The King of Wands is a powerfully assertive card and indicates new opportunities and success is on the horizon for you if you are ready to work hard. This card represents someone who is very inspired to start something new, such as a new business, career or professional path. This could also be related to an upcoming major trip. He’s made the decision to change things up and to work toward unseating the old and assuming a new image. He could also be interested in pursuing a career in politics or another profession where his leadership can shine. He like’s to be in charge and knows what he wants. Whenever he enters a room, he exudes charm, brilliant ideas, enthusiasm, and good humor. He is the type of person that everyone wants to listen to, a powerful motivation speaker, and even perhaps a religious leader. Someone with charisma and passion. His need for adventure, challenges, and the thrill of risk drives him. In a work environment, other colleagues respect because of his ability to turn even the worst situations around. Indeed, many employees will go over and above to ensure that he is satisfied with their performance. The King of Wands might also indicate a wave of financial abundance in the horizon for you. The energy contained within this card suggests that you should boldly pursue any business or creative ideas you have. It can also be associated with a male authoritative figure, such as a commander or arbiter. You could need help resolving a conflict, so search for someone charming (or tap into your own charisma!). Be willing to listen to the advise of people who have more experience than you. The King of Wands is richly decorated in a variety of hues, ranging from traditional yellows, reds, and oranges to beautiful greens and whites. Flames appear to be erupting from the top of his crown. His throne has no arm rests because he doesn’t appear to require them and prefers to be ready to rise at any moment. In one hand, the monarch wields a huge wand/staff, while the other is vacant. His gaze is forward, as if he had noticed something approaching and is ready to act. This active king’s feet have a tiny lizard sitting beside them.
The King differs from Wand court cards in one significant aspect: instead of merely feeling enthusiastic and excited, he motivates others to feel the same way. The King has a strong, forceful presence that is difficult to ignore. When this King enters a room, you know it. A natural born problem-solver, when faced with a difficulty or setback, he likes to take the lead and will always come up with an innovative idea or solution. You can almost see him as a high-roller at a casino, with a lady on each arm, striding in with swagger and confidence, placing his bets and always winning. Share Your Gifts and Inspire Others This card might be urging you to not just be inspired, but also to not be scared to inspire others. On a personal level, you may possess courage and boldness, but when you draw the King of Wands, you are being asked to call upon those powerful traits to be put to good use in the outside world – to use your talents and abilities to positively impact others.

And if so, what steps should you take to start? What King of Wands Means for You Today The King of Wands is here to provide you with courage, boldness and confidence. Importantly, it’s also urging you to use these qualities to improve the lives of others, especially your family. By drawing this card today, your subconscious mind is telling you that you are ready to tackle a specific problem head on that has been impacting you or your loved ones lately. Use your talents to help those in need. When you put your mind to it, you really are an innovative problem solver with a tenacious spirit. You don’t give up easily and The King of Wands is a powerful reminder never to forget that.
“To seek, to stay, and finally, to proclaim. The disciples sought Jesus, then they went with Him and stayed the entire evening with Him. And now, to proclaim. Then, they return and they proclaim. To seek, to stay, to proclaim. Do I seek Jesus? Do I stay with Jesus? Do I have the courage to proclaim Jesus? The disciples’ first encounter with Jesus was such a powerful experience that the two disciples always remembered the time: “it was about the tenth hour” (v. 39). This lets us see the power of that encounter. And their hearts were so full of joy that straight away they felt the need to communicate the gift they had received. Indeed, one of the two, Andrew, hastens to share it with his brother.”
A strory from Garrison Keillor: I did a show in New York a couple weeks ago and at the end I had the audience sing “Silent Night,” the verse about calmness and brightness and also the shepherds and heavenly hosts and then we hummed a verse which, a capella, was so tender and haunting and beautiful, I saw people dabbing at their eyes, but at the same time I knew I was out on a limb, it being New York, there being so many unbelievers in the crowd and –– Hello? It’s New York? The handclapping to “Chanukah O Chanukah” an hour before told you that the Bernsteins and Brusteins and Blooms were in the house, and had they paid $109.50, to attend a Lutheran service? I don’t think so but I’m not going to speak for them.
They all knew the words: this came through clearly. Maybe they were Orthodox Chasidim from Crown Heights but they knew “Silent Night” and you can call it colonial acculturation but it sounded authentic to me and my purpose was only to give them the pleasure of joining a 1500-voice choir, a rare privilege in our fragmented society, wary people edging away from each other, and shouldn’t each of us at least once a year consider the possibility that the Creator of the Universe of galaxies known and unknown billions of light years away should come to this tiny insignificant planet in the form of an infant in order to better understand us mortal beings? It’s beyond our understanding but then so is the Universe. In return, I will consider that maybe the Chasidim are right and I have wasted a great deal of time listening to sermons on the Pauline epistles. I do believe in the Christmas story, that God put his omnipotence on a shelf and became an infant child –– it’s in keeping with Christ telling his disciples, “What you do for the least of these, ye do for me.” I believe, except for the three wise guys. How they snuck in is a mystery. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are not suitable gifts for a newborn. Three wise women would’ve brought something useful and arrived in time to help deliver the infant, make supper, and clean the stable.
Angel Therapy Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue Today is a special message, one that many people need to hear: you are more than your addiction. It may seem like your entire life, or even just part of your life, revolves around some form of addiction, but your angels are telling you that this isn’t for you. At the back of your head, you may be having thoughts that urge you to stop these bad habits, but you seem unable to. Keep in mind that not all addictions look alike! Some can be obvious, but there are many quiet ways addictions express themselves. From compulsive shopping, to romantic obssessions, to eating unhealthy or too much food, to gambling online or offline, to jumping from one bad relationship to another, to self-destructive behaviors like drugs or alcohol getting out of hand, to self-harm. These can all be addictive acts that are draining you and taking away from your life. Your angels are telling you that you are ready to kick these habits! How to get started with recovery? The best place to start, as with anything, is the beginning. What is it that you’re addicted to? Name it, say it out loud, make it the focal point of your thoughts, because you can only fight this once you admit what it is. Your angels are telling you to put aside your denial, fear, and pain and be honest with yourself. Today you are going to hand over the strings that bind you to this addiction. You’re going to start down the path to recovery, and your angels are going to help you do it. Let go of any shame and despair you have associated with this addiction and hand it all over to your angels. Your faith will set you free. The next step is faith and surrender. When you put your trust in your angels and the Divine you are admitting that you can’t do this alone and are asking for and accepting divine guidance for your recovery. You must have faith, both in yourself that you can do this, and in your angels, who will be beside you the entire way. Surrender your fears and addictions and hand it all over to the Divine. Let your spirit feel the freedom that will soon be yours as you release pain, shame, and guilt. Believe that you deserve recovery too. You may not feel it just yet, but your angels are assuring you that you are deserving of recovery. You deserve to have your life back. Your happiness, your time, your health: you are worthy of all of these. But what about those dark thoughts and self-destructive affirmations? Every negative emotion can be transformed when you hand it over to your angels. Release self-hate and hand it over to your angels to purify and turn into self-love. Release your shame and allow it to become will-power to fight back against the cravings and bad habits you’ve formed. No more berating yourself about your addiction, no more telling yourself that you deserve this. Your angels are beside you, whispering words of healing in your ear, you just have to listen for them. When you start to feel that familiar despair well up in you, instead of turning to your addiction, turn to your angels and ask for guidance in your recovery. You don’t have to do any of this alone. You are strong. You can do this. And when it feels like you can’t, remember that your angels are right beside you, helping you to cope. Every time you feel a craving coming on, ask your angels to help it pass. When you feel that you can’t resist any longer, ask your angels to fill the gap in your life with self-love and peace. You are worthy and you are not alone, so don’t ever hesitate to reach out to your angels and the Divine!
“I hear every time you ask for help and I respond. Remember that the help that comes might not be what you asked for but the help always comes in the form that’s for your highest good.

Lunar Aquarius Instead of looking at your Star/Zodiac Sign, this Lunar Horoscope reveals the guidance of your Aquarius Moon Sign. Not your Moon Sign? Click here. This week, Lunar Aquarius, your mind is buzzing with questions. As one of the most introspective and curious of the Moon Signs, you are often someone who always questions your surroundings. Your connection to otherworldly realms, even different states of consciousness has always meant that you are more questioning than your peers. This week, that energy seems to be in overdrive. There is a situation or event in your life that has confused you, the right way forward doesn’t seem to be so clear. You have been going back and forth over which choice to make. But whatever it is that you don’t fully understand, know that soon the answer will reveal itself. There is another important astrological event this week: a sensitive Full Moon in Virgo shines on February 27th bringing with it a feeling of wholeness and safety, and allowing us to tap into the quieter wisdom so connected to this sign. This moon is incredibly grounding, helping us to get in touch with ourselves, both on a physical and spiritual level. As we have finished working with last months intensely Aquarian energy, which is very intellectual and word based, now it is time for you to connect with the Virgo energy of the Goddess. This energy is tied to the rhythms of the land and connects between our spiritual and physical identity. It is sensitive and healing, but also connected to our sense of faith and intuition. You may find yourself reflecting more this week, or re-engaging with your spiritual, religious or faith-based dimensions which make up an important aspect of who you are. There is a slow, deliberateness to this lunation. As if it knows that it’s potent energy will do the work of healing and introspection whether or not you are ready to accept it. This moon is also very fertile, indicating that your creativity will be enhanced during this time. It is critical that you take this opportunity to explore any creative impulses that bubble to the service. Feel this creativity flow through your body, connect with it and in nature. Spending time outside, especially in the forest will be extra potent for you. As we move into Pisces season this Full Moon is opposing a Pisces Sun creating a Pisces-Virgo axis that is one of the most energetically powerful axises you can work with. This moon really wants you to look deep within, to find that quieter wisdom. One connected to thought rather than word. It is a deeper knower, one that challenges us in ways we don’t realize until we have experienced it. Understand where you are now, what experiences in the last year have defined you and spurred growth, and allow yourself to heal from that as you look to the future. Your Birth Numbers Reading:

like my mentor, my calling changed from medical intuitive to healer:
Entering the castle by Caroline Myss “I believe that the divine is everywhere and exists within even the most intimate details of our lives. All that we experience today has its purpose in tomorrow’s events; sometimes, the purpose is not evident for years of tomorrows. Yet, God prepares you for your spiritual journey, no matter how complicated, painful, or demanding it might become. For this reason, patience, trust, and faith must become constants for you; you cannot, and indeed you must not, even attempt to believe you know what is best for you. The divine will reveal its plan for you; you have to be open to receive it. … It takes great courage to get to know your soul. This is because, once you do come to know it-and engage its power and live according to its authority-the divine itself will come to call. Once you are conscious of your soul, you are likely to be ‘called.’ Facing that call also requires courage because it can take you to both intensely light and intensely dark places.”
jeanne, this critical message is brought to you by The Number Seven!
