Card spread for 7/24/17 – 7/30/17

How may we work with this new moon energy and make necessary choices/changes… and avoid the eclipse season doing it for us?

Interesting that the question alludes to action and the spread humbly displays stillness via the cards showing up in protection (reversed/up-side down).

Two cards showed up for the anchor this week….

POISED…in protection…#48

Not ready to move forward at this time.  “Fake it till you make it” won’t work right now.  It’s OK to postpone until ready.

PEACE…only card NOT in protection…#23

Explains HOW to remain still as the Poised card suggests…

Now is the time for calmness and well-being.  We are in our power by just BEING and that is enough right now.  Be in peaceful harmony with spirit and within yourself.  Don’t look to outer world for certainty.

Cards that tell the anchor’s story….

HAPPY HAPPY…in protection…#26

Lighten up.  have fun, be playful.  Don’t take self, others and/or situations too seriously. Peaceful poise allows space to listen.  DO what you hear makes spirit/soul/higher self happy…letting spirit sparkle through.  Find humor and follow its lead.  Navigating new territory is done best while happy and lighthearted…what a wonderful icebreaker.

TIME FOR A NAP…in protection…#24

“WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS NOT HUMAN DOINGS.”  You’ve done all you can with projects, people and situations…now is time to rest and replenish depleted reserves.  Avoid illness by taking a break and nourishing body and spirit.  Ignore ego’s push to keep going.

TO BE FAIR…in protection…#38

Feel your power by standing up for self and others.  Hold fairness as intention and act with kindness, empathy and courage…and situations will be resolved serving the highest good of all concerned.

GOOD TAROT…affirmations supporting the anchor and story

3 of WATER…Not alone, joy of community, accepting of light & shadow

“Joy and excitement flow among all those gathered.  I embrace being a part of something larger than myself.  It’s a time to delight in the camaraderie as I experience the greater whole that is my community or team.  We buoy each other and play together as we co-create.  We are friends, family, and companions, sharing our experiences.  It is a time to remember we must accept each other as we are, with both shadow and light within.”

4 of EARTH…I may not know, but spirit has a divine plan & my foundation is solid.  Confidence that comes from daily spiritual practice(s), connecting self to the divine.

“Even if I feel shaken up and am unable to understand why things happen as they do, I know for certain that divine order manifests in all aspects of my life.  What I have built rests on a sold foundation so there is no need to fear.  While it is true that nothing is permanent in the material world, I find security in the existence of a divine plan.  Spirit is always there to remind me that I am exactly where I am meant to be for my highest good and the highest good of all, and that I always have abundance available to me.”

****Take this time of darkness following the new moon and rest….replenish body and soul.  Listen to higher self, spirit and the divine during this time of contemplation and receive what’s now and next.  You can’t rush divine order…so playfully embrace this time of downloading, lovingly filling up your reserves in joyful communion with self, the divine and community…so you may dance lightheartedly into your co-created manifestation….

Love, ME
