Flame Tree

This is your card reading for Friday, December 16th/16.  Your card today soared out of the 'Gaia Oracle' card deck, authored by Toni Carmine Salerno.  Your card is 'Flame Tree', and Toni's message for the card is this:
"The start of something new...
A creative spark has ignited from deep within your soul and this will soon develop into a passionate flame through which a new idea will come to you.  This card heralds the start of something new.  This could be a new area of study, a new business or a new interest of some kind.  Whatever it is, it will develop progressively and steadily and it just keeps on growing.  It will develop into a deep passion and remain a significant part of your life for years to come.  You will thank your lucky stars for discovering something that you truly love to be and do.  For the time being all you need to do is relax.  Simply keep an open mind and heart over the next few weeks and pay attention to your intuition.
AFFIRMATION:
A creative flame glows within my heart
and illuminates my mind
I am ready to start something new
My heart and mind are open to new possibilities
My dream becomes my reality
I do what I love and I love what I do..."

My message for you today is this:
Ahhh...we are beginning to morph out of the energies of 2016 and into the energies of 2017. Recall that energy is 'in flow' and therefore transitions gradually from one vibration into the next, rather than in an abrupt way (except in extreme circumstances).  We have been assimilating all of the acquired lessons and learnings of this past year, in which we have been completing certain cycles within our lives, in preparation for moving onto the 'new'. 
Your card today has presented as a reminder of that (and as encouragement, of sorts)! 
Many of you have been experiencing 'frustration' in combination with a sense of urgency and the knowing that you are meant to be and express more than you perceive yourself to be at this time.  Spirit is advising you to 'relax about it'!  This is a busy, social time of the year and holds it's own dynamic and intensities...  Give yourself a break, and relax into the holiday season; knowing that there are energetic undercurrents that are inviting in the new for you, because of all the work you have done over the course of this past (intense) year! 
Stop feeling the need to PUSH and relax into ALLOWING.  This creative urge that you have been feeling IS going to be expressed in perfect, Divine timing.  You can't force the gestation period!  Rest in this knowing and feel the encouraging hug that Spirit is offering you today...strive to be open to the guidance being offered, and trust that you are exactly where you need to be at this moment in time.  May the image of the Flame Tree warm you.  
Blessed be...
