Alright so recently, I went through some things that caused me to feel nervous and anxious. I know this might be an experience that is exclusive to me, but I had been dealing with a lot of people chattering at me about the lifepath I’ve been on and it triggered a lot of stress for me… let me rephrase that, UNNECCESSARY stress. I wonder if something similar has been happening to you and what it would take for this to be relieved. Let’s see some cards and fin out shall we?

cards pulled from various decks

Peacock: share you true colors

Elephant: unstoppable, auspicious, wise, generous, loving, singularly focused

Dog: be disciplined in your home and community life

Justice: cultivate balance and learn to view events and relationships through your higher nature. To err is human, to forgive is divine.

Eagle Spirit: spirit has your back

Bison- Ace of Fossils (coins): a new opportunity comes in to grow financially and materially, and to put down new roots and plant new seeds.

7 of cups: you have choices to make during this time. Be careful here because not all that glitters is gold and the things you think you want might not be the best things for you.

Ace of Wands: a new opportunity comes in to spark new passions and inspirations, a new and clear understanding of your triggers and the emotions they inspire.

seven of acorns (wands): conflict, drama, determination and stamina, standing in defense of your right to stand where you are

The Hermit: retreating from society to walk your own path, reigniting the light of your truth and following that instead of what is being told to you.

One thing you’ve been experiencing as a seemingly common theme for the month is the idea of overcoming conflict, and this is coming through again. I’m seeing this in two ways and one may be more relevant than the other; I leave it to you to decide which of these will resonate with you the best. One way this idea of conflict comes through for me is that you’re standing against people who don’t like what it is you’re trying to create in your life. The other is that there may be some internal conflict you’re experiencing because you have some opportunities coming in for you, especially where using your creative energy to grow your financial stability is concerned. There are choices to be made in either case and the solution may be that stepping back and releasing the chatter from your mind.

The reason I feel stepping back from the conflict may be a good option for you right now is that there have been a lot of voices in your ear about what you should be going and how you should be doing it. Part of the conflict you’re experiencing is coming from feeling unbalanced and , frankly, a little strange. Stepping back will help you rebalance and reflect so you can be disciplined in your space, as well as forgive whatever negativity has been dealt to you. When this happens, you’ll become your best self and you’ll be able to act with the knowledge that Spirit has your back.
