they appeared. Why? Re-read the last two lines.

Okay darling one. Please take a moment to just relax. Don’t worry about if the lights look great, or how you are going to deal with Uncle Tony at the Xmas dinner. Just BE here NOW. Take a massive deep breath out first through an open mouth. Then allow your breathing to find its open delightful, rich rhythm and let your shoulders drop.

As we have just lit the third candle of Advent, Joy, the candle of the animal world.

Let me ask what does Joy feel like to you right now? Is it elusive or is it permeating your being.

Breathe.

If you want to play with Joy a bit more I have a guided visualisation for you.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go look, shall we?

STAYING FOCUSED

Be clear about where you are going. Do not compromise!

Follow your dreams; you deserve the best. Prioritise your life.

Once you decide on a direction, hold the course. Do not veer. Do what’s important, and release the rest. Place your intent and passion on one thing, rather than scattering in many directions,and you will be successful.

On the path, it’s easy for the traveler to be distracted by people, events, and even shiny objects. Do not take any side roads. Stay the course.

Keep going, no matter what emerges on your path that distracts you. It’s easy to get lost and forget where you’re heading. Recommit yourself to your destination.

What you focus on is what you create, so put your attention on what is worthwhile, beautiful, and inspiring.

Refrain from focusing on what’s not working: only focus on the direction you want to go.

MIRACLES

Just around the bend, a miracle is waiting to happen.

Release fear and uncertainty, and majestic wonders wait to unfold for you.

Watch for them and embrace them. Some come in an unlikely form. Trust that all is unfolding for your highest good. Expect miracles in your life.

What is expected tends to be realised. The more you become aware of the small marvels in your life, the more you will grow in magnitude. Celebrate and cherish them when they appear, no matter how small they may seem.

What others see as ordinary, you see as wondrous. Look at your life in a new way. Let go of fear and expectation, and allow the Goddess to solve your challenges in mysterious and wondrous ways.

Don’t limit the way you think miracles can appear in your life. All is well.

FARAWAY PLACES

Stop playing it safe.

Get ready for new horizons and change in your life. A journey is coming.

It might be to foreign lands or faraway places, or may be an inner shift that changes your destiny. It’s all beneficial. Sometimes we can feel wobbled when we are not in our normal surroundings, however, you are safe and protected. Good fortune ensues.

Part of the glory of travel is stepping out of old habits, routines, and the repetitiveness of everyday life. It can feel daunting, yet in no small way your life is a spiritual voyage. Change is coming. Things are not as they seem. There are no wrong turns; every adventure and missed-venture is part of the course.

You are on a pilgrimage of the soul. Keep your metaphorical bag packed; some unexpected experiences are ahead. Be ready for anything. The joy of travel is that you can begin to experience the everyday as if you are seeing it for the first time.

Nothing should be taken for granted.

Absolutely perfect! How did that feel for you? Wishing you a stupendous Holiday season. Remember to play for goodness sakes and don’t get caught up in what you think it “should look like”, sending you massive warm hugs, big gingerbread kisses and golden light! Talk to you in 2026.

What Does Peace Mean as We Spiral Toward Solstice?

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

How are you, truly? How did that Gemini Full Moon land in your body and your bones?

We’ve just moved through a windswept lunar peak — a dispersing, airy brightness that asked us to pause, listen, and gather ourselves before the final descent into the dark. We’re now in the waning half of the lunar cycle and the waning arc of the solar year, and both luminaries are whispering the same thing:
A long, slow exhale.

A softening into sacred wintering.

And this — this Sacred Wintering — is exactly why we walk the path of the Omen Days. Many of you have been eagerly asking about it, and I had hoped to release everything today. But with two sick adults and a sick toddler in my care, the universe had other plans.

So here’s the update:
The full Omen Days teaching, the signup page, and all you need to know will be arriving mid-week.

And alongside it?
The glorious Book of Winter — fondly known as Soul Season — will also be released.
She is rich, magical, layered, and ready to hold you through this deep and luminous time of year.

Quite a few of you reached out over the last week saying you felt scattered, overwhelmed, or completely “out of sorts.” A few even used the word “fucked”—and honestly, I felt that too. My own energy ricocheted from panic to anger to anxiety to “everyone leave me alone” to “wait, maybe don’t leave me entirely alone.” It was bizarre, disorienting, and very Mercury-meets-Gemini-in-the-dark-season coded.

Then, on the night of the Full Moon, I did the forgiveness ritual from Soul Season, and the peace that came flooding in was divine. Nourishing. Resetting.

The kind of peace that feels like your soul finally unclenches.

Which got me thinking about Peace itself. Not the fluffy, surface-level version, but the real, embodied, sensory experience. There’s a beautiful children’s book by Vladimir Radunsky where kids from around the world describe what peace feels like. Their answers are everything:

What does peace smell like?
Peace smells like a bouquet of flowers in a happy family’s living room, or pizza fresh from the oven.

What does peace look like?
It looks like a cat and a dog curled up together, or the soft glow of newborn babies.

What does peace sound like?
It sounds like a silent day. Raindrops falling. No bad words.

What does peace taste like?
It tastes like vanilla ice cream… or your favourite food times two.

What does peace feel like?
It feels like the hug you get when you cry. Someone stroking your back. A tiny shiver, but the good kind.

Kids tell the truth adults forget.

Seasonally, this past week aligned with the lighting of the Advent candle of Peace — connected to the plant realm: the roots, the stems, the leaves, the quiet green life that nourishes and heals us. I love this reminder: Peace is not theoretical. It’s embodied. It grows.

And of course, this all leads us directly toward Winter Solstice — my beloved threshold of the year. Solstice is that exquisite moment when the old cycle exhales and the new one inhales. I can feel it weeks ahead, humming under everything, asking us to reflect, to return inward, to listen.

This is the season that naturally brings forward the big questions:
Am I showing up the way I’m called to? Am I living the life that wants to live through me?

As Autumn falls away and Winter rises, we enter the realm of descent — emotion returning to form, water returning to earth, light sinking lower and lower. It’s the most inward, yin part of the year, even though our outer world demands noise, speed, and performance.

But your body knows better. It wants to rest. To replenish. To create slowly. To imagine softly. To hold Peace and Hope like warm stones in your pockets as you walk deeper into the dark.

So let me ask again, from the heart of this seasonal turning:
What does Peace mean to you?
And how can you carry it with you into Solstice?

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading.

Okay gorgeous one, settle into your body, breathe yourself back. As you gently slow down your breathing I invite you to bring up the sensation of Peace (whatever that means to you) and allow it to swirl in your mind’s eye. If you need a bit more support with Peace there’s a lovely little guided visualisation for you. Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

BATH KOL

Eschew complicated explanations, as you seek the simplicity of the deepest truth of your heart. Gently but firmly cast aside that which does not resonate as being true for your heart. Focus upon, and speak from, a higher spiritual perspective. All prayers are answered at the perfect time and in the perfect way. You have a powerful voice, which can foster healing wisdom on our planet.

Bath Kol is a mysterious creature. She is an angel known as the divine oracle, the daughter of the divine voice, the pure and true sound of spirit. When she whispers to your heart, you feel it as an inner knowing, a truth. To honour that inner knowing likely requires the confrontation of fear or moving in unexpected directions.

Even so, the deep resonance of her truth is more powerful than the resistance we may initially feel as we let go of our limited perspectives and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.

Often an inner spiritual call requires a leap of faith. A more authentic, awakened you is coming to life. Paving the way for the higher self to manifest typically means that fear and control based approaches need to be surrendered. Honouring Bath Kols guidance requires courage but brings rich reward on many levels.

Acknowledge your true voice. This may be the voice in your own heart which needs to be heard without judgement or censorship. It may be an intuitive inner knowing to be recognised. It may be a loving and helpful voice of a reliable guide or friend whom you know can be trusted. It may be a teaching from a dream or an insight from a meditation, or even an inkling that certain happenings or sightings are signs from the Universe to help you on your life path.

Practise your power of discernment. Filter ego from heart. If a point of view lowers your vibration, makes you feel negatively about yourself or another, increases your confusion or makes matters seem more complicated, it is likely to be an ego-driven viewpoint. To consider what you might be able to learn from that viewpoint, you need to settle yourself on more authentic spiritual ground.

DVARA PATRA

Out of confusion, a clear and progressive pathway is opening up for you. It is an auspicious time to give generously of yourself to others, enriching the quality of your connections, expressing spiritual blessings of goodwill and encouragement from your heart. A powerful blessing is entering your world. A prayer is now being answered in a beautiful way. Spirit gives freely and generously of all the goods things, and the task of humanity is to learn how to receive. The key to receiving is an open, surrendered, generous and trusting heart.

The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice. It is a powerful, living, regenerative and deeply healing symbol of hope and blessing. It will interact with each soul in its own way. For your soul, that may involve a recognition that the light is always seeking you, wanting to fill and heal and bless and protect you, to initiate you into awareness of the realms of light, beauty and divine presence.

It may remind your heart to receive, that you are capable of being a channel for goodness, grace, abundance and pure light. It may be recognised as a sign of a future blessing, of something truly desired finally coming to pass.

The sacred grail is hope; it is a blessing. It is both a portent of fulfilment and the inner means by which we connect with the loving language of light and truly receive. In Sanskrit, patra means ‘goblet’ or ‘vessel.’ In learning how to receive, we also learn how to be received, how to be fully beheld, which is an expression of unconditional love. The sacred chalice reminds us of our potential to hold, but also for the generosity of the Universe in providing for us so we, too, can be held and receive all we need.

Dvara is Sanskrit for a pathway, an opening or portal, a doorway or even a means or method. Your deepest fulfilment is via the receptive faculty of the sacred feminine. The feminine way is organic, creative, responsive, spontaneous and effective. It is not constrained by our human perceptions of what is or is not possible.

To honour and empower the sacred feminine genius in our lives requires a considerable shift away from mainstream, conditioning and into spiritual surrender. Allowing her method, rather than blocking her loving creativity in our lives, entails the movement from head to heart.

As you invert your priorities from ego to soul, you’ll invert your locus of orientation from head to heart, from outer to inner reality. You will trust what your heart knows, whether or not it makes sense to your logical mind – or to anyone else’s for that matter.

YOGINI OF 285 Hz

Changes in your life, including closing doors or missed opportunities are not going to derail your fulfilment. Realignments are happening based on divine wisdom and timing. You are being diverted from unnecessary obstacles and suffering. Trust in how your life path is unfolding. Stay true to your authentic healing journey, because it is working, whether you realise that or not. Significant inner healing is taking place.

In numerous spiritual traditions of the East, such as those from Nepal, Tibet and India , the yogini is a female spiritual adept, a practitioner of deep yoga that awakens a powerful connection with one’s real inner being. The yogini holds space for healing and enlightenment, moving through obstacles and challenges with wisdom, patience, commitment and often great joy.

She is our spiritual sister, our sacred friend and our guide away from the bleak, erroneous thinking of ego into the softened, awakened, relaxed, gracious way of Spirit.

My darling you are on a powerful healing journey to connect body, mind and soul with the truth of your spiritual nature. You are working at an inner level to let go of past pains and open up to your empowerment and grace, dignity and legitimacy in the present moment. There is a spiritual approach to heal any and all struggles in your life.

If you feel disoriented or conflicted about a choice, trust that this chaos is a consequence of a cosmic realignment with your life path. Move through it with trust in your heart, patience and a willingness to keep the faith, knowing you will eventually find your way. The adjustments taking place within you will affect your outer world.

Just like the tumultuous alchemical journey of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, your inner transformation shall shape you and your world into the beautiful, inspired, and authentic form it is meant to be.

And stay tuned, Gorgeous Soul — this mid-week brings the unveiling of Omen Days, the signup page, and your invitation into the radiant practice of winter divination.

Plus the release of Soul Season — the Book of Winter that has been waiting so patiently to meet you.

Let’s walk this descent with intention.
Let’s make it sacred.

Wishing you a glorious week of Peace my darling. Take a nice long slow deep breath!
