Kayla Martin, Medium

Tarot can be a powerful tool in pointing us in the right direction. I have used Tarot more than a few times to help me make decisions or to confirm that I am on the right path. But how many of us really know what Tarot is?

Did you make your guess on the post earlier today? Were you right?

Let me know in the comments!

It's inTUition TUesday!

Time to practice your intuition skills. Out of the four insanely adorable dogs pictured here, which one did I ultimately choose?

Take your time.

Take a few deep breaths.

Close your eyes if you need to.

Comment your guess below and then come back at 5 p.m. CST to find out!

When I first learned I was a psychic medium, I was shocked, to say the least. I had always been able to sense Spirits around me and often knew things that I had no way of knowing. The most surprising thing I discovered, was that my paternal grandfather (that's a real photo of him and my grandmother) was my guide through all of this.

He is not what I would consider my "Spirit Guide"... I'll do a post on that in the future... but he was right beside me from day one of my discovering my abilities to help me hone my skills and inspire me and support me in sharing my gifts with the world.

To make it even more surreal... I have never met my paternal grandfather! He passed away 12 years before I was even born!

He still comes around often when I am engaged in psychic work. I have had other sensitive people detect his presence during readings and galleries and have even had another medium "see" him pacing behind me while on a video chat.

Just because we have never met an ancestor in this life does not mean they do not check in on us and even involve themselves in our lives now. Our passed loved ones are always around us. They are there to help and support and guide us.

Never be afraid to call on loved ones in Spirit. They appreciate being remembered and are probably just around the corner, anyway.

Who has a family member in Spirit that they call on or they feel is around? Leave their names in the comments to honor them and the support they give us.

Sagittarius emphasizes exploration, adventure, and the pursuit of truth. It encourages us to seek knowledge, expand our horizons and embrace a sense of freedom and optimism.

How can you celebrate and embrace the power of the Sag full moon?
- Plan a trip (even if just for a day!)
- Take a course or read a book on a new subject to expand your knowledge
- Reflect on long-term goals and consider how your current path is or is not leading toward attaining and surpassing those goals (dream big!)
- Focus on maintaining a positive attitude
- Engage in honest, open, heart-to-heart conversations.

Happy full moon!

What are you excited to do to harness the energy of the full moon in Sagittarius?

The boys and I are gearing up for camping season!

Being an empath and a psychic/medium, I feel so connected to nature. There is nothing better than walking barefoot through the forest with nothing but the songs of the birds, the wind rustling through the leaves and the sound of my dogs noses taking in all the scents to occupy my senses.

Taking time away for myself to connect with nature reinvigorates me, mind, body, and soul.

Who else feels grounded and recharged while in nature?

One of the questions I get asked most often when doing readings is if there was someone waiting for their passed loved one on the other side. Without fail, I see hands reaching down from the heavens. There is a calm that surrounds me and the situation I am seeing during the reading. The loved one who is passing is awash with acceptance. They do not feel fear at the time of their transition. Be reassured that they are not alone during the transition to the Spirit World.

The tarot card that came up for 2024 is the Hermit. It is associated with themes such as solitude, reflection, truth-seeking, and wise counsel or advice.

When the Hermit card shows up in a reading, it may suggest that we take some time for self-reflection, meditation, or seeking solitude in order to gain insight into our current situation. It is often seen as a positive card that indicates a period of personal growth and enlightenment.

The card that came up for this year was Temperance. It is generally associated with balance, harmony, and moderation. She also brings with her the energies of patience, healing, flow and adaptability.

When this card appears, it often encourages us to find a middle path, avoid extremes, and seek harmony in your actions and relationships. It can be a positive sign that, through moderation and balance, you can overcome challenges and find a sense of peace.

I know for me, 2023 was definitely a year of excess, both good and bad. So I am ready to embrace the 2024 energy of the Temperance card and find some middle ground, balance and harmony in all aspects of my life.

What's your word for 2024?

The Phillips Island Murders - Philip Island, Austrailia.

I recently listened to a two part podcast episode by about this case. There are a lot of holes in the police theory of what happened, and the wife is still missing. This crime happened before DNA testing was as precise as it is now and they were only able to get the blood type of someone who contributed blood at the crime scene. There is one person, I feel, knows more than she is saying that no one seems to pay enough attention to attention to… a friend of Viv’s named Marney. From the moment her name was mentioned, my psychic spidey sense went crazy and I have not been able to shake it. Does she know where Viv is? Does she know what really happened that night? Or did she even, possibly, commit the murder herself?

Harness the power of the moon in 2024 and let it guide you towards manifesting your wildest dreams!

I have created a guide to the full and new moons of 2024. This guide includes a calendar with all of the full and new moons for the new year. Each moon is paired with a unique affirmation to help call in the energy of the stars while setting your intention under the moon.

Tarot card for the month of September 2023 is
JUDGMENT.

The meaning for this card is pretty obvious by its name, but it can also speak to rebirth and the realization of an inner calling. Judgment is often viewed as a negative thing, however it can also bring forth a lot of positive. When we are judged for our actions (or inactions), it forces us to look at ourselves and reevaluate if our life trajectory aligns with our soul values. Every thought, idea or opinion someone has on us (or we have on ourselves) is a judgment, both harsh judgment or praise.

Think of it like a car with lane assist - that fancy feature that reads the lines on the road and lets us know if we are drifting into another lane. Judgment is like that feature - letting us know that we are drifting out of alignment with our soul's values and astray from the lessons we are sent to Earth to learn in this lifetime. This often requires us to take our minds and bodies off of autopilot and, with increased self awareness, make the corrections needed to ensure we are navigating in the right direction and not drifting astray.

This month, be aware of where the Universe is guiding you and what navigation changes you need to make to be more in alignment with your soul's purpose.

Hello my pretty 🌙

As nurse, I LOATHE full moons… it really is true what they say. You don’t know the meaning of “💩hits the fan” until you’ve worked as a nurse during a full moon. Everyone is losing their mind, everything is going wrong… and that’s not even including the patients. 😂

But as a psychic/medium, “spiritualist” (read… some unique, motley combo of buddhist, neo-pagan, new age Wiccan, pretty sure I made some of this up), I absolutely LOVE them.

They’re a time to connect with nature at the highest level - have you ever sat outside under a full moon, feeling it’s energy and letting its luminous brilliance wash over your entire body? Because you really should.

It’s a time to recognize the natural cycles of the universe.

A time to purge what no longer serves you, body, mind and soul.

What’s your favorite thing about full moons?

So what's the big deal with astrology, anyway?

Astrology is a type of divination (practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means) used for centuries to help predict how events would play out based on various celestial aspects' position in the sky. In other words... trying to predict what would happen (or making sense of what happened) based on where the planets and stars were at the time. There is a WHOLE lot to know about so I'm sure you will be seeing several posts in the near future about various aspects (little astrology joke for you🤦‍♀️) so I can break it down into more manageable chunks.

I could talk - or, rather, write - for hours on all things astrology: each of the individual zodiac signs, sun sign, rising sign, moon sign, houses, Chiron, locations of each planet, birth charts... the list seriously goes on and on.

But let's start with something MOST people are at least a little bit familiar with (even if you don't realize it): your ✨SUN SIGN✨.

Your SUN SIGN indicates the position of the sun on the day you were born. When someone asks you "what's your sign" this is to what they are referring. There are 12 zodiac signs and the sun enters each sign (approximately) around the 21st of each month and exits that sign (approximately) the 21st of the following month. The signs of the zodiac are:

♈️Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
♉️Ta**us (Apr 20 - May 20)
♊️Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
♋️Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
♌️Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
♍️Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
♎️Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
♏️Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
♐️Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
♑️Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
♒️Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
♓️Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

These signs are also divided up into elements:
🔥FIRE: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
🌊WATER: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
🪨 EARTH: Ta**us, Virgo, Capricorn
💨 AIR: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Phew... That's a lot of info for the intro to astrology. There are SO many resources you can check out if you want to learn more about your sign, your birth chart, the element your sign coincides, etc. Some of my favorites are Cafe Astrology and Horoscope.com (I am in no way affiliated with either of these sites).

So... 😏 what's your sign?

Happy NEW MOON in LEO🌙♌️

As I've said so many times in my posts, the NEW MOON is a great time to refresh, reset, and recharge ourselves, getting really clear on what we want to manifest and the trajectory we want our lives to take over the next 28 (and beyond) days. One of my go-to new moon activities is to journal. I basically make a little vision board but with words (because artistry is NOT one of my strengths). This really helps me be intentional and keep the things I am working to manifest top of mind for the month.

When I was going through a lot of personal growth and healing a lot of things from the past, I even wrote letters to myself. I wrote the letter to myself in that moment, but as if it was me five years from now, writing it. I would tell myself about how the struggle I was in currently is only temporary and what it looked (and felt) like when I emerged out the other side. I talked about all of the things I had manifested for myself since then; more than my current self even thought possible.

NEW MOONS are a time to dream ✨BIG✨! And with the new moon in LEO we can harness the power and pride and boldness of the lion within us and really reach to the furthest stretches of our imagination 🦁.

How do you celebrate the new moon?

CHANNELED MESSAGE

This week, Spirit wants to bring your awareness to one word that is easy to say and spell, and has a recognizable symbol... but is often difficult to achieve. PEACE.

Spirit is asking us to make peace in all areas of our lives. Is there someone we have wronged or who has wronged us and we need to make amends? (Remember this week's card... the 5 of swords? If not, go to yesterday's post!). Is there someone we need to forgive that maybe we cannot make amends with in person? Are we at peace with our work life? Our home life? Our relationships (with people AND with things/ideas)? Are we at peace with ourselves?

I encourage you to take a few minutes to journal or meditate on the word peace. What does it mean to you and where are you needing to bring a little more peace in your life?
