Hello, butterflies, hello, hello. Welcome to Monique's Tarot. How are you, butterflies? To get things started here, let's just burn a bit of Palo Santo, welcome it in the messages from the spiritual guides and also clearing out that energy that no longer serves us. As always, butterflies, thank you all. So so much for your likes. Subscribes.

Thank you to those of you that read via Monique's Tarotcom and read via medium or Quora, wherever you are finding me across the butterfly family. Thank you all so much for entrusting me on your spiritual journey. So I felt called to really bring in just this energy of therapy. I think I might actually call this one Tarot therapy, because there's so much that is happening in the world For those of you listening in that may be affected directly or indirectly, or just in this human-centered collective space that we all share, spiritual beings, if you are being affected by the things that are happening within Gaza between Israel, the Palestinian people. I really hope that you will have this opportunity to heal. There's so much happening with this in a very fast way, in a very turbulent way, and in many ways, there's so much turbulence that it can be a disturbance to those of us that are especially spiritually practiced, and so I hope that you're really taking some time for yourself to heal your body but, most importantly, taking some action, whether that's the donations that you are giving to the people and making sure that they have their basic needs met, especially for those that have lost families and those that have crossed over into the ancestral realm. So just wanted to open that with this energy of grounding, which is also, I felt, called to just say you know what? I think we need some Tarot therapy. I think we need a moment to really come into, to centering ourselves and taking it easy and allowing just the messages to flow without any intention of what they should be or what we should expect across all of the life realms, especially with so much happening across the world With that butterflies.

Speaker 1: 2:52

Let's get into a guided message from the spiritual guides Now to start things off. I actually wanted to open up the energy here with just some loving oracles, just some loving oracles. I feel like there's this surgence of needing to recognize what is this love for humanity, but also love for self. And so we just had a solar eclipse. Make sure you go back and you listen to that reading. If you haven't heard it already or listened to it or watched it already, make sure to go back to that reading. And then we're getting ready in another week here to have a lunar eclipse and I will have a reading specifically around that. But let's just get into this terror therapy here and bring in some loving oracles to start with some messages from the spiritual guides.

Speaker 1: 4:24

So we have this woman here. She is a very it's like a very kind of dark vibrancy about her, this very kind of muddied kind of watercolor to her. So there are these green teals behind her, but there's this sintering kind of on the third eye chakra of a white teardrop. And then she also has this kind of red and pink face, but mainly red, almost as if she's kind of sitting behind the shadows of things and holding things in, like someone who's maybe held the rage in internally, but on the outside it's maybe this calmer demeanor, but it's almost like there's something here that's kind of bubbling up to the surface here, but it's not quite ready to come out.

Speaker 1: 5:13

It reads here you are a beautiful soul. Look within and you will see it. There's a pearl in your heart. Close to your eyes and feel it. The most precious thing is inside you. Calm your mind, meditate and you will feel your soul's infinite spiritual realm. And looking within, you will never go without. Again, it says you are a beautiful soul. Look within and you will see it. There's a pearl in your heart. Close your eyes and feel it. The most precious thing is inside you. Calm your mind, meditate and you will feel your soul's infinite spiritual realm. And looking within, you'll never go without. So yeah, it's like this self soothing that's coming through here as we look at this energy to the collective, the self soothing where this is kind of anger bubbling behind but wanting to come out. But on the outside it appears to be a calm demeanor. It's like this message of allow what needs to come out to come out. Allow what needs to be felt to be heard, not just to hold it in. Let that anger be recognized, of course, in a healthy way, but allow that anger to kind of surface itself and be known, instead of holding this or holding back. So we're bringing a butterfly affirmation and I actually feel called to bring in some animal energies. So we'll actually have some animal energies for our base tarot this week, calling in messages from the spiritual guides.

Speaker 1: 6:56

Yeah, it's interesting that there are these vibrant reds that are coming out, really connecting us to this base root chakra, with the red jasper here. It's like you have these muddied reds here in this very vibrant red. Red always has this alertness to it. But I actually was on a walk this weekend and I had first went to an art gallery and then I went out in nature and between those two spaces there were reds and we both said that there's just this energy of red, where sometimes there's an alert to it, but there's also this calmness that comes with red, like this, recognizing that sometimes to recognize the anger is okay or to recognize the root of what's happening is okay and there's a soothing energy to it. It says here my intuition is strong and clear. I trust the voice within. My intuition is strong and clear. I trust the voice within. Yeah, it's like these two are pointing out that within you there's this need to really feel you know it in recognizing that you'll never go without if you trust that intuition, if you trust that kind of core of yourself, trusting the strength that you actually hold.

Speaker 1: 8:17

Let's bring in one more Oracle here. There's so much Earth energy. Feel called to bring in some Earth energy, some Earth energy. Oracles Call in messages from the spiritual guides for this healing ptero. There's a big message here for the collective of the inner core. So we have here solidity and inner core. You have a woman here that almost has, or there are two women with two faces. There's a darker woman and then there's a woman with a lighter complexion, almost like an African and Asian kind of complexion difference between the two of them. And there's also this beautiful dove that's coming out. Dependents are often. They're like the closing of life. Sometimes you see doves that are lifted off, but they're also an opening for a new beginning, like a continuation of things.

Speaker 1: 9:33

The number here is 18. And so 18 translating to nine. There's some independence that's happening here across the collective, almost like this point of completion but still needing to do that inner work. But there's a high independence and understanding with the number nine and with the solidity and inner core here it's like the guides are calling you to go inward, to unleash what's being held back, to trust that intuition that you do have, but also the duality of this of releasing your mind to a higher calling.

Speaker 1: 10:08

There's a collective energy that's coming with this. Like, as we center ourselves as a collective, we have this opportunity to connect with others, and so what parts of yourself, on your inner core, need to be connected to the larger collective? What are those things in offering that you bring, those gifts and offering that can actually be provided to the collective? There's just this work of inner work that's coming out through this reading that can't be ignored. Okay, powerful energy. Let's just put these to the side for now. We'll come back to these.

Speaker 1: 10:53

Okay, let's get into your base tarot here, butterflies, calling and messages from the spiritual guides for this healing tarot. Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for this healing tarot. We're going to go with these energies that came right out, calling and messages from the spiritual guides for this healing tarot. So, looking at your base tarot, here butterflies within your elevation of spirit. We have the knight of cups reverse. We have judgment upright within your healing. The nine of pentacles reversed within work and business endeavors. The king of pentacles reversed within personal life, and then we also have the six of cups upright within unexpected surprises.

Speaker 1: 12:27

Looking at these, before we get into any clarifiers across the collective, I can see that many of you are starting to shift into this period of recognizing the offerings emotionally that this knight of cups has provided you. So perhaps a particular cancer, scorpio or Pisces of the past, to see the swan here, a swan has a certain clarity about it, a certain ease and flow with it when, being in the water, swans easily move but they also have big wing energy. So this person may be maybe very swab and how they've moved or how they've connected with emotions, but they also have a very big energy about them, with it being the knight of cups. This could be someone that is maybe in a midlife situation where maybe they're in their twenties to thirties, or even someone who you met in your twenties or thirties. I can see that there's a shift that's happening beyond this relationship. So we'll get more insight into what you're elevating from with this person. It's almost as if like there's a reflective energy of in your youth, this is how you emotionally connected, or in your youth this is how you emotionally adapted, but now you're kind of shifting out of that knight of cups energy where maybe there was more fleeting energy not necessarily that king, solid, stable energy that you could rely on. But there's something here about this knight of cups, either with yourself or another person, where there's just a youthfulness about how you emotionally related to that person or to others.

Speaker 1: 14:04

I'm seeing here within your healing that judgment is moving in your favor. I can see that many of you are in a metamorphosis right now of shedding that old skin here with this golden snake coming up and you can see that the old skin is going away and now you're coming into this new shiny skin with the cardinal red here. Cardinals are often a signal for either winter months or sometimes migration after the spring. So some of you could be, as you move into the winter months, finding that you're really coming into yourself here with judgment, with this golden energy. Or you could, as the time gets closer to spring, and be in transformation. Either way, you are shedding some old skin and judgment is going in your favor. So there's a lot of good healing here on your side.

Speaker 1: 14:54

I am seeing with work and business endeavors here that there's a need to just really review your foundations independently With the Nine of Pentacles being reversed. It's showing that you have good fortune within yourself, but to see it reversed is showing that there's a need to really go through and comb everything like where your finances, how are things with your health, and also, is your work maybe interfering with some of those independent things? Do you really have all of your investments lined up the way that you want them lined up? There's an importance here of making sure you do this also before the winter, so that you can really get into this hibernation energy, especially with the bear here. So there's a need here to make sure that you're reviewing things. Maybe where were you last year around the time of hibernation versus where are you now? There's this reflective energy of the past, like what happened in the past and how were you saving then. So we'll see what that means now with some clarifying energy.

Speaker 1: 16:01

I'm seeing within your personal life there's a certain Taurus, virgo or Capricorn with this King of Pentacles, masculine energy that is making an appearance within your psyche. There's something here about how they set their foundation, how you looked at things, how things manifested A lot of good material matters. There's something here about the home. So we'll get into this with the King of Pentacles. It's a big foundational energy and making sure that things are structured, so the feminine, of course, more flow with the Queen of Pentacles. But with the King of Pentacles it's like there's something here within your personal life that really needs to be set or had been shaken in the past. And then I'm also seeing here, with the Six of Cups being upright, within your unexpected surprises, there's going to be a throwback of some kind coming in here. So this could either be family or childhood, the energy actually feeling this energy. It feels very playful. So this could be cousins, family. There's just something here about childhood memories that are coming through. Maybe there are three elders in the family and then maybe a particular set of siblings or family members, or it also could be like there's some type of love that has been there for some time and these memories are coming back in.

Speaker 1: 17:23

So let's see what we are bringing in with some clarifying energy here butterflies. It's interesting with the messages that came through a little bit earlier of like solidity and inner core and then also this energy of kind of this muddied anger. I feel that some across the collective, like you, may be holding back where there were things that really maybe affected you in the past and now they're starting to shift. But there's still like this harbour underbelly of needing to come to terms with yourself, if that makes sense, like there's some things where you need to come to terms with it yourself and really lean on your inner core versus needing someone else to kind of validate it. But I see that many of you are doing that already on your own.

Speaker 1: 18:25

Okay, let's get some clarifying energy in here, calling and clarifying messages for the night of cups reversed within elevation of spirit. So surrounding the night of cups reversed, we have the hermit card reversed, we have the high priestess reversed and then we also have here the six of swords reversed. So there was this period of walking away, particularly with this night of cups, like maybe someone walked away from you. Is the energy that I'm actually getting? This night of cups definitely feels like your energy, so it could have been someone that decided to walk away from you. With this high priestess energy, there's definitely this intuition that you already saw this coming. You kind of knew the situation was getting ready to happen, but it was still. There's certain, a certain disappointment that comes with it. I'm not necessarily getting shocked, but I'm just getting like there was a disappointment that came with it. There's a Virgo here. Either you are a Virgo or some type of Virgo energy around this.

Speaker 1: 19:43

If you're not a Cancer, scorpio or Pisces, where, if not a Virgo, there was some time spent with yourself to really reflect, to really look at, to really understand here? So it's almost like what are those things of the past that you may be overlooked, that the guides are asking you now to really recognize. It's what's coming through this energy like. What was it about this particular Cancer, scorpio or Pisces where they walked away from you and you went against your intuition and that caused you to have more time internally to hermit, to take time with self? What did you learn with that? The guides are wanting you to recognize that so that you can come into this next level and come into this next understanding of who you are. Con and clarifying energy for judgment with healing. Con and clarifying energy with judgment with healing. Wow, these definitely just popped right out. Okay.

Speaker 1: 20:58

So what I'm seeing here with judgment here is the seven of wands, the death card upright with the seven of wands upright, the eight of cups upright and I'm also seeing the six of wands, which is more like to the side than it is upright, so we'll just read it as upright, because the energy but knowing the energy is mixed, so there's a mixed celebration that's happening here, a mixed energy of not everyone is recognizing you for who you are and what you offer. I'm definitely seeing that there may be some defense here. You are transforming into a new part of you, but there's something around you, around possibly needing to defend yourself. And seeing this death card here, I am seeing that there could potentially either be a Scorpio, but the transformation that is happening will maybe cause you to walk away from some people, possibly like six people that are maybe holding arms or holding like an idea of what they expect you to have. But there's also this need of making sure that you are understanding why you are not being celebrated right now with the six of wands being upright. It's a very mixed energy because, with this transformation, it's almost like you're receiving the benefit of the judgment here spiritually, but there is a very present energy of needing to defend why this transformation is happening. But instead of defending it, it's almost like the guys are saying you know what, you're just going to walk away from it. You're just going to step away from it. Don't entertain what's happening, because this mixed celebration could easily make you feel off is what the guys are saying. So make sure that you are in a place where you understand and know yourself, where you're solid within yourself, where you have a really solid inner core and also trust your intuition. If you feel like something's off, it more than likely is, and it looks like it could potentially be. With a group of people here, you know, like with the seven of wands energy, that's normally like you're having to defend some type of like belief, something that you're passionate about, someone that you're passionate about, something that you're creating in some way, or just the willpower of continuing. But I do see that there's something here where, maybe within a relationship, as the transformation has happened, you're saying you know, I think I need to walk away from the situation and go where you are celebrated, here with the six of wands, so that you can be in full celebration as you move into the next step of yourself Calling and clarifying energy for the nine of pentacles reversed within work and business endeavors.

Speaker 1: 24:07

Definitely watch your finances here. Butterflies with the 10 of pentacles. Watch this current energy, watch your finances and also watch how much you're taking on. I do see that many of you are stepping away from taking on so much, but there is something here about making sure that your family is stable with the 10 of pentacles energy. It's a very mixed energy to have the nine of pentacles and the 10 of pentacles reversed, because this is showing that independent choices and family choices are affecting one another. So make sure you're on the same page with other people. Also, make sure that energy that is being used is being used for good here, because with this magician reverse, it's showing that there could be some alchemy within the workplace that is not being properly used. So be mindful of every conversation that you're having. Make sure that you're using all your tools for good, but I am seeing that there's something here about all the tools are not being utilized. So make sure that the finances are outlined, looked at, reviewed so that your personal independence is not affected, as well as what's happening for your family is not affected. But it's good to see that many of you are letting up the burden, but there's still some work that needs to be done. It's almost like don't let up too soon. Here is what the guides are saying Don't let up too soon, but also don't try to take on more than you can handle Now within your personal life.

Speaker 1: 25:49

Here I am seeing the King of Pentacles energy supported by the two of wands. So there could be some plans that you're making here, perhaps with a Leo of the past, and there's something here about a past relationship that's also coming in. There's something here about if you don't have a past relationship that was with a Taurus, virgo or a Capricorn where you were making plans, and potentially with a Leo now. There's something here about the strength of making sure you're both on the same page with your plans. It may be a little bit hard in this conversation that's coming through here, where you don't necessarily want to have the conversation, but you need to have the conversation so you're on the same page with your plans, cause I can see here that with the two of the lovers here, with the two of cups reversed, it's just there's this difference here and what you both actually want. So be mindful here of being patient. Be mindful here of not being too hard on the other person. But with the King of Pentacles here, there's good reason because the stability might not be there, especially for those of you that are looking at your work and family situation. There's more planning that needs to happen within this realm so that you can be on the same page and also feel very stable together. I'm also seeing at the bottom of the deck the nine of cups, so there's definitely some self work emotionally that needs to happen as well, with the nine of cups being reversed.

Speaker 1: 27:31

Okay, calling and clarifying energy for the six of cups reversed within unexpected surprises. There's definitely a lot of Cancer, scorpio, pisces energy. I didn't see the King of cups peek through. What I am seeing here with the six of cups, energy being upright and unexpected surprises, is there could be some good memories that come around Now. There is something here that stands out with what you walked away from within, your elevation of spirit and then also the ace of swords here with the six of cups. There's something here where the truth was flipped, the truth was manipulated in a way, with the ace of swords being reversed here. This kept you in your head.

Speaker 1: 28:36

I can see for many of you where you felt like you were kind of trapped. You were trapped mentally, you were stagnated. There's something here about with this potential return. It's not the time with the world card being reversed, it's not necessarily the time to revisit this. This could be a personal love situation. For some of you this could be just friends and family with this particular Knight of Cups, this Cancer Scorpio of Pisces. But the way they went about it was they kind of bullied their way through the emotional situation, with the King of Cups showing up. So it's important to recognize those things and recognize the lessons that you learned again within the elevation of spirit realm.

Speaker 1: 29:19

What did you learn and why would you need to defend what you have right now? What are the benefits of defending it? Cause it seems like there's more focus on stability. That actually needs to happen and also for the situation that you're in right now or maybe planning for in the future personally, there's some alignment that needs to happen as far as where you wanna go, where do you wanna travel? Where do you wanna take this relationship here with the two of Cups so that this situation here can be closed out? I'm getting like the sense of closure here where it's just time to see it for what it was. Allow the closure to happen so that you can move forward in a new way, whether that be friends, family or romantic. Yeah, let's bring in some additional oracles for your butterflies.

Speaker 1: 30:24

I actually feel called to bring in a clarifier for each realm here and we'll use some Oracle of the Muse oracles calling and clarifying energies for each realm for this tera therapy, healing, tarot calling and clarifying energies for each realm. Okay, so clarifying your elevation of spirit. Here I'm seeing serenity. So we have this Leo lion energy, this bold, courageous strength, building energy within your elevation of spirit. There's a lot that you went through and we've discussed that and talked through those messages that have come through, but I'm seeing now that you're in a place of just serene, peace. You have that understanding. It's like you have your house, you're by the water, you see the sunset, you are just at peace and fully within your strength and with this white flower here, it's like you're in your new beginning. So it's a beautiful energy to know that you can see the past and not have to relive the past.

Speaker 1: 32:01

I'm also seeing here within your healing that there's this need to dream, especially as you're coming into this judgment in your favorite energy, with this golden snake releasing and shedding the old. Some of you may receive so many good spiritual, connected messages from your spiritual guides within your dreams. Remember it's not yours to defend. Allow those ancestral energies to come through. Allow others to see what they need to see, and then you can make the choice to walk away. It is not your battle to fight. It is your ancestral energy that will take care of everything. So allow that to happen.

Speaker 1: 32:40

I'm also seeing here, with the rest, that there's a certain family energy that continues to come out. I'm getting this energy of legacy. Don't just think about the actions you do. Work wise for yourself. Think about what that energy means for your legacy, your future family. It's like there's a leopard here that also has three other leopards behind it with this beautiful pink rose. So by the time we get to the next lunar eclipse, which is here in about another week, there might be some answers that come out here as to what is being transformed right now and why you're actually doing it. What is the purpose, what are you being drawn to? And then I am seeing clarity here within your personal life. You'll have greater clarity on the direction that you want to take your relationship. The energy is coming through here for the collective and I'm also seeing the spirit clarifying here with the six of cups energy. So it's like what is the true essence and spirit that is around the situation and what's actually coming out is energy. What's the energy that you feel around this person of the past, this familial energy, the trickery that was shifted, the truth. Now that this chapter is closing, what does this actually mean for you now? So you that you can step out of that energy and step into the full essence of the truth and the answers of what actually happened there.

Speaker 1: 34:11

Now, butterflies, remember that your intuition is strong and clear, to really trust the voice within. At this time, there's so much good, powerful energy, grounding energy and reminding you to trust your inner core. We had solidity and inner core here, where there's a duality and understanding of yes, you have your inner peace within yourself, but what does that mean for the collective? How can you use those gifts to reach out to others? And also to remember you are a beautiful soul, looking within and understanding that that calm mind that you have. There's an infinite possibility of growth and expansion within that, if you allow yourself to feel these things. Remember butterflies. It's okay not to feel happy all the time. It's okay to feel a bit angry. It's okay to feel that fire. Allow yourself to have that energy. Okay, and let's just close things out here with two last oracles. Bring it in wild offering oracles for this tarot therapy. Call it in wild offering oracles for the butterflies at this time.

Speaker 1: 35:43

So I'm seeing your companionship, it says when you fully embrace your aloneness, you're ready for the ones who are meant to be with you. May I welcome the solitude, knowing it will open the way for all healthy relationships. I'm also seeing your hardship, it says. May I embrace what's happening right now, as baffling or painful as it is. Help me, god, to trust where you are guiding me. I am yours. And then one more here. We have self love, it says show me how to love myself, show me how to take care of the inner child. Show me how to be kind within. When you step into self forgiveness, so much can change on the outside. Yes, we have so many messages of that.

Speaker 1: 36:28

And then one more here Butterflies, actually, too, that wanted to come out. We have awareness, it says live in the moment, be conscious of your thoughts, look for signs and guidance, and then also hear magic. It says make a wish, believe in miracles, magic surround you With that, butterflies. That is all I'm being called to read at this time. I truly hope you enjoyed this terrotherapy. I hope that it provided the guidance. I hope that you have greater connection with the energies around you and have found some time for peace and healing with everything that is happening across the world. Sending you all off here, with some protectives to each in Palo Santo. Thank you all, so so much for entrusting me on your spiritual journey and until next time, butterflies Speak soon. Bye.
