Hello from Warners Bay, where I’m sitting in the shade after running errands all day.  I hope your weekend is going well.  Now, you may be happy to read that I’m back to including the moon phase info again, so let’s get into the Oracle for some guidance for the week ahead.  For my upcoming Calendar, please scroll to the end of this post 🧡.

In preparation for today’s Oracle Inspiration, centre yourself, take a clearing breath, and ask, ‘which card holds an inspiring message for me?’ – and choose your card from today’s Oracle offering:  Left, Middle, Right, or All Three.  As always, the reveal is further down this post – enjoy!

Sat 22 Feb is a waning Crescent Moon in Sagittarius ♐.  Moon in Sagittarius offers a healthy dose of optimism, and assists you in believing your situation will improve, even if it doesn’t look like it right now.  The Waning Crescent has the energy of surrender and clearing energy.  So you’ve done all you can for now, it’s time to send your efforts out to the Universe to work its magic and for you to assess what you’ve learned, gained or seen in this moon cycle.  Ask yourself:  how can I let go of control to be ready for the next phase?

Now, are you ready for your messages?……Today’s cards are from The Naked Heart Tarot  (Jillian C Wilde).

Left Card:

VIII Strength – The Courageous Soul – Courage, Compassion, Acceptance – Naked Heart Message: “I accept myself for who I am and courageously step out into the world sharing my light with others. I make space for patience and peace in my heart. I am kind and compassionate with myself, and this energy expands to the way I treat others. I am a product of love, and I carry this worthiness in all that I do. I speak my truth from a place of grace, and when I trust my instincts, I stand strong in my personal power.”. Griffin Familiar Whispers: “Acceptance of yourself or your situation will guide your compassion and instincts forward.”

Middle Card:

Ten of Swords – Finale, Release, Liberation.  Naked Heart Message:  “My pain has something to say. It has a story to tell. When I feel my pain rise within, this is my moment to feel it, address it, love it, and work to understand it so that I can heal it. The pain may look like it comes from outside of me, the cause of someone else’s doing, when in fact their actions serve as a sacred mirror showing me the pain that comes up for me and what needs to be healed within. I may even feel resistance to this belief, but if I give myself permission to understand that I cannot be triggered when there is nothing within me that needs to be healed, I am on the path to completion.” Rat Familiar Whispers:  “When you heal yourself, your stories will change.”

Right Card:

IV Sky Father – The Divine Masculine – Loyalty, Leadership, Confidence – Naked Heart Message: “I am in control of my life having balance and structure. As I lean into this, the more confident I become. Having order creates room for expansion and growth. I use this strength towards the unfolding success of my future. I trust that the universe is guiding and protecting me as I courageously dedicate myself to the pursuit of my goals and set myself up for success. I used the wisdom that I’ve gained from my life experiences to help shape my present, and if others need my guidance, I graciously offer the wisdom I have gained. The Universe works with me to help co-create my goals and dreams of success.”. Cosmic Familiar Whispers: “You are guided by Universal order and have wisdom to persevere.”

The Three Cards Together:

These three cards show you that when you accept yourself with patience and compassion, you can change your story about yourself.  You are not your story, and you can heal your pain.  You are being guided and you have Enough for You and to share, if asked for guidance.  Your courage and wisdom are shaped by your experiences  and you are capable of success.  Go forth and pursue your dreams!

I hope you still find these messages inspirational, as I do enjoy preparing them for you – feel free to comment on this post on my website (that helps with the SEO) – perhaps you can share what is happening for you this week – I read every comment and I love to hear from you.   Thank you for inviting me into your inbox each week – I look forward to seeing you in some way soon 💚.
