Hi Cosmic Being,

I'm excited to work with you this month. Do you have a focus and are you ok with the spread?
I was thinking of using the Wisdom of the House of Night oracles (I thought they're the most Halloween-y cards I have.)

Hope to hear from you soon.

I'll do a general...use whichever deck you would like :)

I'll be using A'HA oracle...I honestly do not have a Halloween theme deck...but I just got the A'HA oracle and would like to get use to them.

If you have a focus let me know. Look forward to working with you...I don't believe we ever did an exchange....

TTYL....time for me to try to catch some Zzzzz...

No, we haven't worked together before. It's fun meeting all these cool people from all over the world. It's really gratifying/empowering/comforting to know I'm not the only one who's into this. I'm not so "woo woo".

I don't have a particular focus. A general "What do I need to know?" Use whatever deck you feel drawn to.

Definitely is nice to know there are others that enjoy this form of esoteric practice (right word?)

I definitely find very few people in my real world who are into it and who I would even want to associate with lol.

Well look forward to the exchange....my schedule has lighten up so I think I could get your reading to you earlier than i was previously planning.
 

CosmicBeing

I'll be doing your reading this Friday. So keep an eye out for it.

October's Suggested Spread:

The suggested spread for October is the How to be happier in everyday life spread by Saskia. I recommend reading Saskia's blog post on the basis of this spread and why she created it here for more insight.

1 2 3 4 5 6 (Linear)

1. What should I focus more in my everyday life?
2. What should I focus less in my everyday life?
3. What could I focus more in the grand scheme of things?
4. What should I focus less in the grand scheme of things?
5. What new skill would be beneficial for me?
6. What I'm still holding on that doesn't serve me at all?


1. #54 Emerging
This card is about lack of vision, confusion, and unknowing-ness. Also a card of recognizing that even people who look to have it all together have moments of self-doubts, confusion, and lack of vision.

My advice may seem counter-productive...to me it sounds counter-productive. But I think the card is telling you to focus on this feeling and really try to gain clarity or at least understand why you are feeling this way. Over time this will lead to moments of happiness and in the long run happiness.

2. #34 Lightning
Illumination, Divine inspiration, manifestation of wisdom. Shamanic initiation, latent psychic powers.

This to me is saying focus less on trying to find divine or higher reasons for where you are in life.

Card #54 & #34 together to me is telling instead of looking for higher reasons...look at the now and look at the mundane.

3. #52 Lavandula
Regarded as something of a cure-all, Lavender has a long been revered by many in the healing profession. It has a tonic, calming effect, and may even reduce the pain and residual effects of burns. It's a healing card.

I think what to focus on in the grand scheme is healing.

4. #70 Communion
Honoring one another. Harmony, shared aspirations and dreams. Participation, fellowship, connection. Acknowledging the sanctity of place. Unification through common interests. Identity through affinity. Community & communion.

What you should focus less on in the grand scheme is trying to connect with everyone. You are going to connect with some and you are not going to connect with others.

5. #50 Flower of Life
Sacred Geometry. Flower of life is symbolic of life itself. The card suggests there are no accidents, plan is laid, the ground work has been attended to, the unfolding will continue as it will, until all is!

I think the new skill you should take on is Sacred Geometry.

6. #76 Forgiveness
A time for peace, for forgiveness, for compassion towards self and others; a relinquishing of old wounds, cleansing, purging, deliverance, and liberation.

It seems like you may be holding onto old pain, regrets, grievance, etc. You haven't forgiven or relinquished it.


I Hope this made sense...I can relate to these cards a bit...so maybe we are in the same boat right now.

1. What should I focus more in my everyday life?

Vision (Aphrodite)-8

This card indicates a setback, but because of the setback, great wisdom is gained. If something bad has happened recently, see it more as an opportunity to release something that no longer served you. Something better is coming along and you need to be rid of all the residual garbage in order to make room for it. You'll be stronger for it in the long run, although at the moment it doesn't seem so.

2. What should I focus less in my everyday life?

The Fledgling-1

This card is about being the learner. So, in your case, I think it's telling you to get out of student/apprentice mode and start being the journeyman or even the master. You've had enough time to hone your craft, start doing it. It's time for you to pay it forward and mentor someone else.

3. What could I focus more in the grand scheme of things?

Fragment-15

You're not seeing the forest for the trees. There's a lot of disconnect in your life and you aren't sure how all these facets of you merge into the whole package. Every part of you is what makes you you. Give some love to your shadow self. That's the only way you can be the authentic you. You'll be so much happier once you acknowledge that part of you.

4. What should I focus less in the grand scheme of things?

The Warrior-2

I have the feeling that you think you have to do everything for people or shield them from the world. You aren't doing yourself or anyone else any favors by not letting them learn their own lesson. Yes, it's difficult to watch people struggle when you know you can do it in 2 seconds. If you don't they'll never learn and there will be a time when you won't be there to bail them out.

5. What new skill would be beneficial for me?

Beauty-40

As my mom says for every yin there's a yang. But, if you only focus on the negative, you won't see the good that can come out of it. Like a rose. If you only focus on the thorns, you won't see the flower, and that's worth seeing. This card is not telling you to ignore the thorns, but to look past them and to see the value underneath the negative.

6. What I'm still holding on that doesn't serve me at all?

Differences-36

This card talks about realizing that people don't think the same as you. You'll always have disagreements and see the world differently. That doesn't mean that you can't appreciate what they have to offer. Apples and Oranges are both fruits, but they're not the same. This is also true for people. We all come from the same Source.

I have the feeling that you are ready to embark on a new adventure. There is the ego telling you that you're not ready, you have to learn more, get more certifications, etc. You are ready. I think you may be afraid because of a failure. You've learned from your mistake and now you are stronger than ever. Get some confidence in yourself and your abilities and you will go far in life. I think you're going through a career shift and don't know how your past experience translates into the new field. It's ok that you're brand new. What you learned in the past will always serve you. Take it with you.

Thank you for letting me read for you. I hope this resonates with you.
