 quest tarot October. As the new season rolls in, many of us are going to want to be revamping our style and initiating a self-improvement project. Go for it! The two of Wands is here to help you be the absolutely unique One of a Kind creature that you are. This energy is all about owning it. Don't hide, but shine bright! For many of you truly being yourself will connect you in a positive way to other people who are part of your tribe. If that is what you're looking for then it's really important to be honestly who you are in order to find other people that are like-minded and like you. There's a really gentle compassionate energy floating around in October that is combining with your own specialness which helps you connect with others who appreciate you for who you are.... and you appreciate them for who they are. So take all advantage of social opportunities this month. It's likely you'll make new friends and some of you may even find love. 🧡 Compassion is the word on the street because a lot of people have really strong emotions right now and we need to still be able to connect respectfully even if we're coming from different places. 2 Wands x Queen of Cups  archeon tarot November. This November starts on a heavier note but breaks through to better Days in the second half of the month. Many of us are going to be having to come to terms with something from the past that either we've been avoiding or running from. This may be for good reason but there is a point where sometimes we need to just deal with it. We need to repay the debt, whether that's financial or relational, or both. It's going to be really important in November to delegate. If you feel in over your head or stretched too thin you need to ask for help. Because it is there. And as you move through the month we're going to be coming into this fiery Wand energy which really speaks to breaking through something to get to the other side. Interestingly, though some of you are dealing with the past, there are no tools from the past that are really going to be relevant. It's time to operate in a new way and bring in the new day. Don't freak out. This is all good stuff. This is all growth oriented stuff. Stagnation due to avoidance is out and transformation is in! Throw off that camo and let your freak flag fly! 10 of Wands x 9 of Wands  steampunk tarot December
Busy busy busy! Alot of us are going to be putting a lot of energy into keeping it together, people. The energy that December rolls in with is somewhat frenetic. Self care is healthcare. If you're doing a lot of things that you really want to be doing this can be a very dynamic time... but still could lead to burnout. If you're doing a lot of things you don't want to be doing it will definitely lead to burnout, so pre-plan some resting times for December. There is an undercurrent of some sort of inequality happening for some people right now. The question to be asking yourself if you're in some sort of relationship with someone that doesn't feel fair or has a wonky power structure is: are you the Beggar or the Giver. The position you really don't want to be in is when you're the one doing all the giving and then also begging for a little crumb from someone else. For most of us it's not that dire, it's just a discussion that needs to be had about how you're feeling and that should help clear things up. Honesty and direct communication will go far this month. On the flipside, makes sure you are being thankful and aware of ways you lucky in relationship. But because this energy is a six it really does lend itself to healing and revitalizing and balancing. With a little push, the course will correct and bright days are ahead. 2 of Pentacles x 6 of Pentacles

 JULY 2021 The key words as we move through July are clarity and safety. For many of us, we feel like we're finally emerging out of a dusky twighlight and into a sparkly light that is shining on our path. Maybe we can see a little bit farther than we've been able to in the last while. Oftentimes being able to see ahead of us lends us a sense of safety. There's a real optimism about the energy of July. We have gone through a lot and things are now starting to get better. It's really important to feel healthy emotionally in order to be productive. Especially if we want to be productive in an organic way. Our productivity needs to be a balance with the other parts of ourselves and our lives. And it looks like that's a possibility for this month. If we're talking about relationships, clarity and direct communication are going to be really important in July. Sharing inner truth will at least get people onto stronger footing and possibly resolution and cooperation. If things are going well in your relationship life than just a bask in the kiss of the sun ☀️ in the summertime! If you're single, this month is great for getting really clear on what the next relationship you want to bring in is going to look like. For some of you some well-earned cash should be on the way in the form of a raise, a promotion or a new gig. This is not a windfall... it is from your hard work. Mid month on the 23rd of July we have a fabulous full moon in Aquarius. This is going to work really well with that sun card energy in terms of seeing the importance of joy in life and not being tethered to tasks that we just have to do (and busy work.) Lady moon is going to be shouting loud 'all work and no play makes you very dull! ' And by the way, share the workload with others. sun+6 swords+3 stones  August 2021
August starts out with a very powerful energy calling for all of us to listen to our inner voice. Not only do we need to hear that as our primary advice giver this month, but we may not be able to help it. Some things that we've known to be true for a long time, but have been shelving for later, will not be ignored anymore.The first half of August is also a really good time to listen to your hunches and go with what feels right. Prioritizing your own personal truth over other 'truths' out there, will lead many of you to better, more enjoyable experiences this month. Did you know we have a beautiful full moon on August 22nd ? I am going to go out on a limb and say it's actually the best full moon for relationships this year! It's an Aquarius Moon and there's a lightness to it because the moon is rolling with Jupiter and there's just this joyful desire to connect with others and specifically with a special someone👩🏿❤️💋👩🏿. This moon should be wonderful for any relationship but especially for relationships that have recently gone through some bumps or challenges. This Moon, along with the six of wands, is great for those of you who are single!Get out there and reach out for interconnection and you're going to be noticed. It is time to be excited about your sexy future. If we combine all these energies so far, the star-card matrix is prompting us to trust in our own inner compass. Really embrace the feeling that things are getting better and this will put you on a trajectory to a bigger and brighter soul expression. We can always heal our bodies, our minds and the planet, but we have to start with hope and energy. Despair doesn't do a damn bit of good. 🕊️ There is one little blip at the end of the month. This is a situation that will show up for many of you. You're going to be asked to do one of three things with the problematic situation. Either you fully accept it, or you change it or you leave it behind. This could be anything. But many of you probably know what I'm talking about already. (The fourth option that you may fall into by default with this situation is you can't accept it and you can't change it and you aren't leaving it Listen, you don't want to stay stuck like that too long because it will just drain your energy. ) But otherwise outside of this pesky situation the rest of the month looks fabulous. high priestess + six of wands + five of swords  Susan Dumett: Energy Worker 🟎🟎🟎This is a post by special guest Susan Dumett
We are living in uncertain times, and let's face it, we humans have a really hard time living with uncertainty. Some of us are facing real survival-related challenges right now, and being in a state of not knowing can exacerbate the stress of things. Yet, it is also the not knowing that can lead us into deeper strength, attuned insight, inner safety, and ultimately greater certainty--in ourselves and even the greater all that is. As a survivor of more than a few challenging times and things that taxed my mind, energy and nervous system so much that I developed a non-epileptic seizure disorder, I know that the way in is the way out. Exploring the uncomfortableness of stress and uncertainty, releasing habits of avoidance, disrupting the cycle of negative feelings and thoughts before they spiraled together into negative 'what-if' scenarios and tending to my body, mind, and spirit via modalities like energy healing, hypnosis, guided meditation and spiritual practice saved my life. These practices radically changed my life, too. Instead of living days in intense fear and reactivity, I stepped into a realm of security and certainty within myself. My nervous system eased. My thoughts defaulted to inspiration instead of desolation and despair. And my sight--both inner and outer--became more attuned to balance and neutrality, seeing more of all that is, as it is, without attaching drama, meaning, or negative stories to everything. This isn't avoidance or donning rose-colored glasses, it is a true state and practice of presence and energetic tending that can be cultivated and held even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. In your owning your energy, your power and presence, you automatically step into a level of personal certainty and safeness within that is invaluable--and that you have a right to experience. Use these strange times to do that healing and empowerment work that your heart is calling you to do. Intense feelings and energies are a sign that something in your world needs attention. Choose to turn towards it, rather than away--with gentleness, curiosity, an intention of healing as if you were tending to a child or a respected elder. You are more powerful than you realize, and there are many resources online and people, (including me and Xtina), who can help. You are worth it and you (and all that you are) are needed in these times. Please reach out with questions,to sign up for upcoming events and classes online, or to schedule as session. With much love, Susan www.auroramindandenergy.com Some Silver Linings during this time of Crisis In the midst of all the scary news about this new sickness that has rushed through our lives unexpectedly,there are little nuggets of unexpected positive change. We have all caught a glimpse into a world that could be. Where the water is clear in the sky is blue and mother Earth gets a chance to breathe deeply.
I was deeply moved to see the beauty of the clear waters that are now in Venice, Italy because it's not being overrun by tourists and boat traffic. see here This is after only one week! You could actually see the bottom of the canals and the little fishes swimming. Around the world, where everything has slowed down, mother nature has started healing (Nasa pictures of China during the lockdown.) It just goes to show how resilient this planet is if we just give it some space and time to heal. Humans are so intelligent! We now have so many technologies, we could always have clear waters and blue skies. If we had the will we could do this very quickly. I am now going to be sending love and thankfulness to this beautiful planet in my morning meditations. My Hope is that just like the planet, we spend some of this (enforced) downtime rejuvenating as well. As I write this many of us are in quarantine and are now forced to spend a lot of time on our own. This is a great time to journal daydream and study. Are there some changes you would like to make in your life that you haven't had time to focus on? I know there are a lot of practical things to deal with right now, especially on the financially front for a lot of us. I am praying for us all. I guess we must do what we can. As the old addage goes: control what you can and release what you can't. But in the in-between spaces maybe you can hear a new voice, discover a hidden truth or open a door to a new vision. Please be kind to yourself and others. And get lots of rest if you can. Xtina  Page of Swords-Crow Tarot April Well, how appropriate that we start out this season with the Death card! I am not predicting any physical death here, because I am not God. But what this means is the way of life that we are used to has ended for the time being. This can feel scary. But it is temporary, as I have started these readings with death card energy and we progress away from it...not toward it.♥️ In fact, by June we end up with a beautiful Ace energy of rebirth. Because this card's energy is blending with the Page of Swords we need to make many decisions in new territory. This is a real 'nip it in the bud' energy! So please just make the best decisions you can with the information you have and know that things always eventually work themselves out. Make sure to take care of yourself physically and spiritually right now to surf this huge, crazy wave successfully. Do what you can to support yourself and try to surf what you can't control. If you are stuck at home, the energy of the Page of Swords means deciding to put energy into a new situation. This can be an interest, an art form or even a certificate of some sort. I can also mean working on a new relationship with yourself and your beautiful human-ness.♥️ Start where you are at, because wishing things were different can be draining. Look for the silver lining and hidden opportunities! death x page of swords  Six of Cups May We start out the month with an energy of swift movement! There is a sense of getting used to the changes from last month and adjusting to new systems, thoughts and routines. Many of you will start receiving what you have been waiting for...correspondence, money or answers! (This is especially true if you were pro-active about things last month.) Also, some of you may have reached out to a person from the past (or they reached out to you) and you are sharing meaningful connection.♥️ The Six of Cups is a lovely card. All Sixes in the tarot represent getting to a better place after challenging times and this is especially true with the Six of Cups. It's a very emotional and spiritual card and we should find solace in this! The Divine works in very mysterious ways and with the Six of Cups we can find the divine in everyday life. No matter where you're at right now, when you drink your morning tea or coffee sit with that pleasure. Enjoy a good conversation with a friend ♥️ and feel the warm sun on your face. That is very much the energy of the Six of Cups and this comforting energy is what comes in on the heels of all that movement at the beginning of the month. knight of swords x six of cups  The High Priestess - Illuminati June
June begins on an introspective note, when it is time to acknowledge and appreciate our inner power and self-knowledge. The High Priestess is one of the most powerful cards in the Tarot and she wants us to rely on our own inner world and intuition to guide us through life. No one (or nothing) can steal us away from ourselves. If we have been misguided by wrong information or charlatans, we can always call in our superpowers to find ourselves again. She wants us to know that healing is always possible and everyday really can be a new start, where we follow our own heart to our true calling. These readings end with the beautiful Ace of Swords, a card of great power and the potential for re-birth. But it calls in the need for decision making and being proactive. The Ace of Swords is often the transition period from the old path to the new and better path. It is full of hope and power and asks you to make your move! High Priestess x Ace of Swords
Remember the song 'The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius'? Well, it is no longer the 'dawning' because it actually arrives in 2020. This really is a start of a new era. We've been under the influence of an earth sign for almost 200 years and now we are switching over into the air sign , Aquarius. So what does moving into an air sign signify?
Leaving Earth energy behind means no longer getting our fuel from the earth such as fossil fuels and trees. Instead we'll be getting our energy from the air and renewable resources. We will stop getting most of our water from the ground and start harvesting it from the rain in the sky. It could very well mean the end of traditional capitalism and its emphasis on materialism and turning into a more 'experience' oriented Society. Air signs rule technology and communication. The overwhelming access to information and inability to hold back the sharing of information means that certain beliefs are going to be crumbling in the face of fact and other possible realities rather than ones's own. Centralized big utilities may also go to the Wayside as each individual person and building can harness its own Energy System and water from the sky. The other big transit in 2020 is the ' great conjunction'. Approximately every 20 years or so Saturn and Jupiter meet up for what is called the Great Conjunction or 'coming together'. This reunion signifies the end of one era and the beginning of another 20 year cycle. Think back to where you were in 1999 and 2000. What was started then, may be wrapping up now. For some of us we may have abandonded something and will be picking it back up in 2020. May this year bring you Joy and Hope! Please visit my youtube channel for readings for every sign for the new year.  2020 is the year of the metal rat. It starts on January 25th 2020.

Just remember that everything changes and that focusing on tomorrow and the future and seeing in your mind's eye how you want things to be, will get you moving in the right direction. If you don't like where you're at, whether it is from your own bad decisions or from some nasty blows dealt by the wild card of fate, you don't need to stay there. Everything changes and everything is temporary. So set your sights on the new day, visualize the best possible outcome and keep moving. Everything is going to be fine.

Give something (or someone) that has piqued your interest a try. This could turn into something long-lasting and huge, or it could just be an interesting experience. You won't know what it will turn out to be unless you jump right on in! Please don't let indecision steal the energy out of the situation. There may be some sort of risk involved but nothing amazing ever got done without taking a risk. Sometimes we got to rock the boat to unleash the divine! ace of wands March It's early spring and the days are getting longer. It is time to move out of hibernation (existential or literal!) and get ready for action. Start with some brainstorming. Use creative thinking to do some rearranging ...either in your life or in your kitchen! It is time to plan and do some stretching because pretty soon you're going to be asked to actually run. The energy of the Master Manifester is coming and you want to be ready. But right now something in your life needs to be rearranged. Solidified patterns in a relationship may need to be loosened or totally overthrown. Issues of prioritization regarding yourself and your self-worth may be coming up. Move things around in your Cosmic living room. Do some direct communication with your significant other (or anyone of importance). What Garden have you two planted? Have you watered it lately? Also you may need to do some self-imposed limitations in order to focus your energy. temperance x emperor One way I like to help move energy along when I'm feeling stagnant is by doing space clearing. Clearing your home energetically can help bring positive movement into other areas of your life. The ancient art / science of feng shui is based on this principle. Practitioners believe that balancing energy flow in your home brings Good Fortune into your life. Other belief systems also use space clearing in their their practices and rituals. So here are some tips to do this for yourself.
It's important to always start off with a good cleaning and de-cluttering. Make sure the area around your front door is especially free of junk and clothes. Make sure that the door can open all the way. This is where your opportunities come in. (I remember when I was back in college , anytime that I had to write a really big paper, part of the process of organizing my mind was to First clean and organize my space. I could not write when my house was dirty and cluttered. When the energy in my apartment was able to freely flow then I was able to move forward in my work. ) Salt is an excellent cleanser both physically and energetically. It's used a lot in clearing rituals. Some of the things you can do with salt to help absorb any stagnation or negative Energies are as follows:
You can use smoke to drive out unwanted energies. Generally I use Palo Santo or frankincense. Walk through each room imaging the smoke neutralizing anything negative and making space for fresh new energy. My friend, the folk magic practitioner and high priestess, Kook Teflon, recommends burning Dragon's Blood for driving out especially heavy and oppressive energies. She says when you're trying to get rid of energies you want to start at the back of your house with the windows and doors open. Then smudge each room in the house while moving towards the front door. When you get to the threshold, usher all the negativity out the front door. After performing a clearing ritual I think it's a great idea to invite some friends over and have a good time and fill your home with laughter! Good luck!  philosopher's stone tarot JULY
In July some of us may be navigating some heavy emotional waters, but don’t worry, because the existential weight will definitely be lifting in August and September! Often times this energy is due to taking on more than you can handle. For those of you who tend to take on responsibility (too)easily you need to sit down and analyze where your energy is going. You only have so much in a day. Are you sacrificing your own life energy to keep the peace in an unhealthy situation? Do you need to delegate? Sometimes this just means there is a lot going on for a short amount of time. Make sure when you’re having to endure pressure in life that you make time to take care of yourself. Some of this heavy energy has to do with the lunar eclipse in mid July in Capricorn. An eclipse is a really powerful transit that often times brings needed endings ...and new beginnings ;-). Also Mercury goes got retrograde on July 7 which sometimes creates some stagnation. Hang in there it all lightens up in a great way by the end of July. ten of wands / King of cups. August In August MOVEMENT replaces stagnation, and parties and celebrations are happening! All of us should make some space for joy and the fun of this summer month. Mercury starts moving forward again, and if you’ve been struggling with making progress toward a goal in July, get ready for the universe to kick some butt in August. Be prepared for SHIFT. Make sure you’re connecting with others and taking opportunities for co-mingling and partying! Celebrate life. Get out of your head and into your body. Go swimming, dance and make delicious food. For those of you looking for love, the Eight of Wands is sometimes called 'Cupids Arrows'. You may just be swept off your feet! But you got to get out there and connect with people! eight wands and four wands September Very pleasant vibes are going to be rolling into our lives in September. Many of us are going to feel content for the first time in a long time. There is no need to worry so much! Really set your heart on trusting that things will work out...and they will! Things usually do happen for a reason and we end up where we are supposed to be. If you have been struggling, let go and get to a place where you get to rest for a while. Look around your home. Clean it, look at magazines and get new ideas. We truly can make any space, no matter how small or imperfect, beautiful. Other people are going to be getting some really good news either in the mail or over the phone and they will share the joy and wealth with you. Expect special blessings! Some of you may have a soulmate walk into your life if you’re looking for love. There also seems to be indications, that for some of you, someone from the past wants to come back so make sure that whatever their agenda is... it it’s for your benefit. Having an agenda isn't necessarily bad, but remember that you are the target. Charming is a verb. six of cups/knight of cups, |
