Good morning!
I hope you had a good weekend?
Richard and I had the weekend to ourselves and it was wonderful! Richard cooked for me, really delicious meals from the Slimming World Recipe Book, so we didn't go off our diets. (Well, Richard was very good. If only I had been able to resist the extra glasses of wine, I would have been good too, but I am still hopeful of loss at weigh-in tomorrow - I really want my 2 stone award...)
It was such a treat to be waited on hand and foot all weekend. I could really get used to this way of life ;)
However, the weekend's over far too quickly as usual and, as I was lucky enough to have lots of gift sales over the weekend, I have a mega manic Monday ahead of me!
After a very wet and windy weekend, it's a lovely sunny morning and I took Maisie out along the top of the beach, bright and early. Here's a photo of her thinking "Stop taking photos and throw the ball!"

Maisie is totally fixated on her ball - she's obsessed with it!

Bless her :)
Right! I better get on - so here are the cards and messages for today, using The Answer Is Simple Oracle Cards as promised. I hope you like them?!
Whatever your star sign - have a good day :)
Brightest Blessings,
Kaz

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:

Full meaning:
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.
Look around and notice where your Spirit is called to serve. Where is there a need to lend a hand? Where is there a struggle you might help alleviate? Where might you be able to empower others and help them remember their Divinity? Open your eyes and heart and notice your opportunities. Discern the difference between service and rescue, love and fear.
Don’t allow your ego to distract from true service and compassion by rushing in to rescue others without the intention or thought to empower them. 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.

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:
Blow Off Some Steam
Quick message:
The answer is simple: BLOW OFF SOME STEAM - Whoa! Easy now. Your ego is feeling threatened, so it has moved into “fight or flight,” filling your body with adrenaline, making you ready to come out boxing. When your body is flooded with this hormone, it’s difficult to connect with your Spirit because you’re filled with fear. In this state, you’re likely to make rash decisions, say things you don’t mean, draw conclusions that aren’t accurate, and overreact. The best way to reconnect with your Spirit and find the correct course of action at this time is to blow off some steam. Go to the gym and punch a bag. Hop in the shower and scream at the top o your lungs. Visit the seashore and yell into the wind. Make no decisions while you are riled up. Stay off the phone. Refrain from sending emails - no text messages either. Wait until you have clarity before you act. As your fear subsides, your Spirit will emerge.
Taurus:
Be Patient
Quick message:
The answer is simple: BE PATIENT - The physical Universe vibrates at a slower pace than the mental one does. Therefore, although it may appear that your Spirit’s desire is far away at this very moment, this isn’t actually true; rather it’s in the process of coming into realization. Simply be patient and know that the Universe, in cooperation with your beautiful Spirit, is working on your behalf. Trust in divine order and give things more time.
Gemini:
Detox
Quick message:
The answer is simple: DETOX - The ego accumulates negativity and holds on to it for a long time. It settles into the mind and body as destructive patterns, attitudes, behaviours, habits, and feelings. The more negativity you amass and absorb, the more difficult it is to sense or see the light of your Spirit. It’s time to detox from all of this negativity, to clear the inner light and let it shine once again. Start by cleansing your body. Stop eating heavy foods, sugar, and white flour or using alcohol. Tobacco, and other know toxins for the next few days. These foods and substances tax your system and place a burden on you, dimming the light of your Spirit. It’s also time to eliminate other toxic elements in your life as well. Are your conversations toxic? Are your habits? Is your thinking? How about your associations? If you aren’t sure, ask your Spirit and then feel the vibration of your answer.
Cancer:
Keep Dancing
Quick message:
The answer is simple: KEEP DANCING - Your Spirit is alive and well and making a healing difference in your life. You’re flying high and getting higher. Right now the only thing to focus on is doing what you’re doing. Your spirit is dancing with life, who is a willing partner. You’ll continue to see your success grow, your personal joy expand, and your abundance overflow as long as you keep on dancing with life. The more you dance, the more fully your spirit becomes embodied and the more directly it can lead you toward your goal. Keep up the rhythm and flow.
Leo:
Clear the Fog
Quick message:
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. 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.
Virgo:
Stop
Quick message:
The answer is simple: STOP - The ego is running wild with confusion, causing unnecessary stress and leading you in the wrong direction. Presently you’re at risk of overreacting to things and are making poor decisions. You may feel threatened, defensive, or angry or feel the need to try too hard to please others. No matter how this runaway fear is manifesting, it’s time to stop. In spite of appearances you are causing our greatest troubles, and no one else. Doing nothing doesn’t mean nothing is being done. The Universe will right any imbalance as soon as you stop making waves.
Libra:
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.
Scorpio:
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.
Sagittarius:
Step Away from the Crowd
Quick message:
The answer is simple: STEP AWAY FROM THE CROWD - You’re suffering from a case of to much talking, your own and others’. You can’t hear your spirit because it’s being drowned out by too many ego voices and opinions. No doubt about it - you need some time alone. Don’t allow your ego to deny you this important check-in with your Spirit. The more time you allow with your Spirit, the more time you will find for everything else.
Capricorn:
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
Quick message:
The answer is simple: DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF - Someone makes a comment that troubles you. Another misinterprets your intentions. The plans you make don’t go off as you wish. People aren’t cooperating and it frustrates you. Time is running out… It’s al so irritating that you ego can hardly stand it. Welcome to life. If it’s not one thing it’s another. The key is to remain detached and observe events as they unfold from the standpoint of your Spirit. Simply remain calm and don’t try to control what happens, especially before it does. Take life as it comes and enjoy it.
Aquarius:
Thank God
Quick message:
The answer is simple: THANK GOD - The ego focuses on lack and therefore creates it. The Spirit concentrates on the endless stream of gifts God gives us and thus creates that. This is because the greatest blessing the Divine bestows on us is the ability to create what we focus on. Pay attention to all that God gives and you get more; focus on lack and you get less. Thank God throughout the day and you will be blessed with abundance. Offer gratitude for being alive, for the opportunities at hand, and for your challenges and ability to find solutions. Give thanks for your health, your life, your family, and your friends. Show appreciation for your blessings before they arrive. Your ego can discover how to attract flow and abundance if it joins with your Spirit in giving thanks to God for everything to day.
Pisces:
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.
