New Moon

Birthday Month! Time For a New Story and Celebrations!!

Happy Melodious, Musical, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Majestic, Manifesting Monday! I know I said there wouldn’t be a reading this week, with it being a long weekend – but apparently my guides had a different idea! So who am I to say no, when they are uber clear (envision Doc Martin boots and a black tutu).

This is my birthday month and I am committed to celebrating it full out, creating different things, playing, and really revelling in the month (and there are going to be all sorts of gifts and things for you as well!).

Why?

I love September (I know for some that sounds weird), but I love the impending Fall, it’s a time of harvest, a gathering together. The mornings are crisper, the days are still warm, but there is that sense of change. Kids are going back to school, starting a new class and making new friends. The lazy, hazy days of summer are winding down and there is a shift in the energy that invites us to try something new (even if you aren’t school age) and to be willing to release the old that may be a tad too tight (like a kids running shoes).

There is also a sense of melancholy for some people when Fall starts to whisper with her crisp breath. The leaves are going to change and then drop from the tree and the days are most certainly getting shorter – and for some this can feel uncomfortable and lonely. Which I can totally appreciate. But it doesn’t need to……

Fall Equinox is almost here (and I love this celebration). It is known as Mabon and is the second harvest. This festival is a time to look at the seeds that you sowed in the Spring, on every level, and reflect on how they have manifested. Most crops are in and the fields are beginning to look brown and are slowly going to sleep for the winter (unless they are filled with gorgeous orange pumpkins). This is a time to celebrate the abundance and the harvest, as well as to make plans for the winter and to create community. But we will explore that more over the next couple of weeks.

The energy of September (according to the ever amazing Lena), is TIME FOR A NEW STORY. Remember in August was MANAGING THE SHI(F)T and July was TWO STEPS FORWARD AND ONE STEP FOOT BACK.

As Lena shares:- “We are certainly tired of the old one and feeling restless, irritated and ready to start something new. The future, however, is still intangible and unclear. We find ourselves often floating around in the shadows, making several much-needed trips back into the underworld to deal with karma, clear our past and release the attachments to old ways. September is not an easy month as we navigate the balance between what is pulling us back into recapitulation versus what is being offered as an opportunity to rewrite our story. It will do you no good to “wait it out”. The demands of this time require an interactive relationship between yourself and your story. In order to change it, you will need to step up your relationship with spirit, your guides and allies, and your authentic self.

So what New Story are you willing to create?

The first step in a new story is to let go of the old one without anger, disappointment or judgment. The more neutral you can be about what is leaving your field, the easier the process. We have come now to a place where it is near impossible to be in denial about what needs to change. There are influences that require a good look at what no longer serves as well as providing good (if not fun) opportunities to release, complete karma, and clear the decks. We are being worked by the inevitable and the quicker we all get with the program, the faster we will be able to manifest this new story. The discomfort and irritation comes from resistance to embracing responsibility for your own change.

Only you can create a new story for yourself.

Okay, I have chuntered a ton (not a surprise), so let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide this week, the glorious Faery Forest Oracle were adamant, which made me smile a lot. If this deck is new to you please let me introduce your guides (as that is always polite). “Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.” Re-read that last line about inspiring and urging us…… totally ties into the energy of a New Story.

The crystals that were insistent to join are:- Lemurian Seed – healing is remembering our spiritual self and that time is an illusion of physical incarnation, showing how to move beyond all that is. Black Snowflake Obsidian – helps to draw emotions to the surface and to examine harmful thought patterns. A good choice for past life work, heals old karmic patterns and helps in examining harmful thought patterns. Chrysocolla – a stone of communication. Its very essence is devoted to expression, empowerment and teaching. The serenity of its turquoise-blue color discharges negative energies, calms, and allows truth and inner wisdom to surface and be heard.

Okay, take a moment and come back to your body. Just breathe yourself back. Allow in your mind’s eye the desires, goals and yearnings to flood up. What is your New Story? Breathe it in, welcome it in. If you need a bit more support there is an easy and quick guided visualisation for you.

Ready to pick?

Shall we go look?

SHE WHO LAUGHS

There is within your life now a great heaviness, an earnestness, and a sense of great gravity to nearly every situation unfolding. Yes, this is of great importance, and yes, there are consequences to consider. But it is time for you to receive the healing power of laughter, the power that lifts the darkness and releases energy that is stagnant, cold, and heavy from our energy field, indeed from our limbs and cells and hearts.

For you, this laughter is as necessary as surgery at this moment, as it will shake loose the cords strapping you tightly to burdens you no longer need to carry.

Let the light break through, and laugh – as without laughter, there can be no perspective, without laughter, there can be no movement forward, without laughter, there can be a sense of deep abiding resentment. Lift this!! Let She Who Laughs begin to help you seek out moments, people, and situations that stir the sense of the ridiculousness within you, and let the healing and the release of laughter roll through you and lift away the pain at the centre of your being.

Its time is passing. It will melt away with tears of laughter that fall and cleanse and free you from the past….For now, the sun breaks through, and your eyes shine once again with mirth and joy.

Welcome back to the world of delight, friend. It’s time.

THE ANCIENT

The Ancient is so old she is almost beyond time. She is able to speak the truth without compromise – as are you. She is so old, has experienced so much, learned and taught so many lessons, that she has become powerful and influential, just as you are becoming, too. So too are you growing older, coming into wisdom. She knows that while others are now going to come to you for advice and guidance, she sees your humanity – your faults and your flaws and your feelings of unworthiness. She wishes to reassure you.

Others will come to you, seeking knowledge, awaiting a blessing, an initiation, and oblivious to the consequences of the path they wish to walk. Wisdom, true wisdom, understands complexity, and you have developed this quality. The Ancient is honourable and human, and yet more than human, and she is courageous and has made sacrifices – as have you. She sees straight through comforting illusions – as do you.

She represents ancient tradition and the challenge of defining the self, yet remaining with a tradition that you value – and this too is one of your challenges. So take responsibility in your life. You will face the battle of choice, and you will be the antidote to gurus and dominant personalities who claim to have all the answers. The Ancient recognises the challenge of being a teacher. This immersion in a world to learn the ancient arts and venerate wisdom and old ways can be expressed in many forms, but everything you are now learning has value. She is the repository for ancient secrets and the contact between worlds. She is wise – and she has learned to consider every word that falls from her lips, even as she longs to call out for freedom.

ASTRILD

When we love, we can gaze directly into the soul of another human being for a while. This in-love sensation reminds us of who we can truly be when we connect with our own self-love. We feel complete, adored, and we open wide to the experience. Energy surges through us, we crave the touch of the beloved.

We are, for a time, quite mad. The love fire has been lit within you, and you are being asked to allow your own self-love to ignite in return. You are feeling sensual, ready to make love, to explore the boundaries of physical sensation, and you wish reality would simply leave you be for a time so you can fully explore this craving and desire.

About you is the sensation of fulfilment, of satisfaction, and for a time, you will live between the worlds while this powerful experience shakes you to the core. And all the while, this faery being gazes into your heart, willing you to remember that not only do you love, you are worth loving. Astrild’s cool green gaze observes the fire within you, and will remind you again and again that to love yourself, and to love another with all of your heart, is a kind of baptism, a blessing, a ritual, and a trial by fire.

Passion is your whole world. Let the fire embrace you, purify you, and keep walking through the flames of love.

Wowzer, some delicious energy and guidance there! So gorgeous one, take some time this week to think about what you want your New Story to Be, use the energy of this delicious New Moon to do some reviewing and releasing and play! Enjoy the crispness, the smells, the beginning of the leaves changing and we will explore more of what Fall Equinox brings next week. Have a fabulous week and huge hugs and squeezes!

Two Steps Forward ,One Step Back and how to play with Via Transformativa!

Jenny Heston · 10:20 pm ·

Happy Marvelous, Magnificent, Magnanimous, Magickal, Mysterious, Manifesting, Miraculous Monday! How are you most delicious lovely? If you were in the States did you have a wonderful long weekend? I hope you took time to play, relax and just BE!

With July upon us the energy has shifted and guess what theme we are working with this month? Go on, have a guess………

TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK! (Doesn’t that sound like glorious fun?) Lol.

As Lena shares:- “You may have a negative reaction to this theme, but actually two steps forward and one step back is exactly where we need to be right now. With new energy, enthusiasm and inspiration coming in, we are all champing at the bit to get going, get moving, and get productive. However, with every push forward, there is a need to look back at what needs to happen first. Whether it is a final forgiveness, a necessary emotional clearing, a completion of a karma, some physical detox, the release of a relationship or other attachment, or simply just a need to take a second look at some plan before leaping into it, the step back is a necessary reflection to ensure the movement forward is truly aligned, balanced and something we want.

There is always great resistance to the step back as it feels like being held back against our will. The challenging obstacles that are up this month are Martyrdom (feeling victimized by the step back) and Impatience (the fear that the step back is losing us precious time and opportunity). Usually people fall into one or the other and many of you will experience both. We are also dealing with a bit of stubbornness as a resistance to letting go and embracing change.

Remember that with Martyrdom, there is always a choice and the choice this month should be to use the step back in a productive and proactive way. “

So how are you going to do that?

I have had a myriad of conversations over the last couple of weeks with friends, clients, colleagues who are all feeling this energy and some are rather aggravated and others are a tad befuddled and confused, and then there are some who are really relaxing back into it and using it to their advantage.

Personally, I have felt a burbling for the last 2 months or so now of huge change and transformation, so I have been tapping into the inspiration, creating shifts in my time so that I can listen clearly to it and act on it. Whilst also using the step back energy to clear my space both physically (I literally have hardly any clothes left now and my cutlery drawer is immaculate!) To energetically tidying up energy drains, setting clear boundaries and taking my days off to do what I’m meant to do – which is play! Which in turn enhances my intuition and creativity which feeds the transformation. So it all is like a delicious Infinity symbol that nourishes and works.

Over in Creatrix Circle we have been exploring over the year Via Negativa, the path to Spirit through darkness, suffering, and the void. Via Positiva, the path to Goddess through light, dance and joy. Via Creativa, the way of co-creation and giving birth. And we are now working with the final path to Goddess is the Via Transformativa, the way of transformation.

We are transformed, and that leads us to transform the world. The Via Transformativa is also a celebration of the other three paths’ culmination.

We are brought to our knees in celebration of the beautiful earth – of Soil, Soul, and Society – and we are called to give back. We are called to join “the dance of all creation in the quest for balance.”

What is transforming you – what has broken your heart, cracked it wide open, and called to you for change? How can you help transform it?

Thus, for this month I invite you to really take a delicious dive into the Via Transformativa energy and meld it with the Two Steps Forward, One Step Back. Using the time and space to transform so that you can step forward with alignment and authenticity.

Think of the pieces that would make up your own Infinity symbol.

Okay – now let’s crack on with the reading. When I sat with all my lovely decks and asked who felt a strong urge to come support and guide us this week The Oracle of Shadows & Light were most adamant that they needed to be front and center.

Now, if these guides are new to you, let me briefly introduce you:- “Bittersweet, Unheard, Unconventional, Rebellious, Cheeky, Whimsical, Invisible….. They’re not words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and come and consult with guides who acknowledge your individuality and strange genius!”

How perfect are they for this time? Whoot!!!!!

So delicious lovely, take a moment. Just wiggle your fingers and toes and breathe into all the corners, pockets and creases in your body. Allow yourself to breathe into the step back, the place of aligned transformation. Breathe this in and as you exhale through an open mouth let go of anything that is keeping you tight and tense. Allow your mind to calm and when you are ready ask the guides who want to come support you this week, then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to go see?

TWO LITTLE WITCHES

From out of the shadows come the Two Little Witches, solemn and sincere. They fix you with their clear green and blue gaze, and ready you for the magick that is the broom they are about to pass on to you! And what is the magickal secret of this broom?

Why, that it can sweep clear any old, stale energy that is lurking about you at the moment.

Take this broom and see it whisk all by itself once, twice, three times, widdershins around your house, your hearth, your home, and it will clear out all that is hiding in the shadows of the corners and the underneath of the rooms of your soul and home!

Widdershins is the traditional direction for clearing energy. It means against the sun, and in the northern hemisphere, to go widdershins is to direct energy in a counterclockwise direction. In the southern hemisphere, it is to direct energy clockwise.

When it is doen, they clap their hands three times, and the broom returns to their arms, and they move on to the next home that needs their help.

But now that is done, what will you fill your space and your life with? That is the greatest, and tricksiest, choice of all, but one which only you can make!

So go move the furniture and clear away what you no longer need. Whenever we make a change, we always rediscover stuff we’ve been hanging on to. Stuff that weighs us down, without even realising it was there. Time for a space clear for you!

WITCH AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Storms fly about her, electrical whips crack through the heavy air with their bites of fire, and she sits among them, hugging her hourglass, holding everything together till the force creating the change has done its work. When the Witch at the End of the World makes her appearance to you, you will know that something’s time has come. There can be no more delaying, for the change has begun. So the best thing for you to do now is prepare for this change. Find solutions to challenges that will come up when the change comes. You will be fine, by the way, and all will be well, but there will be a time of seeming chaos and difficulty. If you are prepared, and ready to let go and change, and let something end, the little witch’s countdown will not affect you as it will affect others who refuse to acknowledge that changes are coming and become fearful at their inevitable approach. There is nothing to fear, but plenty to prepare for. You will be safe, and well, and very ready to embrace the new world.

I am not wicked, but I am a witch, and changes are made when the world bends and shifts. I hold this hourglass up to you now so you know that the time for an ending is almost upon us. You can see the signs all about you – the strange weather, the hurricanes, the cyclones, the earth changes all about us – but so many simply say I am wicked for showing you this. They blame me for what they call the catastrophes, and they ignore the signs. They are with you, and it is time to be ready. We are all about to experience a huge change – and it will be for the better. But while we hold on to the old, the storms will blast us, and the land will shift, and self-healing will look like destruction.

There is nothing to be frightened of; only a voyage to weather, and you’ll make it through to the other side of the storm. The changes are part of our journey to a fifth-dimensional world, of the shift to a more peaceful planet, where shadows and light are loved and accepted. All is well.

CANDY CANE ANGEL

The Candy Cane Angel is in charge of letting you know when it is time for some little luxuries that will reconnect you with your self-love and self-worth. She, too, holds back from giving to herself, as she is such an earnest and industrious little angel – but her message is always clear; it is time for some fun!

As she says clearly to you “You know what my problem is? And you know what your problem is? No? Well, let me tell you. Our problem is that we both feel guilty about giving ourselves pleasure. See this little treat in my hands? It’s not bad, is it? It’s not evil, is it? But can I bring myself to just sit down and taste every moment of its sugary sweet delights? No. I have to wonder if it’s the right time. If I have done enough to earn this treat. To wonder why I should get this when so many do not have a single candy cane for their own selves! I torment myself with these things – and so do you! How about we make a deal? Next time you ponder a gift to yourself: a massage, a treat, a spiritual workshop, a delicious meal, time to laugh with a friend, a long rest or nap, meditation time, a space clear…..know that when you energetically tell yourself “I am way too busy for that indulgence,” you are really saying, ‘I do not deserve that!’ Well, let’s decide that you do! I am about to have my treat. I now charge you with the same quest. Give yourself that which you have been denying yourself. You do deserve it!”

Do not rationalise or talk yourself out of it any longer. Step out of the consciousness of lack and into the consciousness of “I deserve,” and grant yourself this lovely moment of luxury. It’s time for some joie de vivre and enjoyment to restage a grand entrance into your life!

I love how that reading unfolded! So sweetpea, play with the energies of Via Transformativa – ask yourself what or how you want to transform. Then use the step back energy to tidy up the loose ends, clear away the stagnant energy and align. Then watch Magick happen! Whoot! Have a fabulous week and remember to play, be gentle with yourself and most of all laugh! Big hugs.

New Moon Eclipse, Summer Solstice and Shake Up Time!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 pm ·

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Moody, Melancholic, Magickal, Majestic, Moodling, Manifesting Monday! The first Monday in June (how the heck did we end up in June already?) Time is doing some very interesting things for sure! So let me ask – how are you delicious lovely? How was your Full Moon Eclipse?

I will say that I most certainly feel Eclipse energy, but this one handed my arse to me in a paper bag! It was so interesting to witness the feelings that surged up, along with the thoughts and the intense desire to shut the world out and just curl up in the closet with a blankie and close the door! But witnessing and welcoming, without judgement, were the key things that came to the forefront.

So guess what’s happening this week? Frigging Lots!!!

We have the wonderful Mercury retrograde in Gemini, we have the New Moon Eclipse in Gemini. The Shamanic energy of the month is SHAKE UP (if you remember May was TIME TO CHOSE), and we have Summer Solstice rapidly approaching!

Okay, this year Summer Solstice (aka Litha) comes to us this Sunday (June 20th). If you are in the Southern Hemisphere it is your glorious Winter Solstice (aka Yule). And I’m so excited! As I’m sure you know by now, I love celebrating most things – heck I will even celebrate a thunderstorm. However, I love, love, love Solstices and Equinoxes the mostest (and all the other celebrations).

Now you may be thinking – Jen what’s the big deal, what does this Solstice thing matter? Honey, ask me about the ritual and intention I set 3 years ago now and what happened in the space of 2 months, that now allows me to live by the ocean! The intention I set last year allows me to do what I love!

Thus grasshopper Solstice does matter, it matters very much. It’s one of the biggest celebrations on the Wheel of the Year. We are now moving from the element Air (ideas) to Fire (Action and Passion) and Summer Solstice is the celebration of the sun, which is masculine and all about Passion, Action etc. Summer Solstice also marks the longest day of the year – Whoot!

Summer Solstice (also known as Litha) is all about abundance, growth, expansion.

And yes, for all of you who have been asking if there is going to be a Book of Summer Solstice – you bet. If you are part of our email community you will hear about it on Thursday.

Oh yes, and for those of you who have been asking if there is going to be a Solstice reading special – I’m still perking it as there are lots of things in the works right now, so I will let you know next week. Okay.

So mull over the energy of Summer Solstice and throw onto it (think of making a layer cake) the Shamanic energy of June which is SHAKE UP! (Makes me think of the Elvis song my parents used to play when I was little called – All Shook Up, except it’s not about being in Love!

Okay, so what does SHAKE UP mean to and for you? The best person to answer that is the amazing Lena.

“We are in a destabilized time of mental confusion, frustrations around what no longer works, and tremendous opportunities to approach our lives in a new way. Post last month’s powerful full moon and eclipse, we are also in a learning and integration period where we must look back to see and acknowledge what we have left behind that is no longer available to us. Do so with gratitude and faith. No regrets. We have crossed the bridge and there is no going back.

This month there is an internal shake up and external shake up. Internal shakeup is the shakeup of belief systems, your life as you once knew it, identity shifts, emotional challenges of dealing with confusion, change, doubt and trust. External shake up includes literal earth shaking, as in earthquakes and other environmental intensities, unexpected political decisions affecting greater communities and even countries, sudden losses, sudden gains, spontaneous opportunities, some doors closing, some doors opening, and the effects of other people’s decisions and changes on your life as you know it.

The internal shake up requires you to pay attention to your own truth and what is important as you adjust and adapt to a new landscape. The external shake up requires patience, understanding, resilience, community efforts and trusting in right timing. There is an aspect this month of cooperation, sharing with others and collaboration that is key to starting the rebuild of a new foundation for our collective future.

You will feel the need to find balance between personal alone time to integrate your own process, and community time to inspire each other with the possibilities and opportunities for growth and advancement.”

(See I told you it wasn’t so like the Elvis song!)

Then on Thursday June 10th we have the New Moon Eclipse in Gemini, which asks you to trust in whatever has been moving and shaking for you. Know that whatever needs to fall away will fall, and whatever needs to stay will stay. That is the nature and power of Eclipses.

On a human level, we can find ourselves labeling things or events as good or bad, but on a soul level, we understand the bigger picture and know that all experiences serve their purpose. Recognizing this duality within us can be tricky, but may also help to bring some ease as we navigate any changing or unsettling energies that flow our way.

In fact, a good reminder under this Eclipse energy is to not believe everything you think or hear!

A great mantra for this New Moon Eclipse is “Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come. All is well.”

So with all this rather “interesting”, yet inviting tumultuous energy around, Summer Solstice intentions are even more important! Trust me!

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 navigate these delicious times.

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 want to shake off the worries and cares for a bit, let’s go a bit deeper. Come for a delicious dog walk with me, okay?

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 practice feeling grounded, taking practical earthly steps, one at a time, to bring your dreams to life. The Universe will send so much help your way, bu 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 most amazing week. I will let you know about a reading special next week, and if you want to find out about the Book of Summer Solstice – come join our amazing email community. Sending you massive, massive blessings and hugs. It’s going to be an interesting month – muhahahaha. Remember to be kind to yourself and to breathe.

Solstice is coming! Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse, Peace and the Plants.

Jenny Heston · 11:11 am ·

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Solstice is coming and many of you have asked when there will be a Book of Winter Solstice (fondly referred to as BOWS). Next week at the New Moon BOWS will be available! Whoot!

I love, love, love Solstice – to me it’s that perfect balance point and the start of something new and exciting, filled with potential and possibilities and I can feel the energy of it for a few weeks before it even arrives. There is a sensation of reflection, going inwards and questioning that arrives naturally from this energy. To me this is a time where I notice those “meh” moments more and really examine my life and ask the question “Am I showing up and embodying what I am called to do?” That’s why, to me, I feel it vital to take some time out to honour this energy and work with it which in turn allows me to feel aligned. In fact I feel more balanced, connected and inspired after I have taken some time.

As the days get shorter in December, we force ourselves to get through the darkness. Now is a good season for spiritual alchemy — time to evaluate your life, and know that you’ll survive the dark times. If you’ve already put the darkness behind you, take your good fortune and share it with others. As we leave the season of late Autumn we enter the season of Winter which is brought in by Solstice (Yule). This is where we are invited to the downward spiral, the slow descent as water returns to Earth, emotion (water) coming into form (earth). The energy is descending and the light is low—this is the most inward, the most yin, part the year. Yet this is the time of year where we have the most Yang activities!

However, you can’t fool your body. When you really are tuned into your body and listen to the messages, your body often tells you things before anything or anyone else does. It wants to relax, rest, rejuvenate, replenish, create and imagine.

When my kids were little (I mean wee in age), I sent most of them to the Waldorf school. Why? Because especially in the younger years the Waldorf school encouraged creativity, curiosity, paying attention to the seasons and appreciating that we are connected to everything and that magic is everywhere. I remember a glorious book that I encountered there that depicted how as we enter winter all the little seeds, bulbs and animals would tuck up in the roots deep in the ground where Mother Earth would read them stories and sing them lullabies so they slept long and deep through the snowy, icy days until the temperatures warmed and they could stretch up towards the sun. The imagery was amazing!

Many of you have shared how the Full Moon Eclipse last Monday rocked your world! Well guess what? We have another eclipse this coming Monday on the New Moon! Are you excited lol? Now don’t panic as this Sagittarius New Moon Eclipse brings a positive, lighter, more expansive energy with it. However, we will cover that in more detail next week.

So if you remember, last week I mentioned the first light of Advent being Hope and the Stones and the Bones. This week, the second light of advent is Peace and the Plants.

The second candle of advent has been lit and in traditional religions this is the candle of Peace. So let me ask, what does Peace look like and feel like for you? Is it peace of mind? That sense of calm in you, around you, above you and below you? Feel free to share! In the Waldorf tradition the second light of Advent is the light of the plants. Roots, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit by whom we live and grow. I love the awareness this light invites, the awareness of the food we eat, the plants that heal us, the plantscape in Nature that nurtures us and soothes our souls.

Okay, with all that being said (sometimes I do chunter on!), let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to support and guide this week I was delighted to see that the White Light Oracle were super keen. Now, if these guides are new to you please let me introduce you to them.

“Let us guide you into the luminous realm of the sacred. The sacred is your heart treasure. It is that which brings light into your life. The sacred is precious to you. It matters enough that you are willing to devote yourself to it – even when that requires courage, sacrifice and growth. The sacred generates inner warmth. It brings you joy. The sacred is a healing mirror that shows you the truth of your experience, which can include a compassionate reflection of your own suffering. It shows you how to heal. It inspires and protects you. What is sacred for your heart is unique to you. Yet, for every heart, the sacred is an experience of sublime love and deep meaning. The sacred helps us remember who we are and shows us how to manifest our inner purpose.”

What delicious guides for exploring Peace and Solstice. The crystals that wiggled and jiggled are:- Rhodonite, Moonstone and Rhyolite. Yummers!

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

Did you remember to pick?

ISHTAR’S LION GATE 888

Your heart has a heightened connection with the higher realms of consciousness and light. A blessing, empowerment and positive omen shall enter your world. Doors will open for you. Abundance and prosperity are headed your way. Take care of your heart. Ask for spiritual assistance, and it shall be granted. Something negative is going to transform into something very positive.

Ishtar is the Queen of the Night, a dark goddess of loss and letting go, but also a priestess of light, who holds the keys to renewal from suffering. She is relentless in her pursuit of the path to true inner freedom. She willingly surrenders her attachments and her identities, even separating herself temporarily from her loved ones, with such boldness and confidence that she crosses into realms where others dare not go. She experiences vulnerability, and in that state discovers deep truth.

Ishatar is the capacity of the soul to integrate our experiences. After reaching the greatest depths of suffering, she emerges and is reinstated upon her rightful throne with even greater wisdom, spiritual power and compassion. She is a guardian and symbol of resurrection. You shall rise again. Those who have felt as though their identity or any other marker of security has been torn away from them are her children. They will find their way back to peace and prosperity under her auspices. If you have been suffering, an end of the struggle is imminent.

She brings a message of a breakthrough and healing, of a significant lightening up of your life and the end of a deeply challenging cycle in your life. There is a special divine dispensation augured by Ishtar’s Lion Gate 888.

Where hope has been difficult to find, or all seems lost, the light shall return and beautiful blessings are destined to unfold in your life.

AIH SOPH AUR

A way through the struggle has already been created for you, and you are being led onto that path. Your authentic soul path may include recognition and acclaim, notable success and admiration. Be grateful, but do not be dazzled or distracted by such experiences. Focus on what connects you to your heart and grounds you in the simplicity of spiritual truth, which is the practice of love, kindness and peace. This will allow for successful progress in the material world without disturbing the sanctity of your soul.

In the mysticism of the Kabbalah, Ain Soph Aur is the first and truest light. It emerges from the absolute, which is pure emptiness, beyond all characteristics, phenomena and form. The capacity to create something from apparently nothing is one of the definitions of magic. Ain Soph Aur is the Universe pulling rabbits out of hats on a cosmic scale. Because the spiritual light emerges from the spaciousness of infinite potentiality, it is imbued with endless creativity, resourcefulness and spontaneous responsiveness. Whatever is needed is made manifest, provided to the receptive heart and will benefit all beings.

Receptivity is the key to unlocking this white light magic of the Spirit. When we are open to it, surrendered to its wisdom and willing to place that wisdom above our own opinions, we are capable of receiving and benefiting from it. If we are trying to dictate its course, to contrive and control it to meet our needs as we think they should be met, then we are not being receptive. The path of control and dominance is regressive. It is not sacred magic and it is not of the Spirit.

Open your heart to connect with the higher creative and healing intelligence of the light. No matter how much our wounded minds or broken hearts may believe a situation cannot be healed, Ain Soph Aur is always there. It reminds us that, whether we can see it or not, there is a spiritual path through all troubles. That path can be so beautiful we will become profoundly grateful for the struggle which caused us to grow (even if we never wish to repeat the experience).

As you open yourself to what is – even the unexpectedly difficult twists of fate – you will become ever closer to the radiant grace and luminous clarity, which is reassuring you, healing you, guiding you and loving you.

ALPHA OF ALCYONE

A positive twist of fate and a windfall of good fortune are destined for you. Brightness and hope will alleviate negativity and give you the strength to find your way through a time of adversity or challenge. Finally, you will experience peace, love and deep connection with your true self and the Universe. Good things are on their way to you.

The brightest star in the Pleiades star system, Alcone, holds the frequency of love, the sacred feminine healing power of compassion and the grace of mercy. She is the goddess of grace and mercy, especially in the face of heart-wrenching loss. She reassures us that we will find a way through and that there is comfort for us when we need it, even if further work needs to be done before we can be fully released into a new era of happiness.

Alpha brain waves are deep, calming waves. They are what we experience when daydreaming or slipping into peaceful relaxation or meditation. In the alpha state, imagination and intuition are heightened, as such these brain waves are a gateway into the subconscious mind. If we are in stimulation overload, alpha blocking can occur. Learning to consciously switch off and relax by dropping into the 8Hz to 12Hz range helps us melt away stress and tune in to our intuition, without becoming too floaty and unfocused.

Alcyone supports us in relaxing and reconnecting to optimism, even during tough times. In such a state, we will realise that difficulties will eventually come to an end and we will be provided for. A new reality of happiness is available to us even now, as we steadily make our way to the light of a happy new start.

Woosah! How deliciously lovely. Thus glorious bean I wish for you a week of Peace and Hope with an appreciation for the bones and stones and a love for the plants that nourish and heal you. The date for Creatrix Circle door opening has been picked and it will be just after the New Moon, so make sure you’re on the waiting list to be kept up to date.

Blessings, Hugs and Squeezes! See you next week.

New Moon in Scorpio, When the Darkness comes, and Eclipse season approacheth!

Jenny Heston · 12:01 am ·

Happy Marvellous, Magickal, Magnificent, Moodling, Manifesting Monday!

How are you? How are you feeling? In the wee hours of Sunday morning we were greeted with the Super New Moon in Scorpio, were you able to take some time and explore the energy of this most interesting New Moon (and the last New Moon prior to Eclipse season)? Remember you always have a few days either side of any more for introspection, ritual, magick making or just sitting with the energy for a while.

As Forever shares: “Whatever needs to come to the surface, especially on an emotional level is going to be stirred within us. We are going to feel the rainbow of emotions that make us human. The rainbow of emotions that in many ways, are our birthright.

We come to this planet to feel. We come into these bodies for a human journey in order to experience the array of emotions that are possible. It is through these emotions that art is created, that truths are revealed, that awakenings happen, and that love can bloom.

Under the dark night of the Scorpio New Moon, we are being guided to sit with ourselves and all of our emotions. We are being guided to allow the deepest of fears, loves, hopes, and dreams, to rise up from the pit of our belly, up and out into a new space of awareness.

It is our duty to sit with our thoughts and feelings as they arise, from a place of non-judgment. It is our job to recognize that we are not our feelings or our thoughts, we are the ones experiencing them.

Lean into that idea a little longer – you are not your emotions, you are simply the one that is experiencing them.

Your emotions, your thoughts, your story, are not who you are. They are simply the cloak that you wear as you travel from room to room on this journey called life.

As we enter the darker depths of the murky Scorpio waters, it may not feel comfortable, but it is indeed, necessary. Sometimes we have to do what is uncomfortable, sometimes we have to face whatever is lurking within the shadows of our own fears and doubts. For when we do, we gain so much. In those moments of wading through what is uncomfortable; when we realize and see fully and wholly our greatest pains, we gain a strength and a wisdom.”

Now for some of you that may feel rather “dark”, which is just a perception. As we are all aware – there can be no light without darkness and the darkness isn’t “Bad”, as it is often portrayed in many media circumstances.

In fact the darkness is loving, soothing and often a time of incubation and restoration. The darkness holds a warm container for deep healing and spiritual evolution, if one is willing to play in that arena.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are heading to the shortest day of the year (Winter Solstice), and I have noticed that my body is responding like a tree. I’m pulling the energy up into my roots, down from my branches and into my core and spending more time in silence, witnessing and contemplation.

As I sat out yesterday late afternoon I watched the sky change, the light move from blue sky to grey dusk to dark and as I stood up I thought – gosh it must be late! It was only 5:45pm!! Yet I wanted warm, rich food. To go inside and snuggle with a good book or my knitting, to cocoon and contemplate. To write, to slow down and really connect with myself.

So let me ask – how do you welcome in the darkness into your life? Are you willing to welcome it in and explore it, or do you need to push it away. In essence turn on all the lights, the music and be active to avoid?

Something to ponder with the energy of this lovely New Moon in Scorpio. Perhaps do some journaling, or if you feel inclined set some New Moon intentions with the energy in mind. If you have never worked with New Moon wishes, I’ve got you covered.

And this New Moon provides some delicious energy to play with prior to the start of Eclipse season (which happens at the Full Moon this month). In fact in Creatrix Circle we are having an incredible Full Moon Gathering to work with the energy of the eclipse through ritual, magick and intention. As if you’ve been with me awhile you know that Eclipse time brings a lot of hidden things to the surface. However, we will unpack that next week, okay?

Okay, enough chuntering. When I asked the cards who wanted to come and guide this week I was tickled to see The Wild Kuan Yin Oracle jump up and down. These glorious guides have been quiet on the public front for quite a while. Now if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to would be rude).

Within you beats a wild and compassionate heart, alive with fierce optimism. Your heart knows that love has the power to conquer fear. You have the courage to walk a path of transformation. You are not afraid to shed old skins to become more of your divine self. You dream of living your highest destiny with fearlessness and joy. You are one of the wild ones. You will not be tamed by convention. You will not be censored by the fears of others. You are not afraid to be different. You are not afraid to be open to life, to take risks for what you love, and most of all, to keep hope in your heart. When the loving peace of Spirit seems too far away from the troubles of the physical world the Divine Mother will hold your hands, close to your heart, or rest gently on your forehead. She will bring you comfort. She’ll remind you of your fire, your boldness, your unique beauty, your passion, your courage. She’ll guide you through even the darkest loss into the blessing of new life.

Absolutely perfect guides for this time! As who doesn’t need to be reminded of love? Oh yes and the gorgeous crystals and rose petals were also most adamant!

Okay gorgeous one, take a moment. Breathe. Breathe yourself back into your body and just BE for a moment. As you breathe, invite in the warm swirl of darkness that holds so much richness for you and allow it to wrap you in its warm embrace. Then whilst in this space pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see what needs to be shared, shall we?

BLESSING OF THE KHATA BESTOWED

In your heart a desire for union grows, an impulse to move deeper into love’s embrace. As you open your heart, I pour forth my healing balm and my blessing. It is never too late for love. It is never too late for joy. It is never too late for connection. As my blessings vests in your heart, a path will open up for you, leading you into love’s expansive landscape. You too shall be as enchanted in love as I am, cherished and adored, surrender in love. Love’s blessing and presence finds you now. You are worthy of such blessing and shall be safe in the joy of its embrace.

In the Tibetan tradition, the white silk scarf, known as the khata, is a positive symbol that augurs new relationships with blessings for good fortune It is a symbol of devotion, and is also a visual reminder of divine blessing granted for a successful transition into a new chapter of your life in whatever way that manifests, including through a new or deepened relationship. This is your khata from the Divine Mother, Kuan Yin. It is her acknowledgment of good intention and goodwill, of divine presence in new relationships, and is an auspicious gift for new beginnings. These blessings are very special and this oracle is a vessel carrying that blessing to you now.

To receive the blessing of the khata as fully as possible, intend to open your heart and allow love to have its way. This may mean that some relationships, unable to be healed at this time for whatever reason, need to be released. This is so you can grow and open your heart more freely to those able to love you the way you wish to be loved, to those able to receive your love the way you are able to give. Remain open to love’s will, whether you understand it or not, which you can do by centering yourself in your heart. Let your feelings guide you and trust in whatever is happening now in relationships or the new beginnings in your life. You are not required to do anything except receive the Divine Mother’s love.

HER JOY RENDERS THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK POSSIBLE

I have a task for you. It is a sacred purpose burned in your heart, and you experience it as desire, as the big, bold dream that you may not dare to speak aloud. You must trust me and my power, for that is greater than any doubt or fear. I have created this task, this sacred purpose just for you. It will ask many things of you. You shall have to give up what you have been holding onto in order to open your arms to receive it.

In dropping your ideas of impossibility, and stepping into the joy of the journey, my beloved divine wild child, your destiny will be manifested through you rapidly, and all manner of miracles shall assist you on your way. Such fun you shall have in the process of discovering what you are capable of when your heart is open and you believe in me unconditionally! When you leap, do it with joy upon your lips as you squeal with glee, and know that even the trickiest ask shall be made attainable through my grace.

There is something you are meant to do. You’ve been growing towards it your entire life. All your life circumstances, lessons and situations have been teaching you valuable skills and wisdoms so that you are equipped for the tasks demanded by your divine destiny. You may know clearly what those tasks are, or they may as yet be a mystery to you. You may not be a big picture sort of person, preferring to focus simply on accomplishing the many smaller tasks before you each day. Even without the vision, this daily disciplined approach will lead you higher and higher until you have ascended the peak of your own personal mountain and can see the broader picture of how all those smaller tasks have prepared you for a bigger journey of passion and purpose.

For you to take this next step, whether it feels like the leap that will launch your destiny into an entirely new level of manifestation, or whether it just feels like the next step (and not a particularly significant one at that) on your journey, you are being guided. To truly take this next step, no matter how big or small you may imagine it to be, you must let go of doubt, fear, hesitation, judgement and control. Now that is no small task!

At a certain point in the journey, when we have learned to surrender judgement, and learned to open with increasing acceptance to all experiences that life delivers – even the ones we would prefer never to have to repeat – we will be ready for this new way to be.

You are being called to that place. It is simple but profoundly high in frequency. Whether you recognised it or not, there is a wellspring of joy within that never dries up. It is not always easy to feel it, and that is part of the mystery of human experience. Yet the time has come when another step is upon you and you need access to that joy within – the high frequency it releases within you – in order to take that next step on your life path.

There is nothing that is impossible. Approach your decisions from a place of joy. Follow your bliss. Do what you love and learn to hold love for your process, even if it is during a dark or challenging time. You are promised an outcome. Remain open in your heart and mind, and the Divine Mother shall orchestrate an offering according to the perfection of her joyful grace.

SURRENDER SENSITIVE SISTER, BE MOVED BY THE MOON

You know what you know. Even when you don’t know how you know!

I speak to you through that knowing.

The institution that is beyond logic. The feeling that has no physical proof as yet. The instinct to keep going, to trust yourself and take the journey before you. Even when you feel like you know too much, or are too sensitive, you do not need to shut down or try to protect yourself from feeling.

What will work better for you is to be open and truthful with all that you feel and resist nothing. It shall then simply flow, changing like the phases of the moon, naturally and without effort on your part. I will guide you and show you how to do this so that you will never be afraid- even of the passing experience of fear itself – and you shall become surrendered into life, moved by the moon, a living embodiment of grace in motion.

Something is happening. You cannot see it, but in your most sensitive and responsive moments you feel it. Others around you may not have any sense of it. You may be the one who can acknowledge the reality that is, as yet, still energetic, not quite yet obvious to a less attuned mind.

You may share your feelings with others, and they may accept what you say or see – or they may call you mad and reject it. Perhaps you may be keeping it to yourself because you don’t know what to do with the information or feelings you have, or are fearful that others will be afraid and judge you.

Don’t worry about this.

Explore your particular way of sensing energy. Don’t discount what you feel. Recognise, honour and be moved by it. You are gifted with an ability to feel what is before the conscious mind of others recognise it – a gift for perceiving what is going to be because you feel it in your bones. It is not prediction or guessing taking place, but attunement to the worlds of energy.

If you have been wondering if you can or should work with energy for healing or spiritual growth as a career or for personal development, this is confirmation of this. If you have been feeling more sensitive lately, even perhaps more emotional, and are wondering why – you are opening up psychically and intuitively, and becoming more receptive and conscious of subtle energies. These are the forces of spirit, mind and emotion, thoughts and feelings, that cannot typically be seen with the physical eyes but can be recognised and felt with other faculties of subtle perception.

Always call on the guidance that loves you unconditionally and then follow your feelings as they guide you along your divine life path with intelligent grace.

Oh how deliciously perfect for this moment in time! So gorgeous bean, I wish for you a most glorious week. If you feel inclined, take the time to play with the energy of the New Moon, plant some seeds in the darkness of the time and be gentle and kind to yourself and those around you. Oh yes, remember BIG mugs of hot tea and to BREATHE! Sending you huge hugs and squeezes. See you next week.

New Moon

So what New Story are you willing to create?

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Mysterious, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Lean into that idea a little longer – you are not your emotions, you are simply the one that is experiencing them.
