Along side the reading check out the resources I have shared with you below.

Divine Purpose

Finding out what your path means to you is important, as it gives us focus, motivation and a place to begin with everyday, for some people though it may give them strain, fear, and deep resistance. Both are part of the process, and the journey. 

April is about exploring where you are on the spectrum and turning it on its head. We are all here for a Purpose, even if that Purpose at its base root is to experience the Human/Spiritual journey, and that alone is a great place to come back home to when we are confused, overwhelmed or underwhelmed. We have all been given the chance to experience life and to go through it learning on our way. That is one of the beautiful things about our birthright.

Look at all the options available to you right now, from how you decide to approach your day in a purposeful way, to taking steps in living the way that is alignment with your values, beliefs and passions, and if you don’t know what they are this is a great starting point.

Think About It

There is a fantastic transition during the month of April that that encourages contemplating and release. With the Full Moon occurring in the first week of the month, it is a perfect time to really hone in on how we perceive ourselves, others and the world around us. Considering where you want to take yourself in a new direction can be overwhelming, however the energy surrounding April is in full swing harvest/ re-growth which denotes an emphasis on recharging, going introverted [whatever side of the world you are on] and digging deeper into your psyche to make powerful changes that you have been working on building, breaking down, and shifting since 2007. 

There is a sense of something coming, and while there is great contemplation and conversation in every area of Spiritual and Personal development at the core heart of whatever energy is coming, it is important to understand what energy is already here. We have already stepped into the Aries energy, which is about action, movement, fast and empowering decisions being made. During this time it is wise to consider your options, however most of us have already been clued into what needs to change and are already starting to put those plans into action. 

 If you need a starting point to worth from while you take this time to reflect and re-construct; ask yourself; what do I believe or not believe, and how can I improve, remove or change the areas in my life that need my complete attention. If you unsure of what they are, they will be those niggling ones that have not gone away, cycles that have come full circle again, or parts of yourself that through means of divination, dreaming or intuition are being reflected to you by others.

You are Loved

In times of loss, there comes grief and from that the natural cycle of all the emotions that arise from it, that can attach themselves to you, and create a field for more of the same situations to come in. Everyone is going through a turbulent and chaotic time, a time of much needed compassion, understanding, and authenticity and unearthing. There are a lot of shake ups, and transitions where the status qua is being rattled in a way that has not been felt in many years. 

There is a calling to reach out during April to connect with your loved ones, passed or living, your guides and mentors, spiritual coaches, and friends. Not only is the universe asking that you reach out to others, it is asking you to love yourself enough to reconnect with the parts of you that have become fragmented, maybe due to what is going on in the world as a whole, the shifts in collective consciousness or on an individual and personal level, in areas that you may have not even opened yourself up to exploring yet. 

Take a leap, Sacred Soul. Take a leap and allow yourself to be open, receptive, connected, and compassionate. Root yourself in the knowledge that even as we dance with our shadows and allow them to come into the light, we are blessed, and cherished. We are all worthy and phenomenal beings full of richness and complexities. Love each and every cell of your body, mind and spirit, and fill your cup up this month. Don’t be afraid to call on those you trust and work with yourself on learning to trust others for their human experiences as well.

Ashes & Wine Tarot

I found out about Ashes and Wine reading through one of the interviews over at The Four Queens and then went on to find this lovely man on youtube. He has such heart, and is passionate about what he does.  His videos are informative and connect you to a sense of being able to truly dive into the world of Tarot and life, and how to use the Tarot to inform and inspire. I look forward to watching more from him on Youtube, and getting a reading for myself in the future. I love to support other Tarot readers and get different perspectives.

My Fundraising Campaign

I have started a Fundraising project for the blog recently on GO FUND ME. I am asking for supporters who would love to reach out and donate. Your money will go towards funding the cost of rooms, gaining materials for workshops so that I may reach a wider audience and assist people on a larger spectrum, and for filming materials:  Video camera, Tripod, Software. I am hoping to raise $300, and to go out into the world making documentaries, interviewing heart centered people on their path, and bring back community, and love, teachings and offerings in a way that connects and speaks to your Authentic Soul.

If you feel guided to I would love it if you would consider donating directly: art supplies, books and resources that cover the topics I delve into on the blog, and any equipment or software. By giving you will not only be giving to the Authentic Angel Bliss Philosophy of Authentic living and being, you will be reaching out, connecting and giving to your fellow soul seekers on their spiritual path too.

Dream Interpretation BBC Documentary

This documentary was incredibly fascinating in terms of what dreaming is, perspective on us dreaming while we are awake, how important nightmares actually are to our evolution and the generational connection...It is always great to start the morning with a documentary and really delve into life...
Dreaming interpretation to me is a life long journey that I want to understand deeper, and support others in using it to gain access to express their Authentic Bliss through waking and dreaming life and the unity of our Light and Shadow work. xx

Five Reasons why Tarot Journaling is a fantastic thing to integrate into your practice

Writing itself is therapeutic: Regardless of the mood you are in, using writing in unity with the physical act of shuffling and drawing from the cards is a fantastic way to combine the physical and the mental together for a holistic and therapeutic approach. Rather than keep it all in your head, you get those thoughts down onto paper and can better work with them. Especially when there is a lot of information to digest or you are looking for the connections.

It promotes Connection to the Subconscious: By keeping a regular journal or coming back to a regular space to work with you are training your brain to associate the Tarot with connecting to yourself and your subconscious mind, as a correspondence you could also use this alongside dream interpretation too, as they work of the same principle of using symbols, and Archetypal motifs that are universal and readily available to tap into.

It allows you to keep a document: Of how you are learning, what you are learning and ways to further the way you see Tarot. It helps to see what is working and what is not in your practice and is a place to invite expansion and experimentation since your Journal is a place just for you

You can use it to reference: The Tarot journal is also a unique 

 representation of your practice at any given point in time which makes it a fantastic place of reference when it comes to study, Shadow work or guiding your future self, clients, students or fellow Tarot lovers.

It is versatile: You can change it up any time, alongside your practice.

 You can always go back to the drawing board, use it to draw, write, paint or bullet journal. You can use it daily or monthly and it will not judge you. It is an ally in your exploration of the Tarot and a reminder that you are not alone and that you will always have a place to jot down notes, write reams of observation and reflection and have a direct conversation with the cards, which in turns will connect you to the universal Divine.

Overarching energy of the week: 4= Building on structure and foundations, insights and realizations, stability and energetically aligned planning.

THE STAR - 17

Confident in her abundance and the gifts she wants to share with the Earth. The Star has the tree of life to support her, guiding birds and the stars that signify the purpose that is alignment with her dreams. Together they unite as an integral part of a larger picture. Tipping the cups, she balances the areas of nourishment and productivity while the great Mesa Mountains remind us that mountains can be moved and the unknown can offer us beauty and guidance if we can let go of the need to constrain time. The mountains are made by the shifts we make in unison with the Divine and the trust we give ourselves to live in our vulnerable authenticity, embracing the power of the fullness of who we really are through self sustainability and the healthy connection and release of emotions. This is your time to shine. 

Journaling Questions for The Star

 

What small steps are you taking to make your dreams a reality?

What can you do this week to create balance so that you can grow?

What thrills you about being vulnerable? What scares you?

 

  What do you think is beyond the mighty mountains for you?

How are you harnessing the powerful creative energies inside of you?

Where can you fill your cup ? [your energy centers]

FOUR OF PENTACLES - 4

You are holding on to tight to the material. Sitting on your throne, the physical rules your heart, grounding you at the centers of your being. You may feel pegged in, accepting of your situation, while the need to do things your own way, down a solitary path is blocking the truth of your desire for support. All positive challenges and successes in life are made more worthwhile when we loosen up, and allow ourselves the experience of sharing it with the people we love. This is a time to acknowledge that you can trust in your stability, and if you turn around and see things from a different perspective you open yourself up to receiving abundance that can build on what you already have. This is also a great time to reflect and admire what you have achieved and thank the people, your guides and the universe for the part they played in getting you to point in your amazing journey. Don’t forget to be grateful to yourself.

 Journaling Questions for The Four of Pentacles

How can you share the abundance that you have right now with the people around you?

What in the material or physical world grounds you?

Do you prefer the solitary path of material wealth and stability, or community?

TEN OF PENTACLES -10

The harvest has come, new seeds have been planted and fully grown projects now bloom. What a fantastic time to rejoice and recuperate. This is an ending of a cycle to prepare for a new one. You have been loyal to your dreams and passions taking action steps and connecting to the light and shadow sides of the material world and your experiences, and now you are able to enjoy the fruits of your dedication and progress with those who have helped you, or those you have guided alongside. Acceptance, wealth, gratitude and a calm before the new storm of the tower is ready to shake things up, and send you into the majestic path of chaos ready to birth new seedlings.

 Ask yourself where have I created harmonious balance in my life, and where is the discord simmering?

Be prepared for the mundane to become magical.

Journaling Questions for the Ten of Pentacles

 

What does Chaos mean to you?

 How can you practice living in the awareness of the change around you?

Who has been your greatest mentor during this cycle of change and growth?

Who can you welcome into your life to help guide you through your next cycle?

 

#

UPCOMING ENERGY

 The Tower – Welcome the chaos that is the tower. This is a time of great awakening, confusion and significant changes. Widespread repercussions of opening yourself up and embracing the chaos will allow you to remove false values and beliefs that have been keeping you in a self inflicted state of entrapment. 

Thank you sacred beings,

May this week bring you encouragement, support and great change.

RESOURCES

As I am stepping into the energy and connection with Aphrodite I wanted to share some of the engaging, powerful and insightful resources that I have connected with during this week.

Dancing Eros

Vanessa Florence is a beautiful, soulful, and powerful woman living and sharing her vision successfully through a dancing movement, practice and archetypal masterpiece called Dancing Eros. I have watched from the side lines, and was involved in witnessing a group of women dance through the powerful Archetypes and come into their power in a breathtaking and courageous way. I am blessed to have experience it.

When it came into my energy again it was no surprise that it was when Aphrodite was welcoming me to be the vulnerable and receptive being for sensuality and intellect.  I really feel this is Vanessa’s work. Connecting us to our bodies, our spirit and out power and combining what we have to bring to the work through creativity and love. I urge you to check her out, she has just launched the Eros brand, and often writes and Vlogs along her journey in life.

Digging for the Truth - Cleopatra

If you are a history nerd, a soul searcher or love to watch documentaries I am recommending this one. It goes into the life of Cleopatra in a way I have never seen it portrayed and gave me deeper insight into the legacy she has left behind for all people about sensuality, intelligence, power, determination and trust in facing our fears. As with anything I took what I believed and disregarded what I didn’t, but if you enjoy learning and connecting with strong female archetypes personified through history check it out.

 Gaia Oracle Deck

This deck spoke to me the second I saw it. I had to touch it, and connect with it, and I got a chance to when I was shopping in the city at a Theosophical bookshop.  I ended up purchasing it, and will be doing a review when I get my hands on it. I wanted to share it as a resource because I strongly believe that Gaia is presenting herself more than ever before in the hearts, spirit and mind of all who are willing to connect with her energy. She has so much to teach us, especially if we are of Pagan connection, even if not, I would still whole heartedly recommend this heart and nature centered deck that has powerful, whimsical and magical images. For fans of Toni’s, Universal Wisdom deck, or the Pagan at heart.
