Taurus New Moon: I Am Safe and Protected

Dear Moon Muser,
The hardest thing for me right now is just to keep going, knowing I am but one voice, one squeak, one noise, but also one great symphony when joined with your voice. Not in fear, but in LOVE.

To be not afraid, to be heard, and to sing our song of hope, for a future that feels very unknown and scary right now. May all that I do help to guide, heal and delight you.

For my New Moon Reading this month I'm doing it differently. I'm spreading out all three of my hand painted oracle decks, closing my eyes and asking the gods to help me choose.

New Moon Reading

Be a child with me.
Drop away pretenses, false ego.

Protect yourself
(as a child would)
(as a young person would)
(as an adult would).

Observe those defenses.

Ask your body what it needs right now.
Be in that dream for a bit.
Safe and protected.

Now look at the card I pulled above.
What is it saying? What are you feeling, thinking?

Next, thank the cards, the Divines, yourself for BEING you and for allowing your safety to feel good - without fear.

Blessed Be.
So mote it be.

Check out this wee healing video I made for the New Moon. (You may want to turn on the sound.)

For me feeling safe and protected is to dream of being in nature, safe, without my glasses, playing, with my brother too, in the water, the forest, the floating dock, in the air, on water skis, swimming, floating, diving.

When I look at the card “Mummy” I am alone, at peace, dreaming.

Aquarius is the knowledge that all we do effects humanity.
We are humanity. We are love.
A new vision is birthed from the old.

Element: Air, Water

Medicine: Your call awakens the Divine within.

myself.

I rest.

present.

When this card appears in a reading you definitely need a break. Take some time for rest and relaxation, to shed your worries, get pampered and have some fun. This is not a time to crack down and get busy. You’ll achieve far more later by taking it easy now. Figure out an easy way to charge your batteries and make time for YOU.

In my own life, I love to simply just sit in nature, breathe in the smells and enjoy the sights; not thinking or doing anything, just being.

How to Find Calm Amidst the Storm this Leo New Moon

New Moon Reading Channeled by Kathy Crabbe
for the Leo New Moon on August 11, 2018

To begin, let's all create a shared, sacred, safe circle to join and blend and enhance all our powers of intuition and protection. Envision each one of us together across the globe sharing space, breathing in and breathing out together in honour of Mama Earth, Father Sky and all our relations. This is our time together to do with as we will. Blessed Be.

The Lefty Oracle card (below) I pulled for this reading asks us to stand (or sit) tall and proud, feeling our heart space filled with love, honour, pride and joy. You can also place your hand over your heart or a vein to feel it beating. You are very much alive and present in this moment. Acknowledge that.

Leo is a HEART SIGN; a passionate fire sign, and with the Sun now entering Leo and the planet Mercury (ruling communication) retrograde and Mars closer than it's been in 60,000 years since 2003 plus a Solar Eclipse, we are going to work with this energy to go within.

Often in an emergency our fight or flight reactions are so strong that they overwhelm us, so let's find some guidance around this right now. I'd like you to choose a color that calms and supports you, or pick a person (alive or dead) or an animal that can assist you in finding this calm.

Now, practice doing this by envisioning or calling up that color/person/animal right now as you relax your breath and get quiet. Allow your heart to fill with their presence and repeat or envision their name, the color, or the animal over and over until you feel calm.

Kidney Stones! My Story

The exercise above is based upon a recent bout I had with a 5 mm kidney stone. I thought I might be dying; the pain was intense. Whilst in the hospital having tests done I called upon my birth mother, Sally  (a nurse) who had passed away. I envisioned her as a lithe Green Goddess with long red hair just as I'd painted her previously to help me through her dad's funeral. Interestingly enough while in hospital awaiting tests, an orderly was calling out, "Is Sally here?" over and over. This was yet another confirmation for me, that yes, we are guided and protected just when we need it the most.

I also recommend Motherwort Tincture prepared in 100 proof vodka NOT grain alcohol for help with calming the nerves and the heart (as recommended by Susun Weed).

In Love & Health,

Lefty Oracle Card for the New Moon: This beauty is killing me*

Mantra: I am empowered
Affirmation: I am beautiful in my own way.
Element: Fire

When this card appears in a reading it’s time to seriously look at how you might be damaging yourself, your health, your life. Wearing high heels, for example is extremely harmful to your feet and back and will cause pain for you at some point in your life. Are you hurting others or being hurt? Are you vulnerable? Do you need protection and education around protecting yourself, your loved ones, your home, or the natural world around you? This card is simply pointing out the price you are paying for so called ‘beauty’. Is it worth it?

In my own life here in Southern California I look around at all the plastic surgeries and there are A LOT. But what can I do? I can accept me and put myself proudly out there to share my idea of what beauty means at middle age. It’s silver hair, extra weight and wrinkles that add to my beauty, not take away from it. I have survived AND thrived and beauty IS middle aged and wrinkled. So deal with it.

New Moon in Gemini Lefty Oracle Card Reveal!

Lefty Oracle Deck
New Moon in Gemini Reading
June 13, 2018
channeled by Kathy Crabbe
Soul Reader + Artist

Gemini; the inner child, the trickster, guides us during this New Moon time so working with my Lefty Oracle Deck is the perfect choice for helping us access our inner child.

Be still, quiet...let the chatter subside. Fill your inner space instead with Faery Blessings of moonlight and starlight and the songs of gods at play. Welcome!

If you've already chosen your Lefty Card for the New Moon from my previous blog post or social media posts then read on for the results of your choice.

New Moon in Gemini Lefty Oracle Card Reveal

Card No. 1: At night Karya dreams of wings

Mantra: I am magical.

Affirmation: My dreams have wings and so do I!

Element: Air

Song
There is magick in the night.
When small sounds become big,
and feathers form wings.

I fly to meet my maker,
angelic, pink and proud.
Heart aflutter.
Mind still.

Light years flash by -
Moon-Clear,
Heart-Wise.
Intuition awakens.

If this card appears in a reading your dreams are ready to take flight. So make them good dreams, dreams that light you up inside and add roses to your cheeks. Small dreams or big, it's not important, but you do have dreams and it's time to start believing in them by taking that first step towards realization. Let them come alive in your heart, your  soul, your body, your mind. Believe in YOU. You are Divine.

In my own life, dreams have always guided me although it's far from easy to pay attention to them. Often my body knows the truth when my mind does not, so I listen on as many levels as I can because truth can often be subtle.

Card No. 2: Demon

Mantra: I transform.

Affirmation: I journey into the dark to discover inner truths.

Element: Spirit

Song
Be brave dear Soul,

face your fright.
open the door,
welcome the light.

If this card appears in a reading expect the unexpected! There is a trickster in your midst. Maybe it's you? Not a mean trickster, but a true trickster; one who shifts your reality and helps you see things from a new perspective. Perhaps you've become complacent, or lazy, or overly self satisfied, and are no longer seeing the big picture becuase you're too caught up in small details and worries. This WILL change soon so get ready to open your eyes wide and see the world in a whole new way.

In my own life I do my best to see negative, challenging experiences on a deeper level and I ask questions, such as, "What is the teaching in this? What is being mirrored back to me about myself? What changes need to happen now?"

Card No. 3: I refuse to take sides

Mantra: I flow.

Affirmation: I stand for truth, beauty, intelligence and integrity.

Element: Water

Song
By my nature
I flow.

I am rhythm: inexorable,
changeable, unstoppable.

I cannot live on land
Or in the air (for long)

I am water,
lake,
ocean,
pond,
river,

healing tears,
blessed rain,
ice, and snow.

I will not fight for you, or your gods,
but I will invite you
beneath and below,
where your will becomes gills
and your choices nil.

Welcome. 

If this card appears in a reading you ARE in your power. Un-swayed by others, you know what you want. Guided by your own moral compass, intuition and intellect, the path is made easier. There is a fated quality to your decision. This is what you were put here to do.

In my own life there is a lot of second-guessing, so when the above happens and things feel fated I just KNOW I’m on the right track. Often a dream will confirm it. It’s so much easier to move forward with pluck and confidence when this happens. I can only describe it as a bone-deep knowingness; so deep that nothing can touch it because it’s meant to be.
