Monique's Tarot 🦋

Speaker 1:

Hello, butterflies, hello, hello. Welcome to Monique's Tarot. How are you, butterflies? Welcome to this week of love. Happy Valentine's Day to those of you that are celebrating with friends, family, loved ones. I hope you're going deeper in all of your connections and speaking of love. We also have a full moon in Leo. 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:

How fitting is it that we have this full moon in Leo, especially during Valentine's Day week? There's so much romantic energy with Leo. Before we get into a reading, let's talk about that a little bit. So in tarot, leo is represented by the sun card, so there's this bold energy, a very passionate energy, especially with Leo being a fire sign, and there's a lot of good courage. You might find yourself in this position of feeling a little bit more prideful, being taller in your stance, feeling like you have know you have those leadership abilities that have been hiding underneath you, and also there's that boastfulness that Leos have so craving that attention. Really, really good, bold energy.

Speaker 1:

Now Leo is connected to the fifth house, so there's a lot of leisure activities that come with this. Think about Leo as like it literally is a big cat. It's a lion, but there's a lot of romance that comes in here, fertility and connection, and when you combine that with all that loving energy, there's going to be a lot of good self-expression. So expect people to really declare their love during this time, especially with Valentine's Day, or have that self-love for yourself. There's so much beauty in finding things that we love, enjoying those things that we do and just being able to go deeper and really understand what are you passionate about, what do you care about, who do you care about? And bring in some good warmth and energy to that.

Speaker 1:

Leo is also a fixed sign, so this is the determined sign. So you're definitely going to feel like you know what I have. Some focus right now. During this week You're going to do what you need to do. There's going to be a lot of I energy, which is expected with Leo. Don't shy away from that. Definitely go into that energy. But remember, leo is the most romantic sign of the zodiac, so expect as much as you have some bold, self-determined energy. There's always that awareness with Leo of how other people perceive you. One of those perceptions about Leo that's overlooked sometimes is that Leo are really they're introverts and with all that strength, it requires some rest. So allow yourself to have that rest, to have that leisure, as well as going deeper into that self-expression and freedom that comes with the number five that Leo's connected with. Again, with this fire energy, the wands energy, remember to nurture your passions during this time and your willpower.

Speaker 1:

We're gonna do a special love reading here at the end, after we just go through our general reading for the week ahead, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what energies come together, especially in this week of love with Valentine's Day With that butterflies. Let's get into a guided message from the spiritual guides. Calling and messages for the full moon in Leo. Calling and messages for the full moon in Leo. Call it in messages for the full moon in Leo there's a bold purple, wise I should say very wise purple flower that you can see here. The butterfly almost is slightly camouflaged into this purple flower. Behind it you can see the brown wings. You can also see these red spots on the brown wings and there's just a slight pop of blue. So there's something here about hiding but also needing to still speak out. Blue is connected a lot to that throat chakra and with those brown energies, energies, how are you actually connecting with that sacral chakra? That's where you kind of bring in those browns, that tiger's eyes in the areas of the chakras in the body. So that's beautiful energy, but it's really interesting to see like that sacral energy would be camouflaged, and maybe there's something you need to speak about, whether that be sexually within yourself or sexually to someone else. But bringing in this leo energy how are you hiding yourself is also coming out here, and there's something here about a redemptive type of energy that I just heard right away. And pulling out this card, there's a redemptive energy that's coming in this week. It reads here the door that closes for me is the wrong door. The door that opens for me is the right door. I'll read that again the door that closes for me is the wrong door. The door that opens for me is the right door. Let's bring in a few more oracles here.

Speaker 1:

Butterflies, I like this energy of redemption though that's coming through, but I do ask the spiritual guides to clarify why it's a bit camouflaged. That is just really fascinating to me. Why would the energy be camouflaged? And also needing to talk about it, clarifying energy for the full moon and Leo harvest energy that comes with full moons, full moons Okay, I'm seeing here clarity. It says here butterflies. Let me trust my deepest instincts on all the ways. Especially when matters are unclear, may my own holy intuition always guide the way. And seeing this energy of the door that closes for me is the wrong door, along with clarity.

Speaker 1:

So often we don't know where or why things are happening. Where are we going if something is closing? But there's a sense here of, for some of you I'm just getting the sense that you have been hiding a bit with this energy of being camouflaged, but there's still that energy of needing to speak out with that pop of blue. Are you clear on why you've been hiding? Are you clear on why you're holding back from what your intuition is actually saying? Because the guides are showing here that there's a door that needs to happen. But if you don't have clarity on why you're walking through, or clarity or on why you've been muting your voice, for those of you that have been in situations where maybe you feel like you need to blend in, the guys are saying come out, come out of that camouflage. Especially there's a redemption energy that keeps coming through, but come out of that camouflage, especially if you've been in a situation where someone has been maybe treating you in a particular way or speaking to you in a particular way, where you feel like you haven't been able to be your full self. Please use your voice is what the guides are saying here. Fully, use your voice.

Speaker 1:

Let's draw in a few more oracles here, and I actually want to draw in some African goddess energies Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the full moon and Leo Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the full moon and Leo. How nice, how nice is it too when you speak out of clarity, with good intention as well. You know, when you have or you've heard, or maybe even yourself from people that that you know they've taken some time to really think about it and everything just seems more clear and feels more clear. It's more direct. It's that feeling yeah, come out of that hiding butterflies. Okay, so we have the African goddess here, booyah Nindanya and this is Radical Rebirth.

Speaker 1:

Booyah Nihanda, beautiful energy, and you can see here she's with two lions. I just she's with two lions here, butterflies, perfect for that Leo energy. But you can see here she's holding up above her almost like a crown, like an energy crown, with multiple circles around her, multiple orbs around her, and she's standing in the jungle. And it says here radical rebirth. So let's just read here so Booyah Nahanda, she's the goddess of radical rebirth.

Speaker 1:

Her temple is the ancestors and her element is air. She was born around 1840 and she channeled a mundoro, an ancient royal lion spirit named nahanda, who has been incarnated by revolutionary Shana women for at least 500 years, heralded as Mbuya Nahanda or Grandmother Nahanda. This great ancestress was a healer who declared war against colonial occupation. How fitting is that for what's happening in politics right now? So her guidance says yes, you can stop the struggle. You can choose any moment to start over and be reborn Like the sun. You rise again and again. Her embodiment is dust yourself off, move forward and go for it again.

Speaker 1:

Life is about transition and change. You will fall on your face, change your mind and need to make a comeback again and again. Your face, change your mind and need to make a comeback again and again. Release the idea that you messed up. If things aren't perfect, stop waiting to be ready, make new choices and decisions. And her declaration is still our eyes yeah, that redemption energy that I talked about right Butterflies, where it's like speak out. There's a chance to start again here. And also, some of you are gaining so much clarity on why you have been holding back, why you have been just going with the crowd versus standing in your own voice. Beautiful energy Okay, we're just going to put these to the side. We'll come back to these, mmm. Beautiful energy, okay. At redemption, it's like redemption with a smile and also that colonial energy. There's so many pressuring energies.

Speaker 1:

I do hope everyone is doing well. If you're located in Los Angeles, here in the United States with the fires, I hope everyone is doing well. With everything that's happening, with deportations unexpectedly and a lot of radical shifts and changes that have been so disruptive, I really do hope everyone is watching after your spirit during this time and this energy of Booyah Nahanda. It speaks so clearly to that that radical rebirth of being able to show up again and again. So I do hope everyone is watching your spirit and really taking care of yourself during this time. I know I have definitely been extra on the rest the messages from the spiritual guides for the full moon and Leo. Full moon and Leo energies and again I will be drawing the special love reading, especially with this time of love after this, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the full moon and Leo Okay, butterflies.

Speaker 1:

So I'm seeing here, in your elevation of spirit, I'm seeing the wheel of fortune. I'm seeing the daughter of knives and your healing, I'm seeing the eight of knives and work and business endeavors. I'm seeing temperance here within your personal life, and I'm also seeing the 10 of knives and unexpected surprises. So there's a lot happening here. There's a lot of energy that could come off as unpleasant at first. So let me just get some clarifiers in here. Calling and clarifying energy. Calling and clarifying energy for the full moon in Leo.

Speaker 1:

I'm noticing there's a lot of communication right away, a lot of mindfulness that will be required around how you're speaking to others for the collective. There's a wheel of fortune within elevation of spirit, which is an anything can happen type energy. I'm seeing, though, when you have that wheel of fortune and your elevation of spirit, that's really showing that things could change with all of the realms this week, depending on how you act, what you do, how you speak. So that's a very everything that I say. From this point forward. What I'm saying is things could flip depending on what you do, as with all tarot, but there's just this energy of watchfulness, which is why I'm being very choosy with my words, so let's continue.

Speaker 1:

I'm seeing here with the daughter of knives and healing some of you may if you're not a Gemini Libra Aquarius, you may be connected to a feminine Gemini Libra Aquarius there's a very bold go after energy that some of you are having to do. We did see with the opening butterfly that there's this pop of blue and being able to really speak how you feel. And so, with this daughter of knives, the guides are asking you to speak how you feel, to say what's on your mind. That's how you heal, especially for those of you that have maybe been holding some of that energy within your body because of how you've been spoken to by others, or be feeling like you're restricted by others, maybe going into that camouflage energy. There's an energy here, with the three of wands, that you need to venture out and not be afraid to do something different.

Speaker 1:

In your speaking style, in your conversation style, you really need to be clear on why you're saying what you're saying as you're saying it. Again, having clarity on what you're doing and why you're doing it is important before you speak, so be able to really showcase a vision for why something is affecting you and why you're in a place of being so bold right now, or why you're not tolerating the same old same old. Be very clear on that, especially with this Three of Wands, because as you show that path for where you're going, others can follow that, and so this is an energy of you. Need to be bold, charge forward with the daughter of knives energy and also use your mind, use your logic. What do you know about the other person? What are they saying regularly? What are some habits that they actually have? Think about that and in this healing realm, is this a space you want to go deeper into, especially with the three of wands? Is this the right path for you? Do you need to continue to battle this conversation or do you need to kind of say what? You need to continue to work with this person, or if it's a family member or someone that's maybe a spouse or a co-parent, and you can't just leave the situation. Be very clear on where you're going and why you're saying it, so that everyone has an understanding of how to communicate, going forward now within your work and business endeavors.

Speaker 1:

I am seeing the Eight of Knives, which shows me like you are your own worst critic. Here you can see this woman is looking in the mirror and it's almost like she's not seeing the beauty of what she is. The Eight of Knives seeing that in a work position along with this High Priestess, reversed, is showing me you're not trusting yourself. So the guides are saying do trust yourself. Now, if you've seen other tarot before, sometimes the aid of knives, it's someone who's in a prison, right the door is open. And so the reminder here is that as you look at yourself each morning, speak life into yourself. Speak in the morning, spend time in your prayers, spend time in that dedication to really unlock what it is you're working to do work-wise. But this Eight of Knives is an opening to say step through that door. We are ready to lead you. The ancestors are ready to walk with you, but you first need to believe in yourself.

Speaker 1:

I am seeing within your personal life here butterflies that more patience is required. Some of you are waiting on something. Let's see what you're waiting on here. Butterflies, spiritual guys. What are the butterflies waiting on? Okay, I'm seeing here there's two energies that are coming through. The first is a friendship energy, with temperance and the three of cups. There's almost like this moment of togetherness that is coming for some of you in your personal relationships, where you're bringing together friend groups, and you've been waiting on that, or you're waiting for this moment to really reconnect with those people that you love, especially if you're single. Seeing temperance and this three of cups is showing me that some of you might find some sparks and love sparks and kind of connection through your current friendship groups, and if you are currently within a relationship, there's a need here to really lean more into bringing those friend groups together so that you can have that connection.

Speaker 1:

Now there's a lot of energy that some of you can see here butterflies with the Ten of Knives, with an unexpected surprises. Now remember that the Ten of Knives is an ending. It is before you get back to the Ace of Swords, which is great ideas freshness. So some of you are coming to an end of a cycle with some miscommunications. I am seeing here, though, that there's been some group communication and activity that has been happening without your knowing, and a lot of this has required quite a bit of strength for you to move through. So, again, if you feel like there's been someone who has been speaking about you or a group that has been speaking about you. Think through who that might be. Also, think through larger powers than yourself bringing in this energy of Mbuya Nahanda. Think about those very large, collective like government entities, colonialism type entities that have taken over people. There's a lot of disruption and things happening behind the scenes that people are not knowing about and, unfortunately, with this Five of Cups energy, there is a lot of emotional strife that's coming with that. People are feeling drained which we all have experienced during this time, depending on where you are in the world, and people are feeling like there's a little bit of hopelessness. That's happening.

Speaker 1:

The guides are showing the Leo representation of this full moon with the strength card. In this area, when you have such discourse, when you have such miscommunication, it does require a lot of collective strength from the collective, but also through the strength. Remember, with Leo Energy, there's a lot of good love and leadership. This week there's going to be new leadership. There's going to be new solutions. There's going to be that ability to really have that attention put on those organizations and put on those groups that are ready to bring people together. Remember that with Leo energy, it's about that self expression and it's about being able to travel and see things in new ways. So allow this energy to come out. But there will be a tension point here, unexpectedly for the collective as a whole.

Speaker 1:

Now, bringing that back to your personal life, butterflies, if you are in a situation where you feel like the communication is tough, go back to your healing and be clear on what you need to say and the direction for why you're saying it. Basically, back up what you're saying. Don't just come in with that fury, but back up what you're saying with that good strength. Okay, butterflies, I'm actually going to pull these to the side here. I'm actually going to pull these to the side here and we're going to focus from the collective week ahead we are going to shift into a love reading. So I'm actually going to keep this energy out of temperance as we go into this Valentine's day reading for the week ahead with this Leo Moon, now again with this Temperance energy and the Three of Cups kind of as our center here.

Speaker 1:

Temperance energy is a lot of patience, but I'm also seeing that some of you you don't have to wait as long as you might think you have to wait. You put yourself out there, get into those friend groups. There's gonna be some really good love that comes in. So I'm actually just gonna pull in a few more energies here, calling in messages from the spiritual guides for Valentine's Day. Loving energy with this full moon, leo. Love messages for Valentine's Day. Look at that butterflies, the lovers, lovers is coming out right away. I'm also seeing here Release. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let's just pull in one more energy here. Okay, so I'm seeing here the lovers release, transformation. I'm also bringing in the Queen of Cups, because she wanted to touch the table as well.

Speaker 1:

Now, although some of you have been and will be in this patient energy this week that reminder to either go deeper into your friendships if you're looking for love, or to just be more intentional about bringing in that connection if you're looking for love, or to just be more intentional about bringing in that connection if you're in a connected relationship. This lover's energy is so beautiful to see because you are in a space of being open, and for those of you that aren't in the space of openness yet, there's a call here to release the past, release those things that are not serving you, release those things that stay on your mind and really take control of your thoughts. You can see here there's all this fresh, pure energy that's coming through here with these flowers very clean, very white, very just, open energy that comes through that clear quartz crystal. You can see through it type energy and with this, when you have clarity, you can see through the situation. You can release those things that are not aligned with where you're going now and that's part of the transformation that's also coming out here. Some of you are coming into a point of significant experience where you're getting ready to step into new territory. You have to be able to learn from the past to be ready for that new transformation, especially with love, especially in opening your heart.

Speaker 1:

Now I can see here with the Queen of Cups there's very compassionate energy that's surrounding your love situations right now butterflies, a lot of very deep, intuitive energy that comes with the water energy of the Queen of Cups. She's so good at emotions, she's so good at understanding others, picking up on those small habits, and this is what you want when you're moving through transformation. You want to be able to have that knowledge, that intuitive knowledge of what others need. There's also a call here with the Queen of Cups to really nurture on yourself and to love on yourself. How are you taking care of your body? The Queen of Cups has such a natural, exuberant, soft energy about her. It's almost like she flows through with conversation and so, as you're connecting lovingly this week, have some flow to what you're doing.

Speaker 1:

Don't hold on to so much of the past that's maybe been attached to Valentine's Day or been attached to those old love situations. You have to release it, and if some of you are in a period where you feel like you know what, I am just focused on self-work, I'm just focused on what I need to do right now. Stay with that, but bring your friends in with this three of cups energy. Allow them to connect with you and allow them to really be able to bring in new energy, new ways maybe those galentines or malentines for those of you that are male identifying. How can you love on your friends and use that as a way of love, or love on your kids, for those of you that have kids? While you're in the space of being a bit more patient with what's coming in, okay, let's bring in a few romance oracles here butterflies Calling in romantic energies for the full moon, and Leo and Valentine's Day week Calling in romantic energies. This is a week of truth is what I'm seeing here. Butterflies, this is a week of truth. Let's bring in one more here.

Speaker 1:

Okay, now, for some of you, butterflies, there is this energy of being mindful of deception. We saw that here with the 10 of knives that was coming in. Some of you definitely are ending a cycle, especially if you're in a very combative relationship. That's what's coming through here. If you're in a space where there's a lot of tension, you maybe aren't as kind with your words. We're seeing the Seven of Swords and also seeing deception across the collective. Some of you will be in a space where it's just like oh, but you've already known this, that's the thing that's coming through. Some of you just know Some of you. This does not apply to you at all.

Speaker 1:

I'm speaking to those with this deception that's coming out of someone wearing a false mask here. You can see, with this first love card, you have already known, you felt this, you haven't felt secure, you haven't seen the reliability that you would like. So it's important to note this and be mindful of that energy. I'm just going to bring in another one for deception. You know, soulmate is coming out and there's this energy of some of you. You've connected with this person previously. I'm getting the energy of someone who's been in a very long relationship, like maybe 10 to 15 years plus within your relationship. You might be in your 40s right now, but there's a period of dishonesty that's happening right now.

Speaker 1:

This does not mean healing cannot happen. The guides are very intentional in saying that this does not mean healing cannot happen, because you do feel like this is your soulmate. But is this what you really want? And this is where, for some of you, the temperance might be coming in. Is this really worth it? Now, for some of you, it's saying this is worth waiting for divine timing. Is that work in your love life? But crossing this over, this is coming on top of release. So, for those of you that have released that old energy, release that old love in your life, just wait, just keep waiting. It is coming, the transformation that you have done.

Speaker 1:

The guides are saying keep an open mind and also remember your soulmate, that person, that connection, or multi-partners for those of you within multiple partner relationships that might differ from what your usual type is. So be open to something different. Butterflies is so be open to something different, butterflies. And also here I'm seeing that there's a deep passion that's coming in for some of you. Some of you feel like you're, in this past life connection, very nurturing, almost like you have known each other through multiple lifetimes. It's such a deep energy. It's almost like a speechless type energy when you feel it and I'm also seeing with this relationship that some of you may have needed to forgive to get to this point of understanding. It says as you release and heal the past, you experience more love in your present moments. We're seeing that here with this release. There's a call here to really let go of things that are not serving you during this time. Let go of those things that have hindered you and held you back, that just aren't important for this moment, that aren't serving the path of where you're going, aren't serving the path of where you're going.

Speaker 1:

Before we draw on your closing oracles, I want to draw on your a closing love oracle to round out this love reading. Let me know if you want more love readings, whatever it is. I can go deeper in certain areas. Let me know which areas you want me love readings, whatever it is. I can go deeper in certain areas. Let me know which areas you want me to go deeper in. I'd love to hear from you on that Calling and messages from the spiritual guides for the full moon and Leo loving energy for Valentine's Day.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I'm seeing this energy of a full moon and you can see that there's a tree underneath and there are three branches underneath here, or three trunks, I should say, that are underneath here. Here, or three trunks, I should say, that are underneath here. I'm feeling called to bring in the three of cups with this energy, this friendship energy. This is a very specific message, but are some of you in a friendship trio that has turned into love? Possibly, uh, that something that's coming in there, a friendship trio that has turned into love? That does not apply to everyone, but there's something coming in there. For others of you, this is just friendship, a very supportive energy that's coming through here and with this full moon.

Speaker 1:

It reads what are you today? What you are today was greatly influenced by your past thoughts and attitudes, and your present thoughts and attitudes are the building blocks of your tomorrow. Therefore, be mindful and aware of your thoughts. Positive thoughts now will help create a brighter future, because every thought is a seed. If you plant weeds, you can't expect to harvest beautiful flowers. I'll read that again. What you are today was greatly influenced by your past thoughts and attitudes, and your present thoughts and attitudes are the building blocks of your tomorrow. Therefore, be mindful and aware of your thoughts. Positive thoughts now will help create a brighter future, building blocks of your tomorrow. Therefore, be mindful and aware of your thoughts. Positive thoughts now will help create a brighter future, because every thought is a seed. If you plant weeds, you can't expect to harvest beautiful flowers. How are you thinking, butterflies? We have seen this multiple times throughout the collective reading and also throughout the love reading that we had here.

Speaker 1:

Just going back to some of our opening oracles, as you move through this week of love and connection and this bold Leo energy, be mindful of how you're speaking, butterflies. Have that clarity in how you're speaking and make sure you're showing people a clear path on where you're going. Now, if something is closing, know that the door that closes for you is the wrong door and the door that opens for you is the right door. You must trust yourself, butterflies. We saw that, especially for those of you that are moving through work and business endeavors with this aid of knives, energy. The guides are saying. You need to trust your intuition, you need to trust yourself and also, as you're speaking vocally, show that path. But anything can happen.

Speaker 1:

This week. There's a beautiful wheel of fortune, energy which some like, some don't like, that kind of mysterious chance energy. But why don't you just, you know, flip it a little bit and take a chance on yourself spiritually this week. Take a chance and being bold in what you want to do, connecting with those people that you want to connect with, sending that message, sending that love. Note Be bold in doing these things this week.

Speaker 1:

Butterflies note Be bold in doing these things this week. Butterflies. And also remember that energy of Booyah Nahanda, that radical rebirth. How are you just knowing that you will rise, that you've done it before, you can do it again and also it's okay to reinvent yourself again and again, as Booyah Nahanda has done. Having that strong Leo lioness energy, how can you bring that kind of regal spiritual crown into all that you do? The freedom of five, this Leo energy is so strong.

Speaker 1:

Within this reading, I hope you all have felt that energy butterflies through this expression, through the spiritual expression this week and let's close things out the unicorn calling in messages from the spiritual guides for the full moon and Leo. So, closing out this reading this week, butterflies for this full moon and Leo, I'm first seeing passion here. It says do what excites you, get fired up about your life and increase your energy levels. Yes, butterflies and abundance here. With this beautiful rainbow, butterfly, rainbow unicorn here. The abundance here. Enjoy the bounty of life. Your supply is unlimited. Trust yourself. Butterflies, blessings are coming to you.

Speaker 1:

With that, that is all I'm being called to read at this time. With that, that is all I'm being called to read at this time. I want to thank you all so much for connecting with me during this loving week, during the strong full moon in Leo. Again, happy Valentine's Day.
