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

Collective Reading June 30-July 6: Choice Point

This week is about finding your flow, claiming your authenticity and your authority in your own life. As was your intention, you have done a lot of work to open up your gifts and use them for the highest good of all. These gifts from your Highest Self are meant to sustain you and the people with whom you associate. You in this body are an avatar of your true self, incarnated in order to manifest your divine design and contribute to the highest good of all. This noble endeavor is itself a gift to the Universe.

You have started sharing your gifts with others, which is wonderful, and now you have questions about what to do to flow sustainably. The Universe reminds you that you knew at one point that you didn’t know everything about the process of living. There was no way to really find out until you started doing it, so you jumped in–as you should have.

This experience is a process, and you’re doing everything you need to in order to be successful. Remember that you don’t need to know everything to be ready to learn. If you knew it already, you wouldn’t be on this path. Curiosity and observation will be your allies through this. Take the time to breathe and reset as needed.

The beginning of the process of learning is making a choice, as depicted in The Lovers. When you shift your attention to your choice and start pursuing it whole-heartedly, change happens. Things that needed to move in order to clear your way forward start falling away. Then, like finding the wall of a cage, you realize where you have been restricted all along. It can be difficult to process that realization.

Part of your process is letting go of things that didn’t work out, and mourning the loss of them. This is an important part of moving forward, but remember that the past needs to be left in the past so that you have your hands open and ready for something new. When you lean into gratitude for what you have, you will find more things to be grateful for, and more opportunities.

Making a choice is a powerful tool because your focus on it allows you to continue choosing it, over and over, and when you reinforce that pattern, you get the rewards for that choice. This builds into habit energy that begins to run itself so that you can focus on the next right choice.

If you feel that a choice is reaping negative results, go back to the choice point with that knowledge and make a new choice. This will give you the feedback you need to continue in a positive direction. Be gentle with yourself, knowing you did the best you knew with the information you had.

It’s all turning out well, so forgive yourself and move on. This next season is your greatest yet.

-Elihu John

Weekly Collective Reading June 23-29: Abundance is Yours

You are learning what it is like to be filled again. For so long, you’ve been scraping the bottom of the barrel on your energy reserves, money reserves, and every form of abundance. This was acceptable to you because you believed that having these things brought hardship or shame.

What really made you feel bad was not having the abundance, but rather the way people treated you when you had it. The jealousy, devaluing, and outright thievery you experienced caused you to believe that you would be safer if you just gave it all away. People-pleasing was rewarded with a lessening of the aggression. Eventually, you became convinced that you were always without, that that was all you had ever known. Paradoxically, these same thieves told you that because you had very little, you were less than them–as they flaunted your riches as their own.

A tool becomes dangerous in the hands of someone unequipped to wield it, and that is exactly what happened. Misuse and lack of wisdom created a worsening situation, until finally, you decided that it was time for you to step in and reclaim what is yours. Any honest mistakes you made couldn’t be worse than a deliberate abuse of power.

And that is exactly what you are doing. As you reclaim your rightful place, gifts, possessions, and relationships, you once again feel abundant. It may feel weird, and that’s okay.

Be patient with yourself as you adjust. Triggers will surface for you to deal with, but you have what you need to work through them. You deserve the abundance, and you are remembering what to do with it. It will feel natural again soon enough.

Thank you for reading. I post my weekly collective readings here and send them out to my subscribers.

Collective Reading June 16-22: Rectification

In order for something new to be created, you must first understand enough of what went poorly up until now to make different choices.

Not everything that happened badly in your life was your doing. Much like a child catching a cold in the first week of going to a new school, you simply were not prepared to fight off something you had never encountered before. How could you know what you didn’t know? How could you have immunity to something you had never experienced before?

The virus may not have been of your creation, but now that it’s in your immune system, it is your responsibility to get well.

There is no need to shame yourself for getting hurt. There is no need for blame. Tearing yourself or another person down for succumbing to illness merely adds insult to injury, and makes it harder to recover. Acceptance of what is and compassion for suffering are key.

It is tempting to be afraid of what happened to you or someone else, but fear is only useful when it catalyzes good action. If overused, it results in victim blame, wasted resources, and needless isolation. It is reasonable to wash your hands or wear a mask if you encounter illness. It is unreasonable to yell at someone to try to make them wash their hands or use a mask. Connection and empathy are antithetical to shame and control, and getting someone to do something up to your own standards out of fear either fails to work entirely or comes at the cost of the relationship. This manifests over time and is not easily visible right away to most people.

We as humans learn to shut down our perceptions because we are taught that seeing too much or pointing out what is wrong gets us in trouble. We learn how to remain silent, because we are afraid of the cost of failing. We have a lot to unlearn when we uncover our own intuition and spiritual gifts.

The gift of perceiving truth will ask you to sacrifice the shame and guilt you accepted so that you could fit in with people who wished to hide their own flaws. It will prompt you to pull back and tune out the voices of others so that your own voice is recognizable. The Hermit reminds you that there is authority in being able to hear and speak your truth. Being alone is sometimes necessary, but being lonely is optional.

You are creating light out of darkness, not because you made the dark, but because you have had the raw material to create light handed to you. Never underestimate your ability to alchemize darkness into light. Goodness is born out of the lack of it. You are the secret sauce.

This journey promises success and healing to those who accept it. Just as misfortune happened without you creating it, allow and expect miracles to happen when needed. You have everything necessary. Keep going.

Collective Reading June 9-15: Community

The theme of this week is learning how to trust in love. Old patterns of fear and doubt urge you to close off from community, but nourishment is found by leaning in to healthy relationships. You have enough tools to identify and maintain better relationships than ever before, and if you feel yourself lacking, you have the tools to learn new skills. No attempt is wasted. Either you win, or you learn. There is no place for shame in the Path of Grace.

When you make mistakes, it is important to take accountability for your part. But if you see what your basic intentions are, you can see every action in context. You know that you’re doing your best in a noble and difficult cause. If you have slipped into an unconscious intention to cause harm, and you feel badly over it, you know that you can pause, walk it back, and make another choice.

Your subconscious is driven by the need to protect and nurture you. It will find the most reliable tools for the job, even if they are not the best tools. What need have you been trying to fill? Remember Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Consider also Bashar’s Hierarchy of Needs. It is hard to give from a place of lack, and drowning in unmet needs will place you in lack fast. If you find you are struggling to give from a place of abundance, take some time to change your mindset before proceeding. Get back into abundance with gratitude, positive self-talk, and whatever other tools you have learned.

The Mother Wound shows up in how we associate with nurture and nourishment this week. Understand that your early experiences were tinged with the human failings of others. Was it your fault that your caregivers did not respond well at times? No, of course not. And when you have failed to show up with a perfect response, do you regret how it impacted everyone? Of course you do.

We are all working with a very limited perspective, a veil of forgetting, a host of big feelings, and loudly contradictory advice. It’s not surprising that we may fail sometimes. The best thing for everyone is if we take the knowledge and conscious awareness we have now, add compassion, and try again with more tools. You were not meant to be perfect. But as a human, you need the practice learning how to be with other humans. You have highly valued the impact of your actions. Remember that your intentions matter, too, more than you know.

The thing is, your intentions do not match everyone else’s all the time, and it is often difficult to define what is going on in someone else’s head–especially when you are on the receiving end of their actions. You cannot fix someone else or make them see things your way. Set a boundary that meets your needs, offer unconditional love wherever you can, and keep setting and enforcing reasonable boundaries.

Being in community with others who have good intentions and are working on their skills will bring up old wounds. It will test your resolve and your awareness of your own issues. This is by design.

You are moving to a place of increased peace, abundance, and success. Let the old wounds come up to be exhumed, get help where you need it, and remember that the negative feelings are temporary. If you allow them to pass through without resistance, they will fade and be replaced by the joy and successes of your more recent work. Earth Father acknowledges the seeds of joy you have been planting and tending to. If you don’t see the growth above ground yet, trust that there is growth underground.

It’s all coming together for you. Keep going. You are only beginning to taste the fruits of your labors.

Collective Reading June 2-8: Making Peace

There are rainbows and flags all over this reading. This is a confirmation of everything we are doing to stand up and be ourselves, exercise our rights as humans, and live authentically.

Wind Father has a special message this week: in everything you fight for, be sure you are finding solutions where everyone wins. There will always be differences, and championing your cause is right, but success comes in finding harmony. If it feels difficult, it is because you are coming across wounding, aka trauma, surrounding the problem at hand. While your emotions are valid, they may not be fully rooted in the present moment. Give yourself extra time and space to practice self-compassion this week. You’re doing a lot.

With movement forward, there can be a lot of noise. Your goal is to simplify what you can, tune out what you’re not responsible to fix, and keep going. There is so much possibility that it may feel overwhelming trying to pick one next step. The Chariot reminds you that all the choices you feel have potential will lead you where you’re going. There isn’t just one way to do this. Let someone else take the path that is most direct for them, while allowing yourself the path that makes the most sense for you. Again, being different from every other person on the planet is normal. Maybe the scenic route is better sometimes.

If there were no contention or disagreement, there would be no need to make peace. What if you stopped trying to make everything be something it isn’t and instead put your energy into doing what you’re supposed to be doing? You have enough energy to do YOUR job. Steve over there isn’t your problem.

Keep going. You’re doing the work to crawl out of the chrysalis and will soon catch sight of your beautiful wings.

Collective Reading May 26-June 1: The Devil You Know

The saying, “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t,” comes to mind.

You have done all this work to uncover the restrictions you didn’t know about, as seen in the Devil card, and now that you see them, it is tempting to run to other ones that you don’t know. This comes from a place of feeling inadequate, and hoping that any other situation would be better than this one. Trust that this exact set of chains are what you need to create success.

Life requires a certain amount of restriction to provide the backdrop for our growth, joy, and experience. You cannot fly without falling. You cannot gain without losing. You cannot create without an empty space to put your creations. Abundance is defined by lack.

Forget flying for a minute. You cannot even walk without falling. The sheer act of walking is described by functional medicine experts as controlled falling. Each step you take is an act of catching yourself as you fall forward. “Faith in every footstep” is a lot more literal than we would like to imagine it is.

You’re so careful and stuck in your head that you sometimes forget to feel. This week is a time to get comfortable with your reactions to seeing what’s behind the curtain. Yes, there are unpleasant circumstances that you were not aware of before. Most of them aren’t going to be resolved any time soon.

In some cases in the past, you could remove the problems. You could escape, and it was the right thing to do so. But what are you going to do when you cannot escape?

In times when it is better to stay and endure, we have the choice of remembering what the problem is or pretending it isn’t there. What option is going to serve you best today?

Discomfort does not mean life-threatening. Knowing the problem doesn’t mean instantly having it go away. The ability to accept what is until you can resolve it is such a power move. Once you dig in and get fully present, you will find the strength and confidence to do what you’re here to do. This is the way to achieve your desires.

9 of Earth promises the financial and physical abundance you’ve been seeking as you alchemize difficulty into harmony. Stick with it. This does get better, and the result is worth the process.
