SACRED FOOL

When the Sacred Fool appears in our midst we are being pushed to take risks in favor of our happiness.

It can be all too easy to shrink into the shadows out of fear of embarrassing ourselves or seeming like a fool in front of our peers. It is important to remember that fortune favors the bold. The universe wants to see us take chances and step out of our comfort zones. Life is not meant to be endless routines and playing it safe. It is also important to remember that to be authentic is a divine act of love. The more you are willing to break barriers in favor of your freedom and fulfillment the more you will see opportunities appear before you.

Embarrassment simply comes from a fear of judgment. If you can stand fully in the realization that you are in control of your responsiveness to others and take ownership of this fear then you dismantle its power and are able to begin releasing its hold. Remember, anybody who holds judgment in their heart is not in full understand of themselves and the best example you can set for these individuals is to continue to be yourself regardless.

Acceptance and understanding are not everything. The only validation that you need is from within your own being and from the divine. It is far better to be an outsider who knows how to live their truth than to be surrounded by people who think they understand you but in truth have no idea who you really even are.

By removing yourself from any environment that feels stifling you are signaling to the divine “hey, I’m ready and will to receive my worth.” Self love and support to take you to greater heights than you can even imagine. So today recognize your authenticity as a powerful force of creativity and be willing to use it to manifest a life of true fulfillment.

THE WHITE DUCHESS

In order to move into a future that is brimming with happiness we must be willing to release the ties of our past that leave us feeling wounded and less than who we truly are. It can be frightening releasing our fears and wounds because without realizing it we use them as a source of protection, a barrier from true vulnerability. Vulnerability is absolutely key to being immersed in a prosperous life. The walls of protection we create around ourselves not only push away our companions but they make it much more difficult to receive our blessings from the universe.

The White Duchess signals a time where everything is falling into place and happiness abounds. In order to fully appreciate this moment we are asked to totally let go of the past. In order to do this we must stand in forgiveness and acceptance for what has been. We must forgive ourselves and all those who we feel have done us wrong in our life. If you have trouble forgiving a particular individual it is often you who needs your forgiveness. Often the reason we can’t forgive another is because at the root we are actually blaming ourselves for allowing the situation to occur, so you must forgive yourself. Understand that every lesson was worth learning. This is where acceptance comes in. When we don’t accept our past it creates a break in trust not only with ourselves but with the divine as well. Since we are questioning why everything happened the way it did it leaves us unable to fully make future decisions for our highest good, we find ourselves asking questions like “what if I make a mistake? What if it doesn’t work out? What if I get hurt again?” Acceptance allows you to look at the past from the space of “everything that has happened has happened for my highest good, and everything that will happen in the future will be for my highest good as well.” Acceptance is simply the realization that everything is as it should be. Without some of our hardest lessons we wouldn’t be fully aware of our strength and resilience. Often it is our wounds that wake us up to our true power. That doesn’t mean we should allow the wound to fester, we must heal so that the journey may continue.

CIRCUS OF LOVE

Circus of love comes to us a reminder that the mind does not always know the best course of action to bring happiness and fulfillment into our worlds. The mind can easily be lost in worry, doubt and suspicion about the intentions of others. There is a part of ourselves that is much more reliable when it comes to seeking long term joy. Naturally I’m referring to the heart. The heart can sense, feel and tune in to truths that a restless mind could simply never uncover.

We live in a world that prizes logic over intuition which I do believe is in direct connection to the chaos we see unfolding all around us. People in power are making decisions strictly from their mental when in truth their heart should be guiding their decisions for the highest good of all.

This card appears to remind us today to choose love. To tell us to think a little less and love a little more. Let joy find its place in your heart and worry filter itself away. To do this you must simply ask yourself what it is that will bring love and peace into your world and listen for your answers from your heart center. From there be willing to take the action required to bring you this joy without trying to combat your needs with logic. Let love’s voice be heard and go after the things that make you feel alive.

One of the most important reasons we choose to incarnate is for love, we must never forget that in the pursuit of our ambitions or obligations. Love connects us all through a golden thread of divinity. Divine love, self love, creative love, romantic love and the love for your soul family all are of equal import. Take a moment today to see how you can invite more love into your world. Love will always gladly accept the invitation, you must simply allow it in.
