IT’S OK TO FEEL GOOD.

It’s ok to want to feel good.

It’s ok to feel good even when other people do not— even when they want to bond through shared misery.

It’s ok to feel good even if bad things happen for senseless reasons.

It’s ok to do things that feel good for you, just because you want to.

It’s ok to want to create something that helps other people feel good.

It’s ok to prioritize doing things that enable you to feel good even if people don’t “get” those things or don’t share your love for them

Weekly Tarot Reading April 18th

This week’s reading is represented by the Justice Tarot card. After our full moon in Libra this weekend, it is quite timely to get a Major Arcana card that is represented by that sign. For the week ahead, we can expect fairness, honesty, clear communication and external events that have dictated our lives coming back into balance.

Libra is a sign that tends to fixate on balance, harmony and creating equilibrium wherever it goes. It thrives on mental stimulation, high art, commerce, fashion, romance and symmetry. It makes sense that we are visited by the energy when it is time to tune up our lives and balance the scales. As lady justice in the Tarot, she is an exacting taskmaster.

If there are things regarding communication that have not been up to par, this week will allow us to gain a stage in which we are properly heard. In any case, honesty remains the best policy. Fairness will be allocated to the deserving, and a chance to right the wrongs of the past will be granted to those who have acted out of alignment, allowing all parties a chance to take a breather, with knowledge of what it will take to orient themselves properly for the future.

We don’t have to fear the wrath of God, or being judged by our peers, but only to be honest with ourselves, and others with us. What was out of whack will be restored, and what was out of balance will return to order, for the good of all!

Using your illusion and the Importance of Etymology

Have you ever observed that words have many encoded functions in them? Depending on the context of how you use the word, it can mean something different. Etymology allows us to look at the origin of a particular word, and trace it to its origin.

First we can look at a popular tale from the Bible referred to as the “Tower of Babel”. In this story, mankind generally speaks the same language, and develops their scientific and architectural abilities at an impressive rate. This rapid development fills the people of Earth so much confidence that they set their wills toward building a tower so high that it reaches into heaven so that they may commune with God.

The people of Earth began building this tower, and it got so gigantic that it reached far past the clouds in the sky, nearly touching Heaven. God grew displeased, and struck the tower down out of anger. Every brick and mortar fell to the ground including the people in the tower. To ensure that this feat never happen again, God then scrambled the people’s speech so that they could not understand each other, and thus could not communicate with each other effectively enough to work together to construct the tower again.
According to this tale, this is where our ancient tongues came into formation.

Whether or not you choose to take the story literally or you think of it as a fairytale, there is information about our origin as a species encoded into it. That we all have a root one world language, and that any subsequent language is the same language rearranged, and pronounced with slight variations.

Etymology allows us to trace our linguistic origins back to a single point, and when we observe language from that singular point, we are tapping into a mind or worldview that was the closest to the point of our creation. All languages contain words that are anagrams of the original tongue. An anagram is a word of phrase formed by rearranging letters of another, such as cinema which is formed from the word iceman.

Now the words to the naked eye may appear like they have no relation, but in studying the root of each word, there is a relating factor between the two. Kinemat means “to move” in Greek, and at a cinema, people go to observe pictures that appear to produce movement. Ice refers to a state of being that is the polar opposite of movement, like being frozen. The relationship in each of these words refer to the states of motion. Most anagrams of words, expose a state of being, and the culture around the state orients how that state functions in language.

We use the word cinema, almost pronouncing the first part of the word like “sin”, whereas the ancient greats would us a “Kuh” sounding syllable. Somehow there is a strange relationship, albeit loose, between the two. Have you ever heard we are born in sin? Or what about the phrase, we are spiritual being having a physical experience?

Could being born in sin refer to sinewave expressed in which something rises and eventually as to falls and goes back up again into infinity? Check this out. The ancient Sumerian word for moon was called “Sin”. We are born in sin. We are born in sine. We are born in a loop. Could the moon play a role in how we are born into this physical existence? It’s certainly a fun thing to think about!

Weekly Reading April 11th 2022

This week’s reading is represented by the Two of Cups from the tarot. This is a wonderful energy to witness because we have the opportunity to merge with someone, or something greater than ourselves. In an ever changing, and fast paced world, it can be a relief to know that we all get someone to lean on in tough times.

The biggest obstacle we will have to face this week in one of speaking to how we feel about another person. Risking rejection by conjuring the inner fortitude to ask for what we want from another will play a major role in the days ahead.

For many of us, we have been in a place where we have been having to pour into our own cup, tend to our own emotions, and lick our own wounds. While being independent is a powerful skill to have in today’s world, it is not the only tool we are to master wielding. We must also exist in relationships that have a mutual benefit for both parties.

Some of us have partnerships that are working but have lost a level of attention to detail, or intimacy. This is the perfect week to rededicate efforts toward honoring existing partnerships by hitting the reset button.

There will be a situation where what we have been seeking appears to us right under our noses and it is up to us to speak to wanting its presence around consistently. Whether it’s a romantic partner, business partner, new job, or new place to live, we will have to initiate the conversation, in order to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

This situation can cause excitement, grief, hot headedness, aloofness, mood swings, scrambled speech, and a lot of suppressed energy to come to the surface unless we act on it responsibly. We will also be inspired to honor the ones in our lives who have proven their loyalty by vocalizing our love for them as well.

How will you express your desire to come into union with what you want this week? Will you run from it? Will you speak to it? Will you play it safe? Will you wait for the right time to act? There is no wrong answer, because you cannot ruin what is meant for you!!

Weekly Reading 4/3/2022

This week’s reading is represented by the 3 of Wands. This week will inspire us toward expanding our horizons. We can expand our horizons by researching our special interests, preparing for taking a calculated risk, taking a new class, adding changes to our routine, eating new cuisine, choosing to allow our vulnerabilities to show, talking to strangers, the list goes on…

We can expect to see forward movement that was launched by our past endeavors and finally experience confidence about our abilities to craft the life we want. For many of us, we have been interfacing with a dense resistance, with many obstacles that made our journey seem insurmountable without divine intervention.
With this week, we will get a bit of reprieve from brutal opposing forces, and get a chance to get into research mode so that we can explore what our next options may be, and some opportunities to get out of our comfort zone, without experiencing a torrential range of crippling emotions.

Lastly, we will discover that our pathway toward our destinations may not be as daunting as we originally thought, because when we choose to expand, the universe will bless us with an unexpected leg up in our journey forward.

So... start that new class, read that book, call up that old friend, watch that criterion collection movie. We must expand our minds this week to make room for the new. You are fully protected in your exploration!

New Moon Reading for April 1st

On the 1st of April, the moon will enter a new cycle in the sign of Aries, prompting us to charge forward without fear or abandon toward are innermost desires. Emotional blockages that seemed so immense will become small, and it will be easier to tackle our to do list without feeling bogged down by negative thoughts and limiting beliefs.

Since this energy placement is coming from the moon, it is our subconscious minds that will get the prompting to move forward, and not necessarily our innate thought process that will get us to the finish line. In many ways, this is a blessing. How many times have we thought about cleaning out the refrigerator but not felt like doing it? How many times have we thought about going to the gym, or running that extra mile, only to hit some inner resistance in our feeling centers of our being?

With this new moon, we will have all of our emotions pointing us in the direction for renewal and a return to simplicity. With the help of Aries, we will feel in tune with our innate sense of charm, confidence, and inner determination. For those of us who have been stuck in a holding pattern, this can seem like a dream come true.

What we will have to guard against is being a bit too head strong or acting out impulsive emotions that may arise and combat the Aries habit of needing to be right, and needing to be first. We will also experience torrential mood swings that go from 0-100 and back, rapidly.

The New Moon is a great time to set new intentions, take on new challenges, and set out on a new course, and this new moon will be an exceptional time for us to climb out of hibernation and move forward.

Full Moon Reading 3/18/2022

This month's full moon in Virgo is challenging us to embrace our inner power and move forward with courage and faith. We do not need to know the details of our journey ahead of us in order for each of us to reach our destination. It is time the we have faith that all the tools we need will be there for us at the right time.

The moon will have a very chaotic, yet cathartic effect on the population at large, illuminating the consequences we face by playing small and not living in our power. How have we routinely given our power away? How has is impacted our present moment?

What would the consequences be if we took off our blindfolds and took a raw and honest look at our world around us? What would that image looked like if we took away judgement and fear from that image?

What this moon is inspiring is bravery through forward movement through the unknown. Source will provide a light for each of us through this journey and all we are being asked to do is leave the details to the Universe.

The underlying truth is, we know that our paths ahead will lead to assured success, and that our true fears are manifesting in our day to day lives because we have been grieving the person we were, because we know that we will be stepping into a deeper resonance of our highest versions of self.

This full moon will aid each and every one of us to have the courage to make the small adjustments that we need to make, take responsibility for our own happiness, and take seemingly calculated risks toward our upgraded being by leaving behind outdated ideas of who we once were.
