Pile One
There is an ancient wisdom that exists within you that you were always meant to reconnect with Pile One. You are remembering what you were born with. The desires within you have been a constant companion in your life, changing very little even as your life has continued to transform. The weight of this desire has felt heavy at times, almost immovable from your life, as if its fulfillment is a part of your destiny. This could have left you feeling as if you were born with a burden rather than a blessing.
No matter how far you have roamed in your creative exploration, this desire has been a steady presence for you to return to. Because of this energy, I can see a re-activation of both your curiosity and inspiration. While you do have a wild and free side to you, this desire anchors you into a focused attention that allows you to learn from the parts of you that also craves stillness and reflection.
It’s time to fully honor yourself by laying doubts around your manifesting capabilities to rest and reclaiming your passion for life. It is a miracle to be alive Pile One. The desires that you have remind you to celebrate this reality constantly. And while past redirections may have filled your heart with hesitation or pessimism, this is your opportunity to revitalize your attitude towards the imaginal (mystical possibilities). You are here to overcome your disbelief and manifest something miraculous.
Life has intentionally sparked a flame in the pit of your belly Pile One. An impulse that could easily be clouded by emotional doubt. Now is the time to hold claim to a nurtured practice of deep spiritual listening for the answers to begin forming. Please don’t mistrust this process, Pile One. It is reawakening your courage and expanding your life in ways you could have only imagined before.
How are your past desires manifesting in a different way? The work you have done to affirm that you deserve a life full of love and happiness is the foundation. You’re embracing a resurgence of your creative powers with the intention to continue to seek that which feeds your faith in self and the Universe. Continue to use these revelations as you would a map, charting the zones of your desires in order to answer the burning question of “What do I need?”
Be optimistic that Spirit is still sending you psychic information, even in the mundane moments. There is no such thing as a boring day with the type of desires that you have Pile One. Adventure is at every turn. Pay close attention to the guidance that is leading you towards your desires, knowing they are patiently awaiting your return.
Pile Two
In the past, waiting for a spark of inspiration felt like a dramatized experience for you. The idea of sitting in the void waiting for god to speak to you could have felt like punishment. Because of this, instead of feeling energized by your creative potential, you could have experienced feelings of anger or contempt instead. Your desire for action and creative freedom are about to create the space you need for your ideas to flourish, Pile Two. There is an understanding that is growing in your consciousness and it is asking you to not be intimidated by darkness perceived as lack.
Spirit is encouraging you to consider the blank canvas as a celebration of endless possibilities. As a creator and co-conspirator of your own joyful existence, your Spirit Guides would like for you to know that it is your consciousness that is helping to shape the manifestation of your reality. In the past, you could’ve been driven by a desire that you struggled to maintain while still learning aspects of yourself. Now, you are embracing your inner strength and commanding a power that is coming from within. The biggest difference between then and now is being led by your desire out of frustration vs building a relationship with your desire in order to navigate and transcend life’s challenges.
Through the cards I can see you pulsating with ideas and your body becoming a vessel for creative blessings. Spirit is asking you to “allow yourself to shine” and to “unfold your full potential” at this time. Let your desire for creative thought take you to higher places. The need for your inner warrior will always outweigh your fear or any attempts (intentional or otherwise) to sabotage the life you are meant to live.
This is a time for radical honesty Pile Two. Are there engrained feelings existing beneath the surface of your desires that are hindering you from your fullest potential? Have you been able to identify yourself as the Alchemist, willing and able to transmute any destruction into creative possibility? Spirit is with you in the endeavor of discovering your truth. They are ready to collaborate with you, once again, in finding your most curious, playful, imaginative self.
Pile Three
In the past you abandoned the desires you held with great esteem in your heart. Life’s circumstances presented major hardships that tested your willpower, strength, and devotion. Spirit wants you to know that these experiences were never meant to extinguish the dreamer within you. Which is why the desires have reawakened and are manifesting in a different way.
The journey you’ve been on with your desire has been complex. In one moment you felt completely loyal to the process and at other times you’ve felt devastated by disappointment. The constant confrontation from challenges along the way could’ve triggered feelings of failure within you. But every champion has had their share of losses, says Spirit, and every loss is not a defeat. This time around there is a force behind you unwilling to let you give up on this dream. Spirit is creating space in your life to bring in those wanting to collaborate with and uplift you in the pursuit of your desires. These individuals are definitely the assertive type that walk to the beat of their own drums, and yet, in the case of a common goal, they will be the buzz of inspiration that lifts your spirits.
Spirit is encouraging me to let you know that this isn’t the end of the rope. This 10 of swords energy feels intense, like the death card, but really it’s a symbol of completion. You are being called to release the overwhelm and exhaustion cluttering your mental frequency. The release is needed for you to be able to accurately communicate your needs and to be receptive to the needs of others. “I am committed to sharing and revealing my thoughts and feelings by being creative in my communication style and using expressive language.” It’s important to note that paying attention to what you say and how you say is crucial to the relationships helping you manifest your desires. Miscommunication is always possible, so lead with the patience and creativity you’ve uncovered during this time.
“I express myself through talking, singing, sighing, laughing and crying and through using my creative talents. I consciously use my senses to experience my world more fully. I see, hear, smell and feel more, and I become more aware of my surroundings, such as the weather, aromas, people, nature, sounds, and sights.” Your reconnection to desire has saturated your senses with a renewal of energy. To welcome your collaborators in and sustain the sensations feeding your desires, say no to behaviors of isolation. Try to avoid the impulse to wallow in private about the problems that need solutions. And do not engage from a place of anger if called out for your history of fleeing when the going gets tough. Spirit says just prove them wrong this time. Follow your heart.
Pile Four
In the past your desire left you disoriented, desperate for direction, grasping for meaning, and longing for solid ground. There was always a lack of clarity — an existential dread that kept you thirsting for life to go back to normal. Pursuing the desires you had offered you no comfort or pleasantries. In this new phase of desire, you are embracing the discomfort, knowing you will someday reach its fulllest manifestation. On this renewed path pursuing your desire, you are peeling off all layers of inauthenticity that have been placed on you by societal conditioning.
There is a bareness, an emptiness, you are experiencing before you step into this paradigm shift. I can see you approaching this experience with a sacred respect for the clairvoyant visions that come to you in the silence. In this silence, you shed all false narratives, beliefs, and stories, finding the truth within you that was once hidden. The 8 of cups in conjunction with the 5 of swords tells me that you’ve been fighting with an environment that will never truly replenish your spirit for desire. You’ve been hungry for peace, and while you have access to all that you need, existing in difficult conditions has made it feel impossible to achieve.
The Desert oracle card along with the 5 of swords can speak to a hostile, unforgiving atmosphere that has created miscommunication and confusion for you around your desire. There is a transformative realization taking root in your subconscious and it’s telling you that endings are merely part of the cycle of resurrection and rebirth. This “death” in the realm of your desire is inevitably leading you to a second chance at a new life. The emotions that are represented in your 8 of cups are encouraging you to walk away from poorly planned ideas and precarious arrangements. In leaving this energy behind, you will notice a portal that was once closed opens to you with no warning.
Spirit is asking you to be proactive in opening your mind to new, innovative ideas when they emerge or else they could go unremembered, leaving you to repeat this cycle. Your mind is your money superpower when it comes to your desires and the only way to access this reality is to release anything that’s no longer living up to your needs or expectations. “I invite peace to be a part of my life, and I make time to experience my own inner stillness daily. I continually develop an inner sense of calm and I trust that everything will be right.” Your peace is the compass, your mind is the navigation, and your desire is a location. What makes you feel like you’re living in your truth? Are your relationships in alignment with who you are at this moment? What masks are you still wearing that make you feel loved, secure, or significant?
