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

Speaker 1: 1:01

We have an easy going week here, butterflies. There's a lot of good energy for those of you within the US, we're getting ready to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day or Thanksgiving, and this is such a good time where we are able to connect with families, connect with those we love and take some time off from work, so this energy actually feels really good. There is a lot that came in with the last moon, so there's a lot of energy now where we can kind of ease into things, feel more confident with that energy that we just experienced and with this we're able to come into understanding of ourselves and how we can connect with others in more powerful ways. With that butterflies, let's get into a guided message from the spiritual guides. A Presentational man.

Speaker 1: 2:27

Secondaryś Local Settings. Klein and guided messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead. Klein and guided messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead. Hmm, what stood out right away is just the graininess of this butterfly. It's like this butterfly almost it looks like an older picture. What's coming out? Maybe there's a photo book or memory books where there's just this older picture that maybe is not as intact as it used to be or the image is a little bit scraped off. But there's something here that's coming through about an old photograph and an old picture, just with the wings of this butterfly, and it's almost like this butterfly is sketched, like it's drawn where it's not fully bold, but it's like in process, like getting ready to welcome in something, but just maybe jotting things down or writing down the initial ideas. It's the energy that's coming through. It reads here I am valuable, many people are thankful for my presence in their lives. It also has the blue and pink energy which brings in labor energy. So there's a lot of good balance that's coming in with the energy this week with this card. And again it says I am valuable. Many people are thankful for my presence in their lives. Let's bring in some African goddess energy. It's been a minute since I've brought in this energy. Let's bring in this African goddess energy, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead. There's actually two energies that wanted to come out, so I'll take both of them. So we have goddess Yamaia in awakening and then we have goddess Jumbi with mask.

Speaker 1: 4:34

So let's first look at goddess Yamaia. It reads here goddess Yamaia controls the ocean, the amniotic fluid that nurtures us before we know ourselves, the healing, loving energy of this Europa, mother Eurecia, who never leaves you. The temple is the high priestess for Yamaia and the element is water. And it reads here wake up, awaken now to your true self. Are those tears of joy or sorrow? Let them out. Yomaya swallows your tears and it says the embodiment. Here you are vibrating at a higher frequency, so you see everything differently. This is a goddess rising. You are waking up and once you have experienced awakening, you can never go back to knowing. The path of awakening is not straight, comfortable or easy. You have chosen to lift the veil and have a real relationship with the divine. You didn't come to transcend the world while you're living in it. You came here to dig into the soil, plant yourself and grow. This ascension is your divine purpose. Yeah, it's like the birthing of yourself, and you can see here, with Yomaya's energy, that it's like she's literally birthing this energy from the water. This also gives like a very cancerian energy in a way, where it's like cancer, pisces, scorpio energy, and we actually just came from this kind of Scorpio energy. So there's a lot of beautiful uprising that's coming here, going deep. But now you're coming into this rebirth. Like I said earlier, that confidence that you have in yourself is really coming through.

Speaker 1: 6:22

And then let's look at Jumbi mask here. Goddess, jumbi mask. Something that's coming through here is what are you hiding? What are you hiding about yourself? What are you not showing and revealing about yourself that the Scottish Jumbi is bringing? Because it's like there are different masks that are behind her, very colorful, and also I'm getting this some of you butterflies might be chameleons. So if you are a chameleon, I could see that you have a way of transforming. But there's some pollinators in here too that really indicate that you are giving as much as you are showing. So maybe there's more that you need to show so that you can receive more. It's like a give and take that's happening with these masks.

Speaker 1: 7:12

So Temple of Shadows with Jumbi, it says shadow of the mask. So Jumbis are scary, shadowy, otherworldly spirits and monsters of the Caribbean. Jumbi shadow guidance here says where is the lie? Get quiet to get clear. Put your hand on your heart Now. You are confused or are you afraid? Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. That talking like what are you giving Like? Well, your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. The embodiment here says show your true face.

Speaker 1: 7:46

Wearing a mask block your vulnerability and blessings. If you are wearing a mask, dare to reveal yourself. You are lying to others and to yourself. Wearing a mask is exhausting. Be you. If someone else is wearing a mask with you, you deserve clarity. Your relationship and connection is built on lies. Their mask is a protection of your own.

Speaker 1: 8:10

The Goddess declaration here is I am willing to remove the mask. So yes, butterflies, there's this energy of needing to be comfortable with this new self. Some of you are already in this energy, but for those of you that are transitioning, the guides, the spiritual guides, your ancestors, are calling you to be truly comfortable with yourself at this time. Let's provide some Starlight Oracles here Calling in Starlight Oracle energies for the week ahead. So we have here infinite vastness. It says stop playing small. Infinite vastness, yeah, it's like there's this portal here of energy that's coming through. This portal here is a bright light, almost like some of you are stepping into a window of yourself, stepping into this world of understanding who you are. The guides are like shouting this week, stop playing small. Understanding who you are, with the Yama'a Goddess energy awakening into yourself, revealing the true person of who you are and not wearing those masks, and also with your butterfly affirmation understanding that you are valuable. Many people are very thankful for your presence in their lives and to stop playing small. It's like the guides want you to fully awaken and open and step through this portal. They've given you everything you need and now it's time to really fully step into and through this portal.

Speaker 1: 9:55

Beautiful energy butterflies. We're actually just gonna put these to the side. We'll come back to these and I feel called to just bring in more ancestral energy. So I'm actually gonna bring in a black tarot deck here, a melanated tarot deck. There's so much ancestral energy that comes through, especially this time of year of gathering, and I'm just feeling called to stay with that energy, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead.

Speaker 1: 11:12

So, looking at this energy here, butterflies, I'm seeing the lover within your lovers, within your elevation of spirit, the father of baskets reversed within your healing, the magician reversed within your work and business endeavors, the emperor upright within your personal life, and then the six of wands reversed within unexpected surprises. So I can see that some of you, with the six of wands being reversed in unexpected surprises, there are some people that don't fully celebrate you. Like you're stepping into this energy of who you are that we're seeing. You're stepping into this energy of removing the mask, but not everyone fully understands it, not everyone fully gets it. It's almost like there's this energy of your passing them by that's coming through, with the six of wands being reversed, where not everyone is meant to be in the parade with you. I'm just thinking about, like these Macy's Day parades and Thanksgiving parades, like not everybody's meant to be in the parade with you. So there's an energy of kind of passing by some people as you're starting to come into this new energy and you may find yourself where not everyone is as happy as you would expect them to be.

Speaker 1: 12:25

The guidance that's coming through spiritually is to allow yourself to stay in your energy. How can you maintain those boundaries and continue to build on the energy that you have been creating for yourself Within your personal life? Here I'm seeing the Emperor, so there's this energy of really having a good, solid foundation within your personal life and for those of you particularly with families, there's this energy like of a mother with a child and there's just these boards that are pouring water around. The Emperor energy with this mother and child is like this. Mother and child are so well supported. There's an emotional balance and emotional pouring into that's coming in right now and you're stepping into this space where you truly have understanding of what you need to cultivate this balance, to cultivate this family that you want. I'm also getting this energy of like a single mother that's coming through here, where you and your child, maybe you and your son, there's a really strong little masculine one that's coming through. So you and your child have been working through and gaining this energy and connecting more emotionally and it's almost like as you set the foundation for yourself as you set these strong structures for you. It's working for your family. Now, for those of you that don't have a family, there could actually be a little one, a little masculine, that's getting ready to come through through in your future. So make sense with, maybe, if you are in that process of trying to conceive, or make sense with the possibility of how are you cultivating and preparing for children in your family? How are you cultivating and preparing for those little ones? Maybe there's little nephews that some of you are even close to. I'm getting also auntie and nephew energy that's coming through here, but we'll get some clarifiers. But there's just very strong energy here of good foundation within family, within your work and business endeavors.

Speaker 1: 14:42

I'm seeing the magician reverse. So there's something here about not fully alchemyzing and utilizing your gifts and also there's a need here with the magician, to look out for tricks as well. There's something here when the magician is reversed, specifically in work. Make sure you look at everything, dot every I, cross every T. Make sure things make sense. Don't just jump into things to jump into things. Make sure it actually makes sense for you. And there's also this energy here of cycles, like there's a past cycle here, or maybe there's something here about the last two weeks where if there's been something that seemed just a little bit off in the last two weeks, the guides are asking you to check into that, because we just have one moon cycle here. So look at what's happened over the last two weeks work-wise and dot every T, but we'll get some clarifiers around there. Also, there might be a leader for some of you with the magician where the leader is using their power inappropriately, and this might also apply to some of you if you're using your power inappropriately. So there's a need here to really watch how people are moving and talking with that magician energy being reversed Very much Gemini energy, so a lot of how people are talking and thinking type energy at work Within your healing.

Speaker 1: 16:14

I'm seeing the father of baskets reversed and this could be possibly a cancer, scorpio or Pisces masculine authority figure within your life. I'm actually getting more familial energy. There's a lot of familial energy that's coming through and I think it's just it's bringing in the time that we are in right now. But there's this energy about this father of baskets, where there's some emotional conversations that need to be had. There's some things that need to be healed and through this healing and understanding each other emotionally, there's an opportunity to bear new fruit. Right now it's almost like the old fruit that is trying to be brought back up, almost like a father that is trying to revive something old or holding on to these old ideals of what worked and the good times, maybe when you were younger. Those days have passed, new fruit has come in, so it's like there are new seeds that need to be planted within this relationship to heal it.

Speaker 1: 17:15

I'm also seeing here, within your elevation of spirit, the lovers. There's a lot of good energy here, a lot of good connection that's happening here, a lot of good Gemini energy that's happening here. For you, this is such an abundant, beautiful time. So I'm seeing, for a lot of you, butterflies across the collective, like there's a unity that's coming in here with the lovers You're elevating into this relationship, you're elevating into this connection and, of course, the lovers. It could sometimes deal with friends, so sometimes you know this could be a time where you're connecting more with friends. You're connecting more in unity, especially in elevating and understanding, after all this transformation that we saw with Yamaya and Jumbi, that you are stepping into this new version of yourself and you're finding the right people that allow you not to play small. So this is beautiful energy, beautiful, beautiful energy. Let's just bring in some supporting clarifiers to go just a little bit deeper here. Butterflies Calling and clarifying energy for elevation of spirit Ooh yeah, supporting this lovers energy.

Speaker 1: 18:31

I'm seeing the four of wands, there could be some wedding bells for some of you. There could be some newfound days for you. There could be some new foundations, thoughts about what you want. The four of wands is like great celebration, and not only just you and your lover or you and your friends experiencing the celebration, but community around you. So I can see that some of you are getting ready to be in a time where you are just out in community, enjoying, connecting and being well supported within your relationships from others. So congratulations to those that might have a possible engagement, congratulations to those who are being considered for a relationship or an engagement long term or a long term partnership.

Speaker 1: 19:19

This could be just the beginning of a very long term partnership because not everybody wants to get married, but the four of wands definitely has this beautiful energy here where it's bringing you into this union that is well supported by those around you, calm and clarifying energy for healing. So, looking at, you're healing here with the father of baskets again a cancer scorpio or a Pisces father figure that's coming through. There's this energy here with the six of knives where, yeah, I can see that there was some tensions with how the communication was between you and this father of baskets where you just needed to walk away, and I can see that that's definitely happened in the past. But now it's kind of like anything can happen with this wheel of fortune that's also supporting it. Anything could happen and this is actually a really good time to kind of bear new seeds and produce new fruit. So be open to this opportunity of reconnection. It's almost like the six of knives is a reminder of what happened while you walked away, but I'm not seeing a rehash. I'm actually seeing an opportunity to reopen. Might not happen immediately. It might happen over the next two weeks. So allow the cycle to move through. Don't force it.

Speaker 1: 20:58

Con and clarifying energy for work and business endeavors yeah, I'm seeing here there's something about the two of knives, like some of you may have a choice and how things were communicated, how things were talked about. There's just something here where someone's not being completely honest within the workplace. So make sure you give yourself some options because if there are people that are doing things, make sure you're set and ready for when things maybe turn over in the other way. The seven of knives is showing yeah, there was some deception here in the past, Some trickery. Particularly, it might be some emails. Look at the emails. Look at what was said, what was being talked about and it showing it's all past energy, like in the past there was a choice of how to talk that need to be made.

Speaker 1: 21:48

In the past there was trickery. This is not very present energy, and then I'm seeing the hermit. So the guides are asking you to kind of come to yourself first, take some time, kind of get away from the work. If you're getting some time for vacation, do that. That is definitely what's needed here with the hermit. Sometimes you don't always need to figure things out right away and they will come to you. So the guides are asking you to take a vacation with this hermit card. Take some time to yourself, maybe. Take a week, two weeks.

Speaker 1: 22:25

There's a lot of moon cycles that are within this reading, so allow that energy to flow through. There is significant energy about two weeks and the next two weeks, as we go into December energetically, the cards are definitely showing that there's a turnover the ancestors and spiritual guides are bringing to the table. It's a strong turnover, so be ready for that and just work in the rest and intention of what you're doing as you step into this larger version of yourself, clarify an energy for personal life. Hmm, there could be a young teenager with this daughter of basket supporting the emperor a cancer, scorpion or Pisces teenager that has a really good way of connecting with you, and this little one for those of you that have that situation, or maybe like an auntie that swoops in, I see her traveling towards you. There's just a beautiful energy that's coming through. And also there could be something here about same-sex relationships where this daughter of baskets is coming through for some of you and really supporting you and your child. So allow this energy to come through. It's a very warm, embraced, feminine energy pouring into yourself, pouring into your family. I'm almost getting this energy, like it's a long awaited break. It's an opportunity to have a break and for those of you that maybe aren't in same-sex relationships, there's this energy of the feminine energy around you is pouring into your family. The feminine energy around you is pouring into this potential future little masculine one that's coming in. So this is just a very warm energy, a very emotionally supported energy and allow yourself to welcome that in at this time and clarifying energy for the six of wands.

Speaker 1: 24:30

So I again I'm seeing here that the guides are showing not everyone, unexpectedly, will celebrate you in the way that you would have expected them to with the six of wands energy, but the guides are saying that there's a certain patience you need to have with the hangman here being upright. There's something you're waiting on, there's something you're holding for. Let's see if we can get some clarifying energy and why the guides want you to be patient. Might be something to do with a Taurus, virgo or a Capricorn. I did see that energy come through father of knives.

Speaker 1: 25:14

Yeah, there's something here about wanting to wait. There could be a father figure or strong masculine someone who has an authority on how you think, how you talk, how you speak, wanting to say some things, and it's almost like he's literally chopping down your success or chopping down how you see yourself. The guys are saying be patient, don't react right away to what he says. Give him some time to think through, because he's sharper with his words than he is with his heart. So give yourself the time to just allow it to happen and move through your own energy. Remember butterflies. You are stepping into this big version of yourself with infinite vastness. The guides are asking you to stop playing small. Bring with you this week the energy of the goddess Yamaya and awakening into yourself in the goddess Jumbi and letting go of those masks that are holding you back. Also, remember your butterfly affirmation week that says I am valuable. Many people are thankful for my presence in their lives and we're going to close things out here with a uniform oracle. Yes, thank you.

Speaker 1: 26:34

Spiritual guys, there are a lot of cycles throughout this reading, a lot of things around two weeks. So be very mindful of what you're taking in and allowing. Just be very observant of what's happening over the next two weeks. And it says here cycles you have a beautiful unicorn with a purple moon behind, so there could be something significant by the next moon. And it says here cycles Everything has its right time. Honor the cycles of your body and tune into the moon's magic With that butterflies. That is all I'm being called to read at this time.

Speaker 1: 27:12

Thank you all, so so much for entrusting me on your spiritual journey. I am wishing you a wonderful vacation and holiday. For those of you celebrating Indigenous People's Day, thanksgiving, for those of you connecting with your families all around the world.
