An Indigo Intention - Ask Intend Serve Receive

Enjoy this Indigo Intention setter. This #lifeset is simple and easy. It requires only that your request for help or guidance be honest, is meant to harm none including yourself, and no foul is to pass as a result.

What to do:
  Recant the #lifeset, anywhere and at anytime
  Very specifically, ask Mother Moon whatever it is that your need from her
  Inhale and hold your intention for 5 seconds
  At the end of 5 seconds, sneak in one more quick breath to seal the deal
  Exhale and give thanks

What to ask for:
  ANYTHING!!! Mother Moon even when shielded by the sun (during the day ;) will hear you. As long as your intentions are honest in nature, your 'need' will not be turned away:
  Confidence before an interview, a piece of calm when feeling challenged, help to see another(s) point of view, strength to avoid that chocolate bar... trust me on this one, I that all the time lol.

~Remember, as an Indigo, it is in us to achieve. It is in us to strive
The more you do to open those doors, more doors there'll be to open ~


Blessed Be,
Amanda

A #lifeset is similar to a prayer or intention. It is what we ask or do in order to move life along.

What do you need in your life right now?
Have you taken the time to ask?
Do you ever feel guilty when asking for help?

A life in the Page of Swords

As the Page of Swords, I function best when:

In my career, I research every aspect of the job I'm applying for. My resume is perfected and up-to-date, as are all my online profiles.  If I'm to hand in work, I will go through it with a tooth and comb. I have a lot of ideas, so it's best for me to edit, edit, edit. I am not the type that does well when I go in blind. I love to share my ideas, but I like to be left alone to figure things out. I do very well with quiet time, and strive to balance my work. If there is a weakness I will find a strength. Where there is a threat, I will look for an opportunity. Market Research? Of course. Even though I am excited by ideas, I am not driven by emotion.

Financially, I support a balanced check book and I make the time to ensure that I am secure. I'm not an emotional spender, nor am I frugal. I like nice stuff, but it must have a purpose and I must be able to afford it. If I want something and cannot not afford it, I am very good at devising a savings plan and doing what needs to be done to achieve my goal. It can be hard for me to spend my hard earned money, but if it's worth it, I will... consider it.

When it comes to my health, one opinion is never enough. I will do my own research, but I must be careful not to self-diagnose. On the off day, you may find me a little compulsive when trying to figure something out, especially when it comes to my health.

You will find me shying away in matters of love. A good relationship is one where I've taken the time to step back and assess the situation, quietly and in my own way. Push me, and I'll most likely push back, with the pointy end of my sword. I strongly believe in happy ever after, but you may find that I like to live in the idea of a perfect relationship.

I don't do spur of the moment trips. Here, you'll really see my compulsive behaviour and my ability to strategize. I've read every book, searched the maps, read reviews... at least three times over. There is no last minute surprises when I travel. My trips are well executed events, with a goal, purpose, beginning and an end. Obstacles? I've got at least three back up plans. And trust me, I've saved for my trip... just in case. Ultimately, you will never see me try out for the 'Amazing Race'.

I've done so much educationally, it's time for me to take a step back and ensure that I'm using what I've learned wisely. Do I need more education? Do I need a time out? Am I still the student or is now a good time to be the teacher? These are questions I ask myself as I've already dedicated quite a bit of time to my studies. Now is the time for me to determine if I'm on the right path.

Spiritually, I am ready to start something new. I am ready for a new fresh way of life. I've got great ideas, I've done all the backup research, and I have a sword in hand which will help me clear my new path. I am ready and able, and I accept the challenge. I'll see you on the battlefield either swinging for the fences, or plotting my way to a win.

Did I show up in your reading? Ask yourself...

Have I shared my ideas clearly?
Have I researched and done my due diligence?
Am I focused, willing and eager to learn?
Have I drawn a line in the sand, weighed my pro's and con's?

Love and Light,
Amanda

Page of Swords? Try again!


Around the Tarot in 78 Days ~ The Page of Swords

So I really thought I figured this one out. As it turns out, not so much. I learned a lesson though, when journeying through tarot, it is your journey to make, not someone else's. They may have good ideas, especially when you feel like you've done everything you can to figure something out and they come up with what seems a plausible answer within seconds. It is well worth your time to take in the advice/offer/insight. Ultimately though, it is a better use of your time if you exhale and wait until you feel the answer in your gutt.

Prince William? Totally made sense... and then it didn't. And then it did ~ and then it didn't. You know the cycle. We've all been through it, and when we're good done and tired of going through it, we whole heartily embrace it.

And then one day, while you're in the shower and you go to turn the heat up, and a spider crosses your hand, you have a #magicmoment and there in your minds eye is Jaden Smith as 'Dre Parker' AKA The Karate Kid. Yes, you are allowed to have your "of course"... I know I did :)

For my own reasons, I am leaving my older post up as it is a lesson. Spirit always has a reason... I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough.  In the meantime, I've re-posted my understanding of the Page of Sword's in effort to justify my own flip flop on this one. First thing I noticed was my original opening sentence... yes another #magicmoment

*Let's take a step back and assess the situation*

The Page of Swords brings wonder and opportunity. Big ideas and full of life, PoS is captivating and always very ready share what he knows. Always ready to learn more, and make a difference he is also a very social little friend.

As I breathe in his image and exhale the spirit that comes to me, I know him as Michael, a young leader. Someone that people will come to and follow. Not blindly, because he is thorough and smart. Even though he has a quick and youthful energy, he is organized, calculated. Michael will always be asking 'what to do I need to do, what do I need to know'.

Prepared and trained, Michael is not necessarily one of those 'natural talents'. His successes are earned because he focused on and found a way to achieve them. What I like about Michael is that he is already learning the importance of 'working smart not hard'.

A few keys words associated with PoS: Diplomacy, vigilant, observant, logical, intelligent, loyal and thoughtful. As with all pages, travel is another aspect to consider.


Dre is a social chatty little kid, always asking why and relentless when waiting for an answer. He is willing to keep coming back to learn, even if it seems silly in the beginning, he has enough sense to know he needs to stick it through in order to 'see'. He's a sweet, generous, and smart boy, who loves his friends, his master and most importantly his mother. He has his PoS in rv moments, but he's young, full of spirit, and has a solid understanding of what is right.




Memorable Quote: 

Dre Parker: Be kinda hot if I won this thing, huh, Mr. Han?
Mr. Han: Be kinda hot if you focused.
Dre Parker: Yeah, well, after that.

As I grow and see this to pass, I look forward to being engaged in the process. I do not know when it will be done, I do not know how many I will come to me or I to them. Enjoy the organic and spontaneous creation of Indigo Spirit.

Is Lindsay Lohan the Page of Swords in Reverse?

I saw this style on another blog, and I wish I could find it back so I could credit how I'm going to move forward with with my journey through Tarot. It was such a unique and fresh way to look at Tarot, without having to read the same hum drum, eon'ic descriptions found everywhere else. Although this concept is not mine, I love it, and hope you do too.

I am the Page of Swords in Reverse. I am very good at making your business mine. You might call me gossipy, but you'd be surprised how many people come to me when they want to be in the know. Don't give me deadlines, I'll get it done when I get it done... if I feel like it. It's not that I'm incapable or dim witted. In fact, I know I am quite the opposite. How else do you think I can get away with promising something, not doing it, and making it look like it was someone else's fault for not getting done?

When you're expecting a commitment from me, don't turn your back. You can't say I didn't warn you, but I'll be off and gone in the other direction the minute you're not watching me. If I must, I will hang out, but I can pretty much guarantee you that you'll send me out the door soon enough. You think I'm whining, I think I'm being assertive. If you can't handle me asking why, then don't bother asking me to 'do' either! I have better things to do. Things that have nothing to do with you and everything to do with me.

I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings? You shouldn't have been in my way to begin with. What's happening this weekend by the way? Why? Because I wanna know, and you should tell me. I just made it my business. You'll regret not telling me... you shouldn't have crossed me. I know people.

You will most likely never see me work with diligence. If I can't somehow get someone else to do it, it doesn't need to be done. I'm talented enough and smart enough to make things happen, and if you can't see that, then I don't need you! Surprised how well I pulled that last one off? That's right, I told you. I'm pretty good at what I do, when I do it on my own time.

If I'm late, it's because I had something better to do. If I didn't finish what I started, it's because I got something better to work on. If I'm irritable, it's probably you stressing me out. I don't have a problem with or issue with substance, it helps me be creative. And remember? It's none of your business, so back off.

Lindsay Lohan could have been (and who knows maybe she still can be) one of the best. She knows it, industry knows it. Creative and smart, she is also the dullest of spoiled brats with issues that just seem so passé of her know. Always sarcastic, critical and finger pointing of everyone, LiLo is as devious and disrespectful as they come. And yet, she is at her best when taking the blame off herself and placing it on everyone and everything in her destructive path. Constantly challenging the law, employers, family and friends, LiLo is a know it all who seems to be caught dead centre in Hollywood gossip. She's so good at being miserable, one can actually feel empathy for her... until you are reminded how smart and talented she really is. Rehab 23 times? Such a waste. It's a shallow and unfortunate game she's playing. We can only hope the girl doesn't someday land on her own sword.

Prince William as the Page of Swords

Around the Tarot in 78 Days ~ The Page of Swords

To me the description above is so fitting for Prince William. Watching him as a boy, he had that social innocent chattiness about him, but you could see that he also lived in his head. Very different than his rowdy little brother ;) His endeavors in charity allow for others to want to follow him. He has a generous spirit and noble heart, is well educated, and just kinda seems like that kind of guy that calculates how far the fall before he jumps. He's seen a lot, been through even more, and has come out steady and sensible.

I like Michael, the Page of Swords. He's one of those kind souls that you're ever so lucky to sit beside on the plane and learn a lot from and have a good laugh with. You walk away from him thinking to yourself, I just met the coolest guy!
