Today's cards are from the Work Your Light Oracle by Rebecca Campbell. Below is a picture showing five cards: 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 (left to right). Close your eyes, tune in, and see which number you are drawn to. I have put crystals with each card as you may be drawn to a particular crystal instead. Scroll down to the number and read the message meant to find you.

CARD 1
DON'T DIM TO FIT IN
How are you dimming your light in order to fit in?
Don't dim your light to accommodate someone else's smallness. We are all born to shine big and bright. The universe is expanding, and you are part of the Universe, so expanding is part of your nature.
If someone makes you want to retract, notice, and slowly back away, they are not for you, and you are not for them. Better yet, find it within yourself to expand and shine your light anyway. Flowers don't open and close according to who is walking by. They open and show their beauty regardless.
If others don't want to be around you or you make them uncomfortable, it is because you are shining light on the fact that they are dimming to fit in. By choosing to shine bright, you may just inspire them to turn on their light too. Or not. Keep your light on anyway.
All relationships are essentially an energetic agreement. The moment one person decides to start rising up and allowing their light to shine, it changes the energetic agreement and can create some waves. That's completely normal.
The relationships that are meant to last will adapt to the change in energy. Others won't because they were likely born under the proviso of 'I love you, as long as you don't shine brighter than me.' That's OK, not all people are meant to be in your life forever. But the lessons they teach us can still live on.

CARD 2
LEAP
You go first. The Universe will catch you.
Life bends for the courageous. The Universe wants to support you, but first you need to leap. To throw your life up in the air.
Perhaps you know what you are being called to leap towards (or away from) but are scared to make the move. Or maybe perhaps you are waiting for a great big sign, or instruction manual, or permission to do so first. If this is you, then this card is your sign and permission slip to take a deep breath, and leap into the unknown.
It's scary to let go of all we know in hope for something new. And it's normal to feel anxious at the thought of letting go of what we know for sure. But this is the unavoidable process of rising. And right now, this is how you are being called to live.
Nature is constantly showing us how to live with courage. Fall comes every year and encourages the trees to loosen their grip. To allow what once was so full of life, to fall away, leaf by leaf. For a moment, it feels like nothing will grow again. The branches are left bare without the comfort of what once was. But in the morn of spring, new shoots begin to appear and something new is born that is even more glorious than before.
WORK YOUR LIGHT ACTION.
You go first. Take a good run-up and leap.
CARD 3
THE EVER-UNFOLDING ROSE
Cracked open. It's happening for you, not to you.
The challenge of life is to keep your heart open when you most want to close it. To let life crack you open. To open through hurt and loss. To allow what is falling away to fall away.
Being human is a courageous act. A life well lived is full of losses and tragedies, as much as triumphs and adventures. Wherever you find yourself at the moment, life is coaxing you to keep your heart open no matter how much it hurts. To continually unfold. To let life crack you open.
Perhaps you are going through a difficult time right now. Instead of cursing the difficulty, see it as a blessing. To open yourself up to the truth that, perhaps, as hard as it may be, life is happening for you, not to you. And one day, in the not so distant future, you may just bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you open because the world needs you open.
Now is the time to go gently. To treat yourself like a tender; sweet baby. To wrap yourself in a blanket and trust that the Mother has you cradled in her arms. The seas may not all be smooth sailing but you are safe and you are held. One day, not too far from today, you will look back at the transformation and be blown away by the poetry of life. Everything is going to be OK.
WORK YOUR LIGHT
Everything is going to be OK. Let it crack you open.
CARD 4
SOUL FAMILY
Call in your tribe. You don't have to do it alone.
It is time to call in your soul family and support team. People who get you at soul level. People who are the same kind of weird as you. People who are your chosen family. They are coming and they are looking for you.
If you haven't found them yet this is a sign they are close by. But in order for them to find you and recognise you when they do, it is important that you stop dimming your light and truly let yourself be seen.
If you have already found them, then you are being called to let them support you and perhaps also assemble a wider support team. Your support team can consist of all types of people, such as a therapist, coach, mentor, or healer. Tune in to what kind of support you need now.

Call in your support team now.
CARD 5
ANNA, GRANDMOTHER OF JESUS
Seeding the light. Laying foundations. Divine plan.
Anna, Grandmother of Jesus, was an ancient mystic who dedicated her life to laying the foundations for Christ consciousness to be woven through all of life. She is not widely known, but without her Christ consciousness would not be rising as it is today.
Anna represents the quiet dedication that is sometimes required to live a life of service. She represents the generations that came before that devoted their lives to dreaming a new world into being while knowing that they would not see the glorious end result. She represents the dutiful soldier, the unconditional mother, and the mystic who can see the thread that is woven through all of life.
Anna teaches us that we all have a part to play in the Divine plan. It doesn't have to be on the world stage to be significant. One persons part is not worthier than another. One person's part may be to mother their children. Another's maybe to gather women in a circle each month. No part is better or worse, more important or less significant. We each have a seed of light that we incarnated to share. Anna is gathering us all to remember and surrender to our part of the plan.
WORK YOUR LIGHT ACTIVATION
Say - 'Beloved Anna. Thank you for laying the foundations for the Divine plan. May the seeds of light within me be revealed and may I surrender to my part of the Divine plan.'
