Earth Magic Oracle Reading for 1/25-1/31

Hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed the first Full Moon of the year. I am called to use the Earth Magic Oracle deck by Steven Farmer for this week's reading.

The first card is for the first part of the week--it's Dance--Celebration! We are still in the energies of the full moon--the Wolf moon. We are still feeling wild and free. We danced and played music before we learned to speak to one another--it's in our primal ancestral blood. This is how we told stories and created lasting memories that were passed down to future generations. This is a time of both an honoring and celebration of self, but also a communal celebration in which each person plays their part--everyone's voice is heard and everyone is seen. Rituals are created--Spirit is invoked and connection to Spirit is expressed. "The participation of the community in this heartfelt enactment helps secure the bonds of the people and connects them to their spiritual and ancestral roots. When we celebrate anything in this way, it always touches a deep sense of love, gratitude, and appreciation."

Take this time to focus on what you want to celebrate in your life. If you are feeling depressed and have a difficult time focusing on anything to celebrate--think about a time in your life that was the most celebratory experience you've ever had. That can help you find at least one thing in your life worth honoring and celebrating. Take some time during the beginning of the week to move your body--pay attention to what you're drawn to--what kind of music do you choose? Do you want to move slow or fast? How does the movement make you feel? You may feel called to sing as well--what are you singing? Play a drum or shake your tambourine. Journal your experiences. You might even want to write a song about what you are celebrating. If you feel moved to share your experience and/or your creation, please comment below.

"God's wish is for everyone to enjoy their time on Earth, and part of that wish is to celebrate your capacity to be joyous and express it through your body. Whether in private, with a small group of friends, or a large communal gathering, let music, song, and dance be a part of your sacred ceremony regardless of what you are celebrating. For truly, any celebration is sacred."

For the middle of the week--Fog--Veiled. There will be a slight pause in the middle of the week. You might be feeling a little confused and have difficulty making decisions. Be okay with that and hold onto faith that the fog will lift and the sun will shine through. Allow for silence and stillness.
"...Even within the thickest fog, we can be assured that it will eventually burn off as the sun's rays infiltrate the veil. Once they do so, we can anticipate how the light and warmth will bring us welcome relief from the cold. As the sun continues to disperse the fog, our surroundings become illuminated, and we have the opportunity to continue onward." "....No matter what attempts you make right now to make things happen or move in any specific direction out of impatience or frustration, you risk only creating more confusion and uncertainty. So be still and patient. Wait for that first glimmer of awareness to lift the veil so that you can see the choices before you more clearly and can then choose to align yourself with the will of Spirit."

For the weekend--Volcano--Volatility. Life comes out of destruction and release. Like the Phoenix Rising, a death is required for rebirth and for growth. We will soon be entering the time of rebirth in the Wheel of the Year--with Imbolc, the festival of fire and light, happening next week and the Spring Equinox--we are preparing for our rebirth. Before I pull cards, I meditate and call in my guides and angels. Sometimes my animal spirits show up and sometimes I get images that I know are connected to a reading. One of the images I saw was a dragon. First time seeing a dragon and feeling the dragon energy. I am actually not all that familiar with dragon energy. Something I will explore more. The dragon was red with a scaly serpentine prickly arrow-like tail. This weekend, invoke the primal, ancient, supernatural wisdom within you and the wisdom that comes from the "eruptions" that may be happening in your life. Dramatic changes may make you feel unsafe and insecure, but hold on to the knowledge that it's all happening for a reason. It may help you to reassess your life, your choices, and maybe even your relationship(s). "Although these events may rock your world, know that Spirit is the guiding force behind them. It is a matter of finding your trust that Life knows what it is doing in the midst of these storms of change. It also requires you to make adjustments quickly and to not cling to what was, but instead move forward and welcome with your arms wide open what is yet to come, all from a place of being present in this moment. You truly have nothing to fear."
Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of Volcanos is connected to this card. She shows us that fire can purify, release us from the old to make way for the new, and ignite our passions. "Pele is described as 'She who shapes sacred land,' and it's from this magnificent and powerful goddess being and her periodic eruptions that new Earth is formed as the resulting lava merges with her sister, the goddess of the sea, Na-maka-o-kaha'i." Call upon Pele to help you get in touch with your true passion, or to deepen in your passion--to motivate and excite you. She will help you feel deeply and release fear of taking action to manifest your dreams and desires.

I hope the reading resonated with you! Have a beautiful week--let us know how things unfold for you this week if you're moved to do so.

This is the last week of the New Year's 12-card special, plus Oracle card for $40 (usually $60). I am a little backed up with readings, but if you order yours before the end of the month--and I can't get to it next week, I will honor the offering and do your reading the first week of February.

Many blessings to you and yours!

Healing with the Fairies Reading for Tuesday, January 19-Sunday, January 24

People in my circles have been dealing with a lot of grief, loss, depression, mental and physical health problems. I am feeling called to do a reading for healing. We have a full moon in Leo this weekend. As some of you know the full moon can heighten any feelings you're having, but there is also an opportunity to release and heal. This weekend is a great time to do some heart chakra meditations--to work on heart healing and to do something creative. It doesn't have to be anything fancy--you could even do some simple crafting or drawing with your kids, if you have them. A message I am getting right now is that a lot of us are doing or needing to do some inner child healing--to nurture and love our inner child. Being around children can help you get in touch with that part of you--if you feel you've lost it.

For Tuesday and Wednesday the card is Be Honest with Yourself. This is time to do some inner reflection. This card echoes what I was already sensing--you may be feeling stuck, depressed, angry, and/or anxious. These feelings can come up if we aren't being honest with ourselves. You might feel like you can't afford to be honest with yourself or that you don't have a choice in a particular matter. This card is just a gentle nudge for you to admit your true feelings to yourself. I know it's really cold where most of us live right now and it might not be a good time to get outside--if it's not, at least look out a window at the trees and the sky. Watch the clouds roll and sit in direct sunlight for at least 15 minutes. Close your eyes and allow the warmth of the sun to wash over you. Buy some flowers if you can and do a flower meditation. Even if you can't see or hear the fairies, send them your thoughts, your feelings, and your experiences. Ask them to help you get in touch with your deepest innermost feelings. The fairies can hold a mirror up to you so that you can see and admit your truth. Here's an affirmation: "It's safe for me to be honest with myself and with others. I speak my truth with love."

For Thursday and Friday the card is Inner Power. This is a perfect card and makes perfect sense after the first one--in being honest with yourself, you move into inner power. Allow yourself to experience and express your true power--this is not the power of the ego--this is true pure divinely inspired power. Your guides will bring you opportunities to use and expand your power in ways that bring blessings to you and everyone around you. Heaven needs the lightworkers of the world, including you, to realize and utilize their power. You are being asked to release any fears you might have surrounding your power. Also--have you given your power away? If so, especially for the women out there--it's time to take it back!! You have a right to feel a sense of high self-esteem and to honor yourself by taking very good care of your body, mind, and spirit. Keep working on your dreams and aspirations for what you want to manifest--spend time in prayer and meditation. Maybe continue with some of the suggestions that go along with the first card. The better you feel about yourself and your sense of self-worth, the more comfortable you will be with owning and utilizing your power for the greater good of all. Here's an affirmation: "It is safe for me to be powerful! I have all the power of the Universe flowing through me and supporting me!"

For Saturday and Sunday (the full moon) the card is Make Music. This also echoes the messages I was getting before I pulled cards--this weekend is a time to do something creative. Take time to sing, play a drum, or any other musical instrument--if you don't feel called to make music--turn on some music and feel it lift your soul to a higher level. You will be in a better mood and have a more positive outlook. The fairies play music at their celebrations because they know it is therapeutic. You are guided to surround yourself with music this weekend--maybe go and listen to some live music--dance around. Whatever music you're drawn to--it might be slow and relaxing, or quick and joyful. Take time to notice how it makes you feel--does your mood feel lifted? Do you have more energy? Make note of any songs you might hear repeatedly, either on the radio or in your mind. The lyrics, or the memories brought up by a song, could contain messages for you that will answer a specific question that might have been on your mind of late. Here's an affirmation: "Deep within my soul, I now accept and experience the healing power of music."

I hope you enjoyed the reading and you have a week full of reflection, healing, and creative expression.

I am still offering the New Year's special for the 12 months ahead, plus an intuitively chosen oracle card for $40 (usually $60). This special will be over on the 31st. This is such a great time of year to get a reading--it's so comprehensive and you can re-visit it all year. This is also a great week to get a reading--harnessing the energies of the full moon.

Many blessings to you and yours! May you have deep healing and restoration this week!

Water Reading for the week of January 11-17

January can always be a little emotional, so I am drawn to work with the energies of water for the reading for this week. Today and tomorrow the moon that is coming out of the New Moon energies is in Aquarius--so I feel like working with the Magical Mermaids and Dolphins Oracle Cards. 

For tonight and tomorrow: Morning Affirmations. If you don't already do affirmations, this is a good time to start doing it--it will help you all year long. Begin each day with positive intentions and affirmations. Before getting out of bed, take some deep breaths and take a few moments to think about your dreams and desires. What do you want today to look like? This week? Don't worry about how to manifest--just allow yourself to imagine that they have already been manifested. Make one or more positive affirmations connected to your desires. When you open your eyes, write down your affirmations and intentions (keep a journal and a pen near your bedside). During the day, you can revisit your affirmations and intentions--read them or say them out loud. In addition, since the days are still really short for most of us--take some time to sit in the morning light, and breath all of its' warmth and beauty in. 

For Wednesday and Thursday: Treasure Chest. The abundance continues and your prayers for financial support have been heard--assistance is going to arrive. It will come to you in unexpected ways. Stay in a state of gratitude and keep with your positive intentions and affirmations that the money and assistance is already manifested, even if there's no visible evidence of it yet. When you feel grateful before it comes, it reveals your faith, which is the energy that draws riches to you without delay. This may show up in the form of money, or it may come as a new opportunity, brilliant idea, or gifts from others. Bless and honor Heaven's gifts however they manifest for you. Your gratitude ensures continued, overflowing abundance in your life. Affirm: "Thank you for all of the support, supply, abundance, and money that you bring to me. I am grateful for these riches, which I use in Divine ways to bring blessings to the earth." 

The card for the weekend is: Accept Heaven's Help. You've asked what you should do next and this card is telling you to "Trust that your prayers have been heard and answered. Simply rest and retreat for now. After all, you prayed for Divine intervention, so step aside and let Heaven intervene, as this is the help you prayed for." Go into quiet contemplation this weekend--do some praying and meditation and ask Heaven to give you very clear, easily understandable guidance, letting you know if you need to take any action at this particular time. In the meantime, enjoy knowing that your angels and guides surround you and your situation with loving care. This time of year is a time of resting and retreating. Allow yourself to get some extra sleep, pamper yourself, spend some time alone. Mercury and Jupiter are Retrograde, so it's an even better time to do this. If you take any action this weekend, it will be reviewing, reorganizing, reassessing, and/ or reuniting with old friends or family members you haven't seen in a while. If you do gather with people this weekend, make sure you balance that time with time spent alone. 

I hope the reading resonated with everyone and that you have a beautiful week full of abundance and manifestation. 

I am offering an extra special this week only that goes along with the 12 card reading for 2016 for $40 (usually $60). I will intuitively choose an oracle deck to pull a card from in addition to the 2016 tarot reading.

Reading for the New Moon and this Weekend--January 15-17

The first New Moon of the year is this Saturday. New Moons are great for intention setting, especially for the beginning of the year. This New Moon is a little different because Mercury is in Retrograde, which typically isn't good for intention setting. Even so, if you haven't set your intentions yet for the month and/or the year ahead--I encourage you to do so. I am co-hosting my first New Moon gathering this weekend and we will be burning our intentions. If you feel called, comment below your intention, and I will burn them and help you send them up on the eve of the New Moon.

I am using a new deck for this reading--it is the Silver Witchcraft Tarot deck by Barbara Moore. It is a beautiful deck--I hope you enjoy!

The first card is for tomorrow--Friday. It's The Seven of Swords. Swords represent air and air is the realm of the intellect. It's where we speak our truths, analyze situations, and make decisions. It's connected to justice, communication, and anything connected to the intellect--to reason. Fear and worry can live here because they are of the mind. It is a very powerful suit. This is a card of resistance--the wind will always blow, while it's possible to walk against the wind--is that the right course of action? Sometimes it's better to go with the wind. The world may be pushing you and you might be pulling in the opposite direction. Today, think about how you can go with the wind, rather than resist it.

For Saturday--the New Moon--I am pulling a card from the Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Deck by Colette Baron-Reid. This is such a timely card--it's Birth-Rebirth! From the Sacred Journey Markers-the message here is one of inspiration and new life. This is time for a new project, endeavor, career, relationship, or idea to form and be birthed into the world. This is the perfect time of year for this card--with birth and re-birth--there is always a little death. This is a time for transformation--anything that is old from the previous year or anything that has caused pain can transform into a new way. We are going through the process of birthing/re-birthing--and the time leading up to the birth can feel uncomfortable and may be painful. There will be a shift into your new life and beauty will arise out of surrender and release. You have come so far on your journey and are now in a place where you can celebrate your ideas, accomplishments, and all the new gifts that are coming into your life. Remember that when you are connected with the Divine, which is the true source of creativity and power--your dreams will become manifested.

For Sunday, I am returning to the Silver Witchcraft deck. The card is Two of Wands. Wands represent fire. Passion, action, creativity, risk-taking, and self-development are all connected to the element of fire/wands. This card represents the winter and the moment just before dawn. This card is also connected to the Winter Solstice/Yule--we are just coming out of this time of year. This time is still about quiet contemplation and holding onto faith. The sun rises each day--there's always a new day. There can be an energy of impatience here--that you might be eager to get started and there may be some frustration here. This card is a reminder that this is a time to wait, to be patient, and to trust in divine timing. This is just a pause--this is not a long wait. As soon as you see the first glimmer of light--you will intuitively know that it's time to start--you will be given a boost of energy to help you along your path. For now ponder your options and make plans--that way when you do take action--the pieces will come together and things will seemingly effortlessly manifest. This is the moment before the leap--the leap of faith and the leap of action. This card is very much connected to career--changes connected to career, new businesses and decision making that affects your career and potential new businesses or existing business.

I hope this reading resonated with you--it is resonating so deeply with me. May you have a wonderful New Moon weekend! I am offering a special for the month of January--it's a 12 card reading for the months ahead in 2016. It's only $40 (usually $60).

Many blessings to you and yours! I can't wait to see how the year unfolds for you!

New Year's Blessings: Integration

Happy New Year! It's 2016!! I am so excited for what's to come in the New Year! For one thing, I am returning to my tarot roots--and will be offering readings using more traditional tarot decks. Today, I am working with a new deck that incorporates Welsh Celtic mythology. It's the Llewellyn Tarot by Anna-Marie Ferguson. I have been so busy with family, friends, and holiday plans--so I am doing a simple one card reading. However, one card jumped out--so that card will be included. 

The card that I pulled was Ten of Swords. First, I want to say, that while I am using more traditional tarot cards, I will sometimes interpret messages in a way similar to the Angel cards. Swords represent air--the realm of the intellect. They also represent action that can be constructive or destructive; change; power; bravery; leadership; responsibility; ambition; conflict. This is where your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes live. My interpretation of this card for everyone is that if you have positive thinking, behaviors, attitudes, and actions--you will not experience the potential extreme shadow of this card, which can bring about a lot of loss, hurt, misfortune, and grief. The message I get for us is that this year is bringing about the major end of something in our lives. It's really going to be time for a lot of us to start a big new chapter of life. To take that leap of faith--as we know with change can come the bittersweet feelings of endings that are moving into new beginnings. The other message I am getting is that while we all know that it's important to know our shadow--it's very important to integrate our shadow with our light. While I was meditating before pulling a card--I saw a big spiral moving and twirling--a message of integration--the yin and the yang.

The card that "jumped" out is the Queen of Pentacles. Pentacles represents the earthly plane--it's connected to what we do to make a living, money, home, education, and health. The Queen of Pentacles brings abundance and prosperity. She brings security, generosity, grace, and opulence. This validates my vision of spiral integration. The image of the yin and the yang--that without the dark we can't know the light. It's the balance of these two energies that will bring about deep soulful happiness and success for us all in 2016.

For the month of January, I am offering a 12 card reading for the year ahead--one card for each month. I will be using traditional tarot decks for these readings as well as the angel cards and oracle cards. If you have a preference for traditional or angel readings, let me know, otherwise, I will intuitively choose. This special reading is being offered for $40 (it's usually $60)! To purchase, just go to the top of the page and click on the Paypal menu of reading options. You can also email me at sharea@me.com.
