Message of the Week
This week’s message comes again from The Starseed Oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell and Danielle Noel, as well as SHINE. My apologies for not sending this yesterday, it seems an end-of-summer cold found me. Let’s dive in!
This is today’s card…
I drew the exact same card yesterday. So clearly this message is either 1) so important it came up twice, or 2) didn’t get through my virus-laden brain the first time.😂 I wasn’t forging much of anything yesterday except a nice pillow valley on the couch.
This card is all about empowerment and creating the world you wish to see rather than waiting for the world you want to show up. There is a time for rest, and right now is that time for many of us. But rest doesn’t mean submission. Rest means honoring your body and creating the stillness it needs to recalibrate and renew. Rest means giving things time to shake out, clear out, and settle down so we can move forward from a place of clarity, unburdened by baggage. Right after I drew this card, I opened SHINE to this passage:
Every inch of you is unique, divine, and magical. As one of my friends said recently, YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT GOD HAD IN MIND WHEN GOD MADE YOU. There is a time for rest, but do not mistake rest with laying down your shine and succumbing to anything other than your inner calling. You are uniquely you for a reason. Stop trying to cram yourself into an ill-fitting box and know that you are needed exactly as you are.
A few days ago, I made a page in my journal for every professional job I have ever had. On each page, I wrote down what I liked about that job, what I didn’t like about that job, and why I eventually left that job. I did this because I feel things shifting with my career, and although I can’t see where it’s going I know I wanted to get clear on what it actually is that I want. Funny thing, I had a hard time coming up with things I actually like about being a solo artist! Ha! Five years into this adventure and I am just now realizing that I really don’t enjoy large chunks of it. Brilliant!
Once I had the lists, I looked for the commonalities. There were themes throughout, and I was able to get really clear on what aspects of a career are fulfilling for me and which ones drain me. Not only did this exercise invite clarity, it helped me to really see myself fully. I was able to recognize all of the incredible things I bring to the table, and how valuable I am. I love being an artist. I am super creative in LOTS of ways, not just with painting. And, I love being on a team. I was able to identify that what I’ve been missing is camaraderie, leadership, and mentoring. Now I know what I want to keep, what I will toss, and what I want to create in a career. So how does all of that tie into today’s message?
Well, in the big picture view, now that I am aware of my strengths and have identified what I want, I can forge a new path for myself. With clarity I can now create something even more authentic and fulfilling. This exercise gave me something to hold on to, a directional light toward which to move. With this new information about myself, I can either create my art business in a more fulfilling way that involves collaboration and teamwork (I’m looking at you, Theresa Martorana😉), or I can be open to considering other career paths that utilize all of my strengths and unique abilities. Because I know I am here for a reason and that reason is directly tied to my unique abilities and my divine shine.
Today is 9/9/2025. Which in numerology reduces down to angel number 999. Completion. The invitation here is to look at what needs to go and let it go. Realize that you are EXACTLY what God had in mind when God made you, and take a step toward a life that is what you want with the information you have today.
With great love,
Peyton
