Red Phoenix King (Heaven 乾 qian2)

Be the trustworthy and intuitive Self. Listening is key. Be ready to act accordingly (and appropriately). Focus on the situation on hand.

iChing: In our earlier times, we look up to the Heavens to measure time, predict/forecast weather/seasons or other origins other than ourselves. Heaven is the Time and the Conditions that affect us. Many refer this as 'Heaven's will' or 'fate'. Instead of believing in the strange forces, we should understand Heaven as simple context. When faced with the panoply of change heaven provides us, we should act according to the circumstances, but our actions should come from our hearts, as no intellect system alone can guide us.

In that sense, we must become the heaven that sets situations in motion. Be the driver who acts, who leads, who works. We must act, and benefit all that we touch as surely as the sky sends sun and rain. Heaven creates time and circumstances. We must accept that, at the same time, we must find heaven in ourselves. We create with what heaven has given us, and in doing so, we become heaven itself.

Artemis - Individuation

Artemis is a Goddess of animals and of the forest, she receives the finest hounds from the god Pan, and these dogs are chosen for their unmatched abilities  to bring down lions, catch the swiftest hares and mark the 'lair of the Stag'. As a Moon Goddess who inspires women, in particular, to live an authentic life, she encourages us to live the life we truly desire even if that is somewhat different to others'.

Bring out the true Self and not hide within the shadow of others (or the general norm). It's not to lead a life of duality, but to ensure that either side is not neglected. Be the giver of life, protector and merciful Self, but yet not neglect the stern (death giver), huntress and merciless other. There is a time to show your different faces and attributes.

This week, take no effort to hide yourSelf because it takes more effort to hide the truth than to just live your life as you are. As we all know, why spend time thinking of a lie to cover another lie, and then the bandwidth to remember that lie and the lies before.

Monthly Draw: June 2015

Valkyries - Redemption

"It is never too late to change. Regret is useless. Forgiveness may be neccessary. Bravery in life is valuable."

Valkyries were the 'Choosers of the Slain' and were present at every battle of the Norse. Their primary service was to select the most worthy and bravest of the dead warriors - The Einherjar - and take them to Valhalla to the God Odin or to reside with the Goddess Freya in her hall, the Folkvanger ('battlefield'). There, the Valkyries would joyfully serve the Einherjar mead until their final battle, Ragnarok, alongside the Gods.

When you hit the dead end, take a deep breath and consider your options. It's either you admit defeat or to brave on into the battle. Once you have made the decision, stick to it and take on the consequences that comes with it. Good or bad, we need to give praise for a great job done, or to seek forgiveness for an error. Only when you are open to acknowledge the deeds, will you be rewarded for your actions.

Miracle of Isis - Miraculous Healing of the Goddess

Isis is here to end the month of May with a series of release and healing. She is willing to help you release your burdens, but what's more important is your willingness to release. To hand something over for healing, especially when it has been a long-term or persistent difficulty, or simply seems too great or overwhelming to be healed, takes a radical change of mind and heart.

Ritual:
Ideally, use a flower for this exercise, but any small object such as crystal, or sacred object is a possible alternative, as long you are willing to release completely after the ritual is completed.

- Sit quietly and gaze at the (object of choice)
- "I call upon the loving miracle healing of Isis. Just as this (object) is subject to creation and destruction, life and death, so too can the pain that has plagued me finally rest in peace in the loving embrace of the Goddess."

- "I give deep honouring and gratitude for the sacrifice of this beloved (object) and now release the pain, the issue, any attachment to it conscious or unconscious, into this sacred receptacle now."
- Take a deep breath, and allow any pain, attachment or suffering to flow from your heart out to your right hand, and be transferred into the sacred object.
- Say aloud "beloved Isis, Miracle Healer and Priestess of the healing arts, take this suffering from me now, I surrender it to you to heal - let me find the wisdom and the peace, the resolution that is meant to come from this dark blessing, may the darkness be turned to light, with karmic grace and unconditional love, so be it. Thank you for your assistance, beloved, I open to your miracle healing completely."
- Withdraw your hands to prayer position and gently bow before your object.
- Take it to the garden or natural setting where it will not be disturbed. It is recommended to tuck it into the earth or a place where it's not likely to be picked up again by curious passers-by.
- End the exercise with the below incantation (or whenever you need some miraculous energy):

Love and light peace and power
Miracle healing decends this hour
The wings of Isis drenched with feeling
Nothing escapes Her miracle healing
Surrender to Her from my heart so true
WHich is now exactly what I choose to do
Gratitute to Isis for the miracle coming to me
Her love and grace now set me free

Be the unselfish companion you are to your loved ones, most importantly to yourself. Many do not see that they need to be fair to themselves as much as they need/want to others. Having high hopes and expectations on yourself is a great driver to success, but also acknowledge the failures as much as the successes.

Be the strict and proud self as you are,but do not neglect the feminine side too. We all have both masculine & feminine sides to our characters, an even balance of both worlds can then bring to light the higher purpose of life, goals and achievements.

XIII - The Reaping Skeleton

After yesterday's 'exercise', take time to rest and reap the benefits. The change to your lifestyle is much needed and necessary for great things to come.

Daily draw: 18 May 2015

LVII - Three of Swords

Having that ongoing 'fighting spirit' is a good spirit to have, but just keep check of your progress, and not let it lead you astray, so much so that it's off the desired track you started out with when taking this path. And most importantly not lead you down an aggressive route.

Play down the roughy/sharp edges and complete your journey in a smooth circle. All things return to the very beginning, the source, where all things sprout from - ideas, manifestation, magic.. Walk the (right) talk and the path will be an easier one to tackle - just like walking on foot reflexology path; you may feel the small pains and pleasure points the pebbles are pressing on your foot, but when you truly understand what they mean to your overall body well being, you'll gladly take in that experience, and walk on, and the whole experience/exercise will complete smoothly.

Daily draw: 17 May 2015

XIII - The Reaping Skeleton (Death)

Yesterday you were lost of what's happening at this moment. Have you found out what is stressing you out? Personal expectations? Career expectations?

Learn how to let go of certain things, certain expectations of yourself that is holding you down. Holding on to too many roles at a time will only increase the chances of dropping duties along the way. Why not consider reducing the expectations on some, so that you can better manage the rest.

The sooner you get them sorted, the sooner you can come back to handling those that you temporarily let down earlier. No one will fault you for not being able to multi-manage when you risk jeopardizing the whole project if you do. Rather do some well than to screw up the entire chain.

Daily draw: 16 May 2015

LIX - Five of swords

The battle has been laid before you. You have taken on the challenge upon yourself earlier, and now you are regretting it. You are feeling lost and stressed out due to the inner and outset conflict you're experiencing at this moment, resulting in confusion and mental breakdown.

What can't be changed: your commitment level to this battle/agreement/project, etc

What can be changed: the outcome, your perspective of how things are, how well the outcome can be, and work towards that positivity, instead of honoring around the negatives of the current situation.

Daily Draw: 15 May 2015

XXI - The Crown of The Magicians (The World)

The three-stringed harp represents the threefold harmony in human life of body, mind and spirit. This also represents the harmony of the spiritual triad in the higher sense. She is surrounded by a circle of threefold lotus blossoms - floats a winged creature, half fish and half bird. This is the soul rising above the material plane. It is also a higher fifth element, places in the center of four elements - four tamed and atuned animals, all components of the Sphinx: a human, a bird, a lion, and a bull. This is the crown of all virture surrounding the soul.

Realise your highest ideals and goals. An ultimate goal is successfully reached.

Embrace the change, and realise the returns.

Weekly Draw: 15 May - 20 May 2015

Temple of Lapis Lazuli - Goddess of the Ancient Skies

Your Soul is not only very ancient and beloved, it also does not only herald from the Earth. It also holds much special wisdom of Star Peoples from civilization far and near, with unique high vibrational awareness that can help humanity transition from a civilization based in fear to a love-based culture. Follow the guiding light, to come into deeper acceptance of your own inner knowing.

You may feel a little lost because the ancient souls are unfamiliar to the current state of the Earth. Take time to meditate with your stars and past souls. Maintain that thorough connection and gain the rich knowledge and experiences from your ancient souls.

Daily Draw: 14 May 2015

LII - Mistress of Swords

As forthcoming as you are (front seat facing) acting on the surface, you are afraid to face the issue deep within. You think too much of the 'why' things turn out as such, and not the 'why' things had actually happened that led you to such a situation. There is no point in analyzing (and reanalyzing)  on the outcome alone, and not looking further into the source of the issue, of which would had prevented the undesirable outcome.

Daily Draw: 13 May 2015

III - Isis-Urania (Empress) & Two of Cups

Today's two cards dropped out while shuffling the deck. So I suppose it's a sign for further understanding into what's happening for today.

Isis-Urania (Empress) represents a motherly figure/nurturing nature, abundance, youth, loyalty, virtuous lover, and powerful protector.

The Two of Cups talks about relationships, partnering union and harmony. Experiencing oneness, loyalty, partnership, friendship, marriage or alto a cause of inner peace and joy.

Together, I interpret them as one's feminine self is being enhanced at this point of time, leading one to some improved relationship status, a union or sorts. It could also mean that one is looking forward to a time of bonding with friends/family member whom they have not met for some time now.

Daily Draw: 12 May 2015

LVII - Three of Swords

Tap on fighting spirit and the ability to aggressive when needed. Aggression need not be a negative behavior to have if applied correctly on the right situation.
There may be a struggle or conflict, but work on your strengths and you will be fine.

LXXVVIII - Ten of Pentacles

You have reached a professional or personal peak as a direct result of one's own efforts. You are realizing some material goal that you have been striving for.

But do keep an eye on your progress now that you have reached a point of momentarily success. Keep in mind that with every high point, follows the danger of a downfall. Do keep regular check points on your progress, so that you minimize the risks of downfalls, or a decline (of any degree).
