Pendulum Work

I have a lot of folks who want to work more closely with their angels and guides, or personal helpers. First, as always, you must acknowledge them. Welcome your personal helpers with words, and let them know what you want them to do, or how you want them to be in your life. Then, be prepared to listen to them.

One way to establish communication and know is to ask a yes/no question and then use a pendulum to divulge the answer. Below is a how to guide for pendulum work.

1. Choosing a Pendulum:

You can either purchase a pendulum or make one yourself. It can be anything with a weighted object attached to a string or chain.
Choose a pendulum that feels comfortable and balanced in your hand. It can be made of various materials like metal, crystal, or wood.

2. Understanding the Basics:

Hold the pendulum between your thumb and index finger, allowing it to hang freely without touching anything.
Ask the pendulum which way means yes and wait for the pendulum to move on its own. Be patient, and if the pendulum doesn’t move, it may not be in alignment with you in which case you can select another.
Ask the pendulum to show you the “no” direction.
Ask the pendulum to show you the “no answer,” which can indicate that you need to reword the question, or that there is not a best answer.

3. Establishing a Connection:

When you begin working with a pendulum, be in a comfortable and quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.
Take a few deep breaths to relax your mind and body.
Call on your angels and guides to hear you and answer your question.

4. Asking Questions:

Ask clear, specific questions that can be answered with a “yes” or “no” or “maybe”.
Remain relaxed and open-minded, allowing the pendulum to move naturally. Consider closing your eyes so you don’t influence the answer.

5. Interpreting the Responses:

Interpret the pendulum’s movement based on your pre-established signals for “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.”
Trust your intuition and the connection you’ve established with your guides through your pendulum.

6. Practice and Patience:

Like any skill, working with a pendulum requires practice and patience.
Keep a journal to record your questions, the pendulum’s responses, and any insights or feelings you experience during the process.
Over time, you’ll become more attuned to the subtle movements and nuances of your pendulum.

Sometimes people wear their pendulum on a long chain around their neck so that it is always available. I take my pendulum to the grocery store and will sometimes use it to decide between different products. Play with your pendulum, always remembering to call on your guides and trusting that they are communicating with you through the pendulum. And have fun!

Tarot Reading for Loving Yourself

This reading addresses what steps to take to love yourself more:

What must I release to love myself?

Determination (Chariot): Slow down and release control because they are not getting you any closer to loving yourself. You have been determined, until now, to focus on what you believe is unloving about yourself.

How do I release it?

Quester (Fool): Be willing to take a risk and open the portals to new journeys and relationships. Your guides are with you and will protect you as long as you listen for their advice.

What do I call in to replace what I released?

Moon: Know that you have illusions about yourself that do not serve your highest good. Believe in the power of the Moon to discover who you are and to know that you are worthy of love.

What do I need to do to trust the cards?

Temperance: Acknowledge, honor and balance all aspects of who you are. You have many roles and responsibilities in your life, and it’s time that you acknowledge all of the good and wonderful parts of yourself.

Personal Month Numerology for February

To determine the numerology of your personal year, add together your birth month and day number to the current year (2024=8 for this year). For a September 23 birthday (no matter the birth year), the personal year would be 9 (month) + 5 (23 reduced to 5) + 8 (Universal year) = 13, which reduces to 4. For the entire year, this birthday person will have the energy of 4, which will influence how the person makes decisions and what opportunities are likely to come her way.

The 4 energy is about setting up the structure for the future and understanding who you are and where you are going. For personal month number, add current calendar month number (2 for February) to your personal year number. You need to calculate your personal month number. In the above example, we would add 2 (the calendar month) + 4 (the personal year) = 6. For this birthday, the month of February will carry the 6 energy, which is all about home and responsibility. Where is home, who does she want in her home, what are her responsibilities to her home and those in the home? This 6 energy of the personal month will work in tandem with the 4 energy of her personal year.

Words to describe each number:

1 = Independence, creativity, and innovation. (The 1 is the beginning of a cycle of 9 months or years.)

2 = Diplomacy, cooperation, and partnership.

3 = Communication, artistic endeavors, and joy.

4 = Practicality, straightforwardness, and planning.

5 = Adventure, fun, and flexibility.

6 = Nurturance, devotedness, and family orientation.

7 = Insightfulness, serenity, and privacy.

8 = Power, authority, and abundance.

9 = Humanitarianism, empathy, and open-mindedness. (The 9 is the ending of a 9 month cycle.)
