And the day came when the wish to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin
What things do you get complimented on and shrug off because it comes so naturally? This is an important question when determining what your special gifts are.
What situations bring out your bliss?
Dreams are important because they speak the language of Soul. They are a compass, pointing you in the right direction, helping to correct your course when needed.
The language of the Soul is different than spoken word. Often it is symbolic, for example: the roof of a house = the roof of the body … the Mind. Learn this language, and you’ll advance much quicker than if you try to take the dreams literally.
Expect meetings and interviews. Now is the time for negotiations. Communications are positive. Many voices together are louder than one.
Fondness and affection fuel your passions and devotions. An enduring love may be born of this time. There is present a promise of love and commitment. A marriage may even develop, whether personal, or between various groups, corporations and other businesses.
Luck and happiness are on the horizon. Difficulties transform into opportunities. There is purity in the movement, all is well.

Here we have two pairs of winged ones. The owls, king and queen of the nighttime skies, and swans, graceful swimmers. The first of the air and the night, the second of the day and the water. These are pairs, partners, mates, in both realms.
Owl symbolism and meanings include wisdom, intuition, supernatural power, independent thinking, courage and protection and observant listening. Owls see what others do not.
Message of Owl: Withstand the mob mentality.
The meaning of swan is grace, beauty, love, trust, and loyalty. Swan symbolism is also linked to inner beauty and self love. A pair of swans represent soul mates for life.
Clover is a symbol of good luck, prosperity and inner strength.
“If you find an even ash or a four-leaved clover, rest assured you’ll see your true love ere the day is over”. This is a verse taken from an old magical charm from North England.
“So I wasn’t dreaming, after all,” she said to herself, “Unless – unless we’re all part of the same dream. Only I do hope it’s my dream, and not the Red King’s!”
When Alice plaintively wonders whether everything she is experiencing is part of a great dream … the same dream, shared by many beings … she wonders whose ream it is. Just like Alice, we ought to be concerned about whether we are living our own dreams, making our own mistakes, following our own hearts, or simply doing what others believe we ought … and thus making their mistakes, following what their hearts think is best for us and living their dreams.
Some people and some societies are very powerful. Our culture would like us to live a certain dream – to marry, to have a home, a good job, and then die peacefully. But that dream, the collective dream or the dream of our rulers may not be your dream.
Remember your own dreams and wishes, and set about making sure they are governing your choices.
Many people will encourage you to head in a certain direction and live in a particular way that nearly everyone will agree is ‘right’. But you have your own dream: a life in which you will live a little more adventurously and strangely than many others. It is time to break free of the collective dream and live within your own. Belong to only one dream, magickal soul – belong to your own.
Finding you have been following a plan and a path that is not truly your own. Deciding to take steps to live in a way that is authentic and truly your own. Rebelling. Wishing to live in your own world. No longer making decisions, staying with people or in jobs that are not part of your dream. Not being directed or governed by the desires and dreams of others. Deciding to make some big changes toward following the path that is your soul’s true dream for its evolution this lifetime.
I’ve been blessed with the rest of the week off … no more working for me during the final stages of 2021! I will spend this time in contemplation, relaxation, and self-care. I recognize all the beauty around me and am grateful. There is somuch to be grateful for.
I disengage from the drama of the media and government, the intentional programming of chaos … let them make noise, let them pound their fists … whatever they need to do, let them do it … I turn my back on it and do not take part in it. It does not exist for me in this now moment, I give it no energy.
I eliminate as many toxins from my diet and body as possible. I clean and clear my energy and work to raise the vibratory levels of my cells, enlivening my DNA, and thankfully, I receive upgrades as I prepare my bodies.
I consult with unseen guides, guardians and angels. My truest family. I connect with the Star Nation, respectfully, gratefully, so happy to experience this union. This is the relationship worth protecting.
The message is clear and stable, I give it my full attention.
Strength is gentle. True kindness has wings. Love in action endures.
Kindness grows within me. I will be gentle with myself. I focus on everlasting love; it gently flows into the world.
Something wonderful is happening. Change is in the air. Blessings are on their way.
Something wonderful is going to happen. I give thanks for change and have faith that life is about to get even better than I ever thought possible.
Take pride in yourself and all that you have become. Feel honored by your choices, achievements and actions.
I am a waking giant. I hear the call, rise up and take right action. I celebrate the eternal light that shines within me.
Be grateful for abundance. Live in appreciation for what you have, and more good things will come.
I am grateful for my bed, the roof over my head, running water, my clothes, my shoes, my friends, my country. I am thankful for the birds, the grass, the trees, the herbs and the flowers. I say thank you, thank you, and again thank you and my life blossoms and is filled with joy.
We are all becoming. Surrender to your changes. Release your fear. Trust this powerful process.
I remember the infinite rhythm of life. It is a circle of birth, death and rebirth. No fear. I embrace all that I am becoming and welcome change.
Mental balance Peace Past efforts bring present reward A cherished dream becomes reality New ideas and inner vision End of a cycle Struggle is over Looking forward to new experiences Inspiration, Faith, Hope A new and better life Transformation Things are being set right Powerful intuition around global issues Celebration A time of blessings Joy and togetherness A new Self emerges Stored and retained energy now released for healing and attainment of goals
When the White Queen makes her outrageous statement that jam is for tomorrow and for yesterday but never for today, Alice realizes that no one is ever going to get any jam!
Well, it is likely someone may be making promises that sound like there is plenty on offer, when in fact it is extremely unlikely they will ever deliver and come through with all the wonderful things they are attracting you with. Someone is claiming they can do a lot of good for you, but whether they are offering a pay raise, a good time or a commitment, it is never to be. The promise is never ever delivered or enjoyed today. They exist on promises of a better future and the memories of a wonderful past, but they will never make good on their promises when it most counts – and that is today. Fortunately, Alice is not at all attracted by the offerings of the White Queen. She literally does not want the jam, so she cannot be manipulated. But, those who do want the jam could be forever living in the hope that one day they’ll get the jam. The fact is, this will never, ever happen.
Listen to the person making you some rather wonderful promises or boasting about how much they can offer others. When will they deliver? Are they always talking about the past and planning for a wonderful future, but struggling in the present? If so, it is best to be like Alice and have no desire for the promises which will never be fulfilled.
Words are plentiful, but deeds are few. Thinking that the past and the future are better that the present. Being attracted by promises of good times and abundance that may never be kept. Boasting of plenty, but never enjoying it in the moment. Manipulation and withholding. Demand results in the present and work toward satisfying your desires yourself. Don’t buy what they are selling!
The field was large, grass covered the ground. I heard laughter, the laughter of children. I looked again and saw them dancing in circle, a very large circle … white children, brown children, blond children, brunette children.
The chief was Native. He was directing people where they need go. There was a woman who asked one young blond boy with thick sandy blond hair if he wanted to part the sea …. he said excitedly, mine? She said yes, and with a brush, she proceeded to comb his hair forward and then part it in the middle.
A woman with streaks in her hair was with a masculine, they were observing. She kept inching closer and closer to the crowd, stepping away from the masculine she was with.
There was a big pot with a sweet syrupy elixir. This woman stepped up and put her fingers into the spill of it, mesmerized. It looked as though she was leaving behind the old, which spied and tracked, to join with the laughing children and their caregivers.
The children are being freed. The rainbow tribe is being assembled.
You have earned the title Sage or Creative Genius. You are a visionary who has lived life fully and well, the artist at life itself. Your works will last long beyond your own physical life and thus are immortal. You are passing on the pipe now, handing down the wand. This may be in only one area of your life or all of them. You know.
It is an end time. But it is also a time when you reign supreme. Be wise. You will be asked to pass on. It is a good time to reflect, to be thankful, to make completions. Do not get caught up in the feeling of “dying”. There is no death that lasts. Your life conditions, the context in which you find your Self, simply change. Let go of your identification with the earlier parts of your journey. You are not the journey. You are not the past. You are not a has-been or a once-was. You are vital in the here and now. You are an Exemplar of the Pipes. You are a living example of that on which you spent your life energy. You will be given a new life where the long-term benefits of your work support you. Future generations will live with creations developed through your energy. You will be a child among them. The fulfillment of Self well-expressed becomes the art that inspires and guides the world. You will be born again in the future of your own creation.
Prayer :: The time ends for my active work in this area. Yet I shall live a long time to tell of all I know. Those who come to me for advice, I will inspire with my visions fulfillment. I have lived a brave life and passed the tests of time. I have brought forth all of the beauty within me on the path of my purpose. My art now guides the world toward right relationship to all that is. I am free now to take up a new path. But while I am here, I will lead with love and kindness. I will pass on what I know. Ancient ancestors, guide me on to the golden road so that I do not get lost in past glory. Keep me aware of new days to come. Make me a child again.
Son: “Dad, I think I’m old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?.”
Dad: “Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?”
Brief pause…
Son: “Yes, I want to know”
Dad: “Ok, I’ll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus”
Son: “Really?”
Dad: “Yes, really, but he’s not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That’s just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he’s not a person at all; he’s an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn’t thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.
“When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she’d never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that.”
Son: “Oh.”
Dad: “So now that you know, you’re part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?”
You want birds to be able to fly under water. You want love to trump power. You want humanity to relate to each other as equals and to recognize the sacredness in you and in the world around you. You want to unleash the beauty that hides in even the ugliest of scenes or sentiments. You want to make possible what others say cannot be. You are a radical dreamer, a sacred rebel, and you bring the light of a more positive future to this world.
However, this can have its burdens. Deep within you may feel that you don’t really fit in with the rest of the world. Perhaps your sense of how things can be and how they really are, is so different to the smaller minds or more fearful hearts of many others that you are rarely received for all that you offer. This might make you feel frustrated, thwarted or lonely at times.
The universe so loves you for your unusual take on things, for the quirkiness in you that dares to honor that which is different and renders the impossible, possible. You must never, ever lose your unusual ways and become dry, serious, appropriate and conventional – not even for appearance’s sake – for you would lose your essence. You are here to show what life is about so much more than conventional success.
You are someone who lives and breathes in the depths of creative waters. You need to lose yourself to the flow of music, nature, dreams, imagination and fantasy, through art and literature, meditation, dance and in sensual surrender to the sacred waters of the ocean, the river, the lake – or the bathtub!
You must go against the grain. It is just your way. You are not one of the followers but one of the agitators. However, yours is not a force of disrespectful chaos. You are a loving catalyst and by simply being yourself, you constantly remind people that there is always another way. You are meant to be exactly who you are. You are meant to be the black sheep, the rainbow sheep or even the wild wolf in the flock of sheep! The daring butterfly spirit calling to the caterpillars – that is you. The price you pay for the gift of individuality is that you must take care of it and guard it so that you are not dulled down and conditioned into playing at being something you are not.
If this has happened, or ids threatening to happen, this oracle brings you comfort. You will always dream of birds that can fly underwater. You know that the true nature of your being can never be changed – at most, it could only be hidden for a time. Now is the time to accept who you are and allow your truths to be fully expressed. Don’t worry about the effects of going against the grain. When we are who we are in truth, we attract the support, protection and energy that we need to thrive. Your power comes from aligning your outward self with your inner truth, not with the general consensus. You will then find other dreamers, other wild butterflies and atypically colored sheep to join you in conjuring better visions for our world.
Healing process :: Close your eyes and relax. Take seven deep breaths in and out as you bring your awareness into your body and the space that exists within your body.
When you are relaxed, imagine, sense or perceive a winding river of golden light that starts below your feet. Sense it gathering there as a pool of liquid golden energy. It has an intelligence of its own and it winds its way into beautiful patterns before you, flowing with grace and playfulness. This river of light symbolizes your life journey. Just notice it and enjoy it.
See that your life journey is unique. You may focus on your own river of life or expand your awareness to sense the rivers of light that represent the journeys of those around you. You may see, sense or feel that their paths are unique to them also. No-one has the exact same journey to take, even though we are all heading towards the one destination of absolute love.
Say the following aloud, “I honor myself. I honor the truth that I express through my very being. I accept the protection that I am offered so that I may go against the grain from a place of love and as an invitation for others to be open to life. So be it.”
When you are ready, simply open your eyes and sit quietly with your hand on your heart for a moment. You have completed your healing process.
You were not born to play a small role in life. You have the ability to dream big. Even if you have absolutely no idea about how your visions can come to pass or what all the details may look like, you can access the heart and guts of a vision by tapping into your wildest dreams and surrendering attachment to exactly how it will all work out. The details are up to the creative genius of the universe. You are an active, contributing participant but not the sole player in your life journey.
There is something – a vision or an idea – that is coming to you. You may worry that it is too much for you. But, don’t worry. It is meant to be yours. Although you might have some adjustments to make and some tweaking to do as you let go of your limited thinking and open up to a fearless acceptance of bigger, brighter, more radical and more potent possibilities of creatively living your light in the world.
A sign that you are cracking out of your limited thinking, to allow for a big, bold vision to come to you, is that you might feel a little dizzy with the shrinking limitations and expanding possibilities of life. You may wonder if you are allowed to access so much wonder! Remember that your healing and growing success as you manifest this big vision, you can touch the hearts of others through your presence, your inner work, your art and your choices. It is a win-win situation! Those that are meant to live big, bold and visionary lives need to give themselves permission to break the mold and forge newer, more expansive perspectives of what is possible, what is permitted and what is of service. It’s about letting go and opening up. Others will benefit from this. Even though it is your vision, it is not just about you!
Remember that when something is right for you, endless synchronicities and support will flow your way, at the right time and in the right way. Stay open, receptive, playful and surrendered.
You are about to receive or be invited to become part of, a grand visionary beginning. It has the makings of something fantastic. No matter how the journey that brings this vision into reality unfolds – and there will be some twists and turns that you don’t see coming – it is still helpful for you to be open to it. Trust your heart, be still with your choices and when the time feels right and truthful, leap!
If you are looking to further develop your intuitive insight, know that it is already happening. Trust in what you perceive. Even if it conflicts with what everyone else around you is saying or the surface of things, trust your inner perceptions. They are accurate and will be proven to be so later on.
Trust that things will be coming up roses for you. Even if everything seems to be in a bit of a shambles now, it’s really just the essential mess before a truly spectacular success.
Healing process :: Say, “I release all blocks to my vision. I release all beliefs – conscious or unconscious – stored in my body or mind that would have me belittle or minimize myself out of fear or ignorance. I choose to be bold, big and bright, to vision with my heart and receive all the genius of the universe in supporting that vision in coming to life. So be it.”
