Authentic Truth

Decks Used: The Enchanted Lenormand Oracle- Caitlin Matthews, The Simplified Tarot- Amanda Hall, The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein, Crystals and Stones- Andrew Smart, The Illuminated Tarot- Kaitlin Keegan, Elle Qui Oracle- Arwen Lynch-Poe

Once again, the idea of authenticity is coming up for me and I must admit I am intrigued. I always think I have things figured out in this area and apparently the plot twist is that I don’t. Perhaps this is a lesson I will constantly, need to reinforce for myself. Thank you to my guides and Angels for this though. Anyway, let’s get to the cards and see what’s up shall we?

So this is very interesting as a reading because yet again, I’m seeing two messages out of the reading. One is that there is a message of changes, endings, and finality to a situation. I have been defeated by these situations but am still being called to stand in my power and position anyway. This has required me to assess my value and refuse offers that don’t align with those values. These have caused challenges and difficulties but I have what it takes to stay true to myself to navigate these changes. I need to keep on my path and take the time to appreciate the gifts and blessings I have in my life. I’m not alone and will be able to achieve peace, unity, and light through rebirth and strength. I will achieve my truth and this will bring emotional fulfillment, calm, and clarity. I need to laugh and lighten up a little so I can honor my dreams and have my efforts rewarded.
