Full Super Blood Moon Eclipse – May 26th
The Full Super Blood Moon Eclipse arrived today, May 26, at 7:14 a.m. EDT.
This moon is a supermoon – the largest and brightest of 2021 – in Sagittarius, calling in truth and loud voices. We also had a lunar eclipse today.
Yes, there’s a lot going on.
I chose to use earthy elements to keep us grounded in the midst of all this energy. Salt, holy (full moon) water, cedar and sage for cleansing, and sand.
The candles did some funky stuff, which was cool to watch. One actually melted midpoint, fell over into another dish, and relit itself from the other end. Talk about resilience.
For tonight’s reading, a chose a four-card reading to show us:
1 – What is being revealed (left)
2 – What to release (top)
3 – Where or how to transform or evolve (right)
4 – The last card is a message from the Blood Moon Eclipse (bottom)
1 – What is being revealed (left) – 7 of Swords – Betrayal, deception, getting away with something, acting strategically
Traditionally, the Seven of Swords indicates theft, betrayal, deception and trickery. You may be trying to get away with something and are sneaking around behind other people’s backs, hoping to go undetected.
Alternatively, you may be the victim of someone else’s betrayal. Others are not being candid with you, and you may be unaware of their lies and deception. You may trust someone who then turns out to be running their own agenda, leaving you high and dry. Watch for any sneaky behavior and listen to your intuition when something does not feel right.
On a more positive note, the Seven of Swords points out that you need to be strategic in what you do. You know you cannot do everything at once – nor should you. Instead, you must prioritize what’s important to you and direct your focus and attention on the few tasks that will move you closer to your goals. It’s the 80-20 rule: 20% of your work will account for 80% of your results. So focus on the 20%.
You may be able to accept some responsibilities or duties, but not all of them. Or you may say ‘yes’ to some projects at the expense of others.
The Seven of Swords also suggests that you may need to use shortcuts or the ‘backdoor’ to get what you want. Rather than dutifully following the process, you may need to find ways to resolve your problem quickly so you can move toward your goals.
At times, the Seven of Swords suggests you may need to put yourself first to get what you want, even if it means letting others down or putting others off-side. Here’s the thing: you can’t be everything to everyone, and sometimes you need to put your own needs first, even if others may not agree with you or understand where you are coming from.
The Seven of Swords could also imply that you are trying to escape from a situation that is not working for you anymore rather than dealing with it head-on. You may attempt to run away from commitment, responsibility, hard work or love. You may procrastinate, letting problems slip and become worse because you do not want to deal with them. Sometimes you just have to face what has to be faced.
2 – What to release (top) – 2 of Cups – Unified love, partnership, mutual attraction
The Two of Cups is the flow of love between two people. With this card, you are creating deep connections and partnerships, based on shared values, compassion, and unconditional love. While these relationships are still in the early stages, they have the potential to grow and develop into something deeply fulfilling and rewarding in the long-term. You have mutual respect and appreciation for one another, and together you reach higher planes of consciousness and understanding.
When the Two of Cups card appears in a reading, you may enter a new partnership, perhaps with a lover, friend or business partner. You are both focused on creating a relationship that is mutually beneficial, one that will create a win-win situation for both parties. You see ‘eye to eye’ and appreciate what each other can bring to the table.
This card, in this position, is asking you to release control or any attempt at controlling the outcome, and to divert your attention where it belongs: On your business and/or career.
3 – Where or how to transform or evolve (right) – The High Priestess – Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminine, the subconscious mind
Be honest: Are you surprised this card came up in this position?
The High Priestess is the guardian of the subconscious mind and the teacher of sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries. The High Priestess has an innate ability to travel between the conscious and subconscious effortlessly. She teaches you that the world is not always as it seems and more profound influences are often at play. She ushers you through the thin veil of awareness, offering you a deep, intuitive understanding of the Universe and a heightened awareness of secret or hidden information.
The High Priestess signifies spiritual enlightenment, inner illumination, divine knowledge and wisdom. She shows up in your readings when the veil between you and the underworld is thin, and you have the opportunity to access the knowledge deep within your soul.
The answers you are seeking will come from within, from your deepest truth and knowing. Allow the High Priestess to become your guide as you venture deep into your subconscious mind and access this inner wisdom. Connect with your intuition and your Higher Self through meditation, visualisation, shamanic journeying, and being part of spiritual communities.
Your intuitive sense right now is providing you with useful information and is assisting you to become more in touch with your subconscious mind. Knowledge of how to fix these issues will not come through thinking and rationalizing, but by tapping into and trusting your intuition.
Finally, the High Priestess is a signal that you are being called to embrace the Divine Feminine – your connection to your intuition, compassion, empathy, and inner wisdom. The presence of the High Priestess signals your sacred feminine needs your attention right now.
Feel, rather than think. Collaborate, rather than compete. Create, rather than destroy. Trust your Divine Feminine energy, even if the masculine energy around you may appear to be stronger. Be proud of your ability to nurture, trust, sense, and empathize instead of hiding it away.
4 – The last card is a message from the Blood Moon Eclipse (bottom) – 8 of Wands – Movement, fast paced change, action, alignment, air travel
The Eight of Wands says the struggles are all but cleared and you have the freedom and space to move forward with your plans. This Eight is a dynamic card, containing a high level of energy that propels you forward to reach your goals at a much faster pace than before. You can expect to be very busy, but this is one of those good busy times, where you are enthusiastic about your progress.
The Eight of Wands encourages you to go with the flow. Don’t resist. Everything is moving fast right now, so make the most of this forward momentum to manifest your goals and dreams. Allow the energy of the Universe to flow through you and propel you closer to your goal.
Trying to slow things down because you’re not ready or you’re fearful about the unknown will just waste this opportunity. Use the energy instead to fuel positive change and produce significant results.
The Eight of Wands also invites you to be laser-focused with your intentions and actions. Determine what you want to manifest and then align all of your resources and energy to focus on that singular goal. Remove all distractions and devote yourself to the task with total concentration, determination and will. This experience can be highly productive, allowing you to accomplish a lot in a short time.
With the Eight of Wands, you can look forward to the rapid completion of a project, but you can also expect to be occupied by something new and even more exciting soon. There is no stopping you right now. You are bursting with energy and ideas.
This card is most definitely an action-oriented card that encourages you to move quickly to pursue the best opportunities available. There is no waiting around while the Eight of Wands is present, so determine where your energy should go and get on with it.
Summary
1 – What is being revealed? Someone else (or you) is trying to take shortcuts to get what they want and it’s not going to work.
2 – What needs to be released? The idea of controlling love or relationships or partnerships. It’s an ego distraction from your real work.
3 – How to transform or evolve right now? Tap into your Divine Feminine wisdom and intuition. This is a very special time to be alive. Those of you who remember the 1980s know what I’m talking about. It’s inconceivable that we could have an era like that, then THIS one in one lifetime.
4 – Your message from the Blood Moon: Move your ass. The time is now. All lights are green. Don’t fuck yourself over by falling into the traps laid out in the first two cards.
