Ace of Cups, Page of Pentacles & Temperance – I Give My Heart Permission to Lead This Dance. 444

There has been an energy in the collective recently that keeps coming up – a new beginning. 

Spring is in the air and the Equinox is just around the corner. The Equinox is all about emerging from a period of stillness and hibernation, inner contemplation and planning. It heralds a time of new growth, rebirth, blooming flowers and blossoming trees. 

With the Ace of Cups being at the forefront of this reading, you definitely have a new beginning coming in. Perhaps a new love or relationship, as the cups are rooted in love and emotional energy. A gift from the divine, as I feel spirit very strongly coming through in this card.

The Page of Pentacles tells me this union will be balanced, you have the Ace of Cups sitting in the Crown Chakra energy and the Page of Pentacles in the Root Chakra Energy. Both of these are sitting in the Scorpio energy so this could be representative of the changes/transformation about to take place or the person which you will be meeting will be a Scorpio. Either way, this union promises to be stable, and that is perhaps exactly what you are looking for. 

The Temperance card is all about balance, and harmonious relationships which further clarifies the above. You could be meeting your soulmate. 

The Two of Swords came out under the Ace of Cups indicating that perhaps a decision needs to be made about this new beginning. The Three of Swords came out next to the Two of Swords and below the Page of Pentacles. This card indicates heartbreak, loneliness, pain, grief which tells me that you may be apprehensive about moving forward into this new relationship because of past hurts. 

Swords represent the Air element and symbolize communication, thoughts, ideas and I get the feeling you might be very in your head about this whole situation.

Spirit drew my attention to the Two of Swords, the figure sitting in front of the water with the moon behind her, arms crossed and guarded. Divine Feminine energy, represented by the Moon and Water element, is guided by the heart. So I feel as though spirit is trying to tell you to put down the swords, it is safe to do so, come back into your divine feminine energy. Do not close your precious heart.

I felt a deep heaviness in my chest – a pain,  I feel as though you are holding much of that pain in your heart chakra. Spirit wants to help you let that go, just know that they will help if you so chose to ask. 

The lovers came out under Temperance and that just confirmed that the person you met, or will soon meet is a kindred spirit. This card still speaks of major choices – and spirit wants me to reaffirm not to let your fear or pain hold you back from this precious gift that the divine wants to bestow in your life. 

From the Rumi Oracle Deck we have “The Impossible Made Possible” – card number 9 – the wrapping up of a cycle. We also got “The Whirling Goddess” and “One”.

I am being lead to write out a bit from the Rumi Oracle book for you:

ONE: 

“ ..There is no aspect of your life separate from your spiritual journey, and there is no aspect of you that is not of divine origin. So then, why the frowning, the fear or the questioning? Let me share a sublime secret with you; let me whisper it into your heart now. There is nothing to fear. All is unfolding according to the divine genius and there is a sweet shift in store for you. No Matter how dire the situation may appear to be or how despairing you may feel, there is still an avenue through which fulfillment and resolution will be granted. This will happen! ..” 

Whirling Goddess: 

“Lose your Head! Not a single thread that has a head can go through the eye of the needle!” – Rumi

“This Oracle brings you a message. You are at the point of growth where your mind can hold you back rather than urge you forward. If you, like so many, used your mind to support you, to sure up your sense of self in the world and to gain a sense of certainty about how the world works, then this is no easy leap! It will seem as though you are being asked to pass through a keyhole. Of course, your mind will stop and argue for all the reasons why the door should be opened instead of remaining closed, making the task seem so much harder than it needs to be, but this is the mind in resistance. You are being asked to dance rather than understand, to lay the thoughts to rest and come alive. It is the bravest, most trusting soul that dares put the mind to one side and say “Tonight we dance, my heart and I, in the great rousing music of the beloved’s beating heart – and I will not miss one step.” And to awaken the next day and do that all over again, and again – and again. You are ready, you see, sweet soul dancer.” 

I was also guided to leave here the Sacred Honoring Ritual for the Whirling Goddess card, if it so moves you, take a moment: 

Say Aloud: “I give my heart permission to lead this dance. I give my mind some time off – no more worry or doubt, planning or resisting. Instead, I surrender. Instead, I open. Instead, I allow. And all unfolds with perfection, divine timing and the miracle of grace. With Rumi as my soul witness, so be it” You have completed your honoring ritual.

I was going to say – that it is a lovely place to finish the reading – but then I heard “one more confirmation” so I feel spirit has another message to give here.

So, I bring out my Instant Magic Oracle: 

Another page wanted to flip open:

444

The oracle says: Green light go-go-go! These page numbers show you that you have nothing to fear. The numbers 444 are here to tell you to have confidence in where you are at and what you are doing. They signify any action that is taken now will be hugely successful for you. Music is the answer. Put on your favorite song and dance. No need to rush, sometimes it’s better to walk than run.” 

You might have been seeing or will be seeing 444 more frequently. Spirit wants you to be aware of the signs they will be sending you – “gentle loving reminders” – that there is nothing to fear and to help you release all that pain that no longer serves your journey. 

I feel there is much that needs to be released, and that will be something you will work on over time. There is no rush, spirit is with you and is eager to help, when you are ready. But I also heard  “start today – start with a thought, start with a ritual, start with a mantra – start small and work from there. Hold my hand and take a step with me.” 

There is so much love emanating in this reading from spirit, and you are worthy of every drop, don’t forget that.

Namaste.
