Weekly reading

As the Sun Rises, So Do You!

Gorgeous Soul,

Welcome to June. We have lots to discuss today as with the June energy there are some glorious changes happening over here.

However, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how quickly we arrived here?

One minute it felt like we were crawling our way through the mud and intensity of spring, blinking at the chaos of the world and trying to remember where we put our nervous systems… and now suddenly the roses are blooming, the bees are drunk with pollen, the evenings are stretching long and golden, and Summer Solstice is peeking around the corner.

And honestly? I can feel her already.

There is something about June that feels alive in a different way. The air itself feels fuller somehow. Richer. Like the earth has exhaled and said, “Right then sweetie, let’s begin.”

Because that’s the interesting thing about Summer Solstice. Even though it marks the height of the Sun’s power, the longest day of the year, it is also somehow just the beginning.

The beginning of summer.
The beginning of the true growing season.
The beginning of something new inside ourselves.

And that has always fascinated me.

Summer Solstice has been celebrated since Neolithic times. Humans have gathered around fires, honoured the Sun, danced, feasted, prayed and whispered wishes into the warm night air for thousands upon thousands of years. There is something deeply ancient about this moment on the Wheel of the Year. Something instinctive.

Something our bones remember.

And if you know me at all, you know I adore the old stories surrounding Solstice. The veil is thin at this time of year. The Fae are said to wander more freely. The world becomes a little more enchanted, a little more slippery, a little more alive with possibility and mischief.

I mean honestly, even Shakespeare was writing about midsummer magick in the 1500s, so clearly humans have been enchanted by this energy for a very long time. Muhahaha.

But beneath the whimsy and flower crowns and bonfires, there is something incredibly powerful happening energetically this month.

The Sun reaches its highest point in the sky here in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it comes this invitation for us to rise too.

Not in the hustle-until-you-collapse kind of way.

But in the authentic kind of way.

The kind where you stop apologising for who you are.

The kind where you stop dimming yourself to make others comfortable.

The kind where you finally allow yourself to say, “Actually… this is what I want. This is who I am becoming. This is the life I want to create.”

That is the energy I keep feeling over and over again for June.

Creative liberation.
Authentic expression.
The beginning of a new era.

There is this sense that many of us are standing at a threshold right now. Something has reached its pinnacle. Something has completed. Something is quietly asking to be released with love.

And at the exact same time, something new is stretching awake inside of us.

I keep hearing the words “right-sizing your life.”

Not making your life smaller.
Not making yourself smaller.

But creating a life that actually fits who you are now instead of who you used to be.

And if I’m being honest, this energy has been moving through my own life in a very big way these last few months.

I have been sitting quietly with a lot. Listening. Watching. Allowing things to unfold instead of forcing answers before they are ready.

And somewhere in all of that, I realised something that genuinely startled me.

I have been doing weekly readings for fourteen years.

Fourteen.

Years.

When that landed in my body, I just sat there blinking for a minute because it has been such a huge part of my life and my work and my connection with all of you. I have loved writing them. Loved tapping into the energy every week. Loved the rhythm and ritual of it.

But I have also changed. My work has changed.

The way I want to create has changed.

And June, with all this glorious Solstice energy of authenticity and creative liberation, feels like the right moment to lovingly loosen my grip on what has been and make space for what wants to arrive next.

So there will still be weekly readings through June, but during July and August we are going to slow things down and work more deeply with the monthly energies, the seasonal shifts and the other magickal bits and pieces that are asking to come through.

However prior to stepping into the monthly, as many of you have asked – yes there will be a Summer Solstice Reading Special (it will be the last one I will be doing). There will be 21 spots available and if you are part of our glorious email community – you will find out about it on Thursday!

And then in September… oh sweetie… September feels big.

Because I am being guided toward creating more spaces of community.

Not polished, curated, performative community.

Real community.

The kind where people can show up messy and grieving and hopeful and magical and exhausted and joyful all at once. The kind where we gather around metaphorical fires and remember we were never meant to do this human thing alone.

And honestly? I am pig wiggly excited about it.

At the same time, this season has also held deep grief for me.

It was recently the second anniversary of losing the Mothership, and grief is such a strange companion. It sneaks up in unexpected moments. A smell. A sentence. A memory. A flower blooming at the wrong time.

There is something profoundly disorienting about becoming an adult orphaned child. About realising there is no longer anyone alive who has known you from the very beginning.

And layered within that has been the grief of rupture. Of family. Of endings. Of becoming someone new while also carrying the ache of what has been lost.

Perhaps that is also part of Solstice wisdom.

The understanding that life is always asking us to hold both.

Joy and grief.
Endings and beginnings.
Fire and tenderness.
Release and becoming.

So if you have been feeling stretched between worlds lately, if you have been feeling the ache of change alongside the excitement of possibility, you are not alone.

The Sun is asking all of us to rise right now.

To tend our inner flame.
To stop abandoning ourselves.
To trust what is trying to bloom.

Because as the outer Sun reaches the height of its power this month, your own inner Sun has the potential to rise too.

Your fire. Your creativity. Your ability to create, act, love, express and become.

All of it is being touched by this energy. So breathe that in for a moment.

Let the warmth of it settle into your bones. Let it ignite the parts of you that are ready to come alive again.

And when you are ready, sweet soul, pick the card — or cards — that are calling to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

GO DARK

Your darkness is not your enemy.

It can seem scary, but it’s where new life grows and develops. You do too.

This moment calls you to be willing to be with your own darkness. It asks you to embrace your dark as your beloved ally. To cradle your uncertainty.

The dark night of the soul holds secrets for you that you wouldn’t be able to see in the brightness of glaring certainty.

Poet Mary Oliver spoke about a box of darkness as a priceless gift in her life.

Chaos, crisis and suffering want to gift you a new understanding of who you really are beyond who you always thought yourself to be.

COURT THE FEMININE

The word cunning is closely associated with the fox.

Cunning, like foxes and women, has been given a bad rap.

Many have twisted the word’s sacred origins into something manipulative and conniving.

But the word cunning comes from an older Middle English word “ken”, a range of knowledge or sight.

A cunning person understands that deep internal sight and wide-range vision lead to building an authentic life. Excavate your deep knowing and trust its messages.

This is the way your soul-sight grows sharp, and your instincts return to the untamed power you were born with.

Sharpen your cunning to cut away what no longer serves.

No matter your gender, your life deserves the fierce protection that feminine discernment can bring.

CRAFT YOUR FOCUS

Your vision is a magnifying energy source, amplifying and expanding what it perceives.

In any single moment you have one choice. You can turn your gaze toward what you don’t want, what isn’t working, what you are fearful of, what you worry about.

Or, you can look at what you treasure, what you love, and what you hope for, despite what reality tells you is possible.

Either way, what you focus on grows, right?

Now is the time to use this very simple power to direct the energy and flow of your experience.

When you focus on what you already have with gratitude, and what you want with love and appreciation, you create the energy version of your vision before there is any proof in the material world.

This moment invites you to consciously choose your focus.

Okay, have to say – love these cards! All deep, rich and meaningful! Wishing you a glorious beginning of June, may you step into your authenticity and make sure you are part of our glorious email community so you can take one of the 21 spots.

Massive hugs and rose petals.

Stopping to Smell the Roses in a World on Fire.

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Happy May.

And can we all just take a collective moment to whisper, “thank goodness the energy shifted,” after the absolute firestorm that was April? Whoot. I don’t know about you, but April felt like being spiritually tumble-dried at times. Fast, fiery, intense, illuminating… and honestly a little exhausting.

But May?

May arrives differently.

She doesn’t burst through the door demanding transformation. She slips quietly into the garden barefoot, smelling faintly of lilacs and damp earth, asking us to soften our shoulders, unclench our jaws and remember that life is meant to be lived, not merely survived.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and if I’m honest, it felt gloriously bitter-sweet.

Every Mother’s Day I would head over to my Mum’s with baked goods, plants, soil and planters and create beautiful overflowing pots for her to enjoy. It was ritual. Tradition. Love woven through dirt-covered hands and flowers.

But with Mum dying just over a year ago, that ritual no longer exists in the same way.

And grief is funny like that.

It sneaks into ordinary moments. Into garden centres. Into seeing someone reach for petunias. Into the instinct to pick up an extra plant before remembering there is no longer a doorstep to place it on.

There is something profound about ancestral lineage and the threads that connect us through simple acts of care. Sometimes we inherit recipes. Sometimes stories. Sometimes gardening habits and the understanding that tending living things is its own form of prayer.

So instead, I spent the day with my horde.

We wandered amongst the camas flowers, meandered slowly, dug in the garden, laughed, got muddy, and bless them, they gifted me the coolest gargoyle ever, who has already been officially named Quido. Naturally.

And funnily enough, last year they gifted me a glorious Hansa Rose, which is hands down my favourite rose ever because the scent is utterly divine. This year she is blooming like an absolute fiend.

And honestly?

That feels like the energy of May itself.

Blooming. Softening. Rooting deeper. Opening anyway.

May brings us countless opportunities to pause long enough to stop and smell the roses.

And yes, I know that saying can sound a little cliché at first glance, but perhaps our souls desperately need exactly that right now.

To stop and smell the roses means intentionally slowing down. It means lifting your gaze from the doom-scrolling, the pressure, the endless to-do lists and noticing what is beautiful. What is nourishing. What makes you smile.

The sunlight through leaves.
Tea while still hot.
Birdsong at dawn.
Hands in the dirt.
A dog proudly bringing you a random bone while you garden.
The smell of roses drifting on warm air.

These moments may seem tiny, but they are not insignificant.

Scientifically, practices of presence and gratitude have been shown to increase satisfaction, emotional wellbeing and our overall sense of connection to life. But spiritually? I think they help us remember who we actually are beneath all the noise.

May offers grounding influences that feel deeply supportive to our minds, bodies and souls. This month encourages us to become intentional with our energy.

Not feeding what we fear. Not endlessly watering what drains us.

But instead consciously turning toward what we want more of.

More peace. More beauty.
More joy. More connection. More softness.
More truth.

And on May 16th we are gifted with the Taurus New Moon.

Now Taurus energy knows exactly how to stop and smell the roses. This New Moon brings in a lunar cycle that feels calmer, steadier and far more restorative than the chaos we have been collectively moving through.

This is not rushed energy. This is deliberate energy. Grounded energy. Long-term roots instead of frantic branches.

We are being invited to slow down enough to hear ourselves again.

To breathe deeper.
To move intentionally.
To choose what truly matters.

So with all that being said… let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

Gorgeous One, breathe, just breathe.

Allow yourself to simply BE for a moment. Let your mind soften. Let your breath slow. Let the energy of stopping to smell the roses wend its way gently through your spirit.

Then quietly ask your wise inner self: “What do I need to know this week?”

And when you are ready, choose the card — or cards — that tug at your heartstrings.

Don’t let your mind choose. Let your soul do the talking.

And if you feel called to go deeper, I have a glorious wee guided visualisation waiting for you as well. Don’t worry… you won’t need gardening gloves. 🌹

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

Your heart has been chosen by the Divine to be a temple for spiritual light, an inner place where grace and healing can dwell. This is very special. A temple is kept clean and pure, scented with sacred perfumes of incense, made beautiful with our feelings uncluttered and spacious so that as much spiritual presence as possible can enter.

When spirit enters and fills the temple of the heart, things of extraordinary beauty take place. Even the seemingly impossible becomes possible. Clear your heart temple with forgiveness, gratitude and love for the spirit, so it can fulfil its divine destiny of being a sacred channel for beautiful divine grace.

The mind may believe it has got the power to rule, but, in truth, the heart is queen. You are a true goddess of love, one who consults the heart for answers. You will courageously follow the guidance of the heart. Even when the mind doesn’t want to surrender to the call of the heart, and fearfully lists numerous reasons why it is crazy and stupid and will end badly, you know that the doubt of the mind is no match for the power of the heart.

Things don’t need to make sense to your mind or to anyone else, they just need to make sense to your heart. You are already a divine queen, your heart aflame with passionate purpose. Stay true to your heart’s wisdom and you will change the world!

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

In your heart, you have been asking for something different, something more, and the Universe is answering your prayers. You don’t need to be afraid of the changes happening, or that are going to happen, for you. They are part of that answer from the Universe! You might feel uncertain because you cannot see how it is going to all work out – but know that the Universe is caring for you, and will provide a way to move through the transition with grace.

You are not crazy to willingly enter this experience. There is nothing that you need avoid, and so much that you will gain.

Something is ending. Something that has meant a lot to you. Maybe it is a relationship, a phase of your life, and identity that no longer suits you. Maybe it is an inner ending that you can’t quite articulate, but you feel nonetheless. This is a symbolic death with a greater purpose.

The shaman is spiritually trained to overcome the fear of symbolic death and, instead of avoiding endings, to willingly go through them with the awareness that an ending is simply the other side of a beginning. The shaman learns that endings happen when something new wishes to be born.

Be patient with yourself, be kind, but also know that new life is happening for you now according to a higher purpose and loving plan. Your life is meant to change at this time. Be encouraged! From the ashes of this symbolic death, you shall rise again.

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

Finch Spirit Guide comes to you with guidance to care for yourself in a particular way. Finches can become beautifully coloured, but only when they eat foods that nourish them. They have the power of beauty within, but they need the correct nourishment to be able to transform that potential into expression.

You also have beautiful divine potential to shine your light and beauty in the world, but you must feed your soul what it needs to do this. Be respectful and loving to yourself as you choose what to take into your being – be it physical nourishment or emotional energy or even the kinds of books you read and entertainment you watch, for all has an impact on you.

Do you feel better for the experience? Does it nourish your soul?

The best growth-enhancing food for your soul is that which increases love. Finch Spirit Guide also brings a prediction of a celebration of happiness ahead of you – and wants you to know that your connection to the spiritual worlds is real, to trust in the messages you feel from the Universe as they make themselves known in your heart.

It’s a good time to experiment with how to best care for your mind, body and soul. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about finding what works best for you. You are in a phase of your life where giving back to yourself is important.

Perhaps you have been sharing a lot of yourself with others, have come through a challenging time or, in the near future, will be stepping up in a new way to share more creative energy and soul fire than ever before.

All that you need to know now is that it is the right time to take extra special care of you.

Woosah! Gorgeous guides for this week! Sending you massive hugs and squeezes, set your intentions under the Taurus New Moon, stop and smell the roses and ground yourself!

Feet on the Earth, Heart on Fire: Taurus Season Meets Beltane Magick!

Jenny Heston · 1:01 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul

I have been hitting the “Pause and Reflect” button a few times since Spring Equinox, as I assimilate the chaos that has been happening globally and in the collective.

Which is why I have been working “Rooted” in my own life to fully embody it. Hence why there hasn’t always been a weekly reading.

But we will chat about that next week.

Yesterday , on April 19th we entered the sign of Taurus where we will hang out until May 20/21st. It’s at this point that energy slows, and we begin feeling our feet land on the ground after the hot and fiery energy of Aries.

What does the Taurus energy want you to remember and remind yourself of daily?

“You are worthy; you were born worthy; you need nothing outside of yourself to claim or own just how worthy you truly are.”

Taurus Season is our time in the year to slow down, consolidate our schedule, and think about what we wish to really dedicate our time to.

While Aries Season inspires our impulses and passions, Taurus Season wants us to look at our long-term goals and hone in on what we really want to dedicate our time to.

So what do you want this year?

On May 1st we have Beltane! So let me wish you an early Happy Beltane!!

And to help you tap into these expansive energies (and to have some fun), I have created the Beautiful Beltane Book for you.

I call it a booklet, but it’s 23 pages packed with rituals, suggestions, journal prompts, spells and more! And to celebrate this magickal day it is my gift to you for only $9.

Now if rituals, lore, magick and spells aren’t your gig and you just want something simple – I have 5 Questions to Ask Yourself on Beltane.

Beltane is the cross-quarter day that marks the midpoint in Spring. We are now half way between the Spring Equinox & the Summer Solstice.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active.

All of life is bursting with potent fertility, look at the trees around you – (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), they are bursting forth with bright green leaves and the little sparrows are back as well as the robins. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme.

In the middle of the season there is a clear difference in the energy compared to the beginning of the season. You can see evidence that the wheel has shifted. The days are noticeably longer – the sun sets much later than it did at the Spring Equinox. It’s grown considerably warmer outside.

At the Spring Equinox new life was just beginning to emerge. But here, as we start to approach the beginning of May, there is no denying that the Earth has been reborn.

Beltane is a time to celebrate all the pleasures in being alive.

The Goddess has reached her fullness and is the manifestation of growth and renewal and shows up as the May Queen, Flora, the Goddess of Spring. The God emerges as the Young Oak, May King or as Jack in the Green.

They fall in love, the union is consummated and the May Queen becomes pregnant.

Together the May Queen and the May King are symbols of the Sacred Marriage, the union of Earth and Sky. If you have ever read “The Mists of Avalon” you will know what I am talking about.

This is the night of the Greenwood Marriage. It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. And about conception.

A brilliant moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. And have some fun!

And like Samhain, this is when the veil is thinnest between our world and the Fae, so leave a wee giftie out for those ancient magickal ones.

Okay, that was a lot, so let’s crack on with the reading.

I laughed when I saw the guides, as I mentioned the veil is thin between us and the Fae and so the Fae decided to show up. (You seriously can’t make this shit up).

Do I need to introduce you to them?

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

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

Okay dear one, take a moment.

It’s so easy to just pick a random card with no intention, but what if you allowed yourself that moment of intention? What if you dropped into your body, breathed into the tight places and just paused? Let that quiet and stillness soothe you, calm your mind and break up your day.

Then from that place, on this day, ask your wise inner self – what do you need to hear this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

Always

Infinity

Let’s talk about Infinity, shall we?

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been….and always will be. You are part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe. Your spirit and your soul are immortal.

As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.

Your connection to Divine Spirit is never severed. You are never alone. You are always connected to the Source. You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.

Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan.

First, always be there for yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not. Those you thought were true were not.

Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.

Express your gratitude!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship, with yourself first, then someone else. And always with the Divine. .

Remember the elementals that are helping you along the way. Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

Fire Dance

Fire Energy

The Fire Dance represents the dance of life, for it is the giving of life, which is the function of the Kundalini energy force (also known as serpent energy).

It is through this energy that life and creation are achieved.

The Kundalini energy is a mighty force that should be allowed to awaken at its own natural pace. It will naturally open as you become more loving and more conscious of your own divinity and connection to Spirit!

Fire energy that is awakened too soon is at risk of misdirection. It is wiser to study, read and work on your own spiritual understanding. This will gently let the fire energy rise. Balance is very important in this energy system and promotes well being on all levels.

This energy is in constant use daily in conjunction with all of your energy systems, which all work together.

If you have been feeling low in energy be sure to review your eating, exercise, and sleep habits. Take good care of yourself and make a “releasing of worries” statement to yourself and the Universe.

A delicious and easy way to help your energy systems stay in top running order, is to sit in a quiet, comfortable place and close your eyes. Slowly imagine breathing in and out each colour of the chakra system…start with red and move to orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Imagine breathing in a beautiful mist of each colour.

Breathe each colour until it feels integrated within your body and then move to the next. Soon you will feel more balanced and energised!

Trespassers

Boundaries

Fairies have boundaries, in case you didn’t know.

They are usually in the form of magical spells placed around sacred places in order to keep out those who might tamper with their sacred objects. They also have an invisible magic boundary around their realm.

It is not easy to break through this boundary but it can be done when one knows the secret words!

Are you having trouble respecting the boundaries of others? Is someone not respecting your boundaries?

A third question is, “what kinds of boundaries or limits am I placing upon myself?”

These are questions to ask yourself in order to discover which area of your life you need to work on. You cannot expect others to respect your boundaries if you are not clear with them yourself.

You must state clearly and honestly to others about where you draw your lines. Be kind but clear about your expectations.

In turn, be respectful of others’ boundaries also.

Their business is their own.

With regards to the boundaries that we place upon ourselves; we often set these limitations on ourselves due to lack of confidence, self-respect, or even lack of knowledge.

Release any unwarranted restrictions that you have assumed.

Release limiting habits and thought patterns.

The dragon at your gate can either protect you or hinder you. What will you ask it to do?

Woosah! Be gentle with yourself but also push against the electric fence of your comfort zone. Remember You Are Worthy!

Big hugs and bouquets of flowers.

Boundaries, Blossoming & Not Playing Small!

Jenny Heston · 11:11 am ·

Gorgeous Soul

The last Monday in March! Time is doing some very interesting things for sure!

Holy hannah, I will say March zippity doo dad past with incredible speed. One moment it felt like it was the beginning of March, then it was Equinox and poof – gone! Did you feel the same?

Many of you have shared with me that you are feeling the surge of Spring energy, the creation, the planting of intentional seeds – however are also feeling a tad overwhelmed with the energies that are chaotically swirling right now.

I totally get it.

So let’s start with talking about Boundaries, shall we?

Did you shudder when I said Boundaries?

There are all sorts of boundaries that we work with every day. Physical, Emotional, Sexual, Financial, Intellectual, Spiritual and Energetic.

I think of boundaries as this glorious field of energy around me that has the capacity of osmosis, it lets in the delicious, yummy, healing stuff and becomes like a steel wall when shit is creeping in.

I will be honest, I am very clear about what I allow through my boundaries whether it is through media, family, friends, random interactions, people I spend time with and even the clients that I choose to work with.

Boundaries are about healthy choices.

Boundaries are you getting clear on what is okay for you, what you need, and what you desire.

Is that selfish? Fuck no! It’s healthy as long as they aren’t reactive (note that word).

Knowing your values, owning your piece in any interaction you have and being clear about your boundaries up front is actually a refreshing gift for most of us intuitives and empaths (to be honest). It’s something I teach in one of my courses.

Boundaries embrace all aspects of you and yes, sometimes that means a chapter needs to close as it’s not healthy but insecurities and stories keep you stuck in it.

Okay, so now we have boundaries gently talked about, let’s move onto the glorious Full Moon (Pink Moon) that happens on Wednesday, April 1st (April Fools day and just before Easter).

The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 1st of April, helping us to clear a pathway into the fiery, motivating, and action-fuelled energy that the month brings.

April holds some of the most motivating and fast-moving energy we have seen in a while. We have zero planets in retrograde, and lots of fiery energy pushing us to get things done, set goals, and go after our dreams.

This productive energy is likely to infuse its way into all of our lives throughout the month, but the Full Moon offers us a gentle pause, a Release Point

Arriving at the start of the month, the Full Moon offers a release point so we can make room for the fertile, fiery energy to flow. It asks us to clear and release all that feels heavy, all that is no longer serving us, and all that needs to fall away so we can move forward with greater ease and intention.

What is holding you down or keeping you stuck and limited? It’s time to have a clear-cut conversation with yourself and take decisive action.

This is not a time to hold yourself back, play small, or remain in indecision. The time has come to make a choice, once and for all. The time has come to be clear about what you want and intentional with your actions, your energy, and how you are spending your time.

(Note the energy of boundaries…..)

Then we have Easter, which I love – there are inflatable bunnies in my neighbourhood!

When my kids were smaller we would do a massive egg hunt all through the house, the property and up into the parks, I loved their joy of finding those wee chocolate eggs wrapped in glorious foil.

There was one time, a few years ago, I had set the hunt up (which meant getting up at 4am to do it)!

It wended through the house, the gardens and up into a glorious park space with cliffs and alcoves. They barrelled out with baskets in hand and found every frigging choccie egg and then as we were clambering towards home they saw someone sleeping under a tarp.

I was curious about what they would do, and left it up to them.

They paused, and then in quiet collaboration they gently left a massive pile of choccie eggs outside the top of the tarp and when they got home they all sat in a circle, poured the eggs out and shared them up equally.

Have to say, it made my heart sing.

However, sometimes family gatherings at celebration times don’t have that energy.

Uncle Tom, who can be a sarcastic asshole, comes. Auntie Jean who is so critical about the food is invited and though you mean well, we may not thoroughly enjoy it. It can feel like a chore or an obligation.

I invite you to play with the energy of boundaries, who you are, what you want and why you want it and to use your voice with compassion but truth.

So with all that being said, let’s crack on with the reading.

The guides that decided to come and play are the glorious guides of the Sacred Forest.

Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

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

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

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.

So my dear one, just close your eyes and allow the delicious energy of this Full Moon and boundaries to swirl around you. Then when you are ready, pick the card of cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a peek.

BEAR SPIRIT

Healing

You can sense the presence of the bear, even before you see him.

You turn slowly and look deep into his eyes, as a long lineage of healers – invisible, yet real – step out from beyond the trees and surround you both. When you reach out and touch his thick fur, you feel healing energy instantly surge through you.

When the Bear Spirit appears healing on all levels is occurring, and it can come in many forms. Be ready to accept it. Know as well that you are a healing force for others.

You may not even be aware that you are a conduit for healing energy, but when others thank you, simply say, “You’re welcome,” even if you don’t know how it happened.

In many native traditions, Bear Spirit is thought to be aligned with humans, as he can walk upright like a human. He represents the healer and “good medicine”. He also bestows healing powers to those worthy. You indeed are worthy.

Bear Spirit energy can also represent grounding, strength, and confidence. It activates a stable foundation to face whatever challenges appear in your life.

You are a healer, whether with your words, your hands, your ability to listen and a channel for the life force of the Universe.

You are strong and grounded.

Healing is unfolding and/or a situation is being resolved.

Have faith that all is well.

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you. In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be! It’s time for a new beginning!” With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles. Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life. In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth.

There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows. Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters.

If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life. Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle. Life force and vitality are emerging. Release that which doesn’t serve and support you.

Make way for a new start! Success is at hand!

STAG SPIRIT

Leadership

A majestic stag stands atop a mossy knoll. His nobility and grace are palpable. You can see fog form around his nostrils with his every exhalation. He does not need to announce his might. Simply and utterly, he is powerful without words or proclamation.

In many traditions, the elusive and mysterious white stag is considered king of the forest. With his noble antlers and his proud stance, he carries a commanding energy. This card is calling you to claim leadership of your life. Now is the time to step out of the shadows and become a beacon for others. Don’t allow anyone or anything to dim your light.

You may be asked to take on a position of authority. Even if you have been in the background in the past, this is your time to step up and shine.

Remember that a leader isn’t necessarily defined by age, status, or income. A true leader is someone who is commanding, passionate, and motivating. They have a vision and are able to make decisions with clarity and strength.

The greatest leaders are those who know how to serve and act as stepping stones for others to reach their dreams. You empower others simply by being who you are…and who you are is enough. Are you willing to step into the light and be a leader for others?

You inspire others to greater heights. Step into leadership in your life. You are a beacon for others. Shine in your own life. Be gentle with yourself and others; however, do not play small.

Take action. This is your time. Step up.

Woosah (yes, I say that a lot as that’s the energy that floods in). Happy Monday, have a glorious week and remember to evaluate your boundaries, be clear and spend some time with this glorious Full Moon. And if you celebrate Easter. Have a hippity, hoppity time. I am going to kayak, and play in my garden – so see you in two weeks. Massive hugs.

Equinox Rising: Balance, Blossoms & Bold New Beginnings.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Okay, have to ask – are you going to wear green tomorrow? It is going to be Saint Paddy’s day after all!

It makes me chortle to see the people who pull out the green tee shirt saying something like “Kiss me I’m Irish”, and maybe 2% of their genetic makeup is Irish, lol.

As someone who is 50% Irish, I most certainly going to be wearing green and an Irish t-shirt!! (And no it doesn’t say kiss me!)

On Friday (March 20th), we welcome Ostara (Spring Equinox) , that most delicious place of change.

Ostara is named for the goddess Eostre (see the ties with the church!?)

Because Ostara celebrates and honours the spring equinox, it is – much like Easter – directly linked to many elements and symbols of springtime.

These include rabbits, chicks and birds in general, eggs, baby animals of all sorts, blossoms and flowers, fresh green grass and plants, the first fruit, vegetables and herb offerings of the season; light, warmth, and soft, bright colours.

It is an invigorating, terrific point to reach and one that encourages us to take our cues from nature and to focus on areas such as balance and harmony, planting new seeds and setting fresh goals in our lives, fertility (which can simply mean areas that we wish to have multiply.)

It is a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world.

If you want to learn more, go deeper and explore this glorious energy there is the Ostara Magickal Guide (also known as OMG!).

The Equinox brings the time when light is perfectly balanced with the darkness.

This is a powerful time that represents seeds of intention, awakening, growth and rebirth.

It’s the perfect time to do some reflection and align yourself with the habits that will allow you to truly flourish this season.

So let me ask:-

How will you support yourself during this transition?

How will you grow, glow & flourish this spring?

What types of balance are you creating in your life?

What are the seeds that you want to plant for yourself?

Remember, this is the time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

What are you going to plant?

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

It is said that on the Equinox, the energy grid of the planet moves into higher harmony, allowing us to soak in the healing powers of Mother Nature with greater ease.

With the energy grid of the planet alive and awakened, we can also replenish our own energy centres of the body and send our thoughts and intentions out into the Universe for creation.

So as mentioned before, if you want to dive deeper, learn some lovely rituals etc. give yourself a copy of OMG! (Ostara Magickal Guide).

Oh yes, and for those of you who have emailed and asked about Rooted information about it will be coming out soon, as there are many glorious things burbling.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading!

These are glorious new guides that I have been having a lot of fun with, so please let me introduce you to them.

“Banish “not enough” from your vocabulary. You have always been enough.

You deserve all the love you keep trying to give everyone else.

Listen to the dream song of your soul.

Let it remind you who you really are.”

So darling one, take a lovely glorious deep breath. Allow the energy of Ostara to swirl around you, teasing you, lifting up your hair and tickling your neck. What are your seeds? What are your intentions as we start this glorious season of Spring?

If you want to go deep. One of my gifts to you is a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation, to help you root into this time.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a look, shall we?

INDULGE THE WHIMSY

Play is at the heart of every creative endeavour.

Play creates meaning, increases resilience and promotes health. The secret to living an enchanted life is to remember playfulness.

It lives in you as a magnetic force, deeply influencing every creative thought, relationship, project or endeavour. If you want to breathe new life into the adult world of responsibilities and requirements, engage your play.

Climb a tree. Listen to a fountain. Sing with the birds. Allow yourself to spontaneously skip down the grocery aisle or stand outside in a rainstorm. Follow the fireflies.

Then, go one step further and put play on the schedule.

Prioritise it. Court the wonders of the natural world.

Now is the time to discover that you are one of those wonders.

FLY THE WINGS OF WORTHINESS

The days of doves descending from the sky with messages of peace and belonging are long past.

Today, your promise of “more” is delivered through the radiant women you meet. In the powerful sway of nature’s embrace. In the rush you feel when dancing or creating.

You encounter your own worthiness when you allow yourself to receive.

And when you allow yourself to walk away when someone denies reciprocity or can’t meet you in mutuality. This moment is about owning your worthiness, and doing the work to heal the places where it has been wounded.

Cultivating worthiness is important.

So is recognising where your worthiness is denied.

Get up from the table when love is no longer being served. Go outside. Look up. The doves are circling, as is new belonging.

You are equal to and worthy of every beauty the heavens bestow.

BRAVE THE JOURNEY

Now is the time to journey. Say yes. Explore.

It’s time for travel, adventure and the unknown.

You travel not to discover new places, but to meet the new you created while experiencing those places.

If it’s not an outward journey beckoning, turn inward and explore the stunning vistas, lost horizons and secret forests of the psyche.

Living in the mind alone is akin to owning a castle, but restricting yourself to the broom closet.

Don’t settle for what others have told you of adventure. Pursue your own, right now.

There is only one way to unfold your own myth, and that is to be willing to brave the unknown.

Wowzer, those were glorious guides. So my delicious lovely, another free gift is a beautiful ritual to plant your Seeds of Intention. Equinox blessings and see you next week! Remember to get your Ostara Magickal Guide!

Weekly reading

And honestly? I can feel her already.

We are being invited to slow down enough to hear ourselves again.

“You are worthy; you were born worthy; you need nothing outside of yourself to claim or own just how worthy you truly are.”

So let’s start with talking about Boundaries, shall we?

Boundaries are about healthy choices.
