Hello and Welcome 😊. I guess you could say that the recent Mercury retrograde energy has put me through the wringer this time 😂. I am definitely looking forward to some forward movement for the next little while. Trying to stay positive, do marketing work and use the quiet time to do research on other project has filled my last week!! Today I’ve spent the day at Sydney’s Mind Body Spirit Festival at the Aura Photographics stand – it’s been a full day of colour and connections. I am looking forward to doing so again very soon. In the meantime, we have our Broken Hill Popup coming up (in case you hadn’t seen it already 😂). Thank you also to everyone who replies to this post either on Facebook or by email – I read every comment and appreciate your connection. If it inspires you, please feel free to share with friends 💚.
Now, let’s get into today’s Oracle Inspiration for you! Take a minute to settle, centre, and take a cleansing breath – ask, ‘which card holds an inspirational message for me?’ – and choose your card from today’s Oracle offering, either Left, Middle, Right, or All Three. As always, the reveal is further down this post – enjoy!
It’s Saturday 20 May and a New Moon in Gemini. You may feel the need to share your feelings with others, being more talkative and speaking with ease. Changes and spontaneity are key at this time. Keeping a cool head is useful, but beware a cold heart. Keep your feeling and thinking in harmony at this time.
Now, are you ready for your message ?……Today’s cards are from Practical Magic (Serene Conneeley and Selina Fenech).
Left Card:
18 Set Boundaries – Having clear boundaries, guarding your time and being able to say No is an honouring of yourself, and will protect you from burnout, resentment and despair. If you’ve been spending time on things that your heart really isn’t into, and gazing longingly at something you really want to be doing, who are you serving? Saying No when you mean it, will make saying Yes more joyful. Be mindful of those who take more than they give in the relationship. This includes people who hold views vastly different to your own. If being around someone who’s behaviour you don’t agree with is draining, then reconsider the value of that friendship. By having clear boundaries, you can focus on your Soul’s purpose.
Middle Card:
7 Physical Strength – Your body is your temple. Care for it, respect it, and nurture it – out of love, not punishment – and become the best version of you. This is a message to prioritise your own health and wellbeing with good food and movement so that it can continue to house and propel your Soul to fulfil its purpose. Start with something little and build up your strength with each step. Remember to positively affirm your progress and to be gentle if you feel you aren’t doing it well enough. Combine affirmations for a stronger body with your exercise so that your mind supports your workout. Make it as non-negotiable as cleaning your teeth and enjoy the feeling of your body’s movement.
Right Card:
6 Solar Strength – Embrace focus, motivation, and manifestation, connecting with your fiery willpower and confidence to take action and fuel change. This card indicates that the time for introspection has passed and now you must take action. What do you want to achieve, broken down into actionable steps and follow them until completion. Draw on the masculine energy of the sun, commit and jump into the action. Use the energy to fuel you in your quest and to set boundaries and help you stay focused and undistracted. Go!
Three cards together:
These three cards are really all about personal strength, aren’t they? Setting boundaries to maintain your energy for your Soul’s purpose, building up your physical strength to carry out that purpose and drawing upon the solar energy to fuel your motivation, drive and action. No more excuses, right?
