Connections

This is your card reading for Tuesday, August 8th/17 (I trust you enjoyed the long weekend!). Your card today skimmed out of the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is 'Connections', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"You are opening to the vast knowledge and information obtained through previous lives to help you on your path in this life. The knowledge coming to you now will help you in understanding who you are, who you have been and who you are becoming.
Seeing your connection to those people who are in your life today is helping you to understand the important roles we play in each others lives. This is a time of fulfilling soul agreements and releasing old karma."

My message for you today is this:
Yesterday we experienced the Full Moon and partial Lunar Eclipse that is leading us into the Eclipse season. As stated here so often, energy is in FLOW and is not 'clap-on/clap-off', and so we reside in the energies of that Full Moon yet today.  How appropriate that this card presented for you today! Even further to how the past lives that you have experienced have impacted who you are in this lifetime; the prevailing energies of this Eclipse season are harkening back to your PAST in THIS current lifetime, as well, and you are being given the opportunity to experience release on the deepest level of that which no longer serves you in some area of your life. Specifically, Elizabeth Peru, in her Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast tells us that this Eclipse family that we are currently experiencing last happened in August 1999 and so the energies we now find ourselves in are very similar to those we experienced at that time. Elizabeth suggests that we look back to what was happening at that time in our lives, and how we dealt with our circumstances then; speculating about how we might deal with the same circumstances differently now.  In this way, you may bear witness to the Soul growth and lessons you have incurred since August 1999. Do so with no self-judgment or criticism if you wish that you had dealt with something differently in the past; but rather from a place of self-realization and celebration for the growth you can now see in yourself. Witness old patterns and ways of being that you have ALREADY released on your journey and the learnings you have integrated. There are NO MISTAKES if you consciously learn the lesson that the perceived MISTAKE had to offer you, and carry that learning forward.
Acknowledge and honour your learnings of the past today--particularly those since August 1999, as being encouraged by this Eclipse family--and consciously release the current patterns of behavior that you now wish to shift because they no longer serve you. Your past (including past lives as Cheryl's message here states) is being drawn to your attention at this time, not to shame or ridicule or induce regret; but rather to mirror back to you the evolution of your Soul on your journey.  "You've come a long way, baby!"  Celebrate yourself!
Blessed be...
