Collective Energy Tarot Reading: January 19th - 25th

 I woke this morning with a happy heart, grateful for another day of life and filled with love for self and others. However, there was this lingering feeling of imbalance. Although I felt very balanced myself, I learned that this lingering feeling was coming from a greater collective source of energy.

If you have been feeling "off", imbalanced, a little moody or uprooted and not sure why, just know that you are not alone. This is a feeling of the collective. There are a lot of events happening worldwide and for those in the United States, we are shifting and transitioning on many different levels throughout our country. 

Recent events with social media, politics, worldwide crises (and the list goes on) can create a sense of instability -- IF WE ALLOW THEM TO.

I decided to fast for the morning and only had water to drink so that I could sit in a quiet space and deeply connect with my higher self and Guides. As I sat, I was encouraged to pull some cards -- so I did. 

The message that came through almost made me break down in tears, but not in the way that you may be thinking.

The tarot cards that were pulled were  "The Star" in reverse (upside down), The 10 of Cups and the Sovereign of Cups. From my oracle deck, "Reclaim", "The Explorer" and "Compassion" were popped right out as I was shuffling.

When I read cards, I connect on an intuitive level. I ask my guides to provide me with divine messages that I may share with whoever is open to receiving them. I remain an open vessel to receive whatever needs to come through. My guides more than deliver. They provide me with so much insight but not just that -- safety, reassurance, love. As they know the human side of me (of all of us) can tend to allow ego to drive from time to time. 

I will explain through the message from my guides, and what I received from higher consciousness. After, I will review and give a breakdown of each card. Think about the meaning of each card and if there is an intuitive message that comes through for you, journal about it, connect with your higher self about it. Sit with it and show gratitude for it coming to you.

There is a collective uncertainty about how our world is changing right now. Some of the collective may feel overwhelmed and may feel as if we are living either a nightmare or very surreal period of life. There is a focus on scarcity and fear. This is temporary and for the collective, the divine message focuses on the requirement that we do not live with fear, scarcity or with limitations. It's not necessary for us. We are truly infinite beings. The human collective is in a space of transformation. This world is gifted with greatness, but as a balance, this world experiences contrast and difficulty. Earth energy is highly dense. This means that we must push past the darkness to see the light, because as earth elevates to light, the darkness  pushes back.

Don't fear -- the world is rebirthing and it's a beautiful time to take part in its evolution. Once the collective pushes past this evolution period, there will be celebration, community, peace, reconnection (with those we love, with our neighbors, with humanity overall).

During this period, we are encouraged to go within. Allow yourself to reside within the confines of your higher consciousness. Allow yourself to feel peace and certainty knowing that our "timeline" as humanity is right on track. Higher consciousness, God, Spirit (or however you prefer to acknowledge) is working through us and for us. Affirm it. Know it. Be solid in this knowing. You deserve that.

This is a period where you are to focus on reclaiming your power. What does this mean? Our soul and the universe operate on the vibration of love and enlightenment. In order to surpass misalignment and move into alignment, these are the frequencies we need to match. 

This is what reclaiming your power means: Raise your frequency to FEEL love. Feel love for your family, love for your partner, your pet, children and friends. When focused on love, practicing this feeling for the aforementioned people is easy. Now -- you also need to feel love for the people who've hurt you. Did you flinch or question why you should feel love for these people? That's good. If you feel activated by feeling love for someone who hurt you, it's very purposeful and a beautiful way for your higher self to say "It's time to work on that".

The next thing you must do is stop listening to fear mongering messages. Instead remain inquisitive and explore the world around you. Have you stepped out in nature? Have you placed your bare feet on the ground? Have you connected with local neighbors? Have you traveled to a place you've always wanted to go? Allow you human self to connect with your soul self. 

Finally, expand your ability to be compassionate. This resonates with feeling love. Love and compassion can cure so much when the world is hurting. No matter how connected you feel you already are, spread the compassion energy throughout your community. We must do our best to understand others and work on ourselves to bridge any disconnect we may be experiencing right now.

THE CARDS..

TAROT

(from left to right on the top row)

THE STAR (REVERSED) : When The Star is upright, it symbolizes alignment, hope and happiness. Reversed, we feel uncertainty, loss, a shaken foundation. This is time where grounding is required and removing yourself from distractions.

THE 10 OF CUPS: Celebration, peace, connection, happiness and contentment are reached after a period of time. Find beauty in the ordinary moments. Share and spread peace. Reconnect with loved ones. We are ultimately one being and interconnected with every living thing.

SOVEREIGN OF CUPS: Intuition, kindness, empathy. Hold space for people. Lean into others who are holding space for you. Use intuition over logic and ego. Connect with your heart and trust you are being led toward something greater. 

ORACLE

(from left to right on bottom row)

RECLAIM: You were born as a perfectly imperfect human with gifts, talents, medicine, wisdom and knowing. Growing up in a culture that does not nurture these gifts creates misalignment with our highest truth. Reclamation can be a lifetime process, as it is continually awakening to ancient medicine we knew in other lifetimes and soul wisdom. While there is no rulebook or map for this journey, this card calls your attention to what stirs deep inside your soul memory. We are often drawn to places, people, experiences, music, etc. that we know on a cellular level but our logical mind may not understand why. This card asks you to follow your intuition, trust that desire, and follow it. Reclaim your knowing, your power, your medicine and your healing. Enjoy the mystery and stories unfolding.

THE EXPLORER: The explorer calls you out of your routine and into a rhythm with your deepest self and all that is around you. When people think "explore," sometimes they conjure up images of grand traveling expeditions. And while travel can be illuminating and profound, do not fool yourself into thinking that the experiences you need are out of your reach. Explore from exactly where you are. Explore on your own by doing new things and projects. Explore your current environment, even if it's just taking a different route on your way to work. The Explorer calls for a shake up of the typical and the ordinary.

A balanced Explorer is driven by a need for freedom and to learn about the world around them. They do not like to be bound by society's expectations, instead they prefer that their external world reflects their internal world of mystery and curiosity.

An Explorer out of balance can have some ungroundedness and instability. Those that struggle being present with themselves may become addicted to constantly moving and going new places, doing new things, meeting new people.

Explorers may also have a tendency to refuse to sacrifice their freedom in the immediate, risking their ability to survive/ build for their future. Example: not getting a steady job because they want to travel, only to find themselves in debt years later and are then forced to sacrifice their freedom so they can survive. If this resonates with you, consider spending more time in solitude with no distractions. Allow for stillness, see what needs to be unearthed within you.

COMPASSION: Now more than ever we need to expand our ability to be compassionate - towards self and others. There has been a trend in shaming and rejecting people who disagree with us and justifying doing so by using sweeping generalizations.

Compassion calls us to remember that every human is a product of their environment and is incredibly nuanced. If we want to be truly compassionate, we dive deeper - we do not build a wall. No matter how correct we believe we are, we must do our best to understand others and their experiences.

Their lived experiences have created their truth, and if we want to create a world of connection, we cannot afford to outcast those who do not agree. We have to work hard within ourselves to bridge the gaps. Keep in mind, in some situations compassion can take the form of a wall or a fist, but most of us humans are not perfect and we live in the grey area - good, but wounded. And in that, we need more intentional compassion and connection rather than punishment. How can you be more compassionate in your current life? Where have you built walls that do not serve you?

RAISE YOUR VIBRATION. OPERATE FROM A PLACE OF LOVE. EXPERIENCE SOUL GROWTH.

With love and light always,
