Fog (veiled), New Moon (promise) & Wunjo "JOY" (rune): 

Move out of the way, the new relationship you have been asking for is about to arrive. Have you been secretly wishing for someone to come along--someone who understands the deepest part of you, who will have your back, someone funny, kind and who will treat you the way you should be treated? Apparently they're about to arrive. From a dark, painful past relationship where lies and maybe even abuse was in the forefront, comes a partnership with no drama, no fear. It's time to heal, to open ourselves up and be cherished. And if love isn't what you want, maybe it's a new friendship, or self love. The truth is, we must love ourselves first NO MATTER WHAT. To match the vibration energy of that knight of shinning armor (or maiden) we must be in love with ourselves. Say: "I am beautiful, flaws and all. I love my flaws. I see my greatness. I am funny. I am wise. I am the perfect package. I love me. All of me. Nothing is wrong with me. I am perfect the way I am. I deserve love." And be happy about it. Dance. Laugh. Take care of yourself. And so it shall be.

Note: see the yellow in both cards? It's the light, the joy, the new love, cutting through all the pain of your past. Clouds may hang around for a short while, but they do go away eventually. It also tells me that the manifestations you made during this recent new moon are on their way.

Peace.

If You Believe: 

There is a house or property you've been trying to acquire without much success. It means a lot to you spiritually and you have been disappointed in the past efforts. While you are fairly content living in the home you currently own this other place holds a sacredness close to your heart, so much that you can barely stop thinking about it, but you are afraid time is running out and someone else will get it instead. You must focus, stay positive, and manifest yourself into the situation. Stop being negative. Drive by the house, ask about the house, see yourself living there, see yourself happy there, tell yourself you already own the house, put aside part of your petty cash for a future down payment. Do anything you can to make it happen. Say: I can and I will. The magic is in your hands. Work with the divine to provide this fantastic opportunity and don't say no to you or anyone else. Make it happen.

Peace.

Dance (celebration), Rainbow (blessings), Music (harmony): 

Appreciate all that you have. Take a moment to sit down and really go over the blessings in your life. If you are at a low point and can't see beyond your current troubles, it really does help to remember those who are less fortunate, because believe it or not, there are people out there in worse situations. You may be going through some truly horrible times, but things change, things get better. Life is up and down and will get better again. You are asked to listen to music and dance the same way as when you were younger--maybe in your teens. It may seem silly, but why not at least try?Think about it, if things haven't been going well, does sitting around being miserable help or hurt the situation? I had the image of a caterpillar and heard 'inch by inch,' so think about how even the smallest action, one by one, each day, will help improve things. I'm feel that you do have many blessings but right now you are stuck in an overwhelming energy of lack and sadness, even boredom and disbelief that anything good can happen in the future. But that's just the ego tricking you. Things will improve, and will do so much faster when you open yourself to happiness and light. Again, take in the sunrise and sunset--there's something in it that is healing. Listen to music in your car, on your headphones,etc. Listen to the sound of the birds singing--there's something about that. Maybe it's the angels singing : ) you never know. Take care.

Nine of Fire—

About to give up? Afraid you don't have what it takes to complete your heart's desire? Well, think again. You have come too far and worked too hard to give up, in fact, maybe you're closer than you think to finding success. All the hard work you've done would only benefit someone else if you stopped at this point, and why allow that to happen when you clearly deserve to be rewarded for all that effort? Maybe you feel the world has placed too many demands on your shoulders, but it was only because you were strong enough. Take it as a course in courage. The only one who didn't believe, was you, and now it's time to take the final exam: go for the gold--literally. Picture a gold medal in your mind with your name on it. All you have to do is run one more race and it's yours forever. I feel that it's time to look into developing your solar plexus chakra--located right above your belly button. To do so take a few deep breaths and imagine a bright yellow sun radiating into your body. Let it heal all the self-doubt, negative talk, and all the harmful words from other people that have belittled you. We all have a divine purpose in life, don't let anyone talk you down or steer you off your path. In reality, though jealous, most people do actually want to see us succeed because it means they'll be able to as well. Be that bright shining light to everyone. Say, I can. I am. I have great ability. I was born to do this. I love doing this. I am ready for success. And so it shall be. Amen. Shine.

Peace.

Meditation Brings Answers (from the Doreen Virtue Angel Answers oracle cards)

If you have been experiencing poor health and/or low energy, you are asked to take a break, take more naps, go to bed earlier, and if you can, to start a routine of meditation. Even five minutes a day would be beneficial. A very stressful period has just come to a head and you need to regenerate yourself before the Christmas season comes along. Find a peaceful spot in your home that would be best for a quiet activity, close your eyes, and listen to the sound of your breath. Let each breath rejuvenate and cleanse away all the worrying thoughts and fears you've been holding onto. Wear the color purple, gold, royal blue, use lavender oil, seek a more peaceful route in all that you do, wear, eat, think, etc. There is great energy and light inside and around you, and all you have to do is sit still and allow it to come in. If there is some truth, or some answer you have been asking of the Universe, this is how it will be revealed. It would be good to 'unplug' once in a while, and even a short walk in nature would do a world of good. Stay away from too much caffeine and sugar. Again, there is a great deal of high energy in you that is blocked and needs to match up with the divinity from your guides and angels. Take in the sunset and the sunrise--these are special times where you will feel most how much you are guided and loved from not only our angels but loved one who have passed on. Peace.

Happy Halloween!

King of Swords: Being on guard. Taking control of your thoughts--not letting anyone pull the wool over your eyes. Ready to fight for what you believe in- even if it means asking for legal help. If this is another person in your life, it's someone with a biting wit. Maybe they don't realize how much they can hurt you, but words truly do cut deep and cause scars. Worst of all? They always have to be right. "I told you so" is one the worst faults of these people and it's hard to tell them how you feel in fear of retribution. It's their way or no way. You'll just have to ease off and take the peaceful route, because this person is not backing off. If they try to provoke you, just say you're busy and have to attend to errands, and leave. It's not your job to stand around and be verbally abused by anyone. This card is also about law--lawyers, people in high authority, police officers, so watch your speed today. The lighter side of this is that the King of Swords can be quite funny and well read--so if you enjoy that, go ahead and engage but keep out of personal attacks. Maybe you'll end up talking about books and politics--just beware and keep it light. Peace.

Compromise.

 How are you balancing your relationships, your money, time, energy? Is there someone in your life who takes and never gives back? Sometimes we give just to keep the peace and then become unbalanced in our own lives because of it. You may be sacrificing too much for those who are unappreciative and the stress is most likely affecting your health. There are projects you'd like to work on but someone else always comes first. Sadly, there are those who do this on purpose because they don't want you to succeed. They purposefully create obstacles and disturbances just to keep you from working on that which would bring you happiness and success. Don't let them! It's okay to say no, and it's okay to put yourself first. Especially if it's affecting your health and/or finances. And happiness. The first thing is prioritize what you must get done every day, and if someone continually cuts in, say, NO, I have to get this done. I can help you before or after, but I HAVE to get this done. If they can't respect that, then you don't have to answer the phone. Create an invisible wall around you of protection and say, this person cannot cross until I've taken care of myself. Give, and take. Keep it balanced. Do not give more than you receive from repeat offenders. Keep your projects at a high priority. See them as errands to run for yourself. Pretend that you are a friend who needs help. Are you a high priority? Do you matter? Of course you do. All can be accomplished, and life can be in perfect balance when we use loving assertiveness. Being used all the time isn't healthy for us OR them. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day.

2 of Swords, Page of Pentacles (in reverse), Six of Wands in reverse), Judgement, 2 of Wands:

Learning to trust your own judgement. Having limited information in an intense time of change and turning toward your internal resources to make decisions. Moving forward blindly. Feeling a great call to change something in your life and being alone in that decision-making. Looking into the future, waiting for something to happen. Gut feelings that spur you into action. Messages: You'll have to trust your own intuition at this time. Think upon the past and decide if what you went through is acceptable. Do you think you deserve more of the same? It's likely you already know what the answer is but fear is holding you back. Have more confidence about your abilities. Create positive change by taking small steps toward your goal. Don't hide from the truth.

Five of Wands: 

Chaos in the world, in your thoughts. Chaos around you and not knowing what to do about it. Confusion. Toxic energy. Being at odds with yourself and any decisions you have to make. Feeling unsure. You need confirmation of some sort on the intuitions you've been having, but it just isn't coming yet. You feel as if you are in the dark with mosquitoes flying around your head. It's time to gather your thoughts, step back, let all the opinions and behaviors of others fall away. Breathe and get clarity. Ask the universe to send you signs and answers to your questions. You may find songs on the radio, TV shows, headlines, things people say, feathers on your path, repeated numbers, coins . . . that resonate with you. Don't fall into a pattern of old thinking, instead you need to open up and allow the universe to teach and guide you. Instead of allowing the chaos to draw you into more chaos, be the stronger person and show how peace and silence can bring about positive change. Move away from the battle, instead of into it. This isn't your battle, It doesn't have to be a battle at all. Seek peace, seek answers. You are wise and already know the truth but need to trust it and most of all believe in yourself. Trust that the calm, secure feeling you have in your gut is the answer, and when you feel tight and afraid and angry, that's NOT the answer. If there are people and situations around you that cause you to feel the 'bad' stuff, then that's your answer. Step away from that. Keep moving toward YOUR answer. YOUR truth.

Wishing you a Happy Monday.

Ace of Cups

How full is your cup? What's in your cup? Is it bitter, or sweet? Is it a health drink, or something sugary and energy depleting? Does it fulfill you . . . is it half-full or half-empty? The truth is, you've been given this 'cup' today, and it's up to you to provide the contents. It's an opportunity for growth and healing, for abundance, for love . . . one-to-one love as well as love of all people and all situations. We each have a cup, and we each add or take away. Some are selfish and only take, take, take. Soon they will look and see their cup is empty (karma reversed things). Believe me, your cup will always be filled if you give a little to all using the best of intentions. It replenishes constantly, and even more when you give lovingly to yourself. For the more you nourish yourself, the more you have to offer. This Ace of Cups is about love, self love, divine love, and the abundance of knowing you are perfect and lovable in every way. YOU are the cup.

I wish you a happy Friday.

The Star

Divine protection, divine love and guidance. You are being looked upon by the angels and kept in a bubble of positive energy. If you've had bad luck, bad health, money issues, self-doubt, give them up to your angels and know that they will provide you with the healing that you need. You are powerfully connected right now and can manifest great things, but it does mean having faith and stopping negative thought patterns. This is a good day to work on creative projects as there's great potential for success. Let your worries ease up and focus everything you have on your work. This is a card of wishes coming true, happiness, love, good health, prosperity. It's a gift from the Universe. Remember to tell the angels 'thank you' and show them your gratitude by extending kindness to others. You are a powerful being, loved by many, and the Universe is so proud of you. Truly, your light is shining. 

Have a wonderful day.

Strength: 

This card flew out of the deck as I was shuffling. You have the strength to overcome any obstacle. You have the strength to face any decision. You have the strength to stand in your own personal truth. No one and nothing can stop you because you have learned the hard lessons and stayed true to yourself and FOUGHT for yourself. Do not go backwards into doubt, no matter what story someone else feeds you. You know what you know now, so don't let doubt kick in. You hold the beast in your hands--the beast of fear, abuse, the future, the unknown, self-criticism, self-hatred, others' opinions, judgements, and you WILL overcome. Much like the Devil card, the Strength card reminds us that we can be chained, or set free. We can control the beast, or let it control us. But there IS A BEAST in your life, and it's up to you to decide what to do with it. 

I think a lot of us are going through huge transformations right now. We are being faced with the challenge to stay or to go, and part of us is still clinging to old situations out of fear and doubt. But we must ask ourselves this: has that old situation been good for us? Did we give it a chance to change and it didn't? Do we think it will change, and are we really willing to compromise ourselves once again to change with it? If you could have your life be a certain way right now, what would you choose? The old way, or a newer, better way that serves your highest good? Why you we think a life of less (less love, less truth, less hope, less money, less success, less happiness . . .) is okay? We must grab hold of the beast of the 'less' and tell it who's boss. You have the power. You are strong. You were born to be strong. 

This is a time of great change and you can change with it--in a powerful beautiful way that serves you to the very core. Do not give yourself to others just so they can use and hurt you over and over again. It's like . . . living with your head in the jaws of the lion and saying you're fine. You're not fine. You're scared, you're tired. Be the lion tamer. Grab those jaws. Surge forward with strength and tenacity. Roar, claw at the chains, rip apart your fears. Love you with all the fierceness of the universe. 

Peace.

The Chariot: 

You are slowly gaining in power and strength and events in your life will speed up to where you must be quick on your feet to deal with them. All eyes are on you as the leader. If there has been anyone in your path undermining your authority, let them know it has to stop. You must believe in your ability to handle all things now. You are the leader of your life. You know what's best for you and which direction to go in.

Perhaps you are thinking of taking a trip today. If so, make sure to check that your car is in proper condition and that the route is free of construction and detours. Make sure the engine doesn't get overheated, but also check into weather conditions so that you don't get stuck in a deluge of rain. Plan things accordingly.

The overall message is to be clear on what you want, stand in your power, and keep moving ahead. You are strong and can move forward now with confidence. 

Have a great Friday.

Message of the day for June 30, 2016

Four of Wands: 

Today is a great day to let go of past hurts and open yourself up to joy. Consider it an exercise, a challenge to see past all negativity and be stress-free no matter what. The act of doing so will bring in even more joy and will free you from the heaviness of life in general--which has probably been leading to lack of sleep and health issues. Envision all your problems as a balloon, then imagine yourself letting go so the balloon floats away (destination undetermined). With it goes all which holds you down, like a heavy weight on your shoulders lifting off. You are free now to dance and make jokes, to enjoy all that you once enjoyed before life became so difficult. The slate is clean. The truth is, although people hurt us, and we do have responsibilities to tend to, we have the power and the freedom to feel joy AT ALL TIMES. Self-care is another responsibility we must tend to, and you're the only one who knows how or who cares enough to do it. Do you care about yourself enough to be stress-free for at least one day? We all need a break from reality from time to time. 

This card also typically signifies joy in a home environment--a happy move, a positive change. So perhaps you are preparing to switch locations, or redecorate where you are now. Any positive change brings more of the same, even if it's cleaning out a spare room, or adding flowers to a side table. It brings light and joy to any space. 

This can also signify being in a wedding, being invited to a wedding. Parties, celebrations, family.

Overall, this card is about positive movement forward and not letting the old drag you down anymore. 

Many blessings.

Ace of Pentacles

The seed of opportunity is in your hands and it's up to you to nurture it into something big. There are readers who feel the Ace of Pentacles signals a coming gift of cash, a will, a windfall of money, but from my own personal experience it's more like a door opening into a better future. You have an idea, a small gift, that can be transformed into something that will pay off eventually. It's really up to you. Grab onto that brilliant idea, invest that handful of cash you found in an old purse, build on that invention, and GO. Looking at the card some more, I have the urge to mention that there are lizards around the pentacle. This tells me you should be like a 'chameleon' with your idea (or your cash) and not confide any clever ideas at this time. Don't let on that you have this advantage, because there are those who will steal and use it for themselves. Transform, conceal, change your colors around those who are sneaky. Live with a lizard? You're going to have to think like them and play a similar game. It's not always wise to boast around listening ears. Be wise and be ingenious.

Have a great Tuesday!

Five of Pentacles: Unfortunately we're continuing on a negative pattern concerning relationships, work, life in general. The meaning of this card is that the subject is depressed by their current condition. They are so depressed in fact that they are slumped over and ready to give up. What they can't see, or refuse to see, is that there is a miraculous energy right above them. Though it may seem dark there is hope and others who are willing to help out. Reach out to your local safehome, salvation army, talk to your doctor and ask for free counseling. Read. Have a spa day. Exercise, eat more fruits--love yourself! Do anything you can to make life better. Sometimes it seems as if no one cares, but there are many out there who do. Remain positive, you just never know when things will get better. Have hope. Simple hope. One good thought, good action, good word leads to the next. Negative thinking only breeds more of the same. If the Universe wanted you to give up, it would have made it happen already. Quite the opposite, you are meant to rise up and succeed. You are meant for great things. Sometimes on the sunniest day a band of clouds will form and block out the sun, but eventually those clouds go away. Have faith that even when it's dark, the sun is out there somewhere. The light is in you, the light is everywhere. You are light, you are hope. Good days are coming. 

Peace

The Devil: You (or someone around you) have beenn trapped in a toxic addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, overeating, overspending, or negative thought patterns, etc. and it's time to free yourself. Do not let yours or another person's addictions hold you in a cage. If it is another person, they need to work on themselves, and you need to love yourself and be happy. It is not your fault or job to fix them. You CANNOT fix an addict. It isn't possible. You must care for yourself. Step away. Free yourself from codependency. See that there is a light ahead, a better future, people who do and truly will love you in a healthy way. DO not let someone else's problems become your problems, whether it be family, marriage, work, friendships. NO ONE should expect you to sacrifice your happiness so they can sit around and get high, spend all the money, lie, cheat, drink, abuse you . . . Stop! Love yourself first and if you have to break away from entire groups of people--do it! You count; you matter. You've give enough of yourself now and deserve love. If this is your addiction, the same holds true. Step away and seek help. Do not let fear keep you from making positive steps. Look online. Start meditating. Ask God and the angels for help. You count and can be a healthy human being in this world without an addiction. It is possible.

I wish you much love and many blessings.

Eight of Cups: The intensity of the full moon has brought out a desire in you to move on from an emotional situation. The gravitational pull has kicked up the waves, so to speak, and it's as if you're on a tiny dingy being tossed around, but you will reach that far distant shore. In your hands is one cup—seven more are to be left behind. They are the cups of your past; of deep emotion, happiness, love, fear, distrust, sadness, grief. They all served their purpose at one time, but you can only hold that one cup and must now fill it with new experiences and new emotions—healthier, more substantial emotions. The moon pulls and draws out your insecurities, but it also pulls you on. You want to pick up all those cups again because you can't stand to leave them behind. But you have to. No one walks around carrying eight cups. In life, it's always wise to learn simplicity. Let them go and keep that one beautiful cup, a cup of hope and renewal. It will be filled with new love, new opportunities, new joy, new health, new money. You are free to go.

Peace.

Why good people do bad things

photo credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30425209@N08/27628130926">一个人的午后</a> via <a href="http://photopin.com">photopin</a> <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/">(license)</a>

I was asking the Universe a lot of questions last week about why some people get hurt and others do the hurting, and this is the response that came to me. Mind you, I don't hear Spirit or get big visions, I receive guided intuition and feel in my heart if it's right nor not. That's how I channel. It's still a learning process, but over this last year I have learned to listen and trust what comes through. What I was told was that the reason why some people hurt others, especially those they seemingly love and care about, is because they are not listening to their inner guidance, Spirit, etc. and are currently at a place where they are ego driven—which means they live off of fears, anger, base needs, wants, selfishness. It doesn't mean they're bad, it means they are in an infant stage of spiritual development and can't, and don't want to, change just yet. They could read the Bible all day, every day, but because they cling to the ego they're not going to feel how truly devastating some of their behavior is. When they hurt another person, it's a sickness. They are stuck in a dark place and can't feel because they are literally unwell in so many ways, but can't see it because they think it's normal.

Let's say you have a mother who won't allow her daughter to grow up. She won't buy her nice clothes, won't let her get her hair done, ears pierced, won't let her wear makeup or go out on any dates, and the daughter is old enough to do all of these things. The mother is being selfish, and to be honest, mean. She's stopping the girl's growth and free will because of what SHE wants, not what the daughter wants. If she steps back and directs things with a more heart-centered viewpoint, really listens to her daughter, she'll trust that all will be well by letting the girl make her own choices---something we all must do as we grow up and become adults. She's stuck in a place of fear because maybe when she was young she acted wild and got in trouble, or maybe she was never allowed to do anything and resents the fact. But still we ask, why. Why can't the mother know that she's being unreasonable? Why can't some people feel this inside of themselves? The answer is, they're not ready. Consider yourself lucky to be one of those with compassion and sensitivity. Send out light and love to those who aren't. Eventually they will develop these skills (we all do) through loss or change. But for now, they are incompetent and have no skills to understand.

Using another example, let's say you have a husband who won't let his wife go, even if she's told him that it's over and that she wants a divorce. He spies, manipulates, uses control tactics to keep her around--to the point where she could never love him again because he's violated her personal space so much and cut off her off from the world that she's now a victim. Even when she tells him how she feels, he's angry and says it's all her fault because she can't love him the way he wants. Why would he do that, knowing deep inside that it's driving her away, as opposed to making her want to come closer? The reason is he's afraid--so afraid that it's blinded him from feeling her inner turmoil and loss. He's afraid if he does try to understand her viewpoint, he'll lose a battle that he's set himself up to win--come hell or high water. And he must not lose. He'll lie, steal, spy, do anything to win. The truth is he won't win because you can't make someone love you. He has to find self-love, because when you learn how to love yourself, you can love and extend compassion to anyone and anything. Maybe when he was a child his mother left him for work. Maybe she HAD to work to pay the bills, but he took it as a personal attack. He's never gotten over that feeling of being abandoned, and now his wife has become his mother--he's angry and won't ever let it happen again. Once more, he has to learn to love himself. He has to understand that marriage and divorce can sometimes be part of the life cycle. It doesn't have to be personal, it just is. He can be whole and find happiness, but first he must let go of the toxic cycle, and move on so a healthier one can come to be. His wife will be healed, and he will be healed. They both win.

In any situation, the problem is we are all at different stages of spiritual/personal development. Some of us are beginners, some of us are experts. Send love out to all, and develop love inside of yourself, as a gift to yourself. That's where it starts. We are all conveyors of Divine Love. It starts with us, leaves us, heals us, heals each other, and comes back again. This doesn't mean you allow others to hurt you--that's actually the point: if you love yourself you won't allow others to hurt you, and you won't do the hurting.

I hope this helps. I'll try to write more as I'm inspired to do so. Thanks for reading and many blessings to you!

Peace.
