Hello everyone!! So glad you could join in on this week's free, collective card reading! How collective readings work: Because we live in a Law of Attraction based universe, we can only experience people, places, things, & experiences that we are a perfect vibrational match to. This means that if you've found your way here, then there is absolutely a message for you that applies to your life in some way. How to do it: Look below at the photo of this week's cards, and think about your intention for this reading. Perhaps you will have a particular question or circumstance in mind that the reading can provide insight into, or maybe you just need a general message! Once you've determined the card(s) of your choice, continue reading this post to reveal the cards & meanings. *Note that when it comes to finding something you are unconscious of, what you read might not resonate immediately, as you cannot feel resonation if what you're dealing with is still shadow. Your job is to discover how the card(s) you chose DOES apply to you and your life.

And sometimes, aversion to the unfamiliar is the way to ensure you will never line up with what you truly desire and truly need. Things that are familiar feel safe to us. They feel known and predictable and controllable. It is perfectly understandable why we gravitate towards things that are safe. But this can lead us to a life of limitation. When we are familiar with something, like a culture for example, we tend to have an aversion to contact with (or use of) ideas, practices, products and even knowledge that exists outside that culture. It doesn’t take a genius to see how much of a problem that can be. The misconception people have about people who are afraid of getting out of their comfort zone is that they are afraid of the unknown. Knowledge is often used by the ego to keep itself away from the rocky seas of uncertainty. But, the idea that anyone fears the unknown is totally false. You don’t fear the unknown. If we truly feared the unknown, babies would fear everything and they do not. What we fear is what we project into the unknown based on our previous experiences. When we are facing the unknown, the mind goes to work projecting its already acquired fears into the unknown to try to predict what lies in the unknown and then goes to work trying to figure out how to avoid those fears. It is those projections that we fear. For example, if we quit our job that we have been working at for 10 years to do something radically new and different with our life, we are venturing into the unknown. But we don’t fear that unknown in and of itself. We fear the potential failure and fall from grace that we could experience socially by venturing into the unknown. We fear this because we have experienced the feeling of failure and fall from grace before and wish to avoid this feeling at all costs. We do not fear the unknown in and of itself. We fear the potential unwanted things we predict that the unknown could contain. If we learned to not project our fears into the unknown, the unknown would no longer be scary. If you have drawn this Sigil, you are using the fears you are imagining exist outside your safety zone, to validate your choice to stay in your safety zone. And so you are a prisoner to your own refusal to feel uncomfortable. Getting out of your safety zone, which is what you really, really need to do at this time, implies being willing to experience discomfort for the sake of your own expansion. If you have drawn this Sigil, you probably already know what you need to do as opposed to staying in your comfort zone. You are probably well aware of what you are avoiding, just not fully why. Therefore, once you know what step you are being called to take that is outside your comfort zone (what feels like a stretch for you right now), you need to take it! Card #2 - Productivity in Reverse: If you have drawn this card in reverse, you are currently out of touch with reality and are struggling to bring yourself back down to earth. There may be confusion, impatience, and a lack of a clear plan. You need to free yourself from the current situation in order to give yourself some perspective and reassess the situation. Ask yourself/journal out the following questions: Where am I focusing my energy? Are my objectives clear? What skills and abilities are needed in this situation? How am I communicating with others? What do I want others to believe or see about me? When this card is drawn in reverse, you have a lot of skills, talents, & abilities you have gained over the years that you're not using right now. There is something that you know you are very good at, but you have not allowed yourself the opportunity to really explore and nurture this skill. You will already know what these talents are, so ask yourself: Why am I not putting these talents to good use? What is getting in the way of drawing upon my skills and abilities and reaching my full potential? What needs to change in order for me to be the best person I can be? You will need to find opportunities where you can tap into this unused skill and bring it into the conscious mind. Now is the time to get out of your own way. By getting out of your own way, you can finally begin creating the life you've always wanted. Card #3 - Sigil 16 - Control If you have drawn this Sigil, you are doing what you are doing for control. Your hidden motive of control is causing you pain and other people pain as well. You are most likely trying to control the inevitable or control the uncontrollable. As a result, you are feeling powerless, terrified and out of control. You are focusing on something as if it is something that you can control and as if controlling it will prevent pain. This is especially true when you are trying to control things external to you. It is a superbly powerless position to put yourself in to require them to do something else so that you can feel good. In this way, trying to control puts you squarely out of control. This is why it could be said that control is an illusion. Look at this situation and ask yourself: “How am I trying to control in this scenario?” Criticism is often an attempt to gain control of others. We are only critical of something when we are afraid we will be affected by something. Criticism is a cry for help in disguise. It is a cry for help that says, “I feel powerless to others and so I can’t trust myself to make myself feel good and especially to feel emotionally safe and so I need you to correct this thing that is going to cause me pain so I don’t have to feel bad.” Control is impregnated with disapproval. If I am going to control myself, I am disapproving of myself in some way and distrusting of myself in some way. If I am controlling of other people, I am disapproving of and distrusting them in some way. If you have drawn this Sigil, constantly trying to assert your power to influence or direct your own and/or other people's behavior as well as the course of events is the problem at hand. You are controlling yourself and/or controlling others in ways that do not benefit you or them at all. What behaviors and course of events exactly are you trying to avoid? Consider that the way you are going about it is simply getting you into another painful situation and that pushing against what you do not want is making it impossible to bring about what you actually do want. Card #4 - Creativity: If you have drawn this card upright, transcend the traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships or the like to create new, meaningful things. If you have been in resistance to your creativity, this is a good time to let it out of the bag. Everyone is a creator at their core. Everyone is an artist. What have you always wanted to create, but haven't yet? If you are in the middle of a creation, now is the time for it to progress. Meet your inner artist. Let the world be a canvas for your individual expression. Card #5 - Sigil 7 - Meaning: If you have drawn this Sigil, you have assigned a meaning to this situation (or an experience that is part of this situation) that is not the actual meaning of the experience or situation. People search for a way of interpreting the implication of every experience in their lives. Seeking out the meaning of experiences is an advanced form of consciousness. But as we know all too well, there are pitfalls to advancement. The ability to derive meaning is both something that sets our species apart as an evolved and rapidly expanding facet of consciousness, as well as what causes us to self-destruct. The quality of our experience is flavored by one thing, and that is the meaning that we assign to the experience. It is critical to recognize that there is a difference between what actually happens and the meaning of what happens. We must see that meaning does not inherently exist in the world in and of itself. Therefore, meaning does not inherently exist in a situation. It is an interpretation. And it is best not to confuse Interpretation with Truth. If meaning does not inherently exist in an experience, we must and do assign it to the experience and then we mistake the event and the meaning of the event for the same thing. You can destroy your whole life based on the meaning you assign to an event. For example, imagine that a little girl asks her dad to play dolls at 3 years old, but he is on the phone. He yells at her to stop bugging him. This is a traumatic experience for her at three years old. She takes it personally. Now, let’s pretend the meaning she assigns to this event is: “I am insignificant to my dad.” That was not the meaning of the experience of the event for the father, the meaning for the father was, “I’m busy right now.” But the moment that little girl assigns that meaning to the event, it is as if a colored lens comes up over her eyes and from that moment on, all things that happen between her and her father are filtered through that colored lens. The truth is now colored and distorted by that perception that the meaning creates. Every time something happens between the father and daughter that causes her to feel bad, it will automatically strengthen that meaning she’s perceiving her life through. The colored lens gets thicker and thicker until anything that doesn’t reinforce it, cannot pass through. This father could really love his daughter more than anything in his life and do all kinds of loving things, but it will not matter because all his actions are now being filtered through the lens of the meaning she adopted at 3 years old. The father has no idea why she is so angry with him as she grows up. The girl in this scenario is likely to grow up believing she is insignificant to men, just like she was to daddy and will end up in relationships with emotionally unavailable men, wondering why her self esteem is so low. Looking at this analogy of the colored lens, doesn’t this account for why two people perceive the same thing so differently? If you have drawn this Sigil, the painful meaning you assigned to this situation (or to an experience that is a part of this situation), was never the actual meaning of the situation or experience. What you must consider is that you’ve been punishing people or avoiding them for a meaning that you, yourself assigned to that experience with them. What you must consider is that much of the pain you are experiencing in this situation is not because of what you actually experienced, but because of the meaning you’ve assigned to that experience. Ask yourself, “What am I making this mean?” Then question that meaning so that you can discern the difference between what is actually happening and what you think the meaning of the experience is.
