Good morning!
What a beautiful day! Blue skies, sunshine, birds singing - what more could you ask for?
I spent the day yesterday finishing my accounts for the tax man and it was so good to get them done - I say it every year, but I am determined to keep on top of my bookwork this year!
Today I need to catch up on some orders and then the next task for this new year is to re-organise my workspace and living space - and have a good clear out! I am such a order :(
The day is running away with me - it's almost 11am already, so I really must get on but first, as promised, here is a slideshow of some of the beautiful cards in The Answer Is Simple Oracle Cards deck:
I hope you find your message for the weekend relevant and insightful? I shall be back Monday with a change of cards :)
Whatever your star sign - have a great weekend!
Brightest Blessings,
Kaz

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:
Say “I’m Sorry”
Full Message:
The answer is simple: SAY “I’M SORRY” - Let’s face it: Your ego hates to admit that it makes mistakes, and it doesn’t like to say “I’m sorry.” Rather, it conjures up a long list of excuses and explanations for its poor and fearful behaviour. The ego ignores the impact it has on others because it’s too busy defending itself. Your Spirit, on the other hand, doesn’t hesitate to apologize for all the mistakes the ego makes as soon as they become obvious. It knows that we’re all students here to learn, and mistakes are an essential part of the process. Your Spirit also lives in the now and is aware that the best way to be present is both to forgive and ask forgiveness of errors as quickly as possible.
Now is the time to follow your Spirit when it comes to mistakes. Where might you have caused injury or hurt to another’s spirit? Where might you have spoken harshly, given someone a reason to doubt him or her self. Or dimmed the spark of another’s fire? Where have you stolen joy, felt resentful or jealous, or spoken disrespectfully about another?
Because we are all one Spirit, these mistakes not only hurt others and dim the light of the world, they hurt you as well. Follow your Spirit back to the place of injury and say “I’m sorry.” Keep your prideful ego from preventing this important healing. Every apology calls back more of your light. Apologize now - to others and to yourself.

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:
Decide the Outcome
Quick message:
The answer is simple: DECIDE THE OUTCOME - The greatest expression of Spirit is to fully embrace your creative power and use it. The ego denies that you have any and falls into the trap of feeling like a victim. This leaves you with a sense of being hopelessly at the mercy of fate and without choice. The Spirit, on the other hand, not only knows that it’s a Divine Creator… it actively directs your creative power every day toward satisfying goals. Plan your future based on your decisions, rather than dreading it based on your fears. Visualise how your goals will manifest. Expect good things to come, and know that they’re on the way. As a creative and holy being, intend what you want and expect it - now.
Taurus:
You Are Safe
Quick message:
The answer is simple: YOU ARE SAFE - The ego torments you with fears of danger and keeps your attention on patrolling the borders of your life, expecting an ambush at any moment. This is stressful and frightening and allows you no room to relax. The Spirit, on the other hand, surrounds you in a powerful and protective shield of light, alerting you to real danger far before it presents itself, and moving you gracefully away before it shows up; therefore you can relax your fears and allow your attention to rest. Breathe in deeply and recognize how much fear you carry. As you exhale, send the anxiety out of your body and replace it with a second inhalation of protective, loving light. You are safe. Your Spirit is formidable and can be counted on to protect you, so you needn’t fear a thing. Don’t allow your ego to steal away another moment’s peace. You are safe.
Gemini:
Say “Yes!”
Quick message:
The answer is simple: SAY “YES!” - The ego gets fearful and is afraid to commit. It holds back, hesitates, and doesn’t dare be vulnerable. It waits until it’s absolutely sure that it will be safe before it acts. The trouble with this approach is that the ego never feels safe, so it never acts - it only reacts. The Spirit, on the other hand, knows that the minute you hesitate, you miss the moment, because life neverstops, but rather flows - and it’s now inviting you to flow with it. You’re being asked to step into the flow, and you don’t want to miss out. Don’t hesitate - say yes to life and act now.
Cancer:
Say “Thank You”
Quick message:
The answer is simple: SAY “THANK YOU” - have you observed how many people are collaborating for your success at this time? Suspend your fears long enough to notice. Look up and see those who work tirelessly on your behalf. Recognize their quiet love and service that you so depend on to keep you safe, secure and grounded. Especially acknowledge those who attract no special attention to themselves, content to simply be of help. These quiet support people are your bedrocks, yet your ego has been too preoccupied with its own concerns for you to say “Thank you” to all who serve to make your life better. Smile and acknowledge the gifts they bring. It’s time to recognize those whom you rely on. Don’t take for granted the gifts of others - their Spirit is gracing yours, so say “Thank you” without hesitation.
Leo:
Take Bite-Size Steps
Quick message:
The answer is simple: TAKE BITE-SIZE STEPS - To live your Spirit, you must make changes in your life, some of which may feel too overwhelming or intimidating to initiate. This is just a ploy on the part of your ego to discourage your Spirit and turn you back to living in fear. Meet the challenge of living your Spirit head-on, but approach it with a plan. Break your changes down into daily, do-able, bite-size tasks. First, write down your goal; then approach it one step at a time. Do only one or two things every day to address your aspiration. We make changes best in modest, bite-size increments. Forget the sweeping transformations - this is much too threatening for the ego to allow. Sneak in small, subtle adjustments every day until you reach the goal. You’ll be there before you know it.
Virgo:
Invest in Your Spirit
Quick message:
The answer is simple: INVEST IN YOUR SPIRIT - The ego discourages time and energy spent on developing and strengthening your Spirit, calling it wasteful and impractical. Your Spirit, however, knows that anytime you invest in self-care, it will return to you a thousand fold or more in terms of happiness, peace of mind, and abundance in the outer world. Supply your Spirit with the time, energy, and support it needs in order to be strengthened and grow. There’s no more worthwhile investment right now.
Libra:
Dare to Be Happy
Quick message:
The answer is simple: DARE TO BE HAPPY - You’re beginning to feel the vibration of joy. This is a sign that your Spirit is finally breaking free from the prison of the ego and you’re reconnecting with your true Divine nature. Your next challenge is to be openly happy, even when those around you don’t readily appreciate, or even encourage, your joy. The ego is intimidated by this emotion because it has no power in that frequency. It prefers to keep people in pain. When you break free of its grip, it will try to lure you back by suggesting that your joy is false or temporary - or worse, that you’ll lose it, so there’s no reason to bother in the first place. Stand tall in the joy of your Spirit. One by one, others will become inspired by your higher vibration and begin to resonate with it, finding their happiness as well.
Scorpio:
Fill the Well
Quick message:
The answer is simple: FILL THE WELL - Your inner light is dim right now. Your body is exhausted, your emotions are overwhelmed, and your mind is working overtime… all of which lock your Spirit out. You may not even know it because your ego prides itself on racing on a treadmill of fear without a break. Yet whether your ego knows it or not, you’re about to run out of fuel. So guess what? It’s time to gas up and receive nurturing. Reach out and ask for love and support from others. The key is allowing others to help restore your balance. This isn’t the time to do it yourself. Your well is dry, and you need the energy of your soul family and friends to revive yourself. To receive nurturing ensures that the light of your Spirit remains bright. This not only helps you… it helps the world to.
Sagittarius:
Have Fun
Quick message:
The answer is simple: HAVE FUN - It’s important to keep the inner light of your Spirit shining bright in order to remain uplifted in a dark, negative, ego-based world. The best way to do so is to intentionally surround yourself with things that delight the Spirit in every way. Fuel your inner light with some good old-fashioned fun. Connect with any sounds, scents, tastes, textures, flavours, and friends that amuse your inner child. Step away from drudgery, duty, mindless tasks, and responsibility for one hour - or a day - and do something spontaneous or frivolous. Break from convention and routine, and do something out of the box. The ego disdains frivolity, yet it’s the most direct path to joy. Be frivolous. Lighten up. Have fun. Be silly. It will refuel your light.
Capricorn:
Put Others First
Quick message:
The answer is simple: PUT OTHERS FIRST - Presently your Spirit is calling you to make choices that will serve others’ needs more than your own. It may be as simple as giving up an hour at the gym in order to help your company finish a project, skipping a pre-planned night out with friends, in order to host a last minute visitor from out of town, or changing your vacation dates in order to attend your employers wedding. Whatever sacrifice you’re called upon to make, know that in the Big Picture, your willingness to do so is serving the greater good of all. The ego doesn’t like to be interrupted. The Spirit is flexible and adaptable, placing service to humanity over selfish interests at all times. So take it easy on your ego - and make it delightful for your Spirit - and expect disruptions.
Aquarius:
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.
Pisces:
Accept Love
Quick message:
The answer is simple: ACCEPT LOVE - As a Divine child of the Universe, your Creator fully loves your Holy Spirit. Moreover, your Spirit is pleasing to God and to those around you. Your ego doubts this truth. It whispers into your ear that you aren’t good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, or accomplished enough to be genuinely loved. This is a lie, which you must fight. Ask your Spirit to shed its brilliant illumination onto these dark and fearful thoughts. Breathe in and accept the light and love your Creator has for you. Let it chase away the shadows of self-doubt and judgement away.
