25 Mar The week ahead: March 24th through March 30th:

I may be getting a little ahead of myself, but I’ve started prepping for the craziness that April is bringing. The new moon in Aries arrives on March 30th, so keep an eye out on my FB page for a helpful article to get you through (www.Facebook.com/MiraInvenietis). A LOT of evolutions are going to occur in April, especially when there will be a Grand Cross of planets and eclipses to boot. What this means is that you’re going to be forced to make some changes–MAJOR changes. If you refuse to let go of something outdated; in pretty much any area of your life; you’ll have a rough month, as situation after situation will make the hard choices for you. You may not get a say at all. I don’t know about you, but I’m not interested in that path. I’m doing my review and soul work now, so when it comes time for all the craziness to go down, I at least know what I’m up against and I’ll have a fighting chance of making my own decisions. Don’t worry though, all this change is to help you move forward into the destiny you’ve prayed so hard for; I just personally don’t like being forced to do anything…that’s my Aries coming out 😉

Go ahead and pick a card. From left to right they are numbered 1, 2, 3. Pick the one your drawn to. If you notice in the picture above, I’ve placed a beautiful aragonite star cluster at the top of the cards to help stabilize our energy this week. Aragonite assists those who need to release issues from the past as well as attachments in the present. Aragonite promotes focus and concentration, and can be helpful for students. Meditating with Aragonite can help to ground spiritual growth into the lower chakras, raising the overall vibration of the body. Many crystal lovers enjoy Aragonite’s centering energies, and work with it to help bring peace and serenity to volatile situations. Aragonite calms, centers, stabilizes and increases the ability to remain patient, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It will enhance and encourage sensitivity and generosity. Aragonite can be an aid for those who lack discipline and self-control, and can help one to overcome stagnation in their personal growth.

If you chose card #1: Your message this week is that your ancestral spirit guides are offering you guidance now, so pay close attention to signs and omens from them. The card goes on to say that you can receive guidance from your ancestors in the spirit world, no matter what their age, when they died, or how many generations ago they walked on the Earth. They’re offering you help in many ways right now, so pay close attention to the signs they give you. This guidance can come to you in many forms, whether through your eyes, ears, feelings, or thoughts. Sometimes your ancestral spirit guides appear in dreams, particularly vivid ones. You might see someone who looks like on of your ancestors, or unexpectedly come across photos or memorabilia that remind you of this person. Often a particular animal making an appearance before you is a way in which you ancestral guide is trying to reach you. You might hear something that makes you think of a specific ancestor, or simply feel their presence. And thoughts about a certain ancestor, especially unexpected and recurring thoughts, suggest that they’re nearby. Repetition is key here. In whatever ways your ancestors attempt to contact you, when signs continue to show up that make you think of your deceased loved ones, know that these physical manifestations demonstrate that they’re with you. You may have known some of these ancestors in the physical world prior to their deaths, or they may be ancestors from long ago, several generations before your birth, surpassing the boundaries of conscious memory. Regardless of who they are, always give thanks to your ancestral spirit guides and even appeal to these benevolent helpers whenever guidance is needed.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is to accept the situation as it is rather than fighting to change it. The card goes on to say that there are times to fight for what you believe in and times to lay down your sword and surrender. If you or your family were in imminent danger, it would be quite natural to defend yourself be either fleeing or fighting, whether through action or words. Extreme situations may even require extreme measures. There are definitely wrongs to make right and situations where the spiritual warrior in you must take the lead. However, it’s not the case here. What will work best for all concerned is for you to surrender and accept things as they are. Yield in order to overcome. Lay down your sword, not in defeat or in self-sacrifice, but from a realization that this isn’t the fight you want or need to engage in. As the saying goes, choose your battles. This is definitely not one to waste your time and energy on. Say the Serenity prayer aloud: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Let go of your righteousness and your ego’s need for control, and find that peace of mind that you so cherish and have available simply by choosing it.

If you chose card #3: Your message this week is to use both your intuition and your intellect to solve the problem or get answers to your questions. The card goes on to say that when your intuition and intellect are in harmonious accord with each other, there’s no problem that you can’t resolve. The combination emerges as creative intelligence, an elegant blend of your capacity for reasoning coupled with a deep trust in your gut feelings. In the flow of thought and action that results in resolving your question or problem this way, you may surprise yourself as to how simple and effective the answer really is. Your intuition is actually a constellation of physical cues that respond to the subtle body language, voice, intonations, and energetic quality of the people or situations around you, often felt in your gut but not confined to that area. It’s your instinct communicating–an aspect of your animal nature that’s cued in to your survival and growth. You can best access this instinctual wisdom by breathing slowly and steadily and focusing your attention on the physical sensations you notice. In addition to your intuitive feelings, get more information on which to base your choices by doing some research. Consult books, the internet, other types of oracles, and/or discuss the issue with a friend. Or you may simply need time to contemplate it. Often when you walk away from the problem or question after intensely researching or thinking about it, an unexpected insight surfaces that helps you discern the best choice among all the possibilities. When there’s congruity between mind and intuition, coupled with a healthy dose of patience, you tap into the deeper wisdom of source.

My hope for you this week is that you prepare yourself for the major changes ahead. Even if you put no stock into astrology, it does you good to take a real look at yourself; put a plan into place today to help you do better in every area of your life. Please keep your innocence throughout your process. In a world that makes us grow up way too fast, your child-like awe in the world will be an asset to everything you do. Continue to grow and look for the sun! Believe in the power of your dreams and the world will shape itself around you.

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
