19 Sep The week ahead: September 19th through September 25th:

We’re now entering Libra season here on the 22^nd and (HALLELUJAH!) Mercury will also be stationing direct on the 22^nd as well. I’d like you to wait to sign any contracts, purchase electronics or large mechanics/machines (like a car) until the 6^th of October; this should give you plenty of time to allow Mercury to get through it’s shadow phase and things should be much more clear by then as well. You should already start to feel the ease from Mercury stationing direct by the end of the week though, so hold tight! It’s almost over 🙂

Libra is one of the most peaceful, laid back, diplomatic signs with an emphasis on balance (hence, the scales). This sign also rules partnerships and your connection to the world around you. Libra’s are also known for being a bit self-indulgent, gullible and indecisive, so make sure this Libra season that you don’t over do it on the food and drinks and that you take your time to make important decisions. Libra is ruled by Venus, so themes of beauty (inner and outer), the arts, the Divine Feminine, nature, and love will be prevalent now. There’s still going to be major focus on your relationships and rightfully so. If this eclipse season has brought up more questions than answers, continue to give things some time, especially until the first half of October when Mercury’s shadow finally leaves us and allows everything to come to full light. So how can we use this information to navigate this time? My advice is this: Do not make peace for peace’s sake, especially in your most important relationships. Something important may have surfaced and it’s vitally important that you continue to follow the thread to see where it ends. Don’t give up on making your relationships better or seeing if you CAN do so. Effort is going to be required here and by both parties, so don’t give up! You may feel right now you have every reason to throw in the towel, and if there’s abuse of any kind, this may be the perfect point to decide what brings you peace, which in this case, would be a hasty exit. Essentially, we’ll all be focused on what brings us peace, so don’t allow the glitter and allure of the big picture to stop you from confronting what needs to be fixed and doing the work that’s needed. This week, be fair in your judgment of your situation and continue to work on your closest connections; because what’s been occurring on the outside has a direct link to what’s been going on inside of you <3

Go ahead and pick a card from above (pick one, two or all three cards–pick what you’re drawn to). The stone you see in the picture above is amethyst. Amethyst is a wonderful talisman for use in the creative arts, especially in darker shades. It assists endeavors where new, original results need to be created using tools and methods of the past. It is often used as the Artist’s Stone, the Composer’s Stone, the Inventor’s, Poet’s and Painter’s Stones. Keep an Amethyst crystal or cluster in the area to focus and amplify the creative elements of the Universal Life Force. Called the “All-healer,” Amethyst is one of the most effective crystals for healing people, plants and animals. Natural unpolished Amethysts or geodes are particularly helpful placed where plants will not grow or animals refuse to sit. It also counteracts negative earth energies beneath buildings or anywhere that feels hostile. Amethyst protects against psychic attack, paranormal harm or ill-wishing, and returns the energy back to the universe after being transformed into positive, loving energy. To increase this power and attract good luck, draw an image of the sun and the crescent moon over an Amethyst in lavender incense smoke. Referred to as “nature’s tranquilizer,” Amethyst calms and soothes, assisting the transmission of neural signals through the brain. It relieves obsessive compulsive disorder and hyperactivity in children and animals. Place under the pillow or mattress, or rub the center of the forehead counter-clockwise to cure insomnia and stimulate pleasant dreams. It is especially effective for children’s recurring nightmares and fears of the dark, and may help alleviate homesickness. If you’d like to learn more about amethyst, please go here.

If you chose card #1: Your message this week is about the Four of Swords. Your card goes on to say that it is time to take care of yourself, do those things that make you happy, and retreat from the stress and chaos of the world. If you have been experiencing any setbacks or difficulties, take a moment to breathe and meditate on the issues at hand. You will need this time to recuperate and revitalize yourself.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is about the Three of Swords. Your card goes on to say that this is a more ominous card than most, The Three of Swords suggest that something has left you feeling hurt, betray, or rejected. Although the presence of these emotions may feel overwhelming, know that within every challenging situation, a greater lesson is presenting itself. Acknowledge, honor, and process your feelings, but not play victim to their circumstances. How we face adversity can have a lifelong effect on our happiness and consciousness if we choose to habitually focus on the negativity. Your innate strength and wisdom will emerge, as you realize your full potential to grow and learn from past mistakes or obstacles. You alone have the power to rise above the shadows and reach a higher state of being.

Your card goes on to say that this is one of the most joyful and harmonious cards of the Tarot, the Nine of Cups indicates a time of satisfaction and completion! Your wishes and desires are finally beginning to manifest, leaving you with a renewed sense of emotional stability and spiritual strength. You are at a healed stage that comes after struggles have passed. Now is the time to enjoy life’s pleasures and luxuries after everything you have worked for. A positive balance of self fulfilled dreams and intuitive insights. Additional Meanings: Romantic fulfillment • Advancement • Goodwill • Dreams • Kindness • Healing • Abundance.

My hope for you this week is that you bring the lessons you learned from the full moon and eclipses, and you’re daring enough to continue to face the issues that keep coming up in your relationships. Face these problems and yourself head on. Be fair in the way you’re assessing the situation and see how you could have played a role in what’s transpired as well. If you can see yourself through Venus’ eyes, then you would know that you’re worthy and deserving of fulfilling relationships in your life. If you’re ready for the work it takes to get there, then your head and your heart will be in the right place <3

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
