Happy glorious Monday and New Moon in Aries! This is a very potent New Moon as in essence it is the first New Moon of the year (I know that sounds odd but work with me). If you want to learn more about it and how you can harness the power of this energy, please feel free to hop on over here.
We have actually had odd bouts of sun amidst all the rain, which in turn means the snow is slowly melting! In fact I have actually spotted a few shoots from the 300 bulbs I put in in the Fall (that made me very happy as I am so ready to see flowers!)
I love how the cards work – I had it in my mind that we were going to work with a certain deck, more Zen, less edgy, more light and fluffy feeling (not that I really own a deck that is light and fluffy). However, the cards were super clear this week – heck no, it’s play time and what could be better than a Divine Circus. Ergo, that is what we are working with. The crystals that hopped out and wanted to come and join in are:- Red Jasper, Sodalite and Jade.
So let’s get going with this glorious New Moon in Aries reading.
Take a moment to pause and just breathe, if you want a fun little visualisation to help you get centred, please feel free. Oh yes, you might hear a helicopter in the recording as the myriad of times I tried to record it a helicopter insisted on going by!
Ready? Trust yourself and pick the card(s) that are calling to you.
Shall we go see?
SILVER SIREN
When is an enchantment not enchanting? When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little. The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul. Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right. Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.
If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise. It simply will not be worthwhile. The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying. To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says. No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within. Even if a person declares they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!
You are being given an opportunity for empowerment. It is time to trust yourself and stand firm your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings. With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.
DIVINE DISGUISE
Some blessings are obvious – the door that opens, the person who says yes and the instant success of an idea. But not all blessings are instantly recognisable. Some blessings are so veiled that at first you might consider them to be an unwanted development. A concealed blessing is either already at work in your life or on its way. Don’t worry if you feel like things aren’t working out as they should. Soon enough, the disguise will be dropped, and the blessed unmasked in all its beauty.
The Divine Disguise brings you the promise of peace of mind and a realisation that the universe does really know what it’s doing. It’s in your corner, on your side, cheering you on and helping you avoid unnecessary pitfalls, even if you don’t know they exist. The real beauty of a situation isn’t obvious to you yet. It could be a delay or change in plans that runs out to be in your favour, even if at the time you aren’t sure is signals failure! It could be the wrong person saying no so the right person can say yes. It could be being blocked from turning back to your past, so you must continue forward to the magic of your future.
Don’t worry. Even that which appears most troublesome is going to reveal itself to be working in your favour.
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!
Wishing you a glorious week ahead of strength, connection, puddle hopping laughter and playfulness.
And in the words of Rebeccca Campbell – Held by the Earth. Moved by the Moon. Sparked by the Sun. Swayed by the Sea. She was a force to be reckoned with.
