,

I know you’re dying to discover the secrets of the Full Bloom Summer Reading, bursting with excitement to find out the cards you chose. And we’ll get to them in a second, I swear.

I’ll just say, very quickly, that I’m proud of you, and I recognize your ambition. (That’s a really good thing.)

And, because I recognize your ambition, I want to offer you a chance to learn even more.

If you want to, you can ask me to complete an ADVANCE FALL READING for you, too.

In this Reading, I’ll look beyond the summer and into the months of September, October and November, asking you to draw three tarot cards this time. Each one will give deep insight into what lies a little further ahead.

This is a rare chance – I usually wouldn’t try to divine so far into the future as it’s a lot of psychic effort and energy.

But for you? It’s worth it. You’ve already shown me that you’re invested in your future fate by claiming this Full Bloom Summer Reading, and now, I’d like to give you even more.

Wouldn’t you like to know where you’re heading? Which pitfalls you might be wise to avoid?

At the end of this message, I’ll give you another chance to increase your insight…

YOUR FULL BLOOM SUMMER READING

Here are the cards you drew when you requested this Reading,        :

• The Star, Upright
• Three of Cups, Upright
• Eight of Swords, Reversed
• Judgment, Upright

Now, let’s see what they mean in the context of your extra-special sun-blessed summer…

Card Number One: The Star, Upright

The first card you selected to represent your Summer, from this moment in June right the way to the end of August, was The Star (upright). 

I’m thrilled that I’ve been proven right about your fate this season so quickly.

The Star? It’s a brilliant, stunning and exciting first pick.

Upright, this card represents important concepts like hope, belief and renewed faith. It speaks of a positive transformation, and it’s easy to see who will transform.

You! Obviously.

You’ve been stuck on one level for a while, and you’re about to amp things up in a way even you probably won’t expect.

Specifically, I can see a life-changing night coming to the forefront. A night that I’d expect to occur within the next three weeks.

There’s a reason this card is first – a feeling in your heart that you’re ready to change (yourself AND your life) precedes anything else this summer.

A huge and surging hope for the future. Probably the same feeling that led you to requesting this Reading.

The renewed hope you feel and the change that comes to your life because of this feeling will primarily be contained to your personal sphere, but the effects will bleed into your professional life, too – in a good way!

Card Number Two: Three of Cups, Upright

If card one is the effect, card two is the cause. The extra detail that lends some new context to the story of a changing, happier        . 

Our first card from the Minor Arcana enters the Reading now, and it’s another brilliant one. Upright, the Three of Cups is all about interpersonal connection. About strong platonic friendships and a deep inner sense of community.

Nobody can genuinely thrive alone,        , and this summer, it seems like you definitely won’t have to.

You’ll make new friends and strengthen old alliances, and the hope in your heart will grow ever more robust, like a candle flame fanning into a bonfire.

The trigger for your change will be internal, yes, but it will come to fruition with the help of a vast and interconnected support system. 

Given the appearance of this card and your knowledge of its appearance, my best advice is that you remember to get out there. To actively foster connections.

Sometimes, knowing you will make great friends stops you from taking active steps to find them. If you do that here, I fear you’ll negate the prediction, and the friendships won’t come to you at all.

(Which is the last thing I want for you and the last thing you want for yourself.)

Card Number Three: Eight of Swords, Reversed 

It really is going to be a bumper summer for you,        . 

I couldn’t describe any of the cards you’ve drawn so far as even remotely negative, and card three doesn’t buck the trend.

Here, we find the Eight of Swords, another from the Minor Arcana, and the first (and only, you’ll soon discover) reversed draw.

Though the Eight of Swords is quite a negative card in upright form, when reversed, it represents freedom of thought and self-appreciation.

A deeper understanding and acceptance of who you are should settle over you by early August at the latest – that’s what I can see when I touch a hand to the card and picture your face.

In part, this will come from the same place as cards one and two. From connection, community and a new sense of hope.

But it’ll also be down to some hard work that you’re finally willing to put in. With more energy than you’ve had in the past few years, you’ll face the self-image demons that’ve been holding you back, and you’ll well and truly take them down.

I’m proud of you. I already was, but now I’m extra, extra proud.

Let’s finish this Reading…

Card Number Four: Judgment, Upright

Last but not least, we come to a card which is a) not negative, once again, meaning this is a wholly positive and absolutely glowing Reading and b) clearly indicative of the last phase of your summer. 

When the changes have happened, and the internal emotional shifts are behind you, you’ll come to the place that this last draw – Judgment, upright – represents.

You’ll come to a place of self-awakening and deep inner reflection.

While a lot of what you’ll go through this summer will be very active, focused on chasing dreams and making adjustments to the way you live, you’ll end on a contemplative note.

I think that’s quite a gift,        .

Every balanced life consists of periods of action and reflection, and clearly, your life will soon contain this balance (if it doesn’t already). 

That concludes your Full Bloom Summer Reading,        , and I’m hopeful it’s been full of helpful insights.

Insights that’ll help you navigate your sunny summer with confidence and inner fortitude that you wouldn’t otherwise have had.

Here’s the FREE gift I promised you, another chance to benefit from the sun’s power…

YOUR SOLAR INSTINCT ALIGNMENT

Instinct is a powerful, powerful thing. In my experience, it should never be ignored. Or second-guessed. Or clouded.

But it so easily can be! Gut feelings come and go so fast that they’re a blessing and a curse.

I know you’ve struggled with self-doubt in the past,         (who hasn’t, really?), so I chose this FREE gift for you. I thought it would help you be bold and make the right choices, especially this summer when you’re sure to make some big moves.

Here’s your Solar Obelisk:

And here are the instructions you’ll need to follow to complete your Solar Instinct Alignment and connect closely with your gut… 

5. As I’ve mentioned already, you’ll need to complete this Alignment outdoors, at sunrise OR sunset. Find the time that works best for you out of the two and prepare in advance of its arrival.
6. Print out your Solar Obelisk.
7. Lay a pale, neutral-colored sheet/blanket/towel flat on the ground outside (ideally one you don’t mind getting dirty, of course). Place the unfolded image of the Obelisk in the center of this sheet/blanket/towel.
8. As sunrise/sunset begins, plant your feet right at the edge of the sheet/blanket/towel.
9. Stretch your arms up high, press them together in prayer, and bring them slowly back down to your chest.
10. Lower your hands and, as slowly and smoothly as possible, lean down to meet the Solar Obelisk, pressing your palms against it and moving into the yoga position known as Downward-Facing Dog.
11. Listen to the natural sounds that surround you, look down at the Obelisk and whisper, after a few moments have passed in silence: Connect to my core. Charged in the light, show me what’s right.
12. Bring your body further down, turning Downward-Facing Dog into Child’s Pose with your palms against the Obelisk. Try to touch your forehead to the Obelisk, too.
13. After a few more moments of silence, whisper again: Connect to my core. Charged in the light, show me what’s right.
14. Count down from 60 in your head, and then stand, completing the Alignment.
15. Store your Obelisk somewhere safe, and repeat these steps if you feel yourself once again beginning to lose touch with your instincts and gut feelings.

ANOTHER READING FOR ANOTHER SEASON

You might remember, a while back, that I offered you the chance to claim another reading – your Advance Fall Reading. If that’s still something you’d like, now’s your opportunity.

I know you’ll do great things with whatever information I manage to uncover. That’s just who you are!

Your loving friend,
