Daily Divination Cards - Monday 9th January 2012

Good morning!

I can't believe that the last time I wrote my blog was a month ago - on the 9th of December...

I do apologise for being away for so long. December was so busy for me, I was very lucky to have loads of orders coming in nonstop, but it meant very long, tiring days working, and very little rest or sleep - and then when the Christmas orders stopped - so did I. I was exhausted and found it difficult to get going again. As someone put it, my "get up and go got up and went!"

However, after a much-needed break (and the arrival of a new deck of Oracle cards!) I'm back!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year? I certainly did. Good times spent with family and friends - with lots of eating, drinking and general merriment :)

Unfortunately I put on 5lbs over Christmas and New Year, but I'm back at Slimming World and very motivated to continue losing weight slowly and steadily, as I am determined to lose at least 3 stone this year! (Just one of my New Year resolutions... Have you made any?)

Well, as I mentioned, I have just got a new deck of Oracle cards - which I am going to use this week. They are called The Answer Is Simple Oracle Cards and I decided to treat myself as they were only £7.07 including postage and packaging, through Amazon.co.uk, which I thought was very good! (They are available through Amazon.com too!)

Not all Oracle card decks are suitable for doing this blog, but these look quite promising, so we'll see how they go. I think they are lovely cards, very positive and uplifting. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think of them too.

This is a picture of the guide book included with the cards:

This is the image on the back of the cards:




I shall put up a slideshow of some of the cards in the deck later in the week, in the meantime, let's get on with the cards and messages for Monday!

Whatever your star sign - have a wonderful day :)

Brightest Blessings,

This week I am using theThe Answer Is Simple Oracle Cards
by Sonia Choquette 
Quoted from the pack: "These Oracle cards provide immediate access to your divine Spirit, where you receive specific guidance for any and all challenges facing you in life. Each card not only offers direction for particular proplems, it also reinforces the path to your Higher Self, freeing you from the turbulence and fear of the ego plane.

You can use this deck (and the accompanying guide book) for specific direction, meditation, and life and purpose readings and to offer guidnace to others; as well as to connect to your Divine Self, where drama and stress give way to joy and inner peace.




My personal card for today:



Clear the Fog

Full meaning:

The answer is simple: CLEAR THE FOG - Life looks a bit foggy now, and your ego is distorting the truth. It’s time to summon the pure heart of your Spirit so that you’re correctly informed. The first step to clearing away the confusion is to take nothing personally. Stay aware, and learn as much as you can. Listen closely, observe the details, and be on guard for a tendency to interpret things from an overly emotional point of view, especially when it comes from the behaviour of others.

Next, ask your Spirit to be clear on what you want from those around you, and say so - with love. Express your clear heart without being overly emotional or vague. Allow your Spirit to speak for you, breathing calmly as you do and expecting the best. The fog will lift, and the pollution of the present will clear.




Today's cards for each of the star signs:
 
Due to lack of time, etc. These are the 'quick reading' messages - for the full reading and meaning of the cards you will need to obtain these cards for yourself - or get someone else to buy them for you as a gift!




Here are your messages and insights for today. Try to sit quietly for a few moments, meditate on your card and think about how you can learn from, and act upon, its message...

Aries:
 
Reach Out 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: REACH OUT - It’s time to open your heart and arms and touch others with your Spirit. Your ego is putting up a defensive shield, having you believe that there are enemy forces out there from which you must be protected and withdraw. Your Spirit, however, knows that there’s no “them” to defend against - there are just “us” beautiful souls needing to be loved… and right now, needing your love. Your Spirit wants you to connect with others now. Unfold your arms, turn toward those around you, and reach out. Your love and healing forces are needed . Trust yourself to make a difference, and connect.

Taurus:
 
Create 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: CREATE - Right now it’s time to summon your creative Spirit and put it to work. Look beyond current circumstances and use the power within to create new ones. There’s more to your world than the present is offering, and your Spirit is eager to fashion something different. You’re stuck in a rut, and your ego would have you believe that what you see now is all there is. This isn’t true, and it’s time to break free from the drudgery and boredom that the same-old, same-old offers. Once you decide to get creative, your Spirit will assist in the fun. You have nothing to lose but the boredom and dissatisfaction you’re experiencing now.

Gemini:
 
Take a Breather 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: TAKE A BREATHER - Your ego is making you overwork. Remember that it will never be fully satisfied with what you accomplish and will always create the feeling that you must do more. Right now the best way to reconnect with your Spirit is to step back and catch your breath. Although it may feel as though life will fall apart if you do this, that’s not true. You’ll simply disconnect from the false urgencies of the ego and realign with a higher vibration. Once reconnected to your Spirit, you’ll find that there’s always more than enough time to do what’s important. To take a breather is to have faith in the Divine order of life, God is in charge, so you don’t have to work overtime.



Cancer:

You Are Not Afriad 
 
Quick message:

The answer is simple: YOU ARE NOT AFRAID - The ego is always in fear, so it becomes a habit to b afraid in life even when you’re not. As you face present conditions, ask yourself, Am I really scared? And if so, then of what? Listen to your Spirit for the answer. Don’t be surprised to discover that you’re not really afraid at all - you’re just in the habit of believing that you should be. Get past the habit of fear and dive into your new adventure with confidence. Stop fearing and start enjoying the fact that you’re not really afraid after all.

Leo:
 
Clean Up Your Mess 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: CLEAN UP YOUR MESS - The ego is a prideful entity and doesn’t want to acknowledge that it can be hurtful or cause injury. Because of that, it can do great damage again and again. In fact, the ego can be so self-involved that it may not even be aware that it’s causing trouble, other than to notice the distancing, rejection, anger and sadness that it invokes in others. As you can see, the ego causes damage to others’ Spirits. Therefore, this not only hurts them, it hurts your Spirit as well. This is a time to rein in your ego and set things right. What pain has yours inflicted lately, whether on others or yourself? All things can be healed if only you’re willing to clean up the mess you’ve made of them.

Virgo:
 
Lend a Hand 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: LEND A HAND - The greatest expression of Spirit is to love and serve others, and your Spirit is now called upon to do so. Don’t mistake service with rescue: To serve is an act of great spiritual power, born of love and focused on empowering others; rescue, on the other hand, is born of a fearful ego and keeps both you and others enslaved to weakness. Simply do your part to help those around you become stronger in their Spirit, without judgement or criticism. To serve is to rule, and your service is needed now.



Libra:

Say “No!” 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: SAY “NO!” - The ego is exposing you to behaviours and circumstances that aren’t in your best interest. It’s keeping you from being self-loving and honoring your Spirit. Be aware of these toxic conditions, and say no to them. Examine the circumstances you face now and recognize which choices brought you where you are. Then say no to the negative and toxic ones. Love and value your Spirit enough to reject what doesn’t serve you. Divine forces will help you once you decide to love yourself enough to firmly say “No!”

Scorpio:
 
Connect with Your Soul Family 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: CONNECT WITH YOUR SOUL FAMILY - This isn’t the moment to attempt things alone. Your Spirit is isolated and needs extra support and energy. It’s time to convene with kindred Spirits - contact those who genuinely know you, love you, and deeply appreciate your Spirit. Time spent with your soul family will allow you to remember what’s most important to your Spirit right now, and the added support is essential to your success.

Sagittarius:
 
Turn On the Light 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: TURN ON THE LIGHT - Look to your life with the eyes of your Spirit, not your ego. The ego points out your flaws; your Spirit concentrates on your perfection. The ego sees everything as your failure; your Spirit sees it as process and progress. The ego views itself as separate and alone; the Spirit knows itself to be connected to all and an essential part of the whole. The ego see darkness; the Spirit sees light. If you look with the light of your Spirit, you’ll clearly make out that all is well. Your ego can’t see past its own fears, so all appears dark. Your Spirit turns on the light and thus perceives the value of all your experiences - with it on, you can see that it’s all good.




Capricorn:
 
Look Forward

Quick message:

The answer is simple: LOOK FORWARD - The ego looks backward and wallows in regret; the spirit looks forward with excitement and wonder. The ego looks down and sees few options; the Spirit looks up and perceives endless possibilities. The ego looks for problems and views itself as a victim; the Spirit seeks out solutions and sees itself as a genius. There’s nothing blocking you except the ego habit of limiting your own view. Glance up and you’ll see doors opening to you. You’re free from the past, so don’t look back anymore. Peer ahead with the light heart of your Spirit. You’ll be delighted by what you see.

Aquarius:
 
Be Courageous 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: BE COURAGEOUS - Your ego is intimidated and wants to run away from the challenge at hand. It will offer any number of arguments to justify its fear and to tell you why you should quit now, none of which are valid. It’s okay to be afraid just as long as you don’t allow your fear to stop you from living the truth of your Spirit. Overcoming it is easier that you think: Simply admit that you’re scared. This emotion is normal. The human condition is always fearful. It’s the Divine part of you, your Spirit, that’s fearless. It’s courageous because it knows that the Universe supports you all the way. Breath is Spirit. When you inhale deeply, it gives way to courage. Summon yours by drawing in your Spirit. You’re protected, so breathe and stay the course.

Pisces:
 
Drop It 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: DROP IT - The ego lives in the past and loves to rehash its suffering over and over again. The Spirit, on the other hand, resides in the present and looks to joyful new possibilities every day. What is your ego dwelling on again, distracting you from the joy of the moment? Where is your attention - on your ego or on your Spirit? Are you focusing on the past or the present What old news of yesterday are you clinging to? Isn’t it time to let it go? This is the day that will change your life for the better, and you’re at great risk of missing out on it - so don’t. Look up: Before the day is over, you’ll receive a beautiful present… if only you’re able to notice what it is.
