Tarot & New Earth

It was wonderful synchronicity when one of my clients told me he does Tarot.

I immediately knew what our energy exchange would be. I did his taxes and he did a Horoscope Spread Tarot card reading for me in return. Talk about New Earth principles in action.

According to Wikipedia, The New Earth is an expression used in the Book of Isaiah and the Book of Revelation in the Bible to describe the final state of redeemed humanity. It is one of the central doctrines of Christianity and I remember that one of the prayers I used to hear/say in church always referenced “the world to come” (The Nicene Creed). In alternate circles, New Earth is thought to refer to The Age of Aquarius which we are currently in. There’s a lot of debate about when this period started but I think that December 21, 2020 at the time of the Great Conjunction is a safe bet. You will remember that this is when Jupiter and Saturn met up. These two celestial bodies align every 20 years but what made this ‘great conjunction’ special is that it marked the beginning of a new 200-year cycle. New Earth to me! Since the 1800s, Jupiter and Saturn have been uniting in earth signs and, before that, in fire and water signs. It’s been about 800 years since the last ‘age of air’. It was predicted that the Age of Aquarius would bring a shift beyond technological and medical obsession and that spirituality would boom again! We would crave a better way of working with each other and a greater sense of community. Growing food, sharing and bartering would become more normalized as we looked for our “tribes” again.

I was excited on the day of my Tarot reading as I’ve never had a Horoscope Spread before! If you have ever thought of tarot as some dark art reserved for voodoo sessions, you’re wrong. Perhaps that’s got a lot to do with the notoriety of the Death card in movies etc? My lovely reader explained that unlike my Oracle Cards, Tarot has a set number of cards in the deck. Each of the 78 cards has its own meaning. Once the cards are split and spread, they are open to interpretation by the person who is handling them who then passes that message on to the client for them to interpret further. The same principles would apply if you were doing a reading for yourself. The card would give a message. You would tap into your intuition/Higher Mind/third eye energy to receive and decode and then pass the information back through your more physically seated self to receive the guidance.

When it came to my business, the card that showed up had a big focus on fruitful partnerships! Oh wow, I thought as I stared at the cards in front of me (which all talk to each other to form a complete picture), that’s exactly what I’ve been dreaming-in. Attracting the right clients and being the right vibrational match to those who service me = Abundance and growth for all!

I’d like to teach people about this way of working and living. That’s another thing that showed up in the Tarot for me: A call to action to share my knowledge on the mixed-bag of financial and spiritual tools I’ve gathered over my 50-ish years on Old Earth:-)

As I feel-in to what exactly that means, Happy June my friends! I wish you all things Gemini this month including magnetism, clarity of communication, and the ability to adapt to whatever comes your way. There is a super full moon on June 14th. Make it count.

What a Difference a Year Makes!

It’s hard to believe it has been an entire year since I launched my website and entered the “BLOGOSPHERE”. If you have been with me since the beginning then you know I am an observer of cycles. They fascinate me.

Last May the Blood Flower Super Moon danced in the expansive sign of Sagittarius. The perfect day to begin speaking my truth in a more public way.

“Seeker of Magic, Spreader of Light. Do you think you can own that? Walk that Talk?” When my editor and website creator Lee Mayimele asked me that question a year ago, I honestly didn’t know.

It’s May again and I have now published FORTY blogs. I had to count them, of course. This year the Blood Flower Moon emerged in the sign of Scorpio, the great transformer.

Have I transformed in the past year? I would say YES and I would say speaking my truth triggered the transformation.

Who knew writing and co-creating had such power to ALCHEMIZE?

Lee certainly did! She could see a version of me that even I had not glimpsed yet. This vision is part of what makes her a great writing coach and co-creator. If you would like to see how she can help you see your best self, contact her at http://www.leemayimele.com.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me, friends. Thank you for holding space for all my shares and for watching as I become a true SEEKER OF MAGIC and SPREADER OF LIGHT.

I am looking forward to another year of evolving with all of you!

Much Love,

Cara

The Divine Feminine in Friendships

Women, women, women!

That’s been a theme in my life for about two years now. Everywhere I turn I’ve been meeting strong, attractive, deep, interesting, creative women.

They have come into my life through the doors of my tax practice, online through the study of plant medicine, metaphysics & astrology and most recently through my book.

She found me through my audiobook and a google search. “And I fell in love with your voice,” the attractive Ukrainian woman standing in front of me in need of my tax services said. She was also a self-published author. I know this is going to sound cliche, but I felt like I had met her before. I also knew that she and I would become friends because we just “clicked” in the special way that I’ve been clicking with other special women.

Elena is one of many women I have met just like this over the last few months. I’ve walked into homes of clients and stayed for dinner, volunteered at the Steinbeck Center as a mentor to two young writers and met a soul sister from another life. Heck, it’s even happened to me with my editor who lives in South Africa. It sometimes feels like we are living in the same house because she and I connect via our daily routines as mothers, sisters, and colleagues and intuitively feel one another’s moods. It’s just incredible.

When my daughter, Caroline was getting ready to go off to college, I found myself sinking into a pit of separation anxiety and it affected me physically. I wrote about this in my book, Many Gifts in detail because I wanted to share this with as many women as possible. The Divine Feminine energy that links us all was in its natural state of flow, presenting with changes to both our menstrual cycles and it scared me! It scared me because no one really talked about it. Once I began to open up and let the light into this area of our world, I think that’s when I was able to hop back on the train that is always riding to its destination: HARMONY. The perfect state where all things divine and feminine blossom.

My old wounds around women all started coming to the surface for air:

Sister wounds (I’m a twin)
Friendship wounds (oh, I’ve got lots!)
Mother wounds
Ancestral wounds

My twin sister & I. I’m the one on the right:-)

I kept on diving into my plant medicine, meditation, my work, journaling and making love to keep my vibration as high as possible while I allowed the changes in my life and my body to happen. They were going to happen anyway!

I think that’s when this tribe of women soldiers started coming into my field. My channel was set to the right dial for them.

The other thing that happened – and I only just realized this while writing this blog – is that the women who were not set to the right channel fell out of my world. There was simply no vibrational match for us anymore. Now if THIS is not the Law of Attraction that all the great books talk about, then I do not know what is.

Women rock. This post is to salute them and to salute me because I could not be at this point if I did not have the common sense to recognize that this LOVE that I have for them is really all about the LOVE that I finally have for ME!

Whitney said it best: I’m every woman. It’s all in me.

8/8 = BIG magic at the peak of the Lions Gate/Infinity Portal

Hi Friends

Are you looking for some winning lottery numbers? I would bet on number 8! I’m kidding. But can you feel that? I definitely can. There is an explosive energy in the air. The ancient cultures wrote this. We are at the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal. I found out that another name for this portal is also the INFINITY PORTAL, represented by the number 8.

Today is special. It’s an energetic activation of the numbers 8/8, August: eighth month, in the sign of Leo the lion, on the eighth day of the year. I LOVE NUMBERS! Can you tell? (I’m a tax accountant by profession and my brain is wired this way)

The number 8 in Numerology represents:

*abundance *prosperity *inner wisdom

It is also a number associated with karma.

The shape reminds me of balance and harmony. I like the way everything is connected in one constant flow. It is symbolic of giving and receiving, our inter-connectedness with every living thing and also a reminder that energy is never static. WE ARE PART OF THE FLOW.

In Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered the luckiest number of all! There are people who make sure that the number 8 goes into their children’s names to give them the best possible chance of success and prosperity.

The Orion constellation also aligns perfectly with the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt at the time that Sirius aligns perfectly with the Sun. This also happens at the time of the peak of the INFINITY PORTAL. Incredible!

So, my friends, look out for the new moon. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a wish list and read it out loud. Manifestations are on offer and, unlike lotto numbers the results are guaranteed. It is written in the stars:-)

Love

P.S. A word of warning: The new moon in Leo is in a conjunction with Mercury. This means that Mercury is essentially combust. It is forming a tight T-Square with Uranus in Taurus and activating some heavy energy — a continuation of energy that has been around with the Saturn-Uranus Square. What a mouthful huh? Well, without going too deep I wanted to mention this because it could mean that many of us will be dealing with INCREASED FEELINGS OF ANXIETY, AGITATION, DESPAIR, AND PAIN. This is stuff we have been dealing with all year, but this new moon will bring it up more. So be aware and take time to ground yourself. xoxo

Full Moon Ritual Ideas

Hey Friends

There is a full moon on Thursday 24 June and I am already dreaming of basking in its beautiful light. (It might also have something to do with the wonderful happy hormones still in my veins from all the Summer Solstice celebrations!)

If you do not already have a full moon ritual, here are a couple of tips to help you make it special:

Set the scene: Go outside, open up the curtains, invite the light in.
Have an intention: The full moon is a great time to let go of burdens and any negative emotions. Sometimes I write my intention. Sometimes I say it out loud. It can be something as simple as “I release everything that is weighing me down.” And so it shall be!
Use water: Our bodies comprise mostly water, the moon regulates the ocean tides and our menstrual cycles, so it makes sense to flow with the good stuff. I like to take a long bath by a window and sip on some warm tea. If you are near the ocean/lake/river, spend some time feeling into that energy. It is a powerful way to release negative energy and reset the nervous system.
Crystals: The energy from the full moon will charge up your crystals and make them super potent again. Lie them out where they will have maximum exposure to the moon’s light and leave the rest up to Mother Nature.

Beautiful crystal, soaking up all the energy from Mother Nature

! The energy from the full moon usually lasts for about 3 days afterward, and you can feel a little “crazy” or drained. People often call it a hangover. I’ve experienced that many times. If you feel this way, take time to rest. Sip on your favorite tea (or something stronger), journal, and take things slow.

Before you know it, we will be on to another moon phase and welcoming all things wonderful and new.

With Love,

Lunar Eclipse on May 26th 2021 = BIG Changes

Hello Sunshines

We are just hours away from the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius (May 26, 2021) and we will be able to see the Blood Flower Supermoon in all its glory.

In Western Astrology, Lunar Eclipses are a powerful time. They bring big CHANGE often on a global level. It’s also the first day of a new Trecena within the Mayan count of days. The Trecena of Tijax.

I’m excited.

The sign of Sagittarius and the nawal of Tijax share a similar energy, that of the Holy Warrior.

If there are some big changes in the air (and boy have I been feeling this for months as far as the planet in general goes), then I say let’s learn to adapt and harness the higher vibrational cosmic energy to support the NEW.

On a more personal level, it’s always a good idea to PIVOT/CHANGE DIRECTION/U-TURN as we grow, evolve and expand our consciousness. This is the time!

It’s an opportunity when we can alter and shift our DESTINY/FATE/LIFE PATH in a major way. Here’s the thing, friends, the change is here. It WILL happen. The question is only how willing you are going to be to flow with that which is aligning to your new vibration?

Will you resist OR will you flow? Will you stay where you are or will go to where you are being directed?

I plan to enjoy some delightful Sativa flower and create an outdoor altar for Lady Luna. I will thank my Guides for their support and flow with the big changes coming my way. My preview looks grand!

Happy Blood Flower Super Moon Gazing,

Cara, Seeker of Magic, Spreader of Light

P.S. Can I make a prediction? Donald Trump’s star is going to keep rising. Do some Googling and find out when he was born. I will give you a hint *you will find the word “eclipse” somewhere in there.

The Beginning…

Hey Sunshines

I’m excited to be here in this body at this moment in time. I’m even more excited to engage and exchange energy with YOU in this my very first blog post.

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it – Roald Dahl

I’ve always believed in magic — and I’ve had some incredible synchronicities and signs come my way. It’s really easy to believe in magic when all that’s good happens. Right? It has taken me a long time and lots of inner-work to realize that there has also been magic in the hardest, most tragic things that have come into my life.

I wrote about this in my debut memoir, set to be published in the next few months. I will keep you posted on the release dates etc but for now all I want to say is don’t stop believinnnnn…*to the tune of the Journey song we all know and love.

Love
