20 May The week ahead: May 19th through May 25th:

We’re almost to the end of May! Time is flying and I’ve felt the clock ticking. Mars turned direct today, so if you’ve felt a bit sluggish lately or that things weren’t moving fast enough for you, get ready to kick your life back into high gear. I’ve been hearing everyone say that their friends have been a major thorn in their side, with fights galore and more drama than they’ve hoped for. I offer you a different point of view; give this person (or people) the space and love that they need. They may be going through something you have no idea about. This doesn’t mean that you need to take any abuse or nasty behavior. Just give them all the room they need and let them know that you’ll be there when they’re ready to be friends again. This is the best way to cut out the drama, and may be the wake up call they needed to hear.

Please choose a card from the picture above. The cards are numbered from left to right; 1, 2, 3. Know that whatever card you choose, is the message you needed to hear this week. Take it in, meditate on it, and see how it applies to you right now. The crystal I chose for this week is the sunny citrine. Natural Citrine is a premier stone of manifestation, imagination, and personal will. Carrying the power of the sun, it is warm and comforting, energizing and life giving. It stimulates the chakras like the sunlight of spring, clearing the mind and stirring the soul to action. Its frequency awakens creativity and imagination, and sustains the process of transforming dreams and wishes into tangible form. With its pure yellow energy, Citrine encourages fullness of life, fresh beginnings and new pursuits. Natural Citrine does not hold or accumulate negative energy, but rather transmutes, dissipates, and grounds it, making it extremely protective for the environment. It works out problems on both the physical and subtle levels, transforming negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones. It is one of only two crystals on Earth that never needs to be cleared or cleansed. The other is Kyanite. Called The Merchant’s Stone for its properties of increase in the cashbox, sparkling yellow Citrine not only assists in acquiring wealth, but helps in maintaining it. It is a stone of abundance and manifestation, attracting wealth and prosperity, success and all things good. It also encourages generosity and sharing good fortune. Citrine assists in all fast money ventures, and is especially helpful in financial speculation and for commercial success. Carry one in the purse or wallet to attract money and stop excessive outflow. Citrine is an excellent crystal for interpersonal relationships. It smooths family or group problems, and promotes solutions and cohesiveness. It also helps in understanding and dealing with absorbed impressions from those around us. Carrying a Citrine attracts love and happiness, and guards against those who would break your heart. It is also an effective shield against spite and jealousy.

My hope for you this week is that you take a step back from whatever situation you’re involved in, take a deep breath, and allow love  to be at the forefront of all you do. You’re capable of such greatness! Don’t let what’s going on break you down or turn you into someone that you’re not. Trust in your heart and your heart will show you the way.  

 This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
