Guidance for July 31st, 2022:
“Don’t fight it, enjoy it”
Situation: Appreciation
What you’re doing: 7 of wands
What’s better: 3 of Cups/Queen of Wands
Finally, there’s something to be truly grateful for. Since the wands are here, this could be a fresh new appreciation for what you do for work has been found- a wish come true & an improvement to your living situation after a long exhaustive struggle. You can now rest easy; the fight is over. Something very good and worth celebrating has landed in your lap but you’re still engaged in the struggle feeling as if you have to prove why you are there. You beat the competition because you are skilled & can perform under pressure and your efforts are finally being appreciated. You certainly didn’t get where you are now because you don’t know what you were doing. But yet you are still focused on showing them why you are deserving for this really good thing or opportunity. So instead of being “engaged in the battle” it would be better to be grateful, rest a bit for a victory hard won & enjoy it. You can stop trying to prove yourself, making the case of why you deserve to have this good fortune. Appreciate the talent you possess and your willingness to put in the effort necessary to stay in the catbird seat. Congratulate yourself for coming out on top because you know it wasn’t easy. You had no choice but to fight for it and prove yourself and it was through your perseverance, determination and efforts that you were victorious. Applaud yourself for your courage, assertiveness and hard work. Allow this new beginning to be celebrated and return to spending time with family & friends -as well as enjoying the new social network you find yourself in. Know that there are many people very happy & proud as hell for you. There are celebrations also occurring in the spirit realm in regard to this event as well. Keep striving to make a name for yourself both professionally & personally- a down-to-earth someone who’s reliable, does great work & a good friend held in high regard. Focus on how you can contribute positively and creatively to the group dynamic as well as the new happiness you have found.

“Jailbreak: Escaping your Inner Prison”
Start: High Priestess
Stop: Queen of Pentacles reversed
Continue: The Devil reversed
Healing, a private thing, is usually on its own timetable; the uncovering is an inner process that happens in phases & requires peace, quiet and being alone for reflection, contemplation and realization. The HP urges you to recapture your inner Light by recognizing your concealed personal power and use it to expose your controlling subconscious & unconscious needs or feelings. Some psychological exploration and healing are needed here as this week’s cards encourage you to stop being resistant and fearful of confronting what lies within and face them head on. Perhaps in order to make peace & heal the war within yourself, you must deal with the devils of your past since the psyche never forgets nor lets go of anything until we dive deep to retrieve it & transmute it. By that I mean, transforming the knowledge & energy bound in every experience and transmuting it into wisdom. With the Queen here in reverse, she says there is valuable potential here but its delayed due to your passivity & insecurity. You are holding on to stuff that lets your spirit down whether it be past mistakes, old losses, or prior setbacks. With the HP, this could also refer to confronting psychosomatic disorders (hypochondria, eating disorders, mood disorders) or stress related illnesses. There’s has been an almost desperate sense of “upside-down” self-preservation by you trying to keep safe these secret insecurities or nurturing your neurosis. It’s time to recognize its seductive power over you, providing a false sense of security. This obsession drains your life force and is absolutely NOT in your best interest-Not physically, mentally, emotionally nor spiritually. This thankfully, has come into your awareness somewhat & you’ve been making moves to break loose from the secret misery you have been bound to. Keep going-continue rejecting this confining inner prison you have built. Refuse to stay a slave to unhealthy desires or anything that drains your energy, interferes with the health of your relationships (especially with yourself) & your connection with your inner wisdom.
Guidance for July 17th, 2022:
“Find Your Backbone and Fight the Good Fight”
Do this: 7 of Wands
Don’t do this: Queen of Swords
There will not be a more perfect moment to act than right now. A time to set yourself apart, add your personal touch & accomplish the seemingly impossible. Any uncertainty felt needs to be remedied so you can remain fighting the “good fight” and continue taking on challenges & delivering. Stand bravely to face any trials or tests, even if you are tired or discouraged. This not a time to be weak or take the easy way out but stand your ground despite feelings of vulnerability or indecision. Gather your courage, have more confidence in your own strength and don’t give in to the pressure against your better judgement. You have what it takes. You just need to believe in yourself and try your very best. Don’t allow adversaries to overcome you when you are more than capable of sticking up for yourself. If you do not stand tall & act now without hesitation, will make more problems for yourself. You may need to fight hard for your values & what lies close to your heart and rise up out of any former embarrassment. No one likes to be challenged or opposed when trying to do the best that they can. Fiercely independent, intimidating, maybe a bit hard to know, this Queen became a bit hardened due to past experiences of being vulnerable or insecure about her self-worth. You may be the same. The Queen of Swords can let her cynical emotions direct her decision making & understanding. This challenged Queen can place too much emphasis on past sorrows-still wounded by past hurts. Don’t let a bruised ego & old neurosis get in the way of clear judgement or extinguish your grit. This Queen warns against wallowing and being pessimistic making life much worse than it really is. In dealing with challengers, watch how you are communicating. Avoid being overly critical or judgmental whether with others or yourself. The Queen of Swords can stir controversy with her words. Instead, take the higher ground in conversations keeping watch over biting comments, sarcasm or rudeness that could lead to arguments & isolation.
Guidance for July 10, 2022
“Make Up Your Mind”
Do This: 2 of Swords reversed
Don’t do this: Empress
If you have found yourself in a stalemate the crescent moon indicates things are hopefully moving towards a resolution. There can be no more delays -the time of critical problem solving is at hand. It’s not about making a comfortable choice but hashing it out to come to a compromise to end this standoff. You will not have the luxury of lounging around expecting to put off confronting this conflict for another day or hoping this situation sorts itself out without engagement. Sometimes, when we struggle to make a decision due to mental overload or fear of choosing the wrong option, one is made for us. That is not a powerful place to be & the decision made may not be in your favor since the Two of Swords in Reverse urges you to look for deception or deceitfulness. Don’t be naïve enough to think this could not be a possibility. Being careful could prevent you from getting results you did not ask for. You are being advised to think twice rather than trying to correct a mistake later. Ask direct questions but be warned you might not like the answers as hidden truths may be revealed. It’s better to know what you are working with right? This way you are able to take the steps to fix the situation for the better without letting boundaries be overstepped. Is it possible to find the balance in arbitration so both parties can feel good & satisfied? Each walking away fat & happy feeling victorious as if they gained something of value? Just be careful you are not giving too much away only to end with remorse later on since The Empress in this position warns against being too compliant. That said, you cannot be greedy or too materialistic either. Proceed by using logic & reason to thoughtfully weigh the pros & cons and avoid relying on the physical senses or emotions when coming to a conclusion.
Guidance for July 3rd, 2022:
“Inspired by The Advanced Handbook of Soul Transformation by Clive Shane Hetherington”
The Tree
Gaia (Nurturing) & Fairies (Earth Magic)
“The unfolding planetary transition at this time is encouraging us all to move into Divine Unity/Self Sovereignty/ The Great Work/ Inner Alchemy- to meet the largest part of who you truly are by resolving all that causes you to be separate & releasing all that holds you back. It short, it’s about change & letting go. As you progress on resolving these issues & move closer to unity, a phenomenal shift in awareness and consciousness occurs as you relate to yourself and others in completely new ways. The best and easiest way to move through this process is to learn to work directly with the Divine. The rate of evolution & change becomes faster & faster all the while feeling directly supported & nurtured as you do it.”
​
What better reflection of the Divine on this planet is its flora & greenery. Gaia asks you to reflect on what is preventing you from doing the beneficial things for yourself by working to process old traumas, resolving your personal issues & collective conditioning and clearing your stored pain. To take a cue from the autumnal Tree and shed your leaves of limiting attachments that fail to serve but in fact restrict your potential. But where were some of these issues or attachments seeded? Since we are living breathing specimens of not only our familial but collective human histories, the Fairies indicate a potential clue could lie in our roots. The Fairies point to the elements that are hidden, unseen but yet vital to the health & growth potential of the tree. Often these are the essential things that are often overlooked entirely but could be the very thing that could make all the difference- negatively or positively. Here the Tree represents our ancestry, our history, our roots and how although we stand alone, we are very much affected by our environment & dependent upon it for our existence. Tree symbolizes the holistic and integrated system of the Self-the leaves (new, beneficial, expansive growth) balanced by the roots (nurturing foundations). The health of one directly influenced by the health of the other. People have roots but they are not only roots, they have branches that can grow very far from the roots. The Soul will seek out opportunity where it can like growing branches and finds its nourishment wherever it is. To be bound by the roots would be a betrayal to its potentiality. The Tree also serves to remind us of the economics of psychic energy; of the need to prune our dead branches or energy suckers to promote not only health but expansive growth if we are to produce fruit.
In the most mundane form, there’s a very nourishing element of being outside amongst the foliage (garden, forest, trails, flowers, meadows) that is being overlooked that could be very healing, inspiring, restorative to your body, mind & spirit right now.
