Lunar Reading:

Behold the power of secrets and truth. There is a new form of deception in the air around your inner circle of family and/or friends. Your guides urge you to pay close attention to repetitive patterns from the past. Those that have once burnt you will try their hardest to regain their power of control and manipulation. Do not show these entities fear or allow your emotions or actions to feed the situation further. Doing this will cause a spiral affect that once done can not be unchanged. Keep in mind there is more good in this world than bad. There are more people that choose to live a life of and for love, however there are those that feel the need to feed on the energy of others . They are the modern energy drainers or so called modern day vampires. Truth is what it is but it is different to each. Everyone sees their own truth, their own version of a situation or story. This means that what may be true to you or I may not be truth to someone else.

Don't expect the worst or worry too much to allow your thoughts to be focused on the 'what ifs' of any given situation. The only visuals you should be considering are those of the end result you wish to see. Allowing any of your thoughts to focus on the negative will only give it strength and then it will continue to grow to your dismay. Spend a few hours this week focusing on and visualizing how next will be, not how you hope but manifest what you want.

On a positive note there are many precautions you can take to avoid the unforeseen negativity that may be trying to make the way into your inner circle. When dealing with this entity/person directly or in reference make sure you visualize a set of mirrors surrounding you that face outwards. This will allow any negative thoughts or creations directed at you to be redirected back to the source. You will not allow these actions or thoughts to consume you as they do not affect you. You are a spiritual being filled with love and gratitude. You must show and allow humility on your behalf to walk away from this knowing you are okay and this situation will not and has not affected you in any serious matter. I say you must show humiliation as many would prefer to retaliate, defend or respond to a situation but sometimes it is best not to feed it any energy all together. Thus one must show humiliation by simply walking away despite possible rumors of what is or never was.

Despite the above negativity, the week will be quite beautiful in many aspects. Your craving to get out in nature is being listened to by the woodland creatures and elemental spirits and fairy folk. It is most likely the voice of them that you hear subconsciously begging you to leave the home and enter the beauty of the season. Its time for a quite walk in the woods or the local park. Place your winter gear on if it is cold in your geographical location. Take some bird seed and apple peals with you along your journey to leave for our feathered and four legged family.

For the Magic Doers & Light Workers:

Time to banish any negativity from entering your aura and state of well being. The current moon phase is perfect for such a thing! Please note that you must perform a self cleansing ritual or bath before you consider practicing any acts of banishment. Any other magical/light work done this week should be for revealing of secrets and or the growth of personal awareness.

When banishing an entity or energy, we must do it with love. Do not allow ones self to be consumed by what it is you are ridding off! You have to embrace the energy, accept it, thank it for the lesson learned and let it go (even f you don't agree with it or there was no lesson seen). Letting it goes is the difficult part emotionally for most. Doing a visualization really helps with disconnecting yourself from the energy/situation. When we use our thoughts they don't become as jumbled as words spoken aloud can sometimes do. Being vocal is good but our voices only have a small amount of range. Our thoughts are connected with the cosmic voice so using your mind is just as affective, if not more so. Below is a visualization I have written for those wishing to perform an act of banishment towards a negative situation or energy/entity.

Rainbow Tree's Personal Banishment Ritual

Visualize yourself floating in space while you are looking towards the earth. You see beautiful energy induced strings coming out from the earth that look like a spiders web. Allow the strings to connect around your waist, feet and hands. The web like ropes glow with intense light and energy. You begin to notice how the web is growing and connecting everything that exists to the earth, including you. You will see that almost all things are connected on this grid or web like formation of energy. When the negative energy/entity is seen clearly, view the strings attached to it/them. Take note the strings around your waist are connected together with theirs. The negative entity has the same strings as you connecting it to all that exists. You have acknowledged the same string connecting both of you at the waist, you are to visualize your fingers in the shape of a pair of scissors. Cut ONLY the string from your waist that connects you to the negative entity/energy you wish to bind. Under no circumstances are you to cut any other strings from that energy or entity or yourself. Only the string around the waist from you to the entity/person should be cut. When the web/string has been cut, you should visualize this energy drifting father and farther away from you and out into space. When it is no longer in view you may open your eyes and know your act has been done. This entity and the energy from it now have no physical, emotional or spiritual control over you or any situation.

Your Mission for this week:

Allow your true colors to be expressed to the fullest. Shine like the brightest star in the night sky. No matter what the expression (as long as it is safe for you and those around you) take action on it. If you want to wear mismatched clothing and multiple layers with long-johns and stripes, go for it! If you want to paint yourself nude or in a visualization of some thin and sexy goddess, go for that too. Do something out of the ordinary and unexpected that you have always wanted to try or do, but were hesitant because of what others may think or say. You are what you are and no one can change that! So why do you suppress that inner ballerina or painter waiting to break out of the grownup shell and reality? Live your dream today and tomorrow. Be what you want even if no one is looking or even if they are all staring at you in confusion of your sudden change of style or behavior. Life is too short to sit around and regret what we haven't done or procrastinate with our dreams. Live this week as if it was your last one here on earth and no one knew you were going to be leaving. Value each moment and make memories.
