Aries May 27 – Led by Spirit

And let’s begin your reading, Aries.

The first card out is the oracle card, and it is Self-reward. This could indicate that you’ve recently accomplished something important to you. It could also be a reminder that, as you progress toward your goals, remember to reward yourself for the steps along the way. You don’t have to wait till you win the Academy Award. You can reward yourself for finishing a part of a project that you were wanting to get done. Maybe that task was difficult, but you did it anyway. Or maybe today you were working on something and it was going terribly, but you struggled through and you got it done. Or you figured something out that will now help you down the road. That’s an accomplishment too. Remember to celebrate those steps along the way. You don’t have to wait for the big grand finale.

In your recent energy, we start with the Four of Scrolls. Four is a number of stability and the figure is sleeping soundly. Maybe you just accomplished a big task, you took a rest. Good for you.

Then you went into a creative period. Two cards sprang out of the deck together. One indicates a childlike enthusiasm for life. We’re just looking at the paint before us; we’re not even using them. We’re just looking at the colors and admiring them. So self-reward also means taking care of yourself.

What comes out of that childlike enthusiasm is The Artiste, or the Queen of Stones. And here we are creating a painting where everything harmonizes. The figure is painting a landscape. Do you think she’s going to put a telephone pole in the middle? No. Because she’s creating something specific and beautiful to her.

Another two cards came out of the deck together. We have the Six of Spirals, which shows prayer flags. In some cultures, we’d be asking for blessings, and in other cultures, we’d be sending out blessings to the world. So it’s a give and take–a natural flow; sort of like being in “the zone,” like the artiste was. A

And then with that card, we had the High Priestess, which is a type of sorceress. She knows what needs to go together to move things forward. In the card, there is a crow flying. And the crow is not an animal that is take, take, take. It gives as well. When a raven is killed, the other ravens surround the body and mourn the loss.  And the raven is a teacher. I’ve seen that. The crows where I live teach one another. There’ll be one that is a little wiser, and it shows the others what to do–how to get food more efficiently. And then we have others that act as the patrols, and they warn other crows and other animals about dangers in the area. And so this is someone who wants to give to the world.

And last in the recent past, we have The Illusionist. An illusionist makes things seem possible that are not. And so maybe other people are seeing you in that way. “Wow! This person, whatever they do it works out for them.” They don’t see all the practice the illusionist has had to do to make that look easy.

And now we are moving into your current energy. We’ve got more forward movement. There is a lot of forward movement in this reading. And we have The Empress, and she is stepping forward, and people, again, are admiring her. So again people are saying, “How does she do it? She looks so together. She knows where she’s going.”

Now the next card indicates that maybe you don’t know where you’re going all of the time. We have the Eight of Wands, with the wands appearing as spears flying in all directions. But Spirit says, “I’ll help you with one of them,” and guides it to the correct target. So maybe everything looks easy because you go forward confident that Spirit is leading you in the right direction.

And so Spirit is saying actually, “You’re right. I am leading you in a direction.” Now once you get there, there will still be independent choices to be made. Next we have the Two of Pentacles. And we have a juggler here, and he seems rather happy juggling his life. He will have to make a decision at some point as to which pentacle he wants to hold onto.

We have advice from Spirit in the next card, We have the Two of Swords. Another two. More decisions, this time about how we want to look at something. And so the advice here is to keep that open heart, keep that open spirit, and remember that if there are difficulties, they are passing storms. Lift up your blindfold. See things for what they are. You don’t have to catastrophize things that are negative, and you haven’t been recently. But this is a reminder that those anxiety-producing habits can resurface. And so Spirit is just advising you keep a watch out for them.

Your energy is beautiful right now. Just remember to reward yourself and to appreciate the process.

And that is all that Spirit has for you today. I feel honored that I was allowed to bring you this message, and I am so glad that you found it.
