New Mercury Retrograde Tarot Spread

Happy Mercury Retrograde gorgeous souls!

And yes, I do mean that!

We live in a fast paced world where we hustle and grind ourselves into the ground on a daily basis.

While Mercury Retrograde can put a spanner in the works, it also helps us to ease off the gas pedal, review what we’ve been doing with our energy and our life.

It’s a time to withdraw, go within, do some of that inner work, think about what you really want for your life moving forward and without the opportunity to do that, we can spend our whole lives hustling for we don’t even know what!

In my experience bitching and moaning at the planets doesn’t make anything easier. Letting yourself go with the flow, following the call of Mercury when it asks us to slow down and think about things, there is big magic in this!

So my lovelies, pick up a deck (tarot, oracle or whatever you have to hand) and take some time to slow down, go within and consider what’s in alignment with your life and what isn’t any more…

1. The energy you bring to this MR

This card will tell you where you are at as you move into this Mercury Retrograde. This is a chance to identify if you’re bringing some negative vibes in which could be transmuted into something more positive, or it will let you know you are ready to do the work!

2. How MR will potentially affect you

I say potentially here because we always have the power to change how we see things. If this card comes up negative you have the power to change it!

3. Inner work that needs doing

MR is a great time to focus on going within. Let this card show you what you most need to focus on at this time.

4. How to rest + slow down

How can you rest and slow down, not just during MR but in life in general?

5. What to re-evaluate

This card will show you what you need to re-evaluate in your life right now.

6. What to re-think

A chance here to see what you may to re-think. Sometimes our goals and dreams are no longer in alignment and this card can give us some insight into that.

7. How to navigate through this time with ease + grace

And here’s a message for you about how you can best move through this time with as much ease and grace as is possible. x

Mercury Retrograde 2015 - Stop Bitching and Get Empowered!

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

The Week Ahead - Perspective and Dreams

 

Welcome to another weekly New Age Hipster card reading! Yay! I didn't do one on the blog last week because basically I've been thinking a lot about this blog and what I'm doing here and where I'm heading and I thought I'd take some time out and think about it. But the guidance I've been getting lately is to stop worrying about what I'm doing and just do something, so here's this week's reading...

I grabbed my Angel Tarot deck which I got for free when I attended Doreen Virtue's Certified Angel Reader Class a couple months ago and asked for a message for anyone who sees this on my blog, Facebook, Instagram - whatever! -  and I pulled the Awakening card - 12. In the traditional tarot this is the Hanged Man, but I love the angelic take on it. The Hanged Man doesn't have to be about being 'stuck' in your situation or being tied to something you don't want to do, and the awakening card reminds us that it's OK to have a temporary standstill. It's Mercury Retrograde right now, I don't know about you but I've had my car break down, problems with a bunch of electronics, contracts and two online shopping dramas; I swear I put in the right post code! During this time we are supposed to slow down and really look at our lives.

This week we are being called to look at things from a different perspective. Are you really stuck doing what you're doing? Or do you just need to change your attitude? Is the commute really that bad or do you just need to find some new music or podcasts? Is your relationship really like a pair of old slippers or can you spice things up a bit?

Take time this week to think about your dreams, goals and ambitions. What are you working towards, and when was the last time you stopped to re-evaluate if it's really where you want to go? It's OK to change your dream if it's no longer in alignment with what you want. I grew up in Australia and my dream for a long time was to be on Neighbours. Mostly so I could start my pop star career, but hey ho! And I didn't fail, I just changed my dream. That dream served a purpose for a long time. It was the dream that made me apply for Theatre school and then spend 4 years studying, that dream then led me onto other study and to the job I'm now in and now that job has led me to wanting more and right now I'm looking at my life from a new perspective!

Take stock this week, write a list or journal about your dreams and hopes for the future. Don't just write what you think you should write, or what you've been telling everyone your dream is for the past few years... what's your dream today? What is your soul crying out for? Start working towards that, and you know what? If your soul cries out for something else further down the track that's OK too.

Don't forget to ask Archangel Gabriel for help and guidance this week too!

Thank you Archangel Gabriel for helping us to see our true soul dreams and desires and for showing us the way to work towards them!

Sending so much love, light and clarity for your dreams to you!
