I created this tarot reading to help me see what experiences I need to get through to transition from this year's energy to next year's energy. I'm using my tarot year cards to reflect my personal year energy. Would you like to try this reading?
First, you have to find your tarot year card for the current year and next year. Your year tarot card = birth month + birth day + current year Reduce to a number between 1 and 22. The number reveals the tarot Major Arcana card for your current year. If you receive 22, then your tarot card of the year is The Fool. Repeat this process to calculate your next year tarot card, only substitute next year for current year. EXAMPLE: Let's say your birthday is March 26. For the year 2018, your tarot card would be: 3 + 26 + 2018 = 2047 = 2 + 0 + 4 + 7 = 13 Death card. Next year, your tarot card will be 14 Temperance. Once you've figured out your tarot year cards, shuffle your tarot deck of choice with the intention: What experiences are necessary to transition from [current year tarot card] energy into [next year tarot card] energy? Next, go through the deck to find the two cards. Pull them out PLUS all the Major Arcana cards between them. These cards show your life path and the energies you will flow through to evolve to the next stage of your development. This can be an end of year or new year reading OR do it on your birthday. The tarot year card is based on your numerology personal year which technically begins on your birthday.

Do you buy planners each year? I do and I have every intention of using them but I never do. So this time I'm not even trying to use it for organization. I'm using it to track the symbols, signs, and messages I receive from the Universe. This method turns my planner into a vision board, memory keeper, symbol tracker, and divination tool. Would you like to learn more about this process? Join my Magical Playbook Planner class, FREE and only available to students enrolled in MAKE THIS MAGICAL PLAYBOOK.

Can you achieve more by focusing on one project at a time? This week, we FOCUS. How do we focus? Pursue ONE project at a time. Eliminate unnecessary details. Through dedication and perseverance. In Week 1, we made room for this Human Design experiment in our lives. In Week 2, we made a list of projects and opportunities we were attracting. In Week 3, we determined if we had the energy to pursue those projects and opportunities. Now, in Week 4 (the final week), we choose ONE project/opportunity that gave the strongest positive body response. This is what we’ll focus on this week. Make a list of actions that need to be performed for that project. If you’re a Manifesting Generator, this should be easy because you have the ability to make the most efficient task lists. You know exactly what’s necessary and what isn’t necessary in the steps to perform any task. Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows Now that you have your list of actions, dive into it with gusto and with laser focus. When we focus our attention on a project, the energy of the project expands. I’ve seen this in my life several times. When I moved to a new city with a goal of teaching bellydance for the first time, I laser focused on this wish. I made cold calls to find places to teach. I put up flyers. I told people what I was interested in doing. There was nothing else at that time that had my attention like that pursuit. And it paid off. I attracted the right people who put me into the right places and soon I was teaching 6 bellydance classes a week as well as weekend workshops, and had hundreds of students. Put Aside Extra Tasks or Projects Any extraneous activity or another shiny project that comes your way this week should be set aside until you complete this list of actions. Once the list of actions is completed, pick another project to focus on. If you have a long-term project (months or years), practice devoting time and energy to it every day, in some way. It should be the lead project even if you must tackle other projects at the same time. Notice Your Circadian Rhythms It’s also important to respond to each task using your body wisdom and Inner Authority. Some days or at specific times of the day you may not have the energy for a particular task. Circadian rhythms determine our levels of alertness throughout the day. If you pay attention to your body, you'll notice when you have the energy for each task. Multitasking Is Okay If you’re a Manifesting Generator, you MUST multi-task. It’s a unique part of our Human Design and without it we can become frustrated and lose efficiency. But remember that multi-tasking means doing multiple tasks simultaneously, not multiple projects. It’s fine to tackle several tasks on your project list in the same day (or hour). Focus On What You Enjoy Another way to focus is to spend more time doing things you’ve enjoyed from this challenge. For example, I’ve been putting a lot more focus into my musical lessons on the mbira and dumbek; doing my yoga divination every day; and learning rock painting. Focusing on these body-driven activities helps me exhaust my sacral energy so at the end of the day I feel satisfied and sleep through the night. JOURNAL PROMPTS Where is your current focus? What shiny things distract you? Where is more dedication and perseverance necessary? When does your body want to perform tasks? What will help you maintain your focus on your selected project? ACTIONS

Can you respond from the body instead of the mind? This week, we RESPOND. How do we respond? From our bodies. With a grunt for Yes or No. From a place of Divine timing. Responding comes from your Human Design Inner Authority. Although we all have different Inner Authorities, they all basically originate from one of two actions: (1) using your body or (2) using a sounding board. Respond From The Body Instead Of The Mind Responding from the mind often sounds like this: I should...; I must...; Everyone's expecting me to ...; I'm already obligated myself to.... Instead of responding from the mind, this week we are practicing responding from the body which relates to how we FEEL and how much ENERGY we have for a particular task. If you're a Generator you're probably responding from the Sacral center, even if you're not aware of it. If you grunt Huh or Hmmm, or Mmmmm a lot, then you're already on the right track! Follow those grunts. They are your most authentic response. They are telling you whether you have the energy or interest to pursue something. Ask Yourself Yes/No Questions Practice asking yourself yes/no questions this week to determine your needs and desires. Use your body/feelings/grunts to get your answers. Here are some example questions: Do I have the energy for this task right now? Do I need to rest now? Is this creating frustration? Is this creating satisfaction? Use A Sounding Board Sometimes, we also need a sounding board to make a decision. This is when we have a good friend or partner we can talk to and we run through all of the options verbally. Once we've heard ourselves go through the options and choices, we can make a decision. In either case, whether you are using your body or a sounding board, ask yourself if the action you're considering will lead you to frustration or satisfaction. Practice Saying No Practice saying NO to people and projects that don’t resonate with your energy. Also, pay attention to your inner sense of timing rather than external deadlines. Instead of just pushing through your to-do list, check in with your natural response to find out if it’s the right time to pursue something (even chores like cleaning the kitchen). Gather the list of people, projects, and opportunities you attracted last week and respond to everything on the list using your Inner Authority. JOURNAL PROMPTS What does responding from the mind look like? What does responding from the body feel like? Where are you on a scale between frustration and satisfaction? What is your body saying YES to in this moment? What is your body saying NO to in this moment? ACTIONS

Can you relax and receive instead of initiating? This week we WAIT. What are we waiting for? A question. An interaction. A sign or symbol. This week, relax and receive. Allow people, projects and opportunities to come to you. Waiting is really about the right timing to receive and manifest. It doesn’t mean inaction. It just means reacting to what you encounter instead of initiating first. Here's what this looks like: Instead of planning new posts for your Instagram feed, wait to see what your followers have liked the most from the previous week. Wait for your followers to leave comments and questions on your posts and create new posts based on those questions and comments. Wait to see what the people you follow are doing. Then make a related post and tag them. Make A List of Ideas & Outcomes If you have ideas for new projects, services, or products, or if there are specific outcomes you'd like to manifest, write them down and forget about them. When the idea or outcome is ready for your action, i.e., when there is Divine Timing, it will find you -- it will come back to you in the external environment through an interaction, a question, or a sign. Keep A Waiting Journal Start a new journal where you record EVERYTHING that you attract this week as a creative magic maker. You might be surprised how much you're attracting when you actually write everything down. Write down every question and interaction you receive related to your creative magic making. Practice observing. Pay attention to signs and symbols. Notice when you’re getting an intuitive hit. You’ll usually see or notice something 2 - 3 times when this is happening. Record it in your Waiting Journal. This week, make a list of people, projects, and opportunities (questions, interactions, signs ) you've attracted. Don’t act on the list yet. Be Quiet It's helpful to practice mindfulness and quiet your energy to train yourself to be patient and allow. Spend time in silence just observing, meditating, and feeling. Manifesting Generators, in particular, have trouble slowing down and doing traditional meditation. Try some type of moving meditation or practice an activity that allows your mind to shut off and your body to be automatic pilot. JOURNAL PROMPTS How does waiting make you feel? Why? What opportunities have you been missing by initiating first? What will you gain by waiting? What signs and symbols are you receiving? What will you hear if you sit in silence? ACTIONS

Can you create space to allow greater awareness of opportunities? This week, we CLEAR. Why do we clear? To create space for new things. To become aware of new opportunities. To release what no longer brings joy and pleasure. The challenge begins on August 26 during the full moon so we can use this week to start emptying our cup. This week is about creating space so we can be more aware of the awesome opportunities the Universe is sending us. For Generators, our aura attracts exactly what we need and desire. But when we are busy, busy, busy, it's difficult to stay open to these blessings. The Manifesting Generator's restlessness and need for constant activity also prevents us from noticing signs and symbols telling us to change direction. And when we over plan and over schedule, it limits our spontaneity to react to incoming stimuli. Use the prompts and actions below for practice and self-exploration. JOURNAL PROMPTS What needs to be released? What is your clutter hiding? When space is cleared, what will the emptiness allow? Are you addicted to activity? What’s beneath the restlessness? ACTIONS

Desert Dreamwalk Oracle is a 50-card deck featuring photographic digital collage images set in a desert landscape. Photos from Unsplash.com and Pixabay.com were edited, using several apps on my iPad, to create a simple visual scene. My intention was to create an oracle deck with keywords and images that flowed together seamlessly into a single message or story.
My original idea for this deck was to blend the Create This Oracle Deck challenges from 2017 and 2018 together. You’ll notice that the card names and meanings relate to many of the challenge prompts from both years. The deck is an homage to the myriorama effect in the Oracle Dessuart, a deck I owned many years ago. Finally, the cards were also designed as a complementary deck to another one still in progress, Oracle of the Ancients. It’s a deck featuring an extraterrestrial or planetary themes and I wanted this deck to complement it with a terrestrial theme. You can purchase the deck and accompanying pouch from my Printerstudio shop-space! Download the brief guide to the deck HERE. Are you a Manifesting Generator? Is it easier for you to juggle three or more tasks than just one? Can you complete 5 projects in the time it takes most people to complete 1? Does waiting and relaxing make you crazy? Do new ideas come to you easily and frequently? Maybe too frequently? Do you feel like you’re always ahead of the curve, waiting for people to catch up? If you answered YES to these questions, you might be a MANIFESTING GENERATOR. This is one of 4 types based on the Human Design system. This year I’ve been attempting to live within my human design for a life with more satisfaction and less frustration. As is the case with most MANIFESTING GENERATORs, when I study something I turn it into a project. So, I’m developing a 4-week challenge, CREATIVE MAGIC MAKERS MANIFESTING GENERATOR CHALLENGE, beginning at the full moon this month to help me get aligned with my Human Design energy. Would you like to join me? Go to humandesignamerica.com to calculate your (FREE) Human Design Birth Chart and find out if you’re a MANIFESTING GENERATOR. WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE ABOUT? Each week we’ll be practicing actions related to our Human Design. Some of these actions may feel uncomfortable and radically different from what you expect. There are prompts for journaling or divination along with actions to take each week based on these four steps: 1️⃣ CLEAR - creating space to allow awareness of opportunities 2️⃣ WAIT - relaxing and receiving instead of initiating 3️⃣ RESPOND - responding from the gut instead of the mind 4️⃣ FOCUS - achieving more by focusing on one project at a time WHO IS THIS CHALLENGE FOR? The challenge is for creative and magical (woo woo) folks who make things. It will apply to all GENERATORs. Everyone is welcome to join in and most of the prompts will be universal but each type has a specific strategy to follow so just know the steps or strategies I present may not work as well for your type! However, I think the process may be beneficial for anyone (especially if you know how to adapt it to your specific Human Design). HOW WILL THE CHALLENGE WORK? I'll do a blog post here for each week of the challenge, featuring prompts and actions. You can use the prompts for journaling or for divination; you can pull cards in response to the questions. The actions will give you something to practice for the week. WHAT ARE THE HUMAN DESIGN TYPES? There are four types: MANIFESTOR, PROJECTOR, GENERATOR, REFLECTOR. The GENERATOR type is comprised of two types: Pure Generators and Manifesting Generators. If we imagine the process of making a movie, here's everyone's role: MANIFESTOR (8% of population) has the idea, finds funding and hires a Producer. To manifest, they initiate and inform. PROJECTOR (22% of population) is the director of the movie. PROJECTORs are guides and coaches. To manifest, they wait for recognition and invitation. GENERATORs (70% of population) are responsible for everything connected to lights, camera and action, meaning they represent the actors and the entire crew. To manifest, they wait and respond. REFLECTORs (1% of population ) represent the movie critic and the people who see the movie and decide whether it's good or not. To manifest, they sync with the lunar cycle. CAN'T EVERYONE MANIFEST? Yes, we all have manifesting potential, but Human Design is about HOW people manifest. For example, we’re often told to “make things happen” or “go for it” but these messages are counterproductive for Generators who don’t manifest through their own inspiration or initiation. I’ve seen this play out in my life a hundred times but didn’t understand it until I discovered my Human Design. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PURE GENERATORS AND MANIFESTING GENERATORS? Both are Generators, but Manifesting Generators have a defined Throat center which means we're here to bring things into form. What this actually looks like is we create a LOT of stuff. Every day. Every week. Every month. Think about how many books Stephen King has written. He's a Manifesting Generator. Pure Generators are great at working for long periods of time to create sustainable ongoing projects. Oprah is a Pure Generator. I believe Pure GENERATORs and MANIFESTING GENERATORs have different workflow concerns too. Pure GENERATORs are often challenged by procrastination, creative blocks, and hitting plateaus. The main struggles of MANIFESTING GENERATORs involve frustration from waiting for others; starting but not completing projects; and creating a ton of stuff but not manifesting in the way we wish. HELPFUL LINKS
Most are conditioned to go out and manifest to create their success in the world, this is however is only correct for the Manifestor Strategy and Manifestors are only 7% of humanity. The other 93% have a Strategy related to some form of waiting (Wait to Respond, Wait for the Invitation or Wait for the Cycle of the Moon). The Basics: View With Free Chart [Human Design] helps us identify ways of working with our energy that invite more flow, grace and ease into our lives, and helps us identify which behaviors we’re engaging in that are actually creating resistance, frustration and overwhelm. So...WTF Is Human Design? We’re meant to let our bodies talk to us. And if we tune in and LISTEN, our authority will guide us toward what is meant for us (and keep us the eff away from what is not). WTF Is Human Design Lesson 1: Let Me Hear Your Body Talk Which type you are totally depends on which centers you have that are open and which are closed, and which are connected via channels. Each type has their own strategy for decision making. WTF Is Human Design Lesson 3: She's Got A Type... Manifesting Generators need to have several streams of business simultaneously. If they are forced to stick with one thing, they often self-sabotage. What Is Your Business By Design Strategy? When that thing shows up in your reality – for example in a song lyric, a newspaper headline, a conversation, something on Facebook – then you can respond to the external stimulation by deciding if you want to go ahead or not. Marketing By Design: Manifesting Generators In my latest online class, DOODLES FOR DIVINATION, you'll learn techniques for creating and interpreting intentional doodles for self-discovery and guidance. Through videos, sample doodle readings, and a step-by-step worksheet, you'll discover all the secrets of your doodles. When you open your heart and mind and allow your doodle to flow, it will express your deepest wishes and expectations, your past, your present, and your future. Did you know your doodles are often predictive? Once you know what to look for, doodling can be incredibly revealing. You'll learn...
A QUICK DOODLE READING This doodle by Julie Hesmondhalgh shows the actress is a minimalist who prefers simple surroundings. She has a desire to bring more attention to herself in the public spotlight. She's leaving the safety of the past and her private persona behind to achieve that goal.
Here's a challenge prompt from Sacred Awakening 2018 @imogenwaltersintuitive. I've recycled it to get new insights using the Vision Board in my Magical Playbook. I selected all cards at random from the Oracle of Mystical Moments deck. I was pleasantly surprised to find Sea Witch in the Vision position. This card represents joy of play, wonder, and going with the flow. The rest of the reading suggests that in order to stay in a state of childlike wonder, I need to be imaginative and in a constant state of transformation, adjusting to change and gathering inspiration from every experience.
Then I chose a few cards at random from my Haiku Oracle too, to answer the original prompt question. They answered perfectly: a bee veiled in morning mist stillness To me, this poem is about quieting my constant need for activity so there's a transition from an active state (a bee) to a state of inner quiet (stillness). |
