There will be no card reading Friday, March 31st/17 (where HAS the month of March gone?!?). Spring cleaning of our barn in preparation for our upcoming markets continues this morning, as we had appointments yesterday afternoon. Busy times...
I had to share this photo captured of young birds in their first flight. They would never fly if they didn't take that first leap of faith and trust that they COULD fly. What leap of faith are you being called to take so that you can be all that you came here to be? Don't let fear hold you back. You can't experience the ecstasy of your Soul in flight, if you don't take that courageous leap of faith. You don't have to have the entire journey all mapped out. No doubt there will be detours along the way. Just jump in, with the confidence that Spirit will lead the way.
Blessed be...

This is your card reading for Wednesday, March 29th/17. Your card today glided out of the 'Nature-Speak Oracle' deck, authored by Ted Andrews. Your card is from the 'Tree Oracles' suit of this deck (I kept the deck in tact as I shuffled to reveal your card today...it 'just so happened' that your card is from the Tree Oracles). As Ted explains in his guidebook for this deck: ". . .Trees possess great magical and spiritual attributes. Each has its own unique spirit . . .Trees are a source of energy, healing and creativity. Some trees are guardians and some are keepers of knowledge and wisdom. They possess gentle spirits and they all are powerful oracles throughout our life---if we take the time to listen to their soft whispers."
Your card today is 'Oak ~ Be strong and gentle'. Ted's message for the card is this:
"The Oak has tremendous myth and lore surrounding it, and its energy always awakens great strength and endurance. Trust in your strength and assert it---gently. People and events will respond.
Opportunity to use your strengths to help others will increase over the next few weeks. Act on them. It will bring rewards for you down the road and open up new contacts and avenues for new creative endeavors.
The acorn is a symbol of fertility and fruition. From it comes the mighty Oak. From the acorns of your past, mighty Oaks are beginning to mature. Be patient and strong and things will unfold for you. Strength manifests sometimes in persistence and endurance. Do not give up. Remain strong. Even though your acorns are not growing as fast as you would like, they will eventually come to fruition.
Be gentle with yourself and others around you. . . True strength is always gentle, so be gentle with yourself."
My message for you today is this:
I KNOW that you have been feeling the call of your potential! These are absolutely the energies that we have been in! Despite how things may 'seem' regarding your current life circumstances, trust in the acorns that you have sown. We remain in the powerful manifestation energy of yesterday's New Moon, and so it is important to focus upon what you wish to bring forth. Be specific! Understand that you have the strength and fortitude to bring it into being...not FORCE it into being, but to lovingly gestate it into being. Take the necessary steps as they present to you. Tenacity may be required...the willingness to keep moving in the direction you need to, even though the winds may blow in ways you hadn't foreseen. The limbs of an Oak tree are strong but supple. This is what allows them to withstand--and even to thrive--through all sorts of conditions.
I so appreciate Ted's message: "True strength is always gentle..." as this is a core belief of mine! This quote by Ralph W. Sockman: "Nothing is so strong as gentleness and nothing is so gentle as real strength", personifies the energy that the Oak tree is offering you today.
Persistence and patience lead toward your potential! Call upon the image of the Oak tree to assist you in moving through these winds of change...they ARE blowing in your favor!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Tuesday, March 28th/17---the day of the New Moon in Aries!
Your card today slid out of the 'Gateway' oracle card deck authored by Denise Linn. Your card is 'Manifesting Dreams' and Denise's message for the card is this:
"~My dreams are coming true!~
CARD MEANING: Life goes in cycles. There is a time for planting seeds and a time for harvesting bounty. Right now is your time for harvesting. Your innermost dreams and desires are manifesting. Don't stop the flow by doubting the process. All is unfolding according to your highest good.
THE UNIVERSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW: The seeds of desires you planted so long ago (perhaps even before this life) are coming to fruition. Sometimes it's simply a matter of being still, opening your heart, and knowing that you deserve your dreams to come true. You are worthy of greatness, and you have the ability to manifest your deepest and most heartfelt wishes. Timing is everything, and the moment is ripe for those lingering desires to be realized. The bounty of the Universe is pouring into your life.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF: What do I truly desire? Is there anything I need to release in order to reach my dreams? What steps can I take to help my heartfelt wishes come true in my life?"
My message for you today is this:
How Divinely perfect that this card revealed itself from Denise's deck for you on this day of the New Moon! You have often read here that the New Moon holds the overriding energy of MANIFESTATION, and that the theme of each New Moon is further accented by the other prevailing cosmic energies at that specific time. Look back to the messages I have posted that have been leading up to today...they have all held the theme of stepping more fully into living your life 'on purpose', and today is no exception! Just as I was typing that last sentence, I heard the call of Canada geese outside my office window. According to Ted Andrews, Goose brings this message for us: "Heed the call to the new quest. Open to new wonders and possibilities. Pursue new adventures. Explore new travels." I have also written often here about my core belief that there IS no coincidence...only synchronicity. That the geese flying over and making themselves heard at the same time as I was typing that sentence for you message was no coincidence, but was meant to inspire my incorporating that message into your reading today also. Focus your time and attention upon moving forward toward your dreams. Pay attention to opportunities and situations that present for you that may even seen 'unrelated' to how you would see your dream moving forward. We don't always know the impact that certain situations and circumstances may have 'in the big scheme of things'. If a thought crosses your mind that you feel you should take action on, that is not happening by accident. Do not discount it! Take action, even if doing so feels somewhat challenging or pushes you outside your comfort zone, or simply feels 'new'. You are meant to take this action. Utilize the energy of manifestation being offered you by this New Moon and move even closer toward manifesting your long held dreams.
Blessed be...
I have a busy morning ahead and so there will be no card reading Monday, March 27th/17---a 22 Master Day (2+7+0+3+2+0+1+7). Yet on this powerful energetic day, I wanted to remind you that you may find that you feel compelled to take action of some sort in regards to living your life 'on purpose'. Do not drop into a state of overwhelm about this! Just take the first step, and then the next, and so on... Don't look to the staircase that may be in front of you...look to each stair.
Blessings to you,
Linda
This is your card reading for Friday, March 24th/17. Your card today slid out of the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' deck authored by Colette Baron-Reid. Your card is 'Yang' and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS: The masculine principle of movement and creative activity; the power to make things happen; taking action.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE: Yang represents the power of action, the energies that propel the world forward, and manifesting thought and desire into concrete form. Now is the perfect time to act, for you can easily build momentum and make headway. What you want will come to fruition if you proceed confidently. This card signifies new life and is a sure sign that obstacles have been overcome. There is no reason to hesitate. You are the shaper of your own destiny now."
My message for you today is this:
Wow!! Can it be said to you in any other way this week? Have you picked up on the overriding theme of the messages for you of late? No more procrastination! No more self-doubt! No more being anything less than the fullest expression of WHO you came here to be! This quote came to mind as I was typing up Colette's message for this card:
"The bridge that you still don't see will be visible once you start walking with courage and determination towards it. ~Roxanna Jones~"
And also the words to the George Michaels song, 'You've gotta have faith, faith, faith...' keep running through my mind for your message today. Take action, and have faith that all is happening as it is meant to. Take responsibility for your life and how you will choose to navigate your way through it. What is your Soul telling you about the footprint you wish to leave during your time here? Choose to consciously create how you will express that. The time for contemplation and self-examination has passed, and you are in the energies of DOING now! Utilize the energetic momentum being offered, even if it seems as though you are not 'seeing' the progression you think you should be at this moment in time...that bridge is there awaiting you. Have faith, and take courageous, determined steps toward it!
Blessed be...
This is your card reading for Thursday, March 23rd/17. Your card today sprung out of the 'Energy Oracle' card deck authored by Sandra Anne Taylor. Your card is 'The World', and Sandra's message for the card is this:
"~Expansion, Opening Up~
The man in this picture is looking out over a bay, above which the beautiful sphere of the earth is rotating. This card is reminding you to expand your vision and contemplate some much broader options. The world is wide, so there's a lot out there to consider.
In the modern age of technology, this could specifically be referring to creating or expanding to a more global network through the internet or social marketing.
Drawing this card also lets you know that you have unlimited resources available to you, and now is the time to think big. As they say, the world is your oyster, so get ready to gobble it up.
AFFIRMATION: My life expands into boundless horizons with unlimited, powerful energy. A world of possibilities is open to me now."
My message for you today is this:
The sphere that is pictured with your card today is the 'Mother Earth' stone, whose energy assists us on the path toward our goals. It is comprised of reconstituted Clear Quartz and Cinnabar. You are being encouraged to dream a big dream for yourself and to hold the knowing that that dream IS attainable. It's time to embrace the possibilities and potentials that have been revealing themselves to you, and to take some sort of action step in the direction of realizing the life you are moving toward. This is a life of authentic expression, in whatever way that looks for you. It need not be standing on stage as a public speaker proclaiming to the world, in order to be of significance! It simply and profoundly means acknowledging your own unique and personal gifts that you have to share and stepping into expression of that. The truth is, you just can't help yourself...it will feel uncomfortable to 'be' the way you had, if you were not expressing authentically. That doesn't mean that you will not experience some discomfort in moving out of some of your old ways of being...old habits die hard sometimes. There is the powerful quote by Anais Nin that says: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
That speaks eloquently to the energies we are in at this time and in this year of 'courageous expression'. Your growth and expansion into your fullest self needn't be 'painful'...that's NOT the message for you today. The message is that limiting yourself now and remaining in 'status quo' will no longer feel comfortable and so you may feel a sense of urgency regarding the footprint of your life here on Earth. Be open to the opportunities and situations that present. Letting them 'pass you by' will not serve you at this time. They are presenting now for a reason...perfect Divine timing, even if it doesn't always seem so!
Blessed be...
