Rise and shine wild ones.
It's Bernadette.
I am here on this Monday, October 19th with your pick a card daily tarot reading.
If you don't know what the card is yet here's a hint.
When the buzzer rings away oh.
They're walking like an Egyptian.
Slap me right back into the 80s.
Couldn't find a dang thing Egyptian in my house to wear.
I'm going to take care of that.
Next time we got Egypt coming up I'm going to be all over it, yes I am.
Okay so the card today is the Scarab, the Ten of Wands.
And you know it's kind of crazy that it shows up on a Monday because you know money is about
the root chakra, right.
And Monday is all about the moon energy, which is all about the emotions and the shadowy
side of life and that kind of thing.
But the the Ten of Wands is and the Scarab that's very closely related to the sun God
Ra in in Egyptian lore and legend.
And so you've got two kind of dichotomously opposed planetary influences.
You've got the sun you've got the moon and then you've got the overall meaning even before
we get to the Scarab.
Let's talk about the meaning of the Ten of Wands for you in particular on this Monday.
And some of you will be at work, you're working from home, you're back to work, you're schooling
your children.
It's, this is a big thing to pay attention to this little baby bug.
Because it's my God the mythology behind this is just unbelievable.
And in metaphysical, new agey, shamanic circles, it's a very extremely respected totem animal,
power animal, spirit animal.
So you know you better wake up and pay attention.
All right so as you know I use my own award-winning Ark Animal Tarot and Oracle Deck.
And as we take a look at what the traditional card means in the writer weight deck because
that's what this my deck is based on, we take a look at this old boy who is just you know
man he looks like he's got his back in it he looks like he's toiling like nobody's business.
And I, that cracks me up because you know clearly he ain't a country boy.
If he's a country boy he'd have his pickup truck there and those wands be tossed in the
back of that truck and he'd be down the road taking those things wherever they are and
get to with his buddies and all their beer in their cooler and those things will be loaded
and plugged in the ground lickety-split.
The reason I bring that up is because this card, the meaning of it is ambition is a good
servant but a bad master.
And I have often mentioned in my videos and my writing I'm a straight-up workaholic.
And there was a time in my life it was super detrimental.
And I it's not that way anymore I do it for the pure love of creation.
For the pure love of you know it is my art.
It is my life.
It is my opus so to speak whatever you know I'm putting out there.
And for you all today, what is just please it's critical please, please, please pay attention
to this is you, you don't have to toil as hard as you think you have to toil.
And where you're from in this world matters.
I mean certainly as it comes to all the cards, but it matters as it comes to this card.
If you're a New Yorker, if you are Californian, if you are from Brazil, if you're from Africa,
if you're from England, if you're from wherever, what does hard work mean there?
And how do people by in large accomplish these big tasks that they set out to do?
And so when I bring up my reference for you know how to make that happen, I grew up in
a real practical kind of like you just roll up your shirt sleeves, you get her done.
But you look for the ways that aren't gonna make you break your back.
I hesitate to work smart not hard .
You know we all hear that and then when we're in the middle of sweating our minds out and
you know we're like go one more step, we, we may not think that we've made the smartest
choices.
And we may think we're working too hard but maybe that's because we didn't set the intention
of working smarter first.
It's kind of like when you've got to pick up something super heavy and you're struggling
and struggling and you're like oh and somebody brings out a metal pole as a lever and says
plink and that 70 or 80 pound thing just pops right out of the ground.
I bring that up because my ex-husband and I were taking that concrete footer one time
for a post and he's like wow, he's he's built like baby atlas, the guy's stronger than,
it's unreal, he's superhuman.
And I just looked at him and I went over and got a medal I just leveraged that thing down
and put my foot on it and that big old you know hunk of cement said plot right on the
ground.
You should see a look on his face it was hilarious.
I laugh about it today.
But it you know this card really does mean that.
And when you take a look at the pyramids in the back, remember that pyramids gather energy
from the bottom up.
And it comes to their apex, right.
And then that energy shoots out the top.
And what's cool about a pyramid is you can direct that point anywhere you want.
The other thing about the Ten of Wands, you know, just to take a little bit deeper look
into its symbolism, is it really is a you reap what you sow.
And when you take a look at how the wands, the sticks are fanned out they could be blocking
his vision a bit.
And you don't want to.
He, he can't, he can't see the beautiful blue sky in front of him.
He can't see you know the freshly plowed field.
He, he can't see.
He can't see.
And that's a big part of this which is interesting because the, the Kabbalists call this card
the lord of oppression.
And you you don't have to have it be that way you you can still have your fiery enthusiasm
because astrologically this card corresponds to Saturn and Sagittarius, which is all about
you know let's go, let's go, let's go, fire, fire, fire.
But if you think kind of of Ebenezer Scrooge and like he's this wildly successful businessman
but he's got no compassion or love for anybody including himself.
And he and he comes to find out he doesn't even really love his money.
Even if it's not about the money, whatever you're doing, there's something there that
is driving you and blocking your vision from what it is that you really need to see.
Now, it's, it is a card that that says hey there's success in all things.
That's coming to you.
That's a harbinger.
It's an omen that whatever big burden that you're, that you are carrying or you're gathering
up or you're trying to move, because every time I see this card in a reading, I feel
like somebody wants to move physically.
And whether it's a job, a relationship, a home.
And sure enough like 99 of the time that's it.
So maybe you want to move your business or your home from one place to another.
Maybe you want to move from one business to another.
Maybe there's something that you want to achieve.
It could be, it could be dropping weight.
It, that you know certainly good lord knows you know I'm the queen of oppression when
it comes to dropping that weight, right.
So that's the hardest dang thing.
But there's something you've got cooking, it's so important that you see this today
so that you can marry the energies of the sun, which illuminates in its own way and
the moon which illuminates in its own way.
And that may be as simple as making sure that you're getting enough sleep at night, so that
when you're in the dream time, you can travel to the astral planes, to the places that you
want to go, and get the information that you need at that time to, to create this thing.
Now, one of the things that people joke about with beetles is that they lay their you know,
they're dung beetles, and they lay their eggs in poo.
And again I'm an old country girl, I, y'all I stand by good poo.
You ever want anything to grow you carry yourself over to some some old boys you know farm and
get a whole bunch of cow manure and let it, you know let it sit and cure and whatever.
And then oh my God if you can get a hold of rabbit poo, that stuff is worth its weight
in platinum right there.
So there's something about I know how funny that sounds.
I really do.
Maybe we should take a break and walk like an Egyptian just because I know how kooky
that sounds.
But they're really what it's saying is there's a fertilizer that you're missing.
What is that fertilizer?
What do you need to fertilize this crop that you're planting?
This endeavor that you're making, that you're doing and and how long should you let it like
cure in there?
How long should you let it gestate in there?
Well you can take a look at all kinds of things.
You can take a look at the amount of you know legs that a beetle has, whatever kind of Scarab
that you like.
You can take a look at you know the horns.
Anytime I see an animal that's got horns that's always a call that they're an antenna to the
divine.
They're getting more divine messages than you might imagine.
And it does, you know, it does call for when they lay their eggs and they they bury them
and dunk they bury those eggs under the ground.
They just let it sit.
And that may be it.
You just may need to plant it and then just sit and be quiet.
Last week was a big message about that.
About having the strength to just sit in quiet and let things spin around you for your own
highest and best good, in in the most positive ways.
And man oh man that resonated with a whole bunch of you.
You guys my inbox said kablam.
And I'm glad it was helpful.
I'm so happy it was helpful because this past week has been the week of readings where it's
just been like no matter how much I've said hold on, hold on, hold on, wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute, people just needed to get their stories out and they were
just like [speed noise].
And okay.
There I sat trying to go, okay I'm getting this psychic message.
And I just started taking notes and gave all their psychic messages at the end because
at the beginning, they just had this need to go you know torpedo.
And that's okay.
So, when you're thinking about what what fertilizer to use and where to plant it and store it
and keep it safe, while it's fertilizing, while it's gestating, give some thought to
that.
Because, I don't know y'all I just have this, I don't know, I just have this feeling.
There's so many of you out there that, that have these great plans and I'm not saying
like take over the world or you know do this or do that, but whatever that means for you,
y'all got stuff cooking out there.
And it's beautiful.
And you're gonna do it.
Meaning if, if this reading is really is just as simple as you just woke up today and asked
the animal allies to say hey, if I start this I just need a sign that it's the right path
for me and it's all going to be okay.
Okay.
Here's your sign.
In a beautiful, iridescent, just gorgeous shell, Scarab.
And you know when you think about insects, you think about the mythology and the symbolism
and meaning of insects, well man they're clean, they're quicker picker uppers man.
They're all about cleaning up this earth.
And there might be, there might be a call for you to find an area that needs cleaning
up first.
And then you plant the seeds and you do this.
You know in the south we call it preparing the field.
Or you know cultivating that, you know listen you don't have to be from the south and all
that stuff.
But you know I don't know, there's just something, the feeling of this is so big but it feels
so solid and safe and stable, that if you don't plunge yourself over the edge, if you
don't turn into this guy that's like you know what, what do you suppose those wands weigh?
10, 10 pounds a piece, maybe.
Probably not.
You know if you don't turn into this guy, that's like with the Ten of Wands and you
stop seeing, you allow yourself to see, you, I can't even imagine what you're gonna accomplish.
Okay, so let's say that Scarab has come to you today as a spirit animal, well it, it
really is time for you to trust that you've chosen the right path, even if, oh gosh y'all
last week oh I had this poor old gal.
I just wanted to give her a big hug.
She just was convinced that she had made absolute mincemeat of her life.
She is just convinced that everything had gone to the s word and there would never be
any coming back from it.
She's only in her 30s.
I'm like just listen, mathematically speaking the odds are ever in your favor.
Okay.
So, let's get that straight from the jump.
But, but then she was able to get specifics from the animal allies that made her see things
in a different light.
So today just trust that if you feel in your spirit in your heart, that Scarab has come
to you as a spirit animal, you're on the right path or you're fixing to be on the right path.
You really are.
Just put, just place your trust in that, okay.
So if you are, you identify with Scarab as a totem animal, and man I have a buddy, I,
I know this person, I just know it in the deepest part of my soul, I think this probably
the first life this person has been back since ancient Egypt.
I think they just, she just resonates with that time so much.
And it's her entire focus.
I really believe she's like this misplaced you know Egyptian Goddess.
Egyptian queen.
Egyptian something.
And she's, she is a great achiever.
A great achiever.
And, and the Egyptians were, right.
So you're a great achiever.
Good for you.
Now, if, if Scarab has come to you if you're feeling like well I want to get all like the
powerful parts or the strongest parts from Scarab, it really is about self-protection.
And remember this is a flying insect, which means yes they bear it and again you know
you've got the sun energy of Ra, you've got the moon energy of a Monday.
And you've got all these dichotomies.
And then we know that the regeneration, the cultivating, the planting of of their species
comes by putting their eggs in the little dung things and burying them underground.
If that's not earth energy, I don't even know what is.
Which of course dovetails on today being the root chakra day, right.
Okay.
And now beetles are winged things.
Which immediately ties them to the air element.
And that activates your throat chakra, your communication, your higher self.
You, you might need help.
I mean listen, I, I understand not wanting to ask for help.
Man I'd rather, I'd rather step on my own lips, truly I would.
But there is great wisdom in asking for help.
And you might need some help with this.
So realize this doesn't have to be a physical endeavor it can be a mental endeavor I've
been thinking about some changes with whatismyspiritanimal.com and they're no joke.
I mean it's gonna take a little bit of time and it's gonna cost a little bit of money
but I've, I've, I feel like because I've been told by the spirit animals, that it's gonna
best serve the community so I'm gonna do it.
And it's it's taken me a couple years to like wrap my head around you know doing it but
finally I'm like okay there's my sign.
And it's, it, that's a call on you today because it's about self-protection because there's
gonna be something about your community, about who you wanna serve whether it's yourself,
your family, you know the community at large.
I don't know what it is, but write in and tell me or put it in the comments below, because
y'all out there, you, you're some smart, powerful people.
And I just can feel it man.
I'm just like oohhhhh .
There's something buzzing around this morning's reading for a Monday, right.
And it is, it's powerful.
No matter how tiny those little beetles are remember when the iridescent ones glisten
in the sunlight.
It takes people's breath away.
They don't even think they're real.
They're like is that a glass sculpture is that a you know it, but it is real.
And all of those colors, all of the beauty, all of the everything it's yours.
You just gotta reach out and grab it.
Don't, don't you know fall like a domino.
Don't do that.
Right, walk like an Egyptian all you want.
But don't fall down like a domino.
Ask for help.
Understand that you've got to look at both sides of the situation because you've got
the sun and you've got the moon energy.
And you'll be fine bubbala.
It'll be fabulous.
It'll just be so great.
And tell me what it is.
I love to hear you guys as success stories.
They just, yeah they do, and they they just warm my heart so much because you know the
spirit animals and I always want the best for you.
