  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:

COMMUNICATION
 
Divinatory meaning: Are you clear and straightforward when communicating with others? Do you have difficulty asking for what you need? This marker reminds you of many things related to how you speak to the world and how it speaks to you. It asks you to be clear and to seek clarity in all communications between yourself and others in your life.

Perhaps you need to call someone or write a letter? Do you need to connect with someone you haven’t talked to in a while? Do you need to clarify something that remains cloudy between you and another? Drawing this marker indicates that it’s timely to do so, for communication at this moment is highlighted in all areas of your life

This card notes that communication is not just between human beings. Your spirit guides, angels and other helpers on your path are always trying to get your attention. Are you open to their messages? Ask and you will know, look and you will see, listen and you will hear, sense and you will feel.
Communication is not just about talking at something or someone. In Avalon, the sacred wisdom is gained by developing receptivity and learning to listen.



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 OWL - deception, wisdom 

Quick reading: The Owl lends you eyes that you need in order to see in the dark around you. Watch for deception by others. Be honest with yourself and snap out of any lies and denial inside you. All is well with the Owl to guide you. Deep wisdom into human nature is gained through the ability to recognize untruths. Owl is an important and powerful ally.

Taurus:
 
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.

Gemini:
 
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.


Cancer:
 
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.

Leo:
 
THE FIRE FAERY - creative action, optimism 

Quick reading: The Fire Faery sparks ideas into action. She rules the flame of creativity and encourages you to move quickly. She is also the voice of happy optimism, showing you signs, signals and happy omens to support your dreams. The Fire Faery gives you hope and courage and ensures your dreams will come true if you simply act on them.

Virgo:
 
THE BEE - luck, industriousness, sweet victory 

Quick reading: With hard work and a firm commitment to building your dream, a sweet outcome is assured. The Bee is a symbol of luck, so expect miracles and your life will be victorious and sweet. The Bee is an industrious, busy creature that’s always making honey. The Bee “gets busy,” and that honey will soon be yours. The Bee is always a fortunate omen.


Libra:
 
THE DRAGON - Power, strength 

Quick reading: The Dragon comes to offer you its power and strength, to protect and fortify you on this leg of your journey. The Dragon symbolizes true power and reminds you that this infinite source is not found within your personality or ego. Watch for a signal - the Dragon always makes the next step clear, and gives you the power to take it.

Scorpio:
 
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.

Sagittarius:
 
THE WASP - anger, retaliation, jealousy 

Quick reading: Be mindful of how you address the world when Wasp appears. If you’re not careful you may sting or be stung. Don’t waste your stinger on a petty quarrel. Are you jealous or envious, or the victim of someone who is? Send love, light and compassion, and stay clear of the sting. The Wasp sends an omen of warning to protect yourself as well.


Capricorn:
 
JOY
 
Quick reading: This marks a time for celebration, for this portends the joyous completion of a project, the attainment of a goal, or the end of a long and arduous journey. Like the spring sun breaking through after a long and gloomy winter, joy reminds us to be grateful for all the gifts of life. Joy bestows the blessings of happiness. You truly have reason to smile when this marker appears on your path.

Aquarius:
 
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.

Pisces:
 
THE DOG - loyalty, sincerity, unconditional love 

Quick reading: The Dog is the most loyal animal to human beings. When Dog appears on your path, he reminds you of this trait. Are you steadfast with your loved ones? Are you true to yourself and your dreams? Do you act with sincerity? It's very important to do so now, for good fortune comes with the faithful Dog as your companion.
