The crystals I am working with for the week are Leopard Skin Jasper, Bumblebee Jasper, and Turritella. I use these crystals to connect to the energy, to connect to the message meant for everyone who reads this, and to send you the healing energy of the crystals.

Leopard Skin Jasper – A stone of vitality and strength. It makes it easier for one to take proper responsibility. It is said to bring energies of success in work or business. Helps with creative visualization. Protects you from negativity. This stone helps you to be in the right place at the right time, and being surrounded by people who will be instrumental to your personal growth. Leopard Skin Jasper is known for its healing properties. It will be greatly beneficial to those who are suffering from chronic health conditions. Leopard Skin Jasper is considered the supreme nurturer. It will support and guide you during your times of stress and anxiety. It will bring you peace and serenity, and it will reassure you that everything will be alright.

Bumble Bee Jasper – Clears sacral and solar plexus chakras. Increases manifestation and opportunities. Growth in personal power. Inspiration and creative energy. Try new things and have persistence. A stone of adventure. Quick thinking, decision making, and inner knowing. Enables acceptance of change. Eases stress and worry. Positive disposition. Increases self-esteem. Finding beauty in endings.

Turritella – Deeply connected to the earth and home, to one’s personal roots and ancestry, even the events of one’s past. It is a survival stone, one of strength and protection. Ancient life held within its form lends the power of wisdom and healing. Protects against danger, alleviates fears, and keeps the connection to loved ones at home. Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity. Its warm, protective properties encourage security and self-confidence. Agate stops the burning desires for things we do not need, and assists those juggling commitments or multiple jobs.

Well the first Crystal for me personally, has me in tears. I was sitting with the energy going on now, as we are in the midst of the Lion’s Gate Portal and moving into a beautiful New Moon in Leo on the 8th. For me, the energy feels pretty good.. I don’t feel bad per-say… maybe just a bit of low energy.. and my son has hospital procedures this week in the city, so I will be there with him for a few days. We should be home before the New Moon, which will be nice to be able to relax and enjoy it, once the stress is over with. The Leopard Skin Jasper completely reassured me that everything is ok. We have to be productive and get these things done and take care of business. We have tasks to complete and we are having all kinds of ideas of projects we want to work on, so make sure to take steps to work on that, no matter how small. Progress is progress, and if you put in the work, you will reap the rewards. This is very much inline with the Gaelic festival of Lughnasadh being celebrated today, marking the 1st harvest. Animals are coming in with a lot of energy for this week. This coming New Moon brings in energy of the Lion, these crystals have Leopard, Bumblebee, and Sea Snails! My cards wanted to be nature and animal cards, and a couple days ago, I had a beautiful animal sighting. There is a Blue Heron that lives here, I wasn’t sure if it was a Crane or a Heron, but I’m assuming it’s a Heron. I see him every summer. I hadn’t seen him yet this summer, and I was wondering if I would. Then 2 days ago, I was driving and he flew right over my vehicle. I was amazed! There he was… flying so majestically. Then I turned to look at another bird flying near by, and it was beautiful bald eagle. The Blue Heron represents self-determination and self-reliance. It represents our ability to progress and evolve. The Eagle is our ability to free ourselves. It’s inspiration and pride in who we are. It’s symbolic of our personal power. The animals are going to be guiding us this week, so watch for sightings and see what they could mean for you. Spirit is protecting us, and making sure we are at the right place at the right time. We are going to have many tools and people to help us grow spiritually, which in turn helps us grow in our confidence and abilities. We are healing and the Leopard Skin Jasper is also assisting us with our health and getting back on track. Things might be a bit stressful now, just make sure to take time to relax and heal. If you don’t have time for that now, trust that the time is on the way. We have to get through whatever hurdles and business we have to attend to this week, and then next weekend is going to be beautiful, healing, and restorative. Trust that everything is going to work out just fine, and there is no need to stress. With all this Leo Sun energy, the Bumblee Jasper brings in more joy, happiness, and opportunity. We are opening ourselves up to more! (Make sure to get my MOON MAGIC WORKSHEET to work with the energy of the New Moon!) We are realizing our true, personal power. We have so much inspiration and creative energy to express. Whatever you are feeling inspired to do, get out there and do it! Try new things and don’t give up! We need to learn to take criticism a little better, and use it to improve instead of identifying with it. We are accepting that change is happening… we are transforming along with it. We are increasing our self-esteem and appreciating the beauty of our unique life. Keep a positive attitude and let go of the worry and stress! Have complete faith and trust. The Universe has our back. We are deeply connected to the Earth and everything on it. All of our Ancestors.. all of the animals… all of the plants.. we are one with it everything. You can deny that connection as long as you want, but I promise, when you embrace it, the magic that connection brings makes life so beautiful. Trust in the signs and the guidance you are receiving. I’m guilty of using the term spiritual “gifts”, but I prefer to use the term “abilities” because I do believe we all have the ability to connect to Spirit, and build on what we are capable of. I am no one more special than you. In fact, I am exactly like you. I am you. You are me. We see the same reality. How can you not believe in magic and connection? Everything we have been through has taught us something, and brought us to this point. For that, we should be grateful. We have survived, and we are strong. We can let go of what scares us. We have nothing left to lose… and so, so much to gain. We have to stop focusing on the things that do not matter anymore. We have to prioritize the things that do. Connection to Spirit, to life, and to this Earth, is at the top of that list. Being connected to those we love, that matter to us, is all we really have. We need to take care of each other and focus on each other. Our Ancestors are sending us love and supporting these connections. They are shining on us, and they are proud of the work we have done to connect to them, and to grow ourselves. Let’s see what the cards have to add.

Clear out the clutter of your life. Stop focusing on things that don’t really matter. Invest your focus and energy on positive goals and dreams, on building up your self-confidence. Simplify and declutter your life so you can feel content with what you have. Stop wasting your time and effort on people and things that no longer serve your highest good, and put it towards things that matter to you. This is about letting go of the need to have excess. It’s about letting go of the comparisons we make about others. This is about making your own life beautiful and enjoying it. Let go of excess baggage and lighten the load. We will be provided for, and we need to have faith in that. Let go of the reasons to feel anxious, and replace them with trust. Let go of anything weighing you down. Reclaim your space by letting go of obligations and commitments. Clear out your schedule and free your time. Let go of the “shoulds, oughts, and could-have-beens”. Let other people manage their own baggage. This week is really about finding our own personal freedom. How can we make space, so we can set new intentions and have new energy coming into our life going forward? How can we be more free? How can you express your individuality with pride? This is about making your life reflect who you are now, and who you aspire to be. No more reminders of the past. Feel joyful, empowered, and excited. Let it go and free yourself. Leap forward. Trust you will have to what you need. There is so much promise on the horizon… there is promise for this New Moon coming. Look at how this couple hold each other in complete trust, enjoying the moment and the sunset. They are not worried about the next moment, they are living and loving right now. There is so much promise of things to come, and so many reasons to have faith. This is a time of manifesting new beginnings and opportunities. It’s a time of renewing our energy for the path forward. It is a promise that our desires will come to fruition. This New Moon coming up is incredibly important for setting intentions. We are putting our ideas into action! Look around and see the beauty of your life. Don’t take it for granted. Have joy in the sunset, in the beauty of the sky and nature. The last card is also a card of beginnings! And look at the solar/lunar energy it presents. It’s really a perfect card. So many opportunities are coming her way, and she is watching for them, keeping her eye on the prize. This card is also about letting go of our fears and worries. We can trust and embrace in the new. Flow forward without heaviness and anxiety. New ways of being are calling for you. Do not resist change. We need to allow and flow with it, co-creating with it. The East is new beginnings and fresh starts. It is a place to innovate yourself and find your fortune. It is a place where we are levelling up. What ideas are you sparking now? Time to put some effort towards it, but it is also time to relax and appreciate the fruits of our labour. Find balance, and infuse it with trust and faith. Have a beautiful week!!
