Being grounded, slowing down, and remaining present in your body is the message that the Greek goddess Gaia has for you right now. Perhaps you’ve spent too much time in your head lately and have not taken as good care of yourself as you would have liked. Get into a rhythm, make sure you get enough sleep, commit to spending more time in nature, and eat sustainably with conscious awareness. Gaia, the earth, mother of all life, invites you to pay attention to your body for you are a creature of the earth as well as spirit. Right now, the Greek goddess of wisdom, Metis says you know exactly what to do in your current circumstances. The real question is: Do you have the courage and commitment to make a wise choice? Your answer is not to hide. You are being invited to look within rather than without, take the wisdom you already have, and apply it to your question. Perhaps, however, you must instead draw forth the humility to find someone wiser to weigh in. The feminine principle of the Universe was deified as a goddess—the Great Goddess—in a system where woman was the creatrix and embodied the principle of Life. The ability to create life was worshipped in a partnership model of society. There is a universal law that centers on unrestrained generosity and flow. Oshun, the benevolent Yoruban river goddess, the representation of nourishment, healing, fertility, and prosperity, reminds you that life herself has given to you freely. You have been offered air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and shelter to sleep in. So it is your task to give freely of yourself, no matter how big or small the act, without expectation of receiving anything in return.

You are a powerful co-creator and so you are responsible and accountable for the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that seed your Field of Dreams. Remember miracles are uncanny evidence that from the invisible world, life springs into form without any reasonable cause for the effect.The Christian goddess Mary, mother of miracles, has come to celebrate with you today. She is here to remind you of all the amazing wonders that are everywhere in your life right now. Look around you especially at all the synchronistic events that have already taken place. Ever since you were born, events and opportunities have come together to support you, guide you, show you love, and present the world as you see it. Look closely and see the hand of the Divine working on your behalf. Wonderful change is afoot in your life when the energy of the Hindu goddess Shakti arises to support you. All your longing, desire, and focus on something better in your life, coupled with your willingness to do the work, has ignited the life force energy of the Great Goddess. She responds now to bring you your heart’s desire. Know that now is the perfect time to move into the highest version of yourself. The goddess Athena is another example of our choice to shift perceptions. Although many Hellenic Greeks were blonde, the reason we chose a blonde for a goddess representing knowledge, intellect, and strategy was to challenge the stereotypical “blonde joke” comments women often make about themselves. “Oh God… I am having another blonde moment!” To reclaim the blonde moment for all women, we have a smarty-pants blonde for our Athena card. Maybe a circumstance in your life is changing, which is exciting and a bit scary, and you are unsure about exactly how to respond.

When you see life as a battleground, you lose sight of a more easeful way to be in the world. Can you stand in the middle of the chaos and allow yourself to center in the quiet hum in the eye of the storm? Let the peace of Freya, the Norse goddess of war, enter your mind. Amid the flurry of battle, she came to collect the fallen and bring them to a place of rest and recuperation. Mama Killa, the Incan goddess of the moon, presides over the power of cycles and seasons. The moon rules the night sky, returning full 13 times in a year. The ancients marked time by the moon to know when to plant, when to harvest, when to store food, and when to celebrate fertility. Right now, you are invited to see what is familiar and decide whether you need to improve on it or leave things as they are. The answer to your inquiry can be found in the timing of things and the cycle you’re in. You can apply the idea of natural cycles to relationships, creative projects, personal growth, and more. If you are honest with yourself, you will see there is no way to control these cycles, only to use the creative energy they offer to help you.The Egyptian goddess Ma’at comes to remind you that if you are willing to do a fearless self-inventory and live authentically, with rigorous honesty, it will lead you to great success in all areas of your life. Being completely transparent with others, although it might at first feel too vulnerable, is exactly what you need to do now. When you do this, you will be flooded with the power to claim and experience a new freedom and a new happiness that will pour over your life like a wild, sweet honey. Experience woven together with knowledge creates a beautiful thing—wisdom. Its parts are entwined like a finely made rope that is so strong it can’t be cut. Wisdom, once earned, becomes an essential part of you. I began to understand how cut off I had been from the Goddess in my own life, how personally wounded by patriarchy I have been (like all the women in my family), and how that denial was keeping me from the deep grief I held about it all.

There is great power in telling the truth and allowing it to lead you to higher ground. It’s only when we refuse to see the reality of a situation that we lose our power to co-create for the highest good.
