Hello lovelies,
April's gestation period has released its hold on us. As mandrake, our heads emerged first; the body followed. In April, we were asked to stay still while closing old chapters and finalizing our ideas for our futures. In May, we find ourselves completely above ground and fully mobilized to charge into the new chapter with our fully formulated ideas in mind.
As always, the forecast below is a general reading for what we need to be hearing as a collective. Enjoy!
Energy for this Month: Knight of Swords ~ Warrior bee~
Now that April's chapter has been closed, we are being called now to act on our well formulated alchemized thoughts that we formed during our prior gestation period. Our head is on our shoulders and we can trust what we are directly receiving. We are currently in direct transmission with the divine, in terms of our intellectual and logical inspiration, as well as our communication.
This month we are inspired to pierce through any obstacles. We are inspired to launch forth and actualize our ideas into the material realm. As the Knight of Swords, we are embodying a forward looking, visionary energy and we are fully seated in our intuition. Our intellectual ideas are augmented by working with our spiritual compass. While it is tempting to keep our eye on the prize, it is important to remember that we can reap gold through the journey, not just the destination. There is a wealth of mental enlightenment to be had on the yellow brick road.
Love: Seven of Wands ~Sunflower~
This month in love we have the full power of the sun behind us. The potential for unconditional love is in full bloom if we look to where we can find constancy, harmony and peace within and without. Rather than feeling subject to the cyclical ups and downs, the "love me, love me nots," where can we find peace in the divine Eternal? Just as the sunflower, we can reach to the Sun of divine eternal love to nourish us. We are empowered to transmute harmful energies into a field of gold. When we feel isolated from the divine experience, like the sunflowers we can turn to each other and lend each other our light. We are in the right place this month to receive and accept this kind of love.
Money: Five of Swords ~Scarecrow~
In the realm of money, we are like Dorothy and the Scarecrow seeking out the wonderful Wizard of Oz. Because, because, because of the wonderful things he does. We are feeling impacted by inflation and the current financial market--and it feels like all we can do with the resources we have available to power through and create or sustain an ideal lifestyle. We seem to be holding our breaths and waiting for a mystical Oz to resolve the situation. We want to magically arrive at the other side and skip the growing pains that the economic ecosystem is forcing upon us. We are sending out an SOS to someone or some future beyond us to get us past this limitation.
But we have to keep growing, persisting, and practicing with the sword in our hands. We want to know what we could do "if we only had X knowledge or X personal connection that we do not have." However we have to keep overcoming one obstacle at a time in our overall quest, to sharpen our confidence in our navigation abilities and that which we seek to become. It will be a slow and steady journey but we will ultimately reach the goal we are envisioning.
Work: Five of Cups ~Tin Man~
If with money we felt like the Scarecrow, than with work we feel like the Tin Man. We are being asked to strengthen our relationship with the heart center when it comes to progressing in our work goals. This is where we need to work to stay seated in our intuition. When we first entered the work force, we started with a lot of heart even if we were naive or did not have a lot of experience. Realistic experience has adapted our initial ideals, but we should still honor the core values we started out with. Rather than becoming hardened by our experiences and turning into a Tin Man, we should seek to maintain our heart and our courage. Even now, we don't know what lies ahead--the surprises, wisdoms and obstacles that are in store. Follow the yellow brick road and let your silver shoes lead you one step at a time. You have more power than you know.
Health: Star ~Witch of the North~
This month we have the star's protection. She has a cooling kiss on our foreheads that brings us peace and hope. We are being asked to step in sync with the flow of life, and with healing earth energy. We find grounding in Earth, and healing in her fertile waters. When we sync in with this energy, we know we are on the right path. The Mother of all is our hope, our guardian and we are in her care. However, she does not make the journey for you--you must choose to align with her.
Spirit: Reverse 7 of swords ~Dorothy returned from Oz~
In Spirit, it is hard to remember we are the hero on a divine journey; as we are bound to a mortal life on an earthly realm. We are humbled by the human experience, and as such we may struggle to recall that we are an empowered knight on a mythic quest. We are like Dorothy who has experienced our magical abilities in Oz... but after enough time in Kansas those memories begin to fade and it feels like it was all a dream. We must hold onto the memories of our higher self and our higher abilities, and integrate them back into our daily lives.
Thanks!
Zoe
