Each full & new Moon I do a general guidance card pull. Much the same as a reading but less intricately strung together, guidance/ oracle cards are exactly what they say they are. Soulful Woman Guidance cards, by Shushann Movsessian & Gemma Summers are beautifully illustrated cards with an affirmation & advice.
New Moon Virgo: 17/09/2020
card 1: Enlightenment power
Card No. 20 - Enlightenment Power
Affirmation:
I am a woman who chooses the power of my own consciousness as a vehicle for my own growth
I am a woman who chooses to pursue her own spiritual development & evolution. While I understand that at the level of absolute reality, “male” & “female” are simply forms of manifestation that come & go, still, I seek a new kind of enlightenment, one that embraces the sacred feminine path of love & grace.
I practise my spirituality in my own way. Rather than accepting limits or dogmas that tell me what I should or should not be - spiritually or otherwise - I learn how to embrace a more enlightened state of being through simple practices such as gratitude, compassion & self love.
card 2: Love based reality
Card no.1 Love-based reality
Affirmation:
I am soul nurtured when I surround myself with friends and family who support a love-based reality.
I am soul nurtured whenever I surround myself with friends & family who support a live-based reality, rather than a fear based reality. I choose to devote myself to reality that connects me to beauty, strengthens my love of life & empowers & fills me with joy.
Nurturing a love based reality sustains me in my life & keeps me buoyant whenever I face fears or self doubt. It strengthens my capacity to be present & to be of greater service to life on the planet.
I now in deep appreciation to all the people who have supported me to be my best & believed in me. As I grow in love & compassion, I naturally reflect the light of these energies to all those around me.
card 3: igniting my joy
Card No. 15 - Igniting My Joy
Affirmation: attuning to the highest good in myself & others ignites my natural joy
When I hold loving intent for someone dear to me, something magical happens! I ignite my own joy & happiness when I care about another & send them blessings of peace, goodwill & ease.
Now, I nurture my capacity to be kind to myself, as well as to others. I regularly include myself in my well wishes, my goodwill & my loving intentions.
Since we are all intimately connected, my own happiness grows from this positive attunement to myself & to others. May we all be safe & at peace & live with ease & grace.
So many people who took part in choosing a card they were drawn to, chose card no 2: Love based reality. So I asked the universe for a general message for you all to accompany the mass choosing of this card. as I sat quietly to draw another card it all came to me, as messages often do. The card which came was as follows :
Card No. 27 = Quiet nourishes me
Affirmation: Quiet nourishes me. It connects me to the power of now
Quiet nourishes me & connects me to my sacred space.
I allow myself to step away from the sounds of technology & from the sound of voices - my own as well as others. The return to quiet brings me back to myself, where I can experience my own stillness.
Quiet allows me to listen. When I am quiet, I am able to hear what is going on inside myself, to connect to the gentle pulse of my own body. Subtle sensations, feelings & needs emerge. When I savour quiet, I am bought back to the power of now.
The message which came forward was as follows:
it is at this time of year, as the Sun is waning, that we reap what we've sown. we've worked hard in service to the universe & to others. We can now revel in what energy is left from the waning sun & the bounty we have reaped from the Mother Earth, but even they need to recede to do inner work of regeneration. it is time to remember yourself in preparation to recede into the self, your sacred space away from external interference of the digital world & the world of voices which vie for attention. it is time to prepare to retreat to you r inner wombspace & quieten the world so as to feel the thrum of the grandmother drum thrumming to the vibration of the Mother Earth frequency.
Soon it will be time for you to midwife your own feelings, hurts, words, thoughts & dreams. it is time to glean the knowledge you have gained & find your way back to you.
If you have found yourself drifting from your path & purpose, to delve into something different or new, know that this has not been in vain .
Know that all you need do is to ask the universe to realign you with your authentic purpose & it shall be.
Know that your meanderings & collected wisdom will be of benefit to the path you are realigning to.
Know that if you surrender to the universe, you will be allowing the gift of divine grace into your heartspace & life.
When finding your sacred space within, it is your heartspace which begins the process of realignment. It is your heart & emotions which will need to be realigned first. if you have emotional issues, past hurts & trauma, these will resurface & need your attention, to enable eventual release. As hard as this may sound, it is imperative for movement of soulwork & pathway to have cleared space to move the new & exciting into your life. That which you have been working toward, that which you welcome into life knowing its grace will be the goodness our souls purpose needs.
Know that you are not alone at this time.
Know that you are guided & advised by your guides & ancestors.
Know that you are surrounded by those who have or will experience something similar. Know you can reach out to those people. Surround yourself with those who respect your pathway. Respect yourself enough to know when to rest, reset, go within & when to ask for help.
Know that whilst this space is held for you, that you can reach out to those of us who can help.
Sometimes this time of year feels like being brought back to the beginning of something & in a way it is! There is much to prepare for when you embark on shadow work. The spiral which brings us back also offers a time of reaffirmation & consolidation of all we have learned. Even the most simple beginnings are a great reminder of who we are & how far we have come. And even the wisest of us return to recalibrate & reaffirm.
