Revealing Radiance

This is your card reading for Tuesday, July 25th/17.  Your card today propelled out of the 'Gateway' oracle card deck, authored by Denise Linn. Your card is 'Revealing Radiance', and Denise's message for the card is this:
"CARD MEANING:  There is a luminosity within you that's expanding. It illuminates others and brings light to the darkness. Your radiance also acts as a sacred beacon that calls the bounty and support of the Universe to you.
THE UNIVERSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW:  Even if you've been feeling lackluster lately, know that there's a vibrant, shimmering light radiating within you. Take time to be still and welcome the light revealing itself to you. Own your radiance, and the rays will expand into the furthest reaches of time and space. When you shine brightly from your heart, the bounty of the Universe showers you with blessings. You are the light."

My message for you today is this:
That was an INTENSE New Moon that we experienced this past Sunday!  As we all know, energy is not 'clap on/clap off', but is always in flow. And so, we remain in the lingering energies of that New Moon and are transitioning into the upcoming powerful eclipse season. I have taken no courses in astrology nor have I studied the cosmos (in truth, I am often lost attempting to find my way here on Earth! Haha!),  but I have ABSOLUTELY been extremely sensitive to prevailing 'energies' all of my life. I am grateful now, for those who share their understanding and knowledge about cosmic energies and how they impact our lives.  We can utilize these energies when we are consciously aware of them, in navigating our physical experience more effectively. For me, New Moon energy encourages new beginnings and setting intentions for that which we want to manifest in our lives. This energy feels like a 'quickening'.  This recent New Moon was urging us to step into the authentic expression of WHO we came here to be. It can be frustrating when you feel this motivation, of sorts, and yet you don't have clarity around how you are meant to SHINE...I feel that we have been pushed in the direction of finding that clarity during this 2017 year of 'courageous expression'.  And for those who may have reached that point of clarity, it doesn't mean that now the road ahead is without some bumps and detours! (My inspiration to strive to communicate in a new way for me, through video on Facebook, was fraught with speed bumps, yesterday!) The elevated view of these bumps and detours is that there are lessons within them that are SUPPORTING you in moving in the right direction. (I realized that it is far easier, for me to work with my Ipad and Iphone, rather than my Mac laptop to post videos on Facebook!) At these times, focus upon the LIGHT within you. Focus upon the knowing that only YOU can shine your Light because it is unique to you. Focus upon the understanding that even when the road gets a little bumpy, you are still traveling forward. The Light within you is ALWAYS there, even on the days when you feel less than radiant!  Quite honestly, there are days---even when we are living our lives 'on purpose' (consciously)---when we need to be DETERMINED to acknowledge our Light within. There are also those days when it feels effortless to feel embraced in that Light. Such is the challenge (and accomplishment and satisfaction) of striving to live a spiritual life in a physical experience. 
You ARE a beacon of Light.  You have come to a place where you know this to be true. How will you SHINE?
Blessed be...
