The Eight of Cups

The Eight of Cups   February 19th-28th Pisces in Saturn   Turning away from what is offered - rejection of that which you are a part of. For example, stability, opportunity. It is a turning away from something that is benign, something that does not imply an immediate threat. The figure in the 8 of cups is not running away, nor are they hiding. They are slipping away as they chose to, not in flight from imminent threat. Inability or refusal to confront fears or phobias, possibly indicating excessive shyness also. Relinquishing or refusing to take on responsibility or refusal to be accountable. Hiding your true self, masking who you are, and revealing it only to the select few. A second or secret life. An inner life. Personal insecurities, lack of self-esteem - do not be ashamed to let others see you for who you really are. The party, or event that's a flop .... ouch, if you get this card turning up around an event you've got planned - you're in trouble, drastic changes are needed Rx: Wealth material pleasures - security, money etc. Depression - do not dwell in the gloom of the past when possibilities surround you... open your eyes, do not live internally. Transcendence The eight of cups shows a figure heading away to begin again elsewhere. This card is about a

How to Move On

If you’re hurting right now, not sure how you're going to recover or what the future could hold for you, and feeling overall emotionally devastated, than this is for you. The help you need to start moving forward with your life is here. Over the last few days I’ve been encountering the same question over and over again from people facing traumatic events in their lives that have left them feeling broken and hurt; “how do I let go and get past feeling this way?” and, “how do I move on?” Unfortunately, there’s no magic fix, and my heart really goes out to all of you feeling ‘stuck’ because I truly do know how awful this feels.  It’s an ongoing state of pain that really feels like it will never ever end or let go of your heart. Whilst there is no quick-fix solution to getting over it, there are things you can do that will help you make progress. These include: Accepting your reality Taking responsibility Committing to healing Accepting reality The first thing you need to do is be very honest with yourself and really accept the reality of your circumstances. Yes, it is hard, but this is your life and it is real, and for the sake of your emotional and mental health you have to acknowledge the pain you are in and

How a Psychic Reading Can Really Help You

More and more people are turning to psychic readings nowadays to fix any issues they might need help with. They just seem to have an easier time placing their trust in this type of services than in other types. It's important to note that not only can psychic services help you solve any issues that are troubling you at the moment but they can also help you live a happier life in the long run. Of course, there are still skeptics out there who have a hard time giving these kind of readings a chance. If you are one of them, then maybe this article will help change your mind. Here is how psychic readings can really help better your life: A psychic reading can offer you that boost of self-confidence you really need Psychic services are not always just about giving you answers and providing you with details you didn't know about. It's important to understand that many people turn to psychic readings for the simple act of being proven right. While that may not sound like much, it can definitely do wonders for your self-esteem. Say you're about to go into business with a new partner. They seem great and trustworthy, but you still have a nagging feeling that you need a second opinion. So you go to your trusty psychic.

Temperance XIV | Alchemy – Meaning & Interpretations

Who holds the secrets of the elemental powers? The Angel of Temperance; The Alchemist. The Alchemist is a magician, one who manifests his or her will. The Alchemist is an occultist, one who seeks the truth. The Alchemist is the high priestess, one who brings opposing worlds together. The Alchemist is an earthbound angel – embodying and harmonizing of all that surrounds. Always with a mind that can embrace opposing thoughts or concepts at the same time. The ability to hold diametrically opposed thoughts or concepts is represented frequently by the angels grounding – one foot stands on earth and the other foot that stands in water. No wonder so many people struggle to grasp at the true meaning of our Angel of Temperance. The one who makes opposites of equals and equals of opposites. The one who can mix fire and water. The Angel of Temperance appears in some tarot decks to be androgynous and does embody many character traits more traditionally perceived as masculine. However, Temperance is female. Our Alchemist must be a woman. She stands grounded in the feminine elements of earth and water – pentacles and cups. Standing focused on the work of creation and harmonization. One of the most obvious examples of which is procreation which blends together the male and the female inside the female body to bring about new

Psychic Protection

Psychic Protection - Everyone wants it, everyone needs it! Here are seven steps to ensure you are safe from a psychic attack and resistant to the negative energies that you encounter during your day. This is not hard, or complex, everyone can do it and benefit from at least a few of these steps. This is about using your focus and your will (power) to create the desired outcome. That outcome is protection from the energy of others, to retain a stable and clear aura, and minimize all forms of anxiety and stress. You'll be able to do all of these without any prior knowledge. So give it a try - you've got nothing to lose and a wonderful sense of energy and clarity to attain ... Smudging and Purifying - Smudging refers to a process of burning herbs to purify or cleanse unwanted forces, and/or negative energy. This is a relatively simple process, whereby you waft ‘smoke’ into the areas that you wish to cleanse. If you are performing a cleanse for yourself or another person, or an object you will need them to pass through the smoke. This process is a magical one… not a physical one. You do not need billowing smoke, and you do not need to feel choked up or suffocated. You are performing a ritual, it is the presence

The Strength Card, Rider Waite Tarot | Lust Atu XI, Thoth Tarot

How do you interpret The Strength Card of the Rider Waite Tarot, or the Lust Card, ATU XI of the Thoth Tarot? Following are my thoughts on this card. I've also included different ways that it might be interpreted in a reading, to help you understand it when it comes up in your own readings. The human and the lion - make friends with your enemy or that which opposes, overpowers, threatens or preys upon you. Befriend your fears. Are things really what they seem to be? Do you follow what has been taught to you in the past, or do you live by experience? Is this card advising the querent to put mind over matter. Determination will pay off? Is it truly a lion being tamed? Or is it the beast within? The card can refer equally to the inner struggle as it can to the struggles that the outside world throws at us. Does this card tell us that change is coming? That yes we can stave it off, but only whilst we are applying sheer force. What will happen when force is removed? Will circumstances have changed? Will the lion be tamed? Aleister Crowley renamed this card "Lust" in the Thoth Tarot. The reasoning behind it makes perfect sense... think of the imagery on the card, a woman taming a beast - or the masculine. Crowley reminds us

Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle's work teaches us his perspective on how to live a spiritually centred life. He has written many books and shared teachings on dealing with grief, living in the moment or ''the now'' and the benefits to be found in practicing stillness and meditation, and living a spiritual existence. He explains the mental pain caused by living in memories of the past, and the difficulties we bring to our lives by focusing on dreams for the future. When you live in either the past or the future, and compares this to the relief found than the past or future, and the benefits  found in  embracing our spirituality. I love the way he reminds us that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that in this knowledge, there is immense psychological freedom. The understanding of this concept is life changing in that it reminds us that this journey is but a step or a single lesson in our evolution. Which you can interpret as; you have a thousand of these lives to lead - so don't sweat the small stuff. It is an instant perspective changer. Everyone you talk to will tell you that they find their view of their life different if contemplating that they have many thousand more lives to lead. The other assurance we receive is that in our return to spirit, we re-connect

Go and Get Giving

Human beings are inherently social creatures. We are hard-wired to make social connections, be community members and support one another. There’s no two ways about it. When we are living in harmony with our ”community” and actively giving to it we are happier more fulfilled beings. When you look more closely at this to see what factors most contribute to the sense of fulfillment, the number one stand out is giving.  Further, it’s not anonymous giving, that delivers us the best results personally. It’s the giving of time, of support, or items that we have had a hand in either creating or collecting or raising funds to purchase. It makes people feel so positive that they seek over and over to repeat the process, and for some people becomes the inspiration that charges their lives. This is an example of the Law of Giving and Receiving which essentially tells us that all energy can be categorized as either giving or receiving energy. This balance of energy is what powers all things in our universe. The more energy you expend in either area, the more that will in turn, naturally flow back to you. “The universe operates through dynamic exchange – giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe.”  – Deepak Chopra explains. Therefore, we see that in our willingness to give that which

Psychic Readings & Time Frames

I always feel sad when people tell me that they've seen many psychics and had many readings and that nothing they were told has transpired. Even worse are those who report that things sadly went very badly, nothing happened as it was 'meant to' happen. It leaves them feeling they've missed out, or somehow failed, and promotes anxiety and despondence. Why do readers predict that things will happen, and seem so sure of it, and then they don't... A psychic told me that X was going to happen on X date (e.g. my boyfriend was going to propose on New Years Eve) and it didn't happen... now I am worried it never will. I've seen so many different readers and they have all told me different time frames for things. I'm so confused. Why is this happening, it does not make any sense? These questions come from a place of pain, frustration and disappointment. I hate seeing people in this state, and hope that the following "explanation" may provide some help in avoiding 'reading disappointment'. So, when you next have a reading, keep in mind the following concepts: Concept One - Time is not Linear The place that spiritual (psychic) information comes from does not operate on a 24 hour time clock, and a 365 day calendar year like we do. Spirit does not go around wearing a watch, checking alarms, marking

Marriage advice I WISH I’d had

Gerald Rogers was divorced after 16 years of marriage. Recently he wrote an eye-opening, public confession on his blog... my heart goes out to him and I couldn't agree with him more. MARRIAGE ADVICE I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD by Gerald Rogers Obviously, I'm not a relationship expert. But there's something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different... After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here's the advice I wish I would have had... 1) NEVER STOP COURTING. Never stop dating. NEVER EVER take that woman for granted. When you asked her to marry you, you promised to be that man that would OWN HER HEART and to fiercely protect it. This is the most important and sacred treasure you will ever be entrusted with. SHE CHOSE YOU. Never forget that, and NEVER GET LAZY in your love. 2) PROTECT YOUR OWN HEART. Just as you committed to being the protector of her heart, you must guard your own with the same vigilance. Love yourself fully, love the world openly, but there is a special place in your heart where no one must enter except for your wife. Keep that space always ready to receive her and invite her in, and refuse to let

What screws us up most in life

This is so true. How often do you catch yourself doing exactly this!!?! Thinking about the things you wish you had done, the things you wish you owned, the things you feel you've missed out on and the way you wish your life was. It's so easy to focus on the 'have not's'. The perceived failings, the difference between where you are and where you wish you were. Many people spend their lives this way, imposing an abstract sense of failure upon themselves, that does nothing but stir up feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. What if we just stopped doing that to ourselves? Imagine how much better the quality of life would be if we learnt to focus on what was in front of us, rather than what we 'wish' was in front of us. We all need to come back to the moment, to 'now' and let go of the reality we imagine, the past we miss, or the gaps we perceive between our 'wants' and 'have's.  Don't wish your life away in this type of pattern... Focus on what you feel, what you sense, what you love right now, and spread your wings and soar. Focus on how good 'right now' feels. Living in this exact moment, 'now' is profoundly liberating. Everything becomes possible again - pain recedes into another dimension, and opportunity presents. Try it, I promise you it will deliver you the

Manifest?

Manifest - to make shit happen! For those who are wondering  what "manifest" means it is to 'make something real or apparent', or 'make shit happen'. Affirming your intentions, desires and gratitude to the universe or spirit is  one of the most powerful  way to manifest your intentions. into your life. Positively affirming your commitment to your path - whatever it may be - and focusing your mind upon it regularly does deliver results. Affirmations ground and build  energy. With every repetition they  enhance your conscious awareness and focus on your intent and further  align your will with the universe and spirit.   They can be used to enhance any and all actions, desires and goals. The Abundance Prayer below is a powerful and very successful incantation that has been used by many over a long period of time with much success. Reports of successful change that (seemingly) resulted from this prayer or spells use include; unexpected winnings and dividends - such as $8000 coming into one woman within a  week of using this spell. Other feedback includes long awaited and hoped for telephone calls  and invitations coming from love interests and ex-lovers, a job promotion finally being improved, and a house finally being sold after many months on the market with no interest. You can add to the words here to suit your purposes, or if

Strengthen Your Psychic Ability

Moments of insight, flashes of understanding and intuitive perception seem to come when you least expect them to. All of a sudden you have a surreal moment of insight and your psychic ability is illuminated. I'm talking about those 'aha aaa' moments,  where everything now makes sense to you. Under this umbrella also fall the 'gut' feelings or intuitions that we all get, strong (weird) urges to avoid particular circumstances or situations, sudden desires or 'needs' to see or connect with loved ones, and so forth.­­­ The way these moments of intelligence flash thru our consciousness unbidden,  can make us feel that this source of intelligence is  beyond our human ability to control and, or understand. This is not the case though, it's just that as a society we do not place a focus on developing this area in the mainstream. Remember though; we are all spiritual beings, and every one of us has the ability to connect to spirit, develop our connection to 'creator' and strengthen our intuitive gifts. Whilst there are many methods and techniques for developing each and every aspect of your spirituality,  I will only refer to those that I know, through personal experience, do work, and are also accessible to all. Following is one of the most straightforward and simple ways to do so - everyone will be capable of this, and there is no need for any financial outlay. The

For All Parents

As everyone who has them knows... Young children, from the get-go, are a leading cause of insanity in otherwise 'stable' (term used loosely) people. For all parents who identify; I give you Michael McIntyre. Not a cure, not a how-to, and nothing preachy. The opposite of all the remedies, schools of discipline and every other piece of advice you've ever received. This is empathy and understanding and a reminder that it's not just you .... so please watch, its hilarious. And, if you've seen it already, watch it again. I watch this religiously on 'bad' days (and hang out with my friend alcohol). Any time child-induced heart palpitations rumble, or my brain starts melting - I've got it dialled. This clip is in my phone, my playlists, the spoilt children's iPad's, and everywhere else I can save it to. There's something so comforting in knowing you're not alone... I think? Thanks (so many thanks) to Michael McIntyre Amber | www.intothesoul.com

Strawberry Vodka Sorbet

Sorbet is the perfect treat for hot sunny days. Icey-fruit cocktails are too are hard to beat too. Whether you go for the adult version or the child-friendly version, you'll love this recipe. It works great with other mixes of berries too - experiment! This strawberry sorbet is made with fresh in-season strawberries, but when strawberries are out of season, use frozen ones. If you have an ice cream maker, simply pour the prepared mixture into your machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions. If like me, you have no ice cream maker, a blender or food processor is all you need to ensure a smooth sorbet. Ingredients: 2/3 cup water or vodka 2/3 cup sugar 1kg strawberries (about 5 cups) 2 tbsp lemon juice Preparation: Stir sugar and water(or vodka) together in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring sugar and water syrup to a boil, then remove from heat. Allow to cool down in pan for a 1/2 hour (the syrup is extremely hot) before transferring to a 1 cup container and chilling it in the refrigerator. While the syrup is cooling, hull strawberries and place them in a food processor or blender. Blend strawberries to a puree, then pour through a sieve into a medium-size bowl. Add lemon juice, and stir well. Refrigerate puree until the syrup has chilled – about 1 hour.

Develop your Psychic Ability

People frequently ask me "Can I develop my own Psychic Ability ?" and, "How can I develop my Intuition?" Everybody has intuitive gifts, and more and more people are wanting to learn to tap into that side of themselves. There's no magical answer though because it's like every other discipline out there... practice and practice and practice. Obviously, there are many ways to do practice using your intuition but here is what I find works for me. I do many readings a day, and I often wonder about my clients, whether their readings have happened yet, or whether things have unfolded as we thought they would. I often have to wait 6 or 12 months, in between seeing my clients before I can find out how their reading unfolded. I am always looking forward to feedback though, and when I get it, I make sure to look at the strengths and weaknesses of what was presented. Looking at how things unfolded, in comparison to how you 'saw' them, is the best way to hone your skills, and make sure you are asking spirit all the questions you need to on behalf of your client. Being a good Intuitive or Psychic is not just about your connection to Spirit. It's also about being a good detective and asking the right questions. If you don't ask for the right information, you may

Crossing Over

When the time comes to leave this life most of us cross over uneventfully to the other side. We are drawn to it... a place of warmth and love where familiar faces welcome us. There are some people though who struggle to make the 'crossing' . They remain here in this realm with us, living in limbo, until they finally transition. For some this is mishap, they are 'lost' or unsure of what they're supposed to be doing. For other's it's a choice they make to remain here as they do not feel ready to leave and will continue living amongst us. It is quite common to encounter spiritual entities amongst us and most people will experience being in the presence of a spirit (or ghost) a number of times. You may wish to help a spirit like this cross to the other side, and it's really something that just about everyone can safely do. Think about the spirit, set your mind to focus on them. As you reach out to them, know this - they hear you. You may not hear/feel their response, but they hear and feel and see you. The connection is real and therefore you can help them. Show them a window or gateway through which a golden light shines. Tell them to listen carefully and that small voices can be heard softly through this window.  Point to the window
