Weekend Divination Cards - Friday 11th May 2012

Good morning!

The day has started off with sunshine! Something we haven't seen a lot of lately - and the forecast for the weekend is actually quite good, which makes a nice change. I might actually start to tackle the jungle - I mean garden - this weekend... but then again... I hate gardening... lol

Richard and I had a great time again last night, at our dancing class. We can now do the Rumba, the Cha Cha Cha, the Social Foxtrot and a 'Slow Rock Jive'! Well sort of! We have lots of fun anyway and I am very proud of us :)

Richard is treating me to a pair of proper dance shoes and I have just ordered them!

I've chosen these purple ones - aren't they gorgeous?! (Can you tell that I'm excited?)

Just call me Twinkle Toes ;)

I'm still waiting for my stock delivery - which is so frustrating - but I have a lot to keep me busy in the meantime, including making last minute costumes for me and Richard, as we've been invited to a 'Spartacus' themed party tomorrow! We weren't going to go in costume but have been persuaded to dress up. The others have been working on their outfits for a few weeks and I have just 2 days to put something together! (And have to work one of those days!)

It's all good fun though :)

Whatever your star sign - I hope you have a fun weekend too!

Brightest Blessings,
Kaz

 This week I am using the The Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Cards

by Collette Baron-Reid

Quoted from the pack: "The Wisdom of Avalon Oracle Cards by Colette Baron-Reid is a 52 card divination system - an inspirational tool to bridge the unseen world of Spirit and the physical world of our day-to-day lives. Based on the rich mythology of ancient Britain's Isle of Avalon and the wisdom teachings of its priestesses, these cards (and the accompanying guidebook) will help you find valuable and powerful insights in all aspects of life as you chart your path and manifest your destiny with clarity and purpose."


My personal card for today:


THE COW - nourishment, abundance, asking, receiving
Divinatory meaning: The Cow says, “Take my milk; I can always feed you. I’ll eat the grass of the God/Goddess and, in turn, pass good fortune on to you. Nourishment is never-ending when I appear on your path. Don’t forget to till the soil so that grass may grow. Abundance is made manifest out of a universal system. Do your part, and I will do mine with joy. Ask, and you will receive all the blessings I have to offer.

The Cow reminds you that there is no shortage of blessings in the world. Ask to partake in infinite abundance, and you will, indeed, get exactly what you need.



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:
 
THE STAG - pride, leadership 
 
Quick reading: Take pride in all you do. Be the leader and hold your head high and others will follow by your example. Always ask yourself "what is the highest good for all?" The Stag leads you into the kind of pride that reminds you that you’re always in service to the God/Goddess in every step you take. You may already be there, in which case you should be proud and happy. Look how far you’ve come! Rejoice, for the Stag always leads you to a higher place with a sure and steady footing.

Taurus:
 
THE GOBLIN - the wounded human ego 

Quick reading: When the Goblin appears on your path, your plans are, or are about to go, awry. It's time to stop what you're doing and check your motives. Are you coming from an ego-centered place? Are the circumstances in your life triggering unresolved past issues that still need healing? Now is the time for self-evaluation and taking inventory, before you take another step.

Gemini:
 
PARTNERSHIP
 
Quick reading: You’re put on notice to seek connection in all things. When you receive the blessings of Partnership on this part of your journey, it's a sign that the object of your inquiry may indeed give you what you need. It's a portent of opportunity, where the partnership exceeds the potential of the individual. It's a very auspicious omen.


Cancer:
 
THE SERPENT - knowledge, healing 
 
Quick reading: The Serpent's message is one of healing and of gaining knowledge. Whatever situation you're in right now is meant for this purpose. Perhaps it is time to read a book or take a class in order to gain more understanding of your enquiry, or you may need to ask questions of others who 'know' and can help you. Perhaps you need to rest, meditate and allow the knowledge to come to consciousness. Or maybe you just need to sleep more.

Leo:
 
THE NOVICE - innocence, beginner, ignorance, new skill without practice, unstable curiosity 

Quick reading: Innocence, naiveté, foolishness, early knowledge, not yet integrated, the ability to see the world untainted, and learning ability - these are the aspects of the Novice as she appears in your life. The Novice is reminding you to be teachable and humble. If you don't know something, don't pretend that you do. Chances are that you will make and error that may cost you more than you wish to pay. New information is coming, and this is the time to be open to learning and expanding.

Virgo:
 
THE DEER - gentleness, diplomacy 

Quick reading: When the Deer appears, it’s a reminder for you to step gently on the path, for you’re walking into a time when gentle movements and diplomacy are required. It’s important that you be gentle with yourself as well. Blend your personal energy with Deer's energy of gentleness and diplomacy. Walk softly and the way forward will be smooth. And remember... never mistake gentleness for weakness in yourself or in others.


Libra:
 
THE HIGH PRIESTESS - discernment, prescience, prophecy, vision 

Quick reading: When the High Priestess appears before you, she asks you to trust your intuition and throw the net of your awareness out into the world around you, pulling in truths that may defy your intellect, rational mind, or what others wish to falsely or superficially portray. The High Priestess reminds you of the feminine principle of receptivity, gathering power by receiving information and waiting for others to act first. The goddess blesses and protects you when the High Priestess of Avalon appears on your path.

Scorpio:
 
THE MERLIN - alchemy, justice, balance
 
Quick reading: The Merlin is the messenger of initiation and alchemy and is both the Magician and the High Priest. The Merlin says "You have all you need to move forward. Rejoice that all the elements you require for success are indeed present!" You are given notice that, when it comes to your life and it’s purpose, the magical aspect of the Merlin can be summoned to help you find an answer within you. Remember, all signs and omens sent by the Merlin are but reflections of that which is within you already.

Sagittarius:
 
THE QUEEN - woman, fertility, feminine power, sexuality, friendships
 
Quick reading: Fertility, beauty, female sexual energy, earthly pleasures, and friendships among women - the Queen summons you to bestow her gifts upon you so that you can revel in the beauty of life. The Queen appears to remind you of the importance of self-esteem, self-worth, and holding your head high. Now is the time to set boundaries with others with gentle authority, yet try not to be isolated from them in the process. The Queen knows how to delegate authority when she needs to. Summon your inner Queen and ask for what you need.


Capricorn:
 
THE SWAN - transformation, trusting psychic gifts 
 
Quick reading: This card represents a transformation from one state to another. This signals a period of growth that will ultimately be life-changing. It also reminds you to trust your intuition and psychic gifts to guide you through the process of wonderful and ultimate change. The Swan reminds you to see with your heart and listen with your spirit… and the whole world can be magically transformed.

Aquarius:
 
THE BARD - music, poetry, myth, history, the enchantment of storytelling 

Quick reading: When the Bard appears, you're asked to seek answers in your personal history. Go back into your own story and find the threads of the patterns in your reality, and trace their length to the present. Perhaps you'll be surprised by how much of your past, or that of your ancestors, still weaves its influence on you today.

Pisces:
 
THE BUTTERFLY - beauty
 
Quick reading: When you see the Butterfly, know that the power of beauty is in your life. Today, look for the loveliness even in the darkest places, and you’ll be amazed. All of the Mystery is beautiful. Beauty is everywhere. You just have to open your eyes. The next step can only be achieved if you do this today. Someone may give you something beautiful today. Remember to be grateful.
