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!"

The Importance of Shadow Work

A week or so ago, I found myself in a place I hadn't been in a long time. Not a physical space, a mental space.

It was a dark one. One of judging, assuming, accusing, and negative emotions that I could physically feel. I was complaining about an acquaintance, and every time I thought about this person, anger bubbled inside of me. I hadn't felt anger physically like that towards someone in a long time. Why now? What was it about this person that got me SO riled up? Even while I was complaining about this person and putting them down, I said to myself in my mind:
'This isn't me. I don't do this. WHY am I doing this?!'

After venting- purging this negative emotional vomit- I decided to sit down and do some shadow work regarding this person, and myself. I don't compare myself to people, or ever feel like I need to be in competition with anyone, but with this person I did. I needed to understand why.

Shadow work never fails me. It works every time! What I was actually afraid of becoming, were the characteristics of this person. I try so hard to be positive all the time, that I was ultimately suppressing some of these characteristics and was resisting them so hard! It's great to be positive, but if we ignore the negative completely we end up bottling them up, only for them to overflow and make a mess later. Which was what happened to me.
It was a very enlightening experience, and as soon as I was finished with the writing exercise, I felt a weight had lifted! I understood myself better, by acknowledging my shadow side. I no longer felt so much hate and anger toward this person. In fact, I could have cared less. I understood where they might be coming from, and they only know what they know, right?
I said, "good luck to you, now off you go!"
Then off I went too.
