Today we will be doing a 3-card oracle card reading, using Colette Baron-Reid's "The Enchanted Map" card deck.
Before I do any reading, I always pray. This is Spirit's work, not mine, so I ask for guidance, that Spirit will show me what I cannot see, confirm what I know, and help me that I may serve the highest good of all!
Then I determine the subject and type of reading. Today we'll be doing a 3-card reading and each card that is picked has a particular purpose or intention. For today, the first card is our theme; the second card is about action and the third card is possible outcome. And the reading is just for today, a 24 hour period. Remember, the cards are prescriptive, not predictive. This is not fortune telling. We always have the opportunity to freely choose and change any direction in which we may be headed, and we do this with Spirit's guidance.
So to determine our theme, I prayed and asked...
What message does "The Enchanted Map" have for us today that will serve our highest good?
and was gifted with...
#42 Wide Open
which is about "You are free to express your uniqueness to the world and share in all the bounty of life's endless possibilities."
The guide book says, "All manner of opportunities are presented to you at this time. The Wide Open card is a signal that you're able to truly manifest your dreams and that your goals are in sight. Don't remain small and contracted. Instead, expand your horizons beyond what you believe to be your limitations. You have a unique voice that needs to be expressed in the world. The universe is supportive of new ideas and approaches at this time, so speak up and speak out.
This card is the sign of the maverick who freely roams the wide-open space of possibility. Allow for a greater vision to replace old ideas as you dream a grander dream."
This is so interesting for me. This past week I've been following the 2018 World Tapping Summit online. Wonderful speakers, presentations, and meditations. I've been following Nick and Jessica Ortner for years, but never felt comfortable doing tapping. I thought it looked strange and decided it wasn't for me. Until this past week. This year was their 10th anniversary of the World Summit. The topics and speakers spoke to my heart and I was open to the meditations and practicing tapping this year.
Definitely Spirit is supporting new ideas and approaches for me at this time. Very curious!
Now, since I chose your first card (for a 3-card reading) and have picked the theme for all of us, I'll give you your action and possible outcome questions, and you can choose the next 2 cards for yourself, so the reading will be personal and specific for you.
Go to Colette Baron-Reid's website at www.colettebaronreid.com and click on "The Daily Oracle Card Pick". If you're watching this on Facebook, I'll put a link to the website along with 2 questions in the description above this video. Or if you have Colette's physical deck, you can use that too.
Once you have clicked on "The Daily Oracle Card Pick", ask, "What do I need to do to expand my horizons beyond what I believe to be my limitations?"
Then click on "The Enchanted Map" and choose a card. The meaning of the card will appear in a description just below the image of the card.
Then ask, "What may be the possible outcome as I allow for a greater vision to replace old ideas as I dream a grander dream?" Then choose a second card from "The Enchanted Map" cards that are right above the first card that you picked. The meaning of your second card will appear in a description just below its image.
Remember, this is a 3-card reading and I have already given you your first card. So if you're using Colette's website, don't worry about the position that your card appears in or having to choose a third card.
Please share the two cards that you are gifted with by posting in the comments below this video. I'd love to hear from you!
My personal cards were...
for my action...
#16 Rescue
which tells me, ""You are always safe and secure, and free to be yourself!"
Asking for help isn't easy for many successful people. However, that's what you need to do now as you expand your life. If you find yourself troubled, you can expect help with whatever issue is at hand now. You need only ask, and assistance will come your way.
The most important support you can expect is from Spirit. Get into a right relationship with the Divine and you'll see that many conditions line up as if by magic to provide you with all the help you need. Ask and you will receive. There is no need to fear. Safety is a place within."
and for my possible outcome I was gifted with...
#47 Sacred Pool
which tells me in part, ""The world is a reflection of your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Embody the love you wish to see in the world."
... The Sacred Pool card asks that you focus on self-love and self-esteem. We are all works in progress, so a detached self-examination made with rigorous honesty is called for now.
Reflect by the Sacred Pool and be at peace with yourself. Can you see how far you've come and how magical your life is? Do you notice the spark of the Divine shining through your eyes? When you're conscious that you're the embodiment of Spirit, it becomes easier to respect yourself and act in good conscience...then you'll reap the greatest rewards.
Your unique service to the world is not only needed but celebrated. See the love within you, and know that if you cast it upon the waters, it will return to you tenfold. Be at peace, for you are beautiful and loved. Act with surety and confidence, and success shall be yours - whatever your inquiry."
And so it is.
If you'd like to have a different type of three-card spread position, just go to Colette's website. Click on "The Daily Oracle Card Pick", and ask your question. Choose one of her card decks and pick three cards. For this 3-card spread position, these cards will represent "your card for the day", "what else you need to know", and "where this is going", and the meaning of your cards will appear underneath each card. You only need to ask the one question at the beginning.
As a bonus for today, I went online and picked a card from Colette's newest, soon-to-be-released (March 27), "The Mystical Shaman" Oracle card deck. This deck explores a world of ancient earth wisdom. It's a powerful way to tune into meaningful messages from sacred earth-based symbols, and will guide you to develop your own intuition and get the clarity you need to dream your new story. To see ALL the cards watch the full video or to try the cards out for FREE, you can go to her website:
If you go to Colette's website and choose a card from this deck and the card is in the upright position, read the Essence and the Invitation messages. If you receive the card in the reversed position (which is upside down), read the Essence and the Medicine messages.
If you purchase this deck through Colette's website, you will receive her bonus meditation as a way to deepen your experience with ancient earth symbols.
So, I went to her website, clicked on "The Mystical Shaman" Oracle card deck, and asked...
What do we need to know today for our highest good?

#39 The Owl
THE ESSENCE: Owl is the master of the night. She can see situations with perfect clarity, more so when it is dark, and is able to discern truth when others are sightless. She helps you find your light and your lightness in the darkest moments of your life, and to embrace the night as your ally. Owl can bring you messages from the invisible world. She opens your ears, so that you may hear the voices of the ancestors, and you may acquire their wisdom and make it your own. THE INVITATION: Look around you, notice every detail, and find the hidden messages brought to you by Owl. Do not shoot the messenger; be grateful to the friend who shows you what you have not wanted to see until now. Observe all the facets of the diamond without judgment. Remember that the facets you dislike are often mirrors of the parts of you that you do not want to recognize. Do not be afraid of the truth, as it will become your compass.
Oooo, powerful, and perfect for this time that we are now in.
Astrologically speaking on March 8, Jupiter ... the planet of Luck and Expansion, of joyful energy and adventure, and optimism and abundance ... went retrograde, meaning the perceived ‘backward’ movement of the planet is nothing more than an optical illusion. When a planet goes retrograde, its energy shifts. For Jupiter, the positive, optimistic growth slows. It's a time to reflect and look inward; a time to slow down, meditate, examining our choices, plans and dreams.
Astrologist Mary Bergner writes, "While in Scorpio, Jupiter retrograde is a time to revisit the past and contemplate re-doing the things that you regret doing incorrectly (or not doing at all). With this Jupiter-Scorpio alliance, you can get to the bottom of things and answer a lot of deep, probing questions. Somewhere between when Jupiter entered Scorpio last October and now, you were shown an area ready for change or an issue that’s begging to be resolved, and this is the time to identify it. You might not always like what you uncover (bad habits and addictions often need to be addressed during a Jupiter in Scorpio retrograde cycle), but your problems are much more solvable once they are exposed to the light. And when Jupiter stations and heads direct again in July, you’ll emerge more knowledgeable and ready to do what’s necessary to lead a fuller, happier life."
Fascinating. So this will be a time when Owl can really help us. Owl can bring us the messages from the invisible realm and open our ears to hear the voices of Spirit and our ancestors, so that we can listen to their wisdom and make it our own. We will have plenty of time to explore as Jupiter is in retrograde until July 10.
