Signs

This is your card reading for Monday, July 13th/15.  Your card slipped out of the 'Manifesting Wealth & Wisdom' oracle card deck, authored by my dear friend, Jaden Sterling.  Your card is 'Signs', Jaden's message for the card is this:
"The Universe is reminding you that signs come in many different forms and will come more often when you ask.
ACTION:  Ask the Universe to show you signs that you are on the right track regarding your question or situation.
Look for the  creative ways the Universe answers your questions.
Acknowledge a sign when you receive it by recording it in a journal.
Be grateful when the signs come and for the information they bring."

My message for you today is this:
Spirit communicates with us in a myriad of ways---as unique as the individuals with which Spirit is communicating!  The Divine WANTS to support us here in our Earthly embodied experience---be open and aware of that support being made available to you.  Once you consciously open yourself to receiving signs and messages, you will often be in awe of how Spirit makes itself known to you.  
My dear friend, that I was so happy to spend time with yesterday, is a highly VISUAL person, and so she 'sees' signs more than anything.  Someone who is highly AUDITORY will likely experience signs from Spirit through hearing, primarily.  And someone who is CLAIRISENTIENT, or a 'feeler' may receive signs through physical sensations for the most part.  Regardless, the key is to TRUST, ALLOW and BELIEVE the signs when they are presented to you.  
As Jaden states in his message, you can absolutely ASK for a sign. Then what you must do is SURRENDER into how Spirit will bring that sign to you.  This past March, I asked Spirit to give me a CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE sign regarding a venture that is VERY close to my heart.  It was integrally essential that I receive validation from Spirit that I was moving forward in the way that I was meant to, as this was a HUGE step for me.  I then surrendered myself as to when and how this sign would be delivered.  A couple of days later, I went down to the room in my home that is my personal sacred space and is where I conduct my consultations with clients.  I had burned incense in the room when I was last in it, and the incense holder was sitting on my reading table.  As I sat down, I saw a beautiful red leaf, about an inch tall, standing (stem down) at the end of the burnt incense stick!  This was the beginning of March in Alberta, and in winter!  We have a walk-out basement, and my room has a large window by my reading table, but the windows in our home had all been long closed up against the snow and cold and there was no 'logical' means of explaining how this real (and still supple) red leaf had found it's way to rest in my incense holder!  I couldn't help but see it, also, because I would be moving my incense holder off my table and back to it's usual place in the room.  AND my primary Spirit Guide's name is RED LEAF!  Not only had Spirit orchestrated a beautiful validation for me that I WAS on the right track, I also understood the message that my Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels were supporting me in this undertaking!  I sat and cried in deep gratitude for this perfectly delivered message and sign from Spirit that I could not have imagined into being!  That amazing red leaf is now displayed in a small glass jar in my sacred space.  It is dry and 'shriveled', and no longer supple; but it serves as a beautiful reminder for me that Spirit will find incredible ways to communicate with us if we ASK and are open to RECEIVING!  I say 'Thanks', I say 'Amen'!
Understand that often times the signs that you receive will be subtle, and it is up to you to pay attention.  When something draws your attention in the course of your day, such as: a phrase on a billboard as you drive by; a song on the radio; a conversation that you overhear in the check-out line that relates to something you have been 'wondering about'; certain number sequences; the appearance of a feather or a coin (or a leaf!) in an unexpected place; a cloud formation in the sky; an animal in a natural setting; a phone call from someone just as you were thinking of them; or any synchronistic event.  These, and others, are the 'signs' that Spirit will employ in communicating with you.  How do you know that it is indeed a 'sign'?  It draws your attention and focus in the context of your busy day, and you simply have a 'knowing'.  Always express gratitude to Spirit for the signs as they present. Gratitude is a powerful manifesting energy, and by expressing gratitude you let Spirit know that you have received and are open to receiving.  
I would love to hear from you the ways in which Spirit has made itself known to you...
Your sharing will allow others to see the multitude of ways in which Spirit will relate to and support us here in the physical...
Blessed be...
