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

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 · 4 Comments

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!

March Magic: Birth, Blood Moons & Building Resilience!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Dear Glorious Soul,

Whoot! Whoot! March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh).

It’s the first Monday of March (frigging love March), as we head to Spring Equinox, we are slowly coming out of hibernation, the flowers are popping up and there is that sense of promise and hope in the air. (Aren’t those delicious words right now?)

Why am I so pumped about March – because Spring Equinox is almost here!!! Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn. Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth. The Birth of ideas, goals, desires and dreams – it is positively delicious.

Now you be thinking – I don’t have the energy for that as the world feels like it is in chaos. I totally get it, as yes, there is a lot of fear, chaos, and downright garbage being pumped out.

However, more than ever this is the time to Birth the new, the communities, the dreams and that is where Resiliency comes in.

As to step into our power and our gifts we have to be practicing resilience more than ever in today’s climate!

What does it mean to be resilient?

Resilience means being able to adapt to life’s misfortunes and setbacks.

To stand in your centre from a place of truth and Sovereignty and calm whilst chaos swirls around you.

Funnily enough for the last couple of months this theme has been coming in and offering me insights.

Then in the wee hours of March 1st (the White Rabbit day in my world), I woke up at 2am and got a massive download about Resiliency.

So with the approaching Equinox – the time of Birth, desires and dreams. It seems the perfect time to offer a glorious course that can be done as a home study or as a group study on Resilience.

And by Resilience I mean, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and most certainly the nervous system!

What does it mean, how to embody it and how to integrate it into your day to day so that you hold your centre, stand in your truth and Sovereignty and move forward with calm and ease.

So keep your eyes peeled (such a gross expression, where does it even come from?!), as there will be more information coming.

This week we have a Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo.

Blood Moon Eclipses are incredibly potent cosmic events. They shake and rattle the fabric of our being, bringing endings, changes, and sudden shifts. They fast-track our growth and help accelerate any transformation already underway.

On March 3, we experience the final in a series of Blood Moon Eclipses that began last year. Blood Moon Eclipses tend to arrive in a set of three, and this is the third and final of the trio that started back in March 2025.

This final Blood Moon acts as a point of culmination and resolution.

Virgo energy encourages refinement and simplicity, helping us separate what is essential from what is no longer necessary. Under this Eclipse, we may feel called to simplify our lives in both practical and emotional ways.

Virgo reminds us that healing often happens through small and steady changes.

Virgo energy also highlights our mind-body connection, so this Eclipse may heighten our awareness of how stress or emotions have been stored physically and where we may be pushing too hard. We may feel called to support ourselves through rest, nourishment, or gentle care.

To practice Resiliency!

The March energy is about coming from the Heart (which is key energy in this 1/10 year).

The heart needs to take the reins and, using its intuitive intelligence, then set a direction that is aligned with your emotional truth and values.

Which totally ties in with Equinox and living from a place of Resiliency!

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s go meet your guides for this week.

So darling one, just relax for a moment. Give your shoulders a wiggle, move your jaw from side to side and take a glorious deep breath in and then sigh it out. With the energy of March swirling around you, breathe into your heart. See it strong, calm, true and at ease. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make you tingle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek, shall we?

VAST VISTAS

Nomads, Steppes of Mongolia

We are visiting Mongolian nomads on the plateau of central Asia, an area currently landlocked between China and Russian Siberia.

Here, the sky is incredibly expansive. It feels like we can see forever on these vast vistas.

We feel a sense of freedom here as we travel with a tribe following their reindeer. These nomadic people have lived here for thousands of years, migrating the immense grassy plains, mountainous regions, upland steppes, and deserts of Mongolia.

Every time we stop, we set up a camp. In the middle of the night, when we step outside the yurt, it seems that there can be no other place with such a vast expanse of the heavens.

In the morning, as we stomp our feet on the ground to warm up, the horizons seem to stretch in every direction, seemingly all the way to eternity.

Widen your horizons to see the bigger picture.

This is not the time to think small. Think outside the box.

There is the potential of big changes ahead. Be willing to be unconventional in projects, relationships, and ideas. Know that you can choose any direction you desire, but before you go forward, look in all directions to see the potential outcomes.

Vast vistas are ahead for you. It’s easy to get caught up in the small details of life and forget the bigger view.

This is a time of expansion and even a time of travel and new adventures.

If you receive an opportunity to travel, go for it.

If you can step into a different direction in life, don’t hesitate.

Take it!

COURAGE

Vikings in the New World

What an exciting adventure! We’ve landed in Newfoundland around the year 1000 C.E to visit the newly arrived Vikings.

We’re here with Leif Eriksson, watching his people prepare the foundations of a new settlement. As we walk through their community, we’re impressed by the vigor, physical strength, and grace of these men and women.

It seems to radiate from the center of their being.

What remarkable courage these early settlers had to cross the Atlantic Ocean in their longships – open-air, wooden boats – during huge storms and inclement weather.

They set forth without certainty about where they would land or when they’d get there.

Guided by the stars, the winds, and their connection to their gods, they travelled forward into the unknown.

There are times to hold back and deliberate about life, and times to move forward with passion, power and daringness.

If there is something you wanted to do or say or act upon, now is the time to go forward.

Don’t back down; face your fears.

Act on your impulse now, and success will follow.

Being courageous doesn’t mean that you are not at all afraid. Being fearless means just that – to fear less. There are no certainties about the outcomes, but be willing to take a risk and step forward anyway.

Be resolute in honouring your truth, and speak up for yourself. Live with passion!

As a warrior of the light, you must step beyond self imposed limitations to be a way shower for others.

Through you, others will be inspired to find and act upon their truth.

Trust that you are unstoppable.

EXPANSION

Planet Jupiter

Today we are time travelling to the planet Jupiter. What a ride it is!

As we land, we can feel our muscles strengthening in its strong gravity field.

Even though Jupiter is physically uninhabitable by humans, the mystic energy here is remarkable. You and I are both in awe of Jupiter’s 79 incredible moons.

Everything feels so stunningly expansive – understandably so, as this planet is 318 times as massive as our own planet.

In Roman mythology, the god Jupiter, for whom the planet was named, was considered to be sky god and king of the gods. (In Greek mythology, he was known as Zeus.)

In astrology, Jupiter is connected with principles of growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, good fortune, and miracles.

Your life is expanding in profound and wondrous ways.

Vitality and wide open opportunities are at hand. Focus on what you desire to increase in your life, and let it flow to you. Timing is everything, and the time is now, so seize the day!

Anything and everything is possible.

If there is anything in your life that you want to expand, this is the time to nurture it.

Good fortune, growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, and miracles await you.

Activate this escaping power and activity by believing that anything is possible……..and it is.

Focus on your deepest dreams and allow the energy of Jupiter to propel you.

Ready?

Woosah! Glorious guides as we step into March. So darling one, take time this week to do things that nourish you and bring you back to centre. Turn off the TV and the news, reach out to a friend, go for a walk. Be gentle with your gorgeous self and keep your eyes peeled for more information on Rooted.

Dearest Gentle Reader,

(Yes… I’m still loving how that sounds.)

We are at the tail end of February and holy hannah — what a whizz-bang of a month. The collective feels noisy, tender, chaotic. Winds whipping. Opinions flying. Hearts a little frayed.

And here on the West Coast, Mumma Nature is putting on her own dramatic flair. Temperatures have dropped, atmospheric rivers are rolling in, and it is properly cold and wet. The kind of cold that seeps into your bones when you’re out walking the doggos and the rain is coming at you sideways.

And yet… I get to come home.

I get to turn on the kettle.

I get to peel off wet layers and wrap myself in warmth.

What if you can’t?

February 28th marks The Coldest Night of the Year Walk — a national movement that began in 2011 to raise funds and awareness for homelessness and poverty. The funds support local charities doing the real, gritty, heart-forward work: food, clothing, shelter, programmes, dignity.

On Valentine’s Day, I walked through encampments handing out little love packages of cookies. I listened to stories. Hard stories. An elderly couple in their 80s, newly on the street because their rent was tripled. Let that land.

There is no turning away once you’ve looked into someone’s eyes.

It reminds me how profoundly blessed I am. How blessed most of us are. And how fragile “security” can be.

Community is not optional. It is essential.

Smile at someone.

Have the conversation.

Offer what you can — even if it is simply your time and presence.

We are interconnected whether we acknowledge it or not.

(Alright, stepping gently off my soapbox now.)

And as if the earthly weather wasn’t enough, the cosmic weather is also shifting.

Mercury stations retrograde from February 26 to March 20 — entirely in mystical Pisces.

But this one feels different.

Not chaotic. Not glitchy. Not “hide your emails.”

More like: descend inward.

When Mercury retrogrades in Pisces, we are invited beneath the surface — into dreams, intuition, memory, and the subtle realms. This isn’t about fighting delays; it’s about listening more deeply.

The question becomes:

What spiritual insight needs revisiting so my intuition can clarify?

And this retrograde doesn’t stand alone.

It unfolds in the heart of eclipse season — revelation energy.

It follows the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20th — dissolving old structures and seeding entirely new paradigms.

It swims fully in Pisces — amplifying sensitivity and access to the unseen.

There is profound shifting happening. Above. Below. Within.

If February has felt turbulent, perhaps it is not chaos — perhaps it is recalibration.

Both the earthly cold and the cosmic tides are asking the same thing:

Come back to what matters.

Care for one another.

Listen deeply.

Anchor in compassion.

We walk each other home.

Now with me chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.

I invite you to take a moment to stop, to pause, to breathe in those aspects of safety, comfort and connection that we often take for granted. Close your eyes and ask your wise inner self what it is YOU need to hear this last week of February?

When you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate and call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

ANGELS OF THE FOUR DIRECTIONS

Uriel, Raphael, Michael & Gabriel

The light of an angel reaches out in every direction. This reveals the dynamic presence of archangels Uriel and Raphael.

Ureil, the angel of the north, is a source of immensely valuable inspiration.

If you’re working on a creative project or if you just need some new ideas on some old issues, Uriel is ready and willing to help.

This angel connects you to the Universal energy and Akashic information that exists all around you.

So call on Uriel to leave any dark confusion behind and bring the insight you require at this time.

This “Fire of the God” will certainly light up your life!

The next messenger is Raphael, the archangel of the east.

This wonderful angel supports you with matters of love, healing, children, and relationships.

So invite his presence to help resolve your love and relationship issues and to bring the physical healing you desire.

The energy of this angel is so powerful, he is often called the Miracle Worker.

I invite the power and wonderful energy of .(name the angel). I ask for help and healing concerning (name the issue), and I give thanks.

THE VAST UNIVERSE

Blessings of Divine Consciousness

A bright sun, spinning in the heavens and projecting Divine Light to the Earth, sends out brilliant waves of Universal energy.

This is a vast river of grace, abundance, and happiness that is open for you!

You yourself have your own Divine heart, one that is connected to all other people and things – and to boundless creative energy.

This power is always available to you, but you have now arrived at a time when the whole world is about to open up!

Opportunity awaits. Amazing connections are available to you.

The Eternal Consciousness that co-creates all reality is in alignment with your own heartfelt desires.

This is the time to focus your energy there by creating a treasure map or vision board filled with bright images, writing a clear attraction intention, or directing your angels to carry your intentions to the energetic realm.

The entire Universe is waiting and willing to respond!

The light of God fills me. Divine Consciousness guides me. Abundant blessings of the Universe flow into my life.

HAPPY SUCCESS

The Wish is Fulfilled

A man stands in a flowering field with his arms stretched out, happily looking up at the sky.

It’s raining beautiful gems, silver coins, and droplets of bright light.

He is clearly filled with joy about the abundant blessings coming his way.

Happiness is a choice, as is the consciousness of success.

When you live in these mental attitudes, it’s only a matter of time before you, too, are showered with the blessings you desire.

This is a time of joy and abundance for you. This may be in the form of wealth, love, or business achievement.

The promise here is that the wish you’ve been dreaming about is coming your way.

So open up to the success in your heart and to the happiness already in your life – and get ready for much more to come!

I focus on the beauty and success of my spirit. The world is abundant, and I know that wonderful things are coming my way.

Woosah! Glorious messages, interesting energy and an important reminder about community. Sending you huge love and hugs. Wish me luck as I walk on Coldest Night of the Year.
