Mood of the Week Tarot

THIS WEEK'S CARD: MAID OF VESICAS

This card depicts a beautiful, pregnant woman, meditating in an orchard near Chalice Hill, Glastonbury. She is near to giving birth, the Tor can be seen behind, and it is a beautiful late afternoon. The woman is naked, apart from a cloth of pure white draped across her legs, symbolising purity. She is holding a vesica pisces in her hands near her sacral chakra, and has a vesica in her third eye area. Vesica piscis is symbolic of the first division of a single cell and the balance of male-female energy. Her face is tranquil, she clearly has roots growing from below her into the earth, and she is surrounded by a bright pink-gold aura (colours of unconditional love and crystal energy) which is perfectly round and clear. She meditates alongside a row of trees which suggest clear boundaries and grounding.

This card coming up at this time indicates a deep connection with the earth. If your not connected with the earth, then go for a walk in nature, or meditate with a tree or rock! The row of trees suggests being balanced and grounded, and the requirement for healthy boundaries. Because she is meditating the card can suggest developing abilities in meditation and contemplation. Maybe your well in tune, but if not (maybe you've been too engaged in the 'world' recently) then it's time to retreat a little and connect with the earth and with yourself. As the Maid of Vesicas is depicted as pregnant the card suggests you are on the verge of giving birth to new ideas or energy. Maybe there are new projects or inspirations coming into your life. If not, maybe life feels somewhat repetitive and therefore needs some fresh input! I've certainly been noticing this myself. The answer is to break your own mould and try something new!

This card can also indicate study -- especially higher education, study of the mind, or spiritual study -- as it indicates a deep curiosity about the world in which we live. If you are a lightworker, you may have noticed yourself inspired to radically new approaches or techniques in your work. Personally, I have had a constant stream of inspiration -- usually when in the bath! -- regarding a new service of mine, Andromedan DNA Activations! Now if that isn't a radical birth of a new energy, I don't know what is. Otherwise, if you only have a fleeting interest in new age matters, you may have found yourself becoming more curious recently...

Recently, the Goddess Quan Yinn came to me spontaneously whilst in meditation and spoke with me. This happens rarely, even for me, as I still find the experience kind of odd. It was probably easier for me to do so because I was meditating with my female friend Sara at the time, whom I refer to as my 'Mother' or 'the Galactic Mother'! In general, feminine energy will be quite strong at the moment. Indeed, I feel we are shifting from a masculine cycle back into a feminine one now, in which many things we have been working on recently (mostly on the inner planes) will now manifest on the outer planes (i.e. the symbolism of birth). In terms of the Summer Solstice on June 20th (here in England anyway, depends where you live), Summer Solstice is the time when the God and Goddess come together. Interestingly, me and Sara have some kind of synchronistic connection like twins and our energies are working increasingly well together at manifesting our projects. Funny you know, Sara has sometimes joked that I am the 'Father'. Quann Yinn also mentioned being the 'mother of the Christed child', a birthing of which will culminate on the 21st June the first day of summer proper. Clearly this is suggesting that male and female energy is coming together synergistically to birth a third force, the result of the marrying of the two. So expect some massive changes and breakthroughs within yourselves, your relationships, and within your ability to manifest...

AFFIRMATION

'I am creative and receiving much in-spire-ation. I am allowing the birth of the new me, the shiny crystal self that is my true essence.'

MEDITATION

Breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth. Imagine you are breathing in inspiration. You are in-spir-ing through your breath. Become aware of your roots growing down into the earth, and see your aura around you shining golden-pink. Breath in the golden-pink light, the light of inspiration and rebirth. Feel it connecting you with your heart and from your heart connecting you to your higher self, and from this connection to the fountain of wisdom and creativity that is your birthright. Keep breathing the golden-pink light, aware that your breath is your inspiration. And then breath out through your mouth all the old and stagnant energy for release. Breath it down into the centre of the earth where it is transmuted.

Breath again the golden-pink light of inspiration and rebirth. See within your heart now a crystal, as you focus upon this crystal you become aware of a mini-You, a smaller version of you that is situated at the centre of a vesica-piscis, the body posture, breathing, etc. of this mini-You is identical to your present posture and breathing...except that this mini-You looks slightly different and has golden-pink coloured skin! And yet this difference is less of a visual difference, more of a felt one within your heart. Smile, and see this mini-You smiling. Become aware now that this being is moving upwards as you breath, up into a chakra above your heart chakra. This chakra is your 8th chakra, thymus, or 'higher heart'. It is the colour turqoise. It is the seat of the crystal, cryst-al, or Christed Self. Breath this Christed one up into your higher heart to be seated there now within it's true home. Continue to smile and see this Christed one smiling back at you. Allow this smile to move from your face, down into your neck, your chest, your stomach, your legs, throughout every part of your being! Yes, indeed, you can metaphorically smile throughout every part, cell and fibre of your being! This is a whole body smile. A Christed smile of Peace.

Now focus upon the Christed one at your higher heart, and watch as they expand, as they grow...to eventually become the same size as yourself, and fill your entire being. Then see down to evry part of you, every cell, and even down to the atomic, subatomic level and beyond, every single droplet of your being containing a smiling Christed or Buddhic one within it. See each droplet as a rainbow sphere with the smiling Christed one within. Now take a deep breath and spend some quiet time integrating this within your being. When you are ready, become aware of your feet, and open your eyes. Welcome back, to see the world afresh with new eyes of crystal vision and clarity!
