Capricorn Goddess ~ Kuan-Yin

Mercy, compassion, grace,
China’s beloved Goddess chose this place,
To stay and guide enlightened mind,
Call her name and peace you’ll find.

Kuan-Yin is a feminine Bodhisattva, or Buddha-to-be and is the most powerful being in the entire Chinese pantheon and the chief symbol of compassion in the Orient.  Her name translates to “she who hears the weeping world”. By constantly repeating her name, it was said to bring peace and generosity into her worshiper’s lives.

Excerpted from my Goddess Zodiac Power Deck coming out Summer, 2020.

Aries New Moon (Pick-a-Card) + Tips To Get Through These Challenging Times

Dear Moon Muser,
We will get through these challenging times with a little help from our friends.

You've probably been listening to a lot of talking heads these days to stay abreast of the news, but I'm asking that instead you take a break and go within, but deeper than I've ever asked you to before; past the fear, the worry, the anxiety - to the stillness and calm that is our core and lies within each of us.

You may have been reading this blog for the past 20 years or for the first time today, but this is what I teach: How to awaken, access and trust your intuition. Like a muscle, we need to work it, again and again - this builds trust.

Intuition needs nature and quiet. Even just a tiny amount - a bit of dirt, a small houseplant, a glimpse of sky and stars and a moment to yourself to go within.

This blog offers you just that so use it to work your intuition.

As usual I've pulled some oracle cards from my own hand painted decks for this New Moon so you can go within, ask a question (or not) then pick a card and scroll down for the reveal. I'm also sharing my own personal interpretation of the cards (before even looking at them) along with Tips To Help You Through This Time (things that work for me).

Time to take a breath, go within and pick-a-card. The reveal is below.

Card 1: Capricorn (Zodiac Goddess Power deck)

Capricorn Meditation: Focus your energies to allow creation.

Capricorn Affirmations

• I am self-disciplined, logical, persistent and efficient

• I am strong and I will endure

• I am ambitious, responsible and secure

• I am grounded and compassionate

• I am a success in everything I do

Card 2: Carolee (Lefty Oracle deck)

Mantra: I am free.
Affirmation: I dare to be free.
Element: Earth

If this card appears in a reading you are more than ready to forge ahead. You are brave and you are going for it; nothing or no one can stand in your way. Simple.

In my own life this card also speaks of raw, naked ambition and flaunting it without shame or fear. It’s a feminist card, a fighter card, a power card. Blessed Be.

Card 3: Spider Monkey (Elfin Ally Oracle deck)

Keyword: Curious
Meaning: You’re tapped into many little secrets floating around you.
Reversed: Your mind is playing tricks on you.
Affirmation: I am agile.
Astrology: Gemini, Mercury
Element: Air
Medicine: You teach us how to be agile female leaders.

Card 4: This Beauty is Killing Me (Lefty Oracle deck)

Mantra: I am empowered
Affirmation: I am beautiful in my own way.
Element: Fire

When this card appears in a reading it’s time to seriously look at how you might be damaging yourself, your health, your life. Wearing high heels, for example is extremely harmful to your feet and back and will cause pain for you at some point in your life. Are you hurting others or being hurt? Are you vulnerable? Do you need protection and education around protecting yourself, your loved ones, your home, or the natural world around you? This card is simply pointing out the price you are paying for so called ‘beauty’. Is it worth it?

In my own life here in Southern California I look around at all the plastic surgeries and there are A LOT. But what can I do? I can accept me and put myself proudly out there to share my idea of what beauty means at middle age. It’s silver hair, extra weight and wrinkles that add to my beauty, not take away from it. I have survived AND thrived and beauty IS middle aged and wrinkled. So deal with it.

My Overall Interpretation:

• Use these cards to find the sweet stillness within and to be with that stillness to renew and recharge.

• Ground, ground, ground - be with Mama Earth.

• Let your intuition guide you regularly.

• Listen to the birds and BE IN their song.

My Personal Tips To Get You Through These Challenging Times

1. Less news, more nature. I’m taking every other day off from the news.

2. Call an old friend (or email/skype/facetime).

3. Create more, read more.

4. Be kind.

5. Get organized - spring cleaning, anyone?

6. Listen to wise woman herbalist, Susun Weed’s latest podcasts for a different perspective on the covid19 virus plus listen to callers ask questions (you can call in too!) This helped to calm and relax me.

7. Go within to find inner strength, gratitude and to call upon a higher power, your gods/goddesses, spirit guides or universal energy.

8. Ask health care workers and elderly neighbors what you can do to be of assistance.

New Moon in Leo Inspiration 2016

Dear Intuitive Soul,

August's New Moon is in Leo and your oracle card inspiration this month is Sexy Sunflower. The excerpt below is from my Lefty Oracle Guidebook and soon-to-be published deck.

Year of the Sexy Sunflower: Get ready for a year of SHINE. It’s your time. Time you stood in the spotlight and acknowledged your truth and all you’ve done so far with your life. Be subtle or showy; what’s your style? Push yourself now to really put yourself out there in a BIG way. Let us all know about the best parts of you. What are your gifts and your greatest strengths? What adversity have you overcome? How many people or plants or animals have you helped? What do you love about yourself? Start with this and expand out. Make us care. Shine, sexy sunflower, shine bright!

In my own life at present I do my best to share my work and life online and I make sure that when I do I’m in a positive state of mind and post with love in my heart. If I post when upset, negative or depressed that energy leaks out into the world and returns to me magnified which helps no one.

NEW SITE LAUNCH! 
I've spent the last several months creating and honing my brand new website and it's ready to be unveiled now that Mercury is direct and Mars is direct and out of it's station...perfect timing! Enjoy!

Past Life Reading Sample : With client permission I've just posted this recent Past Life Reading along with a testimonial. The price for these readings will be going up in the fall.

Goddess LUV

Goddesses from my book

Goddess Luv!!! I painted over 36 goddesses during a month of channeling the moon when it was in each sign of the zodiac. I also wrote poetry and researched goddess myths for my book because at that time it was mainly gods that were being talked about in astrology and I wanted to express the Divine Feminine… I’ve never shown these paintings before anywhere so this is a first… at the time when I wrote this I didn’t even have a website in 1996… My book can be purchased in my Etsy shop at www.creativesoulguidance.etsy.com

Goddess Zodiac Book by Kathy Crabbe

I channeled the Zodiac signs as Goddess paintings for my book back in 1996 then interviewed Etsy artists based on their sign and how that influenced their art …i incl goddess poetry based on their myths and altar suggestions to create your own new moon circle…all paintings were created when the moon was in a particular zodiac sign…it took me a month but OH what a DIVINE trip that was ♥♡♥…avail. in my etsy shop as a PDF in color of course at www.creativesoulguidance.etsy.com
