BIG BOLD VISION

This Oracle is dedicated to those who aren’t afraid to rattle some cages, ruffle some feathers and rock some boats. May your rebellious heart beat with the power of divine grace, and may your soul thrive,

You were not born to play a small role in life. You have the ability to dream big. Even if you have absolutely no idea about how your visions can come true or what all the details may look like, you can access the heart and guts of a vision by tapping into your wildest dreams and surrendering attachment to exactly how it all will work out. The details are up to the Universe. You are an active, contributing participant but not the sole player in your life journey. There is a vision or an idea that is coming to you. You may worry that it is too much for you. But, don’t worry. It is meant to be yours. Although you might have some adjustments to make and some tweaking to do as you let go of your limited thinking and open up to a fearless acceptance of bigger, brighter, more radical and more potent possibilities of creatively living your light in the world. A sign that you are cracking out of your limited thinking, to allow for a big, bold vision to come to you, is that you might feel a little dizzy with the shrinking limitations and expanding possibilities of life. You may wonder if you are allowed to access so much wonder! Remember that in your healing and growing success as you manifest this big vision, you can touch the hearts of others through your presence, your inner work, your art and your choices. It is a win – win situation! Those that are meant to live big, bold and visionary lives need to give themselves permission to break the mold and forge newer, more expansion perspectives of what is possible, what is permitted and what is of service. It’s about letting go and opening up. Others will benefit from this.  Even though it is your vision. It is not just about you!  You are being asked to remember that when something is right for you, endless synchronicities and support will flow your way, at the right time and in the right way. Stay open, receptive, playful and surrendered.

Six of Swords

This week we are  using THE GODDESS TAROT by Kris Waldherr, which is a deck with a very feminine feel to it. The feminine is more emotional and soulful than the Male side which is concerned about taking care of business on the exterior plane of existence. Both are very important factors in our lives and we all have and need both Yin (female) and Yang (male) energies to be in balance with ourselves and the World we live in. So Guys, don’t think you are being left out this week, as this card applies to you too!

In the Six of Swords we see a young Lady sitting in a boat with Six Swords behind her in the boat with her. You should take note of how she is looking rather sadly at the rough water to her right and the white water Lilies which symbolize innocence and purity. She seems to have bandages  (at least that is how I see them) on her right arm symbolizing  that she has been hurt… and this is on the same side as the rough water  and white Lilies she is so sadly looking at. Notice also that she has a white Headband on, symbolizing her innocence and thoughts. On the Left side of the boat is calm clear blue (blue is the color of the mental plane and our thoughts)water (symbolizing our emotions)  and smooth rolling hills (symbolizing an easier time and conditions on the physical plane). What does all this mean? Well, The bow of the boat is heading away from the rough choppy water of the emotions. She has been hurt physically, mentally or emotionally and it has taken away her pure innocent thoughts, feelings and thus, it has taken a toll on her physically too. So even though she is mourning what once started out as pure and innocent times, it has turned cold, rough and even physically damaging and she knows she must leave it all behind and head for smoother water on the distant shore. Even though she doesn’t know what awaits her there,  she knows it will be better than what she is leaving behind. She isn’t expecting to forget what has happened in the past,.. she knows she will always remember the sweet times and even miss them, but she can’t forget the now damaging and hurtful times they have become  (because she has taken those Swords with her in the boat. Thus symbolizing responsibility) , and she knows she must move on and away from the mental, and possibly physical but definitely emotionally painful circumstances. It is time to think about her responsibility for how she is creating her own life, her self-preservation and self-care. It is time to head out and do what is in her own best interest, even if she doesn’t really know how things will turn out. But she knows it has to be better than what she is leaving behind.

So if you are living or working in a condition that has mentally, physically and/or emotionally left you feeling beaten or wounded; then perhaps it’s time to leave it behind. To take responsibility for the life you are living and the conditions you are living with.  And even though it may make you sad because it all started out so sweet, accept that it has now gone sour and pack your things and leave it behind. It may be sad, it may even be scary, but you know in your heart and mind that anything has got to be better than what you are experiencing now. Get in your boat (means of transportation, or a change in your perspective, no matter what that may be) and head to calmer waters and distant shores. Put some space between you and the conditions or people that have taken your happiness,joy or innocence. Time to move on. Or change your way of thinking. Take responsibility for creating the life you truly want to be living.

Temperance

Today’s Tarot Reading Card is Temperance. As the name indicates, Temperance has to do with moderation. It also has to do with having patience and not acting in haste and encourages one not to act or react in extremes. Not to hot and not to cold. Not too fast but not too slow either… keep centered and walk the middle road.

Temperance deals with being able to harmonize and balance ones emotions, physical life & spirit. To gain nourishment from these things while not letting them over run you and cause either apathy, anger or physical excess. So this week, be aware so you can stay balanced and keep your temper in check. Nourish your body, emotions and spirit. Be patient, even when it is hard or you find it frustrating to do so. Be moderate, patient and kind. Stay balanced and seek out harmony in your relationships and in all you do. Be Temperate… don’t come on too hot or too cold. Too passive or too strong.  Use your emotions to nourish both yourself and others.  Temperance means moderation, patience, balance, nourishing ones body, spirit and emotions. Seek harmony in all you say and do and with those you encounter this week.

Four of Domhan a.k.a. the Four of Pentacles

In the Four of Domham, or more commonly called the Four of Pentacles in other decks, we see Four Pentacles etched on the pillars that are guarding and supporting  the ‘safe room’ for all the gold and riches we have accumulated thus far. In front of the  “safe room” we see a pillow where we can sit and guard our treasures as well as admire all we have accumulated. This is all very good and nice, except if you notice the color of the pillow, you will see that it is also the same gray color as the stone ‘safe room’. This indicates that you spend way too much time admiring your money and possessions or working and worrying about accumulating more. More money, more possessions… more, more, more and still more. When is enough, enough? Are you working for the sole purpose of accumulating more money and possessions to the exclusion of joy and your soul purpose? If your work doesn’t feed your soul as well as your pocketbook, then this my be the case for you. If you only passions in life comes from money and what it can gain you, perhaps you need to loosen your grip on some of your wealth and have some fun with some of it. After all, “All work and no play makes Jack/or Jill and dull boy/girl!” This card is frequently called the ‘King Midas’ card. Where he loved his money and possessions so much that matters of the heart fell by the wayside. All he had held dear to him was left unattended and money became his sole passion and everything he touched turned to gold. When he finally did look away from his work, possessions and gold and realized that he was lonely, he called for his daughter for company , but when she came to his side and he touched her, she too turned to gold. It was only then that the King realized that true wealth comes from the people and experiences we love and enjoy in life. So this card is a warning to not bring your work home with you, and learn when enough is enough. Don’t spend all your time and attention on your work, money and possessions. Tend to matters of your heart too. Let go of some of that money in order to share and enjoy it with others and the pursuit of happiness. This doesn’t mean becoming a spendthrift and blowing your budget, it just means putting enjoyment and recreation into your budget. Budget some time and money to things and people you hold near and dear to you.
