Flower Fairies - Seasons, Celebration
Celebrate a holiday or special occasion. Prepare for the change of seasons or a significant life event, such as a birthday, graduation or anniversary. Indulge yourself, you deserve it.

"It's time," Spirit says. This month could see you enjoying good news or a pleasant surprise. At the very least you can expect enhanced clarity, decisiveness, and progress, as the wait feels over. Something you have been working on or healing has come full circle and you can celebrate its completion. Exhale. Enjoy a sigh of relief. As one of the meanings of this card states, indulge yourself, you deserve it. Self-love and self-confidence are eager to burst forward this month in a whole new light. Pat yourself on the back for your steadfast approach and perseverance; and now really open your heart to what you truly desire and deserve. It's time to stop focusing on what isn't working and to refocus your energy on what is. Remember, in any given moment you have a choice: love or fear. Choose love. This month of seven invites a welcome balance of your intellect and emotion. Whereas you may have found the pendulum swinging to extremes recently, you now discover center.

This is a month to be very honest with yourself, and with others. Authenticity is the answer to your prayers. And this card heralds a prayer being answered. If you have been doing your work and shedding the necessary layers, you have at last arrived in the new you. You will start to feel like yourself again. Your energy will begin to renew, and your passions will start to pick up. Spirit shows me the energy of a lazy river becoming a waterfall. You may find yourself inspired to kickstart something you've been putting off or haven't had the energy for. The past is where it belongs, behind you. And the future is yours for co-creating. You have released and healed a very deep-rooted and significant pattern in your life. You have courageously acknowledged and addressed a painful truth, faced the fear, and now get to connect with and enjoy the healed outcome. Remember all those times you questioned and doubted whether all the hard work was worth it? This month begins to reveal some of the rewards of your efforts. 

Funny as it may sound, doing the work can be hard, but what people often find even more challenging is receiving. Keep your heart open and know your worth. Value yourself and see that value reflected this month in the form of support, opportunity, courage, clarity, and new beginnings. Spread your wings and fly; it's time to venture forward and write a new story. As the saying goes, "nothing ventured, nothing gained". The only one standing between you and your best life, is you.

Bush People – Earth, Community
Join forces with others, make eco-friendly choices, help heal animals and the environment. Donate time to a charity, sign a petition, or volunteer for an important cause. A new pet.

This card certainly fits the six vibrations of June. Six is a very nurturing and loving number, like the energy of a maternal hug. And the Bush People are characters that are all about love, affection, and support. They teach you that you have to ask for what you want, otherwise, others might not know you need it. Don't know what you want? Not sure what you need? Ask Spirit for your highest possibility and greatest outcome. Focus on how you want to feel as opposed to decisions and specifics. If you do so, Spirit will always know the best direction for you, and will send you signs, synchronicity, and opportunities accordingly. This is a month to ask for a hand and to lend a hand. Be open to new possibilities but be detached from the details.

I'm shown images of things being built, a child playing with Lego, another stacking blocks, one thinking intently before drawing a picture. This will be a month of revision. You will find yourself restructuring and rebuilding. You can expect to modify your routine or create a new routine, that will allow for greater balance and gentleness. Don't be afraid to tweak and re-tweak as needed until you hit your sweet spot. The Bush People are always in pairs, or in a group, so there will be an added boost of supportive energy for group healing and teamwork. 

Last month afforded you the chance to get clear about what direction you wanted to move forward in, and what you wanted more or less of. This month your awareness and healing changes will start to manifest as you feel the energy rise up to meet you, making wee waves in that new direction. There will be slow but steady growth and movement. Time in nature will be most helpful. And it will be a great month to work on any outdoor projects such as a garden or deck. Alternatively, any indoor themed nature projects such as repotting plants or opening windows as you rearrange or refresh your space.

This month's message is to get to the heart of the matter. Connect with the 'why' behind things, as this will feed your willpower and help your motivation. Don't love what you're currently doing? Keep returning to why you are doing it. That may be your passion right now, as opposed to the work itself. You are asked to be extra conscious of your energy and words, what you're putting out into the world. Check in and make sure something is worth saying or sharing before doing so. You may find you've been expending energy or resources where they are not at all necessary. It's a great month to harness your energy, and restore your core, as suits your soul's personal journey. 

Meditations and crystals for the heart chakra and solar plexus will be most beneficial. And you are encouraged to work with the colors yellow and green. Picture the yellow light and power energy of your solar plexus rising up to wrap around and hold the green light and loving energy of your heart chakra. Your solar plexus personal power energy will be supporting your heart's longings and healing change. The worst is now behind you and it's time to catch your breath and come up for some well-deserved air. Balance, balance, balance. Don't leap and regret but plan and baby step. Be conscious of not biting off more than you can chew. Your drive may prove more ambitious than your energy reserves. And if you push yourself you'll find a one step forward, two steps back energy at play. Focus on finding center and try and enjoy the budding momentum. Stay present and conscious to what this time is affording you the opportunity to heal because before you know it, you'll be standing in the future picture that once seemed oh so far away. 

Chief Nimble – Ceremony, Ritual
Create and practice a daily ritual, such as a morning and evening prayer. 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. 

Of the above card meanings, the one that most stands out for this month is: Connect with your guides through sacred ceremony. You are reminded that you don't get what you don't ask for. And that you can't receive what you aren't willing to open up to. You'll always be given the answers if you're willing to ask, listen, and trust. Spirit describes February as a month where you will be called to dig deeper. Instead of soul searching, it'll be more of a soul dive. Notice the red colour and earth energy of this card, highlighting the root chakra. Chief Nimble is tribal energy that represents leadership, community, and authority. These aspects coupled with the root chakra energy mean you can expect an emphasis on things related to basic needs such as home, work, and safety. This is about going within to your heart space and then letting it manifest outside in the universe. If your emotional self is not connected to your outer world, your foundation is asking to be rearranged. Spirit shows me pressing shuffle on a playlist and trusting you'll land on the right 'soul song' for you. Is there anything you need to rearrange this month in order to find harmony? What root issues do you need to address? Are your inner and outer selves in alignment? Facing fears will come up this month as you are asked to access a new level of fearlessness.

Purification is a keyword this month. You are asked to clean house, figuratively and literally. Open your windows and light that stick of sage. Get those crystals out in the sunlight, or under the moonlight, for a recharge. I like to describe emotional energy blocks as weeds. Until you address the root issue you're going to find yourself in a tiring cycle of pluck and repeat. So dig into root issues and be fearless about addressing material and necessary concerns. You deserve to feel safe and a sense of home. If you've been tending to your energetic garden and pulling weeds, hang in there because new growth is on its way. You can expect an exciting new bud to sprout up any time now. Pay attention to signs, and keep your eyes and ears open. Most importantly, don't quit right before the miracle occurs!

You'll also notice the fire element associated with this card. Spirit may be turning up the heat  but you are reminded that you are only given what you can handle. Don't be afraid to explore things and try new methods and approaches. Sometimes we need to know what doesn't work before we can access what does. I'm shown the word independence being highlighted. This month is designed to move you closer to your self and some long-awaited new beginnings.

February is a month of two and I've always referenced the number two energy as a bit of a needed hug. You might be the one giving the hug, or you might be the one in need of it, but either way, let the internal and feminine side of the vibration keep you in a heart-centered space. This month is a meeting of the minds. Approach things with diplomacy and a positive detachment for optimal results. When dealing with earthy root issues it's more important than ever to trust your higher self to lead the way. One of my favourite visual tools is to picture yourself sitting on a mountain top with the ability to see the bigger picture from your higher self-perspective. Having your guides lift your vibration to this place will support you in progressing toward the most positive outcome.

Maeve (May-ve) - Moon, Goddess
A heart opening, embrace of Goddess and feminine energy. A strong sisterly bond, holding space for others, nurturing and maternal energy. Work with the moon cycles to sync your body and connect with Mother Earth.

​Happy New Year! January is a month of one, so we kick off 2020 by looking at the energy of the number one. One energy is like an open door, it’s a time for new beginnings and manifestation. (Cue the white light and angelic music.) What’s interesting is that you’ll notice the card for this month is the same card we had for October, which was also a month of one. Think back to October and what happened for you in that month. What did you birth that month? Did a significant change or clarity take place? You will find the same energy further evolving this month, or similar energy taking center stage. Whatever you opened up to in October, you will find yourself now grounding into a deeper sense of authority and power within it.

And with a moon card we must note that the full moon falls on the 10th, which is…more one energy! So this full moon take advantage by visualizing or engaging in a ritual that celebrates new beginnings. As a New Year's suggestion, I like to keep a digital vision board. I’m not a fan of having a big poster paper plastered on the wall but rather a file folder on the desktop that you can drag and drop images and text into. This way you can easily add and subtract at will, as your desires may change throughout the year. Once in awhile open up your vision board folder and spend some time feeling and visualizing your intentions to support their manifestation. It’s neat to see what desires remain the same, and which ones you might outgrow year to year.

Communication and creation are the words spirit bring through as your focus this month. I’m shown someone sitting in stillness and listening. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it’s easier said than done. People are more prone to talking than listening. You may find yourself wanting to hit the ground running and charge into 2020 right out of the gates but spirit is asking you to glide forward, not charge. Take the time to sit in stillness with spirit and practice your daily rituals in order to hear your divine guidance and act on it with awareness. If you leap before you listen you risk creating unnecessary setbacks and obstacles for yourself. Choose the path of least resistance as you set the tone for the year.

You’ll see from the card description above that one of the meanings of this card is a heart-opening. And with a heart-opening you are always receiving on a new level. That coupled with the one vibration has you asking yourself: What am I ready for? What do I deserve? Your responsibility is to allow and embrace it. This is why communication is key as you are guided to the action steps that will support your answered prayers. This is the time to ensure you open yourself up to the things you want. For example, if you’re looking to make new friends, you might spend some time looking for events or meet up groups that interest you. If you’re wanting to change jobs you might research and begin reaching out to worthy prospects. As you can see it’s all about starting to open, or to walk through, the open doors that the one energy is providing you. You set your intentions and let spirit guide your action steps to support the fruition of them.

It’s also important to highlight the power of the divine feminine/Goddess energy of this card which lends itself to your communication this month. This isn’t a time to sit back and let things slide but rather to practice self-honoring. If you’re setting the tone for the year then surely you want to do so from a place of self-love and self-esteem. This doesn’t need to be argumentative but assertive. If something negative is said or sent your way simply flip it by presenting the positive, or deflect and redirect. Nip negativity in the bud so you can stay centered in your positive new beginnings. If you're focused on moving forward with a blank page and clean slate you owe it to yourself not to let others pull you backward into the past.
​
May this 2020 year unfold with ease and grace for you, bringing forward your highest possibilities and greatest outcomes!

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. 

Winter solstice is December 21st and this is a most fitting card for it. Winter solstice is about the rebirth of the sun. It's a time to stand in your shadows of the past year and let the light illuminate them. This month marks a significant turning point in your transformation. The word that Spirit uses is actually, reinvention. Looking back on this year do you feel as if you've reinvented yourself? If so, congrats! That would mean you embraced change, rose to any challenges, and came out stronger and wiser. Don't fret if you don't quite feel that way yet. It takes time to become familiar with the newly evolved version of you. You will continue to feel more and more comfortable as time goes on. And before you know it you'll be looking back having a hard time remembering life before this re-birthed version of yourself. Head into 2020 with an intention of having fun as you discover all the new aspects of yourself that you've opened up and are ready to embrace. 

We've all probably heard the saying, 'There's no time like the present', and this is how you can expect your New Year to kick off. This month brings the opportunity to renew your energy, reclaim your truths, and revitalize your spirit in preparation for the new year. Any practices where you focus on bringing light to your shadows will be most beneficial. You can light a candle(s) and stare at the flame as you relax, call on your guides, and then ask Spirit to shine white light into any lingering shadows or lower energy, fully cleansing it. You can do my favourite, simply stand in the sunlight with your eyes closed and feel the warmth and light fill and charge every chakra. Work with the light while releasing the dark with love, and you'll be on point. 

Spirit says please take some time to write down or speak aloud what you would like the upcoming year to feel like. Not what you want to manifest, not what you want to have happen, but how you want the year to feel. If you're not sure, think about what you didn't like feeling this past year, and then simply take the opposite of that. For example, if you felt lonely, tired and overwhelmed, you want the coming year to feel loved, energized and balanced. If you felt unhappy and fearful, you want to feel joyful and confident. Beside each feeling write down one thing you can do that makes you feel that way and start putting it into practice. For example, if you want to feel energized, you might put working out, drinking enough water, or getting enough sleep beside it. Then every day, or when you're not feeling the desired way, look at your list and take the associated action step. This will be an easy way to hold yourself accountable while initiating small but sustainable changes that can bear a huge impact long-term. If you've been working your natural magic and things are feeling great, then just set an intention of continued growth and flow with all the positive energy. 

This month you are asked to let go of any external focuses that are unnecessarily draining your time, energy, and resources in order to move into 2020 with a healthier foundation. For example, are you obsessing over politics as opposed to staying informed and invested in them? Are you spending more time scrolling through pictures of other people's moments instead of making your own? If you want to live your light you need to move from within, with a focus of self-responsibility. That is what will allow your desired feelings to unfold in the year ahead with the most ease and grace. It's not so much a pulling back this month as a pulling in. Spirit shows it as though the energy were a wave, one last 2019 ebb before a 2020 flow.

October is a month of one, highlighting independence and self-determination. Just as the leaves turn and release from the trees, you will be tying up any loose ends that remain as you near the end of the year. Things are coming to completion this month. Perhaps, after nine months, you'll be giving birth like me! Just saying, a pretty fitting card for our baby girl's month of arrival. ;) Or maybe you just finished writing the final instalment in your four-book series. Yay for my talented husband who did just that! The point being, big things that have been gestating for some time now are coming to a close. Don't sit on things that are done but confidently tie up the loose ends, there won't be a "better time." There's a beautiful balance at play of releasing and completing while moving forward and progressing. This can manifest as added support for any major transitions. You have the ability to feel very much in sync with your mind, body, and soul as you navigate transitions with positivity. Let your instincts lead the way.

Focus on beauty. Find the beauty in letting go. Find the beauty in change and growth. Celebrate the beauty of how unbelievably adaptable we are as humans. Honour the beauty of the soul creating and expressing itself through your mind and body. This will be a welcome month for introverts as you'll be encouraged to stay in, relax, and focus on integration. It's time to release any pressure, regroup, and replenish. Take time to enjoy the cozy fall energy and see this as a month to dive deep into your nurturing nature. If you've been working on that, and are just starting to get in touch with that gentler and more authentic side of yourself, it's a wonderful time to build upon it.

The meaning of this card is a heart-opening. Where can you further open your heart in your life? Yourself? Your romantic love? Communication? Friendships? Work community? Your body and health? Family? Abundance? You get the drift... It's time to let the old guards down, let the past patterns fall away, and let your authentic self receive. If you feel vulnerable and more emotional than usual, you're on the right track.

We've got a full moon on October 13th. What do you need to prepare for before the winter season hits? Provide yourself with as much comfort as possible. Maybe you prepare a stack of books to curl up and read this winter, pull out your warmest blankets to have on hand, stock up on your favourite spiced teas and comfort foods, again...nurture yourself. Allow your energy to flow with the seasonal changes. This isn't a time to wind up, but down. It's a time to release and rejuvenate. Be deeply present, give thanks, and celebrate all that you have achieved and brought to completion this year. Your 2019 journey is preparing to come to an end and this month you will be feeling all the feelings as they say. Spirit shows me an image of the story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, emphasizing the part at the end where his heart grows three sizes. Have you been working your natural magic? Are you ready to feel your heart open up and let in more love than you ever thought possible? I hope so. And enjoy, because these moments in life are the rewards that remind you why you do the work in the first place. ​
