General Reading for July 30-August 5: Full Moon Release of the Wounded Ego

This week the moon becomes full, which both prompts us to release and gives us the energy to do so. Like the tide rising higher with every wave, the volume on our Highest Selves’ connection to our current Selves is turning up, and we are encouraged more and more loudly to pay attention.

Pick up the phone, already. The message and messenger aren’t as scary as you’re assuming them to be. Honestly, your Highest Self just wants you to be happy. It wants you to act like you, to be authentic, and to shed your light in this world. It wants everything to feel delicious to you.

It’s time to let go of the things that hold you back. You have heard this message before, and you have done well shedding the layers you were ready to shed. The Death Card is just another loop in your upward spiral. It’s not some earth-shattering sacrifice, or some catastrophic event. It’s just you, realizing ways to be more happy on a level that you will be relieved to FINALLY feel the success of.

It is time to discard the drama. If your entire journey felt like a series of huge transformations, you would burn out and not want to experience it. The changes could feel scary as you face the unknown from a position of utter ungroundedness and uncertainty. This is one mindset you can definitely shed with this full moon.

The art of trusting the next step to be exactly what you need, and for it to be pleasant, if surprising, is a necessary skill for long-term success. Success doesn’t have to be fraught with peril and adventure; it can be slow, steady progress, with the assurance that all will be well, is well, and has been well.

This next step feels like coming home. It may feel a bit foreign from what you have experienced recently, but the gut reaction is, “I can’t believe I forgot how good this feels.”

This is next step is a homecoming. The people and places and packages and letters that collected while you were away are so happy to see you.

It is time to learn again how to receive in a way that does not feel like pain or paying for it later. I was thinking about how this feels like the Knight of Cups on his way home, carefully holding his precious chalice which he filled on his journey, and sure enough, when I checked the card spread again, we have Water Brother, the equivalent of the Knight of Cups.

The difference is that Water Brother depicts a surrender to full-body feeling akin to a Kundalini experience. There is this sense of unstoppable, glorious flow of energy. It purifies the entirety of one’s being, and washes away wounded ego as it proclaims to the world, “I AM.” This healed, perfect ego, is so large, so magnetic, and so prolific that the physical vessel cannot contain it. It identifies as Self, but looks and acts like Universe. It is a glorious paradox.

The longer you resist, the more blatantly you are shown that, step by step, you have come home to your true nature, your true connection to All That Is. Might as well just accept it at this point, dear one. We need you to focus on bigger things now, as doing so will feed not only your soul, but the souls of all around you. We are happy to have you home.

General Reading for July 23-29: Level Up

9 of Water, or 9 of Cups, is all about counting the things you have already attained in order to change your personal narrative. There is a lot here saying to let go of the negative stories you tell about your life, let go of any identities or boxes you’ve put yourself or had other people put you in. Your personal power lies in your ability to assess what you have and use it accordingly.

“Change the narrative, change the game.” What is your objective in life? How have you succeeded in it? Are you yearning for something new, and how have you been prepared to receive it already? Sometimes the skills we learned in one job prepare us for the job we haven’t applied for yet. Skills learned in a low-pay job can translate into skills needed for a higher-pay job.

The Magician says that you already have the skills needed, but maybe you haven’t categorized them as such yet. Need 5 years’ experience in problem-solving? Turns out you have ten, when looking at it from another perspective. Need a good reference? Look at your coworkers and previous supervisors and how you positively contributed to their work flow. Put your assets into play and be proud of where you came from. 9 of Cups in Rider-Waite shows a man with 9 cups behind him, celebrating his legacy in his accomplishments. 9 is the end of a cycle, an invitation to dream bigger now that you have accomplished this level.

Fear is what is holding you back. Fear, and an outmoded perspective that needs to be rewritten. This is a week for pursuit, knowing that every step you take leads you further along your path, knowing that even the steps that seem to be in opposing directions are leading you forward. Everything that is happening is happening to lead you forward, no matter how it looks. Contrast shows you what you don’t want, which helps you know what you want even better.

If you get overwhelmed, take some time to reconnect with your Higher Self. Find inner stillness and breathe it into your body. From there it will percolate into your life naturally. Everything is happening for your highest good in some way. Trust that and find the silver lining. You are succeeding now, you will succeed in future, and you have been succeeding all along. Your objective and expectation is the thing that has changed.

General Reading for the Week of July 16-22: Believe and Ask

I’m hearing the words, “uprooting a mountain,” and judging by the sheer amount of change that these cards describe (um, hello, The Tower), it makes sense. You are uprooting mountains of habit energy, mountains of misconceptions, mountains of disbelief. You are doing so because this is not the time for climbing or going around the mountains. Anything other than moving them out of the way simply isn’t fast enough or efficient enough for what you are accomplishing.

The numerology of this reading is very encouraging. Sometimes, when we look for confirmation that we are on the right track, we get inundated with 111, 1111, 123, or something along those lines. This week we are in 8-9-10 on the wheel, and the hub of the wheel is another 10. We have The Empress, and The Tower, and on the left the guiding card is the Master card for this deck, symbolizing the Warrior’s Journey to self-discovery and self-mastery. Whatever you have been working towards for the last several years, the Universe wants you to know that you are THIS close. All you have left to do is believe so deeply, and so purely, that you finally utter the words, “Mountain, move over there.” And when you do, it will move. It has no other option. When you believe and feel and act in harmony with all of yourself and the Universe, you are the most powerful being in existence.

This really is your time to tap into that God Source within you and perform miracles. You can because it is right. You can because you must. The Universe wants you to do what you want so badly that it has been giving you years of instruction, preparation, and gifts, in order to help you become the best version of you needed to do this. What you want wants you.

With that in mind, if you feel like you need something else in the moment, ask, and quiet your heart and mind so that you can hear the answers. But again, at this point, your own mountain of worry is what is holding you back, hence the call to move it. You have all the answers and resources you need at your fingertips. Go to the pantry, open the door, and take what you need.

General Reading for July 9-15: Embrace Your Imperfections

All this restriction you’ve been finding has been teaching you where you’re ready to heal. Read that again if necessary.

If you feel stalled, it is because you are getting ready to move forward. Much like placing a toy race car on a toy track in just the right alignment before pressing the button to launch it, you have been double and triple-checking your own alignment. Are you really ready? If you are just one hair’s breadth off, will you still make it? There is so much anxiety wrapped up in this.

Your doubt is placed in the wrong aspect, though. You have doubted yourself instead of doubting the interpretation of the circumstances you were surrounded by. In short, it wasn’t your worthiness that was in question, but rather the place of other people’s opinions and authority in your life. They claimed more weight than they ever really had, and you accepted it at the time because you didn’t know any better. I mean, you felt weird about it, but it was couched in so much other stuff that it was hard to distinguish. No wonder you take your time sifting through all the nuance; you want to see everything.

But you actually just need to trust your gut, whether or not you see and define that thing ringing your alarm bells. Your bells always respond accordingly. They aren’t false alarms, nor are they the full picture.

Listen, there is nothing that can truly tell you that what you deeply desire is not right for you. If you want it, go for it. If you go for it, expect it to work out and act as though it already has. If it doesn’t happen the way you anticipated, roll with it and keep believing. I’m talking about the things you desire that make you so happy that you forget what it feels like to be sad.

Which leads into the next point. There is a caution here to not allow guilt or disbelief to tell you to dwell in sadness. Your grief is real, even if it fades into the past. You don’t get anything good from holding onto it and dragging it forward with you. The loss is temporary. The love that allowed you to feel loss is always, always, always inside you. It’s okay to be happy AND have experienced grief. People talk about the difference between a victim identity and a survivor identity. Surviving means getting back into balance and thriving.

Be kind to yourself. This combination of blocks is the reason it hasn’t worked out yet, and clearing it is part of your process. You are not behind. You are fully supported and right on time for where you need to be. Not where you expected to be with the knowledge you had at the time, but where you really are. So keep expecting things to work out, and expect problems to be easily identified and dealt with when you are ready to address them.

It will be and has always been enough. You are able to proceed now, even if your trajectory isn’t 100%. Let’s go back to the race car on the track analogy. Each time you find something that isn’t working, you fix it and thereby correct your course just a bit more. So don’t let lack of perfection hold you back. You are really, really good at this, and the fact that you have come this far already is proof of that. No one who criticizes or measures from the sidelines ever truly knows what it’s like on the track. That includes previous versions of you. Grant yourself grace and perspective accordingly.
