New Moon in February

For this New Moon reading  I've used the Angel dreams Oracle by Doreen Virtue. Although I've bought this deck about a year ago, I've never worked with it. Yesterday evening I was sitting in my room looking at my decks, wondering which on I would chose for my New Moon reading and this deck seemed to call : “Pick me Pick me!”  Who am I not to react to such an explicit desire. So I picked  it up, gave the deck thorough shuffle and drew two cards:

Release: Nettle – Boundaries, Caution

This cards urges me to let go of too rigid boundaries. They will prevent me from being flexible and  adaptable. People who want to come closer might get hurt by irritated remarks or cranky moods. The Nettle grows everywhere and excludes other plants from its colonies. And this is something I don’t want. Although I need being alone as much as I need to breath, I do have to be careful not to isolate myself and shut everyone out like the little Nettle fairy in the background.

Embrace:  Lucid dreams – Awareness , Opportunities

This is a bright and optimistic card to pull for the Embrace position. With her arms open wide, she is ready to receive. She knows she can create her own path by following her intuition and making the right choices along the way. She is open to the possibilities, presented to her. During a lucid dream you are able to change and/or create situations in and the surroundings of you dreamscape.
Some philosophies state this earthly life is  but a dream. If it this is true I sure wish  to be able to dream lucid.
(After the reading I suddenly made the connection between the starry borders and The Star as my guide for my 40 Day Challenge start and I smiled...)

  1. Nice connection to your Star card! :) I have lived part of my life as that Nettle, with extreme boundaries and walls in place to protect myself. Unfortunately I also kept out what was joyful and beautiful... I do think some boundaries are good, but not the kind that keep me in solitary confinement!

    1. I've been the same; putting on walls so thick and without any windows or doors. It was safe and I needed it but gradually it became more sad then safe. As always there has to be balance.

  2. Interesting deck Ellen.

    Mmm in the past my walls weren't thick enough. I think I've managed to get my boundaries in place now and still have an open heart without brick and mortar. Too many walls in this world. <3

    1. I was quite surprised by it too
      It was very difficult for me to open my heart again but it feels so much more me

  3. I love your comment about life being a dream, and us dreaming it lucidly! Wishing you luck in getting the balance right between healthy boundaries and being open. Like Catherine says, good to have barriers, but they don't need to be impenetrable walls :D
