The Sacred Four Reading: An Emphasis on Lifestyle

23/08/17 - 30/08/17

East (the teacher): The High Priestess

Emergence - Following the Eclipse, there has been an influx of new energies coming into this realm - many are receiving new truths and epiphanies about the malleability of this reality. There is a deeper sense of clarity emerging about who you are and where you feel you belong. When this happens, many things in your life tend to feel irritating and abrasive. This is your spirit communicating the lack of alignment with those things. The High Priestess is asking you to be still, to spend some time in silence. Be open to her wisdom. Give yourself time and space to process these epiphanies and reflect on how they affect and influence your reality as it is. Meditate on how these epiphanies are of use to you at this time.

South (the visionary): Queen of Cups

Peak - This week is a great time to build a practical relationship with your feelings and emotions by checking in on them everyday. The Queen of cups is nurturing and deeply understanding of emotions and is asking you to be that for your own emotions. Feel and observe your emotions with the intention of working with them, for your betterment. Here, she is asking: Do you feel adequate enough to express yourself honestly? Do you feel worthy and deserving of reciprocal love and affection? Or does the idea of being seen and felt bring you anxiety? Identity and self-expression are built on strong convictions and a strong sense of self. It’s time to review what is getting in the way of you expressing your truth. It’s time to examine your fear of judgement and failure. Unaddressed fear is always bigger than the reality of the situation.

West (the healer): XV - The Devil

The Fall - The Devil card is asking you for an inward perspective of your life. It is asking you to look for patterns in behaviour that you may be ignoring. Your behaviour, habits and indulgences are coming to the forefront this season. If you’ve been feeling captive to your self-sabotaging practices, it’s time to call them out. It is time to face your lack of motivation, your laziness, your lack of conviction, your insecurities. It is the only way you’re going to overcome them. It is essential to look at your everyday practices that keep you out of alignment with your goals and your happiness. Remember what you have intended for your life, and live from that truth and intention. Let your lifestyle choices begin to reflect your true desires for yourself.

North (the warrior): IV of Wands

Dark - The Four of Wands card is telling you to shut up and work. This is the season of making it real. As you work on releasing parts of your life that don’t serve you, it’s important that you add things that do. You’re being asked to create a stable, creative environment for you to thrive and flourish in. As you create more space for yourself and your goals, remember to not overwhelm yourself with the bigger picture. This is calling for step by step, moment by moment execution and consistency. Honour and cultivate your authenticity and passion in your everyday life. If you’re a writer, write. Photographer? Take pictures. Use the resources available to you right now, to make it happen. No more excuses.

Don’t be afraid to detach from the things that don’t serve you.

Trust yourself first. Ask questions later.

[onethinglifehastaughtme]

Nature has the courage to live, through all elements, and every event; and when their turn in this plane is over, they bow out gracefully. Humans can learn a lot from nature. They can learn to live courageously, fearlessly and meaningfully, if they surrender to their true nature and allow themselves to be & evolve. Because the purpose of life is life itself. Life that furthers life. Life that makes life.

Say “No” To Compromise...

or at least think about it really, really hard.

One thing life has taught me is that the quickest way to achieve your dreams is to Align with them in body, mind and Spirit. The quickest way out of Alignment with your dreams is compromising.

Since childhood, the first thing you’re taught to do is compromise. Initially this is done for survival. You come into the world whole, blank and into the arms of two beings who have been in the world for a while, having picked up a plethora of beliefs and thoughts. These people run your world. They give you a roof over your head, food to eat; survival. So you learn to adapt to these beliefs, thoughts, this environment because you subconsciously understand that without them, you cannot live.

You learn which behaviours get you rewarded and which behaviours get you punished. You modify your behaviour based on these rewards and punishments - whilst trying to grow and define your own existence for yourself. As if that’s not enough, you get thrust into the social experiment called “school” that comes with its own set of rules; written and unwritten.

You’re subconsciously taught that fitting in is the most important thing because people do not like different. Everyday you put on a different mask for different people because your job is to make sure that everybody around you is pleased - because then your life is easier. You won’t deal with much shit.

But that is the biggest illusion that has been weaved for humankind. You can’t make everybody happy. You can’t really make anybody happy. Happiness is an individual choice for everybody. You can have influence on those you care about but any change in their mood is solely their decision.

A lot of people are so very afraid of saying “no”, of creating their boundaries because the fear that has been embedded in their subconscious mind is that “no” could mean “giving up”, death; the end their existence. Be it from home, or socially, emotionally, financially…

But see, boundaries are exactly what you need in order to get to where you want to truly go in life. You have to be clear about what your desires are and what you are and are not willing to do to achieve them. It is these boundaries that inform the Universe what you’re available and not available for.

Allowing anything other than you to program your existence may give you someone else or something else to blame temporarily, but the ultimate responsibility lies with you.

So be clear, and don’t compromise on the values and beliefs you whole-heartedly believe actually serve you. Banish the ones that do not serve you. Your life is meant to be lived by you, for you and that’s the black ass bottom line.
