Among the Butterflies

Major Blessing(s) and Advice.

Tools: Oracle Cards – The Wisdom of the Tao Vol. I: Awakenings & Vol. II: Strategy

How to determine your Sun, Moon and Rising Nakshatra:

Please note: I am using Vedic Astrology. Sidereal Zodiac and Lahiri Ayanamsa.

Step 1: Obtain your birth certificate. Normally, this is the long form with a listed birth time. Don’t ask your parents, they don’t remember or they will provide you with an inaccurate birth time. If you cannot obtain your birth certificate with a birth time listed due to extenuating circumstances then for the time being just use 12:00 p.m. as your “birth time.”

Step 2: Use an online Vedic Astrology Birth Chart Calculator. I recommend Mickey McKay’s. Enter your birth date, birth time and birth location. If you are not able to confirm your birth time then you can count on the Sun Nakshatra listed being accurate. You will need to know your accurate time of birth to determine your Moon and Rising nakshatras.

Alternative Option: You can order an Astrological report from me, if you do have your accurate time of birth. The report will come as a PDF and it will include your birth chart with planetary info (includes outer planets, Brighu Point, Pranapada and Midheaven) and divisional charts, Vimshottari dashas, Jaimini system calculations, benefic yogas and lucky points present in your chart. The benefits of ordering an astrological report from me is you no longer have to go through different websites, you have everything in one report. Unfortunately, many websites will use different sets of calculations and hence, give different ascendants and planetary placements. You can pay for your order via Cash App ($26) and send to: $amongthebutterflies. Please include your:

• Full name
• Gender
• Date of birth (Example: January 1, 1950) 
• Time of birth (AM or PM)
• Place of birth (City, State, Country)
• Email address (Email can take 15 mb or more of attachments)
• Please allow up to 48 hours for the report delivery.

Example

Barbie Ferreira’s birth time has not been verified, but we do know her birth date and place of birth. After I entered this information in McKay’s online birth chart calculator using a 12pm “birth time”. We can see her Sun is in Scorpio in the Nakshatra of Jyeshtha. Therefore, Barbie is a Jyeshtha Sun.

Ashwini Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Master Card. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year is the realization that less is more. You may have a tendency to over exert your own energy when facing obstacles or setbacks in life. You will suddenly have the epiphany that you don’t have to go outside of yourself nor do you have to go above and beyond to find a solution. A solution to any personal, financial or relationship challenge you experience during the year is already inside of you. You will realize the power of your own mind. You are stronger than you think. All it takes is redirecting your thoughts and rewriting old thoughts and beliefs you have been carrying since the last year or the majority of your life. You will also come to find that when facing a problem, it is not about what you must do, but rather what you must not do. You will also realize it’s okay to avoid confrontation and to walk away from it if necessary, in order for you to wait for the right moment to act. Many of you will suddenly become interested in learning and practicing manifestation. Another blessing coming to you this year is that you begin to implement routines that aid your overall health and wellness. You will begin to see the benefits of developing a mediation routine or a routine that allows time for deep reflection. You might also be introduced to the practice of tai chi, qi gong or dao yin and find that as you add them to your daily routine it helps prevent illnesses and aids in your healing. You will suddenly have an interest in implementing natural remedies, nutrition and moderate exercise into your daily life. Remember, persistence is key. And as an old Chinese proverb once said, “A constant rain drop can penetrate any rock.”

Advice. Be Flexible Card. Everything happens for a reason. There are many options out there. Perfection is an illusion. You can move forward even while going against the current. Particularity will divert you from your destination.

Bharani Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Relationship Harmony Card. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year is that you will develop a meaningful and lasting relationship and it can assume any form such as; romantic, business, friends, family, acquaintance, or peers. The path may not be smooth at first, but overtime a strong bond bears fruit. If prior to reading this post you were reflecting and wondering about a specific relationship in your life, know that this card is letting you know that you must be patient and do your part in nurturing the relationship. Try to communicate more effectively. Do not keep true feelings to yourself, even if they are difficult to convey. Be honest. With time any conflicts or misunderstandings within the relationship will be resolved. This message applies especially to those who play musical instruments, especially string instruments.

Another blessing coming to you, is a reunion with an old or lost relation.

Advice. Ponder What You Want Card. Don’t view rejection or uncertainty as a negative. Timing may be out of alignment with your intention. Get a better understanding of the situation and contemplate what you truly want. This may be a chance for an optimal turn of events.

• Abundance, wealth and class is on your doorstep. They may not be revealed to you entirely yet.

• This card signifies elegance and cross-cultural relationships.

• You know exactly what you need intuitively. Be firm and stand up for yourself.

• You will be adequately provided for financially.

• The harmony of marriage and family is emphasized.

In summary the card pairs well with the Relationship Harmony Card. You must be honest with yourself and ensure your needs are met, because that will directly translate to your relationships. The more honest you are about what you want or need, the better of a relationship you will have. You must also work on being patient and learn to communicate properly. It looks like there is a strong emphasis on relationships this year for Bharani natives.

Krittika Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Sage Card. One of the major blessings coming to you this year is realizing that although you have experienced tough and challenging situations in the past, you have gained wisdom from them and can teach and inspire others. You may find that your calling is to be a life coach or motivational coach. You are called this year to learn from your life experiences and also the lives of those around you. You will come to a place where you are able to view these experiences from a newfound perspective. You may find that you suddenly have a thirst to learn and teach. You may sign up for a course, decide to go back to school and complete a degree program or to pursue teaching as a profession or perhaps you decide to tutor or mentor others. You will come to find this year that you have active and latent gifts as a teacher, healer or counselor. This message is extremely important especially for those that recently lost a loved one or a pet. Know that from the spiritual realm they are sending you their love and smile from above. No space nor time can separate you from them. Another blessing that comes to you this year, is being able to find some sense of closure from their passing. Finally both parties can move forward in peace.

Advice. Ponder What You Want Card. You received the same advice card as Bharani Sun, Moon or Rising. The specific message I get for Krittika natives is that if things are currently not going in your favor, this is only a temporary situation. It may not be the right timing for what you want or have in mind. Things will turn for the better. Refer back to and read the advice for Bharani Sun, Moon or Rising.

Rohini Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Bright Future Card. Rohini natives will have a great year in 2026. If prior years were challenging, know that this year you can celebrate a new beginning and a time to grow wiser, calmer and more confident. You have a newfound sense of hope and freedom. Starting in the spring of 2026, things will begin to look brighter. One of the major blessings coming to you this year is reconnecting with the natural world and making time to disconnect from artificial environments or artificial lighting. I see many of you investing in blue light filtering glasses or making an effort to get some natural sunlight, vitamin D and breathing in some fresh air. This is good, because you will find that doing this grounds you and dissipates any stress. Another major blessing coming to you is the dissolution of any seemingly impossible or difficult situation. You will see that it was only an illusion and it will soon disappear if it has not already. Some of you will realize that had you not experienced this loss you may have not experienced this brighter future and this next phase along your journey which will bring you to a higher purpose. Another blessing is you will feel different and you will as Gen-Z says lock in, because you have clarity now of what needs to be done and you are confident you are no longer alone. This message rings especially true for those that have lost loved ones. Know that they are still with you. Their spirits have ascended to a higher plane of existence yet their memory, touch and words live with you eternally. You can communicate with them at any time. They want you to know they are at peace and are okay. Another blessing is that you will receive messages from them. Sometimes our loved ones may send us messages through either a butterfly, ladybug, feather, rainbow, familiar song, name or even dèjà vu. Another blessing that is coming through is you will take a vacation away from any place that reminds you of your heartache. Once you return you will have fresh ideas and energy. Another blessing is that you will have an addition to your family.

Advice. Persist Card. The advice I get for Rohini natives is to not give up. They are advised to trust their own vision and intuition, to mean every word they say and to remain loyal and honest. Ultimately you will succeed. I got an image in my minds eye of that scene in the Return of the King when Sauron’s army reaches Gondor. The ring wraiths begin to descend upon the white castle. Gandalf is telling the soldiers. “Hold them back! Do not give in to fear! Stand in your posts! Fight!” I feel that this image really embodies the message of this card. The number 2 also appears on this card. In numerology the number 2 is ruled by the moon. I find it interesting, because Rohini is a moon ruled Nakshatra. There is an innate gift in Rohini to be a beautiful example of grace and power. My boyfriend is a Rohini moon and one thing I admire about him is his ability to remain diplomatic in his dealings even amongst complex and contrasting energies.

• Earth element, yin earth: Grounded and faithful.
• Although the situation seems messy and discordant, just under the surface there is harmony. Do not yield.
• Trust your gut feeling and do what’s right for everyone involved.
• Your actions or words may not be approved by others. You can explain or just keep silent. Eventually they will understand.

Mrigashira Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Longevity Card. The color green is being emphasized greatly. I would try to add this color to your wardrobe or try to incorporate more green foods to your diet this year. One of the major blessings coming to you this year is an interest or sudden desire to lead a healthier lifestyle. Doing so will be beneficial to you because you will find that you have more mental clarity and physical wellness. This change will grant you more years of life. Take care of your body and maintain balance in your professional and personal life. I am sensing that many of you are workaholics and hardly take time off. You should answer the call in your heart for a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. Taking a break is necessary to care for your overall wellness, if not, all the gains you have worked for will soon mean nothing. Break away from all addictions and procrastinations. Many will suddenly have an interest in including the practice of meditation, qi gong and tai chi into your daily routine in order to attain serenity and equilibrium. You will find that with exercise and a balanced diet, you release stress to fully enjoy your life. Another major blessing this card foretells of is a more auspicious year. There is a change of luck. Through your determination and hard work, you have earned your upswing in the cycle of luck. Another blessing is that I see some of you connecting with cosmic forces (through your own belief system) and it brings about healing to you and your loved ones.

Advice. Deception Card. Jealousy destroys all relationships. Selfishness and ego lead to hatred. Recognize those who intend harm before it happens. Protect yourself by concealing your plans. Remain low key.

• Be cautious of people who might be in a position to drain your energy and drag you down.
• Something may be disguised. Be on your guard.
• Effectively healing illnesses and correcting bad habits are the only ways to move out of this negative environment.
• Depression is very serious. Seek professional help if you or anyone around you experience it.
• Surround yourself with happy, positive people.

Ardra Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Victory Card. Many of you have gone through several highs and lows. Which is characteristic of Ardra’s stormy cleansing energy. You have pursued a goal to fruition. Your major blessing this year is that you have experienced all kinds of highs and lows, and so there is not a lot that can rattle you this year. You will also experience success in some area of your life. That is the beauty of Ardra natives, they are strong and it is their faith that helps them move forward in life. Sure, they experience different kinds of emotions and at times have a hard time processing them, but ultimately they get to a place in their lives where they remain admirably calm and resilient as they lean on their faith. Another blessing is that you are coming to know who you really are at your core and are achieving another level of spiritual maturity.

Advice. Wind Card. Be in harmony with the flow. There is no need to overburden yourself, ride the wings of the wind, especially those gusts from the Southeast. Relax and be ready for the next surge of energy. Utilize your good timing – end of spring and beginning of summer. The number 4 also appears on this card. In numerology, the number 4 is ruled by the planet Uranus and the North Node. In numerology the number 4 can symbolize sudden and unexpected moments or changes but is also known as the “builder” number because it symbolizes stability, hard work, practicality and discipline. Those with prominent 4 energy are always on a schedule, they are great planners. They become masters of something that they have worked hard toward and that something is of practical use for others.

• This card indicates the Southeast in your space.
• It also symbolizes smooth journey and fortuitous outcome ahead of you. make the best of your timing. April, May or June.
• Take a moment to enjoy a break.
• All shades of green, especially bluish green or electric blue are lucky at this time.

Punarvasu Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Balance Card. One of your major blessings coming to you this year is being able to be content with what you have. Another blessing is being able to understand the difference between what you want and desire and remaining realistic. Another blessing is realizing balance is the key to everything in life. This card reminds me of the Temperance card in the Tarot. Anything in excess can give negative results. You will come to realize this and will seek to achieve emotional health and to free yourself from situations of great stress or anxiety. You will prioritize your mental and emotional health. You are also learning that there is merit in having the courage to dream and putting in the hardworking but it is also good for us to balance this with relaxation and leisure. Walking the middle path is key this year. You may also find it beneficial to contemplate in front of trees, meditate by water, synchronize your heartbeat to the voice of birds and permit the magical powers of nature to teach you balance.

Advice. Heaven Card. The unstoppable power of heaven is here to protect you. The infinite power of heaven is here to spark you. This yang energy also symbolizes the Sun, fatherhood, and creation. Now you can break through obstacles once too difficult to conquer. Pay attention to the Northwest; end of fall, and beginning of winter. You have waited for this good timing. Act now. Connect with your roots and beliefs. Start devising a concrete plan to accomplish what you have always dreamed of. The number 6 appears on this card. In numerology, the number 6 is ruled by the planet Venus. The number 6 symbolizes family, nurturing, responsibility and harmony. It is also a creative number and it is known to nurture and protect those it loves most, while creating and providing a safe and loving environment. There is a strong emphasis on family and creative expression.

• This Gua has extreme yang energy.
• It also symbolizes the Sun, fatherhood and creation.
• It brings positive energy from the Northwest region.
• Grasp the timing from the end of fall to the beginning of winter.
• The colors white, gray, silver and gold are all lucky at this time.

Pushya Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Relationship Harmony Card. You received the same card as Bharani natives. Please refer back to and read the Major Blessing(s) Bharani Sun, Moon or Rising.

Advice. Eliminate Negative Energy Card. Beware. Some unpleasant energy may be at hand. Invoke space clearance. Server your connection to negative influences. Declutter and detox. The number 4 appears on this card. In numerology, this card is ruled by the planet Uranus and the North Node. In numerology the 4 can symbolize sudden changes and events. It can also symbolize needing to re-build our foundation. The shadow side of the number 4 is being inflexible, stubborn, resisting change, dull or avoiding emotional depth. Those with prominent 4 energy are organized and schedule their time out, they don’t like to waste their time and they are the biggest germaphobes. They also set their boundaries and expectations early on in relationships.

• Fire element, yin fire: Unpredictability and a mystical nature.
• Call on Master Zhong Kuo to do space clearance for you (or any spiritual guide of your choice).
• Engage in all categories of self-cleansing; physical, psychological and spiritual.
• Stay clear of vexatious people and any place that drains your energy.
• Seek professional help. Don’t accept the status quo.

Ashlesha Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Inspiration Card. This card is ruled by the element of water, the north direction and the winter season. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year is heightened intuitive abilities. You have probably known for sometime of your inherent or learned abilities to see and know things beyond this physical plane. Another blessing coming to you is an interest to express yourself creatively and artistically, especially through music, art and various forms of communication including book writing and public speaking. You will feel inclined to include water more in your daily life. This could be by simply choosing to drink more water and staying properly hydrated or adding a water fountain in your living room or moving to a new residence that is near a body of water. This is because bodies and souls that are overworked require water energy to heal. When water is abundant, sleep is enhanced and diet is improved. You become supple and feel younger and more confident. Balance is key. Excessive water could drown your spirit and dilute your concentration. You are encouraged with this card to place a water element at the entrance of your living space. For example, a fountain, aquarium, a bowl of water with some cut flowers, or simply some decoration in the shade of blue. You may also feel inclined to spend more time near rivers, lakes and oceans. You might suddenly find interest in massage therapy, qi gong, tai chi, yoga and meditation simply because you see the benefits and find them healing when you are feeling stressed, fatigued or depressed. Another blessing is financial prosperity is being manifested. Another blessing, is you can expect harmony in your relationships, both platonic and romantic, personal and professional. Pay attention to cultivate an important relationship because if not, it could flow like water and end quickly.

Advice. Prosperity Card. This is such a beautiful card. It is ruled by Wang Mu also known as the Queen Mother, the goddess of life and immortality in Tao beliefs. I love seeing this card because it is my signal for a grandmotherly or motherly figure looking after you from the spiritual realm. You are aligned with the power of the heavens, the strength of the earth, and the harmony of the people. Everything you have dreamed is taking shape now. Receive the generosity and abundance. Be self-effacing and gracious. The number 5 appears on this card. In numerology, the number 5 is ruled by the planet Mercury. The number 5 symbolizes freedom, change, adventure and adaptability. The number 5 gives you the energy and drive to feel free to do whatever you want. However, because this card is represented by Wang Mu (Queen Mother) you are advised to always follow your code of morals and ethics. I am hearing the following: “Just because you can, does not mean you should.” If not Wang Mu then a grandmotherly or motherly figure will make sure you do.

• Earth element, yang earth: abundance and nourishment.
• Your future is auspicious. Good fortune lies ahead.
• Be thankful, not only for what you have, but for everyone’s bounty.
• To assure that good luck takes hold, do good for others whenever you see the opportunity.
• Plant a seed either literally or metaphorically for the future.

Magha Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Protection Card. This card is ruled by Mount Tai. This is my symbol for hardship, challenges, frustration, stressful situations, being tested, trying to keep it together, but being so close to losing it. One of the major blessings coming to you this year is seeing that no matter how difficult things seem right now, you will be okay, you are being protected. You may face some stressful situations in the new year, but always remember that this is just another challenge to overcome. There is a lot of uncertainty around you this year, and that may be another factor adding to your anxiety, but you are shielded. There is hope – the most sacred ancient mountain, Mount Tai is here to support and protect you. When reading for clients, this card has appeared when people my client knows has been affected by sudden negative outcomes, but my client was one of the few that were not affected. Another blessing is your ancestry from past generations is providing good karma to help you through this lifetime. It is so interesting that Magha natives received this card, because Magha Nakshatra is deeply connected to ancestral blessings and lineage. Another blessing, since you are being backed by Mount Tai or as I see it now, your entire ancestral lineage, is that there is inevitable positive change of luck that will soon materialize. Another blessing is a sudden interest in gardening, walking, hiking in nature, or introducing earth tones into your living space, or obtaining paintings or decorations prominently displaying earth formations. This will benefit you, especially if you are lacking in the earth element because it will enhance your physical strength, reliability, stability and industriousness. You will also be more resourceful and feel more secure. If you have too much earth element it will prevent you from defining clear boundaries, resulting in clutter, pensiveness, and negligence toward oneself. You may also find that you lack focus and are easily distracted. If you find that this is the case or that you are also overworked, tired, constantly worried, or surrounded by clutter it is important that you connect with wood energy to release any excess earth energy.

Advice. Deception Card.You received the same card as Mrigashira natives. Please refer back to and read the advice given to Mrigashira Sun, Moon or Rising.

Purva Phalguni Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Compassion Card. This is such a beautiful and highly spiritual card! This card is ruled by Guan Yin. She is a bodhisattva of compassion revered in Buddhism, Taoism and Chinese folklore alike. Her name Guan means to observe, watch or monitor. Yin means sounds of those who suffer. When we put both meanings together we get “Observing the cries of the world”. She is often personified as a beautiful woman dressed in white that embodies compassion and kindness. It was said she earned her right to enlightenment after death through great love and sacrifice. While standing before Nirvana she heard a cry of anguish from Earth, she decided to come back and renounced her reward for eternal bliss and found immortality in the hearts of the suffering. This is a beautiful card to receive because it’s a similar energy to the card ruled by Wang Mu, in that they both have a protective and healing divine feminine energy. Guan Yin is akin to an elder sibling or best friend sometimes a motherly figure who is supportive of you through acts of unconditional love, compassion and kindness. One of the major blessings coming to you this year is the reassurance that you and your loved ones are safe. Everything will be okay. Another blessing, is that you may feel inspired to embody Guan Yin’s energy. You may be in a situation where you are asked to understand it through the lens of unconditional love and forgiveness. Guan Yin symbolizes serenity, sensitivity, wisdom and understanding. This card is confirmation that you need to pause and listen to your inner voice more this year. Your heart may be heavy sometime before or during the year, but your inner knowledge understands the key to softening it. Another blessing, is that you have a female spirit guide or an elder sibling or best friend that if you lean on will help you release physical, emotional and spiritual burdens. They will help you heal and provide guidance so you can ease the pain that others have caused you or you may have caused in others. Another blessing, is that you will feel inspired as I mentioned earlier to embody Guan Yin’s energy, so your extra sensory perception may increase and you may sense the agony of others quicker. You will feel inclined this year more than ever to reach out to comfort those in pain and listen to what they need. You will do this from a protective, nonjudgmental place of unconditional love. Another blessing, is as you go about comforting others and supporting them through their pain you will find your own pain finds resolution. Another blessing, is you will discover and feel more convinced that your intuition and sensitivity is adequate to achieve the work of a healer. Circling back to Guan Yin, she is a guardian of children. Legend says she grants children to hopeful parents. She is the spiritual mother of all children on earth and in heaven. She blesses your marriage, family and home. She is associated with the healing power of water. You can tap into Guan Yin’s intuition through meditation or reflection by water. Yin water, such as a pond, brook, lake, river, waterfall or even an indoor fountain is suitable.

Advice. Love Card. Another beautiful card! This card is ruled by the Mother. Unconditional love is about trust and letting go. If you refuse to relinquish control, true potential may never be realized. Allow things to happen without your influence.

• This represents a month or this particular month. It is another powerful timing card.
• This month is critical for you to manifest your aspirations.
• It also could represent mother, grandmother or full moon.
• Show your support for your family and your compassion for children and animals.
• Express and embrace feminine energy.

Uttara Phalguni Sun, Moon or Rising.

Major Blessing(s). Manifestation Card. What a powerful card! The card of Kong Ming is one of the most powerful cards in the system. This new year one of the major blessings coming is that you will realize or be reminded that you have the ability to manifest anything your heart desires, whether that be mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. Your power comes from a profound connection with the highest wisdom accompanied by unique talents and skills. Another blessing, is that your creativity will be at its peak. Use this time wisely. This is the time to bring your creations to life. The period of preparation is over and procrastination is behind you. Believe in your abilities, in your knowledge and resourcefulness and in creating magical experiences from heavenly inspirations. Another blessing, is you will realize now is the time to stop doubting yourself. You will prioritize your goals, you will create new tools to meet your needs, forge new relationships that will be bridges to new opportunities. It is interesting that Uttara Phalguni natives received this card because Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra is deeply connected with ushering in success through their connections, because the deity of this Nakshatra is Aryaman, the God of contracts, unions and patronage. Circling back to Kong Min, he was an inventor, philosopher, writer, military strategist, politician and a man who seemed to master everything he ever put his mind to. He also had the ability to foresee the future, predict world events and foretell an opponent’s every move. Another blessing, is that some of you may finally pursue one or a few of these career paths or will gain one of these skills and abilities.

Advice. Enact New Strategies. Wow! I am genuinely in a pleasant state of shock right now. This card is ruled again by Kong Ming and it advises Uttara Phalguni natives to stop employing tactics that have failed you once before. If you are not moving forward then you are moving backwards. In procrastination, you forfeit opportunities. When inspiration strikes, act decisively. The only difference with this card is the number 10 does appear on it as well as the Rooster. The Rooster symbolizes communication. Roosters are also happy, carefree, gregarious, social and accomplished. They love the spot light and whether they are public speaking, singing, writing or even storytelling, they crave visibility. They know they are beautiful. They make sure to perfect their talents and skills. They are loved and respected by those that know them well. They have a vivid imagination, strong communication skills and marketing skills. Their words are inspirational and powerful. They are industrious, organized and business savvy. The number 10 in numerology symbolizes the end of cycle and the emergence of a new beginning. The number 10 when simplified equals to 1. It is interesting to note that 2026 collectively is a year 1. The number 1 in numerology is ruled by the Sun. The number 1 is about taking action, having the confidence/courage, determination and drive to lead or to create. Interesting to note that Uttara Phalguni is also ruled by the Sun. In fact, because we are in a year 1 collectively, this year may fair well for all Solar Nakshatras natives. (Krittika, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha). They will finally receive the recognition and respect that has been long over due.

• Metal element, yin metal: Resourcefulness and order.
• Now is a critical time for strategizing and planning. Keep your emotions in check.
• You have a knack for devising the best possible strategy for any given problem, but don’t be overly confident.
• Communication and expression are powerful assets.
• See things as they truly are.

Hasta Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Abundance Card. This a beautiful card, because it is ruled by Wang Mu, the Queen Mother. Ashlesha natives received a card ruled by Wang Mu but in the advice position. This card is letting you know that one of the major blessings coming to you this year is you will be nurtured, protected and guided by Wang Mu, or someone that embodies her energy in the spiritual or earthly realm; such as a mother or grandmother. The Queen Mother is known for her unconditional love and caring for mankind but her energy differs from Guan Yin as she wields her authority like a strict mother or guardian to bring stability to the world. She is blunt and unyielding. Another blessing, is that you are assured of abundant success. Wang Mu or a spiritual or earthly guide will awaken or encourage you to tune in to your intuition and will encourage your true potential to reveal itself allowing your calling for a higher purpose to become clear to you. The inner voice you have been hearing is their gentle push for you to move on and realize your dreams. Another blessing is that, Wang Mu or a spiritual or earthly guide will assist in manifesting your wishes and guiding you to do whatever your heart wants to do. They will assure you that all will be well. If you had a specific question in mind before reading this, the answer is “yes”. Another blessing is, that no matter what situation you are facing, you will get there, nothing can stop you. Wang Mu or your spiritual or earthly guide will remove any obstacles and negative energies for you to achieve. This card is different from the Kong Ming card, as Kong Ming is manifestation itself and had you received this card, your blessing is that he or someone embodying his energy would manifest for you. On the other hand, the card of Wang Mu is saying she or someone embodying her energy will push you and make sure you can be successful. You will do your own share, and they will do theirs to make things happen and to bring your efforts to fruition. I must warn you that Wang Mu can be ruthless. She does not have patience for laziness, procrastination and excuses. Under this energy you will be called to tuck your emotions away, get things done and be realistic. As Gen-Z says, “you have to lock in.” Another major blessing, is a strong urge to live a healthy lifestyle, especially if you are a mother or guardian in your own life and other lives depend on you. Another blessing, is you will find that the more you give without seeking anything in return, the more you receive. Another blessing, is with Wang Mu ruling this card you will be given strength, marriage and children will be protected and any unfairness does not fly by her. Another blessing, is you will find time to nurture yourself and you may feel inclined to bring elements of nature close to you. Such as oceans, forests, mountains, wide open fields, rocks and minerals. I see many of you studying crystals and using them for energy work.

Advice. Move On Card. This card is ruled by Wei Hua Cun. One could describe Wei Hua Cun as a mystic who thirsted for higher knowledge and truth. She is the founder of Shangqing Taoism, a branch of Taoism. Shangqing was more mystical than physical. Focusing more on developing a spiritual energy when connected to the deities rather than using alchemy or herbs to cultivate the body. This card is advising you to strive for a bigger purpose. Do not see the lotus bud, see instead the lotus blossom. Don’t focus on the moment, for it is temporary. The future is better than today, even when not in view.

• Metal element, yin metal: Determination and vision.
• Your current situation may have stressed you, but it is really not worth the time. Let go and let things be.
• Reflection on your future at this juncture is your best path right now.
• If you are asking about some situation or person or activity, they may not be of that much importance at this time.
• By moving on, you will gain a fresh perspective.

Chitra Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). The Way Card. This card is ruled by Lao Zi. To encounter this card bodes well. Lao Zi translates to old man. He lived during the 6th century B.C. and is credited with writing the seminal Taoist work, the Tao Te Ching. He can represent your earth Father, either deceased or living. This card is a message of guidance, love or karma for him. One major blessing coming to you this year, is your release of control and realizing that all that matters is the present moment. If we find ourselves in a “poor” position, we know that in time our position will change to “well”, and vice versa, because that is the nature of life. The saying “this too shall pass” will be highly relevant this year. Another blessing, is that you are releasing old, obsolete behaviors and patterns. You will change your lifestyle, visit old friends, prioritize your schedule, finish a passion project, and stop procrastinating. Another blessing, is you will know when the right time to act and make your move and when it is best to pause and wait. You will have a much more calmer and wiser perspective on life. You will be a chill guy/girl by the end of 2026.

Advice. Think Twice Card. This card is ruled by Guan Yu who was a general in the Three Kingdom era of China. He was known for his loyalty , courage and martial prowess and was deified as the God of War in China. His demise came from not heeding the advice of others and rejecting the repeated pleas of his advisors to stop waging war. His downfall came in the battle of Fancheng. The number 7 appears on the card. In numerology, the number 7 is ruled by the planet Neptune or the South Node. It is associated with those who uncover deeper meaning through introspection and study. Those with strong 7 energy can be insightful, analytical, and enjoy solitude, but can also be secretive, skeptical, or aloof. When things seem so obvious, there may be more to it than the surface appearance. Don’t underestimate the situation. Think twice and explore more deeply before taking action. You may have to approach it differently.

Advice. Refuse To Be Used Card. This card is ruled by Chen Yuan Yuan. She was a courtesan and concubine to General Wu Sangui at the end of the Ming Dynasty. She later fled to a monastery and became a nun. The number 12 appears on this card. In numerology, it is about realizing that you are self-sufficient and you have dreams and visions of your own and it encourages you to pursue them while staying grounded and keeping the lines of communication open. Pull away from your fears and refuse to be a victim. You will never be happy if you don’t end the toxic arrangements that imprison you. Love yourself. You deserve better.

• Something hasn’t been bringing you peace of mind. You are advised to walk away.
• If you don’t make a change, you will slip further away from your happiness.

Vishakha Sun, Moon or Rising.

Major Blessing(s). Lovers & Partnership Card. This card is ruled by Xi Shi. She was considered the most beautiful of the four beauties of ancient China. She sacrificed herself at Fan Li’s request by seducing the enemy, King of Wu. He fell in love with her so deeply he did anything at her suggestion. Eventually the Kingdom of Wu fell. Subsequently Fan Li and Xi Shi fled together never to be seen again. This card talks about your major blessing this year is being in an atmosphere of love. Passion will shape you reality. You can sense your lover is coming and he will. First you must leave the old dysfunctional relationship behind to make way for the new! Another blessing, is you learn to love yourself more deeply and recognize that by doing so you can love others more deeply too. Another blessing, circling back to the lover you sense coming in this new year, you realize that it is important to discern if any connection you are engaging in is true love and if it’s hiding behind affection, infatuation, passion or lust. Another blessing, is you realize that any relationships that did not work out and failed, does not mean that you failed. This had to be the outcome in order for you to grow and mature. Another blessing, is you will have successful social networking experiences and good relationships among friends, peers and family members. If before this reading you were seeking a business partnership this is a confirmation that you will find a trustworthy and long term bond.

Anuradha Sun, Moon or Rising.

Major Blessing(s). Moon Card. This card is ruled by Chang Er. She was a beautiful palace maid. She married a young hero named Hou Yi, who shot down with his bow and arrow the nine suns that scorched the Earth. One day an old man gave Hou Yi an elixir that would make him immortal, he decided not to take it, because he was unsure whether he could leave Chang Er, his wife behind. Instead he left the elixir under his pillow. Chang Er, loved her life with Hou Yi so much that without hesitation drank the elixir and instantly levitated. She tried to hold onto something, but the only thing she managed to grab was her pet rabbit. She rose to the moon and has been there ever since. There is a rabbit depicted in this card. Interesting since the yoni animal of Anuradha is the female hare. I believe what this card is recommending Anuradha natives is to be very mindful of the decisions they make. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year, is heightened intuition and it bodes well to embrace it. Another blessing, is passion, happiness and sexuality will be prominent in your life. Another blessing, is that you will have vivid dreams and it is through your dreams, meditations and psychic insights that you should reflect internally to work with any hidden emotions. In my experience I have seen this card come out when someone was elevated to a prominent position or promoted. For example, I remember doing a reading on Charles George and this card came forward before he was crowned King Charles III of England. Another blessing, would be that you receive a promotion or are elevated to a position of authority.

Advice. Be Patient Card. You are not patient enough. Patience is not about doing nothing. Patience is knowing profoundly that nothing can be done to change the situation in the present moment. Wait and the inevitable will materialize.

• It may represent law and law enforcement or anything involving authority.
• Obey the law and respect the rules.
• You have great responsibilities and power, but don’t abuse them.
• People respect you for the many years of your hard work.
• Relationship stagnation will be cleared. It’s wise to show your kindness and understanding.

Jyeshtha Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Surrender Card. This card is ruled by Xiang Yu. This is a challenging card to receive. It is one of catastrophe and revelation, destruction and release, and ultimately of surrender. Xiang Yu was a conqueror during a period of turmoil in China. His downfall came at the age of 30 when he kept his part of a peace agreement while his enemies reneged on theirs. He found himself cornered by his enemies. His troops came from the Kingdom of Chu and they were tired and weary after years of war. Xiang Yu took his own life in the face of defeat, his death would guarantee the survival of the 28 men left at his side. The enemy would not pursue them if he were dead. The card is suggesting you surrender, there is no point in fighting a battle you will never win. A major blessing that is coming to you this year, is that you will be able to redirect your energy toward recovery and a better tomorrow. Another blessing, is that you will have a moment of freedom and awakening. Because you will realize you had to surrender and the only way forward is up, you are free to start again elsewhere.

Advice. Change Your Lifestyle Card. Ruled by Li Shi Zhen and the number 3. Nurture your body through communion with nature and strengthen your spirit with laughter. Engage in mindful exercises like Tai Chi, Qigong. Address discomfort before it is too late. Modify your diet. I sense some of you may have issues with your gallbladder or potential gallstones. Some of you may also fall ill with a cold or flu sometime in the year or suffer from an infection. This card serves as a word of caution and provides tips to prevent this as much as possible.

• Wood element, yang wood: Vitality and pride.
• This may be an alert for you to pay attention to your health.
• Be guided to engage herbal or alternative techniques to prevent illness.
• Exercise is called for, any kind of exercise with which you have an affinity.
• Pay close attention to your nutrition and digestion.

Moola Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s).Strength Card. This card is ruled by Nu Wa. She is known as a goddess of Chinese mythology for repairing the Wall of Heaven. The collapse of the Wall of Heaven meant absolute catastrophe to the world. One of the major blessings coming to you this year, is strength and especially emotional strength of reaching inside and finding the grit and the wisdom to accomplish the impossible. However, you will realize nothing is impossible because I’m-possible. The card is reassuring you that gentle force is still a powerful force. Patience, grace and calmness will allow you to succeed where brute force cannot. Being underestimated by your opponents will provide you with a decided advantage.

Advice. Balance Karma Card. There is a reason for everything. Each life has many connections to previous lives. You came to balance karma with others. Allow grief, anger, and guilt to be transformed into a force to fortify you and assist you in fulfilling your purpose of this lifetime.

• This represents a particular moment in time, another compelling timing card.

Purva Ashadha Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Inner Wisdom Card. Ruled by Shen Nong and Wood Element. Shen Nong was considered to be the founder of Chinese medicine and his name literally meant “Divine Farmer”. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year is you are gaining an optimistic outlook on life. You have come to realize over the last year that life is too short and what better way to spend it than to enjoy every second to the best of your abilities. This year you will take the opportunity to relax more, have more fun and to do things you love. Some of you will go visit those you have not seen for a while and visit places you have been wanting to visit for a long time. Another blessing, I see some of you suddenly become interested in plants and using them for medicinal purposes. A lot of you will be drinking more tea, I see many of you becoming tea connoisseurs.

Uttara Ashadha Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Trick Card. This card is ruled by the Monkey. This is my symbol for someone or something not fully revealing itself to you. This is a blessing in disguise. Interesting that Uttara Ashadha natives received this card, because if there is one thing they don’t like it’s inauthenticity. If anything feels inauthentic or disingenuous, it raises a red flag in them. I feel that the card is saying one of the major blessings coming to you this year, is your ability to see through anything, whether it be a situation or person that appears and feels inauthentic and disingenuous. Another blessing is, anything that you pursue that keeps rejecting you, is a blessing in disguise. It’s as the saying goes “Rejection is protection.” Circling back to the Monkey, they are also known to be inquisitive, industrious and insightful and always looking for opportunities to learn. They have high self esteem and confidence in their abilities. They are brilliant and socially advanced. They are also quick-witted, creative and daring thinkers. They have charm and charisma, and both intelligence and ingenuity in resolving difficult problems. They are persuasive and able to attract many friends with their magnetic personality and natural skills in diplomacy. However, the card is suggesting you to be more open to the advice of others, don’t just hear, listen. Don’t just look, see. Don’t just sense, feel. You are taking a risk if you insist on proceeding. Observe the situation closely. With more detailed information you will see through any deception. Wait, because assistance from within your network is forthcoming. Trust those who trust you. If prior to this reading, you were wondering whether to move forward with something, the card is saying: understand their is a risk in moving forward. Material accumulation is a double edge sword. Setting a limit and knowing when to stop can save you. There is an endless supply around you. Enjoy what you have, but don’t hoard. Another blessing, is your luck will soon shift. If things drastically change throughout the year make sure to always have a contingency plan in place, ready to be implemented. Another blessing, is you can only prepare so much for the future, sometimes we have to learn tough lessons, but regardless of this your outcome is rewarding. You will win in the end. You always do. I love that the card says this, because Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra literally means, “Latter Victory”. Uttara Ashadha natives don’t usually win in the first part of their lives, they win later in life after significant effort and endurance, they are typically late bloomers.

Advice. Thunder Card. The spring thunder awakens the land. Auspicious energy and transformational energy from the East brings vigorous growth to all you have planted in life. Cast off the energy that no longer serves you, and create new strategies. Welcome new relationships and possibilities. Finalize your ideas, get moving. There is no time to waste. Things are in positive motion. The number 3 appears on this card. In numerology, the number 3 is ruled by the planet Jupiter. In numerology, the number 3 is about communication, creativity and self expression. It is interesting that the number 3 appears, because it kind of mirrors the energy of the Monkey. Overall this card seems to be giving the following advice: use your discernment, really observe and analyze the situation deeply tuning in to your six senses and then when you have and even heard the advice of others move forward. This is the year to get things started.

• This Gua indicates the East in your space.
• It also symbolizes action and implementation.
• Make the best of your timing, February, March and April, and even the beginning of May.
• Time to finalize your ideas and plans.
• All shades of green, especially vibrant green, are lucky at this time.

Shravana Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Release Card. Ruled by Yue Fei and Metal Element. Yue Fei was a national hero who displayed a lot of metal characteristics. He was noble, straightforward and honest, but also stubborn. He was a loyal general that believed he could do no wrong. His downfall was his inflexibility and overly trusting nature. He was unwilling to suspect that politicians could twist his situation to his disfavor. He was inflexible in accepting the cruel realities of the world and this eventually led to his downfall. Metal symbolizes honor and courage. Its energy is fearless. Its energy is straightforward, clean and unyielding. It represents enhanced mental acuity and strength as well as solid budgeting and organization skills. I am hearing that some of you may work in the Accounting, Finance, Human Resources fields. I am also feeling some of you may work in Law Enforcement or Security. Some of you may also be history or art lovers. It represents independence, focus and a strong will to accomplish things. One of the major blessings coming to you this year, is that you will be a lot more decisive. You will believe and trust yourself a lot more. You won’t be needing the validation or approval from others. Another blessing, is you will have the strength to cut old ties that bind you to negative influences, unhealthy lifestyles or toxic relationships. If you find that you have a hard time adapting to changes that come into your life this year, you can reduce your metal element by surrounding yourself with nature, especially wood elements. On the other hand, if you find that you are procrastinating or indecisive you may have too little metal energy. You may also notice that you become stingy or lack confidence and become greedy then you have too little metal. If this is the case you can increase metal energy in your life by utilizing the energy of autumn or the western direction. Bring the colors white, gray, gold or silver to your living quarters.

Advice. Fresh Start Card. Ruled by Lu Dong Bin and the number 6. Lu Dong Bin was a famous Taoist, who wore a blue robe and was known to carry powerful herbal concoctions in his gourd capable of curing the diseases of mankind. He learned through a powerful dream that instead of fighting destiny he would live his life and make his own destiny. The number 6 in numerology is the caretaker archetype. It is ruled by the planet Venus. In Vedic astrology, Shukracharya is connected heavily to Venus and it is interesting that this number appears on this card, because Shukracharya had a mantra powerful enough to revive the dead. Those with a strong 6 energy care so much for others, but sometimes they forget about their own needs. They also learn the important lesson that they can’t give from an empty cup. The more they nurture and balance their own energy, the more powerful they become. Don’t dwell on the past. Dare to make the bold change. There will be sacrifices and roadblocks but you are protected. It is an imminent move. What is stale and depressed will be revitalized with this new energy. You are shown the way.

• Earth element, yin earth: Flexibility and durability.
• A new beginning is being offered to you.
• Take action and you can make a significant change.
• There will be notable challenges to exercise your determination.
• You are guided on this journey of discovery. The odds of success are in your favor.

Dhanishta Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Communication Card. Ruled by the Rooster. This is a wonderful card to receive. If you want to know more about the characteristics of the Rooster please read Uttara Phalguni Sun, Moon or Rising’s advice. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year is you will be the center of attention. I immediately get an image of Meghan Thee Stallion in my minds eye. Which makes sense because she is a Dhanishta Sun. In my image of her, I see her at a club having a good time and dancing. She is wearing a light green tight fitted dress. I see a lot of you out in the social scene, attending parties or even hitting the club. As Meghan so famously says, Real hot girl shit! This is also my symbol for turning a skill into a career. Some of you have skills that you can turn into a full time job and many of you will feel inclined to do so this new year. If you do I see that many of you will finally live a more fulfilled life and have a better work/life balance.

Shatabhisha Sun, Moon or Rising.

Major Blessing(s). Space Clearance Card. Ruled by Zhong Kuo and Fire Element. One of the major blessings coming to you this year is that you will finally clear out important areas of your life. From cleaning, reorganizing or even renovating your home, workspace or even your car. You have come to the realization that these spaces need to be cleared out because they directly influence for good or ill other areas of your life. Some of you will be donating, selling or throwing away things you no longer need or use. You know that by keeping these areas unorganized, cluttered or dirty it will manifest by making you feel a lack of energy, anger, depression, anxiety, jealousy, excessive grief, fatigue or have unpredictable mood swings. You know this can be the root cause for various health conditions. I am also sensing some of you need a spiritual cleanse as well. Many may choose to see a Reiki practitioner or if you come from a Latin upbringing for example, you will ask your mom, tias or abuela to perform an egg cleanse on you. Another set of signs that you need space clearance is if you notice you are having more nightmares, sudden unexplained health issues, and out of control behaviors without causes. You may also begin your space clearance with small mindful changes like simply taking the time to be in an open space to clear your mind, spending time detoxing in a natural setting close to water, a forest or a mountain. Using breath work to rid yourself of bad chi fostered in your system. Another blessing, some of you are ready to make the necessary changes to cure your diseased bodies by having more nutritious meals, drinking more water,, implementing more exercise and sleep in your daily lives. Some you will find interest in tai chi or qi gong or other types of exercise like pilates, yoga, HIIT, etc.

Revati Sun, Moon or Rising

Major Blessing(s). Confidence Card. This card is ruled by the Tiger. This is a fortunate card; it is a card of authority and dignity. One of the major blessings coming to you this new year is the gift of clairvoyance and clairsentience. If you already have these abilities, I sense they will heighten. Especially as Neptune transits the sign of Pisces. These abilities will help you accurately assess any situation that you may be involved in and make the right decisions along the way. The situation is under control. You will be able to move forward slowly and steadily. Another blessing, is a hunger for knowledge which will take you on a journey, whether that’s physical, spiritual or mental. Another blessing, you will realize if you haven’t already that you are a natural leader and often a source of inspiration for others. You will also realize you are an original and unconventional thinker. You are brimming with ideas and will generate tremendous energy and enthusiasm. Another blessing, when it comes to passion and romance, you will attract many (as I type this my left ear is ringing) but don’t be too impulsive in making a decision you may later regret. Another blessing, you realize that you can sometimes let others manipulate you and you work on further bolstering your confidence and self esteem. Although you seem rough on the outside, you have the heart of the Goddess of Compassion, Guan Yin. You may come to find the courage in your heart to end a dysfunction relationship. Another blessing, you will work on no longer criticizing yourself when you go through your emotional waves/mood swings. You recognize that you are quite sensitive to feelings and are easily drawn into the subconscious world of emotions, especially past-life memories. If you notice that you are too emotional, it could be a sign that you have too much wood energy. You can decrease excessive wood energy by acquiring some water element. For example, soaking in a salt bath, adding metal element, such as engaging in repair work around the housing using metal tools. Another blessing, you get better at hydrating yourself by drinking pure water. You may spend time near bodies of water like lakes, brooks, and ocean. Another blessing, you will feel inclined to follow a balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep because you begin to understand how these are crucial to settling your emotions.

Advice. Control Your Emotions Card. I mean the oracle card reading for Revati natives couldn’t be more clear. This card is ruled by Zhang Wei, he was a powerful warrior, a military commander who served under the Kingdom of Shu during the three kingdoms era of China. He struck fear in the hearts of his enemies and was known to have a foul temper. He would often beat his men when he was drunk. His downfall came when he whipped two of his trusted men without a fair cause. The men retaliated by assassinating him in his sleep. This card advises you to keep yourself grounded and always do a wellness check on your emotional body on a daily basis. No matter what greatness you have achieved and how much you are loved, rage can reverse all this in the blink of an eye. Take a deep breath and remain calm. The real strategy will reveal itself when anger subsides.

• A good friend or sibling will support and help you.
• Cater to your interests and talents in books, music and sports, or your newly discovered hobby.
• Get some fresh air and drink plenty of water. De-stress.
• You are compassionate and righteous, but your emotions and feelings can overwhelm others.
• Be closer to your friends and family.
