Is there maybe too much going on in your life right now? The Ten of wands tells me that you might be taking on too much, feeling the weight of your responsibilities. The card is a 10 – so the ending of a cycle. With the Five of Swords perhaps there is conflict – in or around you. This could be external in your personal or work life but it can also be Internally, like being burned out from the chaos in your life at this time and it takes a toll on your mind, body and soul. 

The Four of swords asks you to go within yourself, contemplate, rest, and recuperate. Allow time and space for your nervous system to feel at ease. Allow yourself to create some space within your mind for new ideas and divine inspiration. 

From the Rumi Oracle the card “Divine Mother Manifests” came out, this card feels to me like the universe is holding you within its healing hands. The divine mother, pictured on the card, is holding within her hands, in her energy a green sphere of light. Green is representative of healing energy and also associated with growth, rebirth, health & balance. 

Spirit is holding space for you to take this sacred pause and go within. Under the Five of Swords, representing the internal or external conflict the card “The Lion and The Deer” came out and I am being guided to just write out a bit from the oracle book:

“This oracle brings you a special message: you are rediscovering a part of yourself that has been lost or submerged underneath ‘more practical’ concerns. Of course, if practicality is about survival then learning to be your true self is most essential and practical! All other paths lead to death of the soul! 

You are asked to bear the chaos of this rediscovery. It may be that talents from this or other lifetimes are reawakened and cause you some discomfort at first, even though they will ultimately bring joy and greater fulfillment. The discomfort may be around how those talents are best expressed, about overcoming shame, guilt, doubt or other judgements. It may even be about who you are, if you now admit your talent or other emerging personality traits. 

Perhaps what is being unearthed in you now is darker – your sacred rage, refusal to accept disrespect in your life, your inability to tolerate lies and deceptions. Well then, you are the lion and the deer. That is nature. There is to be both in the world. You are not becoming contradictory or hypocritical. You are becoming whole. 

The guidance this oracle brings you is that you shall prosper most now if you are willing to unbecome what you have believed yourself to be. It was never really true anyway, that view. It was partial at best, and just a view, an identity, not a genuine reality. 

Some of your previous sense of self shall likely come with this transition into the fuller expression of your being, and some of that previous identity shall be shed as far too limiting. It just won’t feel true for you anymore, it never did. 

Any crisis or confusion this brings you shall be temporary fuel to ignite the divine fires within.” 

Such a lovely message of shedding the old, let go of the wands you carry that no longer serve you. Walk away from those judgements from others, for being who you are. Come back within yourself, back to center. Back to your heart, the divine mothers heart. 

We also got “Let Love Transform” from the Rumi Oracle:

The spring of love arrives to transform the dust into a garden.

The call is heard from the heavens to bid the wings of soul to fly.

The sea becomes filled with pearls.

The dry land receives the water of life. 

The stone becomes a ruby, and the body becomes all soul.”

-RUMI

With that message, I got the image again of the green orb within the card “Divine Mother Manifests” and I heard “Incubation period” – come into the eye of the storm, rest within the divine mothers embrace and allow this transformation to take place. 

Let her love transform you! For a closing message I opened up my instant magic oracle:

“Imagine the cutest, fluffiest kitten. Think about how gentle and loving you would be towards this adorable little creature. Now use the same energy on yourself, and treat yourself, just as you would this sweet little kitten” 

Be gentle with yourself as you undergo this transformative period. Sit in the embrace of spirit and take time to meditate – however you personally meditate. You can do the conventional way or you can meditate through exercise, creative arts, music, nature – just find a space where you can connect with yourself and spirit – let go of everything else – just a moment of your time each day. 

You are being divinely guided and protected at this time. 

Namaste
