Happy, happy, Miraculous, Magickal, Merry, Moody, Manifesting May Monday!
Thanks for all the emails saying “Jenn, why wasn’t there a reading last week?”
There wasn’t a reading as that weekend was a long weekend here in Canada, and it was filled with celebrations!
On Saturday, I had the honour, privilege and delight of officiating a wedding ceremony with an amazing couple that I had been working with for 4 months co-creating a wedding ceremony that really reflected who they were, and what was important to them. We had the ocean behind us, the trees around us, the friends and family gathered, wild flowers galore and the weather was stupendous.
Then on Sunday I hosted an amazing English Country Garden picnic in a meadow filled with wildflowers to celebrate the mothership’s 94th birthday! There were tea sandwiches galore, china cups, a glorious cake, song and family and friends.
So it was a full on weekend to say the least, doing what I love – which is facilitating meaningful moments and marking occassions with ritual!
However, here we are with the last Monday of May happening. Mercury retrograde is almost finished, we are closing the eclipse portal and Summer Solstice is coming!
I love Summer Solstice as it’s filled with power, passion, fire energy and one of the 3 spirit nights where the Fae come out to play. I’m just finishing up the amazing Summer Solstice guide, which will be available next week, along with a glorious guided visualisation.
Yet, I’m playing with the name.
What do you think she should be called? I’m open to suggestions.
So as we put May to bed (and I know for a lot of you it has been a long and challenging month), what with Mercury retrograde, Pluto retrograde, the world being chaotic and eclipse season – we end it with a New Moon in Gemini today! (May 30th).
Don’t panic – this is a very gentle new moon that has some different invitations for you.
As Forever shares – “So today, May 30, 2022, the Gemini New Moon closes the Eclipse Portal, bringing an end to Eclipse Season.
Eclipse season is always a highly transformative time. Whatever manifested, Eclipses always put us where we need to be – even if it doesn’t quite feel like it at first!
While this fresh energy from the Gemini New Moon will be welcomed, there is some mentally foggy energy stirring at this time, cautioning us to move slowly and be patient. While we may feel some ease as we settle on new ground, the Universe is asking us to take it easy.
Being a Gemini New Moon, Gemini is represented by the twins. One twin is mortal, and the other is immortal, reminding us of these two sides of our being.
We all have a body, and we all have a soul, and it is often when they are working together that we feel our best.
Bringing harmony to our body and soul is an energy current that this Gemini New Moon can help us with.
If you want to bring more harmony between these two sides of your being, write down what your human side feels and what your soul side feels, and then set an intention to bring healing and unison to both of these sides. Trust that the Universe will help you build a bridge that both your human and soul side can walk towards.”
After the heavy energies of Eclipse Season, the Gemini New Moon will feel much quieter and should bring a softening.
While this New Moon won’t bring total clarity, it does remind us to be patient, to move slowly, and to focus on the gentler and more subtle aspects of our healing journey.
If life is still feeling hectic after the Eclipse transformations, know that this New Moon brings a reminder that it is ok to take your time to process, digest, and reflect. After all, we still have Mercury retrograde until June 3rd.
It’s time for some extra self-care under this New Moon which could involve embracing herbal remedies and teas. Sip on some chamomile, spray your pillow with lavender, and just keep things gentle, quiet, and soft.
You can cleanse your home with citrus fragrances. Detox the stale energy from your dwelling with citrus (the essence of Mercury). Not only will it refresh your home, but it’ll boost your personal vibration as well.
The best activity to do during this lunation is nothing. A lovely gentle ritual for this time is the Moon Bowl. Set your New Moon wishes, be gentle with yourself and find your calm centre.
Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading. The cards that wiggled and jiggled to guide this week are the glorious Sacred Destiny Oracle, guides.
So in case you have never met them, let me introduce you – and if you have met them before, let me reintroduce you (as not to do so is rude!). “You have a sacred destiny; we all do. There is a powerful and profound reason that you are here on the planet. However, sometimes it may be difficult to understand what that reason is and perceive what is required on your journey into the future. It may be a challenge to know what the next step in life should be. This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul. In ancient traditions, shamans, medicine women, witches, visionaries, and prophets all accessed hallowed knowledge by observing their natural environment. These wise beings stepped through mystic gateways into inner realms to bring back meaning to the seemingly random event of life. “
Note the line – This is the time to call upon the energy of nature and majesty of the natural world to provide answers to the heartfelt yearnings of your soul.
Perfect guides for this time, as nature nurtures and heals and holds us with love and compassion.
So darling one, take a moment. Let the shoulders drop, let the jaw relax and just gently close your eyes and breath. And I mean breath, in through the nose, open up the belly and out through the mouth with a sigh. Imagine nature holding you, supporting you, delighting you. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that whisper.
If you would like to go a bit deeper, come into the magickal garden with me.
Did you remember to pick?
Let’s go have a look shall we?
WONDERS
Quartz
Natural rock crystals – clear, amethyst, citrine, rose, and smoky – were revered in ancient times. The Aborigines of Australia called it maban, which was the material through which their shamans and elders gained their magical powers.
The Egyptians believed quartz had mystical healing abilities and would bury their dead with a piece of crystal on their forehead.
The Greeks and Romans believed crystals were solid ice that had been formed by the gods and thus had mystical powers. Even to the present day, people believe that crystals can help manifest their intentions.
Perhaps that is because of the piezoelectric qualities of quartz – the reason why quartz can amplify radio signals.
Like the wondrous crystals – just around the corner, exciting possibilities are waiting for you.
Wonders will be abounding in your life! Sometimes they won’t be apparent at first; nevertheless, they are there. The more you see them and embrace them, the more these possibilities will grow in magnitude.
Celebrate and cherish even the smaller ones, no matter how tiny they may seem. Let go of expectations. Don’t limit the way that you think that wondrous events could appear in your life. Be open.
If you believe, anything and everything is possible.
SUCCESS
The Jungle
Tropical jungles are some of the richest and most successful habitats on our planet. They have incredible diversity – a multitude of plant varieties and animal inhabitants.
They are dense with life-force that is rapidly growing and rapidly changing. The lushness of their vegetation is essential to the ecological health of the earth.
In many ways, the success of the planet depends on the rain forest. These areas are called the “lungs of the planet”. The plants absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and help reduce the impact of worldwide climate change.
What does this mean for you?
Like the rich jungle teeming with wonders, miracles and life – satisfaction, contentment, and fulfilment are at hand. Success is waiting to expand in your life. Be ready to accept and embrace this success, for it might occur rapidly.
All is possible.
The gates of triumph are waiting to open. Being in a state of gratitude for all the small successes in your life will give birth to larger ones. Your satisfaction will come in many forms and from many areas of life.
Celebrate it all and breathe it all in, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.
This is an excellent time to make commitments, sign contracts, and make deals.
Good fortune will ensue.
TRUTH
Song of the Wind
Wind is the realm of the air elements, one of the four elements of life (air, water, fire, and earth).
Air takes form in the oxygen we breathe as well as in breezes and zephyrs.
It also represents our communication skills. When we speak, it is the air that passes through our mouths that allows us to speak and communicate.
Wind is also prana, the source of life. As you communicate your truth to yourself and others, you’ll find new energy and vitality emerging within your life.
The wind is asking you to be honest with yourself and speak from your heart.
Find your truth. Listen for what is sincere and honest in others.
One of the most difficult things to know is what’s true for you and what isn’t.
Sometimes it takes sincere silence to find your inner voice of truth, but once you find it, let go of anything in your life that isn’t authentic.
Share your truth with others. Release relationships in which you can’t be yourself and can’t be real.
Being genuine, aligned and authentic can allow your spirit to fly and the song of your soul to be heard in the Universe.
Beautiful! So gorgeous, lovely, may your week be blessed, may you be gentle with yourself and practice self care. Keep your eyes peeled for the amazing Summer Solstice guide (name suggestions welcome), and there may be a glorious Summer Solstice reading special coming up – we are perking it. Big blessings and massive hugs.
