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!

Weekly Reading for April 10th and Full Moon in Libra

Jenny Heston · 2:58 pm ·

Happy glorious (albeit soggy) Monday and Full Moon in Libra!  How was your week?  Tell me you got outside and enjoyed some nice sun and garden time!  I think I managed one day outside redesigning the garden and coming up with creative ideas on how to use massive partially rotted cedar stumps and then it poured down with rain again!  This Full Moon is big energy for setting big intentions that you are willing to follow up with grounded action.  So take some time today and do some releasing and intention setting.  If you aren’t sure how, here is a simple method.

Okay, let’s dive into the reading.  The Divine Circus was adamant that they had something to say and were exceptionally insistent that they come play. The crystals that jumped up and down to come support are:-  Black snowflake obsidian, Aragonite and Sodalite, with of course a glorious Selenite wand to amplify everything.

There is a fun visualisation to help you get centred and grounded if you feel inclined.  If not take a breathe, get quiet and trust yourself, listen to the voice from your heart and soul.  Then pick.

DATE WITH DESTINY

Out of the ethers 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!

PINHEAD PUNCHINELLO

Do you ever feel just a little too blessed with new ideas, dreams and ambitions?  Maybe it feels like you need more hours in the day to attain all you desire, to complete every course, read every book, create every dream and live at least ten lifetimes in just one.  Or maybe you just feel overwhelmed with possibilities and choices, with demands on your time and things to do.

The entire Universe can dance on the head of a pin!  That means you only need one point from which everything can come alive.  If you narrow down your choices to one, just one for now, everything else will come in time.  Just as you would water roots of the tree, and notice that not only do the roots grow, but so does the trunk and branches and leaves and flowers and the birdlife attracted to the tree, and so on…so too do you need to just attend to one important task, and the rest will happen naturally.  

Whatever confusion or overwhelm, or whatever grand plans you are imagining, even those that seem so vast as to be impossible, the next step to your success is one simple step.  Choose one thing for now; that will be enough to get everything else moving too, even if it seems like you have to give up something in favour of something else.  For now, you are to move from the many to the one, and eventually that one will move the many into life.

THE JUGGLER

Many projects in the air; aspirations and inspirations everywhere.  Action to take, commitments to make and yet another will soon join the fray!  Say yes, do not delay.  It will all work out in the perfect way.

You are capable of many things and you are too important an asset to the plan of love on this planet to be left idle.  So life, the universe and your own creative urges will ask a lot of you.  There will be many inspirations, ideas and dreams that you will yearn to bring to life in the world.  You might wonder if it’s all a bit too much for any one person to handle.  You might feel you are juggling so much already that if even one more demand or idea comes through, you’ll drop the balls already in the air, and the whole damn thing will come undone!

The Juggler is the master multi-tasker.  He brings the skills wisdom and tricks you need to not only successfully bring to life all your current dreams and ideals, but to be open to even more flowing through you.  If you feel overwhelmed, you are letting yourself get ahead of yourself, allowing your mind to move too far into the future.  Bring it back to now, to just what can be done now.  Let tomorrow take care of itself.  Prioritise, what do you need to do most today, and what can be left until later?  Remember to ask for help and remember that your individual success is actually part of the greater group success.  The universe wants you to succeed.  It will keep an eye on the pots on the boil whilst you stir the one that is bubbling over now. You are going to manage all that is going on in your life if you remember to stay present and relax, deal with what is immediately happening and not worry about any other distractions.  You’ll not only handle all that’s currently going on, but when another opportunity heads your way, you’ll add it to the mix with grace!

Wishing you a wonderful Spring week filled with sunbeams and laughter.  There will not be a reading next Monday as it is Easter Monday and I plan on spending the weekend playing with the kids and stalking the Easter bunny to find out where he hides his chocolate egg trove!  Have a great Easter weekend, remember to play, drink water, relax and chortle like a mad fiend!  See you on the 24th.  

New Moon in Aries Weekly Reading!

Jenny Heston · 3:32 pm ·

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!

https://www.jennyheston.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/walking-the-dogs.m4a

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.

We’re done with power over people, power over women, power over the planet. We’re here for matriarchal ways rooted in care, respect, shared power and community. And we’re a wee bit tired of being told how to behave, how to look and how to be women in this world!! So here’s our sisterly response… with love, laughter and a little Scottish sass! 😉

A wee note: We’re a group of Canadian sisters and one beautiful U.S. sister exploring Scotland together. Some of us have Scottish roots, and all of us brought a little wyld spirit! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. The trees are loosening their grip, Gorgeous Soul. What are you ready to release? 🍂

Sitting in a glorious pile of leaves, I pulled October’s card: Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness.

Accountability and compassion. The courage to own your part, the tenderness to forgive yourself, and boundaries that honour both.

There’s autumn magick in this invitation—and a little delicious mischief, too.

It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The It’s easy to think of yourself as a good man. The harder question is: who are you when it’s just you and the boys?

When the joke crosses the line.
When the group chat turns ugly.
When a woman is being degraded.
When you know something is wrong.

Do you speak up, even if it costs you your place in the group?

Because women cannot be in every room asking men to respect us.

Men have to demand it from each other.

So I’m asking men: when was the last time you called out another man?

Don’t just teach your sons not to hurt women. Teach them not to stand silently beside men who do.
Summer is letting go. 🍂 Can you feel it? The lig Summer is letting go. 🍂

Can you feel it?

The light has changed. The evenings are arriving earlier. Leaves are turning, birds are gathering and Nature is beginning that slow, delicious turn inward.

Then on September 26th comes the Harvest Full Moon. 🌕

And maybe she’s not asking:

What’s next?

Maybe she’s asking:

What is already ripe?

What has quietly grown in you this season?

What are you ready to gather?

And what might you finally be ready to let fall?

I’ve written a new Harvest Moon piece through my Seasonal Lens, with journal prompts and one of my favourite slightly ridiculous rituals.

It involves bubbles.

Of course it bloody does. 😂🫧

For one delicious moment, we stand at the threshold between seasons.

Before rushing into autumn, what if you stopped long enough to look back?

At the summer you actually lived.
At what surprised you.
What challenged you.
What delighted you.
What quietly grew while you were busy doing other things.

You don’t need a perfect harvest.

You only need to recognise what is already in your hands.

Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I to Today is exactly one week before my birthday, I took a leap and received a “channelled” tattoo.

Was I sceptical? Abso-frigging-lutely. I wouldn’t even see the design until two hours before my appointment.

Then the image arrived—and I fell completely in love.

An apple, lavender, chamomile, rosemary, hare’s-foot fern and glorious Amanita mushrooms, all woven together beneath the stars and the sweep of the Milky Way.

Every piece holds meaning. Together, they form a tiny wild universe—a botanical talisman of nature, healing, memory, resilience, cosmic wonder and a wee bit of Fae mischief.
