Collective Reading April 14-20: Switch Gears

The solution lies within the problem. As with all growth, there are periods of ease and periods of resistance. You get to decide how to move forward, but the Universe invites you to choose ease wherever possible. More to the point, you can choose ease in every single situation. Coming up against resistance is a good indicator that you are in a new phase, but you don’t have to stay pushing at it once you recognize it.

You don’t have to be a martyr to be a good person. The path doesn’t have to be hard for it to be the right one. It just gets harder because we haven’t adjusted our settings to the new environment. It’s hard to climb a mountain in the same gear you used to coast downhill. Yes, if you are superhuman, you can do it, but you don’t need to struggle to prove yourself to anyone–including yourself.

You’ve come from an environment of self-doubt. Proving yourself to yourself has been a good thing until now, because it was better than buying into the lies. You can let go of that now.

What if you could adjust your settings immediately and effortlessly, every time your environment shifted? What if you could see when the terrain changed and confidently, accurately, switch gears at the best time? Your Higher Self can see these things, knows how to work the vehicle, and is happy to guide you.

This superhuman ability to navigate even the choppiest of waters is perfectly possible, because you aren’t just human. Your soul is so much more. And you can access that at any time. Consider doing it more often.

Remember to align with yourself before attempting to align with anyone else this week. Unify you, and you will harmonize with everyone else easily.

You’ve got this. Really. The Universe is proud of you, and cheering you on with authentic pride and love.

Collective Reading April 7-13: Confinement

If you expect things to go according to the usual plans, be prepared for disappointment. Thanks to Mercury Retrograde and the eclipse this week, we have the opportunity for a period of rapid expansion, requiring so much more foundation-building and introspection than we can perceive with the human mind.

Stop trying to figure it out from a place of panic. Let the answer reveal itself, like a seed sprouting. As it expands, it naturally unfolds and bursts through its protective shell. So, too, you are naturally unfolding to support your inner growth. It’s okay to let it happen.

This is a time in which your connections are rearranging. If you feel disconnected from people you would normally have an easy surface-level connection with, it is because deeper connections to Source are taking precedence. Continue being pleasant and acting in good faith, offering grace to yourself and others. Remember to work in silence.

The Mountain, followed by The Hermit, recalls the story of Moses going into Mt. Sinai to commune with God and get the Ten Commandments. This was after he had led a whole bunch of people out into the middle of nowhere. He had already had the burning bush moment and followed his passion to free people from a bad situation. He had already done great things and gotten a name for himself doing them.

Sometimes we think that enlightenment or healing is a one-time thing, that we just magically have the stamina and strength to do everything forever after, no need for further care. The fabled Dark Night of the Soul can only happen once, and if we are ever tired or unhappy afterward, we didn’t really heal. This idea is ridiculous. True success and longevity demand regular and measured periods of healing along the way. When one major project finishes, we must take time to rest before starting the next one.

The Sun rises and sets every day. Why do we not believe we must also set for a while?

If you are tired, build in some rest. If you are uncomfortable around people, prioritize alone time. Drop any tendency to please people by over-giving, and enforce some reasonable boundaries. Yes, if you feel you can commit to something, do so. If not, state your intent in plenty of time for other arrangements to be made. You are allowed to say no in a cheery and practical manner. Any shame or guilt that arises is surfacing in order to be cleared.

Now is the time to clear out the clutter and allow your direction to reset. Let yourself rest and imagine the next leg. You will have energy to move when it is time.

Much love to you. This week is going to be great!

Collective Reading March 31-April 6: Choose the High Road

This week is a crossroads in which your actions and where you put your energy really matters. Actions are what tell the Universe what you want, not “thoughts and prayers.” If you really believe something, put your money where your mouth is.

Half measures will return half results. Whole steps will give you the speed and distance you need to get to where you’re going. There are only so many eggs to split among all possible baskets. Now is not the time to spread yourself thin.

Sometimes you have the latitude to try a bunch of options, but what if your options are pulling you in opposite directions? Convergence is saying you need to choose one and commit to it. You have seen enough contrast to know what you want by now.

There is so much Earth in this spread, signaling not only the promise of abundance, but also your choice to go to a higher vibrational Earth versus a lower one. The timelines and dimensions of Earth are splitting in a very dramatic way. You have been programmed to fear losing people to this split, and your people-pleasing programming is activating as a coping skill. Know that you cannot pull yourself off your path to stay with someone who isn’t a vibrational match to you and still be well. Abandoning yourself for someone else will bring problems on all levels, to the point where you may not be able to function at all. That’s how wide the rift is splitting open.

Maybe you don’t feel ready for what you truly want. But you don’t get to the top of Mount Everest by accident, and you don’t survive in that big of a climate change without preparation. Trust that if you’re finding yourself in a position to climb higher, you have earned that position. You know what you’re doing, and you have what it takes.

Those you are tempted to follow to lower paths have also put in the hours to get there, and made choices accordingly. You don’t usually know whether they are climbing up or walking downhill, and it’s not your job to push them onto a different path or direction. Sinking to their level will not help, either. If they choose to go higher, they will do so when they decide to, not when you want them to. Don’t try to convince or force anyone to do what is right for you so they will stay with you. This only causes misery, and prolongs the process of spiritual growth. You cannot afford this delay.

Shining as your Authentic Self is the theme of the guiding card, and doing so knowing that you will leave behind anyone who doesn’t vibe with you requires trust in the process, trust in your soul family to show up for you, and trust in yourself. The rewards of this journey are so incredibly worth it, though.

Stay on your path. Keep doing what is right for you. You have work to do and people waiting to meet you further up. These people will never require you to make yourself small; rather, they need you to be your full self and show up ready to be part of the team. They will respect you and require you to respect them. True collaboration is the name of this game, and abundance is what you stand to gain through it.

Collective Reading March 24-30: The Key Is Within You

The theme of this week is personal empowerment. You have been accustomed to being limited and powerless. As people, we like to think that those who seek to control others are the only ones who crave that dynamic. When control is predictable, those under oppression tend to cling to it. After all, no one wants to go from the frying pan to the fire. No one wants to experience it “getting worse.” And so you let fear control your actions, and when control crumbles, you feel more fear.

Being “good” has been tied to being safe, while unpredictability has been associated with unspeakable horrors. There is no room for living outside the expected norms when doing so causes (more visible) punishment. However, the idea that being controlled is better than being free is an illusion, and couldn’t be further from the truth.

You asked for positive change in your life. You asked for freedom. Not fleeting ups to balance out the downs, but consistent and successive wins. And the Universe said yes.

It is natural to feel afraid or uncertain in this stage of growth. That doesn’t mean you are making a mistake.

It feels risky to put yourself out there and ask for the Universe to meet you halfway, but it is even more damaging not to. Your people, your place, and your possessions are waiting for you, so focus on being there for them to meet you. What shows up is what you are ready for. If you want something more, get ready for it inside yourself. What is yours is waiting on you.

The fact is that you are strong, powerful, wise, and capable. You can create whatever you truly want–and believe you deserve. The biggest thing holding you back now is your fear of seeing things as they are. When you accept what is, you put yourself in a position to influence the outcome. This relationship to reality is one of mutual influence. You can’t get to the top of the stairs if you don’t know where the steps are.

If you don’t have answers or solutions yet, get back to being present with yourself. All the answers are within you. Trust that they are perfect for you.

Remember that it is a very brave thing to come here to Earth with the intent to grow and transform yourself. The evolution of your soul is a huge undertaking. The work you do here is your sacrifice to the collective, and requires no further payment from you in order to gain adequate support. You deserve support just for being here.

You are the one who gets to choose your destiny. Get real with what you want and deserve, and take steps to get it. The key is within you.

Thank you for following along! These collective readings are channeled from Source to provide support, inspiration, and insight.

Collective Reading March 17-23: Keep Shifting

When a situation or problem seems impossible to move through, you are called upon to settle yourself. No clear way forward means you have not accepted the reality of what is. This is your first step.

I’m seeing a lot of cooperation, network, and collaboration in this reading, which means that your way forward is through connecting with others.

In order to have good relationships with others you must be available as a healed, balanced person. Unhealed parts stuck in trauma will bring more of the same relationship drama, so you need to wipe the slate.

Your trauma was created in relationship, therefore the healing must happen in relationship. This process is designed to push you out of victim mentality and into healthy self-empowerment, but it often feels like your kryptonite. Know that you are powerful enough for this healing.

I am reminded of the joke about when God created the Earth and humans to live on it, and after a while, Eve comes to him with a problem to solve. God, being this self-absorbed father figure, is pleased to have an opportunity to offer her something big and showy. Eve asks for equality in pay and rights, and for social justice. And God says no, that’s too big, and offers her a unicorn instead.

When we ask for justice from oppressive overlords who designed a system to be unequal, we have one of two options for how that goes: either they will offer something that makes them feel good about themselves, or they will flat-out deny the request and make the asker feel bad for even thinking of it. To get what you want, you would have to trick them into giving it to you against their broader design.

God in the joke is a deity made in the image of the oppressor, and not a reflection of a true creator-god.

Your big healing task this week is to de-deify the power structure that has kept you feeling like you’re asking for too much. Come back into your claim to equal rights. Come back into your ability to interface with people in a fair and balanced way that meets everyone’s needs. There truly is no natural injustice; inequality is not sanctioned by whatever gods created you, and you should never feel guilty for needing and receiving what you need. Stop settling for crumbs.

Understand that when you are in the process of negotiating with an unfair power structure, you will sometimes have to take the best deal on offer while you work toward better. But that is only a stop-gap until you are able to get more.

Be patient, and work on your inner belief in what you truly deserve while the manifestation of your previous belief plays out. The night must shift into daylight when you are moving yourself toward the Sun, but you may still need to take several steps through the darkness to get there.

You are meant to thrive regardless of what is going on outside of you. You are resilient, like a dandelion growing in the crack of the sidewalk. However gradual the shift, or however major, keep shifting, knowing that it will happen as you are ready for it. Do your inner work to be ready.

You will know you are ready when something good happens and you can say, “Yes! I deserve this.” Recognize what good is showing up for you and you will have less resistance to receiving it. If there is resistance to receiving it, be patient and observe it until you find the release.

You deserve to thrive. Keep shifting.

Collective Reading March 10-16: The Gardener

Your trust in the process of life is being put to the test this week. You may have seen the start of this last week, which may have thrown you into darker corners of your psyche, unhealed parts that are hurting. Know that every time you spiral into the dark with higher consciousness, you are blazing a trail of light to break up dysfunctional patterns in your energy.

If you believe that difficulty is the beginning of failure, then you will choose realities that reinforce that belief. If you believe that difficulty is the beginning of solving a problem that is ready to be healed, then you will have more trust in your own intuition, trust in your ability to handle whatever comes, and trust in the process of healing. Your mindset is the script for the plot. Better to play out a comedy than a tragedy.

The difference between a literary comedy and a literary tragedy lies in the ending. Both have seemingly catastrophic events in the plot leading up to the climax. The stakes feel high in both. Shakespeare’s comedies typically end in mass weddings. During that time period, they were a ritual of celebration that would bring together the whole community in love and cooperation. The end of your comedy revolves around harmony and union, as well. This could show up in making peace with your own shadow, or finding place in a community of people.

In a way, the stakes of your life are high, but it isn’t nearly as big as it seems when you look at the overall picture of your soul journey. You have been trying to find harmony and love the whole time, and for better or worse, this is the path to it. Trust the process. You’ve got this. Your team is here supporting you. It’s truly so much more doable than it feels. Lighten up on the reins and go back to trust when you find yourself feeling lost. If you don’t know what to do, or you have nothing to do, be still. You really can’t mess this up nearly as much as you think you can.

This knowledge might spark a series of actions testing just how far you can go to mess up your life, but if you stop, step back, and release the idea of failure, the positive energy you have already accumulated will turn your boat around again. Love is the antidote to the disquiet you’re feeling.

You are the Gardener, and this is your Garden. Allow the structure and materials you have gathered organize around you and create the life you want. To give you a clearer picture, the wheel of the card spread describes the steps:

First comes the idea of what you want, then the nonjudgmental observation of what is. Once you have identified a problem, you have the opportunity to come into acceptance and unconditional love. When you are in that space, you may till the earth. After tilling and preparing the soil comes sowing the seeds, then watering. Allow the wind to blow and the Sun to shine and the weather to change as the husk of the seeds decomposes in the damp soil. Wait. The seeds will sprout with nurturing.

After they sprout, regular care allows them to continue to grow. Weed out the plants that you don’t want and strengthen the ones you do. When mature, your garden is ready to harvest.

This is the structure. It encompasses both masculine and feminine energy in its cycles of growth and decline. It requires unconditional love, patience, empowerment, hope, discernment, and acceptance of what is. And at the end, you see the fruits of your labors and have a whole season’s worth of stories, experiences, and satisfaction.

Your life is the Garden, and you are the Gardener. You deserve this creative power and everything that comes with it. Enjoy it all.

Collective Reading March 3-9: Sacrifice Expectations and Be Persistent

Five major arcana in this spread point to some major changes happening. This is part of the path you’re on, and therefore, it is necessary to experience it. If you have recently gone through something traumatic, you may be processing old patterns and old hurts now so that you can reach for better tools going forward.

Because this experience is necessary, it is also doable. Lean on your support network. Reach out before it gets dire. You have learned through other intense periods that it is better to anticipate and plan for your needs than to find yourself stranded on a desert highway with an empty gas tank and a dead phone battery. You survived it before, yes, but it wasn’t pretty.

Maybe you’re not in crisis when you first start thinking of reaching out. Don’t deny yourself the help you know you need. Getting support at the first sign of trouble will keep it from getting bad. Denying yourself help early before was a self-punishment, a replay of neglect you experienced. You thought that since someone else didn’t take it seriously, your needs weren’t serious. You beat yourself up for needing and not getting. You know better now.

You know that you deserve grace, love, and community. You know that you are deeply and irrevocably loved–and worthy. You also know that sometimes a problem seems bigger than it is when you are too afraid to face it head-on. You can get through anything, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Avoid the big issues by attacking them when they are small.

If you are afraid of people letting you down, consider this: the Universe brings you what you need always, but you only accept what you think you deserve. And if the answer is no from one person, that’s a redirection to something better. Keep trying. Keep being optimistic about things happening at the right time, with the right people. Your insistence and patience in pursuit of what you need is proof that you are handling this better, and having more hope than before.

Regardless of how you respond, your response is evidence of where you’re at in your path. Any deficit is merely information on how far you are, like a point on a map. The end is the same, you are the same amazing person who is going to cross that finish line and succeed. It is okay to be frustrated or mess up. Everyone starts at the beginning and ends at the end.

You always have what you truly need available to you. It only seems like you don’t because you didn’t get what you wanted in the exact way you imagined it. Let go of what you think it should be, and embrace what is, knowing that there is always a perfect solution. You are capable of everything you need to do.

Collective Reading February 25-March 2: Play Your Part

Your ability to truly connect with others in good faith will be a highlight of this week. “My heart will love again,” is what I’m hearing. But what about your sacral? What about the roots you choose to put down now, knowing the sting of having them severed before? Expanding again takes courage, faith, and reliance on your intuition. You must learn how to trust yourself, take reasonable risks (involving deliberate use of all your faculties together), and be alright with whatever the outcome. Head, heart, eyes, and felt sense (among others) come together to give you a fuller picture.

When we experience a massive disappointment or betrayal, it isn’t the moment it happened that matters. It’s the endless time we spend afterward abusing ourselves, thinking every detail through and fitting them into a false narrative centered around how we went wrong.

Sometimes we encounter darkness simply because it is passing by. In a world of collisions and meetings, curiosity and contrast, we are bound to happen upon something we don’t like from time to time. Not everything we see is something we have to entertain. Sometimes we can let it pass through without resistance and say, “Wow, I am nothing like that. This is good information.”

It’s okay to study things we don’t understand, so long as it stays in its place. When we start to wonder whether we are the thing we saw, it becomes a problem. Your job is to stay connected to yourself and allow everything that is not you to provide the backdrop for who you are. You are not to explain yourself. You are to be seen shining. This is not pride but true humility.

The opposite of narcissism is echoism. Both are unbalanced extremes. Do not hide from the spotlight when it comes around. Stand where you’re supposed to and allow the light to go wherever it will, whether that is on you or not. “All the world’s a stage, and the people on it merely players.” Be your best self, and don’t worry about the parts of other players. You can’t speak everyone’s lines, and yours are irreplaceable. So, too, your role is uniquely made for you, and no one can play it better.

True versatility on this world stage means not depending on the position of the spotlight to maintain your position. No one is center stage all the time, and no one is in the wings all the time. We all move together as one cast, playing our separate parts.

The dark will be dark, and the light will be light. You can interact with all of it, trusting that what you see is accurate enough. Trust your judgment, learn gently from mistakes, and treat everyone accordingly. In this way, you can trust and love again, this time even better.

You were never wrong for having experienced contrast. You are here to explore everything and anything that contributes to your ultimate highest good. It will all end well; enjoy the play while it lasts.

Collective Reading February 18-24: Harmony

The Norse story of Odin hanging upside down from the World Tree to understand the Runes holds wisdom for you this week. It is important for you to get out of victim mentality and remember that everything you come across is something you can use.

An empath will first observe, then take on the pattern of dysfunction and its accompanying symptoms, and finally unlearn and overcome these, becoming aligned with their original Self once more. Empathy is a tool that allows humans to learn from the inside out, but where people often get stuck is in forgetting who they actually are. What was merely a mask becomes their identity. You were never meant to become someone else.

Everything you know about yourself through your experiences is not really you. Who you are is the remedy to the problem. Who you are is indefinable, which is why no words to describe you will ever suffice.

Instead of trying to explain yourself, try being present. Stop intellectualizing and start existing. Stop rationalizing your feelings and start observing them. It’s hard to listen when you’re speaking. On the other hand, speaking in order to connect with others is a valid way. Those who seek healthy connection with you desire to hear what you have to say, because your words have healing behind them.

Not everyone who wants to hear you has the best intentions. Some are drawn to your energy because they don’t remember how to access their own. Be choosy with whom you share what, and why. Craving social acceptance comes from a place of wounding, whereas enjoying the company of those who are happy to be in your presence when the occasion arises allows for people to come and go without friction. You always have you.

Maintain universal boundaries so that no exceptions can circumvent your protections. Boundaries without exceptions are the simplest way and will free up the energy you need to do what you actually want to do, which is to give and receive love.

You do not need. You have everything you allow. Remember to connect with your Authentic Self in all ways, while allowing others to be themselves. Harmony is not unity. This coexistence is a dance of many partners moving on the floor in collaboration. Enjoy this expansion of your awareness, knowing you are whole in yourself.

Collective Reading February 11-17: Alchemizing Grief

This week, we are realizing just how full our plates are. And we are invited to make choices.

You can’t hold everything all at once. You can hold higher and diverse perspectives, emotions… consciousness, essentially. Remember that emotional consciousness can either be focused and fluid, or it can wreak havoc by being stuck or chaotic.

What you feel, you manifest, and when you feel something, your brain starts to rationalize it. Unconditional well-being is the key to happiness. It seems ludicrous or insensitive to be happy when something is going wrong, though, which is why you justify it. And justifying it allows for counter-arguments, which then interrupt your well-being.

If you truly want a good life, enjoy a good feeling and let the rest of your life shape itself around it. Life is complex, and multiple things exist at once. One person’s bad day is another person’s best day, and it’s all about perspective. Your shoelace can untie and trip you, and in the next moment your coffee can be paid by the person in front of you who was catalyzed by love to cheer you up. You can either dwell on the shoelace or the kindness of a stranger. There is grace in having human moments, because the contrast gives us opportunities to love.

You can’t rationalize grief or anger away and expect them to disappear. To do so would be to deny yourself access to half of the power that you were born with. Everything that comes to you can be used for the highest good. To do that, love yourself and your feelings so fiercely that every feeling becomes sacred. You were meant to experience the full spectrum of emotions. Your experiences are your color palette in the painting of your life. How you use each color in your picture is up to you. You are the artist.

There are perfectly valid reasons to be upset everywhere you look. Understand also that the best day of your life can happen in the midst of intense suffering, because your mindset is everything. Sooner or later, the heavy things get too heavy to keep carrying, and you have to choose to surrender to unconditional love or face being pulled apart.

You don’t have to brace against having your arms rip off if you just drop the boulder. Your arms will naturally stay attached when the load you carry does not exceed the muscles and tendons. Let go of what you cannot change–and learn where it fits in the bigger picture.

Sometimes, the wisest choice is acceptance of what is, knowing that everything is okay and whole. Move with it. If you deny its existence, it will hit you. It’s like being on the ocean: you can stay on the choppy surface and only see the waves crash around you, or you can dive deeper and find the endless calm. Storms, while violent, are part of the circulation of fresh nutrients. Choose your relationship to the waves according to what feeds your soul.

You were meant for love. You deserve to write your own story, paint your own picture, and free yourself from heavy burdens. When life gets you down, you deserve to find the way back up, and when storms come, you deserve to dive deep and experience calm. The good and bad exist together because we live in duality. Denying the good will not make the bad go away. Embracing the existence of both removes resistance and clears your vision, and then you get to choose what to experience more of. For best results, choose joy.

Not only do I read Tarot for the collective, I also do energy work to help smooth the path forward. Tarot is valuable as a means of restructuring how we think about ourselves, our lives, and the world around us. But sometimes, mental clarity is simply not enough. Energy work helps to move the old patterns and old energy out, while bringing in fresh energy and reorienting us on our way. Sometimes the blocks to our joy are not something we can clear ourselves. Book a virtual energy session here and start feeling better.

Have a wonderful week, and remember to be gentle with yourself.
