New Moon

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ready to pick?

Let’s go have a looksee, yes?

Nimue

Between my two hands lies the power of all that is; the connections between the Earth and the stars, the realms through which you can move to bring about your deepest desires and dreams. But do you dare to dream it? Are you courageous enough to declare your desire? I can create, but I will not be brought froth when you do not have the fortitude to commit to your change. Make a commitment to thy own self now – she, who you truly are, is worth this trust, this pledge, this courage you must have to birth your own changing self. For I am gentle, but I too have no more time to spend if you wish to waste the jewels life has given you. I will turn away, because it may not yet be your tiem. Only you can say it is not so, and walk forth into your new self, with me as guide and light, with transformation as your nature, with your incarnation without material death as your truth.

Do this with me: Bless theyself. Love thyself. Know that you are beyond your own imaginings. Act this day, this hour, this minute, and change will flow. Do not hesitate. Be transformed now!

It is time for you to free yourself from the confines of others’ expectations and investigate other less conventional ways of making a living. You may be drawn to a particular crystal at this time, and may enjoy simply entering into more regular communion with the element of earth and its minerals. Wear jewellery that has been cleansed by you, and energised by you, and understand its significance and power for you. Make each piece you choose to wear a totem symbolising your own self, adorning and expressing who you truly are. Above all, the message of Nimue is to free yourself. Stop expecting others to unshackle the chains and force you to walk free. You, and only you, can remove that which is holding you back.

The Listener

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

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

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

The Time Guardian

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

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

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

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

Holy Hannah it’s almost New Moon and Equinox! Weekly Reading September 18th.

Jenny Heston · 2:00 pm ·

Happy Monday, happy new week, happy nearly New Moon and Equinox! (Happy glorious day to you delicious lovely!) How are you? Did you take some time in the last week to rest, relax and play? I pushed it a bit too hard over the last few weeks with work, staining, staining and more staining (I think there should be a staining recovery group) and my body finally said – meh, this is not fun and so we are going to hand you a lovely little virus that is going to make you feel like shit, slow down and sleep. Bugger! I am a very grumpy sick person to be honest, however, I have paid attention and took the weekend to read, sleep, eat soup, sleep and read. Although I did push a tad and insisted on building a gorgeous arbour header, stained and mounted it on Saturday, which I am very happy I did. Every time I look at it now I smile. Why? Because it is beautifully shaped and it has all the phases of the moon carved and cut out of it and that resonates for me. So once I had finished that I donned a big sweater, made a cuppa tea and curled up in a big garden chair and read my book and watched the chickadees attack the sunflower heads with vigour.

We head into birthday season tomorrow (note I said season), as there are 3 of us in September, 3 of us in October, 3 of us in November and 1 in December! Can you say – ribbon by the largest spool possible? It’s my son Ry’s birthday on Wednesday which is also the New Moon and mine on Friday (the Equinox), so we are going to have a joint celebration of birthdays and Equinox! Whoot! Whoot! Ry very kindly gifted me as my birthday present the new book from Brene Brown called “Braving the Wilderness”, it just came out on Tuesday and if you haven’t got it – go get it!. I was reading it this past weekend and wow, she blew it out of the park again. It’s about the quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone. As Brene says – true belonging is not about fitting in, pretending, or making the people around us comfortable because that’s safer.

I don’t know about you but there have been times in my past where I was most certainly a chameleon and tried to ensure others were comfortable even though I most certainly wasn’t. Not a great way to spend one’s time that’s for sure. So it was interesting to see which deck wanted to come play this week, I most certainly thought it would be the Divine Circus however, it is one of my other new decks, The Isis Oracle and it’s very appropriate actually as it addresses the fact that you are a powerful soul who is awakening. The crystals that wanted to come play are Amethyst, Smoky Quartz and Rose Quartz and of course Selenite as an amplifier.

With all that being said I invite you to take a moment and just settle into your body. Feel your feet on the earth (give your toes a little wiggle even if they are in shoes), lengthen your spine and roll your shoulders up, back and down. Breathe gently in through your nose and sigh it out through your mouth. Give your shoulders another roll up back and down and when you feel ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you. Trust yourself.

Have you picked?

Shall we go see who wants to work with you this week?

INITIATION

When you are being spiritually initiated into the mysteries of light, love and power, there are moments of deep challenge. The key is to find the light within the challenge – the learning, growth or wisdom that can be summoned to turn the challenge into an opportunity for healing. Initiation will occur at various stages. Sometimes your entire life will feel like an initiation, at other times specific areas will be flowing easily whilst others re deeply challenging. Please know you are not needlessly suffering. If you can find the light within the struggles, tests or challenges that face you now, you will experience breakthrough healing.

As an Initiate, honour life as a gift and treat any challenge or pressure as a way for you to grow into a brighter and purer light capable of great spiritual service on this planet. That spiritual service includes growing an ability to be able to love freely and beyond limits, to love with courage and faith.

In fact initiation for you now, dear one, is an opening to new levels of power and peace, self-possession and love. There are such sweet fruits waiting for you at the top of the tree you are currently climbing. It may seem as though you are in barren land at times with little hope, nourishment or encouragement, yet your spiritual oasis is not far away! The Lady Isis and the Power of Ra together are helping you grow. Stay focused on the Lady and Her love for you and you shall pass through the desert of the Initiation unharmed and deeply transformed.

MAGICK AND RITUAL

Effect in the external world can be created through inner practice. Magick and Ritual can support your Divine Path now in the physical world and you are encouraged to enhance your power with regular practice. The results that you experience will encourage you to continue with the practice as you grow in power, grace, love, ability and wisdom, and apply your inner beauty to transform your outer world.

For us to grow empowered and potent we need to honour our knowing and being and cultivate sacred practice. Sacred practice becomes the habit of growing our spiritual power and consciousness. Like a garden needing regular care and watering to blossom and flourish, our inner garden of the Soul, where our creativity, joy, spiritual gifts and bliss bubble away, also needs regular attention. Coming to our practice takes strength and inner will – even though it can feel amazing, we still have to wake up, set aside time and discipline ourselves to show up for our own inner growth. We will reap the benefits when we do, but we must allow ourselves to fall in love with our practice, to craft something that really speaks to us, so that we want to do it. The desire and discipline together help us engage with our practice regularly and we can grow so fast it can be quite shocking!

You have great power and wisdom within you, but you need to provide channels for it to flow and be active and empowered in your physical life. Sacred Practice is such a channel. Without these channels, the ego is left to create on its own which is not much fun at all! The ego believes in fear and separation and no matter how much it may want to feel love, bliss, connection, joy and fulfilment, it really cannot do it without your spiritual presence in life. Choose what feels good for you and experiment with what might be a regular pattern of practice for you. You are worth the effort! Remember, whatever effort you do put in will be repaid to you in wonderful benefits many, many times over!

FLOWER OF LIFE

You are entering a fertile period of your life. Focus on your innate creativity and how potent this is becoming, and watch it rapidly grow! You are guided to think of yourself as a creative being and to surrender your control over how things will manifest and instead allow them to do so. Don’t resist change, instead flow and let it happen. Now is the time for your blossoming. Your Soul is hungering for creativity and manifestation of the beauty in your inner world, to witness it and live it in your physical world too. Much of your spiritual energy is directed into creative process and your creative powers are growing fast now. As you are gaining more potency in your creative flow, it is important that you use this growing ability wisely. Become aware of how easy and quick your thoughts and feelings are manifesting into conversations, situations and responses from the Universe. Notice how quickly your prayers are confirmed through sign and dreams, intuitions and opportunities opening up for you. You are becoming more and more swiftly that which you choose to think, feel, speak and believe.

Align yourself with love each morning so that your thoughts will serve you well and the manifestations you set in motion will be ones that enhance your life experience, rather than more of what you do not want to experience! It can require time, habit and consistency to change patterns of thought and behaviour but it can be done. You are guided now to allow yourself absolute and radical permission to detach from past thoughts and behaviours, to bear the challenge of not knowing who you are or how you will be on the “other side” of the transformation, in order to let it happen.

The Flower of Life contains repetitive patterns, each interlacing and inter-relating to the other. In this way, all that is required is to tap into one part, one element, one thought or one behaviour that relates to your desired creative outcome – and integrate it into your life. All the rest will flow through natural connection. You are in the midst of a changing pattern and although it might be uncomfortable at first, it holds the seeds of what you desire and to allow it to happen is wise and loving to the Self. Be brave, beloved one. The Flower of Life is nurturing you into a more whole expression of your Divine self.

Holy Hannah. Have I said how much I love the cards and how they work? So we have gone through Initiation, to creating a Sacred Practice to Manifestation. If you have never seen the image of the Flower of Life, there is a great article here. I have often used this pattern for crystal gridding and love it. So delicious lovely have a superb week, remember to plant your seeds with your New Moon wishes and if you are on the wonderful email list keep your eyes peeled on the 22nd as my birthday gift to you is a fun ritual for clarity, manifestation and magic on the Equinox. Remember to breathe, receive and allow and have frigging fun! See you next week or possibly Friday! Huge hugs and big love.

New Moon, Solar Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde – Wow! Weekly Reading August 21st.

Jenny Heston · 3:18 pm ·

Happy glorious Monday delicious one! How have you been? How has your week been? Have you felt at all tweaked by the eclipse energy? This last week I most certainly was – there was that sensation of not being comfie in my own body, anxiety and restless sleep, have to say it wasn’t pleasant to say the least! Thankfully there was the great outdoors, projects galore (I gutted, revamped, drywalled, painted and redid a room – I call it therapy).

So we had a solar eclipse today on this glorious New Moon and it is also the second New Moon in Leo in a row as well as Mercury Retrograde (that could explain a lot of bumps and lumps this week, yes?). Were you able to experience/watch the eclipse? It was incredible and certainly conjured up mixed emotions and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! With this being the second New Moon in Leo I think the Universe is giving you and me a very clear and strong message – this is the time for transformation, showing up and standing tall and being the biggest brightest version of yourself. Are you paying attention? All of these things are so needed now more than ever, take a look around the world, it’s time to show up, stand up, and shine. You may think people don’t need your energy, but you are so wrong and we are being given a beautiful reminder with this second Leo New Moon and the double eclipse that has invited us to deal with that steamer trunk we have been dragging around of old shit, limiting stuff and blaugh. Unpack that trunk and share yourself and your gifts!

With all that being said the deck that jumped up to the forefront to come play for this reading was “Sacred Rebels” which I think is appropriate at this time. As this deck is dedicated to “those who aren’t afraid to rattle cages, ruffle feathers and rock boats, from a place of loving service to the spiritual evolution of humanity.” Hence, we are working with them. The dwarf sunflower’s wanted to be included so they were (and then they got popped into a lovely drink of water), and Selenite as the amplifier of all the energy that is here. The most appropriate place to do this reading was on the rocks as every single rock is a crystal of some form or another. So shall we begin?

Breathe gorgeous one. Not from the upper chest breathe, but from the belly. Breathe long and deep in through your nose and sigh it out your mouth. Breathe in so much air that you can feel the corners of your belly expand and then sigh it out so you can feel your lungs contract and your belly withdraw to your spine. Repeat. Breathe. Just take a moment and breathe. Feel your jaw relax, your scalp relax and the rest of you relax as it follows your breathe. When you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you, that want to come work with you this week, that want to share their message and wrap you in a blankie or take you on adventure.

Ready – so shall we go pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

EVERY JOURNEY STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP

You are on a journey. Yes, it is an internal journey but there is also a physical expression of this journey that is going to become increasingly important to the fulfilment of your destiny in this lifetime. Your journey has started on the inside but its destination will be the physical expression of an internal healing. This journey will draw upon what you have learned and mastered over the course of your life – so much so, that you may feel as though your life experiences have prepared you just for this particular adventure.

You have all that you need within you. This is not a time to worry about what you are going to take with you. From within your heart, you will sense what needs to come along for the ride and what is best left behind you now. You may be surprised at exactly how much can be left behind without you feeling concerned or anxious. You will be able to travel far lighter than you ever imagined possible. To be best equipped for this journey, you will need a lightness of heart and the realisation that change can be an incredible blessing, even if what you are leaving behind is something you found secure, safe, familiar or comforting. Just as the butterfly leaves the chrysalis behind when it is time to spread its newly formed wings, so too are you ready to leave behind what once was and embrace what is more appropriate for you at this time.

The apparently small steps you are taking in an area of your life, important to you right now, are actually far more powerful and constructive than you realise. Sometimes we are gaining ground but the effect is not immediately obvious. This doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. It simply means that the effects of your actions are cumulative and soon they will begin to overflow into the physical world with a positive impact that my surprise you. Your inner and outer journeys are blessed with positive energy and all you need to do is keep going – one step at a time.

DEFEND TO THE END THE WORTHWHILE

Beneath the lies and illusions, pretty as they seem, you know what is worthwhile. All that is genuinely and truly essential for the heart to throb with life is worthwhile. Anything that dulls it or suffocates its vibrant aliveness, must be questioned, challenged, and more than likely cast aside, for the heart is our key to living an authentic life.

You are a sacred warrior – a defender of the heart. You have cried genuine tears of your own grief and also the grief of the world. You have felt the need to protect the presence of love, for whilst it is exceptionally powerful, it can too easily be smothered under lies and fear. Stop heading the voices that tell you “Oh stop being so sensitive! Stop making such a big deal out of things!” Love is the biggest deal there is. What else is worth being so sensitive about?

The sacred warrior is vigilant that the presence of love is not chipped away by fear, criticism, doubt or untruths. Even if others find the unflinching honesty of your feelings difficult to handle, even if those feelings are expressed with gentleness and compassion, the sacred warrior honours the task of being more faithful to love, than to anything else. This includes the fear of loss. Actually it includes the fear of anything at all.

The darkness will be intelligent and sneaky. It will tell you that it doesn’t matter, that this one time you can forget what you promised, that you are just one person and that you can’t make difference. The sacred warrior within will fight with love and honour to be true to what has meaning, and never, ever allow it to be cast aside – even if it seems easier in the moment. You’re being asked to stay strong and stand your ground. What is happening, or soon will be happening is worthwhile. So hold tight. Ask for help to heal.

WHAT IS ALREADY WITH YOU

You hold in your hand that which you seek. In other words, the pair of spectacles you have been rummaging around the house for, are sitting on top of your head. What you are seeking, perhaps by exploring far and wide, is actually right under your nose. You may not like this idea! Is is so much more wonderful to imagine there is something yet to find. Of course, there is unlimited creative potential and always something more that can be – yet in this instance, it is important for you to know that you already have what you need and what you want. That doesn’t mean it’s the end of the story, although it does ask you to give up the fantasy that a perfect solution lies in the future somewhere. Instead it asks you to acknowledge that everything necessary for success is with you now. All you need do is accept this and act with what you have available to you. This is good news. This particular chapter has a happy ending in store. That ending will become real for you just as soon as you stop trying to skip forward to the next chapter. Better to be completely present in the now. From here, the next phase will naturally happen without force on your part.

Don’t make the mistake of believing that what you need is behind you, lies with another or is yet to appear. You have all that you need to take the next step in your life and from that, all else will flow. And there is a sweetness to that.

You are more ready than you think you are. You are more prepared than you realise. You don’t need an entire army of resources to move ahead – although you may find that when you do move, many resources suddenly become apparent. All that you need in this moment is just one sweet act of nourishment. That is enough to take you out of backwards nostalgia or regret, and forwards into what is awaiting you now. Be brave. Dig deep within. And enjoy the sweet surrender.

Thank you for coming to play and listen. My wish for you this week is to thoroughly celebrate the New Moon with glorious clarity, intention, transformation, stepping up and shining – as you and what you bring are most certainly needed in the world. I also wish for you a plethora of zucchini, huge belly laughs, and deep belly breathes – oh yes, and those moments of stillness when you allow the Universe, Fairies and Magic to speak to you. Have a great Solar Eclipse and New Moon. See you next week.!

Post New Moon in Leo and Weekly Reading July 24th.

Jenny Heston · 2:30 pm ·

Happy, happy, happy glorious Monday and post New Moon in Leo (though we are still in that energy). How has your week been? Have you celebrated the New Moon and set your seeds of intention? (Very powerful to do). If you haven’t and still want to, don’t fret – you always have time after the New Moon (the first 24 hours are the most potent) and as New Moon occurred yesterday (Sunday) you always have time and space. This is the New Moon in Leo so it’s all about letting go of pain and suffering – which I am a huge advocate of. You don’t need to wear a hair vest, nor do you need to hold onto the old wounds that are keeping you stuck. Joy is your birthright and only you can tap into that (but you have to put the steamer trunk of old baggage down, unpack it, purge it and then use the steamer trunk as a cool coffee table!)

It’s been an “interesting” week here as the other weekend after a gorgeous hike, I had a fall as I was coming down the mountain – meh, was my response and just kept pushing even though I knew something wasn’t quite right (that’s putting it mildly), I hiked, worked lots, dug up and transplanted things, pushed, pushed and pushed. So by Wednesday my body decided to really kick up and get me to pay attention and slow the heck down – put it this way – I would have rather given birth (and having done so 5 times I can speak with experience) than feel the level of pain that was occurring in my sacrum, which apparently I had twisted and as I hadn’t listened and rested it went into full overload flare, so much so I literally couldn’t walk, move, do anything for a few days. Thank goodness for my stupendous chiropractor and Chinese Medicine Doctor who helped.

Ahhhhh, time to practice what I preach was the message that came through loud and clear, as I am always telling clients, friends, kids – listen to your body, rest, nurture, relax – if you don’t give yourself these gifts your body will make you. Darn! (It was made even worse when my 17 year old son repeated it verbatim to me whilst handing me an icepack!) So that’s what I did, I slept, I used ice, I slept, I used heat, I gently stretched, I slept and sat and looked at all the things that I wanted to do and “should” be doing. The first day I was angry, grumpy and frustrated – but, but, this needs to get done and I have to go there (none of which could happen at that time) and then finally I released my desire to control the outcome and surrendered to asking for help and having to let some things slide for a while and being open to receive and the gifts that came were stupendous! A full reconnect with Divine, gorgeous time just watching the bees and the hummingbirds satiate themselves, following the flight of a huge bald eagle as it circled languidly overhead for about half an hour, playing with crystals and making some glorious pieces for clients and beautiful conversations with my kids (as I had to sit with an icepack they would come out and share their thoughts, feelings, confusion, delights and we would just talk). It also allowed my boys the space to create, nurture and show up in a different way and so cheesecakes were made, laundry was done, daily vacuuming and just a totally different level of care, tenderness and awareness – they were amazing and exceptionally lovely.

So it made me think about breathe, receive, allow and come home. Rest, sacred rest. So I have created a little visualisation on that topic as it is so incredibly important. Rest is not wasteful, selfish or weak – rest is vital, important and courageous. We don’t have to do it all on our own, but sometimes we need to get out of our own way and create space to allow the Universe/Divine, friends, family, random strangers to offer their gifts and be willing to receive them as a gift. Because they are.

So with that being said (I have seemed to have chuntered on a bit), let’s get on with the reading. This was done outside with the crows chortling to their babies, a squirrel doing a mad dash up the trellis and a dragonfly sauntering over the reading. We are working with The Divine Circus this week, which is interesting as I thought it might be one of the other decks, but no – this lovely deck literally jumped into my hands. The crystals who chose to come are Mookaite – a stone of here and now, Sodalite -a stone of idealism and truth, Pink Tourmaline – cleansing the emotional body of destructive feelings. Here is your visualisation and if you want to skip it, all good.

So take a moment, breathe and drop back into your body. Listen to the visualisation if you feel inclined, or just breathe and see yourself as a conduit as you breathe in pull the earth energy up through your feet. As you breathe out through your nose breathe in the glorious Universal energy. See them flowing up, flowing down as you breathe. You are a glorious conduit and can tap into these energies at any moment at any time. When you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you this week. Trust.

Are you ready to go see the message or the energy that wants to work with you this week?

STEAMPUNK PRIESTESS

Appearances can deceive; yet when the time is right, incisive intuition slices through the illusion and the truth hits you between the eyes. That is the perception of reality behind the illusion. You know it when you experience it and you know that you have to trust in what you see! So give yourself permission to acknowledge and accept the power of those insights. Don’t talk yourself out of the truth. Intuition might only last for a second; and yet it can change the way you look at things forever, setting you on a more authentic course and allowing for changes to take place that you might have previously believed were impossible.

You might need to look closer to understand what is happening, or to trust in what you are already perceiving, even if a part of you doubts it because the truth of the matter in such cases would be so at odds with superficial appearances. Trust in your insight, no matter how startling, surprising or shocking that intuitive hit might be.

Get focused on what matters to you, then you won’t lose precious energy by either worrying about what could go wrong or trying to sort something out in your head. When the time is right, even the most confusing situation is going to come into focus, and your understanding of the matter, and what you need to do or not do, will be crystal clear. Set an intention for clarity and trust in what you see!

THE PROUD PIERETTE

If you were proud of who you are and everything you have learned in your life, free from shame, guilt or judgement, what would you choose for yourself today? The choices you make for yourself from a place of feeling good are going to be more loving and helpful than anything from a place of self-judgement. You’ve nothing to regret, you’ve learned a lot and you are a beautiful unique being on a wild divine journey. Be kind to yourself. Keep your head up! Then it will be easier to keep growing and glowing.

If you feel that life is getting you down, or you should have, or could have, made different decisions in life – you are doing a great job! You are meant to have learning experiences. What matters is that you choose to learn. And you do! In your own time and your own way, you make sense of things, and you grow wiser and stronger as a person.

If you feel any ridicule, judgement or shaming is coming from those around you – trust you are stronger and wilder and more beautiful and true than any of that mean-spirited fearfulness. Let the mud that is being slung slide right off or remain stuck in the hands of those throwing it your way. Keep your sense of inner dignity intact. Never make yourself smaller to placate the fear in another’s heart. Take pride in who you are. Be proud to be you! And know that this is a way to respect and honour the creative loving power of the universe that created you!

DATE WITH DESTINY

Out of the ether and into your life, she arrives now because you have a date with Destiny. She is a mysterious creature; her ways are wild and her guidance is true. She may create chaos from which a new order can emerge, but there is no need to fear. She has come to inspire, uplift and direct you.

A date with Destiny is a big deal. It is the moment when you realise there is something helping you out, something intelligent, powerful, wise and, no matter how empowered you are, something even more powerful than your own efforts. All bets are off! Nothing is held sacred and anything can happen. If you are a control freak, this will probably scare you witless! You need to trust Destiny’s interventions on your behalf, even if her work seems to be causing your best intentions to go astray. Trust or go mad because you cannot control her. And you do not need to! Your divine destiny is your best life. It is you in the fullest and most beautiful creative expression possible. It is what you want and need, even when you don’t immediately realise it, even when that is rather different to what you once thought you wanted and needed.

The Universe has heard the prayers in your heart, and life is going to answer them by rearranging what needs to be rearranged to sort out whatever has been troubling you. Make sure you let it happen. The more you allow yourself to trust in her, the more you will realise that the universe is working with you, rather than against you, and if you are willing, it will show you the time of your life!

So glorious one, I wish you a supreme week. Remember to practice sacred rest time, play time and just BEing time. The laundry, the inbox, the dusting can all wait. You have this moment, make it epic, fun and delicious. Oh yes, and don’t use a mixed bag of frozen veggies as an ice pack – they do eventually leak down your bottom!

I would also like to say thank you for the myriad of delightful emails last week, I most certainly appreciate them and thoroughly love and enjoy connecting with you all. Oh yes, remember – Breathe. Receive. Allow. And Come Home.

Weekly Reading April 24th and nearly New Moon!

Jenny Heston · 3:02 pm ·

Happy, happy delicious Monday and so good to be back! Quite a few of you were delightfully delicious and emailed me at the beginning of last week saying – “Help! I have missed your reading, what has happened?” I really appreciated that, and as I said in the reading of April 10th I was taking time on Easter weekend to connect with my wonderful family and just play. Which is exactly what I did. We hiked, explored the woods, had a 2 km egg hunt, made glorious food, napped and just relished the relaxed time together, it was frigging awesome! I hope you too had a glorious Easter weekend and found time to relax, laugh and didn’t eat too much chocolate (I have to say I didn’t eat any this year!!)

So here we are and it’s nearly New Moon (which happens on April 26th)! Whoot! I love planting my seeds of intention and desire at New Moon. It’s a glorious way to remind myself what I am really choosing to manifest, be, do and have in my life as I believe it is important to embody one’s intentions and desires. For example, if one of my desires was to feel more “present and centred”, then it is up to me to do something towards that, such as making time daily to meditate, go walk in the woods, write, paint, dance or just watch a ridonculous movie that makes me laugh out loud. So setting my intentions and New Moon wishes are great for keeping me on track and accountable, in a quirky way. If you need to know more on how to harness this great energy, then pop on over here. So even though we have had tons of rain, I figure that is perfect for planting seeds, yes?

Okay, let’s crack on. Remember, as always I highly encourage you to take a brief chunk of time for yourself and just get relaxed, breathe into your belly and be willing to be open. If you would like a short little visualisation to help you tap into that delightful energy of centred willingness and being open to receive I have you covered on that!

Ready to pick? Breathe, trust yourself and be open, or at least – be willing to be open……

Shall we go see who would like to work with you this week?

COME TO LIFE

You are the most sacred of all sacred artworks. You are bringing yourself to life now and this is how it must be. Of course something being essential doesn’t mean it will always be easy. You must support yourself and have courage during this process. Your monkey mind is not to run the show. It might have a lot to say and at times it seems very convincing, but it is not the one in charge. Your mind can inspire you with ideas. However, it is the real you that speaks through your rebellious sacred heart and is living your life, not the monkey mind. The mind is not much more than a swirling cacophony of habitual reactions.

Coming to life means feeling. It might bring joy but it could equally bring sadness, rage or fear. It could bring all of these and more. Feelings will come and go quite swiftly when allowed to flow. You might need to paint, write, enact ritual, sing or dance your feelings to help the energy flow. Don’t hold back. Create the space for yourself to do it. In this process you are uncovering the artistry of the universal creator. The message you are being given is “BE ALIVE”! Don’t imagine you can go back to sleep. You are too awake for that now. There is no falling back into old ways. If you do so, it will be short lived and won’t feel the same as it used to.

You may grieve this. You will certainly (eventually) celebrate it. You have crossed the threshold from an old way of being in an old life and try as you might, you cannot return. It is better to let it go. There is another adventure awaiting you now. You need a deeper connection to your own instincts, body, feelings and intuition so that you can receive this new calling. You can trust in it, too. Embrace it and it will embrace you.

NEW BIRTH, GUARDED VIGILANTLY

In every creative process, in every birth, in every opening of a new cycle of life, there is a time of vulnerability. This vulnerability is natural and appropriate. It is the foal learning to become steady on its legs Those legs will become remarkably powerful in time, but the process of growth and maturity has to take place, and that requires some wobbly first attempts. It cannot be any other way.

Within you, there is fresh new life emerging like a vibrant green shoot rising up from the earth. This new life is in need of your attention and your care. This could be a new relationship that needs tending with interest and kindness. It could be a new idea that you need to nurture into fullness, because it is going to hold special purpose for your life path. You will not always need to cloak that which is young. Soon enough it will be able to stand up for itself, but for now, your vigilance and care is most certainly required.

Hug your ideas to yourself as though they were a new lover you cannot bear to share with another. In time the world will be the lover receiving the love in your idea. For now, it is for you to love, for you to hold and for you to observe. Keep your sanctuary pure, this may be your room, a sacred place you visit, your own body, into which you retreat in relaxation or meditation. Sometimes you will find that others have taken up residence in your sanctuary. It is time to focus on the purity, light, love and compassion that dwells within you. Everything else will come and go, and that is just fine. But the purity within your sanctuary is eternal. Firmly denounce any intrusion upon the new life by doubt, fear or sabotage.

CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS

There is a call for more intimacy in your immediate relationships. There is an opening for heart to heart communication that can salvage and restore a broken relationship or friendship, if you are willing to honour your differences and look to what unites you. We are not here to judge each other, just to love, to be loved, and to let go of those that cannot accept us as we open up to those who can. It may or may not be obvious at first but kindred spirits are going to enter your life to help you connect with your deeper feelings and creativity. They will give wings to your inspirational ideas and big dreams.

Sometimes webs that have joined people together are broken and that is appropriate as people may outgrow what once held them together. Sometimes the ties that bind us together are so strong that they are able to withstand a great deal of pressure and still remain intact. The webs of connection between us will sever or sustain, based on the higher wisdom of life itself. Either way, healing happens in the resolution of our feelings and we are once again able to feel free, forgive and be ready to move on to the next stage of relating either with a person who has been in connection with us for a time, or with someone new.

Remain open to healing connections and to allow people to be close to you. Trust in the process that draws people in and out of your life. Resist nothing and seek wisdom in all.

So remember to set your seeds of intention and desire at the New Moon. Also, do please remember to make some time to relax, play and allow your inner essence to burble away and swirl up with glorious ideas. Oh yes, and for all of you who ask about the crystals – this week we have Angelite, Moonstone and Sodalite. See you next week!

New Moon
