Can Joy and Grief Happen Together? The Aquarius Super Moon!

Happy Motivational, Magnanimous, Melodious, Mirthful, Magical, Marvellous, Muliebrity, Manifesting Monday!

I laughed so frigging hard last week as I used the word “Moist” in the greeting and I had quite a few people email in saying – ewwwww!

I don’t know about you, but if someone offers me “a muffin” or “a moist muffin”, I know which one I’m grabbing and snarfling down. Moist all the way baby!

This is probably the last reading until September as all sorts of wonderful shifts, creation and changes are happening in the background and so I’m being guided to focus there.

So if you want to keep up to date with all the new things are going to be happening and all the yumminess – make sure you are part of our email community!

Okay my darlings with July coming to a close we are going to explore Joy and Grief and the first of the two Super Moons of August. Are you ready? You comfie and settled?

Before we start, let me ask a question (actually two).

What does Joy feel like for you? What are the sensations and where does it sit in your body?

What does Grief feel like for you? What are the sensations that flood up and where does it sit in your body?

Both Joy and Grief are strong emotions and they land in the body and the psyche in different ways, but they are both intense, oftentimes overwhelming and in your face.

Now you may be thinking to yourself – mmmm, Jenny WTF, but be willing to dance with me, okay?

I wear multiple hats in my work and I love all of them as they blend deliciously together and all interweave.

Therapist, Coach, Spiritual Counsellor, Lay Chaplain, Witch, Business Owner.

This last couple of weeks in my Lay Chaplain role I have had the honour and delight of co-creating three radically different wedding ceremonies for 3 radically different couples.

Weddings are joyful, right? They are filled with promise, hope, commitment and love. Yet interestingly enough, all of these couples are having to learn how to juggle both Grief and Joy at the same time.

One couple, the bride to be, is having to put her best friend and most amazing cat of 18 years down, two weeks before the ceremony.

The second couple, the bride’s father, died suddenly in November, her touchstone in her family of origin. And a few weeks prior to the ceremony she had to drive for 3 days with her young son to scatter his ashes where his father and brother were scattered.

The third couple, the groom, found out that his stalwart and supportive mother has an incurable disease and may not even be alive for their ceremony.

On a personal note I have found this “most interesting” as with it being July I am feeling a lot of grief as this week is my glorious big sister Fi’s birthday and next Monday is the anniversary of her death day.

Yet there is Joy in helping co-create glorious meaningful moments for these amazing couples, as well as holding the space and fully understanding the grief they are feeling.

There is also the balance of Joy and Grief for myself as my wonderful brother in law will be here from the UK in a few weeks and we are going to scatter my sister’s ashes in the creek where my father’s ashes went and in the ocean.

So dear one, remember if you are juggling Joy and Grief it’s important to first face the complexity of the situation. Identify those bitter-sweet emotions of losing a cherished loved while at the same time appreciating the value of life, the joy.

And let’s be honest, it’s normal and common to hold opposing feelings at the same time, oftentimes with feelings that are layered with contradictions.

Despite being seemingly opposite emotions, joy and grief are interconnected aspects of the human experience. Both play essential roles in shaping our emotional landscape and influencing our interactions with the world around us.

Remind yourself, it’s okay and It takes practice to learn how to let seeming opposites coexist within us.

So let’s talk about the Aquarius SuperMoon that arrives on August 1st, which brings up these emotions as well!

(Aren’t you thrilled!)

This is the first of 2 Full Moons in August, as a lunar cycle is 29.5 days, this means we are set for another Full Moon on August 30th, a Blue Moon in the sign of Pisces.

Both of these Full Moons will be Super Moons, meaning they will be closer to Earth, and we will feel their effects more strongly.

Having two Full Super Moons in the same month indicates a strong pull to release, detox, let go, and walk away from all that is no longer resonant with our being.

So what does that look like for you?

The Aquarius Full Moon on August 1st is the perfect entrance point to this journey of creating space. It holds a sweet, healing vibration, guiding us to gently and lovingly prepare to let go of all that is heavy.

We may find painful emotions, heartbreaks, grief, and disappointments rising to the surface.

Many of you have shared that the energy has felt very emotional, deep and at some points overwhelming.

Writing things out on paper, talking things through with a friend, seeking help, or simply taking the time to have a conversation with our mental chatter can bring some relief.

This is the time to ground, be gentle with your gorgeous self and just allow all the feels to flood up and use some of the techniques above, don’t keep the feels locked in your heart, body or mind, okay?

Let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I asked the guides who they wanted to use to share with you this week, they chose these glorious guides.

So darling one, just take a moment and breathe. If you are holding any heaviness, allow it to soften as you breathe. If you are feeling in need of support and love, hold those energies in your mind’s eye and invite them in, along with Joy. The Joy of being here in this moment, the Joy of breathing, the Joy of the sun filtering through the leaves of the trees where you live.

With that energy swirling. Take another deep breath and pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look…..

AWAKENING ANCIENT WISDOM

Deep inner knowing is emerging within me.

The Universe wants you to know that the wisdom of your ancestors, your predecessors and all of history exists deep within you.

Whether you realise it or not an inner portal is opening as this sacred information pours into your consciousness.

You have always possessed innate knowledge, but at this juncture, simply by being still, you are able to access it with even greater perception.

Profound enlightenment is growing within you, even if you are not aware of it.

Trust and know that within you is a deep wise being, and your wisdom is supportive and helpful to others – even if you are questioning whether to share it.

Pay attention to the coincidences, signs, and synchronicities around you.

To understand a dream, sign, or synchronistic event, ask yourself: If this symbolised a message from the Ancients, what would it be? How can I access even more wisdom within myself? How can the wisdom of the past help my present and my future?

SHARING OF YOURSELF

I am an incredibly generous being.

You are being invited to share from the depths of your soul.

Allow others to see your essence and feel your radiance. If you give with the thought that it’s something you must do as a duty or sacrifice, you may feel depleted.

However, if you give with the belief that there’s no scarcity of energy, funds, or joy, the Universe will pour an abundance of these things into your life.

Don’t expect to receive something in return – rather, be generous just because it feels right.

You can only give as much as your capacity to receive, so open yourself to receiving even more!

Share who you are with others. Give what you have, what you do, and who you are.

The more freely and fully you share of yourself, the more freely and fully the Universe will give to you.

Ask yourself: How can I give even more? What is stopping the flow within my life? What could occur in my life if I gave without reservation?

EMERGING INTO GRACE

I open my soul to grace.

In the stillness of retreat, the gifts of Spirit will emerge at your feet.

In gratitude and thankfulness, an opening into the deepest spiritual realms is waiting for you.

Simply be ready and be open, as waves of sacred love will pour into your heart.

Allow Grace to grow within you so that, more and more, you serve as a safe sanctuary for yourself and for others.

Please remember that all is well. You can relax and let go, for your path is divinely guided and you don’t need to push, struggle or go it alone.

If you allow, gifts from the Creatrix will pour into your life. Gratitude can abound.

A spirit of Grace will unfold in your life.

Ask yourself: How does the spirit of grace want to work in my life? What has blocked it from filling my life in the past? If I truly let go and open myself to grace, what will unfold?

Mmmm, great questions, great guidance. So my delicious one, as we close out the month of July I wish you calm, joy and balance. As we encounter the first Full Moon of August I wish for you to release the weight you feel the need to carry, whether it is mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical.

I am going to take some time and space for the next month to honour my sister, visit with my brother in law, and how I work is changing. Gosh, I have been doing these readings for 10 years! So if you want to be kept updated on what‘s being created (which is fabulous), make sure you are on our glorious email community list.

So I will see you in September! (Unless my guides are adamant I do a reading! Lol).

Massive hugs and squeezes gorgeous ones.

Cancer New Moon – What do You Want and How Do You Nourish Yourself?

Jenny Heston · 4:14 pm ·

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Moist, Musing, Manifesting, Marvellous Monday!

It is so ridiculously hot here again, and I’m not a huge fan at all! It makes me feel like a crabby, wilting wallflower! And when I hear people say “climate change is not a thing”, I just want to bop them on the nose!

Anyhow, we have lots to cover, so grab a cool beverage honey, find a shady spot and let’s go explore how this Cancer New Moon ties in with the energy shift of July, and what on earth that means for you!

First let’s talk about the July energy shift.

The theme for July is: “What do YOU want, and can you HAVE it?”. (Have you asked yourself those questions?)

As Lena shares: “There are big energetic changes this month supporting the need to engage your will, good boundaries and positive action steps leading you closer to your essence goals. This may require more letting go of old invalid programs of cultural imprint as well as the courage to step forward into a new landscape.

The question of “what do YOU want” should be a daily exercise of contemplation and truth telling.

Stay out of reaction and judgement especially if your choices are taking you away from a situation you feel you have been putting up with for a long time. Do not blame or feel victimised but rather experience gratitude for the clarity and freedom you have to move forward.”

So hold that question in your mind okay?

Now let’s look at this New Moon.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon and brings the qualities of nourishing oneself and others, the Divine Mother (maternal) energy, comfort and self care. The turning inwards to find answers and to care for oneself.

Yet, so often this energy gets directed to others and not oneself.

Ask yourself: Do you feel stable and secure in yourself? Are you able to comfort and soothe yourself back to a state of balance?

As let’s be honest, after 3 years of a pandemic I am witnessing a lot of nervous systems that are on hyper vigilance, with anxiety, stress as the side dish.

So with this Cancer New Moon when you make any intentions I highly encourage you to see if you can craft your intentions and ideas from a place of inner trust.

“This requires us to go within, to sit with ourselves, and to direct the vision of our lives from a place of inner knowing and intuition. The answers may not come to us right away, but practising patience is part of this process.

Creating intentions from a place of inner knowing is about flowing with the process and knowing that the right inspiration and answers will come when they are ready. This process requires surrender and a lot of faith, but ease tends to follow when we give over to it.”

Now do you see how the July energy of What do You Want, and this deep, rich inward energy of the Cancer New Moon fold in together?

Play with it over the next few days, take some time to get clear about what you want. Not from a “thinking” place, but the well spring of your soul and emotions. Yes?

Make your intentions from there!

Okay, I have chuntered, lol (when don’t I?)

Let’s crack on with the reading.

Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them!

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul. It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders. While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless. To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known. Ancient wisdom emerges. Revelations about your future are revealed. Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you. It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. In the deepest sense you remember who you are.

Take a moment to just chill the fuck out (pardon the language if that offends), and breathe. Give yourself a moment or two to play with the ideas of “What Do You Want?” and “What are the Intentions from my Soul?”

Allow those to swirl, meld and create a glorious collage and from that place – pick the card or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

FROG SPIRIT

Renewal

Darling one, it’s never too late to begin again.

If your past was less than successful, remember this – what has occurred does not need to mandate what will occur. You can start out fresh and new.

However, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you’ve always gotten.

In order to reboot your life, you need to do things in a different way.

The frog’s three stages of development (egg, tadpole, fully formed amphibian) symbolise renewal, resurrection, and transformation.

Allow Frog Spirit to flow through you and be willing to release any preconceived notions of how life should unfold.

This is a time to be adaptable. Be willing to change, and allow the abundance and good fortune that’s waiting for you to flow to you like the water that nourishes the glorious Frog!

FIRE SPIRIT

Energy

Darling one, take action!

This is not the time to hold back in life! Do not repress what you feel or allow yourself to be drained by others. If you strive to meet everyone’s expectations and fulfil the needs of others, but forget to honour your own needs, your energy field becomes depleted and dull.

Break free of your constraints, whether self-inflicted or imposed on you by others.

Allow the summer sun to fill you and your radiant heart with verve and passion. Give your emotions free rein. Waves of energy will surge through you as you spontaneously express yourself.

However, running on your own resources can be depleting. Allow the Creatrix to flow through you. Be open to receiving, knowing that you don’t have to do it all yourself. This replenishes your soul and supports you in accessing enormous amounts of energy.

The power of Fire spirit is renowned.

One of the four primal elements, it traditionally represents transformation, passion, zeal, enthusiasm, creativity and activation. Let the energy of fire inspire action and movement for you now.

Ignite your inner fire. Speak your truth and let the light of the Creatrix surge through you.

SECRET SPRING

Success

Sweetie, all things are possible!

The more you honour and celebrate the success that you already have, the more success pours into your life. And the more you feel it, the more love, prosperity, fame and all the rest of it, you will have.

Act as if – and feel as if – you are wildly successful, and even more success will develop.

Accept that you are already thriving – you are – and the more wonderment will emerge.

If a situation seems to knock you down, get up, and take a moment to explore what you learned….and then keep going.

In Celtic tradition, secret springs were magical.

Allow success to flow into your life. Allow the vitality and glowing renewal of your body to occur.

Now is the time to take action in support of your dreams.

There is no need to struggle.

The Creatrix has your back!

Mmmmm Yes! Glorious guides for this delicious energy! Wishing you a stupendous week. Stay cool, drink water, do things that soothe and nourish you, ask yourself “What do I want?”and remember – you are a glorious spark of the Divine or you wouldn’t be here! Big hugs and squeezes!

Possibilities and the Buck Moon.

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

Happy Mysterious, Marvellous, Musing, Magickal, Mellifluous, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Solstice? Did you take some time to soak up the sun’s energy and light your inner flame? The things that make you feel filled with passion, hope and joy? I hope so!

I took the day off work and the whole day was splendidly delicious. A couple of the ways I celebrated was to go for a walk in the woods and watch the sunbeams dance amidst the myriad of green branches and light up the moss.

Then, down to the ocean, the same spot where my sister and I visited 5 years ago and celebrated Solstice.

The same spot where the Solstice intention I set then came to pass exceptionally quickly, and changed my life in a way I couldn’t imagine.

There I offered up the beautiful Sun Wheel that I had woven of ivy, St. John’s wort, ocean spray and feverfew – all filled with my releases and my intentions. It was incredibly powerful to cast it on the ocean and watch it gently float further and further from shore, as it slowly unravelled.

Yesterday, we had a glorious Solstice gathering within Creatrix Circle, and I will say I love the women that are in this circle. They blow my hair back with their openness, their vulnerability and their depth.

And for all those who have emailed and messaged saying that they missed the open spots for the Solstice Reading Special and will be another one – the answer is possibly at the Equinox, we shall see.

So let’s talk about Possibilities shall we?

I bring up Possibility as with the Solstice just passed, this is the time to really look inwards and outwards and see what you can create, manifest, call into being or try.

I was listening to something the other day and a Chinese Medical Practitioner shared that when someone dies of old age what is really happening is their heart stops believing in Possibilities.

So when someone dies of old age, their heart no longer sees possibilities for that lifetime and their spirit departs.

Sit with that for a minute. Mull the word Possibilities around in your mind for a moment.

On a deep and tangible level Possibility opens our heart to the experience of life.

Possibility is the very thing that makes life worth living. That gives our Spirit something to live for on this planet.

The opposite of Possibility is when we feel stagnant, stuck, trapped or confused. Which we all experience at some point or another and is one of the most blaugh feelings in the world.

However, what is happening here is your Spirit is asking you to perceive Possibility again.

Possibility is asking this question – “What opportunities are here for me?”

Possibility is looking at a dead end and seeing that the path continues. You may not know where it’s going, but it’s there waiting for you to see it and take a step onto it.

Possibility opens our heart to the truth of life’s wonder and connects us back to where we are meant to be, which is allowing the Divine to dance with us.

Possibility opens the portal of our perception.

…….and most often times our perception is rather limited.

When we are in the mindset of Possibility we are able to see new ideas, innovations, ways of being that we couldn’t see before.

So ask yourself this question – “In my dream of dreams what would be possible for me?”

The minute we step out of our daily routine and rut we are opening ourselves up to greater Possibilities.

So are you willing this week to play with Possibilities?

Possibilities and the Solstice energy tie in deliciously with the Buck Moon energy which is coming in on July 3rd.

The spiritual meaning of the Buck Moon is a powerful time for abundance, strength, passion and possibilities.

This moon is a lovely time to reflect on your life and decide what steps you’d like to take next. What vistas are you willing to perceive in your life? What are you open to?

Make time for fun and joy!

Turn off technology and be present in the joyous season of summer.

Find activities that fill up your soul with happiness and pleasure as this is when possibilities come flooding in.

So with all of that chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the guides and cards and asked who wanted to show and shine – the deck that came out loud and proud this week is Love Your Inner Goddess Oracle. Perfect! As we could all do with loving ourselves a wee bit more and being a tad more gentle and kind whilst we open up to all the delicious possibilities that are available to us.

Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them – “These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth.

Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK. Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you. You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true.

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

Seriously, the perfect guides for this time. Woosah!

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

If you need help with getting into the flow, there’s a lovely guided visualisation for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

BRIGHT DESTINY

To become truly yourself, shining your divine beauty and light, you will go through a process of releasing what is no longer right and true for you.

Like the caterpillar who sheds the chrysalis when it is time to emerge as the butterfly, you will let go of the person you once thought you needed to be.

This can feel freeing, exciting. It can also seem frightening.

You may feel crazy sometimes, trying to hold onto a past that is no longer available to you and grasping for a future that is yet to be.

Sometimes, it can feel like a dark night of the soul, filled with questioning and confusion.

Others may not understand what is happening, and you may feel as though you can’t really explain it, either. In such times, we have to trust that all the changes and uncertainty are part of a process of growth – letting go in order to open up to something amazing and new.

This is happening for you now. You don’t have to be afraid. You are going through this because you are ready for it, even if you think you’re not.

There is a loving reason for all of it, even if you cannot see that right now.

Put your faith in the mystery. Trust that the answers will come – and so will the joy of all that you have grown into. Stay true to your path and know that you have a bright destiny ahead.

For now, let the process happen. Fear can make us try to force something that isn’t quite ready yet. Don’t try to impose a meaning, take action or understand it all prematurely. Don’t think too hard!

It’s OK to relax and trust that the moment of clarity will come when the time is right.

PRIORITY OF PURPOSE

Making a choice can be hard, as if to say yes to one thing, you have to say no to fifteen other things! Remember that saying no is just saying, “not right now”, rather than “never”.

There is a higher plan for your life that includes all of your passions. You can do it all, but just not all at once.

Your soul knows how to build your most inspired and beautiful divine life, as though it were building an extraordinary temple for your spirit.

It knows that the foundations need to be prepared and the walls built before the windows, doors and skylight can be installed. The roof may be absolutely one-of-a-kind incredible, but if you try to lay the roof before you’ve built the walls, you are going to have some problems!

There is a certain order to how things need to happen, which the soul intuitively knows.

That is why listening to the soul and trusting your inner guiding voice makes more sense than trying to accomplish everything straight away and ending up with so much less than you deserve for all that effort.

Every moment of patience and sacrifice that you make now is stored up by the Universe as a sweet grace that you will receive back later, as everything falls into place so perfectly.

Tune in and trust your soul to show you how to gain everything you ever dreamed of, one simple step at a time.

EARTH GODDESS

You have beautiful dreams and wonderful visions of what life could be. It is not enough to imagine them. You want to live them! This is exactly how you are meant to feel.

For that to happen, you must practise feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life. The Universe will send so much help your way, but you are the one who must take the steps. Spirit cannot do that for you.

Even if you are not sure how your biggest, boldest dreams can come together, you can still ask yourself, “What is it that I can do now?”

Sometimes, it will be an obvious action that you can take, and, sometimes you will need to pray and meditate and ask for the way forward to be shown.

When you can do something, do it. When you cannot, rest and wait for your intuition to nudge you when the time is right to take action.

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

There’s a fantasy that wants to become reality for you. Don’t let a few gritty moments or human imperfections prevent you from experiencing the joy of heaven on Earth.

Oh my gosh, I so love my guides and the cards. Perfect for this time! So my most glorious one, I wish for you a stupendous week filled with Possibilities and the energy of the Buck Moon. There will not be a reading next week as it is Canada Day here and I am going to dance with adventure and possibilities. Huge hugs!

Summer Solstice – Ignite Your Inner Flame – Your Internal Sun!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Manifesting, Merry, Magnificent Monday!

Solstice is here in 2 days!!!! And for all of those who have asked – YES! There are a few spots open for the Solstice Reading Special (which ends on June 22nd), and YES! The Solstice guides will be available until June 23rd.

We have literally just had the Gemini New Moon -with Gemini ruling over communication, the New Moon in this sign emphasizes the importance of effective self-expression.

So with all that swirling around – Let me ask – how are you feeling?

Right now the Sun is at the height of its power. And so are you.

This month, with the sun at its height–its peak–your own corresponding, internal flame has the potential to also reach its peak.

Your own inner flame–your internal sun–represents your confidence, you drive, your ability to create & take action in the outer world. All these things are being affected by the outer sun; and all these things have the potential to reach new heights this month. (Melded with your ability to express yourself and communicate.)

Think about it, in our Northern Hemisphere Summer Solstice is the longest day and the start of the heat of the summer. The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created.

It’s the Heart of creation.

This energy invites you to lead from your heart, find your voice, to guide, to shine and share your heart, words, work and all sorts. (Are you ready?) If you need some ideas on how to be like the sun on Solstice, I have 5 of them for you.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy.

Litha (Summer Solstice) is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities, a chance to dance with the Fae. After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline. Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest.

It’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself.

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the Fall.

If you want to really tap into this potent energy, grab SASS (Stupendously Awesome Summer Solstice guide).

OKay enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to ask which guides wanted to share Solstice with you, these glorious ones came to play, which made me grin. Now, if these are new to you – please let me introduce them.

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth. There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms. All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us. We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent. These wonderful beings are here to help.

They not only take care of the Earth, but they work hard to take care of us. We are familiar with many of these beings, such as angels, faeries, and elves. There are many more we are not conscious of, but they, nevertheless, contribute to the workings of our planet. Remember as you go through your day, to ask for help from the elemental world whenever you need it. The need is never too small to call on their help. It is through helping us that they advance in their spiritual development. We are their work. We in turn can spiritually evolve through allowing them to help us. To all these amazing beings we say Thank You.

Perfect!

Okay glorious one, take a breath. Breathe in long and deep and just any shit go. Breathe into the energy of the sun, the fiery, rich energy. See the light of the sun filling you from the tips of your toes to the ends of your hair. Allow it to warm you, fill you, nourish you and help you find your voice and passion.

If you need a wee bit more support, I have a lovely guided visualisation where we go for a wee meander and play.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that ignite your inner flame.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

ACORNS INVITATION

You are being invited to touch the world, to enter into a somatic relationship with the world around and within you. To experience the vitality of the life force that exists in everything, including you, and including your body, with which you may have a conflicted relationship.

The faeries know that your body is a beautiful sacred expression of the spirit and an essential part of the self.

They teach that when we reach out and touch, not only do we connect with another, but we are touched in return. Thus through the act of physical communion we are touched, held and nurtured.

It cannot be otherwise.

The impact of touch is so underestimated, but this faery man reminds you that without touch, you can become sad, depressed, unwell and your immune system weakens.

While you are alive in your current form, this faery wants you to know that you must touch and be touched to be whole. Physicality is your friend.

Hug, hold hands, rub a back, get or give a massage, rub feet and connect.

Allow a butterfly to alight on your finger. Pat a dog. Stroke a cat. Look into someone’s eyes while you sit with knees touching. For this touching is healing, and touch has the ability to uplift us, comfort us, soothe us, cure us, and make us vibrate with bliss.

THE SECRET PATH

Faeries love country paths and wooded ways that twist and bend and take shape, but that are mysterious and very bright and dark, spooky and sweet all at the same time.

Likewise, your own path must have both light and shade, and it is never straight!

Faeries walk their paths to revive the land, and they take rests at special trees and wells, as do you, in your own way, create magick when you are true to your path.

You are being drawn down a path that has the potential to lead you to a rich source of wisdom – one danced and sang and dreamt down by these faeries you now see. These faeries would have been spoken of in the old ways as “trooping” but here we would say they are following their path: swiftly, joyfully, singing and dancing their way to a destination that will be full of riches and joy, profound learnings and deep initiations.

You are being beckoned again to rejoin your path, and perhaps your first steps will be to wander a little, to travel, and see where the lines of magick within the earth herself take you.

Paint your body with a little of the earth, and let the earth on you sing to the earth beneath your feet, and soon the song will be alive in your blood again.

You are also reminded by the faeries that you can walk your path, be dragged along your path, meander from your path, slow down on your path or dance and be joyful on your path.

How you walk it is empowered by your unique self’s intent, and as you already know, intent is the heart of many a matter.

Take steps again to be on your path.

Reconnect with the song of the land that sings in your blood, and you too, like these beautiful beings, will be called home.

STAR DUST

This beautiful faery seems somewhat unsettled. She is listening, waiting, reaching out to the galactic web to try and put together pieces of the information she is receiving.

For she has experienced a premonition, but as these things go for us all, we are never entirely certain of what will happen, and when. Only that something will happen, and soon.

And so she reaches out to what we humans have called the heavens. She looks to the cycles beyond those of this earth and wonders if we are all in the process of major change, a change so profound we have not yet found the words to describe it.

She understands that the premonition she has is about cycles that reflect those on each, but she is unsure what to make of what she is feeling and sensing.

So she looks to the night skies, at a time when there is peace, stillness, and quiet, and gazes up above at the lifeforms and planets and the stars and their galaxies, and knows she has lived beyond this dimension, and that what might be reaching her is significant far beyond her life, magickal as it is.

As she gazes up, there are baby stars and dying stars. There is stardust, which is sent out by the dying stars, and breathed in by the nebulae and used to form their new star-selves.

This is a true premonition. It is not an empathic moment, where she feels the strange feelings and sensations of another. She has had a postcard from the future, and from a place far beyond her home. And so she waits and knows that while her premonition is as ephemeral as light as stardust, she knows too that it is powerful, and will create ripples throughout all time, and all places.

It’s time for you to return to source and rewrite the soul contract so that you can change and move into a new stage of life, a new incarnation.

In order to make sense of these feelings, you may need to be alone and in the dark, dancing with the night sky to work something out.

Seek connection in the night sky – when you can see other constellations and galaxies – and understand your own stardust self and origins.

Allow the clues and messages to come, don’t worry about the clarity right now.

Yummers! May you light your inner flame gorgeous one and use your voice, heart and soul to express your unique glorious self. May the sun remind you of how strong you are and have a glorious Solstice! Sunbeam kisses and big hugs.

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun at Solstice.

Jenny Heston · 5:45 pm ·

Summer solstice, also known as Litha, is the longest day of the year, but it’s only the very beginning of the summer months with the hottest weather yet to come.

Litha is one of the eight traditional Pagan holidays when daytime energies are at their strongest, radiating mega-doses of vitality and love.

The Sun, seen from an esoteric level, is all about love and wisdom. It’s the primary ray of energy from which everything else is created. It’s the Heart of creation. The Sun never fails to shine, always “rises” to meet us, and sustains life on Earth.

This year, Litha falls on June 21st – a time when those of us who practice magic speak of drawing down the Sun. This means connecting with prana or life force, both within and without.

To draw down or bring out the Sun means harnessing radiant solar energies in order to have the confidence to let yourself shine and be seen. It’s affirming that you’re strong, vibrant, loving, warm, and filled with light.

Litha is the Sun’s day, and the Sun is the center of our solar system. It brings us all back to our center, to our hearts, and the creative source of everything.

The Sun rules the passionate, creative, and proud sign, Leo.

Leo is motivated to share and lead from the heart and become the brightest, fullest version of itself. With the Sun at its maximum power, Litha’s the perfect time to recognize all the things, small and large, that you’ve created and shared with others.

It’s also time to honor the leader within you and how you continue to express more of your most authentic self.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy. Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest. I

t’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself.

Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall.

5 Ways to Be Like the Sun

1. Be the Light

The Sun is a star, and its job is to shine! So is yours, in your unique ways. No matter what happens around you, you always have a choice to see, be, and share the light. What I mean by light is love. Whatever you’re doing and wherever you are, choose that love and give it away freely. There’s no prescription for how this looks, so get creative and just do you – in the truest, sincere, most authentic ways you know.

2. Take the Lead

Solar energy is motivating and naturally attracts attention. Use that power for good and be the best example you can. You may not own a business or directly work with large groups, but people look to you. Notice who they are and think about what they see. Every time your inner sun comes into someone else’s field, it makes an impact. It radiates its energy and infuses people, spaces, and places. Be a leader with your energy and set an example worthy of following.

3. Co-Create

The Sun represents the principle of co-creation and animates the entire zodiac. It doesn’t exist alone and wouldn’t mean anything without the rest of the solar system to interact with. In the tarot, The Sun card is about working with others in ways that inspire you and the world. To be like the Sun is to find people who share your passions and bring all that energy together to make something purposeful. Creatives need each other to stay creative. We’re not meant to do this alone. Find a way to connect and make something exciting happen.

4. Act with Integrity

What do I mean by integrity? I mean acting from wholeness by integrating body, mind, heart, and spirit. Most simply, you act with integrity when you’re true to yourself. It’s so easy to think or feel a certain way but act another, which causes a division within you. Some animals, like horses, are especially sensitive to this inauthenticity. They can feel the conflict and won’t trust someone who’s acting out of alignment with their emotional energy – like pretending to be tough when truly afraid. Integrity takes personal work, practice, and honesty. To act with integrity, you have to be honest about where you’re at and what you’re doing. When you know your ego is reacting, own it. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not or commit to doing something you’re not ready to do. Be honest about your feelings, even if it’s a little uncomfortable.

In astrology, the Sun is the planet of integration. Your Sun Sign is the energy through which you’re integrating yourself. If you’re a Libra, it all comes together through relationships, balancing extremes, and cooperation. If you’re a Sagittarius, it all comes together through searching to find more meaning and following your true path. We’re all in the process of integrating our higher and lower selves. With awareness and practice, you can align your thoughts and actions with your heart and higher mind.

5. Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra or Manipura color is bright yellow, like the Sun. This center is located just above your belly button and is the powerhouse of your energy system. Balancing this chakra helps you confidently stand and act in your power. If your Solar Plexus Chakra is underactive, you might feel powerless or uncertain. If it’s overactive, you might become overpowering and arrogant. Humility is part of this chakra’s medicine. True strength is humility. This chakra is also where you manifest all the things you create. You can think of your Solar Plexus Chakra as the Sun, radiating warmth and light into life. Activate this energy center to rest assured of your capabilities and to make things happen for yourself. Below are some tremendous Solar Plexus herbs, oils, stones, deities, and mantras you can work with.

Solar Plexus Herbs/Oils: Calendula, cumin, helichrysum, lemon, neroli, turmeric

Solar Plexus Stones: Sunstone, yellow aventurine, pyrite, yellow apatite, citrine, golden healer quartz, tiger’s eye

Solar Plexus Deities: Agni, Athena, Ma’at, Pele, Ra, Sekhmet, Xiuhtecuhtli

Solar Plexus Mantras:

“I am strong, capable, and powerful.”

“I stand in my power.”

“I am the leader of my life.”

However you choose to welcome summer, and long past it, I hope you’ll find ways to grow and feed the light for the benefit of us all.
