DUKE OF SHADOWS

Duke of shadows appears in instances in our life where grand cycles of manifestation have been set in motion beneath the radar of our awareness. The duke comes as a reminder that just because you don’t see your desires growing into a vibrant picture on the surface doesn’t mean that there isn’t an immense amount of movement beneath the surface. All will be revealed in divine timing and not a moment sooner.

If you find yourself in a position where the possible outcomes seem dark or unclear then rest assured that you have not reached the end of your journey. All will be revealed as it is meant to, and if all has not been revealed then there is more to the story to unfold.

Sometimes we must linger in shadow so that we have the opportunity to rest and replenish from our last season of manifestation and also to prepare internally for what we have asked to appear in our external world. The universe will never serve us what we are not ready for, which is why they will offer us as much time in stillness as is necessary. Every moment in darkness carries a hidden blessing and higher perspective.

This is a time where we do not want to take everything at face value because the universe has love tricks up its sleeve and loves to keep us guessing. Just when we think we’ve got it figured out another turn is added on the spiral of manifestation. Embrace this inability to know exactly what’s about to unfold but trust with the 100% certainty what whatever comes has been well woven together for your highest good.

GUEST OF HONOR

Many individuals who follow dedicatedly along their personal path of spirituality or creativity often find themselves feeling slightly isolated as they grow into themselves. For many they identity themselves as a lone wolf, even amongst family and friends feeling slightly out of place.

While as a lone wolf you may experience periods of discomfort and longing for the true understanding of others, being a lone wolf or outsider comes with a very sacred gift that isn’t truly unveiled until an individual is entirely comfortable being who they are even without the understanding of others.

This gift is the acquired knowledge of self love and understanding that they may later take back to the masses and lead with as an example of divine love. This is where the guest of honor card comes into play. For the solitude is not an act of isolation, but of preparation for the role of authority that you have always been destined for.

So, as an individual who feels set apart from the rest (not better or worse, merely different) release any doubts or fears about your place in the world. Trust with divine assurance that you are being prepared for the role of a lifetime. The time will soon come where many will look for you for example and all that will be required of you is to look deep within your soul. Every answer you shall seek will be waiting in happy anticipation for you as a gift for the world.

SECRET OF SHINOBI

There will be moments in our life that arise where we begin to want to publicly share our joys and successes with the world around us. While it is understandable to want to share your victories with the world as they unfold, Secrets of Shinobi appears and urges us to protect our new found joys as if they were seedlings that had just burst from the Earth and are still in need of our protection from the Elements around them before they are ready to thrive on our own.

Sometimes when we allow a half formed idea or new found joy to be shared in an environment that is not ready for its arrival we risk having it stamped out before it truly has the time to stand on its own. This is because not every environment is suited for every flower to bloom. Sometimes the environment is too cold, too stifling, too packed with hard Earth for a seed to have an honest chance to rise. We must be discerning of the environments we share our joys, carefully sensing whether or not this environment supports of growth or whether it would rather see a garden smothered before it truly ever opens up.

As marvelous as it would be to receive full support from every being you encounter, there will simply be individuals on your path who do not have the capacity to offer you the support you deserve. This doesn’t mean they have malicious intent, but sometimes individuals cannot hold space for you based on their own place in their growth process. Sharing your happiness with individuals who cannot hold space for us sets us up to feel as if our ideas are less worthy than they are. Many of beautiful ideas have been stifled before they ever reached the surface and the light of love because a “friend” said it was a bad idea when in truth they were just afraid of watching the success of another.

Sometimes things are simply left to bloom in the quiet spaces of your soul and heart until the moment they are strong enough to thrive in the light of the unlocking sun on their own. The world not knowing of your secret happiness does not take away its validity. Happiness will make itself known to the world in its own way, in its own natural rhythms. Make sure today you give your happiness the chance to truly thrive by discerning whether it needs more time snuggled in the soil before it makes its appearance to the world.
