Hello and welcome to this tarot and oracle collective reading.

This is a deep dive reading where we will have several different card decks and we will get into more detail about what collective energies are around us right now.

My name is Simone and I will be your guide through this reading.

Today we're starting with a couple of different decks.

The Angels and Ancestors deck,

The Sacred Cycles deck,

And as well as a couple of tarot cards.

The guiding deck for this reading is the Sacred Cycles Oracle and so yeah let's begin with the reading.

The first card that comes up is number 48,

Pleasure,

And the little saying that goes with this card is,

Pleasure is my birthright.

It reminds us that our physical bodies are full of nerves that network and that our bodies are designed for the purpose of pleasure and to feel and experience true bliss within our sacred body.

This card reminds us that it's okay to claim that pleasure and to experience it in big ways or small ways.

You can start by looking in small spaces within your life to increase your joy as you figure out what makes your body and your mind and your heart and your soul filled with delight and excited for the next day to dawn.

Keep an eye out for signs that may come up for you on this journey as well.

Joy brings more joy into your life because it is unmistakably magnetic so bring your attention to the ways in which you experience joy and can bring more joy into your life.

Remember that there is sometimes a lot of shame associated with pleasure.

This is true of many different places in our society.

However,

For us now we are being called to release the connection between feeling pleasure and the shame around that we are made to experience pleasure.

That's how our bodies were created.

Life can be pleasurable and often should be pleasurable in more ways than we allow ourselves because of that fear and shame around pleasure.

The card reminds us that perhaps we haven't even experienced the depth of our own pleasure and to give ourselves permission to move a little bit further into our pleasurable states and that the more we experience the better.

The question here today that this card brings up for us is,

Is there something stopping me from feeling and experiencing more and more pleasure in my life?

So that will be guiding our reading for today.

The next card that we have coming up is from the Angels and Ancestors Oracle guidebook,

Death,

And that is the arrow card.

This card is asking us to surround ourselves with protective energy.

It's telling us to surround ourselves with positive people,

Experiences,

And environments that can make you feel safe.

I think we found the key to our reading already and I'm very excited for this.

Pleasure can really only be experienced in moments of safety.

That is,

If we don't feel safe our bodies will not be able to relax in order to feel pleasure.

So we can connect with our spirit guides and our spirit team to help us to find situations and people and circumstances and jobs and moments that make us feel safe so that we can begin to connect the experience of pleasure with the experience of safety.

Remember,

Pleasure can be all kinds of things and when we are feeling safe we can begin to explore what kinds of things that bring us pleasure like a gentle breeze or a hug from our children or the sunlight on our faces or even sexual pleasure as well.

The arrow is a symbol of protection and it's a symbol of defense.

It reminds us that we have the necessity to protect ourselves from certain situations and from certain people and protect what's important to us as well.

Not everybody is going to treat you with the same level of pure intentions that you treat yourself so it's very important that you protect yourself.

People may not intentionally be trying to hurt you but they may because that's just what they're doing.

That's just their path and sometimes the things that other people do hurt us.

Carelessness may be one of the main ways that people hurt us without even meaning to.

So this card reminds us that there's energies around us that could be trying to lower our vibrations and that is important to protect the joy and pleasure that you seek to experience out of life.

This card is also a reminder that if sometimes you're in a situation where things seem a little muddled or like not above board,

You should really trust that instinct.

There may be energies around you or in a current situation you're going through that may not be of the highest good for you and so it's important to follow that intuition and that gut feeling and either get rid of those things or really be able to set boundaries about how and when you're going to communicate or work with those energies.

If you can take time to retreat or step out or step away from those situations to figure out if it's actually going to be a beneficial situation for you then you might want to do that.

If you can't then just remember that you can call on the energy of protection at any time through your guides and through your own heart and your own mind as well.

Find yourself in a place that calls upon safety and experience that safety so that you can experience the pleasure that life has to offer for you.

In addition to these two oracle cards we've also pulled three tarot cards today for our collective reading.

The first card that we drew is the tower card in reverse.

The tower card in tarot symbolism talks about sudden changes,

You know,

Revelations or releasing energies,

Maybe falling down or crashing or getting into some sort of situation.

However this card is in its reverse position.

There may be or may have been in the in the recent past or sort of happening right now or in the very near future a little bit of like a shake-up.

Things are changing a little bit and it's gonna be a sudden change or it has been a sudden change,

You know,

From one state to another.

There also may be a sense of really like big emotions around things right now,

You know,

Having like emotional,

Not being able to control your emotions in a way.

Erupting in anger may be a sign of what you've been going through or recently right now or in the in the near future.

Or being humbled,

You know,

When maybe there's a downturn in fortune or a burst of knowledge like you may have suddenly understood how something works or how something is changing in your life.

As this is a collective reading,

Take what resonates and leave the rest behind.

Remember that.

Another thing to remember is that anger comes from a place of feeling like things are out of control and very much very often comes from a place of fear.

So with the reminder of the arrow card and the pleasure card,

This tells us that wherever we're feeling scared is where we're not feeling safe.

Wherever we're feeling anger is where we're not feeling safe.

It all equates to the same thing.

So there may have been some sudden changes in your life and you may have been knocked a little bit off balance.

Things aren't quite feeling as safe as they may have once.

The tower card recognizes that for us and says that,

You know,

That change did happen and you may be feeling quite angry or quite off balance.

You may feel like you've been humbled in a way.

This card reading is then followed up by the Ace of Pentacles and the Five of Pentacles,

Which are two cards that are connected very clearly to career and or physicality.

So it could be your physical body or your finances right now.

And the Ace of Pentacles has come in in reverse.

Now usually this is a card that shows us new beginnings and excitement and and trust with money,

But right now what we're experiencing and this is just a transitory phase,

Keep that in mind,

But right now what we might be experiencing as we're listening to this reading is a sense of the fact that maybe you lost faith a little bit.

You're not quite as clear as,

You know,

Where money is coming in.

The opportunities that you saw maybe they're fading a little bit or they just don't seem as reliable as they had in the past and,

You know,

The chances to make money maybe seem a little bit lower right now and the climate of really having a lot of money and feeling abundant with your time and money,

It could be ending as well as sort of like being able to spend a little bit of extra money might be fading.

Remember this is a transitory experience.

This may not and will not last forever.

And of course this could be talking about your house or your physical body.

It's almost like things are retreating in a way.

And remember that this ebb and flow is very much part of life and very much part of our experience.

The cards are calling you to get back to a sense of safety around money,

Which you may be doing anyway,

Naturally,

But that you would like to sort of prepare for winter in a sense.

You know,

You want to be saving your money a little bit or working a little bit more or really getting back to a sense of the grind,

So to speak,

In order to bring your energy back to a space of safety and a willingness to experience pleasure.

Yeah,

The five of pentacles,

Which is the third card in this reading,

Brings us the same message really as the ace of pentacles in reverse.

It's talking about,

You know,

Experiencing a little bit of difficulty,

A little bit of ill health maybe,

Maybe some rejection,

Or maybe not as many opportunities as you had expected.

Definitely difficulty around the physical body or finances.

Maybe,

You know,

Things are,

You're having a little bit harder time making ends meet or you're feeling excluded or alone or something to that effect.

We're lacking support.

I think the tarot cards are really pulling our attention back to those oracle cards in which we find the opportunity to reconnect with this sense of safety.

Our spirit guides and our spirit team are always with us and always supporting us,

And the arrow card really reminds us that they're here to help us and to search out those moments of feeling safe.

And one of the ways we can find those moments of feeling safe is to reconnect with spaces that feel safe,

Yes,

But also reconnect with the guides who can help us to truly reconnect with our safe spaces.

Because it is within that safety handing over some of that power to our guides and saying,

Hey,

How can you help me?

Because I know you're there and I know I can connect with you at any time,

So where can you help me feel safe so that I can regain that sense of pleasure that is my human birthright,

As well as that sense of safety?

How can you help me feel a little bit more safe?

My inclination with this reading is to bring this back to the physical body,

To the physical spaces,

To career or to money.

That's really what these pentacle cards are telling us.

So around those spaces in your life,

Where can you bring yourself back to that little bit of safety so that you can experience that little bit of pleasure as well that life has to offer?

Thank you so much for listening to this collective reading.

Remember to take what resonated with you and freely leave the rest since these are collective readings.

They're not personal and are meant to reach many people.

That being said,

If you didn't really resonate or if you would like to just at any rate listen to more of these readings,

There's a ton on my profile and I'm always putting more messages out there,

So feel free to listen to those and to experience those fully on my profile.

And also,

Thank you so much for being in this space.

There are courses and meditations on my profile that are also to help you to connect with your spirit guide team if through this reading you have been called to do so.

Thank you so much.

My name is Simone and I will see you in the next reading.

Have a wonderful day.
