Mercury Retrograde 2015 - Stop Bitching and Get Empowered!

Mercury Retrograde empowering stop bitching new age hipster
Mercury Retrograde empowering stop bitching new age hipster

Every time Mercury Retrograde appears even the most spiritual high vibrational ones amongst us turn our Facebook pages into raging bitch and moan fests. Hey, I've done it too. We all have. We've all been hit with difficulties during these times. Communication break downs, car or electronic break downs and even our own personal melt downs are the things Mercury Retrograde is made of.

May 19th 2015 starts us off on another few weeks of challenges. It's due to end on the 11th of June, but if you are anything like me - a little sensitive to planetary or energetic "stuff" you'll be feeling the shadow period too, which means it ends up being nearly two months of this feeling of wheels spinning going nowhere.

This Mercury Retro though, I've decided to stop complaining and empower myself. Oh, and I've decided to empower you guys too! I've done a reading for you all which you can watch below. It's similar to the weekly reading but I look at how this retro is going to affect us emotionally, how it will affect our earthly stuff (body and like, "stuff"), what may be going on with our thoughts and also, the real kicker - what we can do about it all!

This is what I love about Tarot and divination. You can get a sense of the energies around you and instead of bitching and moaning about it, you can work with them. Use this knowledge to make the most of the Retrograde. Find out now what's going to be your challenge(s!) instead of having a hissy fit every time something Retrogradish happens!

I'm also offering a bunch of Retrograde Readings for y'all over on my Etsy Store! Sometimes when blocks and challenges come to the surface during the M.R it's actually a really good chance to look at what's going on. Mercury doesn't bring up new stuff, it can highlight all the stuff that was already there. Job not going anywhere? Total relationship dramas? It's not like Mercury is making you hate your job, you probably hated it already! It's a great time to go through your stuff, do some journalling, pull your own cards or for the teeny tiny price of just £15 I can whip up a spread for you personally that looks at a bunch of your blocks and challenges and what you can actually do about them. I'm still in my first year of this New Age Hipster biz so I'm pretty cheap right now. One day soon I'll be charging a lot more for this kind of thing so get in quick before my wait list is like a month long because that's what I'm manifesting people! LOL! Seriously though.

Now here’s my list of tips for rolling forwards when ole’ Mercury is rolling back.

<3 Check in with your goals and make sure you really want to go where you are going. If you’re happy with your path - keep on trekking! If it feels slower, whatever, at least you are moving towards your dream!

<3 Remember it's Mercury that's going backwards - not you!

<3 Don’t use Mercury Retrograde as an excuse to procrastinate and do nothing for three weeks or up to two months!

<3 If you can’t get excited about your dreams during the retrograde maybe you need different dreams.

<3 Don’t blame Mercury for everything that goes wrong. You didn't back up your work, that’s on you babe, not Mercury.

<3 Stay in Gratitude about the good stuff and keep positive.

<3 Every time you moan about Mercury you are manifesting more things for Mercury to do for you to moan to about.

<3 You don’t have to sit in the bath the whole time. Sometimes a quick shower works just as well if you need some self care time.

<3 Check out the video below to see how you can become the High Priestess of the Mercury Retrograde!

<3 Get your own personal Retrograde reading. Sometimes retrograde doesn't just slow us down, it highlights some blocks that we’re actually carrying around like all the time.

<3 Love, light and a bitch-free Mercury Retrograde! <3

Don't be afraid of the tower card! x 18 to 24 May 2015

Art Nouveau Tarot by Matt Myers
Art Nouveau Tarot by Matt Myers

This week we are getting our messages via the Art Nouveau Tarot by Matt Myers - a freaking awesome 80's tarot deck that is perfect for relationship readings. I did soooo many relationship readings at Higher Selfie last weekend that I think I had this deck on the brain because it was the first one that grabbed me this week!

Start of the week - The Tower

It's pretty common to totally freak out when you see The Tower card. But you know how I see it? Sure everything is crumbling down around you - but the reason it's crumbling is because it wasn't built right. Now is the chance to let anything in your life that isn't right fall away.

Middle of the week - Knight of Swords

And now here comes the Universe with a sword for you to chop away anything that hasn't fallen yet. You have the power to get rid of anything negative or not working in your life, so take up your sword and slice that stuff up! This could also be a really good time to do some decluttering or tidying of book shelves.

End of the week - Nine of Cups

This weekend is time to chill the eff out! You've been working hard, you've been constantly 'on'. This weekend you wanna switch off - as much as you can, and then maybe a little bit more. The best way to show the Universe that you are thankful for your life is to freaking enjoy it! Go out and see friends, finish that YA novel you've been reading for months, spend time with family, and especially if you are in a relationship spend some decent quality time with your person.

It's another powerful week guys! You have the power to make this week amazing - let some of your old crap (inner or outer!) crumble away and then have yourself a damn fine weekend!

You know where you can find me if you fancy a personal reading!

<3 Love, light and Swords of Gryffindore! <3

Balancing Gratitude with Wanting More 11th to 18th May 2015

Cosmic Tarot Norbert Losche
Cosmic Tarot Norbert Losche

This week as I started shuffling the good old Cosmic Tarot I asked for a message for us all - something that would help us know what to doSo it was pretty interesting when I pulled a whole bunch of cards that were like - uh, this week isn't about doing stuff, it's about getting your head together - specifically finding a balance between having gratitude and wanting more...

Beginning of the week - Three of Wands

So first up they (the guidances!) were like - stop worrying about doing anything. It's time to start living in the now a little more. Appreciating all the things that we have, that we are and that we do. Not just the big things, but the little things, like making dinner for someone or having someone make dinner for us - I mean, how freaking awesome is that? Notice these things in your life this week and really focus on them. They are so damn important and sometimes we spend so much time working our butts off for a great future we don't pay enough attention to the here and now.

Middle of the week - Princess of Wands reversed

OK and then we have a warning not to become complacent. Huh? I thought you just said to live in the moment?! You need to stay focussed on the present and often stop and think how wonderful your life is, but you also need to keep moving forward or you run the danger of becoming what we like to call 'comfortable'. Being comfortable is great, and hey, maybe that's part of your journey in this life, but don't you want to do more with your time here?

End of the week - The High Preiestess

Woah, OK. So if we can balance these parts of ourselves we are in for a beautiful surprise! The High Priestess is all about balance and she is uber intuitive, crazy beautiful and if you had to pick one card from the deck to describe 'woman who most has her shit together' I'd pick the H.P every time. It's all about striking that balance between loving where you are and what you have and seeking more. The message I'm getting this week is that it's not about having more. It's about being more and doing more. It's not about having a crazy stupid big house or a million quid to spend on travelling every summer. It's about what you can be and who you can be and what you can do. Don't ever stop being and doing and growing and learning. Just stop putting the focus on the "stuff" for a while.

Have an amazing week guys. You know where you can find me if you fancy a reading, and I'm always around on social media for chats!

<3 I'm sending you all so much love, light and beautiful balancing vibes! <3

Weekly Wisdom - Crystal Reading Cards Reading - 4th to 10th May 2015

Crystal Reading Cards - Rachelle Charman
Crystal Reading Cards - Rachelle Charman

Say hello to the beautiful Crystal Reading Cards by Rachelle Charman! This deck caught my eye at the Belgrave Book Barn (I think I spent almost a whole day in there!) in Australia last month and I just HAD to have it! I've seen a lot of crystal decks around, but none have called to me like this one... As soon as I opened it I did myself a reading and I cried because it was so good! I hope you love them as much as I do!

Start of the week - Sunstone - Empowerment

This is all about standing in your power. Be kind to people for sure, but don't let anyone walk all over you. You have a great deal of inner strength and power, you may find you need to call upon that this week. Open up to your power! Don't be afraid to speak your truth even if you think other people won't like it. Maybe they will like it, maybe they will love it, who knows! Be true to who you are this week, it's way more important than what they say about you by the water cooler.

Middle of the week - Malachite - Healing

Whenever you've healed one part of your life you find something else that needs healing. This doesn't mean that you should just stop bothering - it means the opposite! We are always healing. Spend some time this week acknowledging and considering your healing needs. Get a reading, get some reiki, have some therapy, sometimes we need help with our healing and can't always do it all on our own with a guided meditation. Sometimes you need to speak to a real person! Let others help you heal.

End of the week - Black Tourmaline - Protection

When your energy feels low, or impacted by other people you may need to think about some new energy protection strategies. Watch the video below for a great tip on how to visualise yourself totes protected even without the use of crystals! If you feel like you've been too open and given too much, take some time for you. You might just need a little alone time this week too. Don't feel guilty about it, sometimes you just need to be alone to recharge and stay shiny.

If you would like your very own personal reading using these cards or any others you can always pop over to my Etsy Store, OR you can come see me IN PERSON at what is going to be a very special day this coming weekend - Higher Selfie Live! It's a free event in London which promises to be totally soul nourishing! Check out this link for all the deets!

Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter down below too! I only email you once a week (on Sunday!) to update you with your weekly reading and any other bits and pieces that might help you on your journey, nothing spammy and nothing salesy!

I'm wishing you all a beautiful week here on planet Earth filled with tumble stones, chats with your higher selfie and glitter fingers!

<3 Love, light and crystal healing energy <3

Weekly Reading - Guardian Angel Tarot - 27 April to 4 May 2015

Guardian Angel Tarot - Doreen Virtue + Radleigh Valentine

Guardian Angel Tarot - Doreen Virtue + Radleigh Valentine

Sometimes you just need a cuddle, and Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine's Guardian Angel Tarot is the perfect deck for those times. We've had a big reading last week and this week I wanted to bring you a reading that had a softer touch and came with a cup of virtual hot cocoa.

Start of the week - Ten of Emotion

Oh, well that's werid, this is the exact same corresponding card from the Tarot of White Cats we had last week! Another message for us to put our gratitude and focus on those who we love. If you had nothing else; no money, no 'stuff', no new clothes from Urban Outfitters who would you be? Who are you without your stuff? Remember what's really important. Take a break from trying to make the big bucks and online shopping sprees and go and hug someone you love.

Middle of the week - A New Beginning

Ah, finally! A chance to break through some of thisstuck, stagnant energythat's been around for a while. You're only going to be able to move forward if you look at some of your blocks though. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of failing, or you are actually just a little bit afraid of winning?

End of the week - Helper of Thought

If you managed to look at your blocks in days previous this weekend has the potential to be ON FIRE! Things could start moving faster than you know what to do with them! You have to really think about prioritising your tasks this weekend or else you could start getting way too overwhelmed and not be able to do anything! Make a to do list, then underline the REALLY important things. There's no time to get sidetracked looking at cool hashtags on Instagram this weekend, sorry!

I'll be pulling cards for you from this deck at my Tarot Tuesdayevent this week! Make sure you pop along, it's totally free! I can't wait to see you there! :-D

<3 Love, light and getting unstuck! <3

20 to 26 April 2015 - Tarot of White Cats

Tarot of White Cats - Lo Scarabeo
Tarot of White Cats - Lo Scarabeo

HELLOOOOOOO!! It's been weeks since I did a weekly reading. I've been road tripping and catching up with family and friends in Australia so sorry for neglecting the readings but I really needed the time out! I spent a lot of time thinking about the readings though, I mean, do people even like this? Do people want a different style weekly reading? I thought I'd stick with the usual format for this week but I may just shake things up for next week so let me know below in the comments or on any of my social media places if you have any thoughts or feelings about these readings!

This week I'm using the dog-earred much loved Tarot of White Cats!

Early in the week - Ten of Cups

Wooop! One of the best cards in the deck and it's all for you this week! This card is all about happy families and happily ever after. There's a message this week to look at your family or home stuff and perhaps take the higher ground and 'be the bigger person' in some situations. Forgive others over little niggly things and show those you care about how much you do. That's not to say if someone has seriously wronged you that you need to hang out with them, but do stay in gratitude about the wonderful people who are in your life.

Middle of the week - Death reversed

Woah, talk about being stagnant and stuck this week! This is not a time to be forcing anything to happen. Things are either moving and working or they aren't, and over the next few days there's not much you can do about it. Take a break, give yourself a break! You've been doing a hell of a lot lately so don't get pissed if you find you can't get much done this week. Do some stuff like reading a book, taking a bath, catching up on Netflix or making some new Pinterest boards. No one will think less of you if you relax right now, they're probably not getting much done either.

End of the week - Eight of Pentacles reversed

If you want to see me nearly have a meltdown over this card check out the video below. I get it. I get that work can suck, day jobs can be totally meaningless and the frustration of knowing you can do so much more with your life can be pretty darn difficult some days. But if you really, really want to, you can change it. You can change your work situation. It may take a fucking long time, but if you want to see the flowers you have to start planting the seeds, tending them and then while you are waiting, just go plant some more.

Phew, what a week we are going to have! Just stay in gratitude as much as possible about as much as you possibly can, give yourself a break about how much you are getting done and get some good intentions flowing about your work situation!

<3 Love, light and good week vibes! <3
