The Nature of Today's Energy 9.6.13: The Empress Card Must Be Turned Right Side Up.

Friday 9.6.13:

The card of the day is Fertility = The Empress. The hidden energy card is The World. The card sits in the position of Green = compassion, love, and cultivation. 

The energy of the day is about receiving what you need at the right time. What if you were shown what the true possibilities will be, when you are faced with a certain choice? 
Would you still walk the path you were given?

Sometimes you are given the answer. The true nature of what can happen. You are shown what the outcome can be. 

We still decide to walk down the path of negative destruction. 

The cards are talking about abundance and being in the right place at the right time. You are walking on the right path. 

I have to be honest. Today brought about a lot of things. The abundance of what?

Every card contains a light and shadow side to it. 
The Empress does mean abundance but I also view the shadow side as excessive. Too much of something. It is not always a great idea to take on more than you can handle. 

You become full. Full of crap. Full of junk. 

One wants to be empty. Ready to be filled with good. 
The Empress brings us only good. The shadow side of the card is brought about because one wishes to separate from the Truth. 

What are you seeing an abundance of? Is it of good?

Maybe it is time to empty your spiritual self. Just release the ties and binds that you have placed on your spirit. 

As I write this the song "Weightless", by Natasha Bedingfield, comes to mind. 
She talks about cutting the strings and floating on a journey of hope. 
Maybe the Empress card is here to remind you that it is time to cut the strings that bind you down and float on a wonderful journey of hope. Your hope. 

It is time to take care of you. Take care of your spirit. Take care of that beautiful soul within you. Allow it to fly. Allow your mind to dream. Dream and float to your good. The Empress card must be turned right side up. To allow the birth of a great idea to be born. For you to be reborn. To wake up and be alive. 

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 7.29.13: Expectations will only lead you to Disappointments

Monday 7.29.13:

The card of the day is Fertility = The Empress. The hidden energy card is the Lovers. The card sits in the position of Water = emotions, initiation, and rejuvenation. 

I woke up, with the expectation, of registering for classes and receiving a Pell Grant, in order to return to school and finish my Associates Degree. 
Expectations will only lead to Disappointment. Remember this lesson. We must never expect a certain situation to happen in a certain way. This would cause us to be disappointed with the outcome. If you were expecting a chocolate cake for your Birthday and received Carrot Cake (which you hate) then surely you would be disappointed. 
If you were expecting 20 people for a dinner party and 50 show up, then surely you would be disappointed. 

Disappointment is the act of regret. Regret is the act of thinking "lack of". 

I will get to the energy of today after I write about a few of my feelings. Today is about feelings and emotions. 

I really do want to write a book about how a Mystic gets depressed and that we are not always full of positive thoughts. 
The book would be about how to get past the initial feelings of loss. The initial feelings of regret. The initial feelings of "lack of". The book would be geared towards everyone who wishes to advance in their spiritual practice. It would advise them on what certain things may feel like, according to my experience, and how I worked through it. 
I do not wake up everyday with great joy in my heart. I also deal with thoughts of worry, doubt, and fear. 
Sometimes I want to sit in my own self pity and cry. It is only natural. We are all human. 

I woke up with an expectation, and when that expectation was not met, I started to go off on a rampage. I complained. I lifted up my fist at the sky and shook it very hard at Source. I was very hurt. I wanted to cry. 

Have you ever wanted to go out on the pier, or climb a tall mountain, and throw rocks at the sky, in hope that it will get Source's attention by poking him/her in the eye. 
"Now that I have your attention Source. Can you please help me? This being of light that has been listening to every command that you state. This wonderful person who is willing to give up all that is material, in order to aid others on their journey. Ya! This person who only wishes to be happy. This Mystic needs a fellow Mystic to talk with. Can you please pay a little more attention to me?"

Attention. 
Even children of God need a little Source Time. 

Now that I think about it. If I was given two minutes of time with Source's undivided attention, I would not talk about my problems. I would just sit in silence and know that everything is perfect. I may complain now and wish that I could walk right up to Source and state that I am upset, but in all of It's greatness, I would surely be filled with only love. The small things that I am complaining about are non important. They are simply items. 

This is how I work through my Ego. This is how I work through my doubt. I would imagine myself bringing it up to Source and in turn they just do not seem so big. They are not that important.

I am living. I still exist. I am still here. Everything works out in my favor. I know this is Truth. I am simply trying to be like that boulder in the river. The one that sits and wants the current flow of energy to stop. 
I must allow all things to take place and know that there is only good in my life. 

Now. Back to the energy of the day. 

The energy is about emotions. Female energy. Abundance. Today is about everything working out in your favor. So what if you did not get to register for college today. So what?! So what, if you did not get the job you wanted. So what?! 
The path is still ahead of you. You are still walking. It is okay to throw a fit. It is okay to be mad. It is okay to try and throw rocks at Source's eye. In the end we are still loved. We are still blessed. Source does not look at us and state "oh he is being a real Asshole. I am going to put him in a time out. "

We put our self in a time out. It is when we are in worry, in doubt, and in fear that we are sitting in a corner. Source is the one who asks us every second "Are you ready to receive love?"

Blessed Be. 

The Nature of Today's Energy 7.17.13: There is Always More than Enough

Wednesday 7.17.13:

The card of the day is The Empress. The hidden energy card is The World. The card sits in the position of Nettle = boundaries and caution.

What a fine day. 

I am adjusting to the California environment. 

As I started to do things around the house and boss my partner around, I found that time was slipping out of my hands, and my entry for the day was put at the end of the list. I am sitting here, in the room that we are staying in, and writing about the energy of the day. 

I found a wonderful smokey quartz pendant that I could wear here in California. This is the stone that filters a lot of the energy that is around me, so that I am not always on overload with information. The stone that I had to wear in Texas was known as Brown Tourmaline. It did wonders for me. The energy would be pushed outward and the spirits around were silenced. When I concentrated on what was being said, I could hear the spirits around me, and pick up different images for those that I am reading for. 

So much information. I went to the DMV to see if I can get my California drivers license and also a lot of shopping for little things. 

Little things that add up in cost when you are on a budget. 

I have to remember that there is always more than enough. That there is always a constant. The energy is about understanding the cycles of change. That money is an ever flowing energy that we must learn to let go of. 

We must learn to recognize which items are a necessity and which items are not. 
I must understand that Source will take care of the things I need and also will supply me with the means to create abundance. 

I must not worry. One cycle of abundance will lead into the next. I am not aware of what is happening behind the curtain as the stage is being set. What will take place in Act II of my life? I am sure it is a musical. I am also sure that the stage will be set with gold and glitter. This is how we must see our life. What does your abundance look like? What will the stage look like with your Act II?

Blessed Be.  

The Nature of Today's Energy 5.7.13: Abundance

Tuesday 5.7.13: 

The card of the day is the Empress. The hidden energy card is the Moon. 

Our journey can be filled with dangerous situations. We learned, from the warrior, that there is a time to fight and a time to sit back and let things take place. The Moon speaks about that journey and the danger of it, but evolution must take a risk. In order to grow, you have to evolve, and take on a new shape and form. 

Sometimes we have to speak up and be heard. To give a battle cry to let others know that "I am not afraid. That I am here." 

This is not to start a war, but to bring truth to the situation, and allow wonderful and great things to transpire. Transformation must be given a chance to, well, transform. To take on a new shape and form.

The process may hurt. The process may seem scary. One thing is for sure, that we are constantly searching for great and wonderful ways to exist. To shine within the dark. To be the great "I AM". 

Did you know that when we find dis-comfort and dis-ease, our spirit and body, is advising us that something is wrong. We are not within alignment with our Divine Plan. When we are faced with the ability to state something into existence, we must first understand if it is coming from a state of Ego or from Spirit. 

Source will never lead us down a path of danger. Abundance is around every corner. The Empress, will approach everything with the intent to create good. To create the best product, fruit, or tool that is needed. We reap what we sow. I do not wish to reap in confusion and a stagnant state of being. 

I always ask my clients, "What happens to water when it sits for a long time and is not moving? It becomes stagnant. It produces nothing good, but the Bog of Eternal Stench". (Labyrinth reference...)

The water must keep running, must keep moving. We are beings of light that are constantly wanting to evolve. To be better. To be of light. 
The Empress states to me that everything must have a time of Birth. A new idea must be born into reality. The pain may be harsh, but we move through it. The cycle must take place. 

I never related the Warrior to a mother giving birth, but something has just clicked in my mind, that giving birth is the greatest battle that takes place in our physical world. The Goddess within every mother, and person, must come through. Divine must take hold and produce. The Birthing experience is out of our hands. It may only take a minute, a day, a year, but one thing is for certain; you will have to go through it. 

Breathe. That is the true technique. When your Ego wants to step in, breathe. When your spirit takes over, breathe. When the battle begins....breathe. This will ease the pain and allow you to give birth to that wonderful idea...that wonderful dream...called Life. 

Blessed Be.   

The Nature of Today's Energy 1/30/12

  The Empress.
We move from one phase to another. So many lesson cards during this month. The Counterpart to the Emperor card keeps coming up. So this tells me that we need to enjoy what the Divine is giving us. Open yourself up to every opportunity that comes your way today. It will lead you to something great. You will see the benefits of your good intentions. Remember that the Empress is not always about money. She can also be about the abundance of love and truth. She rules her kingdom with open arms and an open heart. She loves all that she sees and all that is within her kingdom. Be careful though, for you may let it get to your head. You may give with the contract of it will be returned. Do not become the shadow part of the Empress. The Queen who rules in vein.

Blessed Be.

The Nature of Today's Energy 1/25/12

  The Empress.
So many Major Arcana cards. The cards I have been picking contain wonderful lessons within them. They each show us that we are strong. That wonderful and great things are in our future. Actually wonderful and great things are always around us, but some of us choose to only look at what could happen. The Empress talks about abundance and prosperity. Have you been waiting for a great opportunity to take place?
Well wait no more. Today will contain the answer. Today will contain the truth. Today you can move forward and know that great things shall take place. Enjoy what the Empress has to offer. Enjoy the prosperity that awaits on the other side of the mountain. The real question is "Are you ready to climb the mountain?"

Blessed Be.

The Nature of Today's Energy 12/28/11

  The Empress.
Abundance and prosperity. Time to harvest the joy and love all around you. The energy will be about having more than enough. Finding more ways to create and manifest wonderful things into your life. For those who are spiritually moving forward, this card is about the Divine bringing us what is needed. We see that everything else is just a desire. Today understand that there is always more than enough. Give and it shall come back to you in different ways. Give your time. Give your love. Use the gifts that the Divine has bestowed upon you. Understand that you are never without anything. If it is needed, then it will be brought into your life. We just have to recognize it.

Blessed Be.
