Card 1: 7 of Pentacles (r)

You are exploring a variety of ways in which you could feel centered, safe and grounded. You recognize that no one person, thing or situation can provide you with complete security so now you are experimenting to find new forms of stability and a broader security base. Things are so different now, how we think of work, travel, going anywhere and this also impacts your thought process. Try some visualization to help deal with your frustrations about goals at this time. You can walk yourself through what different scenarios might look like and explore the emotions that come up for them as you do. Journal your thoughts. Be grateful for all that you have and have accomplished, allow yourself to live in that gratitude rather than worry or stress. Be aware of people who may be feeding your worry and allow yourself to shield yourself from their negativity and focus on your gratitude and empower yourself with the visualizing the perfect future goal as though it already has come into being.

Rose Quart

Rose Quartz will assist in bringing the energies of self love as well as a shielding protection layer from negative or low vibes that may come your way. Try meditating with a rose quartz. Hold it in your left hand in meditation- be sure to not be wearing any other crystal/mineral jewelry. Allow yourself, in meditation to sense the energies of the rose quartz. Where do you feel it in your body? How does it make you feel. Imagine a field of loving pink energy all around your body sealing out any energies you don't need.

I love having big hunks of raw rose quartz around my home, its very peaceful, you might want to try having even a small bowl with a handful of tumbled stones in it around the house or office or any space. Rose quartz is also a great crystal for a bath infusion. Immerse yourself in a warm bath and take a tumbled rose quartz along for the journey. Meditation and or just relax as the crystal vibrations enhance the water and your body’s energies entrain with it. It’s such a wonderful peaceful experience you will want to practice this over and over! I typically get lost in a cosmic meditation while doing this practice.

Card 2: 8 of Swords (r)

You are re-evaluating your beliefs and attitudes and deciding which ones to keep and which ones to let go. You have had enough experience to know how your believes operate. Now, you can pick and choose which ones to emphasize in your life. You may be evaluating how to work with your inner voices and deciding when to attend to each one. Follow your instincts and listen to your gut. Don't make any rash decisions but trust that you will move in the right direction for you at this time. There is so much going on in the world today, as well as in the cosmic energies. Our mind, body and spirit react to all and it can send us into a whirlwind. Sit with your beliefs and know that some may be new, awakening can have an influence here. Trust the vibes, do your research and be ok with what you decide is right for you.

Remember though that indecision can cause issues. Nothing is happening now and you may feel as if this lack of action is driving you crazy. Take a Zen-like approach by opening your mind to what the universe wants for you. The answer will come so slow down as this too shall pass.

Tiger’s Eye

Tiger’s Eye helps to focus the mind, promoting mental clarity, assisting us to resolve problems objectively and unclouded by emotions. Particularly useful for healing psychosomatic illnesses, dispelling fear and anxiety.

Card 3: 8 of Pentacles

You may be organizing physical things. You are thinking over the style and level of security you want in your life. You have tried out several different approaches to home, money, or career options and are now ready to reflect on your experiences and make some choices. You are prioritizing your ways using money, resources and physical energy. You are making the choices that are necessary in order that your material world will conform more closely to your needs. This is not the time to be a perfectionist, though, but to reflect on your experiences and make sound decisions.

It's also a good time to nurture your mind, body and spirit. You are in a cycle of trying decisions and hard work. Be sure to stop and "smell the roses" seriously buy flowers and sit them on your desk, put together a vase of rosemary and lavender to sniff throughout the day, walk outside even if for a couple of minutes. Look at the sky and the stars at night, take some nice healing breaths. Journal your thoughts as you go through this process. Be sure to be eating healing non toxic foods and drinks. Drink plenty of water. Take time out for you...do nothing and let it be ok.

Clear Quartz

This is the perfect stone for this particular card. This stone is an enhancer, an amplifier and will assist the positive energies of moving forward based on your true experiences and paving the right path for you at this time. Clear quartz has the capacity to absorb, store, release and regulate energy. It resonates with all of the chakras. It also enhances spiritual growth, awareness and wisdom. It increases inspiration and creativity. Be careful however, as clear quartz is a powerful amplifier and emotions you are having a struggle with may blow out of control. Add in some rose quartz and labradorite or black tourmaline and amethyst to give you a level headed, grounding sense of stability on all energetic levels.
