Cancer Full Moon on Christmas

2015 has been an interesting year, and we (almost) end it with a full moon on Christmas day (exciting!). I'm pretty stoked because the full moon will be in Cancer, my sister sign to Pisces (I have a BFF that's a Cancer!)

Full moon's are about making things happen, or, new beginnings. Signing the contract at work, finally buying that special something online you've been wanting, getting your certification in the mail. With the full moon in Cancer, there is a strong focus on close family/friends, and the home. You may finally decide what colour to paint the living room, order that new couch, or make that long awaited phone call to your mother, that you should have made months ago! Feeling warm and fuzzy with those we love could bring some very meaningful, or sentimental conversation to the Christmas table. On the flip side, you may want more solitude, and just staying at home cozied-up on the couch with your favourite Christmas movie, and hot chocolate, may just be what the doctor ordered.

The sun is in Capricorn which could bring some confusion to those sensitive water signs. Capricorn is career, the public eye, structure, and rules, which doesn't blend well with Cancer. Finding a balance between career and home life will be challenging, but very very necessary this holiday season!
Uranus in Aries could make this a very potent week for success, and manifesting that success! If you have big dreams around home/family life, and/or work life, now is the time to create that vision board, write an affirmation in your journal, and take the steps toward fulfilling those desires!

This Week- 3 of Cups (Party Time!)

How perfect is this weeks card draw? 3 of Cups- just in time for Christmas, and that full moon in Cancer! (3 of Cups is mercury in cancer to-boot! I'll be talking more about this upcoming full moon later this week!)

But, lets get started with this weeks draw! On this card, we have 3 figures toasting to each other, and dancing around happily. They look like they're having a great time! This card represents emotional abundance, and a spiritual harvest. Three represents harmony. What ever you have been working on; (especially relationships, or any "inner work") well- you'll be seeing the fruits of your labour! Now is a time to gather your best buds together, pour a glass of wine and celebrate your successes. With Christmas later this week, it's probably very likely that you'll be out-and-about spreading good cheer where ever you go. Chatting with family and friends could be easier this week, and perhaps conversations will be a little more meaningful.
This card can also indicate an engagement, baby/wedding shower, or an invitation to a party.
Enjoy yourself this week! Talk about what you have accomplished this year (big or small!) rather than what you never checked off your new years resolutions list earlier this year. Be encouraging to others too. Let them know you're taking notice of their successes, and make a toast to them. Giving someone a genuine compliment not only makes them feel good, but it will make you feel good too. Give thanks to those that support you, and show support to others in return.
Throw on some tunes, pour a glass of wine (or egg nog, what ever tickles your fancy) and let loose honey!

Affirmation for the week: "I am emotionally abundant!"

Inner Expansion- New Moon in Sagittarius

Tomorrow, Friday December 11th 2015 is the Sagittarius New Moon. This is a wonderful and interesting time! 
Sagittarius is an optimistic, adventurous, philosophical sign. It's ruled by the planet Jupiter which is about expansion, growth, and success. 
This is a time of wanting to expand our horizons. An interest in learning something new, or trying something new could be intriguing now. Day-to-Day chores or activities seem boring and mundane which could make us feel restless, and our expectations could be too high. So watch out for that. You may find yourself reaching out globally to people from foreign places with immense curiosity in their traditions, or even religion. 
Now is a good time to be open, and embrace progressive changes. New moons are about drawing inward and is ultimately a time to manifest. This is a great time to start a new project, take a course, or make goals for the future. If you have a big idea, or a big dream you want to see come to fruition- start writing down those affirmations! 

Although we may be thinking on a global scale, and be concerned with everything going on in the world, if we want to see changes, the best place to start is with yourself. Don't feel overwhelmed that you can't change the world. This Friday, meditate, and look at what you can change in your life to better the planet.

The Benefits of Tarot

When people approach me from a place of fear- fear about what the future might hold, I always explain how I use tarot. There will be no predictions, telling of futures, or gazing into crystal balls.

Sorry, but not sorry.

There are lots of benefits to tarot, and I think that’s something often overlooked- The benefits! What are they? Well, here’s a few to get your tarot-taste-buds tingling!

1. Gaining Clarity, & Truth: Whatever situation/issue/problem is going on right now, tarot will force you to look at it straight in the eyes! Uncomfortable? Good! The more you dive in, the more you’ll see. Tarot is a fabulous way to look at your life from a bird's-eye-view. Sometimes JUST doing that adds clarity, or a new perspective. Finding the truth in your situation, or the real truth about you, and your actions, is just an added bonus! The more clarity you gain, the more likely you are to leave feeling empowered, and ready to take life by the horns!
2. Make Better Decisions: People often want to ask me, “what should I do?!” And inside I think, ‘yes. What should YOU do?’ When someone is feeling totally lost for options, tarot often gives one (if not more) possibilities, that the querent didn’t think of before. Again, this is empowering! You have the answers within you, I just help you open the treasure chest to see the wonders and possibilities you already possess! Once the querent has a couple options, it makes decision making much faster, and easier. It’s like standing in the shampoo/soap isle at the grocery store. SO MANY freakin’ options!! All of them may look great (or maybe none). Tarot says, “here’s 1-3 options. Which one suits you best? Let’s try that one first!”
3. Finding Peace: Sometimes people get in the way of themselves. They put up a wall, and pin their worries, doubts, fears, anxieties, and burdens on it in a disorganized way. Ultimately, their thoughts are creating a block, and there is no way out. Tarot breaks down that wall, and Shows you your situation. There is something very peaceful in hearing your issue(s) said back to you by an unbiased person. It validates what you are already feeling, and know. It allows the quarant to say, “yes. I do feel depressed. I do feel sad”, and by having the emotion on the outside of themselves for once, they get a moment of peace. A moment of clarity to see the problem, and move past it.
4. Improve Your Life: I use tarot as my own personal life coach, and approach other people’s readings the same way. It can show you key areas of your life to work on, or be more aware of. Your relationships may improve due to having more awareness of how you interact, or treat other people. If something unpleasant comes up, you have the power to change it. The future is not written in stone! Tarot gives you the opportunity to be more aware, prepare, and take control of your life again!

Weekly Draw- The Queen of Cups

This week's, weekly draw is: The Queen of Cups

This Queen represents the water signs of the zodiac: Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer. I must admit I’m kind of biased when it comes to this card, because I’m a Pisces (Pisces rising, & Scorpio moon!!). So, the queen of cups is my home girl!

I always get excited when I see this card, because I know whatever it is I’m asking, I feel like I’m getting the thumbs up from the universe.

She reminds me to follow my intuition- trust it! Look at my feelings and acknowledge them. Don’t be afraid to really “feel”, and get up-close-and-personal with people (and myself!). It’s important to nurture our feelings, and our inner most desires. It’s important to nurture others too, and sometimes being the shoulder to cry on, is better than telling them what to do.

On the downside- because this queen thinks and feels solely with her heart (and not overly with her head), her proper judgement can be clouded. Like water signs she can be a little wishy-washy, moody, and overly sensitive. She can also be a bit of a drama queen

(“HEY, Pisces aren’t drama queens! I’M NOT a drama queen!”............”Ok, maybe sometimes”.......)

For this queen, it’s always a fine balance of using her emotional side to benefit herself, and others, but also not letting her emotions completely run her life, and cloud her judgement. She sometimes can feel very misunderstood (oh boo-hoo Scorpio’s!).

She’s also not a queen you would find out on the battlefield. She’s content staying home reading and writing poetry, and playing the harp (I’m lookin’ at you Cancer’s!)

Either way, it’s hard not to love this gentle soul!

Affirmation: “I nurture others, as well as MYSELF because my feelings matter too!”

Weekly Draw - 4 of Wands

This week we have: 4 of Wands!

Look at these two love birds! I feel like I've had a tour of their humble abode (a freaking castle!), drank fine wine, and ate expensive cheese. They held hands (very cute!), and were very gracious hosts. Now after picking some flowers, they wave at me, sending me off saying, "come by and visit anytime! Our home is your home too!"

They feel like that overly generous couple with everything.

Or the couple that won the lottery and just renovated their house and now want to share their new "stuff" with you. (fine by me!)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that little story!

The number four represents completion. With wands, that could be a creative project, or work related. The foundation is being built, and now goals are becoming tangible- something solid. I think this card is also saying, whatever has been completed- enjoy your success! Sometimes we forget to enjoy the small victories in life too.

Finally got that dreaded laundry folded after chasing the kids around the house like a crazy woman? Break open that bottle of wine, and have a glass! You deserve it! (Okay, that was really about me, I must confess!)

Affirmation: “I take note of everything I have accomplished in my life (this year, this month, this week, today, etc.!) big and small, and I celebrate it!”
