In this seasonal blog post, the intention for this autumn season is about confidently taking action towards achieving your dreams. The card reading provides guidance and encouragement, inviting you to take bold action and pursue your dreams while remaining rational and focused. It also encourages releasing worries, shifting perspective, and embracing self-care, compassion, and nurturing moments. You're invited to write down the intention, saying it affirmatively, visualizing its fulfillment, and practicing Yoga Nidra meditation to support its manifestation. This blog post also offers a detailed card reading and prompts for contemplation.
This month's intention is all about having the freedom to express yourself authentically, letting go of outdated rules and embracing the joy of being your true, fabulous self. Take a step back, evaluate your commitments, and make time for self-care and activities that bring you joy. Step out of the shadows and let your light shine brightly, inspiring others along the way. Follow your passions with enthusiasm and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal fulfillment. Find a balance between responsibilities and self-care, and embrace the Empress within you, recognizing your own worthiness and the abundance already present in your life. Release any obstacles and welcome limitless possibilities!
This month's intention is all about diligence, taking action towards your desires, letting go of what no longer serves you, and focusing on what you want to attract into your life. You are encouraged to prioritize what is important to you and to reflect on how you are working towards your own desires. You're invited to take inspired action and follow your passions. You may also want to take inventory and see if you need to let go of something that is holding you back. Finally, you're being reminded to focus on what you want and believe that your wishes can come true. Reflecting on these questions can help guide you on your journey: What are you diligently working towards? Is there something you are ready to walk away from? What lights you up inside? If you could wish upon a star, what would you wish for?
Read more...Welcome to my monthly blog post where I create a simple intention based on a monthly card reading! If this intention resonates with you, feel free to use it as a focus for this month (or however long feels right for you)!
If you're feeling called to speak your truth about something, now is the time to muster up the courage to do so! Don't allow fear of being judged or not accepted so you can be your authentic self and shine brightly.
Read below for the full card reading and take what feels good for you and leave the rest. Messages are meant to find you in the most peculiar ways when you're willing to notice and listen ;)
Some things to keep in mind when using an intention:
- Write it down and put it where you can see it regularly (bathroom mirror, desk, beside table, wallet, etc).
- Say it several times a day clearly affirming it - you can stand in a power pose (like running across the finish line), hands on hips (like Wonder Woman), placing your hands on your heart, or even doing a little dance. Whatever makes you feel like this intention is possible when you say it, then do that!
- Visualize for just a few minutes each day your intention as if it has already come true.
- Practice your favourite Yoga Nidra meditation that allows you to state your intention during the practice. When the mind and body are relaxed, your mind is much more susceptible to suggestions, so this can help make this intention become true for you even quicker than by doing it on a conscious level alone.

Intention Setting Reading
1st Card - TRUTH BE TOLD (14)
This card is inviting you to speak your truth. Are you hiding behind a mask because you're afraid to communicate in an honest and compassionate way? Sometimes you can wear a mask because you may live and act in a way that you think other's want you to be and not in a way that is authentic to your true nature. You may also hide behind a mask because you may hold beliefs about yourself that are untrue, but you believe them to be true. How can you peel back the layers that keep you from being your true self (which is pure love and joy). How can you communicate this is in an authentic way? Maybe there is something that you've been wanting to do, but you're too afraid to make that known to others? If that is the case, now is the time to speak this truth and take a step towards that desire!
2nd Card - QUEEN OF SWORDS
The Queen of Swords is here to validate speaking your truth. She is a mighty, courageous and wise Queen who is known for speaking the truth!! I'm telling you, I can't make this stuff up - these cards have a way of validating truths and hidden beliefs and this is no exception! The Queen of Swords has a way of seeing things from a higher perspective because she's been through a lot and she is wise and experienced. Because of this though, she may come across as cold or sharp tongued. So, with this card in the mix, while it's important to speak your truth in an honest way, do it in a way that is compassionate and not hurtful to others. Some may think that in order to be "real" and authentic, it has to be done in an aggressive way, but that's just not the case. Be yourself, and speak what is important to you, but bring compassion into the conversation and see how beautifully it gets received. You may also be afraid to speak this truth, but take courage from this Queen as she's here to support you! She knows you are fierce and flawless! Love and accept who you are - in this vibration, it will be effortless to express your vision and articulate your thoughts.
3rd Card - THREE OF PENTACLES
The Three of Pentacles is a card of co-operation and synergy! It's a time for starting a new project in communion with others who share your passion. If you're wanting to start something new, perhaps joining a group of the same interest is calling you now. If you're currently working in a group, maybe now is the time to speak up and share your ideas in a way that is helpful and positive. Everyone works together in partnership and harmony with the Three of Pentacles, so this may be something that is missing in your world right now. This could even pertain to family dynamics. Maybe you can plan something fun with your family or group of friends where everyone shares their ideas of what to do (including you). Whatever it may be, you're being called to work as a team at this time which may involve something you are wanting to do, but haven't spoke up about just yet.....
4th Card - 10 OF CUPS
I love this card! It speaks of peace, harmony and joy! This card is a reminder to enjoy the present moment and to count your blessings! Really take note of the beauty in every single moment. Too often you may miss perfect opportunities for joy and happiness because you're regretting something from the past or worrying about the future. Maybe you're missing out because you're worried about speaking what it is that you are wanting to do or wanting to say? Even though we may worry about things, don't allow these thoughts to occupy your mind. Don't waste these moments where you can experience pure joy and bliss (especially when you're with those you love)!! If you don't pay attention to a rainbow, you'll complete miss it. This is inviting you to stop and look at the rainbow and to give thanks for the beauty that the world around you brings!
questions you can contemplate: 🤔
- What truth are you not speaking?
- How can you honestly articulate your thoughts and express your vision?
- What new project or activity have you been thinking about starting lately?
- Write down a list of 10 things you are grateful for - or keep going if there are more than 10 things ;)

Welcome to my monthly blog post where I create a simple intention based on a monthly card reading! If this intention resonates with you, feel free to use it as a focus for this month (or however long feels right for you)!
The cards that I pulled for this month's reading really spoke to me in a profound way. When we are called to start something new, it can be scary to take that first step. We try to imagine the entire journey and prepare for every obstacle that may pop up. This can prevent us from moving forward and staying stuck is sometimes more difficult than venturing ahead. I know personally I need this intention in my life now and if it speaks to you, I hope you've been inspired in some way to begin a new path.

Intention Setting Reading
1st Card - new beginnings (27)
You are being invited to open up to new beginnings that await you! If you are feeling called to take that first step, you're being supported on this journey. Sometimes we lack the confidence to venture ahead because we fear the unknown. This is perfectly natural. But if we always stay in our "comfort zone" we can miss out on bright new beginnings that are just waiting to be seized.
2nd Card - reflection
I find it very curious to see this card of reflection that is part of this monthly intention of embracing new beginnings. This card is calling you to see this new beginning from a different perspective in a time of intentional pause. So, on one hand you're being invited to embrace a new beginning, and on the other hand, you're being invited to surrender and pause.....I love the introspection that this brings. New beginnings can encompass a new way of thinking. Perhaps this new beginning is seeing this situation from a different perspective and becoming aware of what is lifting you up, and what is dragging you down. Healing an emotional wound may be the start of a new beginning and taking time for self-care and reflection is key now.
3rd Card - 5 of water
The 5 of water brings a message of taking the time needed to heal an emotional wound that may be present. When we experience grief, loss, disappointment or pain, sometimes we rush through the process and we don't devote the time and energy to allowing the emotions to be present so we can heal and move forward. Again, an interesting card when we look at embracing new beginnings. Please know that healing these tender wounds can take time, and if you're experiencing these emotions, please seek help and support in this process. This is also an invitation to see what is still remaining. Often in times of emotional discomfort, we lose sight of what we can learn or gain through this process and know that brighter times are just ahead. Take inventory of what brings you joy and what can inspire you through this healing process. Self-love, acceptance and compassion will be of great service to you on this path.
4th Card - balance
The balance cards brings a message of......you got it......balance! Where in your life can you create a sense of balance, harmony and middle ground? Sometimes we see things in extremes and take an all or nothing attitude. That rarely works, and if it does, we can't stay in that zone for too long. How can you bring opposing forces together to stay in harmony and take small steps towards growth? This card ties in so perfectly in the lens of embracing new beginnings. We don't have to go all in and leave everything else behind when starting a new journey. We can take one small step, and then the next step will present itself. All is takes is a willingness to move forward and create an opportunity for growth. Take the middle road and see where this new beginning takes you! Lead in love, embrace courage and compassion.
JUMPER CARD - 2 of earth
Ok, so what's a jumper card? It's when a card pops out of the deck (usually face up) when I'm shuffling for a reading. This card wanted to make an appearance as part of this reading, so I've included it here and it's a magical pairing.
The 2 of Earth is another card that holds a message of balance. So, we can see that it's a strong theme in this month's reading. Normally I will read this card in the perspective of how can you bring more balance into your life, but I'm seeing in this particular reading, that the balance lies in the healing process on this journey. This reading is bringing awareness to the idea of embracing new beginnings, but it's also asking us to reflect, take time to heal, and take baby steps. How can we balance all of these situations and move forward at the same time? Fear keeps us stuck and afraid to move ahead. Sometimes we feel that we cannot move forward until we have completely healed and have it all figured out. So, with this message I see it as a compassionate nudge to say it's ok to balance fear and courage to step ahead. Again, if you are needing support to move along this journey or helping to heal wounds, please give yourself permission to source the support that best suits you. Along the lines of balance is the need to make yourself a priority and balance self-care and priorities to help you on this path. Ensure you include activities that help you rest and heal, but don't forget to have some fun too. Best wishes to you on this bright new journey ahead.
questions you can contemplate: 🤔
- What new beginning is calling you?
- What is one thing you can do to step in the direction of your new beginning?
- How can you see this new beginning from a different perspective?
- Is there an emotional wound that is ready to be healed or to start the healing process?
- How can you take the middle ground as you embark on this new beginning?
- Do you make yourself a priority? If not, what is one thing you can start doing to make yourself a priority?
