As we move closer to 100 members, I find myself reflecting on why this community was created in the first place. Over the last couple years, I’ve had conversations with so many people through workshops, readings, hypnosis sessions, Reiki, astrology, tarot, and one-on-one chats. Different backgrounds. Different stories. Yet the themes were often surprisingly similar. People started noticing things. 🔹 Repeating number sequences 🔹 Vivid dreams or unusual synchronicities 🔹 Feeling drawn to tarot, astrology, energy work, meditation, or other spiritual tools 🔹 A growing sense that there was “something more” 🔹 Outgrowing friendships, jobs, habits, or environments 🔹 Questioning old beliefs and perspectives 🔹 Feeling more emotional, sensitive, or intuitive 🔹 Changes in interests, behaviors, priorities, and even appearance 🔹 A desire to release things that no longer fit, but not always knowing how Many described it as “waking up”. Many people also felt that they were alone in this. Not necessarily overnight. More like a series of breadcrumbs leading somewhere new. I’m curious… Looking back now, what were some of the earliest signs of your spiritual awakening? Was it a dream? A life event? A number sequence? A book? A loss? A question you couldn’t stop asking? A moment that changed everything? Whether your awakening happened 20 years ago or 20 days ago, share your story below. 👇 Someone reading your experience may realize they’re not alone in theirs. 📌 I’m going to pin this post for a little while. One thing I’ve learned through my own journey and through working with others is that spiritual awakenings don’t happen just once. They often come in layers, seasons, and cycles throughout our lives. Some members here may be just starting to notice signs and shifts. Others may be years into their journey and navigating an entirely different chapter of growth. The comments on this thread can serve as a living resource for the community. As you read through the experiences shared here, notice what resonates. You may recognize something you’ve experienced yourself, discover something new, or simply find comfort in knowing you’re not alone.

What do we need to KNOW this week: Reversed 8 of Pentacles with a Clarifer of the Star - You may feel like you are working very hard but not feeling or seeing the results or possibly becoming over focused on the skill and reaching potential burn out. - The Clairifer of the Star tells us that we must keep the faith in the bigger picture. Progress may not look like what you had envisioned and that is A OK (see music guidance from this morning - great song). - Perfection is not required. The Vision, having faith in the vision and small steps will get you where you need to be. - Even if you are feeling unmotivated right now... honor that and take a break to breath and come back to the next step in a few days. What do we need to DO this week: Consider being like Blanche in the Golden Girls - The Page of Pentacles. Start before you are ready, ask questions, take a class, read the book, plant a seed. The Page doesn't have to know everything, but she's ready to jump in to gain a new experience (and the confidence). - This week - you don't need the roadmap!!! You need a first step. And then when ready... a second step. Keep the dream alive and take a step. But the whole roadmap is not needed. ❓Who loves The Golden Girls?!? I rarely get to use these cards so today I was guided (as I was shuffling my normal Rider Waite deck) to incorporate The Golden Girls deck. So there you go... Blanche made her appearance!
