Pushing the Needle Forward

So, this month, I decided to stray a bit from the typical readings you might tend to see during this time. Personally, I like doing readings without a clear request of my cards because I personally find it more resonant if the message that comes through is one, I need to see. I mention this because if you’re expecting a plethora of love and relationship reading… well that might not come out with these. More importantly, I decided to pull out all of my animal specific decks for this month because I recently came into another animal themed oracle deck, and I’d like to share its messages with you during this month. So here we go. Some of these may be particularly long so hang in there with me, and please enjoy. To the cards…

cards pulled from various decks

Komodo Dragon: answer your wakeup call.

Racoon: talented, shadowy, in hiding, generous

camel: be forbearing and patient.

7 of Bones: view your situation through the qualities of fidelity, loyalty and faithfulness. These will give you grounding in this situation

Giraffe: See the bigger picture

Cat- Knower of Secrets (The High Pirestess): wisdom and experience gained from reflection and introspection

4 of Cups: dissatisfaction, disillusionment, knowing what’s up to your par and refusing offers that come in below that.

6 of Wands: acceptance of praise and acknowledging your part in doing a job well done

4 of feathers (swords): rest, relax and reset. You’re in a safe space to do this.

2 of Cups: unionizing, harmonizing, blending of two energies, the start of a young but long-lasting love, integration of what you’re learning with what you already know.

Alright, so with this reading, I’m seeing that there is a part of your situation that isn’t clear right now because things seem to be in the shadows and you’re potentially laser focusing on things that likely won’t really matter down the line. Part of the issue here is that you’re being asked to zoom out and see the situation you’re in with a different lens. Trust, loyalty and being faithful to yourself and others is going to help you turn things around for yourself but you have to be patient with this process. There will be challenges to making these changes so please give yourself the grace and kindness to do this work.

Another part of this is going to be recognizing when you need to give yourself some rest. You’ve been doing a lot of personal work and reflecting and while this is a good thing because you are integrating lessons learned with your innate wisdom, it’s also likely that you’re realizing some dissatisfaction and disillusionment with your situation. What may help you here is knowing that you HAVE made progress. Accepting and praising yourself for the job you’ve done so far is going to help you gain clarity in how to push the needle forward on your goals.
