This week' mini Oracle read was tossed using this lovely new deck, "The Herbal Astrology Oracle", that was so generously gifted to me by someone in our community, via our Amazon wish list. It is not surprising that the first card out here for this week is our "Rebirth" card. This week is all about transition. As we begin to talk about the transitions within self, this is all talking about the reawaking of things. Of our DNA, of our essence, but also of the soul within our vessel. Rebirth has also to do with the ending of something, but the beginning of another. You see on the card we have a baby being born, it is encircled and surrounded by protection. You are guided and protected, though this transitional state. You are being blessed as you can see by this little blue fairy on the left-hand side of the card. You also have the great divine mother, also embodying the divine feminine looking over you always. You are truly woven together by the essence of the Earth. This transition is a rekindling of your long but forgotten roots. She is weaving the roots and vines of the tree to form your DNA. She is accompanied by the snake of rebirth, where you have shed one skin and are proudly wearing another. Your divine protection through these hard times of transition is large and won't go unnoticed this week.
This goes hand in hand with the rise up of the divine feminine energy within you. You can see the powerful jaguar off to the right side of the first card. Its 3rd eye is fully illuminated and opened now. This is the beginning not only of your powerful divine awaking, but of your powerful divine feminine energy, that is not only balanced, but full of protection, wisdom, and knowledge. But this is also signaling it is your time to come out of the shadows now. You at one point were very good at blending in with your surroundings, almost making you go unnoticed. But you can see this jaguar's divine light is beginning to take hold and shine, quickly drawing the eyes and attention of others towards it. Your team is asking you to have strength and courage to step out of the shadows this week, and to begin accepting your destiny.
Now this brings us right into our second card, "Destiny". Again, the snake is out fully embracing its new skin. It is in the shape of a circle, which you may have seen on other tarot decks, as a symbol of wholeness and completion. This also speaks to me about cycles and the continuation of. I'm hearing "the roots run deep". We are also given the essence of As Above, So Below within this card, where the Sun and the Moon are working in balance and harmony. You truly have everything you need to grow beautifully and to bloom nicely. You have the rain, the Sun, and a good root system. You are full of abundance and bounty. Now while flowers are great, flowers do not come without planning and your team is here reminding you that regardless of the weather, you planted the seeds to bloom these flowers in faith. They remind you to have faith that you are on your golden pathway. You have all the tools you need; your only job is to keep going. This is truly something that has been in the works for a long time now. They are reminding me of a saying an old friend uses that goes like, "there's not a single thing you can't do". They are asking me to remind you that during this time of transition, that you should partake of the things that fill your heart. That these are the things that you are supposed to be doing. This rebirth is stepping in and owning your full you. When that occurs, you are also accepting your divine destiny and golden pathway.
We than have the "Ancient Memory" card out, which goes hand in hand with this divine feminine energy. Now that you have stepped out of the shadows, your star is fully illuminated. You are as connected to the Earth as you are to the etherical plane/cosmos. In one hand she holds Rosemary and the other she holds a wand. You are balanced in both. When you find yourself in balance is when they choose to flood you with memories and revelations that you will need in order to continue on your divine purpose. They are saying that they have anointed you and are welcoming you for the journey ahead. These past memories of this lifetime and many lifetimes lived before, are the blueprints that can help you navigate what is to come. They keep reminding you, that balanced connection is what will get you through. Connection to Source, connection to Sun, connection to your past. All three are embodied on this card and all three are needed in order to continue forward.
"The Love" card buddies off the other 3 cards, in the fact that it is you accepting your heart's desire. You stepping in authenticity, you embracing all that you are and continuing forwards. In this way it is not speaking of a love outside of yourself, but rather of the love you hold within yourself. They again are reminding you that who you are right now is enough. That who you are supposed to be is planned and guided by Source. There were no mistakes when making you, your heart, or your paith. This dove in the corner is to remind you of your divinity at all times. They are not promising an easy pathway, which is displayed by the arrow through the heart here on this card. There may be rocky emotional waters and you may have to go through some unpleasant things, but they are calling it all part of the growing process and necessary.
This week, your team is challenging you during this time of heavy transition to not only come out of the shadows, but to be in your authenticity. To do what sets your heart ablaze. To do what you are called to do always above all else. To find balance in the past, present, and your connection to Source/God/Creator/or Universe. Remember you were born for this.
