This is your card reading for Thursday, August 10th/17. Your card today leapt out of the 'Spirit Messages' deck, authored by John Holland. Your card is 'Just Ask', and John's message for the card is this:
"There are many here in the Spirit World that can assist you at this time. We are made up of the Divine Source, your loved ones, friends, Guides, Angels, and Spirit Helpers who are waiting to assist you. We are your Spiritual Team, and all you have to do is ask for our help and guidance.
We bring you this card at this specific time because we want to remind you that even though you're reaching out for answers, you don't necessarily need a special tool to ask us for our help. We have always been here and always will be, and although we cannot interfere with your karmic lessons that you're meant to learn, we can come to your aid by gently inspiring, guiding, and helping you to recognize synchronistic signs.
During your lifetime, you may have tried to do or have done things on your own, which can be rewarding, but when it becomes too much, and you start to feel drained or weak, or you don't have the strength to go on...then call on us, and we'll make every effort to help you. Remember once again that we cannot interfere in your life until we're asked or invited. Know that we're always here and waiting---and most important, that we love you."
My message for you today is this:
The messages that I share here with you come 'through' me, and are not 'from' me---I know and understand that. The intention in my doing these daily card readings is that the messages presented here will resonate and serve a collective, rather than an individual---and I am included in that collective! So, the messages are for me, also. I have a confession to make: It has been shared that we are in a powerful time and that the energies being offered are conducive to accelerated movement forward...that the Universe is indeed conspiring in our favour. Yet, I personally found myself in frustration yesterday as a very heart-centered project of mine seemed to have been stymied, with no forward movement when we are 'so close' to birthing it, despite concerted efforts to bring it to fruition. I believe absolutely in Divine Timing, and that our Spiritual Advisors and the Divine are there to support us, even when we don't necessarily see evidence of that here in the physical at certain moments in time. Yet, even when we strive to live our lives consciously, we may still drop into moments of doubt and/or frustration. That's part of being human. As has been said so often here...we are not meant to DENY our feelings, but rather, to use them as guideposts. Sometimes, feelings of frustration mean it would be best to redirect ourselves. How do we know? WE JUST ASK! Ask your Spiritual Advisors to assist you---trust, allow and believe the guidance being offered, and then take guided action. When I checked the Inbox on my computer this morning, a very possible solution to yesterday's frustration over my heart-centered project awaited me, from a source I hadn't imagined! To receive such assistance, we must ASK, due to the Universal Law of Free Will. Our Spiritual Advisors cannot intercede in our life experience without our permission and so, we must ask. What is interesting is that it is often in those times that we require their assistance most, that we 'forget' to reach out to them! Working consciously with your Spiritual Advisors doesn't mean that you will never encounter challenges or times of frustration. It does mean, however, that you will move through your life with greater ease and grace and that the challenges and frustrations will not be the prevailing theme of your life experience. This message has presented for you today---when we are experiencing an INTENSE energy period in the month of August and the eclipse season---to remind you of the support that is available to you. Utilize that support to employ these energies for your greater good, and you may find your life progressing forward in ways you could not have imagined! Just ask...and TRUST!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, August 9th/17. Your card today glided out of the
'Energy' oracle card deck, authored by Sandra Anne Taylor. Your card is 'Goddess of the Moon' and Sandra's message for the card is this:
"~Intuition, Going Within~
This card shows an eternal spirit holding the bright, reflective moon and standing in front of the crystal clear waters of a sparkling waterfall. Her arms are stretched upward, receiving the light of the moon, the light of inspiration.
This card is all about intuition, the ability to receive insights from your soul's point of view. Receiving the card tells you that you have the power to get intuitive information on all types of issues, and now is the time to use it!
The Goddess of the Moon brings you all sorts of information, from the mundane to the spectacular. For instance, you could get the urge to take a different route home from work and find out later that you've avoided a three-hour traffic jam. Or you might have an idea for a great invention, a stock investment, or a spell-binding novel. This card could also indicate significant blossoming of psychic ability and mediumship--even on a professional level.
You're always blessed with this ability to connect, but this card is telling you that now is the perfect time to open up. Get ready for the amazing inspiration this brings!
My message for you today is this:
Beautiful synchronisticity for this card to present as we are in the residual energies of Monday's Full Moon and partial Lunar Eclipse! Did you notice the incredible Moon early last evening as it was rising in the sky? My husband pointed it out to me, and it was a sight to behold...an orange, glowing globe as it appeared on the horizon and then illuminating in golden light as it rose in the sky! Spectacular! My husband then made the comment wondering what ancient civilizations must have thought when witnessing such events. My response was that they were probably far more 'in tune' with these natural occurrences than we have been this past century, actually. We had been in a period of 'disconnect', in my opinion---from the natural world and from our innate intuitive abilities. This is what the 'shift' is about...as a collective we are opening once again to the intuitive aspect of ourselves.
We are being called to live our lives CONSCIOUSLY and with intention. Does this mean that we will experience a challenge-free life? Absolutely not! It means that we strive to integrate the lessons and the meaning that our life experiences bring to us; thereby leaving behind any old patterns of dropping into victimhood. The idiom, "Life is happening FOR you, not TO you," requires that we look below the surface of our experiences and understand that there is learning available there for us. Tap into your inner knowing and to the guidance that is available to each and every one of us, if we reach for it. Energy is in flow, and so there are times when accessing the vibration of the Divine will happen more readily and easily. We are experiencing just such a time. The veil is thin. Utilize this 'window' and open yourself to the information being shared with you. Trust in what you receive. Believe.
Blessed be...
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...
There will be no card readings this week: July 31st - August 4th/17---we are away for the annual lake holiday. :-) This quote seemed appropriate, considering the prevailing cosmic energies which are potently encouraging us to step into the fullest expression of ourselves; and also because we are lovingly anticipating the arrival of our daughter and husband's first baby (soon, she hopes! :-) ! <3
Enjoy the upcoming August long weekend and utilize the energies being offered you by the powerful Full Moon on Monday, August 7th!
Blessings to you,
Linda
There will be no card reading today--Friday, July 28th/17--but I wanted to share this quote with you about courage, from Brene Brown. This quote is so fitting for this year of 'courageous expression'! Love yourself hard enough to be brave and express who you truly came here to be! When you share your own unique gifts from what I call a 'heart-centered place of service', you are the embodiment of the Divine within you. You could begin each day, as I strive to, asking: "Creator, how will you express yourself through me today?" Then witness the ways in which your unique talents and abilities are utilized by the Divine in service to others. When this happens, it just 'feels so right' and heart-centered! Yet actually stepping into the Divine expression that you are can feel vulnerable initially, because you are expressing your AUTHENTIC self...rather than wearing a mask you have created for your perceived 'self-protection'. There are many reasons we design, wear, and hide behind masks...typically life experiences have caused us to do so. Also, our own misconceptions and projections about how our authentic selves will be received. KNOW THIS: Within each and every person resides a Divine spark of Light...no exception! It is up to the individual whether s/he will acknowledge and fuel that Light and strive to be a source of illumination to the world. To do so requires approaching life from a heart-centered place (love) and having the courage to contribute to the betterment of humanity, as only YOU can (being brave). The prevailing energies of this year---and so profoundly over the eclipse season we are entering--- are urging us to love hard and be brave! Express from your heart! It's what you came here to do!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, July 27th/16. Your card today flew out of the 'Crystal Ally' card deck, authored by Naisha Ahsian. Your card is 'Aventurine ~ Growth', and Naisha's message for the card is this:
"Aventurine has entered your cards today to signal you that a time of growth is at hand. Allow yourself to open to the changes that are coming and celebrate them as evidence that you have moved on to a new level in your life. Review the lessons that you have just learned from your experiences. Sense the old patterns melting away, and take the opportunity to choose which new patterns you now wish to create.
Aventurine may be calling you to accept the healing that your growth has supplied you. It is sometimes difficult to see how much we have grown until we try on an old aspect of our life that no longer fits. If you are still trying to squeeze into relationships, careers, habits, or thoughts that you have outgrown, make a conscious effort to celebrate your own growth by ritually giving away these old creations, and welcoming the you that you have become.
Like the fairy of growth, the Universe is sending you Light and love, assisting you in the growth that is necessary before you can experience your full potential.
CHAKRA: Heart
AFFIRMATION: I celebrate my growth, and release those aspects that no longer serve me."
My message for you today is this:
Crystal energy is a gift from Mother Earth to vibrationally support us in our lives here in the physical. Different crystals hold a particular vibration, and further to that, each individual crystal holds it's own unique calibration of that vibration. As we are also vibrational beings, we will each be drawn to certain crystals at certain times (energy is always in flux and flow). Trust in your intuition in this regard. You don't need to KNOW the properties that a certain crystal can share with you, or even the name of the crystal...you need only feel drawn to it, for it to be of assistance. Green Aventurine is a wonderful Ally to present for us in the current prevailing energies! We are in a time of transformation and the Universe is supporting us in that---especially when we strive to utilize the energies being offered consciously. Aventurine has presented to validate that you are in a period of growth, and to assist you vibrationally in this. Perhaps you will choose to have a piece of Aventurine to support you, as well as to remind you that you ARE growing toward your potential. You may wish to carry a small pocket stone with you, or to wear a bracelet or pendant. You may be drawn to place a piece of Aventurine by your bedside and ask that you be supported by it's vibration as you sleep. You may feel drawn to post the affirmation offered by Naisha for this crystal somewhere where you will see it often, as a reminder that you ARE moving in the right direction in a conscious way. Aventurine is a great crystal to have with you when you are taking a course; are involved in study; when you are stepping out of an old pattern and into a new one; or when you are taking on a challenge that will encourage your growth, such as an interview or public speaking. It's energy will bring you to the heart of the matter, which is where true growth happens.
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Wednesday, July 26th/17. Your card today dropped out of the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' card deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'Between Worlds', and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS: Transitions; not being quite out of one situation and fully engaged in another.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE: Between the worlds is where you must let go of the tendency to make assumptions. This is a time when you are unable to see what is ahead. Cultivate curiosity, and trust the process of change and growth. You are done learning the lessons of recent experiences. In this place, between what WAS and what WILL BE, is a state of making, and unmaking, and making again. What is essential NOW is to admit not knowing. There is great freedom and power to be unleashed. A mystery that is not yours to understand weaves the web of life, within a Divine matrix of consciousness greater than your own thoughts, feelings, beliefs, desires, and decisions. The seeds that were planted in the past begin to take root, but what surfaces will probably not be what you expect. When you are between the worlds, you are invited to see with the curious eyes of a child glimpsing a rainbow for the first time. Do so and you will not be disappointed."
My message for you today is this:
A quote of Oprah Winfrey's came to mind as I typed your message from Colette for this card: "God can dream a bigger dream for you than you can dream for yourself, and your role on Earth is to attach yourself to that divine force and let yourself be released to it."
A perfect illustration of your message today, I believe! It is about 'surrender', but know that 'surrender' does NOT imply inaction! You take guided action toward your goals and dreams...you plant the seeds, and you cultivate and care for the seeds...with the understanding that just how and when these seeds will present is in the hands of a force that far surpasses our physical implications. As I say so often here: The Universe is conspiring in your favour. The miraculous ways in which we are supported rely on your faith. We are entering the eclipse season, which cosmically supports us in making transitions in our life circumstances. Choose to consciously embrace these energies and to utilize them in transforming your life in ways that are Soulful for you. As Colette advises in her message...hold the stance of curiosity. Just how will the Universe bring to fruition your dreams and desires?
Blessed be...
