Autumn reading, october 2021

Reading for this time of darkening...

Today I threw the coins for an I Ching reading, asking for what was most needed in the collective Earth energy at this time of darkening. Here's what I received...

We are working with the hexagrams of Thunder/Lake & Air/Thunder 

This time is about vital energies drawing inward, into the Earth to rest (No surprise there!). This time of rest is to focus on our inner truth, our intuition- to lead us. Are we holding true to what we really believe in? Are we making the best use of our time & our resources? 

It's time to investigate. But don't spend energy frantically searching, instead simply sink in... does your outward reflection align with your highest truth, your heart? If you can't see, don't just follow blindly- wait until your vision is clear and strong. 

Let go of expectation & forcing outcomes. Can you release control and trust the guidance of the rhythmic energies of the universe? Watch for synchronous happenings to show you that this whole thing really is working together. It's very important, though, to be grounded in truth (your truth, not just what "they" tell you is true or right). Listen to you heart, and if you have trouble hearing that voice over the voice of your mind & external inputs, then I suggest you spend more time really listening for that deeper voice of knowing.  

I also pulled an Animal Wisdom card for us, and the one that hopped out was...Frog! 

The message of Frog is about Replenishing & Cleansing. It is a powerful time to engage in ceremonies of cleansing. The salt of our tears is naturally cleansing. Honor the tears you shed with gratitude- they cleanse the soul. 

Clear out forces of negativity, whether that is people, things, habits, etc.  

Rest, Disconnect (yes, really disconnect!), Breathe
