Hello, butterflies, hello, hello. Welcome to Monique's Tarot. How are you, butterflies? I hope all is going well on your end as we enter this beautiful week of energy and time together. I've missed you all.

Speaker 1: 0:15

I've been taking quite a bit of time in between the readings, where I'm still getting them out weekly, but just not every Sunday. And there have been over the last month so many energies that you all have seen whether it's the energy within the Palestine-Gaza conflict or the Ukraine and Russia conflict, or the Congo and Rwanda. There's so many things that are happening around the world and I am feeling all of that energy. So, in addition to my personal energy kind of reset, I've been just flowing with the energy, like if it feels right, it feels right. And as much as sometimes we want to be on a schedule, there's an importance with energy receiving messages from the ancestors and receiving messages from the guides to make sure my energy system feels fully replenished when I bring energy to you all. So I've really been listening to that because the external energies and the collective energies of the world have really been taxing on my system. So I come to you all in renewed energy spaces every time. That is my goal, but hopefully you know I can give back to every Sunday at some point, but for now I'm just, if it's not Sunday, it's definitely at some point during the week. So to get things started here, butterflies, let's just burn a bit of Palo Santo, welcoming in those messages from the spiritual guides and also clearing out that energy that no longer serves us. And thank you all so much for your kind nudges, especially those of you via the podcast listening all over the world, for those of you that listen in via YouTube, hello, hello. And also for those of you that are readers, so write at MoniqueSherrocom, whether you're subscribed, the email at some stack or medium or Quora. Thank you all so much for entrusting me on your spiritual journey. So, along those lines, this energy coming into this reading again, there's a lot that's happening in the world right now and I'm feeling this sense of peace and energy coming through, almost like there's a certain collective unity that comes in these moments, that's deeply felt, and we also all have our own individual lives, which often comes through in the readings, and I think it's important to remember there's a balance to that coming into the energy of unity for the collective and also remembering that we have our own individual lives. So I hope that you all have been diving in deep with some good individual work to understand how you can resonate more with others.

Speaker 1: 3:26

Let's get into a guided message here from the spiritual guides Calling, the messages from the spiritual guides For the butterflies listening in, calling and collective messages from the spiritual guides For the butterflies listening in. I'm getting two visuals First of a beach, almost like a beach ball, but there's the emphasis on the sand, sand going into the water, going from hard big boulder rocks to the small pieces of sand and rock that they are before they dissolve into the water. It's almost like this shifting of mass. And I'm also being drawn to this visual of very tall trees, like sequoia trees, large forest trees where there's this visual of just kind of being in the forest looking up. And then also I had a visual of a kite as well that came through. So it's interesting to see like these water, land and air references coming into the elements of things, coming into the rebirth through water, the going out to shore, coming from that large rock out to shore, and then also the trees representing so much knowledge, so much beauty, so much being the immortals of the earth in many ways, and then this kite energy, which is very playful but also referencing to the intellect of our minds and also that higher consciousness. So I'll just carry those with me here.

Speaker 1: 5:53

This first butterfly you have a butterfly that's sitting on this mossy branch and there's a certain thing about a mossy branch where branches are like the veins of the trees. They're how they pump the blood and energy through the system to retain all that knowledge and wisdom that they have. And so you can see here that on the vein of this tree, the moss, on this branch, here the butterfly is just standing on it receiving its support, and sometimes without the moss, a branch can be a little bit slippery. So it's almost like some of you are finding some support in your lifeline, finding some support in the blood that runs through you, finding some support in the veins that are pumping energy and life into your system. And also there's a call here to recognize the heart chakra, here with this green color, very grounding energy, also with these browns coming through, with the sacral chakra. So there's a certain call to open up the heart and also recognize the inner work and inner divine energy that's coming through and bring you to this life force energy that you currently have.

Speaker 1: 7:09

Your butterfly affirmation here says I am doing so well on my life journey, I am proud of myself. I'll read that again I am doing so well on my life journey, I am proud of myself. There's a certain recognition here that the guides have in acknowledging the journey you've had so far, acknowledging that you are, in every right, expected to be proud of yourself. And sometimes, as we're moving through a life journey, it can feel as if we're in this stage and phase of life where things aren't going to come together or things aren't going to be exactly how we want them to be. But in acknowledging this proudness within yourself, you're acknowledging that you are still on your path, you are still trying, you are still staying consistent in what you are being called to do. Beautiful energy, beautiful, beautiful energy. We'll just put that to the side for a moment. Along these lines of earth energy, I also want to bring in here some earth oracles, calling and messages from the spiritual guides for earth energies. Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for earth energies. Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for earth energies.

Speaker 1: 9:04

So we have here power and volcanoes. Okay, what first came through is here there is, yes, a lot of fury that's happening right now. But there's also a cooling point that when the volcano finally explodes, there's a certain exposure of who holds and who has that power here. So I'm getting this energy here with the number nine that we're almost at that completion point. We're almost at that highest justice and understanding here as a collective. But there's a lot of volcanic energy Also. You can see here that this, being at the top, it's almost like they're holding their hand, they're holding their head in their hands and they're glowing with this energy. We are starting to realize as a collective the power that we all truly have, the power that we all truly hold. And for some of us, unfortunately, there's been a lot of suffering that has happened and this is a really tough energy that's coming through here with this power and volcano because it has that fire. But there's a cooling point that once that lava finally hardens, we're able to kind of settle in and it burns away so much of that destruction. It burns away so much of the harm that's happening and it's almost like there's a new ground that settles. And this is so hard to deliver to you all right now because there are so many senseless lives that are being lost. But the guides are showing that this power energy, this fiery energy is present right now it's happening and with the nine it's almost at this completion point and also that's a very high justice point with nine. So there's justice that's coming in here, but right now there's a fire that needs to happen. Yeah, that volcano energy, powerful, powerful energy there, butterflies.

Speaker 1: 11:15

Okay, let's call on some energies of the muse here, calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the current energy of the collective, calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the current energy of the collective. So we have here intuition. Intuition, we have a triangle here that's coming through, so representing a certain ease that comes in knowing yourself upon this pyramid. But we also have this red jasper color and also the sacral chakra that's coming through with this orange. So there's again the energy of how are you connecting with the purpose of your roots, how are you connecting with yourself individually as well as to the collective.

Speaker 1: 12:21

So I'm seeing here that there is ease coming through, some divine ancestral knowledge here, going through to the Egyptian pyramids, of understanding your knowing, understanding your calling. And I'm getting also this message of pillars and points throughout the world. So, almost like, you have this foundational spiritual point with the Egyptian pyramids, and I'm getting that there will be foundational points throughout the world with these power and volcanoes. This power and energy where it's like, these points will almost have this at odds conflict before there is, ease before things settle. So there's this need to recognize the powers individually. That's coming through, but there's a very strong calling. I feel it in my heart Like there's a very strong message here that there will be a point where powerful groups standing at different strong structures will be almost like.

Speaker 1: 13:32

It's like for those of you on YouTube, you can see me with my hands, but it's almost like they're coming at each other in some ways, which can sound really scary, but it's almost like they're holding their ground. They're not actually coming at, but they're holding their ground here and they're recognizing that there's something about the alignment of everyone at the same time rooted that is causing this volcanic explosion, almost as if we're starting to shift over into the first elements of like removing some of that masculine energy, and the process of removing some of this masculine energy is requiring us to face some things that ahead so that we can fully express in the more feminine energy, if that makes sense. It's like this explosion is part of that process. This conflict is part of that process. Is what's happening? There's a lot of full collective energies, so let's get into the base tarot butterflies to bring in some individual things within yourselves. Hmm, hmm.

Speaker 1: 15:06

Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the butterflies listening in the collective energies calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the collective energies at hand. And I'm also going to bring in your supporting tarot as well to your base tarot Calling and supportive messages from the spiritual guides Calling and supportive messages from the spiritual guides Calling and supportive messages from the spiritual guides Calling and supportive messages from the spiritual guides, okay, butterflies.

Speaker 1: 18:16

So I've been feeling called to really bring out the energies all at once for the last couple of weeks. So I wanted to take the time to do that for you all, to really start to receive the energy as a whole, as well as going through all of the realms. So, within your elevation of spirit, I'm seeing the page of wands upright, the five coins reversed within your healing, the king of pinnacles reversed within your working business endeavors. Your world is upright within your personal life and then we have the Empress upright within unexpected surprises. So what I'm seeing here with the page of wands, so as some of you are shifting into this new version of yourself, with this page of wands energy, it's like there's a youth and spark about your connection to what you are and who you are right now in your life. It's like you're maybe more optimistic. There's a certain enthusiasm that the page of wands has, like this adventurous outgoing outlook and also very young and seeing the best parts of yourself and seeing the best parts of your world. It's almost like some of you are really into your passions right now and into this best part of your creativity. And I'm seeing here the Empress reversed and also the moon card that's reversed as well. It's interesting because the Empress is within unexpected surprises, so there could be a mother figure here for some of you where there were some things that needed to be discussed. Maybe this mother is Pisces, with the moon card being reversed, but it's almost as if there's this energy of not being able to fully see things for what they are that you've had with this Empress figure, where perhaps you were trying to set some good foundations for yourself and your mother had some opinions about it, or you were trying to set some good foundations for yourself and for those of you that were maybe working to build your family or have children, you couldn't quite be as enthusiastic about it because you needed to be a mother or you needed to prepare for motherhood.

Speaker 1: 20:34

I'm seeing here that it's important to, as much as you are enthusiastic, not undermine what's the reality of things, meaning what the moon card reversed. Make sure that you're clearly looking at everything, you're clearly understanding everything, but for most of you it's like now you're finally in an energy where you have more time, you can have that youthful energy, you can have that spark and I'm also getting, for some of you that do have a child that's an Aries, leo or Sagittarius, they're going to start to step into a really good version of themselves and understanding who they are, and you may need to just give them some time to go deep. Give them some time to understand themselves, because there's an energy here of what happened previously, with them working to understand themselves through a mother or through you, if you're their mother. They need to start to do things on their own so they might go a little bit more quiet, and it doesn't mean that they're disconnecting from you. This might be for a mother that's also feeling disconnected from a young Aries, leo or Sagittarius. It doesn't mean that they're disconnecting from you. It just means that they're finding their own. But for many of you, this is your energy and you are starting to step into this beautiful version of understanding what you're capable of and finding new adventure in life. I do also see within your healing, with the five of pentacles being reversed. You're coming out of tough times, especially financially, health-wise. Maybe you've been doing a lot of doctors visits lately or working to figure out things with your mentality, your health, working to set up your foundations. I see that the hard days are over. So any negative thoughts or negative outcomes, those are healing.

Speaker 1: 22:32

I see that for many of you there's this night of wands that's coming in here. So, again, sense of adventure. There's two masculine energies here this night of wands, and then also there's the king of swords. So Aries, leo, sagittarius for the night of wands, and then we have the king of swords here with Gemini, libra and Aquarius. There's something here about understanding that the night of wands is offering you this opportunity to have a lot of adventure, a lot of fire, a lot of passion in your life. But there's something here I'm also getting even like a father figure for some of you where there's a certain way of thinking that this king of swords has. That's more structured, more to the point, more practical, and there's just this energy of like. The night of wands is wanting to have this passionate adventure, have this passionate way of kind of going through things and going about things. But this king of swords here is just a little bit more rigid and doesn't always agree with how this night of wands wants to go about things.

Speaker 1: 23:46

It's important for you to recognize what you've come out of and that you need a little bit of adventure and you also need to be strategic about how you're moving through things, but there's something here about perhaps the healing that happened was because you were getting out of a situation and, for some reason, getting relationship. For some of you, if you were getting out of a relationship or family situation that was holding you down, where you had to recover financially, you had to recover mentally and physically. You're now coming into this sense of adventure. So work with the family energies of this king of swords who is sharp with their tongue, sharp with their words. But I'm actually getting. Stay with the adventure right now, despite what this king of swords is thinking, with your work in business endeavors, I am seeing the king of a pinnacles reverse.

Speaker 1: 24:42

There's a call here to be mindful of your spending, be mindful of how you're actually utilizing your money, especially within some of the business decisions or role decisions or job decisions that you're working to make right now. To see the six of pinnacles reverse. It's almost saying that you're giving too much right now. You're giving too much of your time, your resources. You need to rebalance. And also, with the six of swords, there's a call here to come back to the original discussions or the original intentions that you actually had. What were some of those original ideas that you had within your job, your business, your leadership role, what are some of those things that you were doing within your community? Because there's something here about giving too much. You're just giving too much of your energy to others and it's not being reciprocated back. So make sure that you have a good give and take between you and whoever you're given to, or you and the community you're given to, because it's just showing that there's a risk here of giving too much. Especially, not everyone is as loyal as they say they are to you. They might just be utilizing you for what you are giving. And also there's a call here to make sure you're being mindful of your time, because if you are having conversations where results are not being met, then that is something that you want to make sure that you identify quickly according to what the guides are bringing through here Now within your personal life, I do see the world card, so this is a very joyful time for some of you.

Speaker 1: 26:31

I am seeing some reflective energies here, where some of you have been waiting here with the Hague man reverse and also this Night of Swords. You've been waiting for this Gemini Liber Aquarius to return. In some ways, you've kind of been over waiting for them to return. So I'm almost seeing like this is your time right now to just be proud of yourself for not being so dependent on this Night of Swords, not being so dependent on what they say or how they think. Almost like this Night of Swords has such a strong influence over how you think, or they were limiting how you thought, and now you're like you know what. I'm not really trying to wait for this anymore, with the Hague man being reversed and now you're just in this joyful energy of yourself. You can do whatever you want here with this world energy butterflies. So choose what you want for yourself and your relationship. Don't feel like you need to wait on anybody to make things happen and also be very mindful of how you spread your energy and being such a light with this world energy. There's a lot of success that you bring to relationships. There's a lot of understanding that you bring to relationships. So make sure that you use your energy wisely and you share it wisely.

Speaker 1: 27:54

Now looking at unexpected surprises we did have the Empress card also within your Elevation of Spirit reverse, but in unexpected surprises. So these two areas are related. I'm seeing that supporting the Empress upright, there's also the Queen of Pentacles, there's also the King of Wands, so I'm seeing two people here where I definitely got the message of some of you might be having a baby here, are conceiving or giving birth, so congratulations to those of you within that energy. But there's an energy here about a past King of Wands and Ariesley or Sagittarius, and then also a Queen of Pentacles, so a Taurus, virgo or a Capricorn, where the two of you have come together and now you are either giving birth to a child or you're giving birth to an idea. So there's something about this energy that this King of Wands brings where it's birthing this newness.

Speaker 1: 28:59

It's definitely an abundant time with the Empress energy. It's very gentle time, very loving time and getting something about be mindful of this Ariesley or Sagittarius, because you have such good stability, and then vice versa, like there's something here about just making sure that you're both on the same page, especially with this Ariesley or Sagittarius, this King of Wands, coming in from the past. It's like you have such present energy and joyful energy where it's almost like there are people that are coming in across your entire reading at this energy at this time, whether it be this Knight of Swords that's kind of returning or this Empress energy of a mother figure that has things to say. It's almost like you've been so present and working through things that your energy now is glowing. It's glowing no more hard times with the five of coins coming into understandings of yourself, understanding your balance and how much you give, work wise, not giving too much of yourself. This is just a beautiful energy across the board. So make sure that you're mindful about who's coming into that.

Speaker 1: 30:19

Again, butterflies, the guides are really calling you to trust your intuition. At this time there's going to be a very big collective energy, a volcanic energy that's happening, where there will be a lot of powers that are kind of standing their ground here for some time, carrying these volcanic exposures to power, whether that be for the will of individuals to be kind of elevated and really in some ways vindicated from many of these evil powers that are happening, and also for those that are encouraging themselves individually. There will be certain powers within yourself that are rising to these volcanic eruptions, where they're holding their ground and they're allowing you to see what needs to happen. So remember to say to yourself you're doing so well on your life journey. Be proud of yourself for where you are. Be proud of yourself for what you are bringing to the world at this time.

Speaker 1: 31:26

Let's just bring in a few more closing oracles here. Butterflies, I hope you can enjoy this reading. It's been definitely a mix of energies coming through here, a beautiful, beautiful energy Calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the collective. So we have this energy here of forgive yourself. Forgive yourself, and for some of you this may be by the next moon, so next week you may actually experience this full forgiveness. We have an individual here that's holding a beautiful leaf and she has the moon above her supporting her afro.

Speaker 1: 32:13

And it says here forgive yourself. Illuminating that moon energy illuminates what's underneath the surface. It illuminates those things we really need to see within ourselves. And it says here we have all done things in our past we're not proud of, so proud of and hurt people we love. We never intended to cause them pain, but our intentions and apologies don't heal the wounds we have inflicted, even when people you have hurt refuse to forgive you.

Speaker 1: 32:43

You must choose to forgive yourself. Bear witness to how you have changed and all the lessons you've learned in your growth process. Don't let your past mistakes influence your future opportunities. Forgive yourself so you aren't trapped in the body of who you used to be. Forgive yourself so you won't subconsciously be begging others to do so. Forgive yourself so you can move forward. Forgive yourself because you deserve it. So it says here. I let myself and others down in the past. Today I choose to forgive myself.

Speaker 1: 33:17

Yes, butterflies, it's important to forgive yourself in that process of healing and we saw within your healing realm that many of you, the hard times that you were experiencing, the difficulties that you were experiencing. Forgive yourself for having to move through those tough moments. Forgive yourself and be gentle on yourself for needing to have time. Forgive yourself for allowing the influence of others to take precedent to how beautiful and fulfilled and abundant you truly are. There's so much forgiveness that's coming through here, especially within the healing, and you're coming into the space of beginning to heal, beginning to come into the light. So allow that energy to come through better flies.

Speaker 1: 34:05

Let's build on that energy here with a love oracle. So we have an image of two individuals here. We have a more masculine and a more feminine figure here on this oracle, very beautiful pink energy. Two hearts here, almost two hearts that are coming together, and it almost feels as if this masculine has been observing this feminine energy for some time, where they both are centered within their intuition and there's a certain comfort that this feminine actually has in her energy with this masculine, a very full energy. I'm almost getting some years where these two have been working together or will be working together to really heal and come together. But there's a certain honor and reverence that this masculine continues to have for this feminine.

Speaker 1: 35:18

It says here if you want to experience a deeper level of love in your relationship, you must both consciously and willingly surrender to one another, feel and honor the sacred within each other, be vulnerable and give yourself up to love each and every moment. In doing so, you will unite in love, you will feel alive, reborn with each breath. One loving thought can create a world of infinite love. Yeah, that's such beautiful energy because there was like they both had one had a star, and then the other one had a teardrop of intuitive markers on their foreheads intuitive energy. So it's almost like the divine is calling you in to recognize the inner intuition that you both hold, which is beautiful.

Speaker 1: 36:08

If you don't mind butterflies, I'm just taking my time with some of these oracles here today. I feel like there's such incredible energies about taking breaks and taking time, and when I do come to the table, I always like to just take my time with you all instead of trying to rush through or get something done. It's just like let me just connect with the energy as it's flowing through. So just a few more here, butterflies, if you don't mind I know you don't call it in messages from the spiritual guides for the energy at hand. So we have here aging, it says I am one with an unlimited love, beyond all seemingly restrictions of age. I'm filled with joy, energy and beauty, a vessel for the divine Shakti. Yes, there's a certain thing about wisdom here that has come through, because again, there are some times that have passed that we saw throughout our reading, where there's revisiting energies or looking at the past or making sure that there's reciprocation happening, and so there's an energy here about making sure that you are respecting your age and you are respecting the experience that you have. Use that as a guiding post, the experience that you have, use that.

Speaker 1: 37:45

And we also have here intentions and creative blocks which actually try to come out twice. So with intentions here, it says, intention is simply allowing the will and the mind to align and move in harmony. May I always focus on the highest. My intention is that all God's wishes for me come true. And then we also have here creative blocks. If you are an artist of any kind, you can offer all work to the divine. Make it God's alone. I offer this for the highest good, to benefit the planet. Release me from any blocks and restrictions. May the serve all who need. Yes, better flies.

Speaker 1: 38:26

Okay, we're going to close things out here today with a unicorn oracle and we have here awareness. It says live in the moment, be conscious of your thoughts and look for signs and guidance. Live in the moment, be conscious of your thoughts and look for signs and guidance. I feel called to just bring in one more. Look at that, back to the original, the first realm we went into of rebirth here. I love when that happens, that alignment. It says here reinvent yourself, give life to your dreams and create a new reality.

Speaker 1: 39:29

Again, rebirth says reinvent yourself, give life to your dreams and create a new reality. Yes, better flies. Some of you are re birthing yourself again, that page of Wands, energy that came through in this new elevation that you're stepping into. It's like there were different versions of yourself in the past and now you're coming into a new version of who you are, and that goes across the collective and across the world. At this time, across the cosmos, there's a rebirth that's happening, so allow this energy to come in. Allow this flood of shifting from the masculine into the more feminine age of Aquarius energy to flow through. Allow this rebirth to happen. Butterflies With that. That is all I'm being called to read at this time, sending you all off with such good protective energy. Thank you all each and every week for entrusting me on your spiritual journey. There's burning some protective Palo Santo to send you on your way Until next time. Butterflies speak soon. Bye.
