The past card “Pluto” shows that we are now coming out of another phase of death and rebirth, connected to last lunar cycle’s theme of “AUTHENTICITY” (you can refer to that blog here). We were given the opportunity to face our fears and shadows, and to release what no longer aligns with us, so that we can live as our authentic selves.
Over the past weeks, I attended a series of workshops on how life can be lived when we are connected with our soul and Spirit—the divine consciousness within us. I experienced many insights, realizations and inner transformations throughout this journey. One of these realizations was how many attachments I still carried, and once I saw that my attachments were based on the programming and conditioning of society, culture and others, I was able to release them. The underlying stress coming from these attachments no longer bound me. I could finally experience true freedom – freedom from attachments.
Sometimes we encounter major external changes in life that we cannot control, pushing us to finally wake up and to embrace our healing journey. It may be a diagnosis, a breakup, a change of work or home, or it can also be finally reaching our goal, completing our dream project, or entering into a new relationship. Trust that everything happens for a reason. Each of these experiences serve as a sacred invitation for us to return to wholeness and reconnect with our inner Self.
The present card is the “Council of Light”, which aligns beautifully with this lunar cycle’s theme of “SACRED”. How can we view and live life as one great sacred ritual? It starts with remembering that we are not alone in this journey here on Earth. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience, and naturally there are other spiritual beings that we cannot see who are here to support us.
Just like when you visit any hotel (or Museflower), most of the staff members you meet are the front desk staff, concierge, servers, chefs (sometimes), spa therapists, and yoga teachers. You will rarely get to meet the housekeeping, maintenance, IT, and gardening teams. In hotel terms, we call these the ‘front of house’ and the ‘back of house’ teams.
Our physical support network consists of our family (sometimes), friends, and communities, and they are like the front-of-house team—we see them all the time. Our spiritual support team, on the other hand, is like the back-of-house team. If we don’t consciously connect with them, we simply won’t feel their presence.
I’ve written and spoken about our spiritual support team many times in my blog and podcast. Our spiritual support team can be angels, spirit guides, power animals, ancestors, ascended masters and teachers, plant and stone allies, and any God and Goddesses that you believe and resonate with. This card is a gentle reminder for us to consciously connect and continue building this relationship with our spiritual support team. They love to help and guide us, but as humans we must exercise our free will to ask them for help so then they can step in to support us.
How can you continue to cultivate this relationship with your spiritual support team? First, it’s important to maintain your spiritual practices, such as setting intention, meditation, journaling, prayer, and reflection. Carve out sacred time for yourself each day to connect with your soul and the Divine. In doing so, you are also connecting with your spiritual support team. To me, prayer is like picking up the phone to speak with them, while meditation and mindfulness create the space to receive their messages, guidance, and answers to our prayers.
So what happens when we do this? The future card is “If the River Flows This Way”, which means that we are now living in the flow of life that our soul intends it to be. Going with the flow doesn’t mean giving up on life or passively accepting whatever happens—that’s a flight-state of survival mode disguised as being easy-going.
True surrender means that we put in the work (both inner work and outer action), which makes up 50% of the equation. The other 50% is allowing the Universe to orchestrate and work its magic, trusting that everything unfolds in perfect timing and always for our highest good.
The sacred self-care card for this lunar cycle is to “clean your space”. Cleaning our physical space sends a message to the Universe on an energetic level—that we are creating room for something new and amazing to enter our lives. Mother Nature is constantly cleaning her space with rain. We also know that how good we feel after cleaning up and arriving into a beautiful and uncluttered space. That’s what I mean that we need to put in the work (both inner and outer). Look around your space now and see where it needs some love and attention from you. Whether it’s your home or work space, if it’s a space where you spend a lot of time, it is worthwhile to take the time to clean the space and to fill it with beauty and love, so it can be YOUR sacred space to connect with your soul and Spirit.
How can you transform from being scared to remembering sacred? We cannot change the events that happened in the past, or are happening right now in our world. But what we can change is how we perceive these events. When we remember the sacred- that the Divine and our spiritual support team are here to support us, we can shift from looking through the narrow lens of fear to experiencing an overflow of love pouring into our entire being. And it is from receiving this abundant flow of love that we can expand and shine our light forward into the world.

I AM Sacred Space.
I recognize that my interpretation of the cards is largely based on reflections of my personal life experience and you may or may not resonate with what I share. I find that sometimes by sharing what’s going on in my life, others may find that they are going through something similar in their lives. It’s important to know that you are not going through this journey of life alone.
I highly encourage you to look at the cards as well and feel into the messages and energies of the cards yourself.
Read the messages and notice what sensations come up. Do you feel light or tense? Look at the images of the cards, and notice what draws your gaze. What thoughts and feelings arise? Do you like or dislike the card, or certain elements in the image of the card? Why is that and what does it remind you of?
Your intuition is your inner compass. My oracle card reading only serves as a reference point, an invitation for you to reflect and ponder and to work your magic. I don’t claim to predict the future, nor can I do that. Take what you resonate and leave what you don’t.
Card reading is a great intuitive tool for us to find some clarity and guidance in our own life, but remember ultimately you are the one who get to decide and live the life you want.
Enjoy reading and feel free to let me know your thoughts, questions and sharing by email.
