Post Eclipse Portal, Mothers Day and Tension………..

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

How are you delicious lovely?  How was your eclipse experience?

I have heard from quite a few of you that it was rather intense and “thank goodness the frigging thing is done with!”

Hate to be the Debbie Downer here but eclipse energy goes on for a few months, so if you notice endings, things rapidly changing, remember to breathe, trust and flow, yes?

Often we desperately cling to things by our fingernails because they are “known”, they are part of our tight, wee little comfort zone, they feel safe, even if they aren’t.  After all, who wants to bump up against the electric fence of their comfort zone and make a change?

That can be scary!  

There are lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Let alone the mind chatter of “What will people think?  I can’t.  I’m too old, too young, too short, too tall”…………… and the list goes on and on.  

But what if you dropped into a place of Trust, Faith and pushed that electric fence wider and played with the mantra; 

“Let everything that needs to go, go.  Let everything that needs to come, come.”

You will be amazed at the results (and the lack of anxiety and worry).  

On top of the eclipse energy that is wafting in the breeze we have the energy of May and I will let Lena  share her wisdom and explain it to you.

The theme for May is: “TENSION”.

“Tension this month is the condition of pressure or a relentless force causing anxiety, strain, crisis, release, and change. We are stretched tight, some of us more than others, as we attempt to hold on to the past and control the future. The emotional center of the year is highlighted as we clear out old stagnation and get things flowing in a more positive direction. Fear of change and fear of the unknown is what keeps us grasping tightly to our defences, old habits and outdated beliefs.

It is hard to relax in a state of tension. Sleep cycles can be disturbed and we may be hypervigilant about what may or may not be just around the corner. Anxiety unconnected to any real situation may be a constant companion to some that are prone to it. There is physical tension in the body, pointing to necessary adjustments in self-care; emotional tension, often erupting in drama as old repressed feelings find their way up and out; and mental tension, especially related to the need to know and the fear of the unknown.

All of this may sound extremely challenging, however there can be a very positive outcome to the month but it requires certain disciplines and the willingness to deal with feelings and emotions without blame or judgement.“

Mmmm, do you see how this folds in like a victoria sponge cake into the post-eclipse energy and the mantra?

On Sunday in North America we celebrate Mother’s Day and for me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not.  As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

I also realise that Mother’s Day can be challenging for some as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, grief, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more. 

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.  

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class!  (Gotta love how energy moves).  

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in.  So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend.  

Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go.  Let everything that needs to come, come. “

On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

Okay, when I went to my delicious guides and asked who wanted to come and play.  

These lovely guides came in loud and proud!  If they are new to you, please let me introduce you.

“As above, so below.  As within, so without.  Today, many of us seek to reclaim the sense of connectedness that existed universally in ancient cultures, when human fate was wholly entwined with nature.  

The world was seen as a symbiotic entity in which all living organisms interacted and supported each other, from the innermost cellular level to the outermost cosmological level.  An essential bridge is being rebuilt between humans and nature, allowing us to access the realm of the transcendent and the land of the luminous.   

Herbalism is the medicine of belonging, a gateway through which we keep alive a very sacred aspect to our source. “

With all that being shared, let’s drop in shall we? Take a delicious breath and invite in the energy of endings, as when there is an ending there is a new beginning. What needs to just gently drop away (no drama), so that something new can grow?

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

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a wee peak, shall we?

REISHI

Retreat

Called lingzhi in Chinese, Reishi represents immortality and is considered the “herb of spiritual potency,” meaning success, well-being, divine power, and longevity.

Said to have been discovered in 396 BC in the Changbai Mountains of China by Taoist monks, it is one of the oldest mushrooms used in medicine.  It has long been called an anti-aging mushroom and powerful Shen tonic, a category of medicines that “nourish the spirit.”

Reishi powerfully influences our main spiritual centres: the endocrine, nervous, and hormonal systems.  Hormones powerfully impact our perception, mood, sleep-wake cycles, ability to bond with others, and awareness of reality.  They activate the nervous system, which is also directly related to igniting mystical experiences.

Reishi is ruled by Jupiter, the “guru of planets,” the one that dictates how we derive wisdom and access to the mysteries of life.  

Reishi is inviting you to Pause.  It’s time for renewal.  

If you feel overwhelmed or mentally overloaded, it’s time to retreat.  Take the time to recuperate and recharge, and personal growth will follow.  Overstimulation and indecision lead to a sense of weakness, imprisonment, and a feeling that you are evading death.  

Like Bear, hibernate or rest before you take on the next project or challenge.

Many Native American tribes have called this space of inner contemplation the Dream Lodge, a place to witness death and see beyond the confines of physical reality by visiting the dreamtime.  

Create the space to be in silence and calm the internal chatter.  Take time for reflection and nurturing yourself (and we all have that time).

MITRAGYNIA

Shape Shifting 

The Indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia have valued the power of this rainforest tree for thousands of years and have used it as a poultice to treat wounds, as well as treatment for a variety of symptoms, including stress, pain, fatigue and fever.

Like Coca leaves in the South American highlands, fresh leaves from the Mitragynia tree are chewed for energy and stamina throughout the day.  

Mitragynia was revered among monks in Asia, as it assisted them during long periods of meditation by providing focused attention and positive energy.  

Mitragynia embodies elements of both Saturn and Neptune, as it profoundly relieves and decompresses the musculoskeletal system, while granting a freeing and euphoric feeling to the body-mind.

Used in the right amounts, it can greatly assist those with addiction (Neptune).

The balanced side of Mitragynia represents the ability to shapeshift and adapt across realities.  

Like the Dragonfly, Mitragynia grants us the power to break through the illusionary facade we often accept as reality, providing us the freedom from pain in order to break through limiting illusions.

Dragonflies, like Mitragynia, help us initiate subconscious healing from the trauma experienced from endless cycles of pain and suffering.  

Dragonfly medicine invites us to seek out the parts of our habits that have gone unchanged, unnoticed, and stagnant.

Ask yourself, have I tended to the changes I’ve been wanting to make?

Don’t get lost in the labyrinths of self-doubt.  

Break free from illusive belief systems that hold back your transformation.

ANGEL’S TRUMPET

Death

Angel’s Trumpets have an intoxicating scent and flowers that resemble angelic horns aimed downward, symbolising the call of the angels to humanity.

Plants in the Brugmansia genus and relatives like Daturas have a rich history of use among shamans and magic practitioners, even though they are poisonous.

Some South American Indigenous groups, like the Kamsa, Jivaro, and Ingano, initiate their children at a young age into the path of curanderismo – becoming a healer – by ingesting Angel’s Trumpet during a flower ceremony.  

Jivaro boys who walk the shamanic path are given the medicine at the age of six to acquire an external-vision-producing soul that lets them communicate with ancestors called arutam wakani.

Angel’s Trumpet is ruled by Pluto and Mars.  

Angel’s Trumpet signals a time of catharsis or death.  

A deep emotional breakdown is due or near.  You may feel lost in your own emotional despair, depression, shame, or unworthiness, but now the angels of discernment and darkness are here to support you.

Coming eye to eye with the darkest feelings within yourself catalyses the greatest awakening.  Deeply pause, let go of control, and witness the broken pieces within yourself with loving awareness.

The medicine of the Bat symbolises the need for a ritualistic death of relations, situations, or aspects of life.  

Bat, like Angel’s Trumpet, signals catharsis and rebirth, signalling literal or metaphysical death of old patterns and worn out habits.

Understand that you can reconstruct at any time, create something new, deeper, richer and more in alignment, regardless of how shattered you feel.  

Wowzer!  Oh my giddy aunt, the messages tie in with the eclipse energy and the monthly energy (and you seriously can’t make this shit up!)

Wishing you a stupendous week and inviting the mantra into your life with trust and faith and feel the dross drop away like drops of rain off a Gortex rain jacket.  Big hugs and squeezes!

Beltane, Scorpio Eclipse, The Importance of 5, and a Gift!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Marvellous, Magnetic, Manifesting, May Monday!

(How’s that for alliteration?)

Happy Beltane!!

Yes, today is Beltane and the energies are so deliciously fantabulous.  

And to help you tap into these expansive energies (and to have some fun), I have created the Beautiful Beltane Book for you.  

I call it a booklet, but it’s 23 pages packed with rituals, suggestions, journal prompts, spells and more!  And to celebrate this magickal day it is my gift to you.  

Now if rituals, lore, magick and spells aren’t your gig and you just want something simple – I have 5 Questions to Ask Yourself on Beltane.  

Beltane is the cross-quarter day that marks the midpoint in Spring. We are now half way between the Spring Equinox & the Summer Solstice.

Beltane celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active. 

All of life is bursting with potent fertility, look at the trees around you – (if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere), they are bursting forth with bright green leaves and the little sparrows are back as well as the robins.  Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme.  

In the middle of the season there is a clear difference in the energy compared to the beginning of the season. You can see evidence that the wheel has shifted. The days are noticeably longer – the sun sets much later than it did at the Spring Equinox. It’s grown considerably warmer outside. At the Spring Equinox new life was just beginning to emerge. But here, at the beginning of May, there is no denying that the Earth has been reborn.

Beltane is a time to celebrate all the pleasures in being alive.

The Goddess has reached her fullness and is the manifestation of growth and renewal and shows up as the May Queen, Flora, the Goddess of Spring. The God emerges as the Young Oak, May King  or as Jack in the Green. 

They fall in love, the union is consummated and the May Queen becomes pregnant.  

Together the May Queen and the May King are symbols of the Sacred Marriage, the union of Earth and Sky.  If you have ever read “The Mists of Avalon” you will know what I am talking about.  

This is the night of the Greenwood Marriage. It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. And about conception.

A brilliant moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. And have some fun!

And like Samhain, this is when the veil is thinnest between our world and the Fae, so leave a wee giftie out for those ancient magickal ones.  

Now, let’s have a quick chat about the Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse that happens this Friday on May 5th.   

Remember that eclipses come in pairs – we had one just two weeks ago on the New Moon and now we close the portal with the Full Moon one.

Even with it not being a full eclipse it amplifies the power of the Full Moon, so if you are finding your energy a wee bit whacky and things aren’t quite going as planned, breathe!

However, one of the things that stands out about this eclipse is the magic and symbolism.  

“This Scorpio Lunar Eclipse falls on the 5th day of the 5th month at 14 degrees of Scorpio. 14 is also connected to the number 5 (1+4), making the number 5 energies apparent and strong.

5 is a number of change, creativity, imagination, and play. 5 is also connected to the elements- earth, air, fire, water, and ether. In astrology, the 5th house is associated with the sign of Leo, love, romance, our children, and the things we do for fun.”

The Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse doesn’t feel like play. It carries heavy energies that are likely to stir our deeper emotions. We may feel things from our past or hidden shadows coming up to the surface. Challenging information or even secrets may be revealed. We may find ourselves feeling raw, exposed, and a little vulnerable.

But invite in the energy of the number 5 and think about how our lives are a series of experiences that (depending on how we view them), can either tank us or we can invite in curiosity, play and a willingness to pivot.  

Okay, that was a lot, so let’s crack on with the reading.  

I laughed when I saw the guides, as I mentioned the veil is thin between us and the Fae and so the Fae decided to show up.  (You seriously can’t make this shit up).

Do I need to introduce you to them?

These glorious guides give you needed glimpses into your everyday life and help you see where changes can be made to enhance your life here on Earth.  There is so much more to our world than we often perceive.

There exist many dimensions and numerous beings that reside in these realms.  All of these elemental beings are interconnected with us.  We do not live independent of one another but are interdependent.  These wonderful beings are here to help.

Okay dear one, take a moment.  

It’s so easy to just pick a random card with no intention, but what if you allowed yourself that moment of intention?  What if you dropped into your body, breathed into the tight places and just paused?  Let that quiet and stillness soothe you, calm your mind and break up your day.  

Then from that place, on this day, ask your wise inner self – what do you need to hear this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

Always

Infinity

Let’s talk about Infinity, shall we?

To truly understand life, you must understand that you have always been….and always will be.  You are part of the Divine Source that rules the Universe.  Your spirit and your soul are immortal.

As the physical body passes from existence your energy body survives, eventually to move back to join with the Spirit.

Your connection to Divine Spirit is never severed.  You are never alone.  You are always connected to the Source.  You are the vehicle through which the Divine Spirit manifests on Earth.

Understand your divinity and your importance on Earth.

Appreciate that every other being on Earth is equally important to the Divine Plan.

First, always be there for  yourself!

Perhaps in the past those who should have stuck by you did not.  Those you thought were true were not.

Release old pain and habit patterns and allow your highest good to manifest in your life.  

Express your gratitude!

This primes the pump for a real lasting relationship, with yourself first, then someone else.  And always with the Divine.  .  

Remember the elementals that are helping you along the way.  Their devotion to you is infinite and unwavering.

Fire Dance

Fire Energy

The Fire Dance represents the dance of life, for it is the giving of life, which is the function of the Kundalini energy force (also known as serpent energy).

It is through this energy that life and creation are achieved.

The Kundalini energy is a mighty force that should be allowed to awaken at its own natural pace.  It will naturally open as you become more loving and more conscious of your own divinity and connection to Spirit!

Fire energy that is awakened too soon is at risk of misdirection.  It is wiser to study, read and work on your own spiritual understanding.  This will gently let the fire energy rise.  Balance is very important in this energy system and promotes well being on all levels.  

This energy is in constant use daily in conjunction with all of your energy systems, which all work together.  

If you have been feeling low in energy be sure to review your eating, exercise, and sleep habits.  Take good care of yourself and make a “releasing of worries” statement to yourself and the Universe.  

A delicious and easy way to help your energy systems stay in top running order, is to sit in a quiet, comfortable place and close your eyes.  Slowly imagine breathing in and out each colour of the chakra system…start with red and move to orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.  

Imagine breathing in a beautiful mist of each colour.  

Breathe each colour until it feels integrated within your body and then move to the next.  Soon you will feel more balanced and energised!

Trespassers

Boundaries

Fairies have boundaries, in case you didn’t know.

They are usually in the form of magical spells placed around sacred places in order to keep out those who might tamper with their sacred objects.  They also have an invisible magic boundary around their realm.

It is not easy to break through this boundary but it can be done when one knows the secret words!

Are  you having trouble respecting the boundaries of others?  Is someone not respecting your boundaries?

A third question is, “what kinds of boundaries or limits am I placing upon myself?”

These are questions to ask yourself in order to discover which area of your life you need to work on.  You cannot expect others to respect your boundaries if you are not clear with them yourself.  

You must state clearly and honestly to others about where you draw your lines.  Be kind but clear about your expectations.

In turn, be respectful of others’ boundaries also.

Their business is their own.  

With regards to the boundaries that we place upon ourselves; we often set these limitations on ourselves due to lack of confidence, self-respect, or even lack of knowledge.

Release any unwarranted restrictions that you have assumed.  

Release limiting habits and thought patterns.  

The dragon at your gate can either protect you or hinder you.  What will you ask it to do?

Woosah!  Happy Beltane, Happy Eclipse!  Be gentle with yourself but also push against the electric fence of your comfort zone.  Big hugs, bouquets of flowers. 

Well Hello Mercury Retrograde! And Beltane is almost Here!

· ·

Happy, happy Magickal, Miraculous, Magnificent, Musical, Majestic, Mighty Monday! 

How are you most delicious, lovely?  How did the eclipse treat you?

Isn’t it just oh so much fun to have that intense of an eclipse and then flop into mercury retrograde?  Part of me has been hugely confused as if I’m coming or going to be honest!

Throw into the mix of eclipse and retrograde,  I welcomed a wee 8 week old English Labrador puppy into our pack on the eclipse, so sleep has become a delicious commodity!  

Thus, I am very thankful I booked off the last few days of work last week as it’s been like walking around in a very peculiar alternate universe.

Okay, let’s have a look at this first Mercury retrograde for 2023.  

On April 21st (so last Friday) in the sign of Taurus Mercury went retrograde, so this will be our “cosmic” energy for the next 3 weeks.   

Mercury retrogrades tend to cyclically happen in signs of the same element and during 2023, all mercury retrogrades are going to happen in Earth signs.

Earth is our connection, our foundation, our stability – so rather important wouldn’t you say?

This eclipse can be seen as an invitation to reflect on, renovate, and reset our relationship with Nature, with our physical body, with matter, with our resources and possessions, as well as with money, receptivity and abundance.

Taurus is the first Earth sign, a simple, grounded, and practical archetype. 

Taurus is concerned with creating conditions that allow life to continue, creating stable and steady foundations and creating space to fully savour the present moment through our bodies.  This sign correlates with our value system, with our self-worth and with survival themes.

So this current Mercury retrograde is inviting you to reflect on your values and how they have been changing.  It’s an invitation to explore different ways of perceiving wealth and abundance and to question your habitual way of thinking about your body and sensuality.  

Basically, we are being inspired to slow down and practice feeling more and speaking less.  

Then on May 1st we welcome in Beltane!  Whoot!

I love Beltane, I love it because it is fiery, passionate, intentional and produces results!  I especially love it as it’s the time when the veil between this Earth and the Fae is exceptionally thin.  So Magick abounds!

Beltane is thought to be one of the more important festivals of the Gaelic calendar.  Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community.

Beltane is the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, making it easy to see why Beltane is typically associated with creativity, prosperity, hope, fertility, and sexuality.

The Beltane fires of yore were a time of revelry, pairing and celebrating fertility (there were lots of babies born 9 months after the celebrations!)  Also, cattle would be led between two fires for protection and to encourage a strong, fertile herd.  Holy wells were visited and feasts were had. 

Rowan was often used in Beltane festivals as it’s a tree of protection and healing. Branches of Rowan were placed as protection over the doors of houses and barns at Beltane to protect from increased Faery activity as they woke from their winter slumber.  (As they can be rather cheeky!)

Sprigs were worn for protection also. Rowan berries have a tiny five-pointed star on the bottom reminiscent of the pentagram.

So all in all a great time to celebrate, set intentions, fertilise either self or ideas and have a grand jolly time and invite the Fae to support you!  

So later this week, for all you glorious souls who are part of our email community, I will have a wee Beltane giftie for you to help you dance with the Fae and ignite your inner fire.

But for now, let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

When I went to the cards and asked who wanted to come play I laughed.  

The reason I laughed is these glorious guides are playful, but deep.  They think outside the box and invite you to do the same. 

 If you have never met these glorious guides, please let me introduce you.  “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. “

Ha!  Perfect for these delicious energetic times, wouldn’t you say?

Okay dear one, let’s get grounded and present.  Take a glorious deep breath and invite you to see in your mind’s eye abundance.  With Mercury retrograde in Taurus we are being invited to re envision what abundance means.  So what does abundance look like, feel like, smell like to you?  Allow whatever images float up to just swirl in a lovely vortex of colour.  Remember to keep breathing.  

If you need a deeper dive I have a lovely guided visualisation for you where we go on a little trip, don’t fret, you won’t have to pack much.

Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your soul strings.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

RA! RA! RA!

Have you had enough of the dark side of life?  Fear, doubt, uncertainty, anxiety, frustration and believing that you cannot manifest your dreams are signs you’ve been in the darkness for too long.  It’s your time to step out of the darkness and into the light.  

It takes a lot of courage to leave darkness behind and embrace the light.  To step into the light means that you give up attachment to drama, the stories of suffering and the pain of the past.  You don’t deny your struggles or your pain, but you know it is possible to let it go in favour of trust, reassurance, comfort and commitment to what holds meaning for you, again and again and again, for as often as needs be until you are free.

Sometimes the courage of stepping into the light means a willingness to set aside the mental anguish and say, “Today I just choose to trust that everything is going to work out according to a higher and unconditionally-loving divine plan that has my best interests at heart.”  It means that you acknowledge what you have gone through without needing to keep score.  It means that you are willing to pay more attention to what is happening in this moment, and to believe wholeheartedly that the universe is working with you and for you, not against you.  

Like the sun cracking through the night to bring the dawn of a new day, this is your divine wake-up call.  Your dark days are numbered and  your time in the divine spotlight is upon you.  Be willing to shine your light, even if no-one else around you seems to understand, acknowledge or recognise it at first, or even for a long time!  

You are brave enough to shine true with or without others holding your hand and encouraging you.  Maybe others need to find their way to you, so they can help you or be helped by your light.  For that to happen, you are going to need to stand in the dark and shine with trust, patience and courage.  

If you’ve been in the dark, so to speak, for a while, you might find it hard to trust in the light at first.  You might worry that the goodness won’t last and that it’s better to be pessimistic now than disappointed later.  Those are tricks of darkness.  Don’t believe in them.  

Trust in the power of light within you and don’t be afraid to let it shine bright.  

GYPSY COLOMBINE

The free spirit in you is rewilding itself, shedding social conditioning and past patterns of behaviour.  It is shaking off socialisation and emerging anew like a snake shedding a skin.  

The wild one within isn’t a save.  It is raw, yes, but also wise, authentic, beautiful and with a deep instinctive knowing as to what you must be. 

Can a bird ever be truly happy whilst trying to be a fish?  True freedom is to be truthfully yourself.

Politeness and people-pleasing, not out of respect but out of fear you will otherwise be rejected, is a form of social conditioning that dulls the wild one within.  

If you reject that conditioning in favour of rewilding, of getting in touch with your true instincts and nature, you will exchange lukewarm tolerance from others for their passionate admiration and love.  

And for those that cannot love you, that are afraid of how much life is in you, then let them be.  They do not belong in your world, nor you in theirs.  

The jungle of life is a vibrant, colourful and exciting place, but not everyone is ready to live there as yet.  That is just the way of things sometimes.

It’s now time to let yourself off the hook, to forgive and forget, to allow what’s been to have been and to start again.  No regrets.  No fear.  No doubt. 

 It’s time to heed the call of the wild and ask yourself, “What would set my spirit free?”

LADY LUCK

Lady Luck is on your side.  A change of fortune is in store for you, a twist of fate that is meant to be.  You’re a winner baby!  You are about to hit the jackpot.

Do you think that luck is something that only happens to other, luckier people?  Your attitude can attract luck to your side, no matter if you once thought you were the unluckiest person alive!

Luck is attracted to a certain type of consciousness, an attitude, a belief that life wants to help you, and has the infinite power and creative imagination to do that in endless ways.  Attracting luck means being open to the genius of life, which works itself out perfectly, bringing benefits to us again and again, even if we have no clue how, where or why it operates the way it does.  

You are being given a golden ticket, a lucky break, a change in fortune that was always meant to be for you, that was in your stars.  You can turn this lucky break into a lucky streak that stays with you for a long, long time, or even forever, with your attitude, your belief in the goodness of life and the generosity of your spirit.

Feel the thrill, the gratitude, the joy of being a winner, and thank the universe for it daily!  Luck will visit you soon and it will love being around you so much, it will decide to stay.

Woosah!  What delicious guides for the energies right now, yes?  So my glorious one, remember to slow it down a tad, re=envision what abundance and sensuality mean to you.  Be gentle with your wonderful self, and let’s get ready to welcome Beltane in!  Have a stupendous week and remember to stop and see the flowers (and smell them).  Big hugs and squeezes.

Signs, a Kick Arse New Moon Eclipse and opening the Eclipse Portal!

· ·

Happy Magickal, Messy, Mysterious, Magickal, Manic, Manifesting Monday!

How was your Easter or Passover?  Mine was delicious, filled with play, food, family, dirt and lots of outdoor adventures!

So let’s get down to it, shall we?  

Because this week we open  up the Eclipse portal this week- whoot!  (No, don’t run away and hide in the closet).

However, before we start – do you remember that I said your mantra this month should be “Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries?” (I hope you have been putting that into practice.)

So let me ask, before we dive into eclipse energy – do you pay attention to the signs that are trying to communicate with you?  I often hear from clients and friends that they are asking for a sign, but because it doesn’t come in the neat tidy package they expect, they ignore it.

Signs are everywhere (think about the stop sign just down the road).  Or the feather that flutters down on your path with no bird in sight.  

Signs are a way of the Universe/Divine communicating and chatting with us.  

Could be numbers that show up, animals that randomly appear, feathers dropping from the sky, a friend you haven’t heard from for years phones, the perfect thing you were desiring manifests.  

Why am I bringing up signs?  

As we open up the eclipse portal many of you have shared they have been experiencing physical symptoms, vivid dreams, that restless energy where it’s as if your skin is fitting a bit too tight, strange signs, insomnia and oh such much more.  

Including zero tolerance for bullshit and arseholes.  

Totally get it!  (Signs)

What does this Eclipse mean for you?

On April 19th/20th (depending where you live) we have the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries (think about that sign). 

This is a hybrid solar eclipse which  is a combination of an annular and total eclipse, where the former becomes the latter and then it reverses back.  

In other words “The Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse is a hybrid between an Annular Eclipse, where you can see a ring of fire around the Sun, and Total Eclipse, where the Sun is completely blocked.”

Hybrid Eclipses are incredibly rare and can suggest a transition or perhaps a shift between two worlds. Just as the Eclipse moves from Total to Annular, perhaps something in our lives is preparing to shift too.”

Eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.  

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over crammed closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

However, This is a very powerful portal for transformation, change and moving into the next level of productivity and manifestation.

Eclipses  often act as portals to the life that our soul needs us to lead, so we evolve.

The energy of an eclipse can be like a reset button for our lives, allowing us to release old patterns and make way for new growth.

This can be a challenging process, as it often requires us to confront our deepest fears and limitations. But if we’re willing to do the work, eclipses can also be incredibly transformative times that lead to greater clarity, purpose, and fulfillment.

Don’t be afraid to embrace the intensity of the upcoming eclipse season. 

Trust that the universe has a plan for you, and that this powerful energy is leading you toward the life that your soul needs you to lead.

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

We have new guides this week, and they are so appropriate!  

Please let me introduce them.  

Have you ever seen something and felt like it was more than what it seems at first glance?  A sign?  We’ve been conditioned to write off these experiences as pure coincidence or nothing more than random occurrences, but that is not always the case.

Signs and symbols are the Universe’s way of communicating with us.  Our willingness to become an active participant in the conversation is a choice.  

The Universe is always communicating and signs speak to us in a very personal way, allowing each of us to have our own one on one relationship with the Divine.  Almost like the Universe has given you a nickname or a secret code that only you can crack.

These guides are a conduit for that energy.  

You are being invited into a conversation with the Divine and your Higher Self that will feed your soul and reveal the very answers you are seeking.

Let go of doubt and follow the signs.

Okay, let’s drop in shall we?  

I invite you to just gently breathe yourself back into this moment.  Just this moment.  

Let the dross of the day or the mind drop to the ground and feel your breath filling your whole being.  Allow it to take whatever pace it needs.  Then invite into your mind’s eye a glorious swirling vortex of energy.  In that energy is interwoven so many glorious messages from the divine just for you and the pieces that you have been stuffing under the carpet.

Let them come up, with no judgment, just watch them, breathe in and welcome the signs from the divine, breathe out and let go of the bumps under the carpet.  

Then when you are ready.  Pick the card or cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s have a gander, shall we?

PALM

Destiny

Look at your hand, the palm of your hand.  There is power in your palm. 

When you rub your palms together vigorously you create a ball of energy.    A ball of energy that is palpable and can change things.  

So what are you passionate about?  Have you thought about your purpose?

You are being invited back to yourself and your destiny.

Prepare for fated events and glorious moments that seem out of your control.

You may notice an increase in coincidences, and things may align in ways that seem to be impossible.  These forces are pushing you toward your destiny.  You are being nudged to follow your soul’s calling.

If you don’t know what that is yet, take some time to feel into what you are drawn to and what you may enjoy.

You may experience such random connections that lead you to exactly where you are destined to be.  Allow your intuition and spiritual senses to guide you.

If you are feeling like you are destined for more, but not quite sure what that might look like.  Accept that you don’t have an explanation for everything and allow the Universe to work its magic and guide you.

Fate is stepping in and leading you to your next phase.

LOTUS FLOWER

Enlightenment

The lotus flower represents the quiet strength and ease that follow once you have achieved a heightened level of awareness.  There’s an inner knowing, peace, and spiritual connection that shifts your focus from constant worry to allowing yourself to approach situations as they come, with this awareness..

After many life lessons you have grown and acquired valuable wisdom.  Situations that may have previously caused stress or strife now roll off your back.

Approach life with a pure heart and calm mind, which allows you to rise above the noise.

With this enlightenment lifting you up, it is still important to stay grounded.  

Serve as an example for others who may be struggling or not possess the same level of understanding you now have, so be patient and accept people for where they are in their journey.

Remember to connect with your ancestors and your roots. You have lots to share. 

ANGEL NUMBERS

Confirmation

Have you ever looked at your watch, a clock and the numbers are repeated?

Maybe it’s 3:33, 4:44, 11:11 or others.  Repeating numbers are among the most recognisable symbols of the Universe that are speaking directly to you.

Once you start to notice an angel number, it becomes difficult to ignore, whether it be the building number 1111 or a receipt for $3.33 from the petrol station.  

Each pattern of numbers has its own individual message and energy, but overall, numbers are signs of synchronicity and alignment in your life.

They tend to show up as confirmation that you are not imagining the signs you are picking up all around you.

Trust you are on the right path.

There are many different instances in which angel numbers can speak to you, including the time on the clock, license plate numbers, phone numbers and more.

Listen to your intuition, as you could be receiving critical guidance about the road ahead.  

The Universe is guiding and supporting you in your journey, and the synchronicities are a constant reminder.

Trust that you are exactly where you need to be.

Happy Monday!  Happy Eclipse Portal.  Remember to keep your boundaries healthy and strong, release the dross, embrace and work with this gorgeous energy that wants to help and support you.  Huge  hugs, see you next week.  

Boundaries, Full Moon, Easter, and Eclipse Season cometh! Muhahaha!

· ·

Happy Miraculous, Magnificent, Moody, Melancholic, Magickal, Majestic, Moodling, Manifesting Monday! 

The first Monday in April (how the heck did we end up in April already?)  Time is doing some very interesting things for sure!

Holy hannah, I will say March zippity doo dad past with incredible speed.  One moment it felt like it was the beginning of March, then it was Equinox and poof – gone!  Did you feel the same?

Many of you have shared with me that you are feeling the surge of Spring energy, the creation, the planting of intentional seeds – however are also feeling a tad overwhelmed with the energies that are chaotically swirling right now.

I totally get it.

So let’s start with talking about Boundaries, shall we?

Did you shudder when I said Boundaries?  

There are all sorts of  boundaries that we work with every day.  Physical, Emotional, Sexual, Financial, Intellectual, Spiritual and Energetic.  

I think of boundaries as this glorious field of energy around me that has the capacity of osmosis, it lets in the delicious, yummy, healing stuff and becomes like a steel wall when shit is creeping in.  

I will be honest, I am very clear about what I allow through my boundaries whether it is through media, family, friends, random interactions, people I spend time with and even the clients that I choose to work with.

Boundaries are about healthy choices.

Boundaries are you getting clear on what is okay for you, what you need, and what you desire.  

Is that selfish?  Fuck no!  It’s healthy as long as they aren’t reactive (note that word). 

Knowing your values, owning your piece in any interaction you have and being clear about your boundaries up front is actually a refreshing gift for most of us intuitives and empaths (to be honest).  It’s something I teach in one of my courses.  

Boundaries embrace all aspects of you and yes, sometimes that means a chapter needs to close as it’s not healthy but insecurities and stories keep you stuck in it.  

Okay, so now we have boundaries gently talked about, let’s move onto the glorious Full Moon (Pink Moon) that happens on Wednesday, April 5th (just before Easter).

As Lena shares:  This moon brings a bit of air to fuel an already fiery time. 

You will feel inspired to act on a project, relationship or new endeavour. Be careful not to be too impulsive as it may backfire on your stability. 

Think things through carefully before- you leap and make sure that what you are reaching for is truly aligned with your emotional intelligence and not just your intellectual reasoning. 

This is a big moon for relationships as well. Don’t be surprised if something gets triggered unexpectedly that opens the door for deeper soul searching and resetting of priorities.

We have an opportunity to be reminded of what we love about our life and to reconnect with our hearts and appreciate the beauty all around us. This aspect joins with the need for action and moving forward so think of this as a practice in bringing the right balance into your life between right action and simply being in appreciation of what is around you.

If you find yourself challenged by what is going on around you, remember to practice patience, compassion and understanding. 

Don’t take anything personally and allow others to be just where they are without judgement. If you need to work on your personal boundaries, this is a good time to start that process.

(Note the energy of boundaries…..)

Then we have Easter, which I love – there are inflatable bunnies in my neighbourhood!

When my kids were smaller we would do a massive egg hunt all through the house, the property and up into the parks, I loved their joy of finding those wee chocolate eggs wrapped in glorious foil.  

There was one time, a few years ago,  I had set the hunt up (which meant getting up at 4am to do it)! 

It wended through the house, the gardens and up into a glorious park space with cliffs and alcoves.  They barrelled out with baskets in hand and found every frigging choccie egg and then as we were clambering towards home they saw someone sleeping under a tarp.

I was curious about what they would do, and left it up to them.  

They paused, and then in quiet collaboration they gently left a massive pile of choccie eggs outside the top of the tarp and when they got home they all sat in a circle, poured the eggs out and shared them up equally.  

Have to say, it made my heart sing.

However, sometimes family gatherings at celebration times don’t have that energy.  

Uncle Tom, who can be a sarcastic asshole, comes.  Auntie Jean who is so critical about the food is invited and though you mean well, we may not thoroughly enjoy it.  It can feel like a chore or an obligation.

I invite you to play with the energy of boundaries, who you are, what you want and why you want it and to use your voice with compassion but truth.

Now a quick peek into Eclipse energy. 

(Which we will dive into in a deeper way next reading, which will be after Easter).

On April 19th we have a New Moon in Aries with a solar eclipse.  

This is a very powerful portal for transformation, change and moving into the next level of productivity and manifestation. 

However, remember the boundary piece; as eclipses, they come in pairs and they can certainly shake things up.

Eclipses really uncover stuff.  I mean bring it to the surface like a boil!

Eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.  

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over crammed closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

An eclipse is a time where the dealings of our worldly life (money, relationships, work, family) can get a little wonky.

On the other hand, the mystical part of life becomes incredibly enhanced!

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

The guides that decided to come and play are the glorious guides of the Sacred Forest.  

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

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.  It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders.  While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless.  To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.  

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known.  Ancient wisdom emerges.  Revelations about your future are revealed.  Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you.  It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. 

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

So my dear one, just close your eyes and allow the delicious energy of this Full Moon and boundaries to swirl around you. Then when you are ready, pick the card of cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a peek.

BEAR SPIRIT

Healing

You can sense the presence of the bear, even before you see him.  

You turn slowly and look deep into his eyes, as a long lineage of healers – invisible, yet real – step out from beyond the trees and surround you both.  When you reach out and touch his thick fur, you feel healing energy instantly surge through you.

When the Bear Spirit appears healing on all levels is occurring, and it can come in many forms.  Be ready to accept it.  Know as well that you are a healing force for others.  

You may not even be aware that you are a conduit for healing energy, but when others thank you, simply say, “You’re welcome,” even if you don’t know how it happened.

In many native traditions, Bear Spirit is thought to be aligned with humans, as he can walk upright like a human.  He represents the healer and “good medicine”.  He also bestows healing powers to those worthy.  You indeed are worthy.

Bear Spirit energy can also represent grounding, strength, and confidence.  It activates a stable foundation to face whatever challenges appear in your life.

You are a healer, whether with your words, your hands, your ability to listen and a channel for the life force of the Universe.

You are strong and grounded.

Healing is unfolding and/or a situation is being resolved.

Have faith that all is well.

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you.  In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be!  It’s time for a new beginning!”  With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles.  Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life.  In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth. 

There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows.  Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.  

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters. 

 If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life.  Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle.  Life force and vitality are emerging.  Release that which doesn’t serve and support you.  

Make way for a new start! Success is at hand!

STAG SPIRIT

Leadership

A majestic stag stands atop a mossy knoll.  His nobility and grace are palpable.  You can see fog form around his nostrils with his every exhalation.  He does not need to announce his might.  Simply and utterly, he is powerful without words or proclamation.

In many traditions, the elusive and mysterious white stag is considered king of the forest.  With his noble antlers and his proud stance, he carries a commanding energy.  This card is calling you to claim leadership of your life.  Now is the time to step out of the shadows and become a beacon for others.  Don’t allow anyone or anything to dim your light.  

You may be asked to take on a position of authority.  Even if you have been in the background in the past, this is your time to step up and shine.  

Remember that a leader isn’t necessarily defined by age, status, or income.  A true leader is someone who is commanding, passionate, and motivating.  They have a vision and are able to make decisions with clarity and strength.

The greatest leaders are those who know how to serve and act as stepping stones for others to reach their dreams.  You empower others simply by being who you are…and who you are is enough.  Are you willing to step into the light and be a leader for others?

You inspire others to greater heights.  Step into leadership in your life.  You are a beacon for others.  Shine in your own life.  Be gentle with yourself and others; however, do not play small.  

Take action.  This is your time.  Step up.  

Woosah (yes, I say that a lot as that’s the energy that floods in).  Happy Monday, have a glorious week and remember to evaluate your boundaries, be clear and spend some time with this glorious Full Moon.  And if you celebrate Easter.  Have a hippity, hoppity time.  I am going to kayak, and play in my garden – so see you in two weeks.   Massive hugs.
