Collective Reading July 28-August 3: Power in the Higher Self

This week we renegotiate our relationship with our own empowerment. From our Higher Self comes the call to remember who we are, and remember how powerful we are.

One of Fire/Wands is supported by One of Earth/Pentacles. This means potential for material gain as we continue exercising our personal power in the way that is aligned with our Highest Self.

Be aware that your intention energy is the key to really settling into your success. Your manifestations, or the things that show up in response to your energy output, are tools to purify your intentions.

If nothing that happened in this world mattered in the long term, what kinds of mistakes would you make as you fail forward?

I know that you are trying to make every effort a well thought out and successful one, but the truth is that perfect is the enemy of done, and getting feedback is the single fastest way to have the knowledge you need. There is a solution built in to every problem, and mistakes aren’t going to last the same way they did before.

Call upon your Higher Self, your guides, the Universe of Light, or whatever higher power you feel trust in this week. Ask for them to smooth the path before you, resolve things you cannot fix, correct you gently when you are wrong, and otherwise support you.

The Emperor is all about personal empowerment, so start naming the ways in which you are empowered. This brings your attention to a productive line of thought and calls more of it to you.

You’re going to want to rethink what you can give and receive. Are you feeling generous or people-pleasing? Are you feeling stingy or scared of running out? Identify fear-based decisions and step into courageous amd logical decisions. Be solution-oriented, affirming of your efforts and successes (and those of others), and keep moving forward in enjoyment and gratitude.

Obviously, this isn’t a time to throw wisdom away. 5 of Earth reminds you that wise generosity will put everything into order, whereas impulsivity causes stressful moments afterward which then block the flow of abundance. You have to keep pedaling the bike in order for the momentum to keep building, so if the answer is “not yet,” honor that. The pieces of the puzzle are more moveable than you can see at first. Connect them clearly, like the lines between the stars in the rectangle, and you will find that they make a thorough and easy to follow path.

Remember that there are helpful elements you cannot see, as the fifth star above the other four shows in Five of Earth. As above, so below. Do your own work, and ask for and allow your community to do theirs. It all adds up. Two of Water emphasizes the give and take of reciprocal relationships built on good will and generosity. Don’t write negative scripts for people that gunk up their ability to show up, just because you’ve been burned before. The people who are your people just want to show up and do their thing in peace. Let them, and then identify and express gratitude for it. Doing so will confirm your hunches about people, or give you new info that you can use going forward. There is no loss in this.

Lastly, have a great week, trusting that everything is working out for you in exactly the way you need, even if you can’t see how yet.

With love,

-Elihu John

Collective Reading July 21-27: Stubborn Love

There is an energy of plunging ahead into the unknown this week. We may feel like we as a world are repeating history. We may feel like it just gets worse. In reality, the intensity is rising, but not just one way: light and dark are polarizing.

If you just realize how the pieces fit together, you will see the way you can unlock your bright future. It is time to let go of the past, let go of fears and worries. They will be there, stronger than ever, if you choose to tune into them. This opposition is a programmed response to you rising into your power. Ignore it when possible. Holding your vision of a better way will draw that way to you until you merge with it in every aspect.

There is so much you are ready for. The belief that you aren’t ready is simply your reaction to not seeing the whole picture yet. If the road seems steep, take it one step at a time. You are not just climbing mountains; you are moving them.

It really cannot get worse, because of how you have grown to match the dilemmas you face. You have reached the apex of this experience, and any further worsening is basically threats to make you give up. This feels like a staring contest. Keep staring it down, and wait for it to back down. You have a great deal of stubbornness, stupidity, and tunnel vision at your disposal, so use it appropriately.

The end result of holding your optimism and acting on it is that you will be the dominant energy. You will create your garden of peace and prosperity because you didn’t stop nurturing it. Others may ridicule your growth, but what they call weeds are actually the medicine that the world needs. Keep embracing your wild beauty, and your thorns.

This week feels like finally being able to drop the weight of caring what other people think, so that you more fully embrace and use your power. Carry on, beautiful warrior soul. We need you just the way you are.

Collective Reading July 14-20: Shifting Higher

What a week! First, congratulations on all you have accomplished to get here. Your impact and power are bigger than you can see right now.

There are repeating symbols in this reading, which I will go into.

The first is the Sun. This is confirmation that you are on the right path. The Sun is often referred to as the ultimate “yes” card in Tarot. Even when reversed, or buried within another card, the Sun is a harbinger of success and joy. This symbol shows up in the actual Sun card, as well as in the card on the top and the card below it. You are finding multiple opportunities that feel right to some degree. Keep sifting through them to find the one you like the most. It’s okay to “date around.”

The second is the infinity symbol. Remember who you are. Remember that you are an integral part of this Universe, and that no matter what happens, your efforts matter. Always.

The Universe is watching your journey unfold, and it is pleased. There is nothing you need to do to gain love. You are doing enough, just as you are. Take the pressure off yourself to be perfect, to be better, or to be further along. You are doing enough because you are enough.

There is a lot of heaviness that you are processing through, which is why it feels so hard. Know that as you work through the darkness that seems to rise up to meet you, you are hacking away a thicket of thorns to get to where you want to be. As you work, stay in your peace. Stay in your positivity. The calm inside you will create calm outside you as you continue to choose it, so allow yourself to be well inside yourself regardless of what you see or hear.

Collectively, we are in transition from a darker paradigm to a lighter one. In these changing times, we are invited to become a vibrational match to the highest light we can reach. Once we have purged all darkness from ourselves, we will have no need to call lower vibrations home. That’s not to say it will go away completely. But it will cease to be the place you naturally go to when you’re not putting in effort.

Your home is the place where you feel the most comfortable and authentic, most allowed to just exist as you. You are able to interact with other places, people, and things, and will continue to do so. But these will not be as comfortable or familiar. At the end of the day, it’s nice to just come home and rest.

Your relationships will continue to need work this week. Make and keep healthy lines of communication, prune the ones that aren’t helpful, and remember that healthy relationships fill both people’s cups. There is no room for one-sidedness or martyrdom when we all have such a big purpose in life, so be sure everyone is benefitting from the relationship.

Fire is the suit of empowerment, and Fire Sister reminds you that you have more power to create the life you want than you realize. You also have many supporters. Keep going. You’re doing well.

Collective Reading July 7-13: Positive Karma

This week, we are breaking out of old patterns and seizing new opportunities. In the process of active change, your desires are more potent than you realize. The process of manifestation is depicted here.

In order to understand what you’re working towards, you must understand some key truths about your purpose here:

You were made for joy.

Your life is the solution.

Your perspective and journey in this plane of existence are necessary to completing the whole picture.

These truths have been described in previous readings, and will help you to recognize the next steps.

8 of Fire, the central card, is about multiple opportunities opening up for you, seemingly out of the blue. Choose the ones that excite you and align with your purpose. You have been asking for this and preparing your mind, heart, and body to be ready to leap up and grab what comes.

Remember that all must be done in unconditional love. Don’t let fear cloud your vision; allow it to give you insight into why you’re scared of something so you can judge what to do with it.

1 of Fire reminds you that when you are breaking out of a pattern that is toxic or no longer aligns with you, there may be some chaos until you set things in an order that works better. You may find that people who were comfortable to be around before simply aren’t matching up to your new vibration, and that’s okay. Honor their journey, and let them go. Everyone is on their own path. Sometimes these paths line up, and sometimes they diverge. If they cross paths with you again, it will happen naturally and can give insight into where you’re at–and why. The best action is to allow things to go their own way and focus on your own work.

Separation is an illusion. The fact is that we as a Universe are always, always connected to everyone and everything. You can never permanently lose what is truly yours, and you can never keep something you take from others. There is a part of you at a healed and whole level who has resolved every issue you face now. This is your Higher Self. Your Higher Self is a valuable resource to ask for help and guidance. Your Higher Self is part of your Soul Council and is in communication with your Soul Guides, who are present with you specifically so they can help you when you ask.

That being said, you do experience a very real separation, lack, grief, and hunger in this life. This is the contrast that teaches you what you do and don’t like. Once you have identified it, you can clear, retrieve, and heal it. This work is an important part of the cycle of life, and is the answer to the problems that brought you out of the experience of Oneness.

Your life is the solution to the problems of this world. All of us have come here to solve the part we can solve, and we are doing it by healing ourselves. One life at a time, one person at a time, one community of aligned individuals at a time. Our journeys are the harmony that make the music of the world, and if you listen, you can hear it resonating through you. What a gift you give to All That Is.

I love you. You got this. Keep going.

-Elihu John
