Lost in the Clouds 4/28/17

A shadowy figure sits among 7 cups in the clouds. A cascade of psychedelic energy surrounds them. Reminiscent of the chaos that has been life lately! We are nearing the end of a month long healing cycle. What has show up from your past? What didn't go as planned? What do you have in common with these uprisings? These are character traits or emotions that had to come forward to exit your body. Once they are out, you have more room to store your greatness. All month we've seen the horizon. We know that there is a climax coming, but, when? We've got to wait for Mercury to station direct, but our eyes and our hearts will open! For now we lay with confusion. We must set the ego aside and take power over our predicament, now. We've been going through uncomfortable waters to find out what we have to do or what we need for comfort. Ease is coming, but we have to keep going. An old proverb talked about there being many paths to the top of the mountain. There is no wrong way up. The only wrong way is to run around the mountain telling others they are making the wrong choice. We are all working on different aspects of our lives, but our time to be leaders and teachers is coming. We are the teachers for the new Universe. So, let's wait for the clouds to part to ground ourselves. We must gain our strength to pave new roads.

I PART THE CLOUDS WITH MY OWN WILL

Dutiful Elegance 4/27/17

The feelings of a new horizon have overcome us, but Mercury retro (guided by our beloved Magician) ushers in some situations from our past that have to be finalized before we move on entirely. With Venus still exhalted, we should be able to overcome these musings without burning bridges. Slow and steady progress creates stronger results than sudden miracles. Our Capricorn-led card of the day wants to remind us that the Earth is super old. The time we are alive is a blink in the Earth's eye. The way we feel it's progress is very different than the Universe, and can feel slow and painstaking. With our New Moon in Aries (remember, we're not looking at Western patterns anymore), we will feel the deepness of the red from this card in our root chakra and have plenty of energy to take on these challenges. Take pride in the process occurring over the next month. Find ways to grow wiser and more humble.

I APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF HARD WORK AND SEE EVERYTHING THROUGH TIL THE END. 

Galactic Trinity New Moon 4/26/17

We have entered extra data. We are emerging into outer limits, new territories. Since Monday, we have been progressing forward in our thought processes. Our minds are expanding. This is a necessary action in order to be one Earth. In order to expand our world, it is necessary that we become a cohesive planet, with cohesive goals and equality. We must become part of the galactic community. We must enter the era of light. Monday was the 9 of Swords, the Light and Dark. We emerged into our own self darkness for understanding and unconditional love for ourselves. This must continue all month long. We have to learn to accept all aspects of ourselves because we are perfect beings. If we accept our human nature and feel through our instincts, instead of greed and consumerism, we can be truly loving to ourselves. Can you tell ourself is the key word? We are one. It's time to unite! Tuesday brought in the 10 of Swords, a next step into our own process. The 10 of Swords is the, "Hall of Distorted Mirrors." We must get out of our own heads, and move past our social anxiety. Remember that you and your peers are perfect beings. Accept people as they are, and stop wishing people would change. When you think people are horrible, think of the ways they have been corrupted. How can you help fix that? Your awakening and eye-opening mindset that people are horrible is necessary for change. Be that change you want to see. Set the example. Many years ago a quarantine was placed on our planet. No other being would have any contact with us. We were exempt from the Universe. Two years ago that quarantine was lifted, but we have yet to see contact. Why? What progress needs to be made, and how can you contribute to this love and light? The Pleiadians, Arcturians, and the Sirians are looking for pure love and unconditional light. This is our time! The New Moon ushers in the Magician. How exciting is this trend?! Nine, ten, ONE! These progressive steps are exactly what we are looking for in our personal lives, and as a collective. Our minds are beginning to unite, and we are beginning to understand that we hold each elemental force--Earth, Air, Fire, Water--in our palms. We have SO much power. What you think and wish becomes your reality (if it betters your soul. Wishing for millions of dollars only adds corruption into your life...). Now is the time to stand up for our marginalized brothers and sisters and unite as a human species.

"I CHANNEL MY CREATIVE POWER FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL"

The Triumphant Spiritual Doctor 4/22-4/23/17

As the Sun begins to distance itself from Mercury, we find ourselves tangled in miscommunication once again. Feeling constricted, we may loose a little of our ambition. Think back to other times when you felt your worst. What pulled you through? You could surround yourself in lavender or pyrite. You could dance all night! Do what makes you smile. This will be a short lived feeling. There will always be those moments in life that feel mechanical, like you're just going through the motions. With the King of Pentacles, we are asked to harness the power of the physical realm, and heal ourselves through its potent wisdom. You are a well of knowledge. Think back and move forward. You are a beacon of strength!

I DRAW MY STRENGTH FROM THE EARTH

Coming Full Circle 4/21/17

Last Wednesday, the Saboath Sun released a cornonal mass ejection toward Earth. This always has some powerful magnetic movement. The name of this specific CME is 'The Brave Soldier." Reread Wednesday's card, look at the picture on the card. Try to retrace your steps for this day. What were you thinking about? This was the start of a new process for you. You were given a surge of energy which added great power to your thought process. If it was just an average day for you, with no significant new ideas or thought focus, don't worry. Your time will come. There are things you must finish first. For the rest of us, this process was kicked off, and it is in full circle today. The triumphant woman on the card is looking toward a horizon only she can see. These are very personal goals that we are focused on. Behind her is Venus, who is pushing forward in exhalation as we speak, giving us extra good luck and power towards those personal goals. This card comes with major transition. Things will most likely do some overlapping for you, there is rarely a tidy change of course in life. If you need an extra coffee or tea today, get one. It's a good time to make connections and check off lists!

I FIND COMPLETION IN MY HEART, AND I SEE THE NEW HORIZON. 

Rings of Wisdom 4/20/17

Lift up the arms and stretch them as tall as you can, arch your back, and push your heart up to the sky. Take some deep breaths. Before us, a Mayan pyramid rises and assimilates with the spiral galaxy. The pyramid represents physical body and the cosmic rings are spirit. Our body is no longer at odds with our spirit. Breath deep and feel connected. Body, mind, heart, and spirit--earth, air, water, and fire all flowing together effortlessly. We may experience feeling overwhelmed, unsure, elated, and tired today. Your body is tuning itself. If you would like to speed up this process and go deeper, I recommend watching an activation on Biancatown on Youtube, or visiting her in person in Portland, Maine. She's an incredible being, and can assist your growth in her youtube or by doing some distance healing. Begin your new expansive journey today. I'll tell a short story: This began for me the other day, 4/17/17 to be exact. I had just given my home a nice deep clean, all the corners and crevices shiny and spotless. I sat on my bed and didn't know how I was feeling. I felt so strange. So, I sat there and let my body go through what it needed. It only took a couple of minutes before I felt a deep comfort and joy. It was the first time I felt like my spirit and my body were working as one in a long time. I felt like an authentic human! I've really noticed a difference in my interactions with others and my energy levels as well. It's so funny how energy fields will just hit out of nowhere! It's coming for you too.

I HOLD THE POWER OF MY INNER LIGHT

Brave Pioneer 4/19/17

The Sun aligns with Mercury today to give us some sweet relief from the retrograde energetics. The Sun is in full combustion which will give us all a great burst of energy and send feelings of beauty, life lessons, and fickle mindedness abound. The Sun likes to shine light on the goodness of other planets and people. Today we put trust in the Sun and trust in ourselves. A month or so ago we tested the waters and tried to find comfort in places that were new to us. This is a perfect exercise to try again. The vast open plane lays before you, a burst of fireworks open up the sky to guide the way. Lesson our inner judgements and open our hearts to new surroundings and people. We can move beyond the shadows, into them, and through them.

I HOLD THE POWER OF MY INNER LIGHT

FULL RADIANCE 4/18/17

Brush yesterday right off of your shoulders and shine! Absorb the heat from Mars, let it warm you like a comforter during a snow storm. While some of our peers will still be processing leftover energetics from yesterday and feeling quick to frustration, the rest of us reflect a shining celestial body emerging from hibernation! Channel the blossoming love that Venus carries and let it flow like waves in the ocean. Let the love you radiate warm others hearts and make people smile. Blossoming love and success are ready and available to you today if you want it. All you have to do is speak positively and live like you want it. Always remember to be humble for all of the gifts you are about to receive!

I FEEL JOY FROM MY HEART CENTRE

Light and Dark 4/17/17

As we begin to feel the burst of love from Venus exhalted, we also get burnt by the harsh flames of Mars. There will be an imbalance in the duality today. The card is showing us a woman exuding self love and radiance, but the impending void behind her is closing in. It may be easy to lash out today. A test of sanity is upon us. We can control our perspective, so let's focus. Tame the beast that is your mind. Use a filter of kindness over all of your words, it will come as a surprise to many who are experiencing the same situation! Don't forget yourself as well! You may find it easier to put yourself down than to lift yourself up today. Try not to be too hard on yourself, you'll be back in no time.

I AM KIND TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AT ALL STAGES OF OUR PROCESS

Chaos ensues 4/17-4/23

The Mahavidya of the month is Chinnamasta, the goddess who expands minds. During the pandemonium that is this week, try to look deeper into situations. What are you learning from this? Sometimes we can't figure that out until much later down the road, but it will be important to realize that the universe is our teacher, and she has a lot of homework this week! We've been going through Mercury retrograde pretty strong, and while it's not over, the Sun will offer us a break midweek. The Sun will be in total combustion with Mercury which will bring about the positive side of our lovely little planet. Other than that, we'll be feeling the fire from Mars transiting Taurus all week. Deep breaths, hopefully all of the firey energy will make this week fly by!

A changing triumph on display 4/15-4/16/17

Venus heads direct on Saturday, into watery Pisces. This is a marvelous time for celebration because while Venus moves forward, it's in exhaultation! This means the planet will be moving at light speed until May 30th! This will give us an extra boost of energy to repair our health, wealth, and overall happiness! So, it would seem, that the Wheel of Fortune is spinning in the positive direction for us! There may be a lot coming to the surface for some of you as well, because some times it takes a few days to really feel the pull from a planet shifting in space. When a bunch of crap piles up for you, know that it's coming to the surface to not live within you anymore. As hard as it can be to deal with these things, they will all come to an end this week. Ride your horse into the rainbow and shine! Following your instincts and heart this weekend will lead you to your destiny. If something doesn't feel right, don't bother with it. No one has time for that!

EVERYTHING COMES TO ME AS I NEED IT

Overflowing Love 4/14/17

Yesterday we ended a cycle, and today we begin anew. The Ace of any suit is a major beginning of a new path or plateau in life. Today we walk forward in love. The woman on the card arches her back and receives radiant light of love. She is facing a vast horizon and surrounded by healing rainbows. Venus is having it's last day in retrograde today, forming this magnetic ball of intense energy. It will be propelling forward tomorrow and a rush will come over us. This Ace is here in preparation of such an intense moment. We are being invited into the womb of self-acceptance and light today. It's a good day to reach out to others and spread joy in your community.

I FIND LOVE IN ALL CORNERS OF MY HEART

A cosmic union in a changing constant 4/13/17

Today is an important day. We have the Wheel of Fortune, the next card in the Major Arcana after the Hermit. This is a progression in self, and helps us see revelations. Our Sun has entered Aries, and is helping us birth forth new ideas and a new way of looking at ourselves. That is what we've been looking for, right? We want to think less of how others perceive us and more about how we want to be. Who do you look up to and why? Someone is ready to look up to you. How do you want to inspire? The only constant in our lives is change. There are so many elements in play within ourselves and how we interact with society that there's always something changing. Our fortune, whether it 'good' or 'bad' is completely dependent on how we go with the flow and how we react in situations. This is dependent on our perspective on what changes that are happening. If we think we are prone to 'bad luck' or are a victim, that is how our life will continue. Who have you been in the major revolutions of your life? It's time to focus on the lessons you got out of those major moments and find gratitude in all things that happen. After today, a door closes. We're crossed by the World, the last card in the Major Arcana. We see a woman in the desert holding a crystal ball above her head. The full cycle of the moon is above her head. We experience gratitude and ultimate reverence for the cycle we have just competed. We have reached a higher echelon of being. From tonight moving forward, we experience new lessons, new growth, and new adventures. 

I AM ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE, AND I AM READY FOR THE NEXT COSMIC CYCLE. 

The Lone Wolf- 4/12/17

All I can say right now is, WOW. I can't believe we're seeing the Hermit so often. This reinstates those ideas that we have a lot to learn about ourselves. Today is a good day to delve into a new hobby, or if you didn't gain any new insight from yesterday, try meditating and contacting your guides. Virgo rules the Hermit, and that is where our moon sits right now, so looking back at the ideas from yesterday, take some further time to break the chains of a former construct of yourself. The man on the card has set himself apart from everyone else, what is he discovering? What do you find our about yourself when you're alone? These are all important tools. If you can stay inside today and reflect, you will have some deep revelations. In the crystal cave on the card is where we discover our shadow self, just like Jupiter retro has been helping us with when conjunct the full Moon. It's all coming together. Embrace your shadow nature.

I FEAR NO SHADOW, I AM THE LIGHT

Reinvention 4/11/17

It's time to relinquish old roles and work deep into our subconscious. The next steps on our path involve radiating love and a deep awakening within. The woman on the card is caught inside her head. We can get stuck in certain modes of performance, or thinking that we must hold up a certain role. A full moon moves in at midnight, through the earthy Virgo, and makes a quick stop by Jupiter retrograde to help us make those connections to our own underworld. Has this earthly plane decided you are a certain way, a certain type of person? How have you conformed to meet those standards? No one can decide what you need to do or say but yourself. You won't fit into a predesigned mold because you have a new fingerprint. That print on our planet is necessary for forward change and progression. You are a part of a great love. We are asked to grow out of our past roles now, and find truth in who we really are. Sleep with fresh rosemary under your pillow to help your great guides make contact. As the moon continues to move, it will eventually meet up with Mars. This will put us in an action-oriented state. So, for now, we learn, and soon, we take action.

I BREAK FREE OF OLD ROLES, AND I FIND MY TRUTH

FULL RADIANCE 4/10/17

Mercury has begun to takes it's trip back into space, and that can create a lot of confusion for us. We're so experienced in how we deal with this energetic, at this point, that we barely feel it's pull. Today we're feeling Saturn amping up the duel signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). Our hearts are expanding. The woman on the card exudes strength and clarity. This will be us after we revisit a possible past situation that we thought we slid away from. Many of us will find ourselves saying, " I was wrong," or, "I messed up." Admitting these truths instead of leading with your ego elevates your soul and raises your vibration. You begin a clear evolution, You will find yourself having good luck, and lot's of your wishes falling into your lap. It's important to remain humble, and remember those tougher times that actually got you where you are right now. It's a day to be thankful.

I FEEL JOY FROM MY HEART CENTRE

Lightspeed Energetic Shift 4/10-4/16

Our week starts with us at full radiance, absorbing all of Mercury's chaos, and with us knowing that chaos is the only constant. Sitting deep into Saturn's retrograde, we begin to notice a growth happening within. Where does Saturn fall on your birth chart? This house will tell you where you'll expect to grow this summer. As the moon waxes and shows it's full self in Virgo, we'll start to feel like voyagers discovering uncharted territory, our subconscious! There will be an intense revelation when we get to know our guides and the underside of our minds, and then...BOOM! The Sun enters the firey sign of Aries and everything changes! By the weekend our minds and hearts will be open, and we'll all feel something big on the horizon.

Falling into the void, but caught in between 4/8/17-4/9/17

Tripped up by the upcoming retrograde of Mercury, we sink into the darkness once again. Destruction seems to follow us, but it holds the keys to growth. These shadow figures are strengthening us against true darkness. It's normal to fear painful situations, but our character builds from how we deal with them. Into the fire we run. Engulfed in flames, we might panic, but we remember our control. Step out of the flames as quick as you can, nevermind what you might be loosing. This is a rebirth. Focus on your progression with patience and kindness.

I WORK THROUGH MY OWN OBSTACLES, ONE BY ONE

The Lone Wolf 4/7/17

Here is where we encounter the shadow self. This journey isn't for the faint-hearted. A purge, seeping with minerals and ooze creeps out of every crevice. We're remembering our darkest days and feeling deep guilt. Our guilt is a single wildflower amongst acres of untouched terrain. It's risen from the depths of our deepest root and we leave it behind, stored in a sacred memory. A growth has happened. We are learning who we need to be in this world. Amongst great change, we adapt to fill the space emptied by despair of others. Our inner journey knows no bounds and is never ending. As we persist forward we are rewarded in unimaginable ways.

I FEAR NO SHADOW. I AM THE LIGHT. 

Rare Love 4/6/17

Turmoil creates balance in a life well lived. Reaching out to others and exchanging intimacy fills our hearts today. These women are a collective energy. The energy they manifest is powerful. Today we cherish our tribe. The energy we carry has a power to end recurring lessons. Strengthen bonds, fill your heart with mood music, and surround yourself in golden rays. Today marks a dawning.

I NURTURE THE RARE LOVE OF MY TRIBE

Reflective Brooding 4/5/17

Saturn, the lord of suffering, pressure, limitation, and separation moves retrograde today. With eyes of gold, we place others' needs before our own, easier than before. Spinning on a wheel of recurring themes, a mirror lands in our right hand, a ribbon in our left. A reflection of November 2014 lies before us and pulls us in.New isolation forms a ring around us that no one will understand. There is not another soul in sight. We feel like we have lost our direction, lost our ability to get our needs across. We must process thoughts methodically and recuperate our communication before the weekend.

MY HEART LEADS MY VOICE INTO TRUTH

The Fertile Goddess meets the Vital Creatress 4/4/17

Sitting on the cliff of a Saturn in retrograde, we begin to feel the pushing shifts and changes from this drastic movement. Breath in maternal wisdom, the desire for the well being of all, and the archetypal mother. Exhale. You might find hardships, negativity, and cruelty rise up out of your body and into your life throughout the day. Let it all roll off. It's a purge from your body. There is no more room for these feelings. The light, love, and power takes over your breathing and you welcome in the Vital Creatress. Breath in openness, love, transparent emotions, and authenticity. Look out through the eyes of the needy, know compassion. You are becoming a stronger, more authentic version of yourself. Welcome to the light.

I AM FULL OF ENRICHED FEELINGS

Into the Void 4/3/17

A woman falls into the abyss of doubt and frustration. We're determined to walk a new path, to smash the patriarchy, but we haven't figured out the 'how' yet. With Mercury still sitting in firey Aries, we're given comfort that our doubt won't last much longer. Feeling the pull from Pisces, we swallow our emotions and drink our feelings. As long as we're not letting them get in our way, it's a good time for an emotional release. Finish up some last arrangements and let your life unfold around you. Saturn rules this card and is always in our back pocket with a tough but essential life lesson. Only two days until the planet retrogrades and has a whole new energetic in store for us.

I GROW TO FILL THE VOID

Week in learning 4/3/17-4/9/17

We move into the first full week of April stronger, stronger than we've been in April's of the past. A warrior spirit is brewing deep within our core. It's building in the Muladhara chakra and rising into our Vishuddha. You may find yourself speaking up against bullies and defending your honor with people you keep close. We have just a few days before Mercury and Saturn are retrograde, and although we're beginning to feel that pull, we still are feeling the fire of Mercury in Aries. You might find yourself making some last minute leaps this week. If you're wondering whether or not to make a seemingly crazy decision, now is the time to do it! We're without the construct of a longterm cycle at the moment, so any misguided mistake will be quickly repaired. April is going to be a month of challenges, lessons, and heartache. It's good to keep a low profile this month, and take care of yourself the best you can. The time is now to take long baths, get a massage, lay in a deprivation tank, and meditate. If none of that sounds relaxing to you, simply take care of yourself in the way you see it best. It's a good month to drink a seemingly vast quantity of water. Reach out to healers and loved ones if the going gets too rough. We'll make it through. Great change is brewing, and ultimately, it's for the greater good.

Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Here we have the Hermit once AGAIN! This card has been a repeating player over the past two months. Being from the Major Arcana, it's a sign that we are to follow our inner guidance. We are meant to be doing what makes us most happy, what makes us most fulfilled. If we are blindly going about our day consuming mass amounts of products for a false happiness, we are not listening to ourselves. Take some time today to make plans that better your future, and think about the future as a bigger picture. Since Mercury is still in bold fiery Aries, you should be able to tap into that energy and see some great progress!

MY LIGHT CAN NOT BE DIMMED BY THE MUNDANE, I WILL FIND A WAY TO SHINE

Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Today will feel dreamy, but will fly by. The Prince of the Chariot of Waters is a complex card. The symbol of his chariot falls right in line with Mercury's latest move into Aries. We'll be feeling some drive to get projects finished. Communication is bolstered by that fire, but be specific in your details. This card is ruled by Scorpio, and as most of you know, Scorpio is the most mysterious water sign of the zodiac. The Prince is driven by his libido and can be quick to draw conclusions. So give your partners every inch of information they need to know today. While the waters may look calm on the surface, you never know what is going on underneath!

I TREAT OTHERS AS I WANT TO BE TREATED

Monday, March 27, 2017

Today we renew, refine, and regroup. The New Moon energy sweeps through us, altering our present and our future. This New Moon isn't playing games. It's here to sever karmic bonds of your past, strengthen relationships of the present, and build a bridge to a future you thought only lived in your dreams. This is a week to keep your eye open for opportunities, and take every single opportunity you're given. Even if it feels small, you will look back on it one day feeling thankful you did it. Our 8 of Disks likes to show up during these times of renewal to remind us that we are beginning a journey, not remodeling a house. These goals that we're setting for ourselves might have material payoffs, but that isn't what we need to focus on right now. Right now is the time to hone in on our feelings. So, save your money for another day. Heck, build up a savings account today. Stay focused on your every day feels. How does your job make you feel? What makes you feel better or worse? Kick out what makes you feel worse. There is no room for soul crushing experiences where we are going!

I AM A DIVINE LIGHT, AND I CAN ACHIEVE THE UNTHINKABLE

NEW MOON WEEK!

This week will feel like a recovery from our last three heavy rotations. It will be ok to do a lot of crying because you're building a true interior and getting out what doesn't want to live within any longer. With our New Moon in Pisces occurring at the beginning of the week, you'll feel that emotional watery pull until the weekend. By the weekend our Mars and Moon in Aries will charter us off as light warriors of our future. Until then, it will be a good time to get caught up on your reading or meditate. A good meditation for the week will be to shut your eyes and picture yourself and your surroundings as you are right now, then, picture yourself and your surroundings as you want to be. What road forms between those two versions of self? If you don't see it right away, that's ok. You have the next 4 days to keep trying!

Friday,Sat,Sun, March 24-26, 2017

The Princess of Disks lines us up for a new start. Everything that's been coming up for you this week has been dealt with, for now. With the upcoming new moon, this figure rolls in with a sense of newness. Now is the time to be planting seeds. Instead of focusing on what you don't want in your life, stay focused on exactly what you want. When doing any rituals or altars, keep your mind focused on the future. We want to create new footsteps. No more following of old patterns. It's time to break free! The Priestess of Demeter holds a symbol for balance in her hand and stands in front of an altar pregnant with the future. This figure is full of wonder and excitement for what is to come. We're being given a chance to look at everything in front of us and tell the universe exactly what we want to get from it. Now is the time to think of what is best for the group, not just the individual. This earthy energetic stays with us all weekend. She is accompanied by the Eight of Cups.

This card comes up at a pivotal moment in time. This card signifies a moment when people in a relationship (any, family, work, love, etc), stop talking to one another because of some type of disagreement. Instead of acting out of care and compassion, they act out of ego and laziness. A beneficial relationship doesn't need to go sour. It's worth working it out if both parties are willing to put in the effort. You will both feel stronger inside and your relationship will develop more trust. Look for those meaningful moments over the next few days and really let them soak in. 

I AM THE NEW PARADIGM, AND I WALK WITH BALANCE AND KINDNESS IN MY HEART

Thursday, March 23,2017

Our minds clear, and we're immersed in sunshine. It feels like the sun only shines for us, which creates obstruction and discomfort. It's grey all around us and dark. Today is going to feel long and challenging for many. Our patience will need to be in first command, as deep breaths are going to have to come naturally to us. If you have any lavender essential oils, you will need them today! It couldn't hurt to carry some rose quartz as well. As challenging as this might sound, it will be easy for you to access your light today. Like I said, our minds are clear. Today will be a good day to have tough discussions. People will have answers. With all of this astrological force, we have the energy to complete lots of tasks. Even if it feels like you don't at first, you will feel much better if you're accomplished today. This card represents Jupiter in Gemini, so even the smallest effort will have big results. A caution from this card: careful to spend too much time on small details. The many small swords crossing the larger swords indicate that it will be easy to spend too much time on trivial ideas and not enough time on big picture plans. Stay tough out there lovers!

DOING FOR MYSELF WILL MAKE DOING FOR OTHERS EASIER

Wedneday, March 22, 2017

Today we're seeing the wearing off of old patterns. We're beginning to take in the ideas of real control over our lives, and we're able to understand exactly how much power we have over ourselves. Today might just be the day you become your own drill sergeant. I know I, personally, have been telling myself I'm going to start going buti yoga, and I really am going to start today! No more excuses people. If you can make time for a binge marathon, you can make time for your goals! The Lord of Strife is Geburah's influence on the world. It's a difficulty with health, mind, relationships, etc. that's why I do this blog! The cards come up to be like, listen, shit sucks right now, the weather is gloomy, and you're not going to feel motivated. Instead of just being like, yes cards, you're right. I'm here to be like, NOPE! That's what they want you to do! There is no slowing down on days like this because we've got too much to do! We will harness our power and we will accomplish! When I shuffled the deck to pull this card, we had a jumper. Let's look at that now.

The 2 of Disks jumped out. This card flew in to solidify everything I was just saying. We are our own masters, and it's time for us to stop making excuses. Do. Do everything! Do what you want, what you've always wanted to do. Be the person you admire! You can! You are! The Lord of Change represents the motion of conscious energy. It's our will to make conscious change. When you don't act on your dreams or instincts, a stagnancy will build up in your life. It's a quick way to feel unfulfilled and bored. Here we see Chokmah, the great spirit identity, unifying the number 2 with the great hermaphrodite and organic matter. There are times when I think that the ancient idea of yin energy and yang energy limit us to our possibilities, but I don't have a fully developed theory on this yet. Know that, the balance of those energetics is here for you, so even if you're feeling run down, close your eyes and ask for energy from the well of source. This is here for you to make those important changes, even when your physical body isn't up for it.

Tuesday, March 21, 2017

As our planets shift and align for great power, we gear up to figure out how to harness this power best for ourselves. What if you awoke one morning and money was obsolete? Mansions become homes for many, supermarkets become antiquated, but we still need people to do things like: fire fighting, helping people with power or heat in their homes, doctors, dentists, etc. There are still some things our world needs, but when you do these things, you aren't rewarded monetarily. What would you do with your life? What would your life look like if you didn't have to work for money? Sure, we'd have more time for a siesta and video games, but how would you spend a lot of your time? Would you work with stray animals? Would you work on climate change? How would you contribute? Now, what steps have to be taken to make this a reality? Obviously, the no money thing isn't the reality I mean. Do you not know how to pursue these dreams? Now is the time to ask someone. We can make our dreams a reality. If your dreams include being a rock star, well, maybe it needs to start simply by playing a ton of local shows, and then maybe you ask a venue to open up for a touring national act when they're here. Do you want to be an actor? Maybe you should start a youtube channel or a web series? I know that I would keep making the web series I'm on and ghost hunting with my friends because, aside from this tarot blog, that's my favorite thing to do. The Lord of Valour comes up a lot. We saw it on Saturday, March 11 and on Tuesday, Feb 21. This card is heavy in cosmic yin energy. It's a card that brings in opposition. This is an opposition from ourselves. How have we been our own worst enemy? What type of language to we use when we describe our lives? You are powerful, and every word you speak is hovering in the air around you. Gravity brings those words into existence into your life. If you do lots of wishing, you'll continue to wish. If you put yourself down, you'll manifest into that negative energy you speak about. It can feel cheesy to talk to yourself as a Goddess who IS a magnet for abundance and has everything she needs, but that's what you've got to do, otherwise this card is a warning for 7 weeks of opposition. Look back at Feb 21st. From then to now, what has happened? Decide now, what should happen in this next month.

I AM A RADIATING BEING FULL OF GREAT POWER. I HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO AND HAVE EVERYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY WANT. 

EQUINOX WEEK!

We welcome in Ostara as today begins a new era. We have some major astrological changes on the horizon, making today the start of a month long connection to the galactic center. This time is perfect for manifestation. It's also a perfect week for looking back at past manifestations and finding out what went wrong, or why did that take so long? We'll look closer at what cards make this the perfect week for those reflections in a minute. Let's talk about the 10 of Wands. This represents closure. Today the sun moved into Aries, ending the astrological cycle. When this transformation takes place we find ourselves experiencing abrupt shifts in our lives. People move, get into fights, they grow distant and take another path. As hard as this can feel, we must welcome these changes. This is opening a new chapter for you. This card represents fire in its most destructive form, so it's up to us to give it guidance. That could simply be brushing off those quick endings in our lives, or being at peace when someone picks an argument. Guidance comes in many forms! One big key with this card is the idea of self sacrifice. That can feel like the right thing to do in certain situations, but not on the Vernal Equinox! Altruism is a form of oppression. We must be allies and stand up for others, but it's, in no way, time to sacrifice one's own needs for others. That isn't to say we should be putting ourselves first. This card brings up the balance of our needs and the destruction of our ego. How do you operate in social situations? How much do you manipulate a situation to get what you need? You may not make people do what you want entirely, but how much control do you insert so that you get a little bit of what you want? How does that affect the people around you?

Tuesday will have a familiarity to it. We won't be feeling the newness of the Equinox until Wednesday, but even then we'll be asked to look at our behavior from the past. What karmic strings have you connected? If someone cast a spell that every behavior you've shown over the past year came back at you three times, what would your life be like? We must walk forward without casting an oppression on others and ourselves. We must live in real equality. That will mean you won't always get what you want, and sometimes you will have to do things because others want you to, but you will grow stronger. Aries is taking charge over the week and activating our lower centers of gravity and chakras. We are affected in our lower back and our hearts. There will be some emotional pain this week, but it's all in the grand scheme to set a new rotation. We are breaking patterns and cycles now. Systems are going to fall, and good will come forward, but not after a long week of looking ourselves hard in the face and finding out our contribution to the current. Like I said before, we are spending one month with Saturn stationed at the Galactic Center. This hasn't happened in thousands of years! Saturn is the Lord of Time/Lord of Karma, or as I refer to the planet, the bringer of lessons. We'll be seeing repercussions of choices all month, and we'll be doing a lot of learning from our actions. This is all in the grand scheme of creating a new paradigm shift and an entirely new path for ourselves. Do you ever feel like your life is going around in circles? Like, you make changes, but they don't result in anything really new? This is your month! Speak out loud how you want your life to be different then it has been in the past, in great detail, and grab onto all of the opportunities presented to you! One word of caution, be humble, don't put yourself entirely first. We don't need to be creating new karmic bonds that we will have to deal with later! 

THIS TIME IS MINE AND I HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE CURRENT OF MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS

Sat/Sun 11/12-2017

The weekend has lighter vibes then the rest of the week, but we must also remember there's a full moon, so the dynamic will still feel different. We have two cards that represent instability. We've been feeling this type of energy for over a week now. The air has been irrational. All week we've been trying to balance a warrior nature within us and our dreams, our fate. This weekend will question our free will and our choices over and over again. It's so easy to let the weekend be the time to break some rules, but it would be in your best interest to do what's best for yourself. Think in terms of best emotional health, physical health, and karmic health. This is a good weekend for accomplishments.

WE ARE EVERYTHING

Friday 3/10/17

This card is always a reminder of where we've been and our personal growth. It's been a frequent visiter over the past couple of months. It wants us to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. There is no time for more bad decision making. We must always think of others and our future as a whole. We can exist in a telescope anymore. We must be always looking around us and making sure what serves us serves our peers. When I laid out all of the cards together for the week, this card was interacting with the Princess of Wands from yesterday, and Luxury for the weekend. We must harness our inner warrior and our best selves at the same time. It's more important than ever to act out of highest self, at all times. It's time to stop choosing who gets our niceness and give it to everyone. Raise our confidence in one another! We're beginning to feel the pull from the full moon today. It's in earthy Virgo, so it's a perfect time for lists, rearranging, and organizing our minds and our spaces.

I OPERATE FROM MY HIGHEST SELF AND I LIVE MY BEST LIFE

Thursday 3/9/17

Today is where some of the bi-polar energy from Monday comes back to haunt us. There's a fire sparked beneath us, but on our shoulder we hear let go, let the universe be your guide. It's a battle between fate and free will! Today would NOT be the day to get a tarot reading! haha Make firm, thoughtful, clear decisions today. If today was to dictate your future, what would it say? Be extra kind and compassionate today, many will be dealing with heavy emotions and changes.

I MAKE CONSCIOUS CHOICES TO BE ON THIS PATH

Wednesday 3/8/17

Renewal! What a good day for learning a new perspective on a situation! People with many planets in Cancer will be feeling some deeper kind of ways today. It's a great time for redefining one's own definition of success. Because the water is heavier today, let your brain wander a little bit. See where it goes. Redefine your views. Start a domino effect for a new paradigm. Shed old thoughts. Let go of limitations holding you back from being exactly what you admire. It's a great day for taking a chance.

I AM EXACTLY WHO I WANT TO BE

Tuesday, March 7, 2017

I mentioned, in yesterday's post, that the Death card and The Devil card are symmetrical on the Tree of Life. They run together to evolve our consciousness and move us closer to bliss. The work we did separating ourselves from our past karmic bonds must continue. If you haven't looked into your Akashic records, now is the time. If you've never experience reiki, or haven't in a while, now is the time. Some of you may want to consider seeing your reiki master once a week for a while. I highly recommend Biancatown on Youtube. She is my healer, and will help with galactic shifts, light openings, and can help facilitate the releasing of those karmic bonds. Look toward your guides and your masters. The Death card is ruled by Scorpio, so today will write history a little bit. Think about what happened today, in detail. These are patterns you will see repeating. Mars is the planet ruling Scorpio, and right now Mars is helping us establish healthy boundaries. This is an important tool as we begin to find our travel buddies. The people around you the most right now are on the same path as you for the next few months. Reach out to them as much as you feel like you want to. After today it will be a good day to start a rebirth of an aspect of your life.

I KNOW WHERE I FIT INTO MY PATH AND HOW TO MOVE FORWARD FOR A LIT FUTURE 

Monday reflections 3/6/17

Although it's Tuesday, I am still posting for yesterday because it's important to watch the progression of the cards, and to be able to reflect back when the astrology/cards call for it.
The Devil might be one of the more complicated cards in the Thoth deck. It exists with basic principles, but the depth this card has could be a study in itself! This card is ruled by Capricorn, which is why the goat is represented, and Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. Let's look toward the goat. It's third eye is wide open, reflecting on the Hebrew letter Ayin which is attributed to this card. Ayin means Eye. Then, we have The Devil symmetrical with Death on the Tree of Life, leading from consciousness to Bliss. This is a concept we've talked about briefly whenever a pentagram comes up. The idea of consciousness expansion, and widening that scope and raising up our communities. This card is about leading a group away from a current. It's an energetic we'll be seeing a lot this month. This idea will bleed into Tuesday because it's a large concept to organize. What is your roll in this new direction? What part do you play, and where do your goals and dreams come into the equation? Since Capricorn is an Earth sign, it might be really helpful to write down some of the major themes you want to change globally, major themes that need changing nationally, within your state, within your city, within your neighborhood, and within your house. Then write down your hopes and dreams on a separate piece of paper. Go back and forth between reading each page. Start to mesh ideas. Give it a good brainstorm. You might be surprised. For those of you who know where you fit in certain circumstances, it's time for action! The energy will be slow moving, but remain open to the change!

I AM BRIGHT, LOVING, AND A GUIDE FOR CHANGE

First official week of March 2017

We've entered a long recuperation/liberation period. We've finally shed the eclipse energy, and a lot of the heated emotions will be simmering down. Venus retrograde in Aries will be a big subject throughout the month and into April. We'll be making a lot of adjustments this month. We'll be shedding ideas and aspects of our past that aren't in line with our future goals, liberation! We are becoming what we admire, and our planet is better for it! Some of us will feel exhausted during/after this week. While we'll be feeling a push and pull effect in the beginning, the end of the week has us overwhelmed. If you look closely, notice the amount of Major Arcana cards we have occurring! We are going to be soul driven. That's exactly where a lot of the conflict will come into play for us, all month long. How do we balance all of the aspects in our lives that are calling to us?  We'll get deeper into all week! Overall, it will be a great week to find oneself, rearrange goals, altars, your bedroom, or to take walks by yourself.

Friday 3/3/17

As this intense week continues forward, we begin to reflect on our moments of darkness. Were they a surprise, or have you known they were coming for some time? How did you react to those events? Each chakra holds a different energetic source for us. If a lot of your pain was emotional, then it's time to focus on your Svadisthana. This chakra will hold the key of knowledge on how to move past this pain and trauma. You can look up the relevant information to you, explore the chakras. Today is the day we get our power back. Today is the beginning of our rise. We still have separation and detachment strings to cut loose, but today engages us and excited the parts of our lives that we are best at. What do you do best? Focus on it. This card sits in the balanced framework of the tree of life. It is symmetrical in both horizontal and vertical axis. This gives it a wide interpretation and an interpretation beyond human comprehension. A lot of energetics this card encompasses lives in the Telluric realm. We can harness the dewy silver mountaintops and golden sunshine by breathing deeply into ourselves. This card encourages us to like what we see in the mirror. It wants us to be engaging our passions and using our tools to grow our light and join as a team. We will always be stronger together.

I CAN MOVE PAST MY PAIN TO BE A STRONGER HUMAN

Thursday 3/2/17

As we continue to persevere throughout the week, we're thrown another curveball. Someone in our lives is letting us down, and we're surprised that this person would do this to us. Mars has a heavy hand on this card, and since we've been seeing a lot of action involving the planet, you may have already had this revelation. If you've gone through your grieving process regarding this let down, there's good news! You can move the f on. You are working on your ascension, and there is no room for people who are willing to hold you back. These cups may be empty now, but an empty cup is ready to be filled. There's no residue, they don't need to be cleaned, just fill up all those cups! The stronger you are, the more you're able to give to others and rise. We're building our community of light workers. We're all at different stages, but we're here to care for the planet, animals, and humanity. So, for some of you, today might be a hard day, but know that it isn't for everyone. Reach out to someone who lifts you up. We're all in this together.

I HAVE A COMMUNITY OF LOVE THAT HEARS ME EVERY DAY

Wednesday, 3/1/17

Everything proceeds from order to disorder. Melancholy. Binah's dark deep see of the "abysmal womb." She calls out, for the future is matriarchy, but breaking our current brings chaos and disruption. The heart feels like it slips further into the abyss each day. Look toward the moon. The moon shines in the darkness and casts shadows on hidden truths. The moon flows with the tides and our sexuality. Look toward the moon and breath it in, for it is the answer. It calls out to us, telling us to engage in our healing practices. Focus on healing of the heart today. Fill each other's buckets, and try not to take. This will be a sensitive day for many. It's a great day for activism or doing something that makes you feel strong. In numerology, the day adds up to 3, just like the card we have here. Three's call on our ascended masters and are powerful days to access your divine spark! Communicate with your favorite people, even if it's been a long time. Tell them you're thinking of them! Build up your community as the patriarchy crashes down. Meditate with the lay lines, draw a bunch of pyramids, and fill it all with your light! If you want to focus on the healing aspect of the day, check out this cool new blog I found about incorporating healing herbs into your meal plans. It's called thegreatkosmickitchen.com If you're feeling like you don't know where to start, today would be a great day for a tarot reading. This week, intuitives will be able to communicate in a way that really will click with you. Seek out some guidance if you feel like you could use some!

MY LIGHT CAN SHINE THROUGH ANY DARKNESS BECAUSE I AM UNSTOPPABLE 

Tuesday, Feb 28, 2017

This is always a card that scares my readers and for good reason. This card has 9 swords dripping with blood about to penetrate our stomachs! Lol, it's all good. The direction of this card is very important. This is self inflicted pain. How do you look at yourself? Do you admire certain people? What do you admire about them? That can be you. Yes, it can. Write down what you would want to change about yourself. What do you see? Be the change! Harness Jupiter and grow! Treat yourself the you want to be treated. How do we do this for ourselves without living through our ego? It's all in the way you think. The suite of swords rules our intelligence, so today should be a growing period for how you think of yourself. If you are constantly doing for yourself at the expense of others, or put yourself in a category that is above others, then it's time to stop. We're not nice to ourselves because we're better than anyone else. We're nice to ourselves because that's how we want to treat everyone else. This is where the thought process of equality comes in. If you see people treating anyone badly, say something. All of the people that are treated like they are lesser than need to rise. We should be treating everyone as we want to be treated by others. That's why this card is here. It hasn't come up to hurt us. It's here to give us some hard truths and really examine our interactions. At the end of the day, think about how you handled coexisting. Make improvements. Let's grow some patience and understanding.

I DESERVE TO BE TREATED THE WAY I TREAT OTHERS

Monday 2/27/17

We start the week off on Earth. We're very in tune to our root chakra today, and there's a high chance our ego is calling all the shots. You can see the bull pulling on the Prince's chariot. That could be us today. We may only even realize it once the day is over, but if we had had more patience today, it could have been an easier day. This card is about keeping everything for ourself, and the astrology is kicking into gear a can-do kind of attitude, so that could result in us taking on more than we can handle. It's ok to ask for help, in fact, I encourage you to ask others for help. The important part of this trying week ahead is, to remain humble. We must learn from our missteps. If you were the bull today, what did you learn from that? If you were on the receiving end of a hardheaded conversation today, how could you have changed the outcome? What can you take out of today that will help ensure others' experiences with you enhance their lives? When you make life better for your peers, your life gets better. We're still riding that bull-driven chariot, so we're rocketing into tomorrow. Get a good night sleep tonight!

MY EXPERIENCES MAKE ME A BETTER HUMAN

Week of 2/27- 3/4/17

The week after a big eclipse will always be intense. As you can see, this one will be no different. This week is all about separation from ego, familial karmic ties, and pain. Most of the week, we will focus on the root chakra, solar plexus, sacral chakra, and our thought patterns. The hardest part about this week will be looking at our darkness in depth, accepting it, learning from our actions, and emerging brighter. It's too easy to place blame on others or to point your anger at another, but we can't do that anymore. If we are to live out our purpose and elevate our soul energy, then we have to accept and grow. Living through anger and hate isn't acceptable. We'll be dealing with Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, and the Sun all week. The combination of these planets brings along separation and detachment. If we talk about the Piscean eclipse specifically, the tone is very similar. It's job is to release us completely from the past, whether your past is full of memories you do or don't want to forget, it's time to move on and look into the future. Toward the end of the week Jupiter opposite Uranus/Mars will be a big awakening. The end of this week/beginning of next will have a focus on healing through medicine. Not western medicine, but natural medicines, like herbs and exercise. So, if you don't exercise or take a daily vitamin, now would be the time to work something like that into your life. To experience all of this change we're being handed, you have to want to. Your life won't just up and change completely for you, unless that's what you want to happen. Since we're still feeling the new moon's energy, write down exactly how you would like all of this energy to effect you. Think specifically in ways I touched on, those will be the most effortless ways to make change in your life this week.

THROUGH A HUMBLE SELF, I WILL BE BRIGHTER

Thursday 2/23/17

Yesterday Mercury made the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius, from earth to air. (Remember when I said I am using a combination of traditional Vedic astrology and western?) This is a big change, and you're probably starting to notice it more today then yesterday. Aquarius rushes in a charge of independence. If you've been having a hard time getting your point across, or making a big picture plan, you might finally gain some insight and clarity. The Ace of Swords brings a new path, and when it teams up with communication oriented Mercury, we're set up for big changes. We've been following our gut and passions, and now we can actually get all of those details set in stone. While Mercury was in Capricorn, it was ruled by Saturn. If you have the same experience with Saturn, it likes to teach me lots of hard lessons. I always look forward to these changes, haha. Beyond our forward thinking astrology that's in the air now, we have a larger connectedness to the outer metatron's cube. As we get closer and closer to the new moon Sunday, we feel more introspective and at ease with ourselves. With the New Moon falling into Aquarius as well, it will be important to really begin to let go of what no longer serves you. Walk into the new lunar cycle fresh and renewed. As we begin to get deeper into severing ties of our past and past lives, we get closer to bliss. So, in short, make important plans and stick to them!

Last week we challenged ourselves to step out of our comfort zone. I hope it helped some walk in others' shoes and gain empathy. Live out your dreams through compassion and love always, and know that you are exactly who you are, and you're perfect. Your short comings make you exactly who you are, and without them you would be a very different person. Absorb those ideas for others, and keep people close to your heart.

I WILL TAKE ALL OF THE STEPS TOWARD MY HIGHER TRUE SELF.
