Daily Divination Cards - Tuesday 1st May 2012

Good morning!

It's the 1st of May already! Is it just me, or is this year just flying by?

Earlier, when preparing the cards for today, I didn't feel that my personal card 'You are Safe' was relevant, I didnt feel that I wasn't 'safe', I didn't feel any 'fear' about anything and so I was puzzled - as my daily card usually does resonate with me and is mostly spookily accurate!

However, just a few moments ago I received an unexpected email and suddenly found myself feeling very 'unsafe' and fearful! That is until I remembered my card for today... So I have taken some deep breaths and re-read the email and have let go of the fear, which is mostly likely unfounded in any case, and I trust that all will be well and that all is going according to the Divine plan :)

I really do like these cards - I haven't had this deck for very long and this is only the second time I have used them for the Daily Divinations. Feel free to let me know your thoughts about this deck and the messages this week.

I suppose I'd better get on with my work! Whatever your star sign, enjoy your day :)

Wishing you a Blessed Beltane,
Kaz

 This week I am using the The 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:


You Are Safe
 
Full meaning:

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. Danger has passed. There’s no one out to get you. Most of all, don’t fear taking charge of your life.

Just as there’s no one ready to pounce, there’s no one who’s necessarily going to save you either - not anyone outside of you, anyway. The safety you seek, however, is available to you—it can be found in your Spirit. It lies in your heart and is watching over you at all times. 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.

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:
 
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.

Taurus:
 
Speak with Love 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: SPEAK WITH LOVE - Notice the vibration you’re presently creating with your words. When you allow the ego to speak carelessly, it can stir up the emotional waters of others and set a tsunami of fear into motion. This destructive vibration starts out subtly but builds as it travels and most definitely returns to its source - you - with a vengeance. The spirit, on the other hand, calms the troubled waters of human emotion. It soothes fears with a sweet serenade of support, appreciation, and love. Your spirit is a beautiful source of Divine light and can heal with a few well-directed words of love. It is these messages of Spirit that will turn the present storm of circumstances into a peaceful lake of serenity.

Gemini:
 
Seek an Expert 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: SEEK AN EXPERT - The ego loves to struggle through problems on its own, refusing to seek the support and expertise of others. It likes to be in control and views soliciting assistance as a weakness that it doesn’t want to indulge in. Yet if you had a toothache, would you attempt to fix your own tooth, or would you see a dentist? If your car broke down, would you call for a tow truck or push the vehicle to your destination? The spirit freely seeks the support and assistance of others when help is called for, without hesitation or judgement. Don’t allow the false pride of ego to subject you to suffering through the present when with a little help, you can sail through the choppy waters of these times with grace.



Cancer:
 
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.

Leo:
 
You are Not Afraid 

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.

Virgo:
 
Rise and Shine 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: RISE AND SHINE - Begin today with your Spirit leading the way. Rise above the dreary outlook of your ego and let the light of your Spirit shine through. Release all the mental and emotional filters that ego has constructed in your view. No matter what happened yesterday, today is a fresh start. Begin the day shining like a sunrise at sea. Don’t allow your ego to dim your light within you. Let yesterday’s experience go, and shine fresh in the world. Only the ego holds on to the past. The spirit rises and shines and lives in the present time. It’s free from all that has transpired before. So rise with the present and shine your Spirit for all to enjoy…. Especially you.



Libra:
 
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.

Scorpio:
 
Take No Offense 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: TAKE NO OFFENSE - The ego becomes easily riled and takes quick offense at the behaviours of others, indignantly wondering, How dare they do this to me? The ego also likes to mull over perceived slights and holds grudges against the offending parties for long periods of time. This robs you of peace and perpetuates the false notion that others victimize you. The Spirit, in contrast, understands that human beings are emotional and reactionary and do things without realizing their impact on others. Therefore, it takes offense at no one, knowing that nothing another does is truly personal. The question the Spirit asks instead is: Why is this occurring? Why am I attracting this experience? What can I learn from this? The real issue is that you doubt your own value and therefore look to others to affirm it. Remember your Spirit and know that you’re priceless and whole. Overlook the offending behaviours of those who can’t see their own light, let alone yours. Choose to be peaceful.

Sagittarius:
 
Give More 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: GIVE MORE - Your heart’s desire isn’t elusive, nor is it out of your reach. However, it does require more from you to make it a reality. Don’t give up and walk away so easily from your desire, frustrated and discouraged by the present results. Instead, make an honest evaluation of your efforts toward realising your dream, and admit where you’ve fallen short. It may take more time, energy, patience, honesty, education, or assistance from others. It might take all of these things and more. Don’t be afraid of the hard work required to realise a dream. Nor should you be afraid of disappointment. Your ego deters you so easily, but your Spirit never gives up on a dream. Your Spirit is able to achieve everything you dream of, if only you’re willing to give your all. So do.



Capricorn:
 
Just Laugh 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: JUST LAUGH - It’s time to brighten your mood. No matter how sombre or intimidating life appears right now, don’t allow your ego to get too serious. Step away from the present situation for a moment and see the humour in what’s in front of you. Call upon the Divine forces of laughter, the great friends of your Holy Spirit, and ask them to help elevate your perspective with humour and mirth. Laughter is the voice of your Spirit.

Aquarius:
 
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.

Pisces:
 
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.
