Happy New Moon! A February Missive for you♥︎
Know what object of great beauty and value is formed by irritation? Well, the Earth shows us the way... as always. 🤍🦪 Plus, read on for the February offerings!
Happy New Moon peeps! Aquarius… 🛸💫
Something that’s been coming up lately in readings / sessions, and what I’ve been feeling in the collective is the hum of irritability. It’s in the air. Very 5 of Wands you know?
We can always use the reminder to stay focused on our work and what we are creating, or wanting to create, and avoid energetic leaks and entanglements such as competition, not minding our business, arguments that go nowhere, focusing on what’s going wrong instead of right, et cetera. We’ve all had those days stuck in these negative loops or spirals, those times that go on for far longer than we’d like. It’s not the end of the world, but it certainly doesn’t lend to a happy one.
And it’s very obvious why this energy would be in the air; why we are all feeling it. Even in calmer times (we used to have those, right??) when we reach the deep of winter (or summer) tensions can run high. We need and want change and can sense a charge in the air, but conditions on the ground remain frustratingly the same. Come on already! What’s taking so long?! Ugh!
Well, the Earth shows us the way, as always. Know what object of great beauty and value is formed by irritation? Well, the photo above probably gave it away but, it’s pearls. A grain of sand gets lodged into an oyster and the solution is an alchemical one - turning the irritant into a priceless gift. So feeling irritation is often a sign that alchemy IS happening. And this is also why pearls symbolize wisdom gained through experience, and why we have the phrase pearls of wisdom.
This doesn’t mean that you have to stay in discomfort, of course. Suffering through it, while once seen as noble or strong, isn’t actually necessary or worth anything beyond letting you know that you need to do something about it. In times like these I rely on what I know works for me - my somatic practices (breathwork, tapping), energy work and/or booking a session with a teacher or trusted facilitator. This is part of the transmutation/alchemical process too 😉
So, that’s the message that came through for this month, and one I am working with. Sometimes it can be enormously comforting to know that’s its okay and part of the process, especially when I’ve been doing the work and not yet seeing any tangible results yet. 🤍🦪
Oracle Deck News
The Indiegogo campaign concluded last month and I am SO grateful for all of the love and support! The shares, donations, well wishes and of course, the pre-orders. It was incredible - thank you! It’s gotten us that much closer to publication, still on track for this summer. I am continuing my efforts to stay on that track by
Taking pre-orders through my site. Campaigns only have a short window to fundraise, and rather than begin another one I have created an option to pre-order the deck directly, on an ongoing basis. Check it out here.
