WHAT IS THE KEY MESSAGE FOR THIS LUNAR CYCLE?
25. Fire Spark – Transform
Supporting cards:
40. Pleasure
This lunar cycle is a great time for reorganizing and restructuring our inner and outer worlds in order to be more in alignment with who we truly are.
The card message reminds us that we all have a sacred fire inside us, and how it can help us to live in alignment and harmony.
To begin to live in alignment, we can start to reflect from our inner world, if our mind and heart are on the same page, or if they are constantly in conflict. Do we allow our mind to override our heart’s dreams and desires, our yearning for simple pleasures or just to rest? Or do we allow ourselves to follow our heart’s whispers, no matter how silly and unproductive it seems to be for the mind?
When we have begun our alignment work in our inner world, then it is time to examine if our outer world truly reflects our values and our vision. Are there any open loops to close? Are there any physical clutter to clear?
Many spiritual teachers have said that our energies are very much affected by the five closest people we surround ourselves with. So does our environment reflect on who we envision ourselves to be, and do we surround ourselves with people who celebrate us for who we truly are?
A helpful practice that my wellness mentor shared with me is to reflect on the day when you are about to sleep at night. Ask yourself this question – have I stayed true to myself today? Have I been in integrity with myself today?
It is not a time to judge or criticize. Rather, approach this question with curiosity. Is it a resounding yes? Or is it only 50%? Give yourself an answer, and mentally go through all the events throughout the day and make peace with everything that has happened. Accept where you are, and ask yourself how you can live more in alignment with yourself tomorrow.
You may not know the answer right away, and that is okay. Pose the question to your subconscious and the Universe and allow the answer to come to you at the right time.
Another way that our sacred fire within that can help us live in alignment is to be aware of our anger. In most societies and cultures, anger is considered as a negative emotion that is harmful and should not be expressed. However, anger is a natural emotion. It is important to know the difference between the emotion anger, and the behavior that people do to express their anger. The behavior stemmed from anger is where we need to learn to control so we don’t harm others or ourselves.
Remember emotion is only energy in motion. It is important to acknowledge our anger as our sacred ally. Anger is an invitation to show us that something is out of alignment in our lives. Anger points that way of where we need to make changes, so redirect that fire to give yourself the courage and fuel to act and make those necessary changes.
Fire is a powerful element that can transform matter into ashes. As part of living in alignment, we may be called to release what no longer serves us. You can do so with a simple fire release ceremony at home by writing down what you want to release on pieces of paper, and burn them in a safe environment.
Luckily, this lunar cycle is not all just sticks and no carrots. The supporting card for this lunar cycle reminds us what kind of self-care we need to do to nourish ourselves and it’s all about pleasure. Pleasure means to engage all our different senses, and this card reminds us to savor in these pockets of joy.
By focusing on the sensations of pleasure, it can also help us stay more grounded and anchored in our physical body. After all, besides learning and growing and evolving, we have also come here to have some fun in this life. So let your hair down and allow yourself to immerse in fun and laughter. Know that you are also worthy of pleasure.
This lunar cycle is a powerful time to align your inner world and your outer reality. The seeds that you have planted thus far are starting to sprout. As you are doing your alignment work, give yourself some time to celebrate too.
Celebrate how far you have come and how much progress you have made since the beginning of the year, and just how much closer you are to living the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Daily Reflection: Today, I stay true to myself by _________________
Repeat this affirmation as often as you need during this lunar cycle. A great tip is to write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place it somewhere you can see every day as a reminder.
You can refer to my blog here at Museflower’s webpage on a simple guideline on how to write your own affirmation.
Feel free to change the words to make it 100% aligned to you.
For example,
I stay true to myself.
I am in alignment with myself.
I live in harmony with my heart, mind and spirit.
I have the power to let go of what no longer aligns with me.
My outer reality is aligning with my inner world.
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 intuitive soul 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.
