Hello, butterflies, hello, hello. Welcome to Monique's Tarot. How are you, butterflies? I hope all is going well. We have so much to catch up on. To get things started here, 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.

Speaker 1: 1:01

As always, butterflies, it's such an honor to connect with you all in this space. There's been so much good change and shift. For myself personally, at the end of September or mid-September, my brother, he, got married. I had posted some of those pictures for you all and sent them via Substack to those of you in the butterfly community. It was such a beautiful wedding, it was so nice. It was nice to get out of the country for a while and have a nice destination wedding to celebrate him, and then at the top of the month I have a business outside of all this beautiful connection space I have with you all. So being able to really focus in and hone in over the last few weeks has been required and with everything, I always tell you all that whenever I come to the table I want to make sure I have my best energy and when I had this influx of things going on. It's like, okay, I've got to really give myself the time and space to rest, the time and space to make sure I have good quality for my business, good quality and energy for my family, and now I'm in a space where I have more to give and my energy systems feel like they can offer more to you all.

Speaker 1: 2:20

Thank you to those that listened to the podcast during this time, to some of those old episodes, and also for all of the folks that visited the Monix Tarot website. I was so surprised by the number of visits and I really don't check numbers that often, but the number of visits to the website, those of you that read via Substack, read via monikstarrellcom, read via Medium and listen via the podcast, as well as watch on YouTube. It is so beautiful to be able to share these butterfly community spaces with you all, so with that, there is a lot of energy. That's happening right now For those of you based within the US, but also the US elections affect the rest of the world in so many ways. We are on the verge of an election this week, so there's a lot of energy and focus around what will happen, a lot of anticipation energy and, for many of you, butterflies, being able to center yourself during this time. It's a very communal time. There's excitement, depending on who you're voting for, and there's also well wishes on making sure everything is happening the way we want it to in community and that we're uplifting those leaders and those local people that are really shaping the things that we do, that are really shaping the things that we do, and, for those of you that are not, in election seasons around the world, this is a time of deep connection and preparation. So, thinking about how you are preparing yourself within your community, how are you connecting to those spaces, especially just coming off of the Scorpio moon that we had? How have you been going deep? How have you been really touching your emotions and touching your spirit so that you're more prepared to move forward With that butterflies, let's get into a guided message from the Spiritual Guides, calling in messages from the Spiritual Gu guides for the week ahead.

Speaker 1: 4:29

Calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead. Okay, butterflies coming back to some vivid energy on the table, I'm seeing. Okay, butterflies coming back to some vivid energy on the table, I'm seeing. So we have this beautiful, bright orange, vibrant butterfly, burst of red behind. It's like this fiery energy, but with an inner light, with this purple here, like following that intuition of what you feel really called to do here. And you can see that this butterfly is climbing, literally climbing this branch here. And it says I choose happy and loving thoughts, I feel good and express love for myself and others. Again, it says here I choose happy and loving thoughts, I feel good and express love for myself and others. There's a certain openness that's coming here as I'm receiving the energy of this card. It just feels very open, that willpower again, that yellow color that's really standing out to me. It's like an opening that's coming for many across the collective. So again here it says I choose happy and loving thoughts, I feel good and express love for myself and others. Let's pull in a few more here.

Speaker 1: 5:53

Butterflies Okay, I'm seeing here a shapeshifter, wow, and I have a cat. I have a cat, dee Dee, and I literally just saw her climbing up on the table as I pulled this out. And you can see here that there's this cat on this card and this moon that's upside down on its side. It says here make sense of the world by understanding the unknown, leave fear behind and shift your perspective, for this is where you will find a new state of awareness. Yeah, like there's so much uncertainty right now, but there's an importance, with the shapeshifter energy, of knowing that you can shift your world. You can shift what you need into something that works for you, and also you can shift your mindset, you can shift your energy, you can shift your emotions into what works for you, without fear. Again here it reads make sense of this world by understanding the unknown, leave fear behind and shift your perspective, for this is where you'll find a new state of awareness. Let's pull in one more oracle here butterflies.

Speaker 1: 7:30

Yeah, another note here I mean the beauty about cats, just as my cat is walking around as I'm doing this reading. The beauty about cats is they can mold themselves into spaces. They're very flexible. So some of you butterflies have been more rigid. Guides are asking you to be flexible in what you do, flexible in how you're moving and shifting. Also, the number up top here above shapeshifter, is 17. So eights when you combine that are all about business and power. So there's some shape-shifting that's needed right now in those areas of power in yourself and also areas of power across the collective, in our communities. There's a lot of money matters that are also ruled by eight. So think about how you can be more flexible in some of these things. Maybe, if you're planning long-term investments, you're thinking about how you can have some shifts or have some plans, an A, b and C plan instead of just that one rigid plan or even thinking about with those in power how can you connect with them on something that's not as rigid, that maybe is a little bit more flexible, a little bit more fun, but also still allows that conversation to be structured in some way.

Speaker 1: 8:53

Beautiful energy butterflies Spring in another oracle before your base tarot, before your base tarot. Okay, I'm seeing some isolation here. For the collective, this week butterflies with loneliness, it says. When you stop fearing your aloneness, you stop settling for less than you deserve. May I embrace and love my solitude, and that's when kindred spirits can finally come. We are starting to move into the more settled months of the year, and what I mean by settled is this is the time you're spending with yourself or you're really spending it with those that you love. If those of you that are maybe experiencing some loneliness, if you feel like it has a hold on, you allow yourself to again choose those happier thoughts. Open yourself up with this openness, energy that's coming through, this energy to feel good and express love for yourself and others.

Speaker 1: 9:58

See this loneliness as a time where you can really hone in on those things you need to improve within yourself. Don't see it as a lonely time. See it as a time of molding. See it as a time of shifting. See it as a time where you're able to grow and to grow. We truly need to do the work I was just thinking through.

Speaker 1: 10:19

Recently. There's someone in my life very special he is, and what I'm impressed that he does is he's able to really like move through things and do things and when he does them, he knows that he's going to do them very well, very thorough, and he moves through that every time. And I think there's something that's really impressive about doing the work. And there are times within myself where I don't always want to do the work, but I can talk about doing the work and sometimes you need to isolate yourself to do the work. So allow yourself some time to just isolate to do the work, to move through that process, so that you can reframe how you're seeing this loneliness.

Speaker 1: 11:07

Again, here it says when you stop fearing your aloneness, you stop settling for less than you deserve. May I embrace and love my solitude, and that's when kindred spirits can finally come. Yeah, your people are coming butterflies, but you've got to do some work so you're ready for them. Okay, we'll just put these to the side. Calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead. Calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead.

Speaker 1: 12:40

Okay, so I'm seeing butterflies within your elevation of spirit. There's a lot of fast change coming your way, some fast passion. Here with the eight of wands I'm seeing the sun. So some bold energy within your healing, some pride, some seeing yourself in a brighter light. Work and business endeavors. Here at Butterfly is that you're planting new seeds this week, which is beautiful, with the seven of coins I'm seeing with the four of wands. Within your personal life there's a lot of celebration, perhaps some marriages, some new connections, being able to connect in community with those you love, or finding someone in community, and I'm also seeing here with unexpected surprises, that there's going to be a reward coming your way. But you've got to charge forward. You have to trust yourself to allow yourself to step into this energy. So let's talk through this.

Speaker 1: 13:35

Butterflies With the Eight of Wands within your elevation of spirit, I can see that a lot of you are under quite a bit of stress. There's a lot happening right now, especially with the Eight of Wands, like some of you might be on that verge of burnout possibly. There's a lot happening right now, especially with the Eight of Wands. Some of you might be on that verge of burnout. Possibly. It's important to celebrate this moment, to acknowledge the speed, but you will be required to move fast across the collective here. There's also an importance here of making sure that you are handing some things off, if you can with the eight of wands. But the eight of wands energy requires a lot of focus because there's a lot of things coming in fast. So if you feel like again you are a little bit lonely and you are needing to isolate yourself, it's showing that it's for good reason here, because there's a lot of positive opportunities. But even all those good opportunities can feel a little bit stressful. But this is your time to really focus in on that energy.

Speaker 1: 14:39

I am seeing that with the success butterflies that this is going to bring you a lot of joy within your healing. Now, for many of you, the sun energy brings in Leo energy. So it's like a boost in pride, a boost in you know a little bit of that good ego, a boost in knowing that you're gracious and so grateful for everything that's happening right now, to see the sun behind you with healing, because it means that you're on the other side of it. If you've been moving through things, you're now on the other side of it, so allow yourself to come into that. I'm also seeing within your work and business endeavors that with this good energy, this mood boost that you're feeling, you're also planting some good seeds.

Speaker 1: 15:27

This is again the colder months, depending on where you are in the world, but here in the US this is a time of slowing down a little bit, prepping for that next year. So really use this week, especially at the top of November, as a time to prepare. Get those meetings in place, get that education in place, allow yourself to really think clearly about the future so you can go into December with more ease. Whatever it is, butterflies from a job opportunity. You're going for that new career. You're going for, maybe, that new connection. It's important to make sure that you are taking the time to really plant those seeds and be intentional again about your time. I just see loneliness and also shapeshifter just moving across the table here. It's like they're just moving with everything that you do, because you've done some good work, clearly here within your healing, with the sun behind you, but now you're in a space where you really need to use all that good energy to power you forward and there's good opportunities coming in.

Speaker 1: 16:35

This is also beautiful within your love life. Here, butterflies, I'm seeing the four of wands within your personal life. Some of you are in this really beautiful connected space of love, this beautiful connected space of newness that the Four of Wands has. But it's a very stable energy. With the Four of Wands, it's family, it's long-term plans, it's thinking about the wedding, it's thinking about how you're prepping for those kids.

Speaker 1: 17:07

This is a time of celebration and, if you are single, know that it's coming. It could be this time of potential loneliness that some of you experience if you are single, that you're starting to open up. With that open energy that I'm feeling throughout this reading, you're starting to open up to what you actually need and you're starting to understand what you actually need here with the four of wands, maybe something didn't quite work out with a marriage, or maybe something didn't quite work out with the last relationship, but through isolation and taking the time to actually understand what you need, you're now seeing what would make you happy, what would make you glow, what would make you the most vibrant spiritually. It's this beautiful energy and I'm also seeing here the chariot within unexpected surprises. So there's some rewards that you all have been working on. There's a lot of hard work that's come in here, a lot of internal self-work, and also it's like you're being seen for the work that you do. So be prepared, butterflies, to do that work across all areas of your life. But the guides are saying that you really, your determination that you have here is paying off. So continue to do that, butterflies.

Speaker 1: 18:27

This is such a beautiful reading for the top of november. Just coming into this energy of fast-paced opportunities, abundance and love, abundance in your healing, planting some really good seeds, thinking about your future, I see that many of you butterflies are not just only, you're not just thriving in this present moment, but you're also thriving in how you're prepping for more and preparing for more. That's such beautiful energy, butterflies. I love that I can come back and see that you all are doing well. That makes me very happy. Okay, let's bring in a few oracles here, butterflies. Okay, let's bring in a few oracles here, butterflies. Let's bring in a few closing oracles. Remember you choose happy and loving thoughts. You feel good and express love for yourself and others. That was your butterfly affirmation.

Speaker 1: 19:25

Butterflies, bring in a few more oracles Calling and messages from the spiritual guides. Yeah, big transformation, energy coming through here, with transformation and pressure. The number here is 26. Again, there's a lot of power that some of you are stepping into, and also new authority and new material matters. This is a time where some of you are stepping into and also new authority and new material matters. This is a time where some of you are crossing over that veil. There's been a lot of uncertainty. You can see here on the other side, the more staticky side, and now you're stepping into this golden era of you. This is the time, butterflies, to accept the transformation and if you find yourself in a space where maybe you're even still fighting it, you're not fully wanting to come into it, know that there's a golden energy on the other side. It's time to step through that veil and allow yourself to fully be in what you deserve. Let's bring in a few more oracles here, butterflies. Let's bring in a few more oracles here, butterflies, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the week ahead.

Speaker 1: 20:55

Okay, so we have this woman here. It's given this deep Empress energy. You can see here that she has branches coming out from her arms, very Empress energy connected to nature, this energy of being connected to others around her. It says here you are entering a deeply emotional time in which you ponder the deep spiritual questions of life. This is a time of self-discovery that deepens your connection to Mother Earth, your friends and family. At times your emotions may overflow, but this is a good thing, for these precious moments Bring a great gift of healing. Yeah, I'm getting this energy between this Empress energy.

Speaker 1: 21:37

Some of you, through this loneliness, through this isolation that you're feeling, you're stepping into that inner Empress. You're stepping into that greater abundance, that Queen energy, that emperor energy for those of you that identify as male, that listen. You're stepping into this highly emotional but also transformative time here. Give the pressure a chance to mold you. Give that pressure a chance to bring out that gem inside of you. You want to be able to have that pressure. Bring out that light, bring out that inner shine and I can see that there's a lot of beautiful empress energy that's coming out. Let's bring in a closing oracle here, butterflies, the unicorn oracle. So good to connect with you all.

Speaker 1: 22:30

Butterflies, I hope you've been enjoying this reading. Trust your heart, trust your passions is what we also have here. Intention Be clear and decisive. Focus on what you really want. Be bold with your request to the universe. Ask for what you want.

Speaker 1: 23:17

Butterflies, I see that there's a lot of rapid energy again, especially as many of you are stepping into this new level this week spiritually with the Eight of Wands. That's very fast energy. So be prepared and take that time to really step into who you are and if you need to take space to really focus, do that. But I see that there's a bold, connecting, healing energy of the sun, bringing in some pride, bringing in a little bit more pizzazz, some energy, some style to what you do. So allow yourself to be big. Don't shrink this week, but be intentional about how you guide others and how you connect with those and those passions that you have in your life. With that, butterflies, that is all I'm being called to read at this time, sending you all off with supporting Palo Santo energy. As always, butterflies, it is such an honor to bring you these spiritual messages and the fact that you trust me in bringing you these messages. I truly, truly am grateful for that. That you appreciate this guidance and trust this guidance Until next time butterflies speak soon. Bye.
