Every Monday I know a lot of us to feel like we are going crazy with work and school starting up. We have so much to do and are rushing to get through our mornings. Then we continue the rush to be on time to were we have to be. We can’t seem to stop and breath sometimes. I’m not saying that these things aren’t important but we need to take a breath, especially on Monday when everyone is rushing around.
Here are some things to try today:
Get a drink of your choice and take a moment to enjoy the taste of it.
Take a walk outside (if the weather is good for it) even if it’s only around the building you work at. Breath in and enjoy yourself.
Give someone you care about a moment of your undivided attention. This won’t just be good for you it would be good for them too.
If you have a candle, light it at just breath while you watch the flame.
Today I am inspired to do a reading from my Susan Sheppard’s Black Moon Astrology Cards (for more information on the actual cards please scroll down). The Spread I am using is the Planetary Spread. Which is a four card spread with a card in the north representing Jupiter, east representing the Moon, south representing Saturn, and west representing the Sun.
Jupiter Position (North): What is working. What to take advantage of.
Moon Position (East): What is hidden from you. What you do not have knowledge of yet.
Saturn Position(South): What is earned. Work that needs to be put in.
Sun Position (West): The outcome based on current trends.
What does the Universe need us to know this week?

From this reading, I feel like we are in the midst of Change that things are happening for us all and that it’s a good thing. We can’t quite see some of the endings that are coming to move us through this. Though we need to work on getting past the anger or fear that is holding us back. For we are heading to a better place for ourselves.
This may be hard to look at if you're reading this. As if you read everything the cards could mean it could seem ominous. But that isn’t what I am getting off of this reading at all. We are having some big changes happening and it’s going to raise the vibrations of who we are. It isn’t easy but anything worth changing us is going to take something. We all need a change from time to time.
You are amazing and I hope that this reading has been helpful to you all. Please let me know if it has impacted you in any way. I’d love to hear from you. And check out my website here. I am starting to do Astrology, Divination, Card and Astro Dice Readings. If you would like to have one please check it out. Thanks so much for joining me on Making Monday Magickal.
May your stars shine brightly upon you.
