Follow Your Heart ~ St. Francis


This is your card reading for Monday, August 31st/15.  Your card skimmed out of the 'Ascended Masters' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue in 2007.  Your card is 'Follow Your Heart ~ St. Francis', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"The answer to your question is in your heart.  This card signifies that you can trust your heart's true desires, even if you can't clearly see how the outcome will appear to manifest. This is a situation where you're called upon to walk in faith and be true to yourself.  The universe will ensure that your needs are met and will help with your relationships as you make life changes. 
ADDITIONAL MEANINGS FOR THIS CARD:  You already know what to do; trust your intuition and take action accordingly. * Your feelings are accurate and valid. * You're guided to make important and happy life changes. * You're receiving true Divine guidance through your feelings and intuition.*
ST. FRANCIS:  St. Francis of Assisi was born to a wealthy Italian cloth merchant, but he later renounced his inheritance to follow an ascetic spiritual path.  As he volunteered in hospitals and ministered to the sick, he gained followers who eventually became the Franciscans.  Many legends speak of St. Francis's ability to communicate with animals, and today he's the patron saint of the environment and animals.  Call upon St. Francis for help in situations where your family or friends don't understand your choices or spiritual path, or any issue involving animals."

My message for you today is this:
Your message today is really about being gentle with yourself as we close out the month of August. Follow your heart and honour what it is saying to you.  Many of you may feel as though you have been through the energetic and emotional wringer, so to speak, at various times this month.  We were presented with situations and circumstances that challenged us to break long held patterns that no longer serve us. I personally found the energy of the recent Super Full Moon to be nourishing and encouraging, even as it supported us in releasing...  We feel safe in expressing ourselves as we need and desire to, and we have been pushed to get really clear about where we stand on certain issues and circumstances in our lives.  Being true to yourself has been the overriding theme and we remain in that energy today.  Relationships and communication have also been thematic this past month. 
Call upon the Ascended Master, St. Francis, to assist you in following the urgings of your heart...this is going to be KEY in navigating your way through the upcoming month of September with ease and grace. 
Blessed be...

Launching Your Journey


This is your card reading for Friday, August 28th/15---the day prior to the Super Full Moon. Recall that I have stated often here that we are influenced by the Full and New Moon energy for a day on either side of the actual event---this energy waxes and wanes and doesn't just abruptly begin or end.  Your card skimmed out of the 'Gateway' oracle card deck, authored by Denise Linn.  Your card is 'Launching Your Journey', and Denise's message for the card is this:
"I am an intrepid traveler, sailing forth into the Universe...
CARD MEANING: Inner and outer travel are ahead.  Get ready, for you are about to embark on a journey.  This could be an inner sojourn, a voyage to distant lands, or even a project or idea that is coming to life.
THE UNIVERSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW:  Where have you always wanted to go?  What have you always wanted to do or be? This is the time to make it happen.  Launch yourself forward and explore the world around you.  However, before any journey, inner or outer, take time to prepare for the adventure ahead.  Know where you are and where you want to go. How will you get there?  What steps are necessary in order to take this leap?  Have a clear vision, but also be prepared for the unexpected.  Allow the journey to bring as much joy as the destination!
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:  How can I prepare for the journey ahead?  What is the greatest journey I could embark upon in my life?  What destination will be the most fulfilling?"

My message for you today is this:
This is the perfect card to present for you today...the Super Full Moon and also entering into the 3 week shadow period of the upcoming Mercury Retrograde WILL be asking us to take a journey:  an internal journey which will initiate an outer journey.  As in any journey, you will first have to determine your desired destination.  What is it that you are seeking?  Sounds like a simple question, but I encourage you to dig deep and to not respond with a generic and general response, such as 'inner peace'.  What does inner peace look like to you?  It may show up in a whole different way for you than for another, because we are unique in our experiences and expression. Get specific about where you desire to head out on your journey.  The prevailing cosmic energies are very dynamic and so this is the ultimate time to plot your course.  Ensure that you are mapping out what is authentic and Soulful to YOU...these are the journeys that are coming to the forefront at this pivotal time.  The sacred in our lives is surfacing---this does not imply that you will not encounter road blocks, challenges and detours.  See such occurrences as an integral and revealing aspect of your journey and embrace the learning you attain from those experiences.  Understand that these perceived challenges and detours enhance, rather than deter from, the underlying purpose of your journey. 
All spiritual advisors and teachers that I follow at this point on my spiritual path (including Elizabeth Peru and Panache Desai) speak vehemently to the amazing energies that September will be offering us---the portal of self-discovery, self-realization, self-determination, and self-empowerment being offered us is PROFOUND!  Yet, in order to effectively employ and utilize this opportunity, it is KEY that we take 'conscious action':  That we strive to be consciously aware; that we do the foundational work and research, which includes 'getting real' with ourselves about 'where' we truly desire to go; that we plot out a course, all the while understanding that the route will likely deviate at times along the way; and that we honour ourselves through every twist and turn.  The close to this chaotic energetic month of August is leading us to now speak our truth to ourselves as well as others.
This Super Full Moon will lovingly assist us in releasing any old 'baggage' that would hold us back or weigh us down as we head into the upcoming adventures that await us.  Choose to 'consciously' pack your bags for this next phase of your life, and to lovingly discard what you may have carried with you in the past that no longer serves you.  Acknowledge who you are NOW.  When you embark on a journey that is in authentic alignment with who YOU are, you realize that even the detours hold great meaning and are there to serve you...and you step out of 'victimhood' into 'empowerment'.  THAT is the message of the day!
Blessed be...

Aeracura & Athena


This is your card reading for Thursday, August 27th/15.  Your cards skimmed together out of the 'Goddess Guidance' oracle card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your cards are 'Aeracura' and 'Athena', and Doreen's messages for the cards are:
AERACURA ~ Blossoming ~
"You are just getting started, so have patience with yourself and the process, and do not give up...
MESSAGE FROM AERACURA:  In many ways, you are like a flower bud who is ripe and ready to open and grow.  Don't try to rush this process, as it's part of your beautiful path. Enjoy learning new knowledge and skills.  Take your time to gather new ideas. Nurture your body with plenty of fresh air, sunshine, water, and healthful food.  Soon enough, you'll get the unmistakable signal that it's time to put your learning into action.  Spend time among flowers, or work with flower essences and oils to support your growth process.
ABOUT AERACURA:  Aeracura is a Celtic and Germanic goddess who multitasks as an Earth Mother deity, a fairy queen, and also a bridge between earthly life and the hereafter. She helps us put our goals and challenges into perspective so that we don't needlessly stress ourselves.  Call upon her for emergency money or help in manifesting supply.  She's especially fond of assisting artists and inventors.
ATHENA ~ Inner Wisdom ~ 
You know what to do.  Trust your inner wisdom, and take appropriate action without delay...
MESSAGE FROM ATHENA:  I'm happy to assist you; however, you'll be most thrilled when you first consult your own inner bank of knowledge.  For I assure you that this situation is already resolved and that you have access to all the wisdom that the universe supplies.  To access this wisdom, you must quiet your mind.  Surrender all worries and other concerns to the loving and almighty power of the universe.  Close your eyes, and note the thoughts and feelings that come streaming into your consciousness.  If you like, you can ask me to give you a signal that you've heard your inner wisdom correctly.  But have faith.  I assure you that you HAVE heard, and that the guidance brings you and your loved ones very good news indeed.
ABOUT ATHENA:  Athena is a powerful and wise Grecian goddess who oversees and protects those who call upon her.  She's the daughter of Zeus, and her power animals are white owls and black pigeons.  Although Athena is a warrior goddess, she does battle with wits instead of weapons.  You can call upon her for resolving disputes, and also for protection.  In addition, Athena helps with creative projects such as writing, arts, and crafts."

My message for you today is this:'
Two powerful goddesses have presented together for you today...another indication of the dynamic energy we are in at this time...  Your message today is to strive to remain in a positive posture, even as you may be presented with those who would seek to draw you into their drama or attempt to challenge you in some way.  Take on the role of the observer and endeavor to see such instances from a higher perspective.  What is underlying their actions and words?  Understand that it is TRULY not about you, but is a reflection of some inner struggle on their part.  Choose not to be the receptacle for that which is not yours.  With the shadow of Mercury Retrograde upon us, such issues are being brought to the forefront. How you choose in this moment to deal with such challenges, sets the tone in moving forward. Step out of old patterns of behavior; where you may have allowed one criticism to override the energy of 10 compliments, for example.  This has been an engrained pattern in human nature, and we are learning to move past that.  Choose not to engage in, give any energy to, or take on, any misplaced negativity that is sent your way.  Simply bear witness to it, recognize it for what it is, and move on.  Seek to embrace the positive that will also be present in your experience today, and focus upon that.   Aeracura and Athena are here for you to support you...they will assist you in approaching any challenges or potential disputes from a self-empowered place.  Trust in your inner wisdom and know you are blossoming into the full expression of yourself---place your loving focus upon that today, and let the rest fall gracefully away.  The 1979 rock song by Electric Light Orchestra with the line, 'Don't bring me down, no no no no no...' just popped into my head!  Let that be your mantra today (for those of you who are old enough to recall that song)!
Blessed be...

The Empress ~ Archangel Gabriel


This is your card reading for Wednesday, August 26th/15.  Your card bolted out of the 'Angel Tarot Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.  Your card is the 'Empress ~ Archangel Gabriel' card.  This card is one of the 22 major arcana cards in this 78 card deck.  Major arcana cards address major events and themes within our lives, while the minor arcana cards deal with the day to day aspects of our lives.  I did not separate the major arcana from the minor arcana cards, but rather, kept the deck in tack while shuffling.  So, that a major arcana card presented for you today speaks to the powerful energies prevailing at this time. Doreen and Radleigh's message for the card is this:
"Your creativity and hard work are bringing you great rewards, according to this card.  You have the Midas touch right now, so anything you nurture and give your loving attention to will flourish.  Marriage, children, and issues involving motherhood and creativity are positively affected now.  Whether you're trying to give birth to a child, nurture life into plants or pets, or help a new project or business to grow, your creative endeavors will be successful.
Enjoy the beautiful things in life, knowing that you deserve to be wonderfully provided for. Take excellent care of your body with massage; yoga; or anything that makes you feel healthy, vibrant, and luxurious.  
ADDITIONAL MEANINGS OF THIS CARD:  Abundance. * Spending time in nature. * Indulging in creative and artistic projects. * Loving and nurturing yourself or others. * A time of excellent emotional or physical health."

My message for you today is this:
Archangel Gabriel's (or Gabrielle, if you experience this Archangel as 'feminine', energetically, as I do) name means 'Messenger of God', which is why this Archangel is often referred to as the 'communication angel'.  Many see this Archangel's aura as copper in color, and a crystal said to align well with her energy is Citrine.  
As we lead into the upcoming Super Full Moon this Saturday, and enter into the shadow of the upcoming Mercury Retrograde, the energies are 'amping up'.  We are being urged to focus upon our intentions, to get clear about them, and to take action upon them.  You may therefore, be presented with incidents that bring to light for you today areas where you have formally restricted yourself...either through specific patterns of behavior, or shadow beliefs that no longer serve you.  These are presenting in order that you show initiative in positively moving through these patterns and choose to take 'conscious action' in shifting into your true full potential.  Each time you feel out of alignment with a situation, take action to change or express what you need to, in order to bring the situation into alignment.  Address the situation!  All that is required of you is that you show up authentically in all interactions, and that you honour yourself.  Recall that approaching your life from an empowered stance NEVER implies disempowering another!  Rather, when you choose not to limit yourself in order to make others more comfortable, and when you choose to honour and express yourself authentically from a heart-centered place, you inspire others to do the same for themselves.  You are being reminded, through this card revealing itself for you, that you are in a powerful time of manifestation...as shared in the message above, 'you have the Midas touch'. Archangel Gabrielle...the angel of communication...has presented for you today to assist you in lovingly, yet authoratitively, aligning your expression with your higher self and purpose.  Own who and what you are and express this with confidence and clarity in all interactions that you encounter today...to do so creates a shift into manifesting what you desire on a Soul level and in living a Soulful life.
Blessed be...

Mawu


This is your card reading for Tuesday, August 25th/15. Your card glided out of the 'Awakening of the Divine' card deck, authored by Velva Dawn Silver-Hughes.  Your card is 'Mawu - Divine Mother Earth', and Velva Dawn's message for the card is this:
"Crystal: Serephenite
Are you taking care of yourself first? Do you feel a strong need to help Mother Earth with recycling?  Are you being responsible for your own energy field?  Do you feel passionate about sharing the needs of Mother Earth? Having you been receiving guidance to grid your home and/or land with crystals?
Mawu is a west African Earth goddess who has great knowledge on how to supply our needs without harming our great Mother Earth.  She has a very strong connection to Mother Earth...
Mother Earth is our divine Mother and as any good mother should do, she takes care of herself first.  Are you taking care of yourself first?  If your cup is empty, it's time for a little nurturing.  The natural disasters that occur on the Earth are Mother Earth's way of clearing her energy.  She is asking that you take a little time each day to meditate, going into your heart space to clear your aura which will lessen the clearing that Mother Earth has to do to everyone...
Keeping your own body healthy and recycling your own negative energy by eating healthy and exercising is a form of energetic recycling which contributes to the health of Mother Earth.  Mawu works with Mother Earth assisting in the releasing, integration and union of the people's energy on this planet...
This is an affirmation that it's time for you to grid your home and/or land with healing crystals.  When we place crystals in our homes, they help to recycle the energy within our homes and ourselves...Crystals are made from the Earth so using then to work in union with her creates harmony.
One by one with each of us changing our thought patterns to reflect positive loving thoughts from the heart, recycling, reducing waste, honoring our physical temples and loving one another is a gift we could give to ourselves and Mother Earth."

My message for you today:
As I was typing Velva Dawn's message for this card, what came to mind for me was the message of interconnectedness and lack of separation that underlies this message.  We are and have been moving toward the intrinsic understanding that we are inherently ONE.  I love the message also of our connection to Mother Earth, which we are moving back toward as a collective.  During the industrial revolution, we lost that connection as a collective---and no judgment here---that was an aspect of our evolution...some great things came out of that movement.  It is evident that we are returning to the understanding that the Earth is not separate from us and that we will be impacted personally by how we treat our environment.
Another thought that came to mind for me was Velva Dawn's comment as to 'recycling your own negative energy'.  I would respectfully replace the words 'negative energy', with 'lower energy', or 'energy that is not mine'.  Energy is simply energy---I have come to understand that to call it 'good' or 'bad' or 'positive' or 'negative' gives a connotation that is not actual. 
As an empath, I feel and sense and experience other's energies; and sometimes take them on.  I have come to realize that to label those energies as 'negative' or 'bad' is judgmental---they are simply not MY energies and may not be in resonance with me, but that does not necessarily make them 'negative'.  Having said that, I do not need to walk around being affected profoundly by the energies of others, and so I am grateful for the learnings that I have acquired through some beautiful teachers about how best to care for my own energy field.  Crystal energy---as Velva Dawn speaks to in her message---is a wonderful gift from Mother Earth in assisting us vibrationally here in the physical, and is one means I implement in caring for my energy field and the energy field of my home.  
Mawu has presented for you today to bring to your awareness the absolute interconnectedness between Mother Earth and her inhabitants and to remind us that in honouring Mother Earth, we honour ourselves...just as in honouring ourselves we thereby honour Mother Earth. 
Blessed be...

Divine Guidance


This is your card reading for Monday, August 24th/15.  Your card jumped out of the 'Healing With the Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Divine Guidance', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Trust and follow your intuition. It is God and the angels speaking to you...
You are being Divinely guided right now.  The gut feelings you have, the knowingness, the visions, or the inner voice are all trying to tell you something, and it is very important that you trust and follow this guidance."

My message for you today is this:
Today is a 22 Master Day... What does that mean?  
Here is what Elizabeth Peru has to say about it in her 'Tip-Off Global Energy Report' that she posts weekly at www.ElizabethPeru.com (I highly recommend Elizabeth for a 'down to Earth understanding of prevailing cosmic energies):
"22 Master DAy: 2+4+0+8+2+0+1+5=22 and 2+2=4
Over the six months from March 29th until late September we are experiencing a period of seventeen 22 Master Days.  This span of 22 Master Days signifies a quickening has arrived on Earth...
22 ENERGY
During this period there are no 11 Master Days.  The 11 Master Days will recommence again in October.  The 22 Days are here to help us build lives of greater meaning, personal reward, dignity and respect.  In this week where the theme is being a VISIONARY, today's 22 Master Day helps us along, so take great advantage.  
The 22 energy is a high master energy, being Angelic (and highly responsible) in nature. The Angelics invoke the energy of 22, which asks for temperance and justice in all ways. The 22-day also breaks down to a 4 day.  The four vibration asks that you utilise a slow and steady approach, applying diligence and patience with all of your tasks.  Four is the number of trust and solidity.  The four energy gets challenged by taking a healthy risk from time to time, that's where the 22 energy comes in to push us along. 
How to best use this 22-Day?
* Focus on your task at hand.
* Take one firm step at a time.
* Know where you are treading.
* Make each decision after inner consideration first.
* Do your best not to skim over details on any important project to you.
* Notice that when you slow down, you become present.
* This is a powerful day for manifesting."

I am grateful to Elizabeth Peru for her insight and sharing of this perspective on 22 Master Days.  How beautifully synchronistic that the Divine Guidance card presented for you on a 22 Master Day, which is in perfect alignment with the Angelic energy that abounds for you on this day!  Take some time to be still and allow yourself to access that part of you which receives Angelic communication and guidance.  Be aware of the ways in which your Angels are giving you messages and making their presence known to you.  Be open to receiving. 
Trust.  Allow.  Believe.  This is a wonderful opening to a week of seeing our efforts well rewarded and plans moving forward in ways that we had not foreseen.  Embrace the energy being offered you and utilize it in moving forward.  The Angelics are with you!
Blessed be...

Power


This is your card reading for Thursday, August 20th/15.  Your card soared out of the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is 'Power', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"The power card rules the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra.  This is where we experience our own sense of personal power.  If you have drawn this card today, it is because Spirit is asking that you focus on your own sense of personal power---and claim it. Have you been hiding from your power or afraid to own it? Have you been feeling powerless or fearing you aren't strong enough?  It's time to focus on your solar plexus, and start to build your sense of personal power.  
Sometimes there can be a drain from our solar plexus, because we are unintentionally corded to another person---most often in close relationships.  This energetic cord runs directly from our third chakra and attaches to the other person.  We unknowingly let others siphon off our power.  This can also happen if we fear losing the love of that person or if we feel attacked in some way.  It is time for you to look closely at why this has happened to you and to ask your guides and angels to assist you with cutting that cord.
This card also comes if we are in fear of claiming our power; of standing tall and showing the world exactly who we are.  Most often, we have had experiences in our early years where we personally witnessed the misuse of power or had someone attempt to diminish our own.
That was the past though, and you know how power is not to be used.  You also know that not claiming your own power does not serve you.  It's time for you to claim YOU---to claim your life, and claim the fact that you are a powerful, incredible soul."

My message for you today is this:
I have dubbed 2015 as the year of 'conscious action'.  If you are to live your life consciously, it is key that you own your personal power.  To live your life consciously means to live soulfully; which means to follow direction from within.  Be your own authority.  Honour what your heart (Soul) is telling you about how to live your life.  Sounds simple, doesn't it?  If only that were true, each of us would have been living our lives in just that way ever since we incarnated on Earth for this lifetime!  I lovingly appreciate how Panache Desai declares that we are not here on Earth to seek Ascension, but rather to strive to EMBODY our Divinity in this physical experience that we have chosen to explore. Simply put:  To experience Heaven on Earth, even amidst all the chaos, diversity, and duality that is present in this domain.  To achieve a level of embracing the Divine within ourselves and to thereby express that out into the world around us is a SUPREME form of Soul Ascension.  Essentially, we are not striving to get 'somewhere' from here; but rather, to bring that 'somewhere' here! We are embodied by choice---and the only way to express the Divinity that is within you is to embrace your personal power.  We have created this misconception that 'enlightened' people are always giving and are self-less and have no need other than to serve others. Well, that paradigm might work on the 'other side', but in the dense reality of planet Earth-- and in these physical bodies that house us--it is paramount that we honour ourselves if we are to be an authentic expression of the Divine!  True self-empowerment NEVER undermines the self-empowerment of another.  True self-empowerment is rooted in SELF-LOVE, and thereby holds the energy of love.  As Oscar Wilde has been quoted as saying:
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."  Choose to be yourself!
Blessed be...

Meet our new grandson, and here is your card reading for Wednesday, August 19th/15!!!



Meet our beautiful Grandson, Tatem Anthony Backs, born 3 weeks early on August 15th/15!
We rushed back from our annual lake holiday and arrived home in time to greet our beautiful first grandchild.  He is a peanut, at 5 lbs 15 oz, but he is healthy and simply perfect!  We are in the deepest state of LOVE and are feeling blessed beyond words.  Thank you, A.J. & Lana, for Tatem!   He is an incredible gift to our family! <3

I chose Colette Baron-Reid's card deck, 'The Enchanted Map' for your reading today.  Your card is 'Golden Palace', and Colette's message for the card is this:
"There is always enough...
The Golden Palace card represents good fortune, ambitions fulfilled, wealth, and prosperity. It may also indicate emotional fulfillment, as perhaps you're entering a time of happiness that's long overdue.  The message here is that self-worth isn't measured by what you have, no matter how abundant your life is.  Instead, it comes from what you ARE, how authentically you're living your life, and how much love you're willing to share.  Granted, receiving this card does indicate material gain and a furthering of tangible rewards.  But things come and go, and knowing your true value leads to even greater riches now.  Share the wealth."

My message for you today is this:
Abundance does not only relate to financial wealth, of course, but let's begin with that.  We ARE living this physical existence, which means that financial abundance affords us the security of meeting our needs and also affords us some freedom of choice in life---that is a reality.  Yet, we are being told more and more by the spiritual mentors and leaders of our time, that financial abundance is a natural consequence of living your life authentically and soulfully---meaning to follow the inner guidance that will speak to you, if you listen and are aware.  Those who have attained the greatest 'success'---in conjunction with personal satisfaction---in life, will unerringly tell you that they 'followed their gut'; even when there were those who doubted their choices and decisions.  Yet, there are those who have acquired financial abundance, who do not have self-worth, and who are not living as their authentic selves, and in such cases the financial abundance is often fleeting.  
As 'woo-woo' as it sounds, LOVE is the greatest currency, and this begins with SELF-LOVE. The Golden Palace card has presented for you today to acknowledge that you reside in an abundant Universe, which is always conspiring in your favour.  We have been undergoing a huge shift this month (as I have eluded to in previous readings), and it has often felt chaotic, with difficult circumstances presenting for some people.  Know that you are approaching 'the light at the end of the tunnel' (no...not THAT Light! Ha)!  You are moving into a time when you will be supported energetically in experiencing prosperity on ALL levels.  What we have been 'going through' experientially during this time of massive shift, has been compelling us to be AUTHENTIC  and to own our power.  Situations have presented where you could make the choice to be genuine and true to your self (there-by honouring yourself), or you could remain in old patterns of 'people pleasing' or 'self-sabotage', for example.  Therefore, some very 'uncomfortable' circumstances have presented for many.  Having said that, there has been incredible growth and attainment of self-worth and authentic expression as a collective; as a result of what we have been 'going through'.  
The definition of unconditional LOVE is that which you feel for your child, and your grandchild as they enter your life.  Our beautiful Grandson, Tatem, need only be himself to be loved in a powerful way.  He is a dynamic reminder that that holds true for each and every one of us!  The Divine LOVES us unconditionally, and the time has come to love ourselves in that same way, unabashedly.  Surround yourself in the unconditional Love that you would shower upon a newborn baby.  It is through this portal that abundance of all kinds finds it's way to us. 
Blessed be...

Feeling blessed...

Celebration


This is your card reading for Tuesday, August 4th/15. I trust that you enjoyed a rejuvenating long weekend, after the intense energies of the Full Blue Moon on Friday, which assisted us in shedding what no longer serves us, on a very deep level.  Cause for celebration, as the card that presented for you today from the 'Healing With the Angels' deck suggests!  Doreen Virtue authored this deck, and her message for the 'Celebration' card is this:
"Good news! Cause for celebration is here, and it is time for you to enjoy the fruits of your labour...
The angels want you to know that this is a light-filled time in your life.  You have been working toward making changes, and your intentions have now manifested into form.  This the the time for you to fill your heart with a warm feeling of gratitude.  
The angels ask you, through this card, to hold strong in this gratitude.  You are like a gardener who plants seeds and nurtures them because she has faith that her labours will yield new growth.  Keep watering and tending to your seeds, and you will soon see them sprouting through the surface.  The angels are your co-gardeners, who help you tend to your crop."

My message for you today is this:
How appropriate that the image of your card today holds the brilliant Full Moon in the sky and the angel holding her arms in the air, rejoicing in the Light!  We were gifted with a 'cosmic cocktail' of energy last week, which included a rare Blue Full Moon whose energy was highly impactful! You may have experienced some turbulent events and feelings surrounding that Full Moon; but having now moved through that energy, we can look back upon it and realize the blessings of having purged to such a depth that we achieved a new level of clarity.  This Full Moon shone the Light on some dark places---particularly in regards to how we interact in relationships---and revealed to us areas that required that we step into our own empowerment as never before.  
So...now is the time to shine your Light with a radiance that is no longer encumbered by lack of faith in your ability to be authentic and to express your needs and expectations. It is time to raise your arms joyfully in celebration of YOU and all that you have done to get to where you are now!  I have dubbed 2015 the year of 'conscious action', meaning that we are being called to live our lives 'on purpose' and from a place of self realization.  Honour yourself for where you have been and where you are going.  Acknowledge all the potential and opportunity that is available to you.  Take 'conscious action' in the direction you want your life to lead you to. See the Universe as abundant and be open to receiving!  I have also stated many times that the energy of gratitude is magnificent for manifesting...so begin by being grateful for the blessings that your life currently holds. Then, as the angels suggest in their message to you above, sow some seeds with the knowing that what you desire has been 'planted', and have faith in a bountiful harvest!  
Blessed be...
