Balance First, Then Bloom – Monday Oracle 26 May 2025

 

“Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create.”

– Jana Kingsford 

Hello, Lovelies!

This Quarter I am using the Sacred Power Reading Cards by Anna Stark, illustrated by Louis Dyer, for my weekly oracle readings.

Our card to guide us for the week ahead is ENERGY BALANCE.

2025 is a year for pattern breaking, deep healing, mysticism and new directions.

May is a month for connecting to your dreams, for doing what you love, for renewal of the physical (hello health and wellbeing!) and for inspired action.

ENERGY BALANCE & the New Moon in Gemini

This week brings a potent blend of inner stillness and outer possibility. This isn’t about detaching from life – it’s about centering ourselves so that we can move through the world with more clarity, confidence, and ease. 

At the same time, the New Moon in Gemini (26 or 27 May depending on where you live) flutters in like a curious gentle butterfly, encouraging us to explore new ideas, spark fresh conversations, and flirt with new directions – no pressure, just possibilities. Trust, and go with the flow with a sense of playfulness. There’s no need for stress. Keep things light.

🌬️ The message of the week? Balance your energy. Then let it flow.

🌀 Your Inner Alignment Is Your Anchor

When our energy is scattered, when we’re overthinking or overdoing, we lose our natural rhythm. We disconnect from our truth.

🌿 This week, come back to center.

🌿 Meditate, breathe, stretch, walk.

🌿 Eat nourishing healthy foods, and stay hydrated.

🌿 Tune in to your inner world before engaging with the outer one.

Whether you’re resting or reaching, speaking or sitting in stillness—your presence matters. Everything works better when you’re aligned within yourself first.

🌑✨ New Moon in Gemini – Speak It Into Being

Gemini is the cosmic pollinator—gathering inspiration, asking questions, sparking connections. This New Moon isn’t about heavy goals or rigid five-year plans. It’s about exploration, expression, and light-hearted momentum.

Expect:

• Bursts of inspiration

• Exciting new ideas

• Creative downloads

• A strong desire to learn, share, and connect

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to stay open and curious.

Now is a beautiful time to try something new – begin a new project, try a recipe, start a course, go to a class about something that interests you, draft a blog post, record that podcast intro, send the email, or speak your dream aloud.

💫 Balance + Action = Magic

This week is all about alignment before action. Not perfection—just presence.

Feel grounded in your truth and inspired to share it.
Hold space for both silence and self-expression.
Let your energy flow freely—without letting it fray.

When you start from your center, you’re unstoppable.
You’re clear, intentional, and magnetically aligned to what’s next.

✨ Dream Declaration Writing ✨

Light a candle.
Take a deep breath.
Grab your journal and write:

“10 Things I Am Excited to Create, Explore, or Express”

Write them as if they’re already happening.
Examples:

• “I am joyfully writing my book.”

• “I am attracting conversations that light me up.”

• “I am learning a new skill with playfulness and ease.”

Let it be light. Let it be fun. Let it flow.

🌀 This week, your body is your compass. Your intuition is your guide. Your words are your wand.
Speak with love. Dream with delight.
Let the inner and outer harmonize—because when they do, everything blooms. 💛🌑🧘‍♀️

My Top Tip For The Week Ahead: 

Align Within, Express Without

This week, give yourself permission to pause before you push.

✨ Ground yourself before you leap into something new.
✨ Let your energy settle before making decisions.
✨ Find your center—then follow the pull of what feels light, joyful, and true.

Your balance is your power.
When you’re aligned within, life flows more easily around you. Self-care is vital right now!

It’s been a quiet week here in the treehouse, but inside my creative world, there was a full-blown spark-storm. Early in the week, I poured everything I had into a manuscript submission for a competition—and for once, I didn’t crash and burn afterwards. The writing flowed, the inspiration landed, and I could feel my energetic team cheering me on, guiding my hands, and keeping my body steady.

I’m still catching my breath, but in a good way. You know that feeling when you’ve truly honoured your purpose and your energy aligns behind it? That’s where I’ve been sitting. It reminds me how powerful we become when we listen to our intuition, act from a place of inner balance, and trust that we’re supported.

So if you’re standing on the edge of something creative, meaningful, or long-held—this is your nudge. Your soul knows when the time is right. And when it is? The Universe will show up for you.

We have a lot happening on the home front, and with loved ones, so I am practicing the art of living gently. I’ve been needing more rest than usual, more space to just be. Maybe you’ve felt that too—like the world’s noise got a little too loud. I’ve been leaning into simplicity, soft moments, and plenty of tea. If you’re in that kind of space too, please know you’re not alone. This week, I’m reminding myself (and maybe you) that it’s okay to pause and breathe before blooming again. 🌱
Sending so much love to you, and gentle hugs too, Nicole xx

PS – Here’s a picture of some delicious savoury muffins I made yesterday. Rufous, of course, couldn’t help but be in the photo. He’s ever hopeful when it comes to food. If you want the recipe let me know. They are so easy, and can be made gluten free too!
