FAITH AND MONEY

If this Oracle answer turns up in the future position in a reading, you need to be very careful about the financial, work or personal decisions you are making. Why? Because this answer describes insecurity and a great need for money. Remember, as always, changing the present can change the future.

This answer is about faith, as well as money, because in order to balance your situation, you are going to have to move out of a negative mindset and tune into the possibilities elsewhere. This may be hard. Sometimes, if hard times go on for long enough, it’s easy to keep plodding on the ‘poor me’ track forever.

This answer is very much about self-appreciation, self-confidence and faith. It is about needing to stop – even for a moment – to shake yourself out of the belief that the only thing to do is keep going in the same direction. Remember who you are and what you are capable of. Find your trust in the universe again.

It is easy to understand why you may feel out of touch – even blind to life’s rich possibilities – if you have been struggling for a long time. This is why timing and sensitivity are so important, if you are ever going to discover what is possible. Use your sixth sense to tune into the options. And take a moment to pause.

Doing this could actually turn your situation around as you discover, to your amazement, that having faith in the possibility that abundance is out there, can be enough to change the entire picture. Who knows what more there might be for you? But you’ll never know unless you believe you can receive.

One thing is certain. To keep grinding away in a situation of no abundance is to hang onto the kind of negative emotion that will never do you any favours. So a change of mind and heart is required. An act of faith, in fact. Faith can move mountains. And it can also open the door to real possibilities.

Present

THE NEED TO RECONNECT

This Oracle answer is about the need to reconnect with people you have chosen to cut yourself off from. If you don’t, then you will miss out on relationships with real potential. There is also a risk that other people will appear and take them away from you. Time, and life itself, may also erode what is currently still there.

Even the offer of something or someone new may not be enough to tempt you during this phase. That alone should show you where the problem lies. The issue is not the value or worth of the people in question, it’s actually your own attitude. Something (or someone) has distanced you from human relationships.

You may feel stubborn about staying by yourself. You may feel defensive. You may feel complacent – or cynical. You may even have lost interest entirely. None of these emotional states are likely to get you very far. Thus, the first step in reconnecting yourself to others is to begin working on your attitude.

You can sit there passively, if you like, and wait for someone to come and rescue you. But there are no guarantees this will happen. Alternatively you can leave the situation you find yourself in, and seek help. Once you have lost the negativity, you will be amazed at how different those same people look to you.

If you are lucky then a new relationship may still be on offer once you have transformed yourself. And then you can begin again, with an entirely different kind of connection. One that you contribute to, energetically and passionately. One that you can value, appreciate and nurture for a long time to come.

If it’s solitude you seek then you can have this, but in a way which feels peaceful and fulfilling. And also in a way which leaves others feeling involved in your life, rather than distanced from it. And if you really want affection and intimacy? Well, it’s out there for you. But first, life reorganisation is required.

Future

INSPIRATION

Inspiration comes in many different ways. It can arrive in the form of a dream. It may appear as a classic ‘flash’ – a sudden brainwave that seems to come from nowhere. Sometimes inspiration is felt as a mysterious flow; an inner knowing about what to do, and how to do it. In all cases, it feels special and unusual.

To act on inspiration requires trust or experience. The trust may come because you have a particular kind of faith or belief system. Thus, you may act on your inspiration because you believe it’s coming a higher power, or even from your spirit guides. You may believe it has a divine source.

If you have experienced inspiration several times before and found it to be accurate and reliable, that will also make a difference. Your familiarity with that feeling of inner certainty makes you confident about relying upon it. If it’s worked for you before, then why shouldn’t it work for you again?

Creative inspiration is a well known phenomenon among artists, writers and musicians. Fashion designers call it the Muse. Stockbrokers call it a hunch. In the military and police force inspiration is known as a gut feeling. Scientists label it as ESP or Psi. Mediums call it channeled wisdom from the spirit world.

This is a special Oracle answer. It describes a situation where you are connected to something greater than yourself. You could call it divine intelligence, or the universe, or (if you’re into Star Wars) The Force! Inspiration of this kind connects you to heaven and earth at the same time. It’s worth acting on.

Inspiration has a special quality which connects you to the Universe, or all that is. Everything and everybody. It’s a certainty, a knowing, a feeling that directs you to act in a way which benefits you, and everyone around you. Whatever your belief system, it plugs you into the wider world, in the right way at the right time.
