I'm over the moon with this nomination for the Divine Muses Oracle! My sincere thanks to the International Tarot Foundation for recognizing my work. This project was a potent and transformational time for me, both as an artist and practitioner of my craft.

The 2020 CARTA Awards will open to public voting soon. I will post here when they do in case you would like to participate.

Really, being nominated feels like a win! So, to celebrate, I am taking $10 off the Divine Muses Oracle for the next few days. If you need multiple sets (because of the upcoming holidays) let me know and I'll send you an invoice.

Strong Minds, Strong Bodies, Strong Hearts. I want to believe that there is more love than hate that exists in the world. That people are doing the work even if we can’t see it. The work behind the scenes and screens. ⠀ I want to focus on those millions of small actions…of love, peace, solidarity, and faith….and think of them as the glue of the structural change of our greater evolution. Those little stories that don’t get the media’s attention because they aren’t deemed worthy, because they aren’t dramatic. ⠀ But, glue is invisible, and rarely gets attention. (Unless you’re a collagist. Don’t get me talking about my glue collection. Each different glue has its perfect job!) ⠀ I know that this year has been especially difficult, but I believe in us. The pressure that many of us are feeling is evolutionary growth—we’re growing out of the space we’ve been living in. Sometimes it painful, downright ugly, and so, so sad. But, my heart is buoyed by all the actions I’m witnessing toward REAL change.✨□□ ⠀ Thank you for the work you are doing, and continue to do, big and small. The special little things that may never be seen, but will be a part of the foundation of the new world we build together. ✨□□✨ ⠀ ⠀ Astral Ascent + Queen of Roses + Perfect Stranger = When we give from the heart, life begins to synchronize and align in immeasurable ways. When we see the stranger as the person we have yet to meet, we invite a deeper connection with humanity. Open minds create new worlds. ⠀ ✨✨✨ ⠀ #divinemusesoracle #divinemuses #divinemusings #seenostranger #oraclereading #oraclereadersofinstagram #tarotwitch #ibelieveinmagic #ibelieveinus

See No Stranger. Wonder is where love begins...

7/23/2020

"When we choose to to wonder about people we don't know, when we imagine their lives and their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see part of us. We prepare ourselves to love beyond what evolution requires." -Valerie Kaur, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love.

“It is easy to wonder about the internal life of the people closest to us. It is harder to wonder about the people who seem like strangers or outsiders. But when we choose to wonder about people we don’t know, when we imagine their lives and listen for their stories, we begin to expand the circle of those we see as part of us. We prepare ourselves to love beyond what evolution requires…. ⠀ “Wonder is where love begins, but the failure to wonder is the beginning of violence. Once people stop wondering about others, once they no longer see others as part of them, they disable their instinct for empathy. And once they lose empathy, they can do anything to them, or allow anything to be done to them. Entire institutions built to preserve the interests of one group of people over another depend on this failure of imagination.” —Valerie Kaur, from See No Stranger, A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love ⠀ □✊□□□□ ⠀ #SeeNoStranger #DivineMusesOracle #shadowwork #revolutionarylove #loveistheanswer #cardoftheday□#oraclecardreading #oraclecardoftheday #divinemuses #cardoftheday #oraclereadersofinstagram #indiedeck #indiedeckcreator #tarotwitch #witchesofinstagram□□

Divine Muses Oracle Reading and Spring Sale

3/25/2020

A reading with the Divine Muses Oracle. The Magical Child and Keeper of Time urges a reconnection with the inner child today. Do you remember the time when we used to play carefree from the worries of everyday mundane life? Outside of the limitations of time and a schedule. ⠀ As a child, I would lay on my bed and let my imagination soar! ✨□□ When was the last time I did that?! Years and years. Although it’s hard to pull away from the chaos, now there’s time...and there’s a bit of it...to observe and ponder and create and read and feel and breathe... ⠀ The Unknown card says that we can’t always know the answers. We have to sit in the unknown; and the unknown scares the eff out of the human race and so we are always digging and digging for answers. An imperative for the evolution of our species. And, what amazing progress we have made! Yes, mistakes have been made too, but we’ve made it this far. ⠀ Astral Ascent says that we will rise above this too. We have weathered many storms over thousands of years. ⠀ As we sit with the unknown, truth can be heard from within—it’s very quiet, but if we listen carefully, a voice can be heard. That voice might be the inner child asking for healing or perhaps play time. It might be our soul-Self giving us a direction or affirming our journey (True Will). It’s also in this space that we can connect to our highest potential. ⠀ ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ⠀ The Divine Muses Oracle is currently on sale in my shop. □□I’ve decided to also ship it FREE within the USA! □ Packages going out daily. □ Thank you for supporting my little corner of the web. ✨□✨ Be well and stay connected! Xoxo. Link in my profile.

The Celestial Meets the Terrestrial - A Divine Muses Oracle Reading

2/27/2020

View this post on Instagram

Cosmic iron! ☄️□ A piece of meteorite that fell to earth 5000 years ago. From Campo del Cielo in Argentina. . The celestial meets the terrestrial! I thought of this magical meteorite fragment when I pulled the Cosmic Prince and Astral Ascent cards. How this cosmic material fell to earth one day, and how we’re on this rock hurtling through infinity with a group of other rocks and a small star! How we’re so insignificant, and at the same time so significant! . We humans can be very self-limiting, but through millennia we have demonstrated our limitless potential. We often forget because we’re so bogged down by mundane life. The message from these two cards together asks us to work on visualizing the possibility of an alternate reality, idea or way of thinking. Perhaps explore the astral realms through our subconscious. To expand our minds, and remember that whatever we think is possible, is possible! In the words of Nelson Mandela, “It always seems impossible until it is done.”

MLKJ Day and the Lunar Masculine

1/20/2020

View this post on Instagram

“Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding darkness to a night devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ⠀ The image is the Lunar Masculine card from #divinemusesoracle and represents the sensitive warrior practicing the nonviolence philosophy, as Dr. King spoke about in the Lorraine Motel just hours before he was assassinated in April 1968. He sat on his bed and went over the principles of nonviolence with his entourage....not strategy, but the importance of nonviolence.⠀ ⠀ In the guidebook, I use the above Dr. King quote (from Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? p. 67) in connection with the Lunar Masculine archetype, the sensitive warrior who uses words and compassion as his weaponry of choice, instead of violence. On MLKJ Day, I honor Dr. King’s legacy...and beyond today, everyday. ⠀ ⠀ May we all remember his message of love and continue to evolve and learn from each other; find our common links as human beings in a time that seems like we are more divided than ever. Where hate and fear continue to create bigger divides; love, compassion and acceptance bring us together on the same side on this small planet in our galaxy of galaxies. ✨□

New Year Astrology. 2020 Begins with a Bang. Saturn-Pluto Conjunction, Cancer Lunar Eclipse and Uranus Stations Direct.

1/6/2020

0 Comments

 
We started off the year with some positive energy last week! We're into week two and there are already three potent cosmic events, making it an intense start—and not the best way—to the year. 

The Cancer Lunar Eclipse is Friday January 10th at 11:21 am (not visible from America). The year begins with Full Moon in Cancer and we will end the year with one too (though December 29th won’t be an eclipse)! This puts a spotlight on feminine energy (Cancer is a super feminine and maternal sign). This year will bring more awareness to the topic of feminine empowerment and leadership. 

However, 2020 is a 4 year, meaning the tarot's paternal Emperor is the archetypal energy for the year (leadership, authority, action, stability, structure and order). But, if you combine this with the Full Moon Cancer energy, we have the 
Solar Feminine archetype: leadership roles merging with feminine, nurturing qualities. The Solar Feminine card from my Divine Muses Oracle deck is basically a merging of the Empress and Emperor cards. 

This year we will see women in roles of leadership continuing to increase, and people wanting to combine the nurturing quality of the feminine in their leadership roles. What would the world look like if everyone (not just women!) led with love and not fear-based energy. We are already starting to see this in various ways and it's so inspiring.

The occult significance of the Emperor looking to the left shows that he draws from the qualities of the Empress in order to rule in a positive way—that is based on love and understanding, not fear and greed, which is Emperor reversed energy. It's lovely to see 2020 with Cancer Full Moons bookending the year.

Uranus goes direct on the same day as the eclipse! This planet is the rebel planet—the revolutionary. Uranus has been retrograde in Taurus since August 11th 2019. There is an evolution waiting to happen and it is going to break us all out of a collective rut this year. The Cancer Lunar Eclipse energy will precipitate this change.

With Uranus going direct in Taurus, it's a powerful time to embody the revolution. Taurus lessons are around the body and material realm, so moving the body is a healthy way to break out of ruts: exercise, dance, or whatever movement you are craving.

The Saturn-Pluto Conjunction 

Sunday, January 12th is one of the major cosmic events of the year. Saturn and Pluto join together at 8:59am PST. This "Great Conjunction" happens once every 33 to 38 years. This one marks the end of the Saturn-Pluto cycle that began in 1982! Sunday we come full circle to complete this cycle. 

Historically, this has been an intense aspect! Saturn-Pluto conjunctions have seen major wars and economic upheavals that defined their particular era. (This is interesting given what has been happening between President Trump and Iran for the past few days. We will have to see what happens by Sunday.) Saturn-Pluto conjunctions are a collective experience that happens over a period of time where economic downturns, trade concerns, corruption and misuse of power are observed.  

Saturn wants to protect the old ways—the established order, and Pluto wants to transform and reveal what’s hidden beneath the surface. I don't think it's a surprise that we'll continue to see (all over the world) political infighting and further division between those who insist things should stay the same and those who are ready to usher in something new! This is not just a singular cosmic event happening on January 12th. This cycle has been ongoing since 1982. In 2001, Saturn and Pluto were in opposition (180°, the halfway point) the month before 9/11. Saturn has been approaching Pluto for the past year. 
 

January 12th marks the end of the 38 year cycle of Saturn and Pluto, and the start of a new cycle. As Saturn slowly moves past Pluto this year, this cycle of change brings challenges, especially around the need to break down old structures with weak foundations. This transit expresses the Tower card perfectly, where chaos is necessary to clear out the debris of the past in order to rebuild something better for the future. What comes after the fall of the Tower is the Star, where hope and clarity reigns.

​And on that Star note, 2020 does show some positives, though wrapped in intensity. The planet of expansion and abundance, Jupiter, will conjunct Pluto 3 times this year (April 4th, June 30th and November 12th). Plus, Jupiter will conjunct Saturn in Aquarius on December 21st (Winter Solstice), which is known as the "Great Mutation in Air" and also believed by some astrologers to be the official gateway to the Age of Aquarius.  

I’m seeing Jupiter's conjunctions with Pluto and Saturn as a sign that things are evolving even if it seems things are devolving at times. 
Jupiter meeting Pluto (and then Saturn at the end of the year) means there's a powerful force that's pushing for expansion and growth. Jupiter is the planet that brings optimism and luck to everything he touches (like the Sun card does in a tarot reading)! However, Jupiter is connected to the tarot's Wheel of Fortune card, with its cycles of fortune and misfortune.

Big change is on the horizon...and like Friedrich Nietzche's quote, we need chaos in order to give birth to a dancing star. That quote encompasses the tarot cards Tower + Star perfectly. This is what this Saturn-Pluto conjunction is all about. So when things feel like they are effed—and, well, they might be—try to remember that Jupiter, the “Greater Benefic," is kissing these two planets with its "luck" through the year for good reason. If things seem intense and uncertain, know that there are lessons in transformation for the highest good of all.
