Welcome to Sacred Sips! This will be quick read at least once a month series, but what is it you may be asking. This is where you get to take a deep breath and intentionally connect with the divine to gain clarity. I will post a chose your own adventure photo along with the "positional meaning", then I will post the reveal picture of the cards revealed. I invite you to tap in and journal your own thoughts on what the card says before reading the card interpretations that will be the last bit of the post. I want to express that in my own interpretations there is ZERO judgement and also ZERO filter. Always take what resonates and leave what doesn't and I appreciate your understanding that I will not edit what I see because it could be triggering.
Now before I post the card reveal I will post the position meanings all positional meanings are uniformed:
Surrender- What shadows are presenting for release.
Spiritual Awakening- Action step suggested to change a situation.
Raise Your Frequency-Hidden truths presenting to awareness to enable higher prospective.
Transformation-What perception can be expanded out to a wider view of clarity.
Breakthrough-Area to Focus energy for forward movement.
Integration-Information to process more thoroughly to gain greater clarity.
Rebirth-Dive Deep! Where inside can you release to receive a higher expression timeline and or source energy.
One with Self-Doorway to intentionally work on bringing balance within.
Harmonize-Timeline presenting to focus on allowing your light to shine brighter.
Enter your Vortex-Area in your life coming into alignment.
Mission Accomplished: Your joy, happiness and inner peace.
If you chose Card One this is the cards that showed up for you.
If you chose Card Two below is your reading.
Card Three the following is your reveal.
Ok so before I give my interpretations, the topic for the overall reading is Power (Pluto) to the people (Aquarius) for the individual (Mars Retrograde) a reflection. I can feel someone asking for clarity. Using the Pluto and Mars opposition energy on January 6th, the topic simply is power to the collective through the individual.
Card One Interpretations:
Surrender- What shadows are presenting for release. Judgement Reversed. This is your shadow showing, those self judgements around your power. It may come out as "being/feeling/wanting/expecting too much" or flip it and judging for not doing enough even though I will wager your juggling too much. Your shadow is the rubric that you judge yourself.
Spiritual Awakening-Action step suggested to change a situation. Wheel of Fortune Reversed. Back to the drawing board, a decision was made that did not align with you at the base core. Instead of spinning the wheel and starting a new path, one is choosing to stay out of alignment. Stepping back into hindsight to see the bigger perspective and also pathways for navigation.
Raise Your Frequency-Hidden truths presenting to awareness to enable higher prospective. King of Pentacles Reversed. The king of pentacles reversed is where your energy lies. Doing for the sake of security instead of your inner core joy, happiness and love. Choosing to regain in appearance of control for the sake of security. What if you surrendered the self judgement and allow the releasing of controlling every aspect and asked for help or assistance in flipping the wheel upright? Where can you scale back to make space?
Transformation-What perception can be expanded out to a wider view of clarity. The Tower upright. The more that you try to keep control the more slippery the thing becomes and the more you judge yourself for the slippage. However, your core you, the real you under the mask yearns for change, but the perception is change is scary because one cannot change and be secure while doing so.
Breakthrough-Area to Focus energy for forward movement. Temperance Reversed. I love this card coming forward after the tower, there is a lack of balance that's what this card typically means and looking at all the cards that came before it I say that this balance story is the desire to make a big life change while remaining in control of every aspect of the how, what, why and most importantly the outcome. It also could be a clear indicator that you already KNOW what changes to embrace and also understand that there is a patience required to sow the seeds planted that you currently don't have.
Integration-Information to process more thoroughly to gain greater clarity. Four of Cups-Upright. Sometimes we feel stuck and it's of our own choosing. Because we are so invested in one chosen outcome that we block other opportunities and outcomes.
Rebirth-Dive Deep! Where inside can you release to receive a higher expression timeline and or source energy. Wish Oracle card #29 in Deck. A dream is a wish your heart makes. Wishing on dreams can open one up to being vulnerable. Is that a space that you might slip into judgment, the act of being vulnerable? What is really stopping you from wishing upon a star for that which your heart desires? Let it go.
One with Self-Doorway to intentionally work on bringing balance within. Three of Cups-Reversed. This reversed speaks of being out of balance in regard to a lack of harmony, connection or community. If you aren't finding that community or connection, what is stopping you from creating a space and inviting others in? Could it be that one is so busy appearing to be master of the universe, that to allow others in to support kicks up that self-judgment of being a burden to others? Whose voice did you learn that from? What if the others that you are not connecting with have the same voice in their head misguiding them and together that voice can be transmuted to one of truth and support?
Harmonize-Timeline presenting to focus on allowing your light to shine brighter. Relief Oracle card #17 in Deck. Relief is yours for the grasping, and the best news is it doesn't require going inside yourself. Instead, do the things that bring you comfort and joy. Read, bake, grab lunch and catch up with a friend, color/paint/write-create art, take a bubble bath. Watch a movie. Go have fun, unplug from the world. Create your own relief and don't judge yourself for doing so.
Enter your Vortex-Area in your life coming into alignment. Ten of Pentacles-Upright. You really want to change something tied to what you view as being secure. The ten of pentacles is that which you seek and it's just within your grasp. If you believe in your own power to pull that timeline into existence out of thing air with nothing but your own joyous hearts wish.
Mission Accomplished: Your joy, happiness and inner peace. Mirror Reflections card 6:6 Karmic Purge. This card shows up to reveal what you have not wanted to see in yourself. There is also the ability to assist those around you purge the false narratives your shared belief systems say about the power of your hearts fondest wish. Meaning, that regardless of how you feel you are connected and mirroring to others around you.
Card Two Interpretations
Surrender- What shadows are presenting for release. Tower-Upright. This card speaks of change and a fear of the upheaval that comes with change. It is that fear that one can release. Change comes like it or not. If you're putting energy into fighting change, you're wasting energy that could be used in accepting fruits of change.
Spiritual Awakening-Action step suggested to change a situation. Temperance-Reversed. This card presents showing a major lack of balance, harmony or moderation in your life. Things take time to change, and your currently in a cycle of change, all the pieces have yet come into clear view. Grant yourself the grace to be in flux.
Raise Your Frequency-Hidden truths presenting to awareness to enable higher prospective. Five of Cups-Upright. The tower didn't take the cup, and it didn't take the river to refill the cup. It only tipped the cup of Dasani water when before you is pure, clean, fresh water that you can take whenever you are ready to move forward.
Transformation-What perception can be expanded out to a wider view of clarity. The Emperor-Reversed. This card speaks of issues related to authority, control, and structure. Choosing to stay in the vibration of loss is a choice. Finding structure in the perception of being the victim of circumstance, or perhaps the belief that because you see the value in structure, you're giving your control to the authority. This also shows when one has the perception that free will cannot thrive in structure. Is there space for you to embrace your personal power in a structured way?
Breakthrough-Area to Focus energy for forward movement. The Wheel of Fortune-Reversed. It's important to remember that movement is movement, no matter how slow. The wheel spinning while the tower of change is present. The dust will settle, until then temperance or patience is required.
Integration-Information to process more thoroughly to gain greater clarity. King of Pentacles-Reversed. Feeling like you've lost your razzle dazzle, have you? Doubting the security your able to bank on by releasing control to the force's unseen? What if the perception of success was changed, would it be enough to bring you peace?
Rebirth-Dive Deep! Where inside can you release to receive a higher expression timeline and or source energy. Become Oracle card #14. You've got to be/get/have/obtain/know IT, in order to be successful. That until you get IT exists; you're not worthy of calling yourself a Queen/King. I invite you to become enough in your own eyes, heart and soul, and only for yourself. Not for others.
One with Self-Doorway to intentionally work on bringing balance within. Judgement-Reversed. Stop judging yourself. Start to speak, embrace and view you as you would your favorite person, place, pet. The key to becoming as discovered above is the ending of this false judgement of self.
Harmonize-Timeline presenting to focus on allowing your light to shine brighter. Rest Oracle card #28. Good news! Self-care time. Stop judging yourself and embrace self-care practices every single day for the next month. Even if it's only five minutes. Make it a priority.
Enter your Vortex-Area in your life coming into alignment. Four of Pentacles-Upright. This card speaks of a sense of control and stability coming into your reality in a balanced way. If you allow yourself to rest, release the inner critic and actually recharge your battery to manifest again like the King/Queen you are.
Mission Accomplished: Your joy, happiness and inner peace. Higher Heart Opening-11:11 Compassion. This card speaks of releasing the judgements of self and allowing in the higher divine expression of love of oneself. Taking care of oneself is an expression of such energy. Also, sticking to boundaries is a form of self-care, so is saying no.
Card Three Interpretations
Surrender - What shadows are presenting for release. The Emperor-Reversed. This card in the position it is in speaks of issues related to control, authority, and rigidity. While embarking on embracing your power, it does not take away from your power to use these things as tools. It also can show how that in order to embrace our inner power that it is ok to explore new tools.
Spiritual Awakening - Action step suggested to change a situation. Eight of Swords-Upright. Use your soul senses and steer clear of spaces, places and people that you feel restriction, limitation, and being trapped. Search for the feeling of expansion and stay in that zone.
Raise Your Frequency - Hidden truths presenting to awareness to enable higher perspective. Death-Upright. This card just by sight can induce fear, an awareness of time and attachment. Let go of the fear of letting go. What if every ending also created a new beginning, would the idea of an ending still be scary? You are being asked to let something end to create that new beginning.
Transformation - What perception can be expanded out to a wider view of clarity. Seven of Cups-Upright. Do you believe that you can with your feelings bring forward a physical object? Where you get stuck is that you have all the options, it's finding the clarity of which to focus on. Things get muddled when you fear the change and relinquishing the structure of perfectionism. There is also a warning to not keep returning to a cup because it represents something comfortable or familar.
Breakthrough - Area to focus energy for forward movement. King of Wands-Reversed. This card speaks that it is time to reassess your approach to leadership, vision, and personal power. Observe how these words make you feel, then look at areas that you've had the opportunity to expand on these themes and passed them by. Be honest with yourself, do you have the confidence to embrace leadership, do your goals align with your passion? Are you flying by the seat of your pants, or is every step taken deliberately. Feeling a lack of creative spunk? Are you prioritizing your creative outlets?
Integration - Information to process more thoroughly to gain greater clarity. Queen of Swords- Reversed. This card speaks of issues related to communication, perception, and emotional clarity. The issue is not that you don't have the tools to find the way through the issues. It shows a doubt of self and those tools. There is also a line of pride coming through that prevents one from seeking outside sources. The mental tipping because youre busy trying to problem solve solo instead of asking for outside guidance.
Rebirth - Dive deep! Where inside can you release to receive a higher expression timeline and/or source energy. Keeper of Love Oracle card #10. This card is a reminder that we hold the key to the greatest love one will ever know, and that is thyself. The vibration of love is the highest level one can reach. Once you gain that key, it will unlock any door you want.
One with Self - Doorway to intentionally work on bringing balance within. Three of Wands-Upright. This card speaks of expansion and exploration, it is a snapshot of the traveler planning before embarking. Choosing the deliberate steps forward. Destination unconditional love of yourself.
Harmonize - Timeline presenting to focus on allowing your light to shine brighter. Truth Oracle card #31. Truth is required for the key to fulfillment. Being truthful with yourself about those things that you don't want the death card to take, truth of why you choose to hold on so tightly that it creates the sticky that you so wish to wash clean of. Hiding or diming your light only creates heartache for yourself.
Enter your Vortex - Area in your life coming into alignment. Eight of Wands-Reversed. This card reversed normally speaks of delays and the good news is that while it may not be a quick process, once you truly love yourself to move forward you can at any time.
Mission Accomplished - Your joy, happiness, and inner peace. Activating Higher Chakras-1:1 Clear Energy Blocks. This card combined with the death card speaks of substances that we are fueling the body with. Did you know that certain foods help our chakra centers in balancing? When was the last time you checked in individually with each chakra center? How about your physical health? How do you feel? Are you eating the rainbow of fresh fruits and veggies or living on fast food?
Thank you for allowing me to present this reading as a reminder, if anything was triggered, I don't come from a place of judgement. I just want to shine the light through the cracks of the cave so that you may see in this moment of time a way forward.
