2025: reality & the future beckon

Welcome to 2025 – what a phrase and what a year it will be. Many of us are not enamoured with what 2025 might bring. That’s understandable.

In the US, a former president who would have been found guilty of charges relating to the January 6th, 2021 insurrection attempt at the Capitol – according to the Special Counsel and his team investigating the charges – will be inaugurated as the 47th US President.

Many of us are unwilling to bend the knee given the past. In fact, this President would have been found to be ineligible for presidential office under Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment, had it not been for the Republican majority Supreme Court’s intervention giving the incoming 47th not just one but many lifelines. As it is, the soon to be 47th president enters office as a convicted felon having failed to stop a jury of his peers convicting him on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a payment to an adult film star on the eve of the 2016 election. He is the first president in the US history to enter the White House as a convicted felon. Many are dubbing him F47 (felon 47) as a result.

His election throws up the possibilities (with some already occurring) of media censoring and suppression, vindictive retribution (is there any other kind), financial corruption – he was found to have syphoned off $7million during his last time in Office – mass deportation and loss of due process for asylum seekers, welfare cuts and general lawless and rule breaking behaviour. Little wonder some, if not a majority, of Americans find looking forward to 2025 distasteful.

Across the rest of the world some of our major western nations will face elections in a climate of rabid political interference and collusion by US tech and social media giants. We too (I am Australian) must fight back against the erosion of our democratic rights and corruption of our free election processes.

In the Middle East a fragile peace deal has been done. I celebrate that going into 2025 but I wonder how long it will be until Israel’s rogue, extremist leader Netanyahu breaks the deal in favour of totally consuming Gaza once hostages are returned. Another tragic war is being fought in Ukraine, a country that must now face a hostile US President who has few real allies and even fewer friends other than, it appears, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Astrologically, the sky is ominous though hopeful I would wager. Major movement of the outer planets promises that what we think may occur in 2025 may be the opposite of what actually transpires. We may find our power yet when we think we have none. Expansive and benefic Jupiter moves from Gemini into the cardinal sign of Cancer in June – it’s going to be all about our feelings and nothing motivates more than emotion. I don’t underestimate the anger and pushback against incoming 47 in 2025, including from allies. Take for example the anger emanating from the usually mild mannered Canadians who railed against the incoming president when he said their sovereign and much loved nation should be the US’s 51st State.

Neptune and Saturn currently in Pisces will move into cardinal sign Aries (direct action) in March and May of 2025 respectively. Time for a much needed reality check and concrete steps to course correct and find new ways forward. Any new plans will need hard work to pull them off.

As I write, the lunar nodes have moved into Pisces and Virgo – again showing us in great detail what we need to see but also giving us an opportunity to create a different future without the smog of illusion.

All in all, it’s going to be a bumpy ride in 2025 however it will not be without its opportunities for change too. In the US, voters should remember it is just over 21 months until the midterm elections will be held. If incoming 47’s power will be curbed it will be then. For nervous allies like my own country, Australia, it’s time to remember our sovereignty and independence. If lessons can be learned from the US it is how oligarchy and corruption go hand in hand and how, if not checked, will corrupt the very system that holds it to account – the majority then loses its power to those with money, power and influence who seek undemocratic rule…a kleptocracy.

Taking a breath & cruisin…

As many of my kind viewers know, I spent Christmas and New Year grappling with a severe asthma flare. I am pleased to say that thanks to persistent investigation…medical and intuitive, and the wonderful prayers of my viewers, my breathing issues have improved and I now have more asthma free days than not.

I consider myself very lucky and blessed to have found a way through illness and, as with most challenges, I’ve become wiser in hindsight. I know that my asthma and allergies were not adequately controlled and we’ve made changes that probably should have been made a few years ago. However it is often difficult to see the woods for the trees, especially when the right treatment is elusive. Thanks to my regular doctor who returned from leave, who was prepared to ask and, importantly, listen, we trialled new medication and switched the timing of my allergy medication around. Both steps, some 30 days later, have meant I am feeling more like my old self.

Before Christmas, and in the middle of an asthma flare, I went cruising to Tasmania on the Queen Elizabeth II. It was meant to be a restful break and a treat which had been planned mid year. Looking back on it, even though I was on a fair whack of prednisone, the cruise was exactly what was needed. The sea air meant my allergies calmed and the gentle motion of the big ocean liner, soothed me into deep sleep. At one point, I slept for 24 hours, only stirring for room service meals. When I awoke, I felt renewed…rest and sea air…and I was ready to get on with my cruise.

Cruising in style onboard the Queen Elizabeth II just before Christmas.

One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to the Royal Tasmania Botanical Gardens. What a treasure of a place. As soon as we disembarked in Hobart enroute to the gardens, I knew we were in crystal clean air and, mostly, untouched land. For those who don’t know Tasmania it is a small state of Australia off our mainland. It is known for its stunning wilderness, its pristine environment and its laid back cities, towns and villages. Its largest city is Hobart with a population of around 247,000. Forty four percent of Tasmanians live in this city, with the state’s population is 572,800 as of June 2023.

You get the picture. I could not have gone to a better place to rest and recuperate…away from regional NSW’s wind and electrical storms which stirred dust and pollen almost daily to exacerbate my allergic asthma. But back to the gardens…

As soon as I stepped inside this magical place, I felt the healing balm of nature. Everywhere I looked, I saw green. It’s difficult to explain the sense of living heritage within the walls of the gardens and so I will let you look for yourself:

Royal Tasmania Botanical Gardens

Although steep in places, the gardens left me wanting more of Tasmania’s pristine, ancient habitats and nature. When I returned to the ship, and we headed back to Sydney, I realised there was so much of Australia and New Zealand I hadn’t yet seen.

As my health began to return, so did my wanderlust. As someone with a stellium in Sagittarius (multiple planets), it was time to dust off my walking boots and perhaps my sea legs also. Life waits for no one and exploring new places always stirs my soul.

Joy and spiritual evolution

I had intended on posting a New Year’s message, a bright chit chat post about intentions, hope and self responsibility…however I held off due to a pneumonia-like illness I developed between Christmas and the new year which kept me struggling physically and mentally until the last few days.

I am a lifelong asthmatic and the last 6 months have been rough as my preventative inhaler of 30 years stopped working. I’ve been on and off antibiotics and prednisone since last July, and a raft of different inhalers which all made the situation worse. I had given up on easy solutions and was waiting for a referral to the respiratory specialist. For those who don’t know my history, harsh cancer treatment in 2015…is there any other sort…worsened my auto immune issues. This has meant a necessary and dogged focus on my health and boosting my immunity since then.

I digress. Back to the inhaler problem. When I’m presented with a health challenge I rarely give up. I research and use my intuition to solve the issue. Sometimes I am successful. After seemingly being without options, I flagged one last dual inhaler they said would not work, so why try it? I persisted and got the script, albeit from a reluctant and cynical GP. It turned out to be the right move. This particular inhaler worked and was the least draconian intervention. I had known that it would. I guess the message is: it’s your body and your health. Use your voice, inquire and ask questions and make your views known. Doctors are not God-like. They are human beings with all our flaws and strengths, and expertise. They are also overworked and the medical system often, imperfect.

It pays to be your own health advocate.

Along with health issues, I have been contemplating the meaning of joy – not some fantastical, whimsical and passing ‘happy feeling’…rather I’ve been thinking about deep and abiding joy. Often after tough times (and let’s face it a lot do struggle around Christmas and New Year), we contemplate our circumstances with honesty and I have found myself realising that it has been ‘a minute’ since I was last ‘joyful’. Whether it’s the state of our troubled world, or personal circumstances, I remember now, that feeling of deep joy that goes with spiritual contentment and I know that is not how I currently feel. Rather than external events and people providing passing happy times, the deep joy of contentment is unwavering, consistent and not easily won.

This deep feeling of joy, takes real inner focus and meeting your own needs. It also takes self value and reflection. To reconnect with the deep joy which reaches all the way into your spirit, firstly takes awareness and acknowledgment of its absence.

I can hear you asking: well how do you get it back? You understand that you’ve only ever needed ‘you’. So start by getting back in touch with the essence of who ‘you’ are, and when you find that, value and nurture ‘you’. Leave the rest to Spirit. Once the process has begun, the right people and events will meet you.

Take that step. Deep joy and meaning await you on your journey.

Sunsets & memories

I was born in the flurry of an emergency. My mother who had pre-eclampsia when carrying me, was given Pethadine for the pain of childbirth. It just so happened that she was allergic to that…and so my birth became dramatic. My mum’s memories were hazy, but she did tell me it was very late in the afternoon that I was born. Later on, an astrologer friend did a birth time rectification on my natal chart and established I was born at 6.50pm. Our birthdate and place gives us which planets are in what signs of the zodiac, but a birth time gives us our Ascendant and places those planets in their signs in the zodiac’s Houses. This additional information tells us about the major themes (Houses) we are likely to encounter in our lives, and our Ascendant tells us how we present to the world.

Around 6pm in the summer months…I was born in December in the Australia…the sun is low in the sky. I have always been drawn to sunsets, perhaps because that is when I came into this world. Sunsets mark the end of a day. Metaphorically, they are about cycles drawing to a close.

I always find peace in a sunset. A stillness as activity winds down. I use this time to ride my ebike and I enjoy the gentle rays of the sun and the quietness in nature. As I was riding, literally into the sunset, the other day, I came across a ‘murder’ of crows. About 20-30 of them perched on the huge light pole of the oval I was riding around. All was quiet and I realised they were watching the sunset…and me…from their lofty perch. As I headed for home, they suddenly took flight and flew with me to a nearby tree. The crow is my spiritual totem. I paid my respects to them, and rode home as night fell.

Whether it is riding a bike, or taking a walk, the opportunity to become one with your natural surroundings deepens reflection and allows you to be in the ‘flow’ of the experience. You will never find this consuming media in your lounge room just before a sunset.

Sunsets are a gift.

Channeling occultist Aleister Crowley

As a clairvoyant and medium, I have channeled many people on my Youtube channel, Revealing Light Tarot, Astrology and Spirituality. They have been people who have achieved great things in their lifetimes and have struggled, as we do…the channelings more powerful for their humanity, their contribution and their flaws.

It was with some apprehension that I channeled a request, not something I usually do, for occultist Aleister Crowley. Like everyone else, I had bought into the hype surrounding his name…and to be fair, Crowley himself encouraged this. I’m not sure what made me persevere and do the channeling…call it curiosity and something more…a vague suspicion there was more to Crowley than met the eye, beyond the hysteria and fear he seemed to engender.

I did the barest research before the channeling. Date of birth and death, a brief description of his life…his parents and the tarot deck which he co-created with Lady Freida Harris – the Thoth Tarot.

I went into the reading without too much awareness; and I emerged after my channeling with a new understanding of his intellect and contribution to spiritualism. I’ll let the channeling speak for itself.

Happy Halloween and Sahmein readers. There are mysteries and magic that remain hidden in the darkness of ignorance, just waiting for some light.

Channeling Nostradamus

I’m not entirely sure when the energetic vibration of Nostradamus presented itself but it did, including with the significance of rose petals which I later found out were quite important in the healing work of Nostradamus.

Most of us know this seer for his blindingly accurate predictions. Less is known about his healing work with plague victims. I found this channeling quite special because I learnt about Nostradamus the human being. He revealed a man with a deep love of family and of helping the poor who received little medical help throughout the epidemics of plague. Yet Nostradamus healed many through simple and effective hygienic regimes, and a commitment to help.

Prior to the channeling I did not know how Nostradamus saw the visions which formed the basis of his predictions but I saw a method later confirmed with my research post channeling. I’ll leave the video to speak for itself; and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did…learning about the compassionate and humanistic person that was Nostradamus. These same strengths allowed him to predict accurately, and perhaps to help humanity into the future.

 

Light orbs illuminate spirit connection

During my spiritual journey which began as a young girl understanding that I needed first to know myself before I could begin to know others, I have researched many esoteric concepts and beliefs. The one constant throughout the gathering of knowledge has been the real possibility of developing a deep connection to Spirit. Some of you know my back story; that in 2015 a very serious illness and prolonged rehabilitation further illuminated my spirituality. So many signs and guides were put in my path that it became impossible for me to continue to live the same life in the same way.

A dream one night which took me to what I thought of as the Afterlife and picking up my tarot again not long after, brought a rush of validation that my pathway was no longer my ‘orthodox’ and mainstream career, but lay instead in reconnecting with my clairvoyance and using my intuition in the everyday world. This profound realization has taken me back to myself and to abilities I had used in childhood but never fully understood, and so had they’d been relegated to the recesses to gather dust. I began Revealing Light Tarot in 2018 and have been pushed, no rushed forward, towards using as much of my psychic abilities as I currently know how to do. I say ‘currently’ because I believe we do not stop learning…ever.

Despite a wholehearted embrace of my spirituality and reconciliation with who I am and my purpose in this life, a lifetime’s analytical and sometimes skeptical thinking remains. In all my travels in this life up until last year – professional career person by day; esoteric explorer by night – I have never been able to fully accept that angels have the names we humans give them, that the most powerful and uttered of the ‘archangels’ appear to be male, and that those like the former angelic author and guru Doreen Virtue (who’s now rejected her early pioneering work for a brand of fire and brimstone Christianity), can channel ‘messages from the angels’. It all seemed a little…kitsch to be totally honest. However…

Around a fortnight ago I was doing a ‘reading’ upstairs in my bedroom for my Patreon viewers. I had decided to throw my tarot cards on the subject of whether or not angels exist. Immediately, as soon as I sat down, I was aware of rapid energy bursts around me in the room. Before I pressed the record button, I felt the light orbs behind me. This wasn’t the first time they’d appeared while I was reading in a video, but it was the first time they came en masse and coinciding with particular phrases. The phrase that seemed to resonate with particular orbs was the name of ‘Metatron’.

I won’t give away too much more of what occurred in this video. I’ll let you watch it for yourself. When you’re viewing, watch for light orbs at: 2:43, 16:25, 17:21 and 18:53. Let me know what you think.

Namaste

What’s beyond this physical life?

Most of us can go through life not giving much thought to our mortality. We’re obsessed with the obvious; our career, our relationships, our finances and sometimes the petty squabbles that we allow to bleed through and disrupt our equilibrium. What comes next after this life is something we leave til the last minute. And who can blame us? We like to think we’re immortal, that we will go on forever and so when illness or the unexpected comes along, we are floored.

Yet death is inevitable.

There is a Latin funerary inscription I came across recently while visiting a touring exhibition on the Roman Empire, at the National Museum of Australia. I was taken so much with it that I photographed it on my iphone:

IMG-4696 (1)

What stood out for me was “…For death is the nature, not the punishment of humankind.” When I think about that, it makes sense; it’s in our nature to die a physical death but does our spirit continue? Everything that I’ve experienced through clairvoyance and mediumship tell me that there is life beyond an earthly existence. Whether we believe that or not, depends on faith. I don’t mean faith in a religious sense but faith in the unseen, what is not apparent but is nevertheless real.

There are many scientific studies on life after death…if you need the proof. Scientists have recently been revising 20 year old theories on consciousness, concluding that: “The quantum information within the micro-tubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large….it’s possible that this quantum information [stores in can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.” You can read more about this study here.

From a metaphysical point of view, there are ways we can tune into what is known as the ‘Afterlife’. We can do this through the Clairs…clairvoyance and clairaudience for example, and we can do this through mediumship…all abilities that human beings can access, sometimes automatically and, at other times, with training. It would surprise you just how common seeing a loved one after they pass can be…certainly it’s been common for me and for nearly all the people I know.

But at the end of the day, it’s a matter of belief and, as we know, beliefs can be as hard as concrete or as fickle as inattention. However, if you put your attention on the spiritual, on noticing the truly magical that is around you, you begin to actually see the signs and the flow of all things. And if your brain tends towards the sciences examine one thing…the nature of energy. Energy is real. It can be felt, and there’s no reason to think our energy does not continue after our physical bodies die.

You can visit my YouTube channel, or visit my Patreon site where you’ll find an overlay of the spiritual, of the energetic and of the humanistic.

 

Is Karma real?

Hello,

I started my YouTube channel Revealing Light Tarot to use the psychic gifts I was born with but had pushed to the background for most of my life. Instead I pursued a mainstream career, working as a media editor and, later, for the government and in consulting. Despite full and productive jobs, I always felt something was missing…it was. I wasn’t communicating directly enough with spirit.

In 2015, I was hit with the news I had cancer. Thankfully it was early stage but, nevertheless, treatment was harsh. Radiation, chemo, surgery and more chemo. It was during this time that my connection with spirit strengthened. In fact, it more than strengthened, it became supercharged. After that there was no going back. And so Revealing Light Tarot was born.

I got my first tarot deck when I was 23 years old…from an old shop tucked away on the outskirts of Kings Cross. My Aquarian deck was located in a disused part of the shop, gathering dust. I was drawn to the strange archetypes, knights and queens and, particularly, to the High Priestess. Over the years I read for family and friends…until cancer and the compelling need to live more spiritually and to use my gifts, rather than shy away from them or, more to the point, fear them.

I read recently on whether or not Karma is real. These messages are channeled quickly and through my Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The case is presented for our God given gift of manifestation, and for the practical and spiritual benefits of keeping the slate clean.

Here is a link to the file. What do you think? Is Karma real?
