wanted to create a collective soul reading this week—something based on the way I offer private Soul Readings for individual clients, but for all of us together. This reading focuses on the pain points you may be feeling right now and how we can bring healing and understanding to them, with help from the Divines, the ancestors, your guides—and mine, of course.
So, take a moment to get comfortable.
Breathe deeply and softly.
If you'd like, call in your guides, ancestors, or any divine presence you work with to join us in this space. I'll take a moment to do the same.
I've already saged our space to cleanse, protect, and purify. I've also worked with my Aurora Borealis Obsidian sphere to center and tune in more deeply to this week's collective pain points.
What I'm sensing is a deep tiredness—both physical and emotional. There's also a strong feeling of alone-ness and anxiousness.
Let's begin with a chakra check-in, starting with the Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine. You can visualize this chakra as glowing red or black, connecting you to your sense of security, grounding, and belonging.
In the collective field, there's definite anxiety around financial security and stability.
This morning I read about the growing AI investment bubble, and how so many people are struggling just to afford breakfast. Even pizza companies are offering $2 specials because workers can't afford to eat out anymore. All of this collective pressure adds to the sense of unease many of us are feeling.
To explore this further, I'm pulling a Lefty Oracle card from my non-dominant hand-drawn Lefty deck. As usual, I first tune in psychically before turning the card over, to see if the message aligns with what I receive intuitively.
Mantra by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)
What I'm getting is the need for quiet expansion—both inward and outward. The need for quiet space and quiet time. If that resonates, give yourself permission this week to carve out even a few moments each day to simply be in that quiet.
As you do, envision that expansive stillness filling every cell of your body.
Let that quiet energy nourish you. You might even choose a talisman or necklace to remind you of this energy—something you can wear or keep nearby as a gentle cue to return to stillness throughout your day.
Aries Goddess-Kali by Kathy Crabbe (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)
Now, I'm shuffling my Zodiac Goddess Power Deck for guidance from Goddess. The mantra I always use when giving a Soul Reading (to myself or others) is:
"There is very little that needs to be done." (Francesca De Grandis)
This simple truth helps us surrender to the Divine—whether you call that Goddess, God, or the Divines. And the message this week is clear: No more homework! You already have enough on your plate.
Now, let's take a peek at the two cards drawn for this Collective Soul Reading:
Lefty Card: Mantra — a cat declaring, "I am not overly concerned with you or your problems." (Very appropriate, I must say!)
Zodiac Goddess Card: Aries Goddess-Kali — her affirmation is, "I face my fears and transform them."
Both cards carry what might seem like a selfish energy—but it's actually a healing kind of selfishness. It's about giving yourself the space you need to heal, rest, and transform. Aries, the baby and pioneer of the zodiac, reminds us that self-focus is sacred when it leads to renewal. And our cat friend, Mantra, aligns beautifully with Kali's fierce independence and transformative power.
That feels complete for today's soul reading. I wanted to keep it short and offer some practical, magical tools to work with throughout the week.
Wishing you many blessings during this Scorpio Season.
Blessed Be,
Love, Kathy Crabbe,
Soul Reader & Artist
LuLu in Laguna Days - 1990s, with one of my hand painted silk mermaid kimonos, Laguna Beach, California
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
It's the end of an era! I'm releasing all my LuLu in Laguna silk art originals and prints in a massive 70% off sale as I say goodbye to this beautiful chapter of my artist's journey. Created during my Laguna Beach years (1992-2000), these vibrant silk pieces were born during my first Saturn Return when I discovered my true calling as an artist. Now, at 60 and entering my second Saturn Return, it's time to lighten the load, make space for new creations, and share the magic of LuLu one last time. Every purchase includes a free print, and remaining works will be donated to ocean, fresh water and pet rescue foundations. Thank you for 30 years of love and support—here's to the next adventure!

About Kathy Crabbe
I channel healing magick through my work as an artist, soul reader and creator of six divination decks. Dividing my time between California and Canada, I travel by caravan to mer-faerie cottages lovingly hand built by my beloved Mark and myself.
“I’ve been following Kathy with her newsletter for awhile and have most of her decks. I really love the free spirit, beautiful artwork, and meaningful details about the herbs, the gods, the astrology,and the affirmations. Well, I was drawn to do one of her soul readings and I am so glad that I did. I received amazing insights, connection to my guides and ancestors, and doable steps to move forward in joy. Kathy was very generous with her time after the fact for any questions or clarifications. She is very approachable and genuine. Treat yourself to a reading if you are being called to do so. It was a really great experience for me!”
