July Reading
By Nixie Vale
Over the years I have been lucky enough to meet and befriend several artists, and one such artist created a colorful and beautifully painted deck of oracle cards. Sapphire Moonbeam is the artist and creator of the Moonbeam Magick Oracle Cards.
Aries – Weather – Over the last few weeks you have noticed yourself complaining about this that are beyond your control to feel in control a little more. Over the coming weeks, remember that Mother Earth is taking care of her charges, and be mindful that Spring and Autumn a times of change and growth. When you find yourself blaming mother nature, take time to ground yourself and breathe deeply.
Taurus – Goddess – In recent weeks you have tried to reconnect to your inner divine, and while it hasn’t been easy, you are on the right path. It can be hard to remember how beautiful our spirit is when we feel disconnected to Spirit/Source. You have made amazing progress, celebrate this a little; it is okay to be proud of your journey. You are empowering yourself after all.
Gemini – Yin Yang – You have been feeling out of balance, and haven’t been able to find what works for you, which throws you more off balance. When you feel like this moving forward, take a few minutes to ground and centre yourself by taking deep breaths. This brings you back to your conscious self, allowing you to see a way through.
Cancer – The Tear – Recently you have been struggling with your feelings, and it’s important to remember that no one is happy all the time, and when you try to be, you are being dishonest with yourself. Instead of fighting the emotions as they come, experience them so you can let them go in a healthier way. If you need to cry, cry. If you need to scream, scream into a pillow.
Leo – Passion – You have been feeling like you’ve lost the spark for the things you are passionate about. Over the next few weeks, explore your creativity because you may find that your spark is still there, but it has simply moved to something else which will compliment your other passions. You have a zest for life, a desire to see and do things, so have fun exploring your new horizons.
Virgo – Hope – You have been worrying about things that are out of your control, and this has caused a knock on effect of lowering your own vibration. Over the next few weeks and months (this won’t happen overnight) start to release the things that are out of your control. There are buds of hope within you, but they can’t bloom until you let go what you have no power over. All you have is the power over you.
Libra – Spirals – You are on a journey right now, and began at the centre of the spiral, growing as you move. You have been wanting things to move quicker, or get to a destination faster, but the journey needs to be experienced. Over the next few weeks, when you find yourself wanting things to just “get a move on” remind yourself that spiritual paths can’t be rushed. Sit back and enjoy they journey, because the more you try to rush, the longer it will take.
Scorpio – Magick Within – Over the last few months, you have had people tell you “you have so much potential” and “you are wasting your potential” which has you feeling bad about yourself. Moving forward, when you hear things like this, acknowledge that it is an opinion, and not written in stone. You have the power in you to forge your own magical path, but you need to see and understand that you magic may be different; different isn’t wrong.
Sagittarius – Music – Recently you have been listening to music you wouldn’t normally listen to, and it has been acting as a balm to soothe, an expression of your feelings and as a way to disconnect from the hustle. In the upcoming weeks, don’t discount any music you are drawn to, just because you wouldn’t “usually”, there is a reason you have been drawn to that music. Let yourself flow with the music, sing, dance and celebrate how it makes you feel.
Capricorn – See Peace – You have been feeling like if one more thing goes wrong, you’ll snap… when you start to feel this way, take some deep breaths and allow yourself to take a break. You do not have to be superhuman and do everything yourself. Over the next few months, make plans to share the load you are carrying so you can take care of your mental and physical health. A sense of peace within will come when you acknowledge you can’t do everything.
Aquarius – Meditation – You have been wanting to add more meditation to your life, but it’s been feeling too hard, or too big. This is completely normal, you just need to find what works for you. Some prefer to listen to music, some prefer to listen to guided meditations, while others simply breathe deeply and focus on this. How you meditate is a personal choice, but exploring the different ways can be daunting, but you will find the ways that’s best for you.
Pisces – Intuition – You have been learning how to hone your intuitive senses, and develop trust in your instincts. Over the next few weeks, write down these intuitive moments – they can be thoughts, feeling or whims – so you can explore where your gut feelings will take you. One thing you need to remember when it comes to intuition, there is no right or wrong. You may find that your skills develop faster the more trust yourself.
