A Joyful Connection

The decks used for this reading are listed in the sources tab

Connection is something we’re all craving right now. It’s been so hard being separated and socially distanced from one another because we as human beings are social creatures. We crave connection and the opportunity to be social with the ones we love. Sadly, this isn’t going to be the case for a long, long while. But given that tonight is Samhain, I wanted to get back to connecting with the way I put my energies into the world. There is much to be said for working to bring light and love to the world, and that is what I want the theme of this reading to be for us today friends. Lets see how the cards want us to do this.

Given that tonight is Samhain, I want to work on bringing light and love into the universe and the world around me. The veil between the worlds of the living and the spirits are very thin right now so while we’re on a quest for renewal and rebirth, there’s some work that needs to be done in our lives. In past days, we’ve experienced drastic change and moments where the rug has slipped out from under our feet. We need to understand that our behaviors in these moments have long and far-reaching consequences and that these things are what’s bringing us to the changes and transitions we are desperately seeking. Commitments will be tested, truths will surface, and there will be things we leave in the past that no longer serve us energetically. If we can follow the process with grace and understand the gradualness of it, we’ll be able to see what we want for our future. The hope I have for mine is that I can be happy in the work I do and better able to be there for my family and friends. I know I can if I continue putting in the work to make sure I give the best of me that I can give.

There is so much hope with this reading friends, and to date, this has to be one of my favorite posts, simply for the fact that it is so positive in my eyes. When we move past the fears and insecurities we feel in our lives, we find ourselves in such a strong and hopeful place. We’ll be able to stand tall and fearless, we’ll be able to see our dreams come true, even as we’re juggling all the things life throws as us. And even better than all of that will be the fact that we get to celebrate and give thanks for the connections we have with others, the stability we’ve created and that the way things have changed for the better for us. There is always Divine energy ready and waiting for us if we need to call upon it.

Blessed be.
