Hi there – ok so time for some Wednesday Wisdom again. To be honest, I was a little nervous this week. The last few weeks have been quite intense, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cards that came out today. Still a no-nonsense message, but with an indication that things are improving and moving on again – as the saying goes, this too will pass … and so it does. Anyway, on with the reading!! As usual, the summary up first, followed by the in-depth discussion around each card.
In summary: Generally a positive reading and forecast for this week, with a few reminders of things we have discussed recently.
The world has come through a very scary and “panic-stricken” time, with much misinformation and “darkness”. But as we should know by now, it is the darkness we grow, toward the light, until we enter the darkness again to heal, grow, and move outward again. Much like our bodies breathe in and out so the world proceeds on its cycle of expansion and contraction.
We are reminded this week to find joy in the simple things like childlike joy, simple natural beauty, and the importance of a support structure. For some this may be a traditional family, for other a “found family” of people that support you. If this is not something you have, maybe a reminder to get out there and find it. No man is an island they, and this is true. It is fine and dandy to be independent, but there will come a time when you need the support and strength of others.
To reach toward the light so to speak. Now I am not talking about light in terms of “right” and “wrong”, “good” and “evil”, but the light of clear vision and awareness. While life is sparked in the darkness, it grows toward the light, towards awareness, knowledge and wisdom. Seeing things as they are, not as we fantasise them to be, or wish they could be.
As we leave behind the judgement and “crosses” we bear, we take off, but only if we allow ourselves to. Stop overthinking and analysing every move. There is no decision that you can make that will leave you unchanged.
Remember your experience is all about choice. You may not necessarily, consciously choose a situation to happen, but you can choose how you respond to it, how you process it, and how much baggage you carry. Have the courage to love easily, forgive quickly and embrace the joy of life.
It is not up to you to control everyone and everything around you, in fact, you cannot do it at all, you can only waste your time and creative energy on an impossible task that will never be complete or successful. Your reputation is not your concern, how people perceive you is not your job. Your job is to be the most honest and truthful representative of your truth as possible, understanding that, as that truth grows, shifts and changes, so will you. The people around you will change, everything changes until the day you die – accept it, release it and move forward.
Nurture the seeds of truth and relationships, trust in the world and people, even if you have been let down in the past. If you have or had someone that hurt you, forgive them, and work out what it is that you did, decided agreed to that didn’t match your truth, release it and make changes – you have produced unexpected results, we all have. That doesn’t mean that every relationship will be a failure until you are perfect.
I heard a beautiful quote the other day – “I am not looking for someone without baggage, I am looking for someone who’s baggage matches mine”.
Nurture and love yourself, express that truth, and the world will shift and move to match it. You may need to let go of things, but that will help you fly higher.
Have a blessed week – hug someone – it will make you both feel better!!
Card by card explanation
The Quantum Oracle: Family
It is very easy to allow all the trials and tribulations of life to overtake the joy of life. This week we are reminded to find the joy in life, the excitement behind paying the rent and providing yourself a home, the relief when we buy food for the month. Remember when you were younger and couldn’t wait to start out on your own. The excitement of paying your first rent check, buying your first car, paying for the first meal in a restaurant with your own money?
The joy of setting out on your own – yes there was a bit of terror, let’s be honest, but it was overshadowed by the feeling of independence and, I guess you could say, power. As these actions have become repetitive, and sometimes frightening to contemplate if finances are low, we have lost the joy behind them and the appreciation for what these responsibilities represent. Our personal power, and independence.
At some point this week, try to spend some time playing with children and family, watch their joy and excitement as they approach each task and try to find that in yourself.
This card may indicate the arrival of a child too, sometimes in the form of a relationship where the child comes into your life with the parent. Spend time with people that make you feel good about yourself, and the world – get out there – the world isn’t such a scary place (hmm – perhaps a “Note to Self” moment there too).
Whatever your situation, there is beauty and joy around you – find it and feel it again.
Psychic Tarot: Light
Traditional card – the Sun: This card is promising you light, blessings and abundance – literally the sun shining down on you and blessing everything around you. If things are looking gloomy, trust that the light is on its way to you.
Stay true to yourself – your true self, not the one that you show everyone to fit in, and let that truth shine around you. People drawn to that truth are people you want around you, people that reject that truth don’t belong in your life.
Remember too that no life is created in the light, and that exposure to the light too soon, will destroy life. Life however is nourished by the light, and light does promote growth. Sometimes by shining light in areas we would prefer to leave in the dark. Truths we would rather not face, and experiences we think cast us in a “bad light”
Remember too that darkness is not the enemy or opposite of light, it is the absence of light, and shining a bit of light in these dark recesses of our truth may show them to be our strength and power.
The St Jinx Arcana: Eight of Wands
Movement, sudden change, excitement, quick decision-making, speed.
Ok time to stop thinking and start doing, make a decision, and launch – everything is in place for you to fly, so do it!
The Teachings of Abraham Well-being Cards
It is not my work to control others.
It seems to be a standard thing these days, that to be a good person you have to make sure other’s behave, believe, or act in a certain way, one that you believe to be “right”.
This is a total fallacy, and a total distraction from living in your truth and strength. As long as you are focussed on others, you are not focussed on yourself, and all your energy goes to them. Also you loose your truth in trying to be the person they need to you be so you can “save” them.
Time for some hard facts – you cannot force anyone to change, at most they will hide their truth from you out of fear or intimidation, but their truth will eat at them and destroy them in trying to please you. Contrarywise, if you find yourself suppressing your truth so as not to “offend” others, your truth will eat at and rot inside you.
This card reminds us that the only thing we can control in anyway is our own thoughts, feelings and emotions. They way we see and interpret things, the way we experience the situations in our lives. It is always a choice, regardless of what is happening, are you going to let it destroy you or are you going to use it as a stepping stone to move forward on your path.
Psychic Tarot of the Heart: Blossom
Traditional Card: Judgement
I awaken to the beauty of relationships that nurture me: Following on from the previous cards, this card reminds us to pay attention to our relationships, and the people around us. Give yourself time to nurture a relationship (friendships are relationships too) that may be new. Try not to make snap judgements and overthink things. Just because someone has the same way of gesturing as someone who hurt you, doesn’t mean they are they same type of person.
We tend to “box” people according to certain criteria, but it is a good thing to remember that just because we have “boxed” them in a particular way, doesn’t mean they are identical to everyone else in the box.
Trust that people are brought into your life for a reason, be open to the experiences, and open your heart to new things. Open your heart to people again – I know you have been hurt, betrayed and broken, but so has everyone else.
Share your truth and be honest with who you are and the people that are drawn to you will support your truth. Providing a “fake” persona, or hiding things and the people that are drawn to you will drag you down because they are seeing a false image that is not true to who you are.
Many gay and bisexual people have had this experience, especially those of us that are approaching our 50’s and 60’s – There is a huge benefit, regardless of what you lose, to finally being open and true to who you are.
