As I pondered on what to focus on for this blog post, I realized that Spring will be upon us soon. I thought it would be fun to check in with The Tarot to see what messages would come through for the Spring Equinox. I have the perfect deck for the occasion too. The Ostara Tarot by Molly Applejohn, Eden Cooke, Krista Gibbard, and Julia Iredale. Ostara is another word for Spring and it is commonly used and celebrated by Wiccans, Pagans, and Witches. However, you don't have to identify or practice these religions and rituals to read with this deck.

The first message I'll share in this post is one about Love. Now, if you know me or have had a reading with me you know that my idea of love includes romantic, platonic, familial, with self, and any other relationship. When I asked for a Love message I wasn't sure what it would relate to exactly but I'm very satisfied with the message that came through and I hope it brings you the same feeling of love that I got from it. The second message has to do with rebirth, what will pop back into our lives in a new way or will come back to life after a period of distance (winter). Finally the third message is about what we can continue to deal with, what continues to be similar moving forward. I hope that these messages are a contribution to you.

It's time to dream big, to believe that your dreams can come true. If you truly reach for them you'll quickly see them beginning to take shape. If you imagine it, you can have it. Dream big enough to imagine leaving a legacy after you're gone. Your wishes and dreams can change the world. It is your right to see positive change. If you have gone through an unfair situation, the scales will rebalance in your favor. The truth always comes out and this decision will give you the boost you need to reach even higher, or to even begin dreaming again, and to believe in positive outcomes. Your dreams and aspirations can also bring Justice to others and if so, you must not give up on them.

Maybe you had doubts about being able to regain what you lost. But realize that you lost the pieces that were holding you back. The pieces that added difficulty and struggle to your life and to the possibility of your dreams coming true. So it was necessary for them to go. In this next attempt, you'll be a lot more stable. In a way you are freer now from the mess and you can call your own shots. For those that are in the process of having to let things go. Don't be afraid to do so. Yes, it is easier said than done. If you're really going to reach for the moon, you must let go of all the things that tether you to the ground. If you want to fly and move about freely you have to become lighter in spirit and in your body. Is your body asking for more movement, more activity, or are you having to let go of material possessions that keep you stuck in certain places? Think about it.

A lot of the energy that is coming in this season is of a higher vibration and it can be very different than what some people are used to. It scares people when their normal ways of being and their patterns don't work. This is an opportunity to practice faith, faith that you can learn new ways. Faith that if something isn't meant to be, that it will be removed from your path. If you are working on raising your vibration, resist the urge to hold on to these things or to go chasing after them. Be willing to experience true freedom. You can't move into a better future by holding onto your past. Integrate the lessons from the past and they will help you in the future.

I do see an indication of a big change coming to a family connection. While it may seem devastating at first, the cards surrounding it are all favorable. I'm inclined to say that this is a positive change. It could be looking back or because it was a long-time coming.

February is International Boost Your Self-Esteem Month. It is dedicated to helping people around the world learn ways in which they can boost their self-esteem. The way I know how to help people in this area, and what has worked for me has been energy healing, specifically Reiki energy healing. ​In this article I will point out how Reiki energy healing can help you overcome any blocks you may be experiencing when it comes to boosting your self-esteem. This information came to me as a vision and I saw how the chakras are connected to our communication, support, respect, and skill building abilities.

Self-esteem is how you think and feel about yourself. People with high self-esteem are considered to be confident, strong in the face of challenges, and supportive of others. One develops self-esteem in two main ways; the first way is through external validation; these are the messages we receive from others about ourselves. About who we are and our abilities. When someone compliments you that increases your self-esteem. Other people can help build us up or break us down and in turn we can do the same for others. Giving other people compliments or recognizing them for something they’ve done can also make us feel good and in turn boost our self-esteem. The second way; is through our internal influence which is determined by the quality of our thoughts and feelings about who we think we are. It is important to use both ways in a balanced manner to become both a confident and loving person.

I remember sitting in my first therapist’s office, at the age of 13 or 14, completely confused and unable to say much when the therapist asked me to name any positive qualities I thought I had. I may have said, “I’m good at drawing” after several minutes of silence. But I’m not sure. At the time that’s all I could have tangibly seen was true about me. I don't remember much about that year of therapy other than being given anti-depressants, which I took for 10 years.

This is the first year that I took the time to sit down to receive information for each astrological sign. My predictions are psychic in nature, meaning that they are based on the visions, sensations, and feelings I received for each sign. The method I used is the one I use for all my readings, I set an intention, I focus on the sign (for personal readings it would be the person), a window opens and the information starts coming in. ​The question I asked for every single sign was: What can (blank) sign expect in 2022 under each category?

I hope you enjoy your prediction, and they give you the information you need to navigate the year with a little more patience, understanding, and optimism. 

Aries: In general I see a path opening up for you to keep moving forward. Up until now you’ve had to deal with certain blocks towards your personal goals, and in 2022 you will become aware of what the block has been. You may have to learn how to manage boundaries to distance yourself from those blocks. These can be certain people or ways of thinking and acting or both.

Love for Aries: The year will start slow in this area. Maybe there is a something you need to heal before you can bring new life into this area. The slow speed is characterized by protection and healing so don’t get frustrated by this speed. It can be in relation to the block mentioned in the general message, that it has been there for your protection. 2022 is the year to see it and move past it Aries. This can happen as soon as May, however you can expect it towards the second half of the year. After this period, the growth and expansion is steady and predictable. You will become more responsible about what you bring into your life. You might learn the difference between letting your fiery nature take you on a variety of adventures vs using your fiery nature to breathe life and passion into specific adventures. You end the year in happy spirits with loved ones celebrating, dancing, and laughing. I do see this being around family and friends that feel like family. By the end of the year you’ll be in a better position to socialize and attract whoever you wish to.

Career for Aries: Your career will definitely receive an upgrade in 2022 Aries. You start the year in a strong position doing what you love and feeling like you’re taken cared of. You’ll be working on projects you’ve only dreamed of or that allow other people to bring their dreams into reality. As you move into the year, I see that you’ll receive help with the responsibilities. This can be your company hirings someone to help in your department. I see you feeling supported and heard at work. If any doubts arise in your mind about your performance or knowledge, pay attention to pushing them away. Remember that learning and practice is part of everyone’s job. If you’re tasked with doing something new, just focus and you’ll get it done. It might even bring you a nice bonus. You end the year feeling very secure about and in your career life. You see the long-term path open for you and you can confidently walk it.

Taurus: For you, when it comes to big projects and long-term relationships on any level, expect a shake-up. Anywhere or anything that has been bothering you that you’ve allowed to be, pushed away so you didn’t have to deal with it will now come to the forefront for change. It is time to rearrange the pieces that make up these stories. If it’s not the best of the best for your long-term success, except it to get cleaned out. I see a lot of activity around these situations in 2022 for you Taurus.

​Love for Taurus: I am seeing a wake up coming about your love life. This can be in general or about a specific person in your love life. I am being shown the revealing of someone who has brought a lot of pain and struggle in this area for you. It is as if they are coming clean and you finally understand why it’s been so difficult. This gives you the courage to move on and cut ties with this toxic individual. For some of you, it might take you moving on first before this person comes clean. By the end of the year I see you washing your hands clean from this situation. This person has been draining your energy and the main reason you haven’t been able to upgrade your love life. You have the strength, you just need to do it.

Career for Taurus: At the beginning of the year you’re either waiting for an opportunity or a lot of people are coming to you and asking you about an opportunity. The word I see associated with this is mentorship. In a lot of ways it looks like you’ve reached a level in your career where people come to you for advise in one way or another. Your eye is on a prize and you’re being very careful about where you invest your time, expertise, and resources. I do see you finding someone to collaborate with by the end of the year. It is someone who is on your level and has different set of skills than you. For instance one can be the brains and the other the muscle or one of you can be traditional while the other is more unconventional. If you need to work alone in the first part of the year, you’ll do fine, however I do see and feel that this partner is like a business soulmate. You might develop a personal and work relationship together or you both love working and helping each other reach goals together.

Gemini: In general you may have to revisit a lesson this year. It is connected to a reunion with a person or a group of people. This lesson comes up once more so you can finally put an end to it. Do not get discouraged. Once you pass it you’ll never have to deal with it again in the same way. You’ll carry this wisdom inside of you.

​Love for Gemini: Early in the year you are choosing a commitment after having a moment of inactivity. I see barriers being removed for you which allow you to express your feelings. You might even express your feelings to more than one person in this scenario. This helps the other person you are communicating with make a decision about the commitment too. By the middle of the year you’ll find out that this person was involved with another story surrounding a child. There may even be distance between you and I do see them wanting to travel closer to you or they find a way to bring you closer to them. If they can’t make it happen, they’ll open up about their situation with this child for in order for you to understand of what’s been happening. No matter how frustrated you may feel during the year I do see a reconciliation by the end of the year. There’s a chance to relax and breathe again as you come into this reunion.

Career for Gemini: In your career I see a major partnership happening. If you already have a wonderful boss or business partner this could be them showing up in the reading. They are highly creative and caring, they love what they do, and they are focused on expansion. If you haven’t met them yet, this is someone who you will be working with or for in 2022. This is in relation to work that fulfills both of you. The exchange of ideas and assistance is equal and exciting. I see both of you winning together and acknowledging each other for the success. It can happen as soon as March when you start working together in this way. If there is distance between you, you’ll either be traveling for work or one of you will move closer to the other.
