Time for Weekend Wisdom – it seems that we are onto some more positive energy explorations as the years moves to its end! Oh my goodness 2025 has flown by for me!!
The bulk of the “wisdom” is in the individual descriptions, even if you just read the summary for now, make time to read the individual interpretations, it will definitely help understanding the full message.
The below is based on my knowledge, experience, and interpretation; feel free to disagree and question me, we both grow that way.
Card by card explanation
Central energy focus
The StJinx Arcana: Knight of Cups:
Charging forward with love
The Knights generally represent a time for action and/or messages of, in this case, love.
One of the biggest areas of lack in the world right now is unconditional love, love without judgement of any kind.
Through the insidious influence of what I call “religious thought” (I am right, so you are wrong therefore I can treat you badly, judge you unfairly, and even kill you to preserve my own delusion), we are constantly at war with each other for irrelevant crap.
It is time we open our hearts and charge forward with love and healing – this does not mean we sacrifice ourselves and allow ourselves to be abused.
Unconditional love starts with love for ourselves, non-judgement of ourselves, this includes saying no to people who would take advantage of us, it includes defending ourselves. Not from the perspective of religious thought as such but from the perspective of mutual respect.
For example, if someone is treating you badly, or taking advantage of your “good nature” so to speak. You can refuse to help them, you can remove them from your company and you can say no.
Unconditional love becomes conditional love when, in this process, you lay conditions on the interaction. A drug addict for example, you can kick them out, you can refuse to support them, but it becomes conditional when you say things like; “I am happy to help you if you give up the drugs”. Keep it simple; “You are taking advantage of my generosity and I will not support you anymore”, period, end of discussion, case closed.
By making things conditional, you are not only interfering with their free will, but you are also forcing them into submission to your will. You are also judging their choices and decisions, and taking responsibility for their choices, thereby allowing them to remain victims.
You do not know the whys and wherefores of their reasons for their choices, and you are not responsible for them. The more you take responsibility for those decisions by making them change to please you, the more you disempower them, tacitly agree to their behaviour, and sacrifice your own power.
Working in unconditional love is tough because we must “unlearn” many of the “tenets of goodness” we have been taught.
The Knight of Cups is holding a chalice tipped slightly forward, warning us that is easy to “spill” our love on the ground, not benefitting ourselves or anyone else, if we are unaware, or aren’t facing the truth of our actions.
Actions have consequences, if we do not allow people to experience those consequences, then we disempower them.
This does not EVER make you an “agent of karma”, it is never your “duty” to force others to change. It is your duty to yourself to be true to yourself. To keep people in your life that empower, love and support you. Not intentionally (sycophantic behaviour) but just by being who they are.
People you do not want in your space are not evil or bad, they are just out of sync with you, therefor they do not belong in your space, particularly if they “drag you down” so to speak.
They do belong in your space if they challenge you, and help you grow through their example etc.
You do not need “them” to apologise – that is you controlling “them”, and demanding retribution, respect their right to follow their own judgement and process, forgive them anyway and expect the best from the world and it will show up.
Time to act in love, pure unconditional love.
What is supporting this process, what processes can we use to help us here?
The Faerie’s Oracle – Nelys the Alchemist: Inner transformation, irrevocable change
Nelys is part of the Faerie Guides and Guardians grouping, directly guiding humans as we embrace our special talents and express our truth in the physical world.
She is an alchemist. Historically alchemists were focussed on turning lead into gold.
Many spiritual interpretations of this concept take it to mean that they take the lead (heavy physical experience) and help you to find the gold (enlightenment, joy and peace) in your everyday experience.
Once the process of alchemy is complete it is impossible to go back to where you were, this is a good thing.
Work with Nelys when you are battling to find the meaning and joy in your current experience. Very often we experience difficult situations that make us think we are “off-track” but often these “detours” are what bring us to a better place than we anticipated.
It may not feel like it now, but you will look back at this point in your life and realise that, although you are not necessarily getting what you think you want, you are getting exactly what you need for the transformation to take place.
The Quantum Oracle – Milestone: Acknowledgement and celebration
This card is not only about celebrating your successes or experiences. It is also telling you that, if you are wanting to change self-sabotaging behaviour, now would be the time for you to do that.
Celebrate and experience every step of the process, you will thank yourself tomorrow!
How can we ground this learning into our experience and move forward?
The Enchanted Map: Peaks of Joy: Your life is full of happiness, share it with others
Maybe as a first step, acknowledge it to yourself!
Over the years of physical experience, it is easy to become bogged down with the day to day bleh, and fear and stress.
There is a way to experience joy in everything, look for it.
It could be a smile that you give someone, oe they give you, It could be a sunrise or sunset, a leaf that’s drifts across your bath, a dog that jumps up and licks your face.
Embrace they joy that is around you, fill your soul with it and let it flow around you.
Sacred Geometry Oracle Deck: Infinity: beyond measure
One of the most powerful understandings we can experience is the understanding of cycles and their infinite potential.
Evey thought and action reaches forward and backward through time and space, constantly cycling, not in a circle (that repeats the previous cycle), but through the sign of infinity, always expanding and never ending.
At the central juncture is a main choice point where you choose if you are going to expand or repeat your cycle.
There are infinite possibilities and choices, make a choice, chose a possibility, embrace it fully and see where it takes you. Use your intuition to guide you, not your head.
Your mind will take you into the circle, behaving as you always have, do something different, let your heart decide
Wednesday Wisdom is a free service, and you are welcome to share it if you wish, just please respect my work and share it in its entirety.
Summary
Time to stop making excuses and move forward in unconditional love, without recrimination, blame or judgement of yourself, or others. Do not get side-tracked by trying to figure out people’s motives, don’t hold your or their previous “sins” against them. Keep it simple, do they improve your state of being or not. If they do – keep them, if not – release them.
This is not an excuse to choose the “easy way out”, some of the challenging people and situations may be there for you to expand and grow. The telling point is are they expanding your awareness, or forcing you under control, or forcing you to control them?
This is a time for massive shifts and changes, embrace the assistance of Nelys, the Alchemist to find the gold within the lead of your “negative” experiences, celebrate the milestones and achievements in your experience, and allow yourself to face and release self-sabotaging behaviours.
Acknowledge and find the joy in your experience then share it, let it flow out of you. Everything is a cycle so remember that this too will pass, and needs to, embrace your currently reality without judgement or self-recrimination and release it when it no longer serves you, remember to use your intuition to step into the infinity symbol, rather than your mind that will repeat the past experiences.
Hope this helps – have a fab week!!
The Desiderata
By Max Ehrmann ©1927
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
