Daily Divination Cards - Wednesday 29th August 2012

Good morning!

Very happy to be back on track after weighing in at my Slimming World Club last night - I lost 3lbs! (Richard lost 5lbs!)

Not quite sure how I managed it (especially as we had an Indian take-away the night before with Katie and Jeff!).

However, I did stick mostly to plan all week - even allowing myself the odd glass of wine, within my syns of course ;)

So, after another great meeting, being inspired by the weight-loss of fellow members, I'm looking forward to a good week ahead and hope to lose the weight gained over the summer to get back to where I was, so I can start to work towards reaching my target weight - maybe by Christmas?!

What a wonderful Christmas prezzie that would be!

Just have this weekend to get through - maybe a little 'tricky' at the festival...

Talking of which, I am expecting some stock deliveries today!

Crystals, Fairies, Dragons, some cute little witchy incense holders and some more of my own 'Menopausal Witch' mugs (because I'd sold out of those!) as well as some new mugs I've designed - I hope they come out ok.... I will post some pics when they arrive ;)

In the meantime, I have lots of Back to School gifts to make, so I better get a move on!

You can find your card and message for Wednesday below and - whatever your star sign - enjoy your day :)

Brightest Blessings,
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:


The answer is simple: DROP IT 

The ego lives in the past and loves to rehash its suffering over and over again. The Spirit, on the other hand, resides in the present and looks to joyful new possibilities every day. What is your ego dwelling on again, distracting you from the joy of the moment? Where is your attention - on your ego or on your Spirit? Are you focusing on the past or the present What old news of yesterday are you clinging to? Isn’t it time to let it go?

Your Spirit is beckoning you to drop the past and focus on the moment, where there’s a bright and beautiful present waiting for you. Pay attention to what is in front of you now. Notice the sounds, colours, feelings, people, and events of today. This is the day that will change your life for the better, and you’re at great risk of missing out on it - so don’t.

Look up: Before the day is over, you’ll receive a beautiful present… if only you’re able to notice what it is.


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:
 
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.

Taurus:
 
Say “I’m Sorry” 

Quick 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. 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.

Gemini:
 
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.

Cancer:
 
Reach Out 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: REACH OUT - It’s time to open your heart and arms and touch others with your Spirit. Your ego is putting up a defensive shield, having you believe that there are enemy forces out there from which you must be protected and withdraw. Your Spirit, however, knows that there’s no “them” to defend against - there are just “us” beautiful souls needing to be loved… and right now, needing your love. Your Spirit wants you to connect with others now. Unfold your arms, turn toward those around you, and reach out. Your love and healing forces are needed . Trust yourself to make a difference, and connect.

Leo:
 
Listen to the Music 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: LISTEN TO THE MUSIC - The bridge to heaven is music, and right now your Spirit is calling you to enjoy its benefits. Don’t allow your ego to diminish its benefits. Don't allow your ego to diminish its importance to your Spirit or cut off from its fuel - music not only regenerates your body, it also raises your vibration and fills your heart with joy and enthusiasm. Turn on the music to gain access to your Higher Self and the Divine Plane of inspiration now. Music will calm the moment. As you listen to it, the heavenly forces will work on your behalf to bring about joyful resolution and a peaceful outcome.

Virgo:
 
Reclaim Your Art 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: RECLAIM YOUR ART - Every Spirit is an artist, and without art, it has no way to express itself. Let your creative Spirit speak: Write a poem. Paint a picture. Get out the watercolours and make a card. Take a beautiful photo. Play music. Create a gourmet meal or plant a garden. If you’re comfortable in one art form, try another. Get to know your Spirit through your own artistic experimentation. Enjoy your creativity for yourself. Your controlling ego will try to tell you that art is a waste of time and has no value. This suffocates your Spirit and sucks the joy out of your being. Silence the critical ego and hear your Spirit through some form of art today… yes, today.
 
Libra:
 
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.

Scorpio:
 
Turn On the Light 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: TURN ON THE LIGHT - Look to your life with the eyes of your Spirit, not your ego. The ego points out your flaws; your Spirit concentrates on your perfection. The ego sees everything as your failure; your Spirit sees it as process and progress. The ego views itself as separate and alone; the Spirit knows itself to be connected to all and an essential part of the whole. The ego see darkness; the Spirit sees light. If you look with the light of your Spirit, you’ll clearly make out that all is well. Your ego can’t see past its own fears, so all appears dark. Your Spirit turns on the light and thus perceives the value of all your experiences - with it on, you can see that it’s all good.

Sagittarius:
 
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.


Capricorn:
 
Get Over Yourself 

Quick message:

The answer is simple: GET OVER YOURSELF - The first step to living your Spirit is to get over yourself, eaning get over your false self - your ego. It’s time to become honest and stop the doomed effort to posture and present your ego to the world as the real you… it isn’t. Thank goodness, because if you step back and observe for a moment, you’ll feel what a high-maintenance entity your ego self is - so high maintenance, in fact, that it leaves no room to focus on, or be much aware of, anything or anyone else beyond the most superficial level. Ask yourself, “Where am I not being authentic? Where am I acting instead of being real? What am I hiding or not revealing about my Spirit?” The world, and especially those close to you, needs the light of your true Self right now. Where is your ego blocking it? Be willing to get over your false self and share your light. This is required of you now and will be healing to all… especially you.

Aquarius:
 
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.

Pisces:
 
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.
