This is your card reading for Thursday, July 9th/15. Your cards flew out of the 'Divine Guidance' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your cards are 'Freedom' and 'Speak Your Truth', and Cheryl Lee's messages for the cards are:
~Freedom~
"It's time to come out of your shell. This shell, which did serve you in the past to provide protection for your tender heart, is no longer needed. The time has come to begin to allow yourself true freedom. This world and your soul both need you to let your light and your heart shine. Allow the past to be the past and move forward in this present moment. Do this is small steps at first if you need to. Moving away from your protective shell means allowing others in---on a deeper level than you have been able to allow before."
~Speak Your Truth~
"It is time to speak your truth. You no longer need to hold back what you have to say for fear of what others may think. You are being asked to speak up and share your feelings, your wisdom, and whatever is on your mind. When you have something to say, yet hold your words back through fear, you create a blockage in your energy and life. Speak up.
What you have to say is important and worth being heard. If you are a public speaker or have a desire to speak publicly, this card encourages you to use your voice and claim your power."
My message for you today is this:
Your cards today are a beautiful compliment to one another. It has come up so much for us in 2015---in what I am calling the year of 'conscious action'---that we are meant to be expressing ourselves in an authentic and Soul inspired way. The energies of this time not only support, but encourage us to do so! This is due to our spiritual maturity and evolution that urges us to share who we ARE with the world for the betterment of All. We have come to the understanding that to be SENSITIVE is a gift, rather than a detriment. Humanity, as a collective truly is moving toward acceptance of individuality rather than conformity. Yes...we are doing so gradually, but if you look around you you will see the ways in which change HAS been occurring, even incrementally. You can do your part to effect this change by having the courage to be vulnerable by choosing to speak your truth and also by 'walking your talk'. Stop hiding from the World! This does NOT imply that you should IMPOSE your viewpoints and ideologies on others, but rather that you be open and willing to SHARE them when opportunities arise to do so. Due to the prevailing SHIFT that we are in, you will find that you become increasingly uncomfortable whenever you fail to do so. Whereas you may have been able to 'bury' or withhold your true feelings in the past, in order to ensure that you remain anonymous or 'safe' or even in order to conform; you will now find that there is an undeniable urgency within you to express your TRUE SELF. You are not imagining this! The spiritual growth that you have accrued compels you to be true to yourself in every way!
When you do so, you inspire and encourage others to do the same for themselves. You are indeed free to speak your truth and to share yourself with the world! While this may not have been the case in the past (both in this lifetime, as well as in past lifetimes) it IS the case for you now... Embrace this time and opportunity.
Blessed be...
There will be no card reading today, Wednesday, July 8th/15. Visit here tomorrow for your card reading for Thursday.
Blessings to you,

This is your card reading for Tuesday, July 7th/15---a '22' Master Day in numerology. Your card slipped out of the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is 'White Tara ~ Sensitivity', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You are becoming increasingly sensitive. Avoid harsh relationships, environments, situations, and chemicals...
MESSAGE FROM WHITE TARA ~ As you've purified your inner world of thoughts, actions, and intentions, it's natural that you seek purity in your outer world as well. This is to acknowledge your heightened sensitivity, which is as real as it seems! You've stripped away the outer protective layers of unneeded defenses, which blocked your psychic and spiritual awareness. Now you're on the path of ascension, which calls for your heightened awareness. And with this awareness comes new levels of sensitivity to the impure and harsh. Your body is a trustworthy instrument of measurement of your tolerance level. Steer clear of that which your body signals you to avoid. Take excellent care of your body, and it shall serve you well!
ABOUT WHITE TARA ~ White Tara is an aspect of Tara, a female Buddha and Hindu Mother Creator. The many female faces of the Buddha and Mother Creator are represented as various colors of Tara. White Tara represents purity, maturity, and compassion. The eyes on her hands, feet and forehead allow her to be aware of all prayers. She helps us live long and peaceful lives."
My message for you today is this:
As we are becoming more attuned with our Spiritual selves, we are aware that this physical body is a beautiful instrument gifted to us to house our Soul during this lifetime. I loved and appreciated how my friend, Jaden Sterling, stated in his presentation at a recent event that he co-hosted, "If you don't take care of your physical body, then where are YOU going to live?" How true! When you honour your physical body---the body temple, as some refer to it---you also honour your Soul. There is a reason that so many new 'sensitivities' and 'allergies' are making themselves known to us at this time. We ARE becoming more 'sensitive', as we consciously open ourselves to the energies that surround us. Excellent health is our NATURAL state of being. Yet, our bodies react to the stimulus and environments that we are exposed to. We are becoming increasingly aware of this and can therefore choose to be conscious about caring for the body temple.
White Tara has presented for us today as a reminder that our body is our temple. She will assist us in taking the necessary steps to honour our bodies and to live a healthy lifestyle.
Your increased sensitivity is a GIFT from the Divine---yet learning to navigate your way through these increased sensitivities can feel challenging at times. Many people have been struggling with increased weight gain as a means of 'protecting' themselves from the sensitivities they have been experiencing. No self-judgment here---but White Tara has presented to let you know that there are other healthier means by which to manage your increased sensitivity. Open yourself up to the knowing that 'you are in perfect health' and then be aware of what the Universe presents to you in terms of opportunities that will serve your pursuit of optimal health. Perhaps a friend asks you to attend a yoga class with her. Perhaps you 'just happen upon' a book or some information about nutrition that you feel drawn to read about. Look to the ways that Spirit will communicate with you and direct you to living your best life. It is not necessary to 'stifle' your increased sensitivity, but rather to learn how best to embody it. You are meant to be a sensitive Soul...embrace that and strive at the same time to take care of the beautiful gift of physicality that you have been given...
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Monday, July 6th/15. Your card whirled out of the 'Enchanted Map' card deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'Unexpected Visitors', and Colette's message for the card is this:
"If you expect the unexpected, you'll be prepared for miracles...
Detours, surprises, and paradigm shifts...expect the unexpected No matter how detailed your plans are, and how clear you believe the road ahead to be, there are times when the best plans are waylaid by unforeseen circumstances. At first, detours may seem inconvenient, but a surprise turn of events signals that the adventure of life is beginning to get interesting. No one can plan synchronicity---for fate and destiny to meet---except Spirit, who knows what you can't comprehend for now. Life is full of surprises, so stay on your toes and enjoy this exciting new adventure you weren't expecting. There is a plan for your life that may not match up with your agenda."
My message for you today is this:
Let me tell you...I can most certainly relate to the message that Colette has for your card today! Ever since the Spring Solstice, my personal life/family life has been the epitome of 'unforeseen circumstances'! All good things---but circumstances that were often changing on a daily basis, and that have impacted my own life situation in a very significant way! The life circumstances and spontaneous decisions that have been made over the past few months by my adult 'children' and their spouses have significantly impacted my life also! One such example is our sudden decision to make a trip to Brazil recently to attend our daughter's civil marriage ceremony in Sao Paulo! All of this came up very suddenly and unexpectedly! I also could not have foreseen that our son and daughter-in-law---living in Brazil for the past 4 years---would be moving back to Canada this past Spring, and significantly shifting their career and life strategy in moving forward!
I firmly believe that the Divine guides us through synchronistic events that we could not orchestrate on our own behalf, because we do not have the omnipotent vision that Spirit holds for us. It has felt these past months as though each day has presented a new possibility for how my life is 'playing out'...and so, this reformed 'control freak' has been doing my best to flow freely with the changes that abound! I have had a strong sense that---even as I sometimes struggle to keep up with the magnitude of changing circumstances---'things are happening as they are for a reason'.
So, the message for you (and for me) today is to embrace the unexpected that presents in your life and to know that the Divine is somehow co-ordinating certain situations that are in your best interest in the long run---even though you may feel off-kilter, at times. Settle in to the knowing that we here in the physical can't always see the 'big picture'. Understand that some of your greatest blessings and miracles come to be through 'detours, surprises, and paradigm shifts', as Colette expresses in her message.
The Truth is, the only certainty is in the present moment. This does not imply that you are to see yourself as a martyr---merely existing and submitting to the whims of what is happening around you! We humans were gifted with Free Will, which means that we can choose the perspective that we will embody in navigating our way through the situations that present to us. Life is indeed, an adventure---you can choose to take on that perspective, or you can choose to be fearful of the unknown. I was recently reminded of a quote that I had displayed in my home some years ago, when my life situation was undergoing dramatic change: 'May my Spirit flow freely down the river of change'. I love that quote, and find it to be calming and reassuring! Perhaps, when you find that your boat is rocking, it will serve as a reminder to you, also, that change is inevitable and the only thing that you can control is how you choose to move through it. Think back to past times in your life when you have had to 'shoot the rapids' and how you discovered the blessings awaiting you in the calm waters later. The boat you were in, always kept you afloat, didn't it? Remember that you are so supported by the Divine and by your Spiritual advisors. Call upon them to assist you in moving through life with ease and grace...and to embrace the blessing that those 'unexpected visitors' bring to you!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Friday, July 3rd/15. Your card flipped out of the 'Awakening of the Divine' goddess oracle card deck, authored by Velva Dawn Silver-Hughes. Your card is 'Bast ~ Unified Strength', and Velva Dawn's message for the card is this:
"Do you feel called to work together as a team to work for victory? Are you ready to let go of the old paradigms where there is only one winner on the podium? Is now the time for you to use your strength to follow through with that step in a decision that has been whispering to you for a while now?
Bast is an Egyptian goddess who represents strength, independence, and wisdom. She strives to forge forward and overcome any and all obstacles that she may encounter on her path of her true-life purpose. Bast has the qualities of a cat, independent and strong.
This card is an affirmation to you that it's time to make that move that you have been waiting to. Bast is here to affirm that it is the right divine time to move ahead with that change in your life. She will support you energetically and will align all of the resources you will need to move through this change with ease and grace. When you release the old you will amplify your inner strength and trust. Please know that you are never walking alone as the goddesses will illuminate your path.
You are a leader moving forward showing others that it's possible to achieve your dreams when you follow through with your intentions and create healthy boundaries for yourself to achieve these goals. When you trust your intuition and follow your heart's desires you will amplify your own light within which will illuminate the light for others to follow their own goals and desires. We need to come together supporting one another in achieving a collective union of dreams lighting up the planet with the presence of collective victory.
CRYSTAL HEALING: You may wish to place the brown tiger's eye crystal upon your solar plexus chakra to balance your independence between Mother Earth and Father Sky.
AFFIRMATION: I am strong and I am supported by the divine feminine. I am a leader of love and enlightenment. I chose the path of spiritual expansion feeling a deep sense of peace within."
My message for you today is this:
This card is perfect as coalition of the messages that have presented for you this week. You are aware that the energetic Shift that we are undergoing as a collective, is moving us away from the old competitive paradigm to a new cooperative paradigm societally. We are bringing to light the conscious awareness of our 'ONENESS' and that we are inherently connected to one another. Therefore, what happens to one, in some way impacts another.
We are realizing that in striving to live our best life, this inspires and encourages others to strive for the same and positively impacts those around us. We understand that it is not 'selfish' to seek to live a heart-centred, Soul driven life---rather, it is empowering to All. We also are coming to the understanding that the Universe is ABUNDANT, with more than enough for All. We are moving out of the old 'dog eat dog' paradigm, into the knowing that someone having or achieving something in no way intimates that we will have to do without. Our old viewpoint of 'lack and scarcity' IS being rigorously challenged during this powerful time of change that we are undergoing collectively. The Shift has been the underlying reason for the radical adjustments that we have been experiencing here on Earth, especially since 2012 and more recently, since the Spring Solstice. These adjustments will obviously be ongoing for some time, but keep in mind that we ARE progressing, and that you chose to be here at this time of accelerated growth, spiritually and societally!
The most effective way to move with ease and grace through all of the changes that are occurring is to express yourself authentically from your Soul. Use the gifts that the Divine has bestowed upon you to make the world a better place. You need not make yourself known on a global scale in order to affect a positive change. The message for you today is that what you do in your own backyard, impacts others in ways that you cannot even begin to imagine, due to the ONENESS of the ALL. Support and encourage others to express their best selves out into the world also, with the understanding that each person is unique in their expression, so in truth, there IS NO such thing as 'competition'.
The energy is such at this time that you are beyond supported in, as Elizabeth Peru of DeltaWaves states in her Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast: "Bringing in new ideas and concepts; acting on your inner brilliance; meetings and pitches; open and clear conversations; following through from your heart; being expressive with no holding back."
So, strive to live your life in a conscious way, with the INTENTION that the world is better off, having you in it---because it is!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, July 2nd/15---the day of this enlightening Full Moon whose energy is exceptionally influenced by the pinnacle conjunction of Venus and Jupiter!
Your card flipped out of the 'Gateway Oracle' card deck, authored by Denise Linn. Your card is 'Taking Action', and Denise's message for the card is this:
"I enthusiastically embrace life's boundless possibilities...
CARD MEANING: Don't hesitate! Whatever you've been putting off, now is the time to act. Stand tall, raise your fists to the sky, and leap into action. Break out the champagne, for victory is in reach.
THE UNIVERSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW: Action creates momentum. Whatever you have been wishing and waiting for, this is the right time to move forward without looking back. Quicken your spirit by taking action now. Even if you have to face your fears in order to do so, look them in the eye with a calm and clear gaze and forge ahead. The action you take now will reap immense rewards in the future.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF: In what area of my life should I take action now? What blocks me from acting, and how can I overcome this? What is the most direct action that will yield the greatest results?"
My message for you today is this:
Wow! What amazing incentive this Full Moon energy is offering us in taking action to express ourselves as Lightworkers! We have come to a place in our spiritual growth and spiritual maturity that we now understand we need not look OUTWARD and compare ourselves to others, or attempt to emulate how other Lightworkers shine their Light. Our mission is to emanate our own unique Light in our own unique way! The current energy is that of excited anticipation and an urgency to 'walk our talk'---that being the 'talk' that your Soul is speaking to you. You may find that you have a heightened sense of despondency or disappointment directed at your Self, at times when you fail to express yourself authentically or place yourself in situations that do not resonate with who you TRULY ARE. Whereas in the past, placing yourself in such situations or circumstances or relationships could be uncomfortable, yet 'brushed aside'; you have now come to a place, spiritually, where your Soul will not easily tolerate anything that is out of alignment with your authentic expression of SELF. If ever you find yourself engaged in activities or interactions which are not in sync with your own personal energetic vibration and embodiment of Light, you will know! Do not step into self judgment...see the feeling of disappointment, guilt or shame as indicators that you have strayed from your own best interests and make the necessary adjustments. In other words, use your emotions as 'guideposts', as Panache Desai would say, to bring you back to the path that your Soul has intended for you. Your Soul recognizes that you have chosen to be here at this time of amazing opportunity for acting on the heart-centered, Soul driven way of being, and the energy of this particular Full Moon today is the wonderful culmination of cosmic energies that have been building to encourage you to 'take action' in that direction!
Typically, Full Moon energy encourages releasement of that which no longer serves us...this spectacular Full Moon has been building since Solstice and is actually ACTION oriented. Can you feel the vibe of possibility and potential and possitivity? The Universe is cosmically inspiring you to be the Lightworker than you came to Earth to be...bask in the light of the Full Moon this evening and feel the incredible support that is being made available to you. The Divine sees your Light---the time has come to take the necessary action in sharing it with the world as only you can!
Blessed be...

AND...Happy Canada Day!!!
The card for your reading today zipped out of the 'Return to Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is 'Vibrational', and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Some souls come to the earth plane to simply experience life. Their lives focus on personal interactions---not on the betterment of the planet or on humanity itself. You, however, are not one of those souls. You have incarnated for a much bigger reason. The core energy of who you are and the vibrational field you carry, has a profound effect on all those with whom you come in contact. You may already be aware of this---or you may not.
There is nothing you need to do to make your energy stronger, better or higher in frequency. It does not need to be adjusted, altered, or activated. It already is all of those things. By believing that your energy needs to be improved, you are actually limiting the force and flow of it with thoughts of lack.
You did not come to this earth to improve your energy. You have come to this earth to use your energy! You are an energetic powerhouse and the Vibrational card has come to remind you of this.
You have the ability to effect and uplift the energy of anyone you come in contact with. Spirit is asking that you place your awareness on this. You, and the energy you hold, is intended to aid and benefit your fellow human. In your own unique way, through whatever it is you do, your energy makes an important and valuable contribution to this planet.
It is time for you to claim your energy and the power you hold. By focusing on how you use it and how it affects others, you are aligning your field to its intended purpose---to make a lasting and positive change in the lives of others."
My message for you today is this:
It is ironic how Lightworkers---those beautiful Souls who are here on the Earth at this time for the betterment of humanity as a collective---are often the ones who most intensely doubt their own worthiness. These Souls frequently are extremely self-critical and hold themselves to very high standards that would be impossible for anyone here in the physical to meet. 'How could I POSSIBLY be a Lightworker?' they ask, when I have been less than perfect in so many aspects of my life? The truth is, that there is NO SUCH THING AS PERFECTION when you choose to be embodied in this physical reality! To hold yourself to such standards is simply beyond ridiculous! The other absolute Truth is that the Divine sees you as PERFECT, even in all of your IMPERFECTIONS. These same Lightworkers tend to be very forgiving of the imperfections in others, and even seek to support and assist others in moving through the challenges in their lives without judgment or criticism. Yet they do not afford themselves that same allowance.
The Vibrational card has presented for you today to remind you that your presence---your vibrational presence---is a gift to the world! This does not imply that you have lived every aspect of your life without having experienced pain, regret, shame, guilt, jealousy, or any of the other emotions that some label as 'lower energy' (when in truth, all emotions are simply 'energy in motion'). The variance in the totality of your life experiences is what allows you to hold understanding and compassion for the challenges that ALL face in choosing to be embodied here on Earth. Acknowledge the Divine spark of Light within you and know that you have agreed to share your own unique vibrational cadence as a healing force here on Earth. How this is expressed is unique to you and may only be offered through you. Step out of the expectation that being a Lightworker implies having lived an exemplary life and a life beyond redemption---quite the opposite! It is usually those who have pulled themselves back from the depths of 'darkness' who have the brightest Light to share! How do you best shine your Light? It's simple---allow your Light to emanate from you and stop dimming it! It is TIME to be all that you are here to be, in every nuance and expression! Understand that NO ONE else can bring what YOU have to share, vibrationally, to this Earth plane!
Shine on, Lightworker!
Blessed be...
Eduardo & Chelsea
