Reading for March 1-6: The Lady of the Lake

March is here! I'm already feeling the spring--living in the South--the daffodils are already in bloom and we are having 70 degree days. Many changes have been happening in my life--I started a new job and have been having a hard time balancing all aspects of my life. I don't have the time currently to do a 3 card reading for the week, but I thought it was more important that I do a reading than no reading at all--I hope you agree. So, I have decided to pull an Oracle card for the week from the Wisdom of Avalon Oracle cards by Colette Baron-Reid.

The card for the week is The Lady of the Lake--A Messengers of Avalon card. It's interesting that the sword comes up in this reading--I have been working a lot with the energies of Archangel Michael this weekend and will continue to work with him this whole week. Here is the female parallel of Michael--The Lady of the Lake's sword is the sword of truth. The energies of this card and the focus of this week is to be honest, to act with integrity, and to be courageous. There is no second-guessing here. You are being called to move forward regardless of the challenges that may come with this action--this change.

"In the ancient legend of Avalon, the Lady of the Lake presented Merlin with the sword of truth, which had been claimed by Arthur, who became the High King of Britain. The magic that welded this metal was fired by the will of the God and the Goddess. Consequently, when the Lady of the Lake appears, she demands nothing short of total truth and integrity; and she asks that you be mindful of the signs, signals, and omens that present themselves to you. Seek the sword of truth within yourself and great success will be yours. Have courage when the Lady appears, the strength of Avalon is behind you in support of your quest for wholeness and abundance."

The month of March is a month of renewal, planting seeds, and starting to take action. We are starting to come out of the slumber of the winter months, even if winter is still around you--the energies of spring are blooming within you. What do you want to start to nurture within you--what do you want to grow this year? Really look at what you are feeling and what you want--have faith and courage to move forward in creating a life that is soul fulfilling.

I am offering a special for the month of March--it's a rebirthing/renewal spread. It is a 6 card reading-looking at balance, growth, regeneration, "fertility", and potential in your life. I will also pull an Oracle card for your question. I am offering this reading for $20 (usually $30).

Many blessings to you and yours!

Sorry I have been absent. I was sick and then I just recently started a new job. I have been going through major transitions. But I really wanted to pull card for the weekend, which is leading up to the full moon on Monday. We are already entering the energies of the full moon in Virgo.

With all full moons, brings a level of sensitivity and heightened emotions. But it is magnified by the moon being in Virgo. You may have some uncomfortable feelings, negative thoughts, and possible anxiety in the coming days. You may be feeling the opposite--you may feel very focused, motivated, and task oriented. Maybe even a combination of the two. However you are feeling/whatever you are thinking--this is an opportunity to heal and to take action that can greatly improve your life. Anything from committing to a healthier lifestyle, to doing some early Spring cleaning, to being of service to others---will shift you out of your potential negative and worrisome thoughts and/or feelings.

I started out pulling a card from the Mermaids and Dolphins Oracle deck, but spirit guided me to a different deck--Earth Magic Oracle deck by Stephen Farmer. The card for the weekend is CRYSTALS: FOCUS. This is such a perfect card for this full moon weekend. The crystal connected to this card is Amethyst, which is one of the most powerful healing quartz crystals. This card reminds us that crystals help to focus the power of our life force. They magnify where our attention goes. If used in connection to your intention setting and manifestation work--this crystal, as well as so many others, helps to bring that intuition to fruition.

"It is time to bring your complete focus to the subject of your inquiry. Eliminate all distractions, and give this your undivided attention. Whether this is a project, relationship, or simply a relaxing time spent walking in Nature, be fully present to the situation. This sharpening of focus will expand your awareness and allow your inner guidance to penetrate your consciousness, which can then be parlayed into appropriate action. By being focused with crystal clarity, you are in the flow of your life force and, in fact, have become one with it. It is not a hypervigilant or tension-filed state, but one of relaxed attention. Keep your eyes , ears, and heart focused on that which you need to pay attention to, and miracles can be created..."

I am offering a full moon special--if you order yours anytime between Friday, February 19th-Wednesday 24th--you can get a Celtic Cross 10 card reading (an in depth look at past, present, environment, relationships, inner and outer influences and future) for only $30 (usually $50)! Private message me for yours.

Blessings to you and yours!

Aquarius New Moon and Valentine's Day Reading for February 8-14

Tomorrow (Monday, February 8th) is the New Moon in Aquarius and the Chinese Fire Monkey New Year. This is still a time of year of major new beginnings. We are still shedding the past--the old year, giving gratitude for the gifts and lessons there. Aquarius is a very rebellious sign and the energy of Aquarius is very innovative and can bring about impactful awakening and healing. The Chinese Fire Monkey New Year brings an element of adventure and ambition to 2016. 

I am using the Fairy Tarot cards for this reading. I wanted to use a deck that had some festivity, liveliness, and an Aquarian vibe to it.

The first card is for the beginning of the week and it's Strength. This is a major arcana card, some of the most powerful in tarot. There can be some challenges during the beginning of the week--you are being asked to maintain your divine inner strength. There may be some irritability this week--in yourself and/or others. Try to maintain neutrality and remember that kindness and forgiveness are important aspects to strength. There is much power in them. The symbols of the lion and the lamb in this card represent that strength within gentleness. Another message here is to stay strong in your convictions--be who you truly are--no apologies--no need to justify yourself to others.

The second card for the middle of the week is Ace of Spring. Aces are all about new beginnings and spring is connected to the element of fire--full of passion, creativity, action, adventure, self development, and risk taking. For those of us in the Southern states--Spring is kinda already here--flowers are already in bloom--life is stirring. For those of you in the Northern states, where winter is still going strong--life is stirring beneath the snow and ice. Last week was the Celtic Pagan Sabbat of Imbolc, celebrating fire and light. Brigid, the goddess connected to Imbolc, is the protector of home, the flame keeper, and young mother who nurtures the seeds of spring and our inner seeds we plant for growth, renewal, and abundance for the year. Now is the time to plant those seeds and to start taking action. Stand in your strength and have the courage to go after your dreams and desires. This is a time of opportunity as well, particularly connected to your career--to your work life. Release any inclination towards perfectionism and feeling like you have to have every detail fleshed out. As you make steps, all the next steps will make themselves known as you continue and move forward on your path.

The third card, which is for the weekend and for Valentine's Day is another major arcana card--Balance. Make sure you take time to listen to others perspectives this weekend. There may be a need for compromise. There is an energy of impulsivity this week--try to balance these energies within you and refrain from making rash decisions. It is important to take some quiet time this weekend--meditate, spend time in nature, spend some time alone, journal--do anything that helps you relieve stress and anxiety. Call upon the fairies to help you release these and embrace playful and peaceful feelings. This time spent in reflection may help you come up with solutions to a decision you need to make. Things will come to you creatively. The images on this card symbolize the balance of feminine energy (red) and masculine energy (white). They come together in the Chalice, reminding us that the balance of the two energies within ourselves and within our environment that brings about a balance that brings creation, success, health, and joy. There is a lot of imbalance between the feminine and masculine energies in our society. It can cause so many unnecessary problems, conflict, and pain. For the women in the work world--especially in environments where you feel like you have to take on and express more masculine energy than your divine feminine. Remember that when you leave the office--leave that at the door. If you are single, it will help you attract the right partner--if you are in a relationship, it will deepen and strengthen your bond. Ladies--take some time this weekend to deepen into your feminine energy. Sometimes the quickest and most effective ways are to pamper yourself, dress like the goddess you are--put on some sensual music and move your body in soft, rolling movements. If you are married or in a relationship--involve your partner when you feel like you're in your feminine energy. Valentine's day is a perfect time to find that balance again. Sensuality and luxury abound.

I would like to take this time to address something that often isn't at this time of year. For those of you out there who are grieving the loss of a relationship or someone, have been going through a divorce, or have been searching for your partner for a long time--I know Valentine's Day can be challenging and sometimes painful. Just remember that you aren't alone and that Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic relationships. Take some time to express your love and appreciation for your family and friends--surround yourself with those who love and support you. This is also a time to do some self care--love yourself--you are beautiful and deserve love and abundance.

Whether you are celebrating your relationship, marriage, family, friends, yourself--or all of the above, I am sending you lots of love and blessings for an abundant and successful year!

I am offering a choice of 3 different spreads for February's special--one is a relationship spread--this is usually about a romantic relationship, but it can be for any relationship. It's a 12 card reading that brings about clarity and insights into yourself and into your partner. This spread can also be applied to single people who want to get information about a future relationship. It is $40 (usually $60). The second special offering is a "should I stay or should I go" spread. It's a 6 card reading for $20 (usually $30). The third special is a heart healing/heart chakra spread--are you experiencing a broken heart right now? If so, this is the spread for you. It is a 5 card spread, with an Oracle card pulled for a specific question you might have. I am offering this for $15 (usually $30).
