Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

Hello, Lovelies!
This Quarter I am using The Sacred Forest Oracle by Denise Linn, with artwork by Scott Breidenthal, for my weekly oracle readings.
Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 1. Air Spirit – KNOWLEDGE.
2023 is a year for change, creating solid foundations, and for spiritual journeying. It’s a year for personal growth, and for clarifying who you are, what you want, and why you are here.
August encourages us to acknowledge ourselves as energetic as well as physical beings, and to find and give thanks for the sacred in our everyday lives as we nurture our dreams and open our hearts to opportunity.
1. Air Spirit – KNOWLEDGE
It’s a week for insights, breakthroughs and being able to actually HEAR AND TRUST our Inner Wisdom and creativity. Hooray for that!
This is a week where good ideas, flashes of insight and deep self-awareness will bubble to the surface.
When that happens, pay attention.
Once you get that insight, don’t just think about it, act on it! Write it down. Work out how to integrate that insight into your life. Use this information to guide yourself forwards.
It’s a brilliant week for new ideas, for starting projects, and for bringing things to life.
It’s also a week for self-revelation, and for the kind of insights that can be the beginning of massive life-changing action.
My Top Tip For The Week Ahead:
Here are two ways that you can work with this week’s energies more intentionally:
Hands on Heart
Stand or sit quietly for a moment and slow your breathing. Close your eyes and relax your body. When you feel calm, place your hand over your heart. Feel that connection to yourself, and ask your heart ‘What do I most need to know right now?’ Trust the answer you are shown.
Working with Cards
Choose your favourite oracle or tarot card deck. Think of a problem where you are seeking guidance or clarification as you shuffle the cards. Break the deck into three piles and turn the top card of each pile over. The first card gives insight into the situation as it is now. The second card shows the action step needed to help you resolve the situation. The third card gives insight into the potential outcome of the situation after applying the action step.
Stuck with creating a satisfying life for yourself or understanding your best direction forward? Maybe you need a session with me to bring some extra clarity and direction. Details here

What’s news at the Treehouse? This week, whenever I’ve had a spare moment, I’ve been creating. I’ve been working on an old manuscript, which I sent off late Sunday to a book coach. I’ve been cleaning out my packing room to get ready for our 2024 Planners, crystals and new stock. And I’ve been working with my team on our new website and an overhauled Academy. There’s still so much to do, but it feels great to have energy, clarity and to be in a space of possibility once again.
My health is slowly but steadily improving with new meds, new treatment plans, and the support of a great team. I’ll never be ‘fixed’, but if I can navigate myself to a place of better stability, less pain, and more energy I’ll be happy.
I’ve been thinking about that a lot this week. What it means to feel happy. What it means to be content with life.
I’ve also been thinking about what distracts and detracts from my wellbeing and peaceful state of mind.
I felt stupidly happy this week, because I was writing. The kind of writing where I sat at my desk for hours, or stayed up late reading over my work and didn’t notice time passing. I felt great when I did it. I felt great when I finished. And I slept well.
Here’s to more of the good stuff, and less of the distractions. Here’s for moving into the unknown, guided by my heart.
I hope this week’s energies help you connect into more of that good stuff too.
Love, hugs and sprinkles of fairy dust, Nicole xx
