Rise and shine wild ones!
It's Bernadette King.
I am here with your pick a card daily tarot reading for Saturday, September 26th.
Woo, Saturdays.
It is, who doesn't love a Saturday?
It's the third eye chakra.
We get to like take time while we're doing everything, getting prepared, caught up from
the week, getting ready to head into the next week, getting all the loose ends done.
It's really, it can be a time of great meditation
as you kind of go through all those things like an active meditation.
And the the ruling planet is Saturn, which is you know it's the task master.
It's, let's get it done, let's move.
It, it's a little bit like Tuesday, but maybe even a little more amped up.
Because Tuesday is usually about work but this is about usually your life.
And I just really love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love,
love that the oyster card came out for today this Saturday and I'll tell you why.
Way earlier in the week, when we started on Monday, I shared with you guys that intuitively
I've been being told by the animal allies that we are really, we've turned a corner.
It, all over the world.
And that all of the the panicky energies, the pandemic energies and whatnot
that is really falling by the wayside quite a bit and we're moving into a time of peace.
And things are changing for the better.
And we've been under so much pressure that it's just a little bit a little crazy.
And what comes out of the pressure from an oyster?
A pearl, y'all.
See the pearl right up in there?
Lustrous and beautiful and iridescent, all the colors of the rainbow.
Smooth and perfectly spherical.
And that sphere is about all the beautiful, lustrous, colorful energy being sent out equally
in all the, you know, all the directions of a sphere, that's what sphere symbolism is all about.
And so on this Saturday, having the oyster come to you lets you know that no matter what you're
doing, no matter what you're trying to accomplish, no matter what kind of pressure you've been under,
it's your time, it's your time to shine.
And it's interesting because the oyster actually
came out for me when I started the daily readings way way back in May.
And they I had just had you know that was the
start of the COVID and the pandemic and we were moving into it pretty heavily and
the world was freaking out like it was just the first vestiges of it.
And I flipped over to Facebook like a schmuck.
And feed after feed after feed of doom and gloom and oh my God.
And this card came up so when I asked spirit what
you know what you know I asked the animal allies what do you want me to tell them?
They said look tell them what it is.
It's short and sweet.
Yeah, everything looks like big hammered poopy now
but at the end of the day the world is their oyster.
Anything that's possible can still be theirs.
Any kind of creative growth, positive change that they want to make can still be theirs.
Because what it shows you is that precious, beautiful, radiant, perfection that is a really
high quality not man-made but real oyster or real pearl, it comes from patience over time.
You've just got to have the patience.
You've got to you've got to work like an oyster does.
They've got that really hard outer shell that allows them to endure the
harshest circumstances, the harshest environments.
Well inside they're creating such a thing of beauty
that all of the irritations, all of the setbacks, all of the you know all of the scary encounters,
there's they're still embracing the tides, they're still embracing the change.
And alchemically, what's happening inside of you that's now going to affect your outside world
is you are creating a pearl.
You might be becoming the pearl.
You might be helping your children turn into pearls.
You might be turning a business into a pearl.
You might be turning a love affair, like you know the list goes on and on and on.
But at the end of the day, it's becoming the most lustrous, iridescent, radiant,
beautiful pearl, beautiful pearl it ever could be.
"So the other thing that you know, pardon me pardon me all, that oyster is telling
you is that on this Saturday it is definitely important you know this is gosh you know what
this is like what the fourth or fifth water element creature to come out this week."
I just realized that.
Holy cow this whole week has been all about the emotions.
Wowsers, wowsers, wowsers.
Okay, so as you're going through your get it done day, you know your catch up on things day.
Everything that a Saturday brings.
And again I mentioned a little bit earlier about how it can be a bit of an active meditation.
You can, just you know, you get the rhythm of doing the dishes, you get the rhythm of doing
laundry, you get the rhythm of vacuuming, or whatever and it really does kind of lull you
into that rhythm where you just let your mind wander.
You let it empty.
And you start thinking of things that maybe you hadn't thunk of but needed to thunk of.
And it's it's really a good time to think about transformations.
You know, oysters do this naturally.
The pearls develop in them naturally.
And I I really, I'm being told by the animal allies that
those of you that are listening to this today, those of you that are watching this video and
thank you very much by the way for tuning in, you probably are people that overthink.
Or even if that's not your natural state,
maybe you're going through a time where you're overthinking.
And don't don't overthink it, just let your mind dump out.
Let, let, just let all that stuff go out into mama ocean.
Let the waves carry it away.
Maybe make yourself a pina colada.
Put on some Jimmy Buffett.
You know maybe get some island music cooking up in there.
Go buy a coconut.
Put on a coconut bra.
Whatever you gotta do, get some beach up in your step, right.
Get some sand between your toes.
And let those ideas, let those transformations just come to you naturally.
You know, you may have something come to you that maybe even a little irritated at work.
Maybe you've been a little irritated within the family, with friends, and you just don't know why.
You're like I know something needs to change I just don't know what.
And all of a sudden [splashing noise], like when you go to the beach you get
whapped upside the head by a big old wave, right.
You're like, oh could have had a v8 right.
And so just let that come in and just focus on an oyster when you do that.
Now, interestingly oysters come in clusters, right.
And this particular card is in the prehistoric and mythological expansion pack of my Ark Tarot
which is what I read for you guys with is my award-winning Animal Ark Tarot.
It's based on the Rider Waite system.
But it brings all of the greatness of the animal ally energy and medicine into it,
which gives the most unbelievably in-depth and accurate readings.
The miracles that happen, it's crazy.
So in the in the prehistoric and mythological expansion deck for the Ark, that was put in there
because you know weird the animal allies are like look you know for decades really kind of since
the 70s and the whole metaphysical thing really exploded and all the indigenous teachings started
to come to light in more mainstream way and all the ancient ways started to be more accepted by
you know societies really all over the world but certainly here in America,
because we come from such puritan backgrounds, right.
It really was a call to go back to some of the ancient ways,
but they don't really need to go, we don't have to go backwards, we just have to remember them.
Because they're still such a natural part of us.
And we just have not recognized that.
So when you take a look at how oysters grow they grow in big clusters.
And if you've never had to shuck an oyster out of a cluster, lordy be.
Y'all, I've been to more oyster shucks and clambakes in my life,
well when I ate meat, than the man on the moon.
And it's hard, it's hard, it's hard.
But what you know is that these little bastards stick together like nobody's business.
So when anybody's ever talking about family, I love to bring up oysters because
my God when they cluster, together you just can't you just can't hardly get them apart.
And I think for families, you know, in in ancient times even leading up
to the middle ages and whatnot, family and loyalty and fidelity was no joke.
Today, I would venture to say that you know maybe the advent and rise of plastic in the throwaway
society that we have, has certainly led to a wave of people who may not you know,
they may think they mean what they say when it comes to,
you know, I'm loyal to family and family is everything family first yak, yak, yak.
But when when they're under pressure and push comes to shove, what does that really mean?
Now you may know people like this.
You may be a person like this yourself.
Maybe you've recently had your loyalty tested.
I did.
I had a business thing go on just recently that
I really put my loyalty to a good friend to the test.
And I it cost me.
Oh yes it cost me.
But I stood my ground.
And I was loyal.
And I did the right thing.
And you know what I'm glad for it.
I'm grateful for it.
And in this particular instance, I had to stop and I had to think for a minute what I wanted to do.
And then I was like Bernadette King, I heard my mom's voice she was like Bernadette.
And when she said that I was like well when I heard her say
that in my psychic mind I was like I don't, I don't even, we're done here.
And I did the loyal thing.
And so I'm not saying you should be like me and I'm not saying my choices are the best choices,
what I'm saying is that potentially you might be
being faced with a situation where all the family has to band together.
Now that could be something as benign as where do we go on family vacation this year you guys?
But, you know if you've ever been to a family dinner like a Yule,
a Christmas, a Thanksgiving, a Kwanzaa, you know whatever it is you celebrate,
you know during the holidays that are very hectic and very self-pressurized.
That stuff can explode.
People say things they don't think, they don't mean, they don't you know.
And so it could be something as benign as that or like my family last year,
they decided to rally around me, I almost died last year, I was very, very ill.
And men my family they were like soldiers.
They were standing at my doorstep at the ready.
Anything I needed.
Anything I wanted.
Things I didn't even think I know I needed and wanted.
And it you know it caused them all kinds of
discombobulation to their own schedules, to their own lives.
And I'm very, very fortunate to have a family like that.
We have family that would literally take a bullet for each other.
And again it doesn't have to be as drastic as that.
It can be you know just listen do anything you can to avoid the kerfuffle over what movie to
go to on Friday night or what kind of popcorn to pop on Friday night or Saturday night or whatever.
Because those little things add up and they make big things, right.
Okay, so when we take a look at spirit,
the spirit, totem, and power animal aspect of an oyster.
It, I, I have I have gotten more emails about why an oyster is considered a spirit totem
power animal I'm like well so is a centaur and so is a minotaur and so is you know
a triceratops and so is a stegosaurus.
Whether it's a an animal that people have created in their own mind,
any living thing that's considered in the animal kingdom, can be a spirit animal, including humans.
And so if this if if oyster has come to you today as a spirit
animal and the difference between spirit, totem, and power animals
is described in depth in a video the link to that is below in the notes.
I really encourage you to read it.
It'll give you a really fresh perspective.
It's a brand new way that the animals downloaded
into me about working with their energy and medicine.
It's getting amazing results with my clients and my students.
And so if, if, if oyster has come to you today on this Saturday as a spirit animal, I implore you
your animal spirit guides are begging you to know that this is the moment right now in this moment
while you're watching this video, please, please recognize what a rare and true beauty you are.
Don't hide your light from the world.
Don't dull your own luster.
Shine into the world whatever you want to shine.
That, that can be on maybe you don't say two words to people.
Maybe you're an introvert.
Okay.
But in the way that you wish, in the way that you want, just allow whoever you are that
iridescence to just sparkle out from you, but most importantly to realize that you are beautiful.
That you are beautiful, no matter what pressures you're under, no matter what
irritants are in your life, no matter how much the waves are crashing up against you,
you're carrying your true beauty everywhere you go.
If oyster now is coming to you as your totem animal, I love this, I love you oyster people.
It's who you are.
And I admire you because you know, as those of us that walk along a spiritual path start to
identify shadow aspects of ourself, one of my shadow aspects is I'm quick to judgment.
Now I would like to say I'm quick to discernment, but between the psychic self and the Bernadette
self, I can never really be 100% sure when I meet someone a situation that I'm not like
judging or am I seeing or what I am, so I work really hard on that.
But to you oyster people, you never judge a book by its cover.
Because think about it.
On the outside, before an oyster you get all the gunk off of them, oyster shells are
really not the most beautiful shells, and they're dangerous, they're sharp as but jeevers, y'all.
Oh my God, I can't tell you how many times I cut myself on an oyster shell,
growing up in Florida right.
Okay, so it's, it's just they're they're just a hot mess on the outside to our judgment.
And on the inside they have these really beautiful pearls, a lot of them, not all of them.
But you know a lot of them do.
And so you just, man you just never judge a book by its cover.
You wait for the beauty to reveal itself.
You've got the patience and the stamina to do that.
I love you.
Thank you for waiting.
Thank you for what you bring to the world.
And teach those of us that are not quite as maybe enlightened as you are in that area.
Okay, so if you are invoking oyster as your power animal, you're probably like Bernadette
how could a oyster be a power animal?
It's just a little bitty old crustacean.
That people pop open and eat with horseradish and cocktail sauce and some saltines
with ice cold beer because that's the only way they're any good.
Well, that's not true, oysters rockefeller's pretty good.
So, when I used to eat meat, so anyway,
you know here's the thing, oyster can be an amazing power animal.
Do you know what it takes to withstand the irritants and the currents of the ocean?
And glom together like that so that you're stable and you're solid and
you don't get toted off to never never land?
You know under the sea, take it from me.
I mean the sea and the oceans get real deep y'all.
And oysters, they're not that deep they're kind of in the shallow areas.
So that said, when you want to reignite passions in your life,
that's when you call on oyster as your power animal.
Now if you if you take a look at Greek mythology or Roman mythology,
which I do a lot when I'm researching you know the meanings of spirit, totem, and power animals.
If you go all the way back to the Grecian and Roman times, some think oysters were
a gift from Aphrodite, the goddess of love, very specifically to help our inner fires.
And in the Celtic tradition, they associate oysters with the sea goddess who has really
strong connections to lunar energies, the moon, and so overall, it's about that hidden romance,
you know that beautiful oyster tucked up in there under that shell.
It's about gorgeous moon energies, you know all the romance of the moon and the beaches bring us.
Because you'll never have a better making out session
than in the moonlight on a beach, just saying.
Even a bonfire, just saying.
And so when when you need to re, I don't know re-emerge, reawaken, ignite passions, romance,
being able to see the beauty, being able to sparkle and shine in that arena,
knowing that you are beautiful to someone in that arena, and allowing other people to to to
through you see their own beauty reflected in your eyes or in your spirit, it's such a great gift.
And what's more powerful than that, right?
So I hope this has been helpful to you.
