The crystals I am working with for the week are Peacock Ore, Pyrite, and Lepidolite. 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.

Peacock Ore – Enhances inner knowing, strengthens perception and helps you trust what you see. It is also a protective stone, good for many kinds of protection, including protection from illness.

Pyrite – Enhances intelligence, mental stability, logic, analysis, creativity, memory, and psychic development. It can help you tap your own latent mental talents and abilities. Pyrite is a powerful protection stone, and is very grounding. Brings energies of good luck or good fortune.

Lepidolite – A stone of calm, trust, and acceptance. It brings hope in dark times by lending a sense of balance and calm. A stone of transformation in that it helps one get through transitions with trust that everything will ultimately turn out for the best. It enhances self-love, patience, and optimism. Used for dreamwork and rebirth. It softens the impact of these experiences so they can be easily received. Lepidolite is also a protective stone that brings success in business or career. Emotionally, lepidolite is one of the best healers. It decreases stress, anxiety, depression, manic-depression, despondency, PTSD, anger, other traumas, panic attacks, and addictions.

These crystals are beautiful and earthy. We are being reminded to trust our intuition and our inner knowing. It’s so easy to second guess ourselves with the way society conditions us. You are being protected by Spirit now so that you can move forward instead of always being bombarded with distractions. We are in a period of transformation now, not only spiritually, but physically and mentally too. Use your logic and knowing to guide you towards healthy changes you know you need to make. The better you take care of yourself, the better your health is going to be all around. We are smart enough to overcome the challenges that seem to be in front of us. We are intelligent enough to know what media we should consume and what we shouldn’t. Use your intelligence. Create something. Write a poem or a song. Make a business plan. Tap into your creative potential and the abilities you hold! There are so many signs of success in these crystals and in the astrology now, so anything that you are setting your mind and heart to has a great chance of success. We can’t expect things to happen overnight. We have to put the work in and have patience. Know that the challenges you are experiencing will not only be overcome, but they will help you grow as a person. Things are going to turn out for the best, so keep up your optimism! Be ready and expecting that abundance to start pouring in. We are being reborn and healing from all kinds of trauma that has been holding us back from our full potential. Don’t hold yourself back anymore. Transcend the pain of the past, and use it as a fuel for the future. You can heal and grow. I know people look at spirituality and brush it off, but spiritual techniques exist for a reason… because they work. Don’t ask me how, I can’t explain it most days, and I still find myself hypocritical more than I should be for someone who does this work. Spirit is softening our experiences, so we can receive them lovingly, without inducing fear. Spiritual experiences are truly beautiful and life-changing. Embrace them. You can overcome what you’ve been through, and spiritual tools can truly help. Make sure you are writing down your dreams and ideas! Let’s see what the cards say!

The first card, the Four of Summer, is showing us where we’ve been, and how we’ve been feeling. We’ve been letting the world get us down and failing to see the magic or the opportunities! We take our lives for granted, always hoping for more than we have. We take love for granted, always wanting something new. We have been looking all around us for this happiness that the universe is supposed to bless us with. Is she not blessed? She is dressed in beautiful garments, surrounded by art and flowers and nature. Life looks pretty abundant, but she cannot see it from her point of view. No matter what we have, we tend to put on our blinders and keep looking. Maybe the secret is to be content with your life and what you have. To be grateful and open your eyes to the beauty around you. To know that happiness comes from within, and that even with nothing, there is always magic and beauty. Stop taking your life for granted. Stop filling yourself up with the energy of negative people. Stop watching the fear-mongering news. Instead, commit to your spiritual growth from within and create your own beauty and happiness. Find a mentor who you would love to be like, and start taking lessons and inspiration. There are so many opportunities swirling… we just need to pin our ideas down and take action steps. The Hermit is actually the Tarot Card for this coming Full Moon in Virgo, and the Star of David was also on my Moon Magic Worksheet. Imagine the Star of David as a 3D object, and imagine yourself sitting inside of it, in beautiful energetic protection. The Hermit is a spiritually enlightened person. They know the journey is theirs, and theirs alone. She does not fear, but faces it with grace, light, and beauty, offering her magic and her medicines. We must keep going on our path. We must finish what we’ve started and see where that can take us. We can’t let society pull us away from our spiritual beliefs. We don’t have to keep running at a crazy hectic pace. We don’t have to be rich or wealthy. We don’t need much of what society tells us we do. Simplify your life. Appreciate your loved ones. Cook good food. Spend time in nature. Slow things down a little. If you can quiet your heart and mind, you will hear the messages from Spirit. You will tap into your inner knowing. You do have to allow yourself to be open though. You can have all kinds of excuses based in fear. Question your beliefs as they arise, and see if they are true for you now, or not. We can’t spend our time worrying, or life will pass us by. We will miss all the beauty, being stuck on visions that aren’t meant for us. Spend some time meditating and pay attention to your dreams. You are being delivered messages and guidance. You are never alone. Even when it feels like it… especially when it feels like it. Ask for God to help you illuminate your path to happiness. Shine your light so that others can be inspired and follow in your footsteps. We are all making connections each day, and the more positive those connections are, the more positivity can spread. I know for myself personally, I am really trying to put myself out there, to share my knowledge and experience. It is time for me to step into my power. Connect with Spirit to help guide you and support you. It’s time for you to shake off the mundane feelings you’ve been experiencing and shake things up a bit. Take some time for self care and healing so that you can feel rejuvenated and be able to put your energy back into your work. This is about getting our lives organized so we can handle things that much more efficiently. Complete things you start and get some things checked off the to-do list. Getting things done will help you feel accomplished and will also help you feel rejuvenated! I’ve been checking my to-do list off today and trying to keep up with all the posts I want to do, so I resonate with these cards. It’s gonna feel good to relax tonight! I hope you all have a wonderful week and look forward to the Full Moon on Friday!

These are such perfect cards for the upcoming Full Moon on Friday, March 18th. Make sure to get a MOON MAGIC WORKSHEET for $5 to learn about the moon and work with the energy!
