Surfing/Umbrella Beach

Decks used are the Precious Gems Oracle by Maxine Gadd, The Crystal Deck by Andrew Smart, The Daily Crystal by Heather Askinosie, and the Good Tarot by Collette- Baron Reid

Okay so this reading was inspired by one of my favorite songs by Owl City (incidentally, this happens to be one of my favorite bands.) Whenever I listen to it, I always am reminded of the times I’ve gone to the beach with family and friends, and I always imagine sitting on the sand and a beach somewhere, watching people playing in the water, and setting up their umbrellas for shade and comfort. In that spirit, I’d like to ask my cards how I can honor the thrill and the peaceful pause I get being on the beach. How can I take these emotions with me as I move through my life?

The Cards

cards were pulled from various decks

• Green Jade: Pay attention to your dreams, sleep, take some time off, solutions come in meditation and daydreams, switch off to find answers

• Malachite: resourcefulness, skills, and assets, bringing out the best, old and new, transformation

• Sunstone: take pleasure in the things you do

• Aragonite: release your emotional baggage

• Shiva Lingam: go all-in on your essence

• Chrysoprase: grow from the inside out

• Call: coming out of a time of darkness into one of light, rebirth, renewal, coming home

something new begins in terms of emotional growth, your cup runs over

With this, I’m seeing that I need to spend some time away from work to find solutions and take pleasure in the little things. This will help me release emotional baggage so I can grow and take the peaceful feeling of being at the beach with me through the rest of my days.
