Dedrik (Deh-drick) – Karma, Past Life
A situation influenced by past life memories. A pre-determined karmic experience with someone from your soul group. Trust in the process, honor the experience, and remember to see obstacles as opportunities for growth.

This month of one energy represents inventive and new approaches and signals a rewrite: it's time to heal old wounds by rewriting old stories. It's worth taking a moment to read and understand what ancestral healing is as this will be the driving force behind changes this month. 

Ancestral healing is healing the unresolved emotional issues and belief systems inherited from your ancestors. Recognizing where your unconscious loyalty to your ancestors is influencing you can have deep healing benefits for all generations: past, present, and future. Your ancestors all have a story and you inherit their stories as an opportunity to heal them. When you are willing to bring family patterns to awareness you can then heal and transform them. And while honouring your ancestors, you give yourself permission to move forward and write your own story with greater personal power, freedom and ancestral support. Ancestral patterns and belief systems can manifest in your life in many different forms, including anxiety, lack, anger, shame, pain, addiction, fear, phobias, illness, depression, and more.

Unity is a word that Spirit brings through strongly as a theme for October, as well as the vibration of the number five which represents lessons learned through experience. I'm shown an image of the seven dwarves from Disney and them singing as they happily walk home from work, but instead of 'Hei ho', they are singing, 'Heave ho!' This month will shine a spotlight into areas and choices where energy is being unnecessary leaked. There is such ample opportunity to clear out long-held patterns and beliefs around health, money, love, work, etc. We've got a full moon on October 9th adding to the powerful release energy before the rebirth. Spirit shows someone tugging so hard on a big rope only to drop it and realize there ultimately was no resistance. Free yourself! Be willing to think and choose differently. Disengage from what isn't working and focus your energy on a new approach. This is how you will be able to heal from any lingering burn-out and depletion.

You'll be surprised how quickly things can transpire and turn around this month when you commit and embrace conquering new territory. Independence is surging this month and you'll feel ripe to reclaim your confidence and renew your sense of self. Air and fire element will be extra strong this month so if you're an air or fire sign you might experience even deeper transformation. Where are you fighting things? And how can you allow the fight to become a flow? The ego can rail against how unfair and horrible things are, wanting you to be a victim, or your higher self can breathe new life into healing changes and help you focus on how much stronger and wiser your experiences are making you. Sometimes the ship needs to sink and you'd be better off taking your life raft to discover new land rather than fight to cling to the old. Choose your battles wisely as your energy is precious. If you channel it consciously and with awareness, the floodgates to new abundance open, while the support to navigate any further stormy seas will readily find you. Your mantra for this month is: Increase the peace.

Chief Nimble – Ceremony, Ritual
Create and practice a daily ritual, such as a morning and evening prayer with meditation. Connect with your guides through sacred ceremony. Work with the four elements and four directions of North/Earth, West/Water, East/Air and South/Fire to create transformation and healing.

Ready for less topsy-turvy and a little more linear energy? This month wants to bring you just that. There is a crescendo that will peak mid-month and then you will experience a decline in the emotions and extremity that have been dominating as of late. This will allow you to regroup and find centre. You will be asked to create a new homebase, or strengthen an existing one. There will still be a lot of adaptation called for throughout the fall, but the enhanced clarity of goals will feel good. This coupled with the fire energy this card represents will support an increase in movement and motivation. Pay attention to the full moon on September 10th as it's going to be a powerful one! It's time to bury the past, to forgive and forget. Fall equinox is on September 22nd. Master number 22 represents balance, harmony, relationship, and cooperation. The 9 energy of September supports letting go and completion. I highly recommend partaking in a fall equinox ceremony. 

This will be a month of reckoning and renewal as you are called upon to give your full awareness to areas you may have been avoiding or acting out on. This is a time to look at things with the new perspective you gained last month, to dig deep and make the necessary positive healing changes. What does your foundation need? And how are you going to go about strengthening it? No surface repairs, it's time for a cathartic release and full root chakra renewal. Like the card states, this will show up in your daily routine and rituals. What do you need to do to enhance your well-being, and that of your family? If you got away from sitting together as a family at the dinner table, it's time to get back on track. If you've been letting technology or distractions take away from your self-care time, it's time to put down the phone and get out in nature or hit the gym. This is a divinely guided reset that allows you to find your new flow. Don't love what you're doing? Focus on why you're doing it. 

This is a month of serving the needs of the group versus the individual. This theme will play out in changes to systems, businesses, and families. Spirit calls it the beginning of a "community comeback." It's not so much about sacrifice as it is about reparation. It's about stepping up and digging in, not overthinking things but just doing what needs to get done. No more resenting life and its challenges or responsibilities, it's time to rejoice in them. A practical and steadfast approach will fast track your greatest outcome. You may just find out you end up somewhere you never thought you wanted to be, but it turns out to be quite fulfilling. It will be an active fall followed by a still winter of integration. Happy fall equinox!

Mrs. McCullum – Health, Healing
Take care of the physical body through regular exercise, a healthy diet and sleep. A healer who uses their gifts to help others. Find harmony and balance with both traditional and alternative medicine, honor all aspects of the healing arts.

Expansion and advancement were the first words I heard when I pulled this card. You may find yourself discovering and trying new modalities and methods of healing, exercise, diet, restful activities, and more. If something isn't working, try something new! As you've been in this process of letting go and levelling up, it's to be expected that new methods of support may be needed. You may always have your mainstays but it's also great to experience new people, places, and things. This is a great month to discover new layers of yourself, new opportunities, new understanding, new acceptance, new locations, new relationships, new depths...you get the idea!

This is a moment in time where you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You're not fully out of the tunnel yet but you're also no longer in the dark. As you look back you realize you've journeyed further than you thought, and you did it quite fast. You'll start to experience more moments of relief and release coupled with anticipation and some healthy nerves associated with new beginnings. Fortitude will continue to serve you as you make choices that allow for a fuller expression of your unbridled self. Choices made from the inside-out will be sustainable and bear continuous fruit. Choices made from the outside-in won't last long, and you'll find yourself in a cycle of rinse and repeat.

This is a 'back to the basics' moment in a refreshing way. Your foundation may have been dug up in one way or another but you get to lay a new one; an upgraded, renovated version. One of the three basic steps Spirit reminds you of is: Ask, listen, and trust. Ask for what you want, listen to your intuition, and trust Spirit to deliver your greatest outcome. Let the basic principles align your inner and outer worlds more harmoniously. Something you might have judged as a misstep might ultimately lead to more magic. 

Sometimes you fly out of the nest and other times you get pushed out, but either way you can find your wings. And it's time to not only fly a little higher than you have before, to see from a different perspective than you have before, but to also uncover new territory. As you've shed or integrated old layers/versions of yourself, you are now ready to enjoy some much-needed support and comfort.

Gargoyles – Silence, Guarded
Suppressed feelings that need to surface and be felt. Let your guard down and open your heart. Thinking versus feeling, let go of limitations and surrender.

Okay everyone, we are kicking off July with a shadow card. Though you might automatically associate a shadow card as something bad, it's quite the opposite, it's an opportunity for a profound shift, and deep healing. Gargoyles are viewed by many as protectors and guardians. The image I'm first shown is of a gargoyle's stone cracking and shattering followed by him taking flight. There is a new wave of direction that you'll be integrating this month. Perhaps how you used to define yourself, or something significant in your life, has changed. For example, maiden to mother, or operator to owner. You are breaking free of the past and flying forward into the next-level-you. 

As the card meaning states, this is a month to process your emotions. Don't suppress things, whatever comes up needs your attention. It's not there to annoy you, it's there to guide you. If you're angry, grieving, scared, or uncertain, this is a time to dive deep and explore the root cause behind those feelings. You can stuff things down and you can ignore things but that doesn't mean they'll go away. Those suppressed feelings will build until they get your attention, like a volcano eager to erupt. It may be weeks, months, or even years, but they won't 'disappear' until they have been processed and transformed for your greater good. Be willing to receive help, be fearless about acknowledging your limitless divine truth; and if someone you know is in need, then serve and be served. 

This isn't a time to sweep something under the rug to deal with later. It's a time to make important connections. It's a time to remember your inner light and to reignite it if need be, or to further fuel it. Insights are inbound! This is a month to be aware of any area you may find yourself putting a shine on things. You deserve to be your most authentic, healthy, and fulfilled self. Follow your feelings, let them take you to the healing changes that are awaiting you. Don't judge a feeling as good or bad: some of the most uncomfortable emotions are the most valuable. As the saying goes, "Some dance in the rain, others just get wet." You are never stuck, healing changes are always available. Surrender, and trust in Spirit to deliver your highest possibility. Your heart is ready to bust open, and if you've felt like you've forgotten who you are, and what your purpose is, get ready to explore new territory and know yourself more deeply than ever. Being in the in-between and the challenges that come with life's transitions isn't easy, but it is a prime opportunity for healing, growth, and personal breakthrough. As Lao Tzu said: “When I let go of who I am, I become what I might be.” Be in the present moment and choose peace, the benefits may surprise you.
 
To sum it up, this may very well be a master of a month for regeneration and spiritual awakening...if you allow it to be.

Ralph – Rest, Sacred Space
The need for downtime, press pause and relax awhile. Create an altar or sacred space. Visit a historic site or monument.

Nature nurtures! Get outside, walk barefoot on the Earth, and let Mother Nature heal you. This month you ground into the new; it's a month of acceptance, and progress. You'll be kicking self-doubt to the curb as you find yourself in a taskmaster mindset, ready to tackle whatever comes your way. You'll enjoy your rest time that much more after feeling accomplished with any to-do lists. We are in a month of six and this means you may find yourself needing to deal with finances, material objects, and worries associated with everyday responsibilities. However, as Spirit has shared, if you're willing to bravely tackle those, your downtime will feel like a just reward. The six vibration seeks to increase your harmony and balance, so you'll be in a process of letting go. If you're in doubt, let it go! "Less is more" will be your mantra this month. It's this surrender and acceptance that will move any imbalanced focus from the outside, within. Remember, you're a soul having a human experience. Move from your soul and make choices from your heart. This is a month where you'll reconnect with what really matters, guiding your choices to be in alignment with your values and wishes. 

I'm shown contracts being signed, deals closing, and a sense of restful conclusion. You are encouraged to tie up loose ends and embrace the vulnerability associated with spiritual growth. Expansion; things that you let go of this month will open doors that will see new possibilities present themselves all the way through to the end of October. With the grounding energy at play this month you are able to access stability and enhance your foundation for the future. Spirit encourages you to look at the energy of this month as presents vs presence. Think of a special occasion and ask yourself whether you would rather have a physical gift or a memorable moment? The energy of this month supports self-connection and seeing clearly. Show your third eye some love and enjoy visualizing your heart's desires. Remember, manifesting isn't about ticking boxes but focusing on the feeling behind the manifestation. Look within and you'll always win.

'Restoration' is the first word that comes up as I pull this card. This is a month to bring your energy back from any negative people, influences or energies. If you have any health concerns or conditions, this is a good time to get on top of them or advance any healing strides. You might have had a lot going on, and your health is crying out for more attention and care. Put a hand on your heart and a hand on your belly, close your eyes, and ask your body, mind and soul what resource would best support you right now. What area of your health needs attention? You may still be a busy bee with the Spring energy and lots of healing changes, but make yourself a priority. Know when to stop a task and schedule in your regular healing and quiet time. 

With healing, you can experience the shadow side or the sun side, as I like to refer to them. This month you step forward into the sun as the shadow starts to leave. You'll want to give your solar plexus some extra care and attention after last month's culmination energy upped the ante concerning identity, personal will, and choice. With the focus on health and healing, let your intention be that any struggles become strength. Move your worry and doubt into faith and trust; prayer, affirmations and positive thinking are prime for reconditioning. Any opportunities that pop up this month are rooted in greater harmony and balance, wanting to put you on your highest path, so if your priorities are off, you can expect it to be made extra clear this May. This is also a month where you may experience important insights or epiphanies about particular health issues and concerns. You may suddenly connect the dots between symptoms and their ailments, find a long wait time is suddenly over, or have a breakthrough in treatment and recovery. 

Anticipate good news and positive changes, take care of yourself and you'll quickly feel the benefits. Spirit shows me a battery being charged: it's time to restore those energy levels and feel like your new self. But remember to keep the pressure off; each small sustainable change adds up to a long-term gain. You can work with the colour green, and Archangel Raphael, as you ask to be in—and stay in—your optimal health and wellness. 

Edwin – Rebirth, Peace
A difficult cycle is coming to an end and relief is here. A time of blissful renewal and rebirth. A personal sense of deep peace and tranquility.

I'm sure many of you will be as happy as I am to see we don't have another shadow card this month! Thank you, Spring Equinox. Be sure to mark Sunday, March 20th on your calendar and take some time to perform sacred ceremony, connect with Spirit, with nature, and celebrate the return of the sun and the associated rebirth. People are eager to reconnect with a sense of beauty, inspiration, and enthusiasm. Spirit has been sharing repeatedly in sessions that this Spring Equinox will be a significant turning point for people: healing progress and forward movement will pick up pace as a lighter energy slowly emerges. 

Personal power is the name of the game this month. Your solar plexus and sacral chakras are ready to shine as you strengthen your core and fearlessly forge ahead with exploring a new path, or evolving an existing one. Many people are burnt out, bored, and desperate to feel a renewed sense of purpose. This month is very supportive of connecting with insights and feelings that answer your heart's longing, and your soul's calling. Work with white light to continuously cleanse the path ahead. You are encouraged to pace yourself to avoid unnecessary setbacks. Air element and the colour light blue will also be good energies to work with as the changes you are experiencing are leading you to a fuller and more authentic expression of your true self. Air element will help you maintain a practical approach, strengthening you mentally to research and plan your next steps wisely, with cautious consideration. Things you commit to now will be for the long-term, making it harder to go back on choices, or return from them, so you are encouraged to make sure your commitments feel right and are for your highest good.

Edwin is a character that dies and is reborn as a baby unicorn. Spirit shares there is a cycle of grief that many people have been in since childhood that is now coming full circle. What stories are you still carrying that aren't truly yours? Are you still running old tapes that you are unlovable, or somehow unworthy? Are you buying into the notion that you have to be anything other than who you are? Your struggles don't make you weak, they show you where you're still growing and healing. It's time to put a stop to negative self-beliefs and remember the unique and beautiful soul that you are. Practice less self-judgment and self-doubt, and more self-acceptance and self-healing. Stop selling yourself short. You may think you are choosing peace in finding a quick resolution when in fact you are distracting yourself from finding the long-term peace Spirit is guiding you to. Your mantra for this month is: I am living my divine destiny. 

You've just come out of a shadow month and Spirit reminds you that your emotions need to move. You are encouraged to find healthy outlets and seek support in doing so. You've most likely heard the saying, "God helps those who help themselves", and this month, if you are willing to do so, you have the potential to feel like a light switch has been turned on inside you. The new purpose revealing itself to you will manifest as a budding motivation and increasing feeling of relief and calm. Peace is power. 

Greys – Worry, Indecision
​Feeling blocked or stuck, a stalemate, the need for action steps. A call for commitment, make a choice and make it happen. Let go of perfection and focus on progress, mix the ideal with the real to get moving.

Okay, folks, February is a shadow card, which means you want to approach this month with openness, acceptance, and be ready to tap into your available resources of support. The less expectation you carry into this month, the better it will feel. There may be something you have been resisting or putting off that you will need to come face to face with. Or there may be something less than desirable that you are tackling this month, but the only way out is through, so you'll need to dig in, keep the faith, and surrender. Use any mantras you find comforting such as, "This too shall pass". It will be a bit of a "grin and bear it" kind of month, so try to find and embrace moments of rest and release where you can. If you have people who can make you laugh, this is their month to shine! And hopefully you can be that person for others too, as a sense of humour will be a most valuable tool. Whenever there is a shadow card, it's not a sign of something bad but rather you can expect to find yourself in transition and needing to be in the present moment, with the possibility of making a significant shift. Balance out any spots of heaviness or overwhelm with deep breathing, gratitude, and positive affirmations. 

One of the positives is that this energy is about reflecting and releasing. I see an image of someone watching their life review or going through old photos and scrapbooking. Take the good memories, learn from the not-so-good, and shift your focus forward. This month forces you to leave the past behind and find a fresh perspective. Prioritize wisely. What you conquer this month can ultimately create more strength and peace.

This month primarily asks you to forgive. You are invited to forgive, and in so doing, be free. Is there anyone that you are holding anger or resentment toward? Are there any relationships in your life that you desire to heal? Remember, you don't need another person to be on board to forgive—forgiveness is for you. You can forgive someone you are not in contact with. It energetically means you aren't carrying forward unnecessary pain or burden. Be willing to recognize the wounded child or loveless child behind someone's pain, and you can more easily forgive. It's time to heal. Be self-reflective.

When you are processing shadow energy you can easily feel emotionally overwhelmed, so keep in conversation with Spirit, speaking aloud your fears, praying, and asking for signs and help. Anything you are confronted with this month serves to bring you closer to yourself. Ensure to acknowledge aspects of yourself you might have dismissed or not given credit to. You are stronger than you think you are, and at the end of this month you will feel it. Spirit shows me something hiding under a rock and being coaxed out. Let the light be cast into any remaining shadows so progress can be made.

Don't be hasty this month, and don't take things for granted. This time calls for a rational and practical approach. Earth element will dominate as much of what is cleared will be connected to root chakra and foundation. Plant your feet firmly and take a step-by-step approach, and before you know it, you'll find yourself on the other side of any troubling situations, birthing the new light you unearthed.

Something fun I like to do is hit shuffle on a playlist and ask Spirit to land it on a song that they most want me to hear in that moment. This song from one of my favorite bands came up recently and it really resonated with me as a theme for this year. As we move from pandemic to endemic, a reminder to see through the eyes of your inner child, and return to safety, and the only real truth, which is divine love.
