Pick A Card Reading: General Advice

Today's Pick A Card reading is about general life advice. Take a look at the photo and pick the stack that calls to you. Then scroll down for the reading.

Stack 1

It's time to consider saving a little money if you can. You never know when you may need it. Try to cut out excessive spending or try to find ways to earn extra money on the side that you can put back. Having a savings "just in case" is very responsible and handy. Reassess your relationship with money and practice gratitude so that you can be rewarded with more.

Something from your past is resurfacing or is about to resurface in your life. This would be a positive thing from the past, not a negative thing. Perhaps you are seeing family that you haven't seen in many years, reconnecting with childhood friends, or a former lover is coming back into the picture. Whatever the case may be, the cards say this is not a negative thing. It's a positive feeling of nostalgia and remembering good times.

Stack 2

It's time to stop dreaming and start planning. If there was something you've been thinking about doing, but have not acted on it, make a plan of action now. Ask yourself what steps you can take to get to where you want to go. It's important to take time in planning before making any moves so that things go smoothly.

The cards indicate that it won't be easy to make it to your goals. You will have to work for what you want. But anything worth having takes time and effort. With each test you become stronger and wiser and a better person. You can do this.

Stack 3

You are in a bit of a dark place right now. You may feel trapped or feel like you can't do anything to change your current circumstances. This is a time of hopelessness for you. Your thoughts are perpetuating your reality by making you feel even more upset about your circumstances.

This may be causing some conflicts between you and other people in your life. Take a moment to write down everything you are grateful for, no matter how small, each day. Do your best to be positive. You can take yourself out of this situation. It may seem like all hope is lost, but it's not. Just don't give up. Things can and will turn around if you believe and try.

Stack 4

You may have recently suffered a loss, or been betrayed by a loved one. It hurts right now, like a deep wound. These things are a part of life, and good times will come back. Just be patient.

The cards say a new opportunity is right around the corner. You may even already be seeing signs of everything turning around. You may experience a new job, new relationship, or just a positive change in your current situation. It's already coming to you.

Stack 5

Right now, you are working hard toward achieving what you want in life. You are taking action and all the necessary steps to get things done. This is a big goal that you are trying to get to. Know that your hard work will pay off.

A new love relationship is coming to you soon. Be on the lookout for that. This will really turn your life upside down in a good way.

Stack 6

You are working alongside others for a purpose or to complete a goal. This could be anyone: friends, family, coworkers, teammates. Whatever the case is, the cards are saying there is a positive collaboration taking place. This card points to success.

You will go on to work even more on improving yourself and your skills. This could be about school or work. Maybe you are heading back to school or getting an internship. Your success is coming, but the cards say you will be working for a while, completing tasks and getting experience.

Crystals You Need For The Eclipse July 2nd

There will be a total solar eclipse July 2nd. Depending on where you live, you may only see a partial eclipse. There is also a new moon in Cancer. Things are a bit crazy right now.

So hold onto your crystals, because this might get a little crazy. But which crystals should you hold onto the most? I'm gonna tell you.

New Moon And Solar Eclipse Meaning

A new moon is all about new beginnings. You may be leaving behind the old and making way for the new right now. You can expect beginnings, but also endings. Emotions will be shaken up a bit as things shift. You may been feeling a lot of different and weird energy symptoms as well.

Which Crystals Do You Need?

With endings and beginnings come emotions, especially with the water sign Cancer being involved. Let yourself feel whatever emotions arise at this time. You may feel vulnerable. Some things from the past that you thought you cleared may come back up.

Tourmalinated quartz is a good stone for clearing out old negative energy and getting your whole energy system moving again. If you don't have tourmalinated quartz, you can use black tourmaline. The effects are slightly different, but it will still help with clearing out negative energy that may come up.

Some more great stones for clearing out negative and old, stuck energy are opalite and obsidian.

I recommend jade during this time to give you some luck for the new beginnings that are coming. You want to focus on what you are thankful for and keep a lucky stone around to help bring in good and positive changes.

What To Do If You Feel Overwhelmed

If you are feeling some overwhelming energy and need to get rid of some of that, use red jasper, tigereye, and blue lace agate. This is a mixture of calming and grounding stones which can bring relief to anyone experiencing too much energy flow at the time.

You can also sit in meditation. Grounding meditations are very useful right now. Keeping yourself connected to the earth will help ground out any energy that you can't handle.

Be careful about who you spend your time with right now as well. Some people are just energy drainers and we know this from being around them. They can only make you feel worse at this time. Take care of yourself first.

A nice epsom salt or sea salt bath will help you feel more centered and calm.

How Long Does The Energy Last?

Most people will feel the energy of an eclipse and new moon for a few days before and after the event. Plan on this energy sticking around for at least a week. During this time, stay in tune with your body and what you are feeling. Take breaks and time for self care as needed.

Free Reading: What To Expect In July 2019

I'm excited to bring you this week's free reading. It's a "Pick A Crystal" reading for July. This will be a general reading letting you know what to expect for the month of July. Take a look at the photo below, pick the crystal that calls to you, and scroll down for your reading.

Group 1

It's looks like you are working hard at your goals and developing your skills. You are working hard to get somewhere. You may even be focusing on the past or having trouble letting go of something. This reading is saying that it's time to take stock. Realize what's working and what's not and abandon the things that are holding you back. You may have trouble seeing success until you do this. Reflect on what you are doing and where your time is going. Prioritize your life and let go of the things that are not helping you reach your goals right now.

You are a mature person who knows what you want in life. You cut straight to the important stuff. You value truth and people who are upfront with you. These are your strong points which will help you figure out how to achieve your goals. Getting into a daily routine to help reach your goals is important right now.

You do have potential and the energy is there for new beginnings and success to take place. But there is still work to be had. Still, be open to any opportunities that may come along at this time. There is a lot of creative energy at work in your life. You may have new ideas pop up seemingly out of nowhere this month. Write them down so that you don't forget.

I don't feel it is quite time for your dreams to take flight, but you are getting there. You need to tweak your daily routine to be more productive, set your goals, be consistent with what you are doing, and be ready for change to take place.

Group 2

If you haven't already, you really need to take a step back and relax. Put on the brakes for a bit. You may have overworked yourself recently or you may just need some time for self reflection. "Me time" and meditation are great ways to help heal this burn out. If you have been involving yourself with other people too much, you may need to take a step back from that. If people are sort of forcing you into events and things that take your energy, be strong enough to say no for your own health. You can tell when you are around the people that take your energy or make you feel drained. You gotta take a step back, especially from those people. They won't do anything but harm you right now. Meditate, draw your energy inward, and sit in your own power.

You may be going through some tough times emotionally and that's why you need to be alone right now. I just get a sense of you really needing to pull back, because of some trauma or tough emotional times that you've been facing. This reading is saying that those tough times are almost over and new beginnings are coming. You may have a new relationship or friendships right around the corner, but you need to heal first.

Staying in more will also help guard you from spending too much money. In July, you need to look at ways that you can save your money. You are kind of a spender in general, but this month you should take a step back from that. Start to spend less and save more.

Group 3

This month you will be walking away from a situation that no longer serves you. You may have over-committed to something and now have to take a step back from all those promises you made, or maybe you entered some kind of agreement that you are now going to back out of. It's time to look at your priorities and make sure they are in order and that you are making the healthiest decisions for yourself.

There is some success coming up for you though. This is material and worldly success. You will definitely have a time of withdrawal though. This doesn't have to be a negative thing. We sometimes have to take steps backward in order to go forward. Let your intuition guide you in this.

I do see some personal setbacks as well, so this further confirms that you are moving on from something that no longer serves you, and taking a step back. You have been overwhelmed. Don't let it get to the point where you lash out on someone when you don't mean it. It can be very hard to take back our words. So let yourself take a step back before anything like that happens.

Group 4

This reading indicates that you have been a bit moody recently. You may be having some conflicts with others and with yourself, or you may be trying hard to avoid conflict. Your relationships are strained right now.

You may be having setbacks in life as well. Things are not going as smoothly as you want or need it to go. Sudden changes at the last minute, or details you may have overlooked that caused you to miss deadlines. You may feel like life isn't moving as fast as you want it to. These delays are leading to frustration and you may be taking it out on those you love, or it's causing a strain between you and your loved ones. But this is not the end. You will eventually get to the end goal that you are pursuing. Yes, there are setbacks, but eventually you will find contentment and you'll be wondering why you let all of this get to you.

It's a time to draw on your inner power. Be bold, be creative when solving problems, have courage when faced with adversity. Don't be afraid of your inner power. These characteristics will help you in this time. You are facing challenges, so you need to be this fierce leader in your life. Don't let these things take you down. Yes, good things are coming. Don't let yourself get caught up with the negative.
