Hello from Gwandalan 😊!  I had good intentions to write this last Saturday, but again, I was kidding myself 🤣.  The Sydney Mind Body Spirit Festival was great fun, well attended and the books and oracle decks stand that I ran for Blue Angel Publishing had lots of beautiful decks that were well received.  This week was more sedate and now here we are.  Happily, the 2025 Your Soul Diary is available for pre-order now, so if you’re looking for a diary/journal that allows you to express your creativity and to plan according to the moon phases, your pre-order link will be at the bottom of this email. 

Now, here is your Oracle Post – enjoy!

Let’s get into today’s Oracle Inspiration for you!  Take a minute to centre yourself, take a clearing breath, and ask, ‘which card holds an inspiring message for me?’ – and choose your card from today’s Oracle offering:  Left, Middle, Right, or All Three.  As always, the reveal is further down this post – enjoy!

Sat 26 Oct is a Waning Cresent Moon in Leo ♌.  Leo brings opportunities for showcasing your talents, with the added bonus of receiving feedback on your performance.  The energy of the Waning Crescent Moon is surrender and energy clearing.  This is a good time to cut cords to unhealthy situations to allow them to unfold without further involvement from you.  Ask yourself, how can I let go of control in order to be ready for the next New Moon? How can I rest and recuperate?

Now, are you ready for your messages?……Today’s cards are from the Goddesses, Gods and Guardians Oracle Cards (Sophie Bashford).

Left Card:

Isis – Sacred Contracts:  Rise into your power and purpose.  Heal the mother wound.  Within goddess spirituality Queen Isis is known to hold unique keys to Sacred feminine power, she guards our sacred contracts to the great goddess and she helps us rise above past limitations to fulfill our soul’s deepest role on Earth.  Queen Isis says ‘ it’s time to develop and share your deepest soul gifts.  You’re activating sacred contracts to your divine feminine mission on Earth.  These are spiritual agreements that reside in your consciousness.  When you draw this card, you are expanding beyond all limited ideas of who you are and what you think you can do.  Isis offers a process of healing the relationship with your mother, and this can bring karmic soul healing for your entire lineage, and you’ll feel free to be fully yourself.  Invocation:  I stop playing small and expand beyond all previous limits.

Middle Card:

Inanna – Believe in yourself:  Trust in your dreams and abilities. Let self-doubt fall away.  Inanna’s journey of death and rebirth is the oldest of its kind, preceding Persephone and Jesus by millennia.  Earth mother Inanna ventures through the seven gates of the Underworld and when she meets her angry sister, she remembers her forgotten sacred dream.  Her sister kills her:  a symbolic release of all Inanna’s self-limiting beliefs, and after three days she returns to life as the Queen of Heaven.  Inanna is taking you on a healing journey into the Great Below of your ignored and denied dreams.  There are many riches gleaming within you, journey with Inanna into the Underworld of your self-doubt.  Let go of every belief that says you’re unworthy or incapable, for the suppression of your creative desires can manifest as a chronic malaise – a grey cloud over your head that just won’t shift.  This is because the longing to share your light is part of your sacred contract to the Goddess.  Don’t keep your passion pushed down anymore.  Inanna says ‘I am Queen of both Heaven and Earth, and I will help you bring your dreams into reality.’. Invocation:  I can do it. I am worthy of creating my dreams.

Right Card:

Imhotep – Visionary:  Designing the future. Fusing ancient western with modern methods.  Starting life as a commoner Imhotep became known as ‘the first physician’ and was practicing medicine over 2,000 years before Hippocrates was born.  Without him, modern medicine might not be where it is today.  Here is a clear indication of your visionary gifts.  Your soul’s intention is to create pioneering change through implementing divinely inspired ideas.  You are a visionary, guided by the divine to implement projects that can help, heal and inspire our world.  If you’re passionate about what needs to evolve in your life, then you’re the one who can make a difference.  Imhotep is guiding you step by step.  Take it one day at a time and break the big vision down into manageable chinks.  You can be a trailblazer who fuses ancient wisdom and cutting edge technique.  This is your time to change the world.  Invocation:  My mind is in touch with divine ideas. My visions create a better world.

All three cards:

These three cards have appeared today to encourage you to shed all self-limiting beliefs and start (or continue) on your creative journey.  Trust your dreams are divinely inspired and that you are worthy of creating those dreams. Stop playing small and get on with changing your world.
