18 June - Monday Magic! Card Reveal

Good evening, Beloved, Kindred Souls! I hope each of you had a lovely day and are settling down for a long, peaceful and restorative sleep. Here are your cards from today's Monday Magic! These cards were a little bit of birthday love I gave to myself - they're from Collette Baron-Reid's "Wisdom of the Oracle Divination Cards," a 52-card deck "based on intricately blended ancient divination tools." They're so beautiful! I am just in love with the surreal, dreamlike artwork on these cards. I invite you to really spend some time with the images here - there's a lot to take in. Each card comes with five separate interpretations, so take your time to really lean into what's being offered here. I hope it brings you whatever insight you're needing right now.

1) BREATHE (29)


ESSENTIAL MEANINGS:
Patience; waiting; going slowly; wellness; meditation; trust


THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE:
Patience in all things is called for right now. What do you need to do when you're in a rush? Slow down, of course. Meditate and trust. Breathe, and repeat. Humans cannot exist without drawing breath. Now is the time to allow the life-giving element of air to replenish your body, your being, and your very essence. Stop to smell the roses, breathe in the sunlight, and release the darkness - and miracles will appear.


RELATIONSHIP MESSAGE:
Don't be in too much of a hurry right now. The heart needs time to open. Take a breath,and let nature take its course. Release constriction and anxiety, for there is no need for tension. Savor the moment , and the waiting won't prove difficult. Your heart knows what the ego often resists learning. Patience pays off in deep and meaningful ways.


PROSPERITY MESSAGE:
You have worked long and hard, your dreams are coming to fruition, and you want to hurry things along. You are the slow one moving languidly yet still progressing right now, in a rhythm dictated by your authentic nature, the essence of your dream, and the will of the universe. Slow and steady wins this race. You will indeed win if you relax, stay the course, trust your intuition, and breathe.


PROTECTION MESSAGE:
Inertia, laziness, and apathy are signs not of slowing down but of decay and lifelessness. Wake up and do something to shake this off! Go outside for some air. A walk in nature will remind you that all of life is ensouled and magical. Get some exercise, move out of your head and into your body, and breathe in deeply. Each breath is precious.

2) ROUND AND ROUND (25)

ESSENTIAL MEANINGS:
The spiral quality of events when a lesson isn't quite integrated; cycles you are challenged to break; revisiting a pattern form a new perspective.


THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE:
The appearance of this card is a reminder that although it may appear that you've gone backward, the truth is that you are standing at a higher level, looking down into your circumstances. You will learn something, do something better, and break a cycle set up in your past. You actually have a bird's-eye view of your initial footprints and can access the wisdom and lessons learned.


RELATIONSHIP MESSAGE:
Are you wondering, How did I get here again? Does something feel familiar right now in your dynamics with others? Maybe a little too familiar? Don't be surprised that you've found yourself repeating an old story with the same sort of person, who may not look similar but who attracted you because of your easy acquaintance with his or her qualities. Your relationship is a mix of what is good and what is potentially challenging. You have been drawn to this person through the perfection of Spirit's plan for your evolution. You may have circled back to an accustomed spot - a familiar place - but that's fine, as you get to do things again, only differently this time, for you learned something of great value since the last time around. How will you choose to behave now that you're aware? Remain curious and stay out of the blame game.


PROSPERITY MESSAGE:
If you're in a scenario that appears to be an echo of something that's already happened in the past in your work life, it is because you're being invited to see what you couldn't see before. This is a perfect time for you to look at the deeper motives you have and your attraction to the opportunities and people who have entered your life to be part of your journey to prosperity. Who helps you navigate? Who sabotages you? Who supports you? What are the familiar signs, and your responses to them, when you find yourself in a repeat pattern of the past? It's a good time to get a coach or mentor who can help you see what you can't on your own. Repeat what works, not what doesn't. Then you will free yourself from the old cycles and cease going round and round.


PROTECTION MESSAGE:
Are you refusing to see your own personal responsibility for repeating lessons you don't need to relearn? You have to surrender now to the fct that you are the common denominator in all these repeat performances. Be happy, for this is a wonderful spot to be in! You can now see the cycles that you wish to exit. Once you figure out that you have the power to stop going round and round, you possess the key to your freedom. Be good to yourself. It's not about blame but accountability. You can have the abundant life filled with love and prosperity that Spirit so wants for you!

3) THE FATES (17)


ESSENTIAL MEANINGS:
Fate; karma; acceptance that there are things you cannot change and knowing what those things are.


THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE:
The Serenity Prayer sums up the meaning of this card: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." There are things in life you will never have control over. The conditions brought on by the evolution of the collective, by nature, and by your past experiences may be fated, preordained by Spirit for a greater purpose you cannot understand in this lifetime. It may not be in your cards to understand why certain events occurred, but you can accept the mystery and work with what those events and your current circumstances have to teach you. This is the wisdom contained in the Serenity Prayer.


RELATIONSHIP MESSAGE:
Other people are who they are. You can't change them. The challenge is to accept them as they are and not try to make them otherwise to suit you. This is a time to look at how you attempt to mold people to fit your view of how they should be so you can remain in the relationship and avoid discomfort. What if who they are, and whatever is happening between you and them in this situation, is perfect from the perspective of Spirit? Now is the time to accept what you cannot change, even if it means that you honor yourself, Spirit, and the other person by moving on. Love unconditionally - for each of us is on our own journey, and we cannot direct that of another. Be aware that this relationship is indeed fated, and you are meant to evolve into a better version of yourself as a result of it.


PROSPERITY MESSAGE:
Your experiences concerning prosperity and abundance are beyond your personal control right now. You are being invited to accept "what is" unreservedly. This could be a temporary situation, seemingly thrust upon you by outside forces, but there is an underlying purpose you can't see that has been determined by the Fates. It could be a situation you are unprepared for, and you may not understand how it will benefit you in the moment. Do not fight the situation. Ride it out and see where it leads. Surrender to it, and the serenity you need to make good choices from here on out will be given to you. You will indeed flourish.


PROTECTION MESSAGE:
It is difficult to understand why painful things happen to good people. Fate is a mystery, after all. Yet what we do with our circumstances, the way in which we respond to life's challenges, is how we rise up to greet our destiny. Now is one of those times to be aware of your powerlessness to change certain situations and surrender to acceptance. Hang in there. Life will only get better. Act as if you believe that, for the only thing you can control right now is your attitude. When you align with the Fates, being mindful of what you can and cannot change, serenity will come to you.
