The World

This is your card reading for Thursday, March 23rd/17.  Your card today sprung out of the 'Energy Oracle' card deck authored by Sandra Anne Taylor.  Your card is 'The World', and Sandra's message for the card is this:
"~Expansion, Opening Up~
The man in this picture is looking out over a bay, above which the beautiful sphere of the earth is rotating. This card is reminding you to expand your vision and contemplate some much broader options.  The world is wide, so there's a lot out there to consider.
In the modern age of technology, this could specifically be referring to creating or expanding to a more global network through the internet or social marketing.
Drawing this card also lets you know that you have unlimited resources available to you, and now is the time to think big. As they say, the world is your oyster, so get ready to gobble it up.
AFFIRMATION:  My life expands into boundless horizons with unlimited, powerful energy. A world of possibilities is open to me now."

My message for you today is this:
The sphere that is pictured with your card today is the 'Mother Earth' stone, whose energy assists us on the path toward our goals.  It is comprised of reconstituted Clear Quartz and Cinnabar.  You are being encouraged to dream a big dream for yourself and to hold the knowing that that dream IS attainable.  It's time to embrace the possibilities and potentials that have been revealing themselves to you, and to take some sort of action step in the direction of realizing the life you are moving toward.  This is a life of authentic expression, in whatever way that looks for you.  It need not be standing on stage as a public speaker proclaiming to the world, in order to be of significance!  It simply and profoundly means acknowledging your own unique and personal gifts that you have to share and stepping into expression of that.  The truth is, you just can't help yourself...it will feel uncomfortable to 'be' the way you had, if you were not expressing authentically.  That doesn't mean that you will not experience some discomfort in moving out of some of your old ways of being...old habits die hard sometimes.  There is the powerful quote by Anais Nin that says: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
That speaks eloquently to the energies we are in at this time and in this year of 'courageous expression'.  Your growth and expansion into your fullest self needn't be 'painful'...that's NOT the message for you today.  The message is that limiting yourself now and remaining in 'status quo' will no longer feel comfortable and so you may feel a sense of urgency regarding the footprint of your life here on Earth.  Be open to the opportunities and situations that present.  Letting them 'pass you by' will not serve you at this time.  They are presenting now for a reason...perfect Divine timing, even if it doesn't always seem so!  
Blessed be...
