Love is in the Air, a Self Love Candle Ritual, and How to Make the Goddess Laugh!

Happy Merry, Magickal, Miraculous, Magnetic, Manifesting, Moony Monday!

How was your New Moon and Chinese New Year? How does it feel to be in the year of The Wood Dragon (this is a pretty frigging amazing year if you are willing to embrace it.)

As you know, I love celebrations so of course we had a lovely Chinese New Year gathering filled with awesome food, red envelopes and games! It was delicious.

So do you ever think “Oh fuck!”, and realise you have made the Goddess laugh her soxs off, but if you breathe into that space it’s so much better than you had planned?

I had a huge one of those on this glorious Aquarius New Moon (and don’t get me wrong I love it when I make the Goddess laugh, well actually not when it is happening, but hindsight yes!)

So as you know Lisa Wolfe and I are doing an amazing collaboration that we were going to call The Numinous Circle, yes? The doors would open for applications and conversations on Chinese New Year and all the rest of it.

Well, then there was the Goddess laughing! Yup. I mean seriously frigging laughing!!!

She came roaring in and changed the name, the time frame, the structure and asked us both if we would like to pour even more into it (appreciating we had already), but wowzer – we have.

The container of The Numinous Collective is so rich, so full and I’m still reeling from it all. Thus, if you want to be on the email list for when the doors and applications open please do!

This week a huge part of the culture will celebrate Valentine’s Day (a deliciously made up Hallmark celebration), where apparently for one day a year we celebrate romantic love (you really don’t want to hear my thoughts on this at all lol).

I don’t know about where you live, but here all the stores (even the grocery ones) are filled to the brim with chocolates, roses, orchids and smelly cheeses! Apparently, if you are in love these are the food groups you should eat and the objects that you should surround yourself with! Lol.

But what if your Love Language isn’t about gifts and objects? What if your Love Language is about acts of service, time spent together, having a fabulous hug or snuggle? How does a box of choccies and a bunch of commercial roses fill those needs?

I will be honest, for myself I much prefer, instead of a bunch of flowers, give me some bags of dirt, some plants and then let me play! Or better yet, clean my windows and make me a cuppa tea, or cook me a nice dinner!

Personally I find Valentine’s Day irritates me, not because I don’t believe in love, but why on earth do we need just one day where we are meant to be loving, and why is it only focused on romantic love?

What if you aren’t in a romantic relationship? What if you’ve lost your partner? I mean for criminies sake, why aren’t we celebrating all forms of love – family, friends, community, nature, spiritual and most importantly self love?

Because, let’s be honest – without self love and appreciation for your own gorgeous being, you don’t have anything! (And NO self love is NOT selfish!)

Had to clear that up as one of my clients a while ago said that they felt selfish taking time for themselves and doing something nurturing.

Self-love is all about nourishing your mind, spirituality, and physical body. Try to aim at all three of these to create a more well-rounded self-care plan. Focus on activities you get excited about doing. This is all about you after all, if it doesn’t give you a little thrill, why bother?

Here’s a lovely, easy candle ritual for self love for you to do.

So what are you going to do for yourself this week, to acknowledge how special and wonderful you are?

I know what I am going to do, most certainly.

Okay, I have chuntered on enough. When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to guide this week I was delighted to see that the Wild Kuan Yin Oracle were adamant! (And I mean adamant). If these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:

Within you beats a wild and compassionate heart, alive with fierce optimism. Your heart knows that love has the power to conquer fear. You have the courage to walk a path of transformation. You are not afraid to shed old skins to become more of your divine self.

You dream of living your highest destiny with fearlessness and joy. You are one of the wild ones. You will not be tamed by convention. You will not be censored by the fears of others. You are not afraid to be different. You are not afraid to be open to life, to take risks for what you love, and most of all, to keep hope in your heart.

When the loving peace of Spirit seems too far away from the troubles of the physical world the Divine Mother will hold your hands, close to your heart, or rest gently on your forehead. She will bring you comfort.

She’ll remind you of your fire, your boldness, your unique beauty, your passion, your courage. She’ll guide you through even the darkest loss into the blessing of new life.

Fabulous!

Okay dear heart, just settle into yourself. Allow your breath to find its natural rhythm. Just breathe into all the corners of your glorious being, and allow in your mind’s eye a glorious vortex to start swirling.

As it opens, see it filled with love, all sorts of love and allow it to soothe you and to remind you that you are love incarnate. Then when you’re ready pick the card or cards that dance around your heart.

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go look?

BLESSING TO BEGIN

You are being given a divine “leg up”, a blessing to begin. The Divine is going to help you launch something important – an idea, a seedling of hope, a new start.

It may feel as though something is being handed to you, as though the Divine is offering you some sacred help. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that because it is easy in the beginning it is not worthwhile or important. It is!!!

Sometimes we get an infusion of divine energy into a start-up to get it going because the Divine knows how important it is and wants to give us a helping hand.

Accept the help and opportunity that so easily comes your way now, but also remember that you are being given help because there is something of great worth here.

If you are asking about being ready to start something, be that a project or even a new relationship, an expansion in your family or a new training program, this is your affirmation and validation from higher guidance.

Whatever stage you are at in the manifestation of your dreams, be it the earliest glimmer of a vision or one that you have invested decades of your life to and on which you are far along the path, the gift of the Mother is bestowed upon you – her red poppy of success.

Take a step. You have been thinking about it. Do it.

It may be an actual journey or a new class, a new habit or speaking the truth to others about something meaningful to you. Or it may be an opportunity that is about to sweep in unexpectedly.

The Divine will protect and assist you and in taking a step, you open up avenues for the universe to bless you with all manner of resources and assistance. The assurance and blessing of the Divine Mother empowers your own soul to take even the most apparently impossible or intimidating of prospects and turn them into accomplishments whilst growing in self-confidence and self-mastery.

So believe in yourself. The Divine Mother does.

GRANDMOTHER DRAGONFLY HOLDS THE WISDOM

Sometimes there is benefit in focusing on the new, seeking out untried paths, developing untapped resources and exploring possibilities. The intoxication of hope, inspiration and optimism combined can be hard to resist.

However, if fear, boredom or lack of commitment is beneath the quest for new adventures, if we are believing that what we need or want is always just beyond the next horizon, or that somehow the grass is greener in the next field rather than where we stand, we may be dissuaded from applying ourselves to the worthwhile tasks before us right now.

If we are an imaginative and visionary type of personality, we may rebel against the mundane tasks of applying ourselves daily to bring an idea to life. We may become seduced by the constant thrill of coming up with new ideas, entranced with the promise of something new.

However, if we were to stop and look clearly at what we already have in our lives, we could realise that there is much of value waiting to be put to use.

The sunflower holds wisdom medicine for humanity.

Growing from seed, it sprouts tall with a firm stalk and flexible head that follows the arc of the sun across the daytime sky. At the end of its life cycle, as the head withers and the plant faces the earth, its vibrant yellow petals collapse, turn brown, releasing its seeds. These seeds hold the life force of the plant, distilled.

Highly nutritious and supportive of life for future plants and even for human beings, the sunflower’s seeds allow for life to continue to expand and flourish on earth.

Do not step away from what you are cultivating, even if it seems to have lost its steam, run out of energy or be utterly dead in the water! There is something within what you have been working on that is going to yield something of great benefit.

There will be much more success, prosperity, happiness and maturing of your ultimate life goals and journey in tending to what is already further along in development than in something new.

Grandmother Dragonfly offers you vision that is wide and unlimited by preconceptions.

You may need to look differently at what you have nurtured and how to tap into what it has become to be able to share it with others and allow its sustaining grace to nourish human life in its own way. You will help people in many and varied ways. It is all a part of your natural development and you can trust in it.

There is no need for you to ever be impatient or doubting of this.

SHE TAMES BY LAYING DOWN THE STAFF AND ROPE

My ways prevail. I subjugate the lower to the higher without any force.

Through my ways, correct alignment to the higher divine order is established.

My authority is supreme, yet I’ve no need to enforce it. Devotion to me is absolute, yet I bestow freedom. I show you now , the whispering way to tame great force. I initiate you into the way of strength without coercion, the way of attraction without demand.

Follow me and learn the art of feminine power; that fear shall always succumb to love.

There is something that you want to attain. A situation exists that you would like to change.

It may be something in your way of thinking or being, or a habit of your body or mind. It may be a pattern within your emotional world, or an actual physical situation or obstacle you wish to change.

Perhaps you want it transformed completely, or perhaps you simply want some of the rough edges smoothed.

No matter whether it is a small or large change that is desired, you have been attempting to bring it about through exertion of your will. Now there is a time and place for such approaches. The strength of the human will should never be underestimated.

Yet there is another way, a gentler and more peaceful way, that will evoke little resistance within you and help you attract what you want rather than to have to carve it out of your own blood, sweat and tears. This is the taming power, the magnetic lure of attraction that can tame even beyond the capacity of will.

The way of gentleness takes great strength of will. But it is will that redirects the pushing, striving mind rather than the action of willpower that seeks to mould the physical world or control the people in your life, to have them act as you wish.

It is a way that attracts the devotion of others, and draws to you the aid and support you need, yet you are not required to grasp for such generosity.

You must be willing to become empty in order to be filled.

You must be willing to accept the very thing you wish to be transformed. You must be willing to become flexible in order to stay true on the path. You must be willing to become childlike in order to be wise. It is in embracing what is that empowers you to transform it.

You can, of course, choose the other way; to pursue, push and direct. However, you will find it an uphill battle all the way and it will only get you so far. This way holds more finesse, attains a greater result and will lead you further along your spiritual path as you learn that the opposites are only an appearance of reality, not reality itself.

You can then manifest through invitation what is offered from the heart space. There is no control here; and yet, you will seem to command an army whilst ever your heart is pure and remains true to peace.

What you want is possible. Striving will create friction where surrender and invitation through love will create affinity with the goal.

Woosah! Those were glorious messages for the week! So gorgeous one, sending you big love, squeezes, warm cups of tea and a soothed soul. May your heart be full and your spirit light! Try out the candle ritual and remember – You are loved, you are worthy and you are amazing!

And if you want to keep up with when The Numinous Collective is available, add yourself, we would love to journey with you!

Chinese New Year – Let’s Welcome in the Wood Dragon……..and so much more!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Majestic, Mellow, Momentous, Mystical, Merry, Mischievous, Marmalade Made Manifesting Monday!

(Had to slip Marmalade in as for me marmalade on a glorious piece of fresh bread toasted – nom, nom, nom!)

Okay delicious lovely, grab a cuppa as we have lots to cover this week!

We are talking about the energy of February, which is about “Building the Foundation”. (And if you remember January was all about creating your Vision.) On February 9th we have the Aquarius New Moon, and the next day on the 10th we say goodbye to the Year of the Rabbit and welcome in the auspicious Year of the Wood Dragon!

Now, I don’t know about you but I am super pumped about all that is transpiring.

I have been dancing with my vision (which is rock solid clear) and putting the finishing touches to a collaborative programme with the wonderful Lisa Wolfe. And on Chinese New Year, we will open up applications to join The Numinous Circle, an incredible 9 month container.

I’ve also finalised the Mastery and Manifestation 3 month container, as well as mapped out 12 amazing Master Classes for the year! And last but not least there is a Sacred Site retreat coming in the Fall of this year! And changes happening in The Creatrix Circle – phew.

So can you say Hell Yes! – as I am.

I have been dancing with Vision and Foundation to the nth degree, as I am most certainly a Dragon and I am stepping forth loud and fucking proud!

So what does Building the Foundation mean? Let’s let Lena explain that one:

“When creating a new structure, a good strong foundation is a necessary first step in the process. When we are dreaming up and envisioning the end-result, the foundation is not what we usually focus on in our vision. However, if you don’t have a solid foundation, you don’t have a solid structure.

January was focused on having a vision and making a plan. Now it is time to commit to the vision and the plan and follow through with building the foundation for your vision to manifest.

This foundation is not a literal one but rather an energetic one that includes your body, mind and spirit, as well as parts of your physical environment that support who you are.”

This monthly energy theme, ties into the Aquarius New Moon energy.

This Aquarius New Moon invites you to look at your feelings of security and what makes you feel secure and safe so you can really thrive in this world.

If we look at where these feelings of security and comfort are in our own bodies, we can begin to see a link between how small or large our life is.

The more confident, secure, and safe we feel, the more likely we are to expand our wings, take chances, and live more fully. The less confident, secure, or safe we feel, the more likely we will play it small.

So lots of stuff, especially around freedom or lack of, sense of tribe and community or lack of, and feeling of hope, prosperity and expansion, or lack of may come up.

Thus, harness both the monthly energy and the moon energy (yet alone the Dragon energy, which we will get to in a moment), to make some changes.

Changes that stick and allow you to tap into your inner warrior, learn, study, grow – whatever you need to.

Now for my most favourite piece – The Year of the Wood Dragon.

Interestingly enough in my family, all the females for 8 generations are Dragons. None of the males.

Think about it, Dragon only happens once every twelve years and somewhere amidst that calculation the women chose to embody that energy! Muhahaha.

So what does the Wood Dragon year bring to you?

Dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that is not of the mundane earthly world. It has the highest vision and broadest reach – they soar the highest and furthest. It’s a year to look beyond the conﬁnes and to dream big, to envision the future we want. Getting clarity on our purpose or mission is essential.

Dragon years are considered very auspicious. Symbolizing power, inner strength and courage, this is a year to actively step into our power and nobility and allow our gifts, talents and true medicine to shine out.

Authenticity is key and is of the highest vibration. We are asked to believe in ourselves, to remember who we are, to ﬁnd our own authentic story and not anyone else’s.

The exalted Dragon insists on raising the standards, set your goals high for it’s time to really step up.

“Wood energy allows us to grow, expand, and keep our vision on track for the long term. The Season of Spring is connected to the element of Wood, so this year of the Dragon will help us to create new beginnings, plant new seeds, and allow our garden to flourish.

The energy is ripe for new beginnings and undergoing new ventures, but we have to create stability and work from the heart.

Green is connected to the element of wood and the heart-chakra, so in the year of the Dragon, we are going to be constantly reminded to come back to the heart, and to open ourselves to receiving.”

Oh my giddy aunt. Do you see how all these delicious energies this month fold together? And how they all weave with the 8 energy of this year? (For those of you who chose an Opening the Door reading you will really know what I’m talking about!)

So there we have it honey. I hope you brought a cuppa and did take time to read, as this is the time to finally make the changes you have talked about sweets.

Enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

These are glorious new guides who insisted on coming to play, which was most interesting as they have been with me for 6 months.

Thus, let me introduce you – These are the wardens to help you deepen into your self-awareness, especially in relation to nature. These are the stewards and the guardians. They are here to guide you, protect you as much as you are called to do the same for them. Allow the natural world to weave into your day to day, open your eyes to what surrounds you and open your heart to receiving.

So my darling one, take a moment to just breathe. Just let the energy of Foundation, Clarity and Expansiveness fill your body and your mind. Allow your inner light and spark to rise up to meet it and meld with it. See you Vision, allow it to wrap around you like a glorious blanket and make you smile.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Ready to meet your new guides?

THE BOAR AND THE PUMPKIN

Confidence

With their winding vines and large, heavily seeded fruit pumpkins signify abundance, health, and resilience.

But think of the pumpkin – each one is full of seeds, all carrying the seed of potential and creation.

Meanwhile, the fierce and intelligent boar is known for its sharp tusks and aggressive movements.

The boar invites you to step into the place of Strength and Power,

Boars are associated with strength, power, and resilience. Their robust and fearless nature symbolise the ability to overcome challenges and obstacles.

So what happens when we combine pumpkin with boar?

It’s time to claim your confidence. Embrace who you are and what you know and allow any insults of attempts to damage your morale to roll off your back.

You are thick skinned like a pumpkin and courageous like a boar.

Ask yourself:

What accomplishments am I proud of?

How can I improve my confidence and sense of worth?

THE DEER AND THE OAT

Healing

The shy and gentle fallow deer is known for its white spots and the broad, velvety antlers it sheds and regrows each year.

Deer bring in the energy of gentleness, innocence, and a peaceful nature. Deer also invite you into vigilance.

Not OCD vigilance, but the attention that needs to be paid to the boundaries around you and what you are allowing in. Thus, encouraging you to stay attuned to your surroundings and inner self.

Similarly, oats are symbols of restorative nutrition.

Even in poor soil, oats can flourish, providing hearty sustenance.

You are being invited to rest and recharge.

Moderation and mindfulness are key as you recover from any trauma or a period of intense exertion.

Ask yourself:

How do I rest and recharge?

What practices nourish my soul?

THE PORCUPINE AND ANEMONE

Boundaries

The porcupine, with its impressive quills, is a well-known symbol of self-defense

According to a legend common among the Anishinaabe tribes, the porcupine got its quills by placing the branches of a hawthorn tree on its back, defending itself against the bear.

Nanabozho – the trickster spirit in Ojibwe myth – saw the porcupine’s cleverness and fashioned it a coat of quills to wear from then on.

Just as the porcupine curls into a ball to defend itself from predators, the anemone flower turns inward and down during rainstorms, protecting its delicate petals from damage.

You can’t help others unless you first help yourself.

Maintain healthy boundaries around your time and energy, giving generously only once you are sufficiently fed.

Ask yourself:

How can I ensure my needs are met?

Have I established healthy boundaries around my time and energy?

Do I respect the boundaries of others?

Wowzers! Oh my gosh, I love these guides and they tie in so well! Which one did you pick, or did you go for all? Sending you big hugs gorgeous one, please, please step all the way into these energies and come dance with me in the field of infinite possibilities. Your being, your light, your heart is needed!

Imbolc, The Gentle Awakening and a Gift for You!

Jenny Heston · 3:03 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Mystical, Marvellous, Magnanimous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you gorgeous one? How are you feeling?

I don’t know about you but January has been playing with time in weird ways. One moment it feels as if it was zipping by, and the next moment it felt as if it was dragging on for nearly a year! (Most discombobulating!)

This can create a most peculiar feeling for those of us who are “doers”. As part of us is itching to do, take action, follow the programming, and the other part is still in the reflective, integrative state.

So let’s explore the energies of this mid winter time, Imbolc.

I have a glorious gift to support you at this time. If you read on, you will understand why I created her for you.

Imbolc is on Thursday and marks the spot of mid-winter.

The mid place between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. This time of year can feel rather heavy, grey and drab in many ways, but………

Imbolc marks the very first stirrings of new life. It is a time of bitter weather and biting winds. The days may have been growing longer since the Winter Solstice but it often seems like winter is now at its harshest.

The long cold nights of January often weary the spirits and fierce storms are common in February. Yet look closely and glimmers of change can be found in the new buds on the trees and the green shoots of early spring flowers breaking through the frozen earth.

Imbolc brings in the delicious energy which invites you to gently awaken and start planning your new seeds for the year.

And I want you to ask yourself – what are your seeds going to be?

What is your Truth? What do you Desire? (This isn’t about what your mind says you “should do”, it’s about what your heart and soul are calling you to do). Those are two powerful questions to ask yourself and then listen to the whispers that arise.

I love the energy of Imbolc, it’s gentle, inviting and nurturing. It’s a time of AWAKENING.

Not a TO DO Awaken, but a gentle stirring, a slight flexing and a big stretch.

From the hibernation of Winter we oh so gently move into the hope of a spring to come, something new and delightful. From the dark cocoon, we peek to see if things have changed.

Spiritually, this is a time of new life coming into manifestation. We may only be seeing the tiniest hints of life above the surface but things are really beginning to stir in the darkness.

So come back to the questions – What is Your Truth? What do you Desire?

At Imbolc, we’re beginning to really realise, something is shifting in our lives.

Imbolc itself means “quickening in the belly”. There is something shifting and changing.

We are beginning to root a bit more into this year of 2024 with its delicious 8 energy and we are expanding in some way. (Whether you can see it or not – can’t you feel it, though?) And there is a lot of resistance that comes with big expansion.

There’s a whole lot of forces (internal and external) that want to keep you small. It’s scary to level up in your life – and there are really strong parts of us that don’t like that.

But this is the work of winter: Winter is where you integrate all your experiences from last year & it alchemizes into new life, new growth, new parts of you that will emerge in the weeks & months ahead.

Right now there’s a stretching & growing happening deep within you. (Even if you can’t see it, it’s there!) And that can be deeply uncomfortable. Depending on the shifts you’re making in your life, the resistance can be intense.

And it creates a conflict within you. This is where the question arises: do you have the strength & the courage to push through that resistance, to whatever’s on the other side? Or do you give in & lean back on old ways of operating?

This is the challenge and invitation at Imbolc.

If things feel hard for you right now, trust it’s because you are EXPANDING. You’re doing big work in your life (even if you can’t see it, yet) and you’re going to feel resistance to that.

At Imbolc, this is when the seeds of your life are created and planted….

So remember to take sweet, gentle care of yourself right now. Nurture yourself, nourish your spirit. And REST, sweet one. Just rest. We are still in winter. This is your most important work.

So to help you with your work I have a gift for you!

This is the Fabulous Imbolc guide, which I nicknamed Fi after my glorious big sister who hated winter! I mean, HATED winter with a passion!

She suffered from SAD and Depression and come December she would tank. Her energy would drop, her mindset would go dark and there were some days that getting out of bed was a struggle.

Yet ever so slowly, as the snowdrops would come and the days would start getting a bit longer, she would Awaken. And it was a slow awakening. Her energy would perk up and she could feel the growth stirring underground, the change and the hope.

This gift is by donation, with the funds going to mental health awareness, as too often we look at someone’s smile and don’t understand the struggle they are working with. Yes?

Imbolc Blessings to you gorgeous one.

May the sun shine on your face, your desires rise to the surface and the seeds that you dream into being flourish throughout the year.

Okay, enough chuntering!

With Imbolc around the corner, when I went to the cards I grinned a huge grin as the gorgeous guides of The Faery Forest Oracle were adamant to join! Now if these are new guides for you, please let me introduce them as it would be rude not to!

“Let us enter the wild green world together, friend, the faery forests where the great trees speak with us, the moss soft underfoot, the light pure and gentle. The homes of the once Sacred groves of the Celts, the Saxons, and the Vikings…and to the people who were here long before we had names with which to call them to us – the faerie people. May the wild green world and the wondrous beings of this Faery Forest heal us, inspire us and urge us all to become more who we truly are meant to be.”

I have created a guided visualisation for you to really see this energy that is flooding in you, around you, towards you and through you. If that doesn’t resonate then just Breathe. Breathe into your toe nails, breathe into the roots of your hair, breathe in all the promises, the blessings and opportunities and sigh your exhale out, letting go of anything that feels a tad sticky or tacky.

When you are ready, invite your inner wise knowing to pick the card or cards that call to you.

What whispers for you, what do you need to be aware of?

Did you remember to pick?

Take a breath and let’s go have a look!

THE TRICKSTER

Let me be a reminder to be true to yourself, to your own personal truths, to the code within your soul. Truly, at this time it is essential for you to let your conscience be your guide, and to live according to your own creed, with open eyes.

Do not fool yourself into believing another person’s vision and ideas are more important than your own – question agendas, and be aware of people’s history.

For at this time, there is one about you who is attempting to persuade you to their cause, to join them in what they see is a great task, but which in truth is simply a harnessing of your power to their agenda, which is not for your highest good.

All tricksters are charming and know exactly what to say to persuade you – but this is mere language. Their deeds will not match their words, and what you are agreeing to by joining with them will be a loss of your own personal dreams for the furthering of theirs.

If you allow yourself to be coerced, cajoled, and manipulated at this time, it will weigh heavily on your very soul.

Be more wary than is natural for you at this time. Do not betray yourself, or ignore the warning signs, which are all about you. Do not foolishly give away your power, but exercise it, and weave a future that is truly the one you wish to create – one, which will provide you with honour, plenty, and the satisfaction of having been true to yourself.

FAERY GODMOTHER

When the Faery Godmother comes to you, be aware that this is a time when you will discover what has been long hidden to you – your true self will be revealed in surprising ways every day, and sudden moments of heightened perception will make this time especially significant for you.

People finally get found out, manipulators can be seen through, true costs of circumstances are revealed, and any lies about you will be seen.

This can be hard, but it is truly a hardship that is born of protection – you are safer for knowing in whom you can trust in order to make the right choices for your soul.

Throughout these revelations and insights will be a guiding hand – and this is the Faery Godmother. She is showing you what it is you need to know in order to create and foster a life that works for you – and she is a protective force too.

So what you need will come to you, sometimes in strange ways. Be mindful of counting your blessings at this time – for this is the energy your Faery Godmother can draw upon to keep transforming your life into one which is more abundant, magickal, meaningful, and joyful.

Note every moment of truth – they are all significant, and you are better for discovering what was once hidden from you.

INITIATE

Your energy is unworldly, naive and unguarded – and you will therefore soon face tests which will help you acquire experience and wisdom. You have an inclination to take risks without thinking of where the road you wish to dart down will lead you, you have a tendency to say and do many things without thinking through the possible impact.

You speak the uncomfortable truth as no other can.

The lessons you are experiencing are filling your life with richness – you have so much trust and self-belief, but you are not prideful.

You are ready to take great chances, and others may even judge you as being about to take crazy risks. You may be contemplating leaving a safe job, about to travel, enter a new relationship wholeheartedly, or make a move in life without having examined all the consequences.

You are curious, enquiring, and open hearted.

You are inquisitive, but you are no fool. You are an initiate, and you will therefore take risks as you face the unknown.

Your next steps into the mystery of life will be blessed, and you have the courage to now enter the unknown.

Hmmm, breathe in, breathe out. I don’t know about you but the guides picked these to help remember the light that surrounds you and is encouraging you to streeeeettttchh and grow, like the sprout coming from the glorious seed. Awaken gorgeous one. And if you feel inclined grab a copy of FI.

Keep cosy, laugh tons and make soup! (Always a good thing). Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next week.

Pluto, Revolution and the Full Wolf Moon.

Jenny Heston · 4:44 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Miraculous, Misty, Manifesting, Monday!

How are you most gorgeous bean? How are you feeling?

I don’t know about you, but the end of last week brought up a lot of “delicious opportunities for growth”, where I could really see where I wasn’t standing in my power, strength or I was and it was tweaking some people. Sigh.

Boundaries really tweak some people.

Which doesn’t surprise me much as we have Pluto moving signs, a Leo Full Moon (aka The Wolf Moon) this week and we are just coming out of the introspective first 3 weeks of this year. Yes?

So let’s talk about Pluto – as you may be thinking, meh, what’s the big deal?

Pluto is that delicious planet that we continually bump off our planetary list, but it still holds ground – big ground.

On January 20, Pluto started into Aquarius, marking the final time the planet associated with death, destruction and the underworld will retrograde between the zodiac signs ruled by Saturn.

For the last 15 years, Pluto has been in Capricorn, driving global institutions, organisations and empires to success but as it enters Aquarius, it will influence transformation, personal growth, power dynamics, sexuality, revolution and technology, pushing us to plumb the depths of our subconscious.

This is a big deal, people.

In fact, Pluto’s movement into this innovative zodiac sign only happens every 248 years.

So the fact that it’s happening right now, during this time of endless back-to-back(-to-back) unprecedented events is … notable.

Yeah, so what Jen?

Why is this transit so influential?

“Pluto takes about 248 years to orbit the sun and is one of the few planets that makes important moves only a few times during an average human lifetime.

This sets the foundation for revolution, change and transformation for generations to come.

The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798 and this period was a game changer in the history of mankind with important events like The French Revolution and the Irish Uprising taking place during these years.”

So when the planet of transformation gets tangled up with subversive Aquarius, we should expect some radical dismantling to occur, as well as some extraordinary developments that may change life as we know it.

Now do you see why I started with Pluto?

Then on Thursday January 25th we have the first Full Moon of 2024 – the Leo/Wolf Moon.

This Full Moon of January is a symbol reminding us of the power we hold inside ourselves. (Which ties into the 8 energy of this year!)

Like that gut feeling you sometimes get.

Remember to trust yourself and your intuition because you hold raw knowledge inside of you infused by Nature.

The Wolf Moon’s spiritual meaning represents intuition, untamed wisdom, and wild ancient lore.

When we hear wolves howl from the dark depths of January’s moon, it’s like a story from the past, echoing wisdom through time.

So my darling one, there’s a lot swirling around. Thus, if you feel off kilter or just want to snuggle up and be quiet. Do it!

If you want to delve deeper into the Wolf Moon and play with some ideas, I’ve got you covered.

Now with all that being said, let’s crack on with the reading.

These are glorious new guides (which my guides made me go find, lol). So let me introduce you.

“Wild women and wildlife, along with the wild, sacred spaces of our planet, are endangered species. After millennia of surviving a patriarchy that would plunder the natural resources of both inner and lives, humanity has begun to cry out for the sacred feminine.

It takes a brave heart to reach out to her, to claim her despite the forces that insist on perfection and control, but in kitchens and studios and gardens and boardrooms across the planet, and in our very souls, we have begun to cultivate sanctuary for her.

We dare to speak of what is vulnerable and receptive, what is nurturing and authentic, what is divinely cooperative and creative instead of competitive and coercive.

We brazenly demand a juicy life, one in which we are allowed to embrace our own widish nature, rather than live another day in the dry and thirsty land of conformity.”

So dear heart, take a breath, a glorious deep breath in and then blow it all out. Allow your lungs to tighten and expel all the stale air. Take another breath like that (not a gasping), but a slow in through your nose, breathe down to your toes and then expel it all out with a sound if that works for you.

Are you here now? You feel a bit more grounded?

From that place I invite you to allow the 8 energy to swirl (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, read last week’s reading). As that starts to swirl, the energy of choosing from your heart, inviting your inner warrior in, and putting yourself first…… Let the energy of this glorious Wolf Moon meld in, that sense of trust, old wisdom, watch them dance together.

Then from that place pick a card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see what these glorious guides want to share with you this week.

REST DEEP

Be easy with you.

You are home to a soul, a breathing piece of the eternal magic.

Just like the swan who glides over open waters, you too can move with grace, but only when you gift yourself with quiet and ease.

These come with rest.

Allow yourself to have time just for you.

As we cocoon in this winter space, allow yourself to create a safe space for solitude and stillness. Let your soul not be just a whisper, but to talk to you.

When you do this – Wild Woman Rises.

HOLD TRUE TO YOUR VISION

Only you know the sacredness of your vision, which means that you have to consult your inner guide for directions.

Expect those directions to run counter to what others are doing.

Stay the course.

You can’t blaze your own trail while following someone else’s footsteps.

No one can understand your vision as well as you can, because it has been gifted to you in particular, with your genius, gifts, vulnerabilities and foibles.

You’re uniquely qualified for the job, so go for it.

When we trailblaze in the name of authenticity, Wild Woman rises.

AWAKEN

It’s time to awaken, it’s time to step into your soul and being.

Sometimes, to achieve your awakening, you have to engage in the world around you, endeavouring to be a part of cultural consciousness and truth seeking.

And sometimes, to maintain your awakening, you have to shut your eyes to the world and go to the internal refuge that is your personal consciousness.

Your soul, your wise voice that closes out the external noise and opinions.

When we cultivate a practice of seeing that is true to our unique vision, and balance that with the wellness of all sentient beings, Wild Woman rises.

Wowzer, Holy Hannah, what glorious guides for this week with Pluto and the Wolf Moon. But my question for you is – are you willing? Are you willing to embrace or embody the energy that chose you? If so, you may be a candidate for our 9 month glorious container that starts at Chinese New Year. Have a stupendous week, stay warm, be kind and see you next week.

Big hugs!

2024 is Here and this is an 8 year (and Year of the Wood Dragon) has many Wonderful Invitations!

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Magnificent, Majestic, Meaningful, Miraculous, Manifesting Monday!

How are you most delicious lovely? It feels like we haven’t connected for ages, but in reflection it has only been a few weeks! And I will say I spent those couple of weeks facilitating The Omen Days (which is such a glorious way to enter a new year), and all the amazing women who participated really blew my hair back!

Welcome to January 2024.

A New Year filled with possibilities, potential and rich in Spiritual lessons.

If you remember, we started this new year with Mercury going direct after being retrograde. So the first 3 weeks of this month are all about integration, and being. It’s not about dashing around and immediately going into action with resolutions!

I will say that this Gregorian Calendar of “It’s a New Year ” puts a lot of expectations on people, and they are normally negative ones. Which thoroughly irritates me, as it is something that is pushed in the media, magazines, and our collective culture.

To me, resolutions are made because – “everyone does this”, we should all make resolutions as it’s a New Year. Mmmmmm, having done them for years (because that was expected), they are normally based on fixing something about oneself or not feeling enough.

An example. As someone who used to go to the gym daily, I would see people flood in at the beginning of January with the resolution of “I have to get fit and buff”. Mmmm, okay. By early February you never saw them again.

Why?

Because the intention wasn’t based on the energies that are in play, nor in how they wanted to feel.

So let’s look at 2024, in Numerology this coming year is an 8 year.

(Last year was more of an introspective and soul searching year).

8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!

It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.

If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, own your worth, get comfortable with uncomfortable emotions, and be a very active participant in creating your life (not a stand on the side victim).

Throw in the energy of the Dragon (which we will talk about in the next few weeks), and wowzer it’s a deliciously potent year.

The words that come up strongly are Heart based, Strength, Authenticity and Personal Power.

So ask yourself these questions:

What does your soul want you to share with you?

What would it feel like to move in the world from a place of ease, alignment and to really thrive?

How do you want to make your mark in the world?

Last but not least, How do you want to live? And how do you want to feel whilst doing that?

(So there is some musing for you to play with!)

Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that flew out and at me this week are the amazing Divine Circus Oracle, which made me laugh my soxs off – as the with all the energies swirling and the bizarre weather patterns that are happening, the world does feel like that right now.

Now, if these guides are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to, would be exceptionally rude!)

“What is life if not a Divine Circus? Life might seem ordinary at times, yet when we look more closely, it is bursting with creative diversity, constantly evolving, pulling rugs out from underneath our feet (usually just at the moment we think we have everything under control) and opening doors we couldn’t even see were right there before us moments earlier. Life is magical, thrilling, sometimes strange and even scary. It can inspire you and touch your soul, inviting you to discover the unique magic within you, to dare to live it, to express it, to play with possibilities and embrace what sets you apart from the crowd. “

Thus, I invite you to breathe and just BE with your gorgeous self here at this moment. Take a few lovely, rich, nourishing breaths and let the cares of the moment slide off like wee little raindrops. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that call to you.

If you need some help and support releasing the “shoulds”, the weight of energy around you I have a lovely guided visualisation for you. It’s fun, we are going on a yomp and an explore!

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see what the first guides of 2024 want to share with you.

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense. It is laughing with you, not at you. You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life.

There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears. Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with Lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild. Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message.

You are being empowered to overcome all odds. So you are going to win. No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either!

She is sending the best possible situation to you even now. It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

The Joker is the highest trump card to beat all others.

No matter how much another may seem to have the upper hand, or how many forces seem to be against you, even if you feel like a lone wolf about to be mauled by a pack of hungry lions, the Joker always wins.

She comes out of the blue, and changes destiny from darkness to light. She brings the brilliant solution that ends a problem, the way through that is best and brightest.

You probably won’t see it coming. It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true.

But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care.

Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert.

Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know. You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once. Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense.

Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying.

If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload.

You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

SILVER SIREN

When is an enchantment not enchanting? When it is a spell that you allow to consume your free will, even as it promises so much and yet delivers so little.

The Silver Siren sings her song, a pretty poison to the soul. Her false allure tempts the mind, even whilst the heart feels that something is not quite right.

Your power will come from discerning the truth and allowing her false promises no place in your heart.

If you compromise your integrity you will find that what you have obtained was not worth the price you paid for it, no matter how much you believed it would be otherwise. It simply will not be worthwhile.

The Silver Siren is a false light that is so very enticing but so destroying. To disempower the false light, you must stay true to what your heart says.

No matter how much you may fear you’ll regret it later on, simply say no to that which is unworthy, to that which does not hold the truth of love within. Even if a person declares that they are utterly enlightened and only interested in your highest good; even if the opportunity at hand is “too good to miss”, making your mind needy and confused, follow your heart – if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a NO!

You are being given an opportunity for empowerment. It is time to trust yourself and stand firm with your truths, and to experience the priceless sense of love, safety, security, peace and self-possession that this brings.

With this, your soul can sing its own song, a song that shares true light, the lightness of a heart that lives in peaceful truth with the world.

Holy Hannah, you can’t make this shit up! What fabulous guides to kick us off in January.

Take time this week to really FEEL into what you want to experience this year, and how you want to ALIGN with it. Big hugs and squeezes, and see you next week.
