Now is not the time to be the life of the party, nor to step forward into the role of leader or teacher. Be cautious. It may not be wise to draw attention to yourself or to reveal your plans to others at this time. Instead, be silent. Step back. Be still. Watch those around you and be mindful of what you see, hear and feel. Trust in your instincts and intuition and let them guide your steps.
Others will not respect the emotional boundaries that you set within your relationships if you do not respect them yourself. Know yourself. Love yourself. If you do not accord yourself with the same care you desire from others, then you will not be shown care. If you do not honor your own truths and dreams then nobody else will. Care for yourself by treating yourself with the same care, and in the same manner, that you wish others to treat you.
Have you been rushing along, living from one moment to the next without thought or care? Have you failed to notice and acknowledge all that you have achieved and accomplished? Stop. Take a moment to pause and reflect upon all that has happened and all that is happening. See how you have grown. See all you have succeeded in accomplishing. Acknowledge and delight in your journey and understand how it has played a part in creating the you who lives in the present.
Let the radiance of the sun inspire your inner radiance to shine forth. Release your concerns about what may happen in the future, and focus on appreciating everything you have that is good and right. Allow Father Sun to take away your worries and cares. Do something physically active to stimulate your inner light. Dance. Sing. But most important, get outdoors. Do not let any negative thoughts or habits stop you.
When you are in love with Life, you naturally radiate that love. During this part of your cycle, your capacity to love is greatly amplified. In one of those supreme ironies of Life, the more love you give, the more returns to you. It starts by allowing the radiant Being you truly are to be expressed into the world. Smile a little more. Notice the beauty of Nature. See the humor in the paradoxes of Life. Show your love, especially to those with whom you are closest. Then smile even more, and watch how the world around you lights up!
Your spiritual unfoldment is occurring at all times whether or not you are aware of it. It is inevitable as long as you put your trust in the hands of the Creator, the One who holds the Light. Like the lotus, your soul is always reaching for the light to fulfill its karmic destiny, even in that process there are periods of darkness and times to rest. It is a natural cycle, one that cannot truly be coerced or halted. It has an innate rhythm of its own, one that is unique to the Being that is you.
You do not need to strive or be driven by spiritual ambition. It does no good to try and force growth upon yourself – or others, for that matter. Allowing is the key here. Allow the place in you that naturally wants to follow the light to do so while recognizing that even when you have complete faith, you will face challenges and, occasionally, suffering. Your steady faith and love will guide you on your journey of returning to the light.
The lethargy you feel is the result of a lack of activation – in other words, something that stirs your senses. This could be anything from walking outdoors, feeling the breeze on your body, or inhaling the different aromas that Nature herself provides. Or it could be finding the pleasure in a warm bath that helps you release the tension and stress from your mind and body. Music may activate your hearing, which sparks the pleasure centers in your brain. Art may activate your emotional responses. The touch of another human may activate a deep need to be physically held in some manner once again.
Now is the time for action. Engage in some activity and be fully present so that you forget about your surroundings and enter into that timeless and multidimensional experience of Union with the focus of your creative attention. Let your physical body be active. Movement alone – whether quietly dancing by yourself or hiking up that hill over yonder – will require you to be as present as possible in your body. Enjoy!
Now is the time to let anything in your life fall away that is no longer useful or needed for the emerging expression of who you are. Allow yourself to gradually shed what has become burdensome and no longer congruent with your souls purpose. Conserve your energy by allowing yourself more rest while at the same time making preparations for the winter season. Look especially at your material possessions and be brutally honest with yourself as you discern which of these can be given away or somehow released.
Consider shedding relationships that have served their purpose and are no longer viable, as well as work or a job that has become devoid of interest and passion. With release comes a sense of being much lighter, just like the trees that openly bear their nakedness once their leaves have departed and give room for whatever new Life is ready to birth following a period of quiet and gestation. So let go of whatever has outlived its purposefulness and trust that something else will take its place.
It makes no sense to deny the strength you have at the cost of allowing yourself to be reactive and subject to external influences far beyond what is healthy for you. Imagine yourself as a mountain of strength, solidly grounded in the Earth, your head held high as if you were touching the sky. Do so without straining, just as the mountain itself does not strain.
The current situation calls for you to be vigilant, but not to the point of fear or paranoia. Be that rock of strength that you are capable of becoming. The solidness of your resolve will be clearly communicated when you model yourself after the towering immensity of a mountain, impenetrable and inscrutable. Standing steady like a rock is what is called for at this time.

Giving something a try is not making a lifelong obligation. You can switch, swap, and refine your interests, friends, lovers, career, plans, home as often as you like. If something doesn’t fit right, try something new, and if that doesn’t work out, try something else. What you are looking for could be around the next corner. There is no failure in moving on or starting over.
Listen. Your heart is calling. A thirsty heart cannot be quenched by logic; it must drink from the well of life and be replenished. Each time it breaks, it comes to hold more, but it’s essence does not change. Your heart holds your truth in every breath. What does it say? Listen, and you shall be reborn.
Avoid comparison. It’s neither too soon nor too late to claim your life for yourself. There is no right way to live your life. There is no wrong way or set pace to follow your path. Be wary of false markers. It is not always time to harvest. Without periods of rest, planning and nurture, there may be no harvest.
Like invisible wheels, the seasons of life move through an eternal cycle of death and rebirth. What appears to begin, rise, fall away and end is but a small part in an endless journey without any clear start or climax. In the bright stillness of the divine mind, every journey flows through love. This is your journey, your time, your season. Shine!
All energy can be harnessed and used in myriad of ways. Just as elite athletes learn to use nervous energy to better their performance, it is up to you to draw energy stored in a negative experience to fuel your motivation, determination or creativity. Use whatever life sends you to your advantage. You can sit on the potential within you, or you can release it. It is your choice. This is not a matter of circumstance, ability or worthiness. Convert a possibility into a reality.
Through grace and love, we continue to transform. Nothing we do is lost or forgotten. As we release our hidden potentials, we create our destiny. One day we shall become stars. Through this process, many future Earths shall be born where we can live as one in the arms of the Divine Mother. The ground you walk on, the rain that falls, her love is stored in everything.
Insight: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It cannot appear from nowhere, nor can it disappear. All objects contain stored energy. This energy is measured in terms of its capacity or potential. Coal has the capacity to create heat. A stationary rock could roll downhill at a certain speed for a certain distance. The energy in running water has the potential to charge batteries. The potential is there, but the stored energy may sit dormant for millennia without ever being converted or utilized. This energy is neither negative or positive, but it can be used in any number of ways. Electricity can be used to hurt or return someone to life. There is potential in everything … in your memories, your hopes, your doubts, your strengths. How you use them is up to you.
It is time for a fresh start. One cycle ends; and a new one begins. Rejoice: a new you emerges! You are blossoming.
Goddess Eostre,
You of the spring and the light,
I ask for a fresh start,
A new beginning, to take flight.
It’s time to think big. You are a star in your own right. There are unlimited possibilities. It is fine not to know every detail before proceeding. Mystery is a natural part of life.
You have power, and it is real. A secret will be revealed. You have an unexpected ally. Seek the truth. Try some magic!
Your dreams are a powerful tool for increasing self-awareness for they contain within them the unfiltered truth. Whether it be a dream or a nightmare, they are the keys to understanding your inner self – both your joys and your fears. Commune with Gaia and Great Spirit in the stillness of your slumber; learn to read and interpret your dreams. Listen to what they tell you. Pay close attention to how they make you feel. Heed what they reveal and learn who you are and who you wish to be.
You will not achieve the outcome you desire if you are unwilling to act upon your intentions. It is not as simple as wanting something to happen, or believing that it will happen. You have to make it happen, and to make it happen requires that you be willing and ready to do whatever is necessary no matter the sacrifice. For everything you desire, you must give of yourself in return.
Within ourselves there are two aspects to our nature – the feminine and the masculine. Here in the present, you need to embrace the feminine aspect of your nature and let it guide your steps. Now is a time to be nurturing, creative and to connect with nature, home and heart. Listen to your intuition and emotions. Be receptive and compassionate. But remember, whilst you allow your feminine self to be dominant, you need to temper your gentleness with a fire that denies all meekness.
You are a spiritual being, living a physical life. Embrace spirit in your journey and reaffirm your connection with the Divine. Fly to the heavens, but remember to look down and see that the Divine exists in the magical, natural world beneath you. Spirit dwells within all – in everything you see and know, and everything that you do not see and which is unknown. Both creative and destructive, the beautiful and the ugly, are born of the Divine.
We all experience moments in our lives when we feel confused, unfocused and surrounded by chaos and turmoil. These moments are often unavoidable, as are the lessons these moments can impart. But how you respond to them is a choice only you can make. Take a deep breath and a moment to pause and reconnect with Gaia and nature. Seek the silence of the void within whilst your spirit spirals downward to anchor itself like an ancient tree root in the cleansing embrace of the earth beneath you.
Life will present you with many trials. Life will bring you times of joy, but also times of suffering; like the weather, it can be unpredictable, harsh and cruel. But you can endure all that comes. Know when to resist, and know when to let go. Know that sometimes you will lose, but loss can make you stronger at the core. Stay strong. With hope and faith, you can endure all.
You were blessed with the ability to create with thought, intention and emotion. Be conscious of your power and aware of what your actions and reactions create within and around you. Cherish this gift and use it in both a wise and productive manner. Create beauty, and inspire a desire within others to do the same. Create a future that both fulfills and delights. Do what you were born to do.
You have a place. You have a purpose. You are special. Do not change who you are just so others might accept you. Do not dishonor your truths by allowing someone else to tell you who you must be. Change made just so you fit the expectations or social criteria of a clique or group does not honor you. You do not need to change in order to belong. You are a blessed child of Gaia and Great Spirit and belong, simply because you are.
You have been hurt, disrespected or disappointed by others. Another has let you down or betrayed you. It is normal and natural to experience feelings of anger, hurt and disappointment. To feel any and all emotion is natural, but you have a choice always in how you respond. Do not allow your hurt to become a source of infection. Acknowledge it. Learn from it and your experiences, and then let the anger, hurt and disappointment go. Do not allow them to inspire retaliatory acts born of malice or spite.
You have fears both big and small. Some fear is felt for good reason; it serves to remind you to be cautious and not to take foolish and dangerous risks. Other fears you feel are but shadows that you have made real and given substance. They serve only to make you doubt yourself, to question your good judgement, to fear success, to restrict and to limit. Look within. Know your fears. Shine a light upon them and see them for the shadows and mist that they are.
The earth upon which you dwell is more that just a rock covered in water, stone and dirt. The earth beneath your feet, the mountains, the forests, the rivers, lakes, oceans, and the air that you breathe are all part of the magical living entity that is Gaia. She is our eternal mother, our provider, and our home. Gaia gives us life. Without her, we would not be. Honor Gaia by seeing the truth of what she is. Honor Gaia by loving her as you love yourself.
Share yourself with the one that you love. Be their best friend and let them be yours. Let your trust in each other be unshakeable, and your love be strengthened by knowing and accepting each other’ flaws and weaknesses, and still loving each other despite them. Give yourself completely, trusting that you will not lose your independence or sense of self, but instead become two halves of a stronger, loving whole.
In this reading, you can read just the italicized portions for a more earthy meaning, or the non-italic portion for a more spiritual meaning. Read both together for a grand picture.
Know what you want and do what works. Refine your abilities. Transfer a skill set from one environment to another. Do not underplay what you are capable of. Give up the idea that you must be good at everything. Narrow your interests and build on your existing strengths to conserve output and increase your value. A creative response to change will see you flourish.
There is a higher purpose to everything, but currently it is not clear. Something in your life is changing, and it is unsettling. Soon, the pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place, and you will begin to find meaning in it. For now, trust in the refinement process, hone your ability for love and develop your capacity for compassion. As taints fall away, the truth becomes clearer.
A feeling that history is repeating. The pattens in your past – in your childhood, in your relationships, in your career – are escapable. Stop and learn the lesson so you can move forward. There is no need to mindlessly (endlessly) hit repeat. Look outside of what you know and break a cycle. Someone, perhaps the universe, is trying to tell you something. A unique response to a repeat problem is needed.
From the flawless patterns of your spirit, a great light shines upon the world. You are a leader, a healer, an inspiration, a free spirit … unrestricted by traditional thinking. A desire to be all you can be, and a vision for positive transformation, draws you into deep exploration and clarity. Break free, reshape your destiny and follow the spiraling, intertwining pathways of peace, love and wisdom.
You are you, in your own right, not as a reflection of circumstance, expectation or assumption. Define and trust yourself. A clear and simple answer betrays the true complexity of an issue. Resist the temptation to take someone or something at face value. A pattern of behavior reveals more than a single gesture. Go deeper, broader and higher to get a fuller perspective.
From the calm, neutral perspective of love, and free from the fear, guilt and judgement of this your higher self looks through the conflict and drama of the physical world and sees hidden meaning and purpose. From a distance, present chaos looks perfectly ordered. Seek greater awareness. Tune into the depths of your heart to find heavenly peace.
Find yourself by losing yourself in a conversation, a story or someone’s eyes. Be vulnerable, be emotional and be moved to deeper understanding. Empathy is required. Let the pain, suffering, love and joy of others find a home in your heart. Accepting another without reservation means accepting yourself, as well.
Focus on the subtle divine force inside you. Recognize this force in all things, for it is in all things and it is everywhere. Separation from the energy, beauty, grace and power of the Divine Mother is an illusion. Feel her fertility and everlasting peace inside you. Through her love, life unfolds with endless blessings. Through you, her love flows out upon the world.
A past or hidden event influences a current situation. Trust issues due to secrecy or deception. A childhood ordeal is brought into the light. Reflect on and draw your own meaning from it. Hold your broken self (or another) in a loving orbit until it is strong and beautiful once more. There are parts of yourself you are yet to realize. Take your time getting to know someone.
Beyond your thoughts there is the mirror of infinity. It is a clear space through which you will see your true reflection. Here you can see your whole self – your shadows and your light. See that you are beautiful. You have nothing to prove, nothing to hide; you are blessed and held in the loving field of the Divine Mother.
Sudden clarity amid adversity. Acute awareness of yourself and your circumstances. Finding unexpected strength and wisdom in a crisis. Realizing the limits of a situation … pressure cannot make diamonds from coal. Challenging a misconception or calling out a false promise. Isolate and develop an idea, talent or goal to excellence, without external influence. Trusting you will have what it takes when it matters.
All soon clears, heals and is resolved. Peace ascends within you like a glorious bud opening to the surface. Realization comes in a dazzling flash, and you will see the world and your soul as blessed as they truly are. Follow love to the peaceful space inside your heart, your power center, from which all is possible and all is available.
It is time to release an old belief or bad habit. Imbalances of all kinds will fall away. Your pain will soon ease.
Ix Chel, I call your name. Woman of the jaguar, dark as night, help me with release.
Recognize your own unique beauty. Stop comparing yourself to others. Real beauty is apparent in all cultures and in all ages. Beauty should not be used as a weapon.
I call upon the energies of beauty! I ask that the goddess charge me with the same spark of awakening and vitality that races through the earth right now. I ask for special help from Helen of Sparta, who embodied mortal beauty. I remove all obstacles in the way of me being filled with beauty, inside and out.
You are loved and protected even through the most difficult of trials. This is a time for healing. You need mothering or to use your mothering energy. Magic is happening!
Mother Isis, daughter of the infinite Nuit, daughter of the earth-rich Geb, wife of Osiris, whom you healed and gave life to, stretch your wings around me! I ask for your protection. I am not afraid. You are with me, Goddess. As you watch above all, as you nourish your children, I humbly as for your love and protection.
Establish a solid home base. Protection is necessary or granted for your space. Keep the home fires burning. You may be moving soon.
I call upon Vesta, Vesta of Rome! I call your blessed name, She of the sacred flame, She of the center of the earth, She who protects all around the holy hearth, I call upon thee.
Allow what you no longer need to be destroyed or reduced. Build your emotional authenticity. You are protected when expressing your true emotions in appropriate ways.
Great lion goddess, Sekhmet, your breath like fire, your eyes golden in the sun, I am grateful for your attention, great one.
It is time to overcome your fears. You are protected as you clear the negatives within your shadow side. Do not be afraid of transition. Express your fears safely.
Great mother, Kali, I call upon you to help me to reduce and destroy my fears. You who kill demons. You who are fearless! Bless me and protect me.
Financial aspects come to the fore. Your prosperity will improve. You can be physically and spiritually rich. Ethics are necessary for real success.
Great goddess Lakshmi, you who take joy in wealth and abundance, hear my prayer. Light the way for better prosperity, both spiritual and monetary.
Change is welcome. Allow the storm to pass, as it is necessary to clear the way. You are protected in your search for equality. Do not misuse your power.
Great goddess Oya, Mistress of the Storms, swirl and blow and tear into my life. Remove what is not serving me, sever it like a knife. Great goddess Oya, Mistress of Change, tornado burning bright, grant me what I need. Blow this my way tonight.
Do not give up; there is hope yet. A wish will be granted. A birth is imminent. Fertility is everywhere.
Silvery goddess of the sea, moon blessed. Goddess of women and wishes, please hear my voice. Yemaya, I ask you to grant my wish(es) and help me flow like the incoming tide toward my highest good.
You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.
Daughter of the Hare, Queen of the Inceni, Boudicca, hear my call! I call you to join with me. I have a battle to win. I know you will show me my strength and my will. Unite with me Boudicca. Allow me to ride on your chariot as I move forward in trust and power.

Put yourself forward. Stand in the sun. Reach out. Stretch yourself little by little, grow strong and LIVE!
In a fleeting moment of grace, in the space between your thoughts, you glimpse a silent bliss that is beyond words or description. This all-encompassing love is your soulful, spiritual center. It is without beginning or end. Reach for it, and this state of grace shall be a guiding light in this world and beyond. It is life … it is eternal.
You are you, in your own right, not as a reflection of circumstance, expectation or assumption. Define and trust yourself. A clear and simple answer betrays the true complexity of an issue.

Know what you want and do what works. Refine your abilities. Transfer a skill set from one environment to another. Do not underplay what you are capable of.

For now, trust in the refinement process, hone your ability for love and develop your capacity for compassion. As taints fall away, the truth becomes clearer.
Give yourself or someone else the space to heal, think, create or contemplate. Hold space as a gentle, non-judgmental and supportive presence. Nothing needs to happen instantly. Pull back, trust and respect the boundaries and processes of others. Pushing for a result will not get you what you want in the long term. Choose your destiny, and let others choose theirs.
Across space and time, multidimensional world’s exist beyond human concepts of love, hate, right and wrong. Bliss, creativity and infinite peace are tucked away in the hidden dimensions of our souls where all is possible and all are welcome. Childlike innocence, curiosity and a little dreaming are all it takes to reach these worlds. Close your eyes and be there.
Confront your ideas about a situation, a relationship or yourself. Poke, dare and test your expectations. If it is real, it will remain. Be honest, reflective and determine if an accepted truth is truly serving you and those you care about. Consenting to things turning out okay, is settling for less. Expect more for yourself and your circle. Let go of what you know to make way for wisdom.
Inspiration breaks through expectation like a lightning bolt. It awakens inside you, shatters doubt and fills your life with creative energy. Every day you are the creator of a new world – be the creator of a fairer, more inspiring and positive one. Shift perception, raise expectation and burst into a new horizon. Hope anticipates better days ahead. Happiness makes better days, today.
It is up to you to acknowledge an obstacle as impermanent. Regardless of who is to blame, it is your responsibility to defy a false limitation. A quirk or idiosyncrasy is a strength: bring it out and own it. Individuality is a precious gem. Throw your woes into the smelting pot and craft them into powerful tools. Experiment with what you have and give it value.
Life is a perpetual movement, and yet, life is also still. Life is change, and yet, it is also unchanging. You are part of this moving stillness, changing and unchanging through time and eternity. Something is moving within a still part of you, and yet, something is still within the moving part of you. Meditate on this. Feel complete oneness in your being.
**Reading from the Sacred Earth Oracle created by Toni Carmine Salerno & Leela J. Williams
Shallow compliments or an aversion to meaningful dialogue is a red flag.
You are the rise and fall of a wave in the cosmic ocean. Never to be repeated, unable to be grasped, yet infinite, eternal and omnipresent.
An occasional show of kindness does not make someone kind. Love is dependable. Be someone you can count on.
Trust that you will have what it takes when it matters.
All soon clears, heals and is resolved. Peace ascends within you like a glorious bud opening to the surface. Realization comes in a dazzling flash, and you will see the world and your soul as blessed as they truly are. Follow love to the peaceful space inside your heart, your power center, from which all is possible and all is available.
Put yourself forward. Stand in the sun. Grab an opportunity and run with it. Reach beyond the shade, out of the comfort of darkness, and step into life. Holding yourself back is counterintuitive. Doubt, fear, anxiety and grief may be part of your journey, but don’t let them be the journey. Reach out. Stretch yourself little by little, grow strong and LIVE!
In a fleeting moment of grace, in the space between your thoughts, you glimpse a silent bliss that is beyond words or description. This all-encompassing love is your soulful, spiritual center. It is without beginning or end. Reach for it, and this state of grace shall be a guiding light in this world and beyond. It is life … it is eternal.
History may feel like it is repeating itself, there’s a chance to do things differently and, perhaps, secure a better outcome. Release stress, tension or anger before it builds into a storm. Establish a positive routine.
We got campfire songs in mason jars Love lost ones tattooed on our arms Vitamin D and elbow grease on tap That what we got to bring Yeah that’s what we got to bring
And we climb the trees to see the stars Cuz the city can’t keep them from being ours Gotta get a gulp of the light before we sleep Cuz that’s what we have to do Yeah that’s what we have to do
Yeah we do we do we do Yeah we do we do we do
We got broken hearts up to our knees Shame and guilt stuck in our teeth And the fear of people dying knockin at our door But that’s what we leave behind Yeah that’s what we leave behind
We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows. We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows. We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows We put our troubles on the moth’s wings. We open the windows
We must remember the boundary between our unbridled passions and the Higher Self.
A ring of flames rises up, with the power to protect the rich ruby of the mind.
You’re emotionally steady and not following your passions headlong into lustful entanglements. You have the ability to steer your passions in an artful and creative way without consuming others in your fire.
Guardian King of the North: His time is midnight, and the element he guards is air. He is seen holding a mongoose, which is spitting jewels in his left hand, and a hammer of victory over the most deadly emotions in his right hand.
The highest wisdom is often the simplest.
A golden celestial dragon is flying through space, holding jewels of the other four elements, which it protects.
Ground yourself in human reality, measure your life’s actions, and realize who and where you are. Enlightenment happens in stages.
Wisdom from the higher realms will make you appreciate and share the riches of the Earth.
A reclining yellow-green dragon protects the yellow precious stones of the Earth that lie among mountains and hills.
You’re looking in the right place for wisdom and spiritual riches. You’re generous because you think of others and their needs. You have an abundance of energy and the wisdom to use it wisely.
You have a boundary between the darker stormy levels of consciousness and the clear state of mind. Stay clear.
A ring of shimmering water washes around a deep blue sapphire, a facet of the enlightened mind.
This is a reminder that you must stay calm in the face of irritation, wash away the stains of upset, and stay on course through the storms of life.
