Starburst_au and WolfSwan Practice Divination Thread

WolfSwan

Hi SB - Happy Sunday!!

Here's the thread we discussed! It will be a slow pace and we can swap questions as we go along:

Write down a few questions ? And I'll get around to them ?
I'll probably use toys for the time being.... Open to suggestions ?

So my questions:

Following on from the last thread with the toy divination, I wonder if you might look a bit more deeply into the new romantic interest coming into my life and maybe some of the circumstances around that? I've been single for a year after a break up with, someone I thought was the person I'd spend my life with. It's been hard letting go of those dreams and him, but I feel like I've come a long way.

Also, I have a real desire to grow my business, but something seems to be blocking me, and I'm not sure what it is.

And I want to adopt a dog. I have two cats and live in an apartment in the city. I'm not sure if it's loneliness that's driving me, but I have met this gorgeous boy at the place I volunteer and I just had this weird connection with him, much like I did with my girl Charlotte when she adopted me ;)

Write down a few questions ? And I'll get around to them ?
I'll probably use toys for the time being.... Open to suggestions ?
As for exchanges... I'd really like to know more about my guides and messages they have for me.... And I guess general spiritual / intuitive development ....

Okay...I'm going to address these one by one following!
 

starburst_au

Perfect!

Thank for making the thread !

I'll start going through your questions... and see what happens. Also totally open to constructive feedback :D

Cheers,
SB
 

WolfSwan

Awesome!

I won't get to these until a bit later in the week maybe. I've had a tough weekend and my head isn't quiet enough for the proper meditation I like doing, so no rush on yours.

Always open to constructive feedback!!!

Following on from the last thread with the toy divination, I wonder if you might look a bit more deeply into the new romantic interest coming into my life and maybe some of the circumstances around that? I've been single for a year after a break up with, someone I thought was the person I'd spend my life with. It's been hard letting go of those dreams and him, but I feel like I've come a long way.

I'm doing the random toy divination again and selected a little shopkins bag with shopkins figures in the bag. Shopkins are toys manufactured by Moose Toys. Based on grocery store items, each plastic figurine has a face and unique name. The collectible toys (which are designated as common, rare, and ultra rare) have also spawned a line of books and trading cards, as well as a YouTube channel.

The figures inside the tiny shopkins shopping bag were a pair os purple ballet flat shoes or they could even be slippers... lol and a taco. (these toy divinations are getting pretty funny)

So some things that I randomally picked up when 'opening up' before doing the reading...

I got a picture of a runway... a plane taxing on to a runway. It felt like this new person who will be entering your life could travel for work, or perhaps he has traveled a distance to see you... or it could be that this significant other is on holidays when he meets you?

I also go an image of a keyboard. Not sure what that was all about and I was having a think about things... so it could be that you make an online profile and perhaps meet him online, it could be that this person works with computers or has something to do with computer.... having said that – yeah i'm aware that we all use keyboards a lot these days...
The shoes – I think that this person is going to be comfortable in their own skin and have this very... 'comfortable' feel to him. As in he'll probably wear really casual clothing and generally be a chilled out kind of person. As in stress just isn't in his life... he chooses to let it roll away from him...
The taco – this made me laugh. I'm not sure if the taco represents a love of eating food from different culture... I also associate tacos / Mexican food with awesome / fun time... enjoying great food and usually with awesome company.

The taco – could also mean that this significant other could be from a different background?
The shopping bag – This could represent that you may meet your significant other whilst out shopping somewhere? So if you're out and about you may stumble across someone.. ;)

The guy – I think that the person you will meet will be down to earth as i've mentioned but her will rational and also ambitious, but be really open and honest with his communication..... I think potentially shoulder length blondish hair... kinda surfie type... Attractive and tall... He'll stand out to you, physically...

I also think that you will meet this person when your business is stable and you're comfortable with that... this however may take some time...

I also think that you'll be needing to make a decision between 2 men... There will be someone in the picture when you meet this 'significant other' - I think that you'll be over analysing the situation... you don't need to.... You can find a compromise...

I still feel that you'll meet the person during / around summer time... not sure if it's this year or not... but I do get a feel for summer...
That's bout it my end...

Cheers,
SB

Hahaha! I'm loving the toy divination. What a unique way to work!

So some things that I randomally picked up when 'opening up' before doing the reading...

I got a picture of a runway... a plane taxing on to a runway. It felt like this new person who will be entering your life could travel for work, or perhaps he has traveled a distance to see you... or it could be that this significant other is on holidays when he meets you?

I've been told that my partner is someone who travels for work and is also from overseas. So this could resonate. I love travel and change, so it would be good to be paired with someone who is equally interested in such things!

I also go an image of a keyboard. Not sure what that was all about and I was having a think about things... so it could be that you make an online profile and perhaps meet him online, it could be that this person works with computers or has something to do with computer.... having said that – yeah i'm aware that we all use keyboards a lot these days...

Even when we online date nowadays, there is no keyboard involved. It's more of a swipe left / swipe right. And I'm not interested in being online anymore. I have a strong inclination that I'm going to meet this guy in real life and not online. I met my ex partner on Tinder, so I have no stigma with the app, I've even got a friend who I occasionally hook up with but is more a business buddy that I met on there, so I know you can meet epic people online. I just don't feel like it's part of the journey I need to take to meet the one. But yes, nowadays we're all always on our computers lol!!

The shoes – I think that this person is going to be comfortable in their own skin and have this very... 'comfortable' feel to him. As in he'll probably wear really casual clothing and generally be a chilled out kind of person. As in stress just isn't in his life... he chooses to let it roll away from him...

Well, I like that. My lovely ex was not a person comfortable in their own skin and this caused many problems. Mind you, we did feel ridiculously comfortable together for a long time! I like that I'll have that feeling of ease and comfort when I'm with him. Casual clothing doesn't always appeal to me. I'm a city person, I like dressing up and hitting a new restaurant with friends, or an event or opening here and there. Mind you I can be very casual at the same time, given I work with rescue dogs! So a good balance is fine. That was one of the issues I had with the ex. He would be very uncomfortable when I dressed casually, which he found to be trendy I guess for the average person, but it's how I like to dress, and he would always say he didn't want to embarrass me with what he was wearing. And I'm talking here just a normal sundress and hat and sunnies that I would wear! Nothing fancy! The sad thing is, I always though he looked great no matter what he wore, and told him so, but that never seemed to seep through. I wouldn't want to repeat the pattern here, so if he's comfortable with who he is, all the better...as long as he can scrub up when we're heading to a big event because I love a man in a suit...

The taco – this made me laugh. I'm not sure if the taco represents a love of eating food from different culture... I also associate tacos / Mexican food with awesome / fun time... enjoying great food and usually with awesome company.

Woohoo!! Ironically my best friend and his wife and I are planning to hit a local mexican restaurant for some yummy food and TEQUILA! Haha :) I love Mexican food. I would have laughed if it was Nachos, since there is a special story between someone else and me and nachos. Tacos are great. I love exploring new food and restaurants, and I love socialising with my friends, so awesome company is a good thing! Someone who is social will work well!

The taco – could also mean that this significant other could be from a different background?
The shopping bag – This could represent that you may meet your significant other whilst out shopping somewhere? So if you're out and about you may stumble across someone.. ;)

Well, in my case most people are from a different background than I am. I'm Indian, Scottish and Portuguese and grew up in Montreal Canada. So even if he's Australian, he'd be from a different background technically. Also I've always been attracted to Caucasians so I figure that's pretty much set going forward as to who I'll end up with :)

The guy – I think that the person you will meet will be down to earth as i've mentioned but her will rational and also ambitious, but be really open and honest with his communication..... I think potentially shoulder length blondish hair... kinda surfie type... Attractive and tall... He'll stand out to you, physically...

I like the down to earth part, and the rational and ambitious part. I love someone who is open and honest in their communication. That's such a key for me. I'm not really attracted to men with long hair, that tends to make me wrinkle my nose. At my age you really should be seeing a good barber! And I'm not drawn to surfy types because I'm the opposite of a water baby! I'm never at the beach. I'll be in the middle of the forest, and I used to force myself to go with my ex, but I never enjoy being in the ocean...not in Perth anyway. The water is too dang cold! I don't mind the Mediterranean now and then, but then, I rarely go into large bodies of water. I don't mind being on a boat, but wouldn't go on a cruise by choice. I love the tall aspect. I do just like the way I fit into a tall person. I also like that he'll stand out to me physically. Sexual attraction as much as intellectual attraction are key points. If I don't connect with someone on those two levels it won't last long :)

I also think that you will meet this person when your business is stable and you're comfortable with that... this however may take some time...

Well, unfortunately I don't think my business is taking up right now. It's slow moving. So that's not a great sign.

I also think that you'll be needing to make a decision between 2 men... There will be someone in the picture when you meet this 'significant other' - I think that you'll be over analysing the situation... you don't need to.... You can find a compromise...

A compromise between two men? That doesn't sound good, lol! I am currently in a casual relationship let's call it with a friend...so I guess if I meet someone that I'm emotionally interested in, then I will call an end to the casual relations with MH. That is a given. I wouldn't date two people at the same time, as I wouldn't want someone doing that to me...

I still feel that you'll meet the person during / around summer time... not sure if it's this year or not... but I do get a feel for summer...
That's bout it my end...

Cheers,
SB

Ooh...summer isn't far away! I hope you're right and it's this summer and not next summer! Thanks for the reading. I'll get onto yours tonight after work! I'm late already! Gosh I loath Mondays :S

Reading 1 for SB

Hi SB

Hope you're having a relaxing Monday night. I tuned in a little while ago and I'm going to type up what I got. I hope it makes sense!

The first sensation that came up was in your solar plexus. I got a swelling feeling, like it was expanding, but at the same time a coldness at the back. So the back of the chakras is about your ability to receive. To me this means that you're not allowing praise, help and wellbeing into your experience right now. For some reason, you are not allowing yourself to receive a helping hand perhaps. The solar plexus is about ego, personal power and confidence. It's the responsibility and reliability section. I feel this means your taking on a lot of responsibility and not accepting help to deal with matters at hand. Of course being a new mum again isn't easy, but are you being overly critical of yourself and trying to do it all. Are you rebuffing your partner perhaps when he tries to help because he can't do it as well as you, or how you like things to be done. It's the centre of control, so the swelling could indicate that you are trying to control how everything runs here and that this is resulting in some personal conflicts, and if it's not yet it will!

This is a powerful chakra that allows you to transform inertia into action, so you're doing, doing, doing and meeting every challenge, but the cold spot in your back is a warning that you cannot give from an empty cup. The main challenge of the solar plexus is about using your personal power in a balanced manner, so I feel there might be a warning here from your guides about how you're using your power in your family dynamics. People with over energised solar plexuses can have emotional outbursts that are unwarranted and can often be super stressed out.

The main message of the solar plexus chakra is: You have the power to choose.

The next thing that hit me was a splitting headache. Did you hit the back of your head on something? Or do you just have a headache? It could indicate a blockage of your crown chakra and the need to meditate (good luck with a new bubba!!). Simply wearing a stone that is linked to the Crown chakra can help, such as amethyst as I feel like this will not only help calm you but also increase your link to your divine source.

I also got a strong knot in my throat which indicates two things - unshed tears and not living or speaking your truth. When you swallow your words, anger, and reactions all the time this can cause blockages in your throat chakra. Another thing that popped into my mind is that you are purposely ignoring a problem that is blatantly obvious, that you know is happening right beneath your nose, but you're not willing to look at right now.

Reconnecting with your divine guidance will help you deal with this situation. Pretending it's not happening isn't going to make it okay, and eventually the Universe will smack you over the head with it if you keep ignoring it. Trust me. It sucks.

I got the image of a mirror in the bedroom (you know, those closet sliding doors that are mirrored) and pulling white curtains over it. So again, we have the message that your hiding away from something. In Feng Shui mirrors are bad luck when they face the bed as this adds a third party energy to the bedroom. I get the feeling this is a message about your relationship and something that's been bothering you that you're not bringing up - is it a nagging mother-in-law, or sister-in-law? Somehow you're swallowing back and trying to ignore something in your relationship that very much needs to be calmly aired. I'd suggest getting a blue lace agate and pairing it with a sodalite and kyanite before you have this conversation! This will help you speak your truth calmly, without becoming defensive and unwittingly giving offence.

I'm also getting the sensation of wings coming out of the back and spreading out which to me is a sign that you need to rise above it. Step back and look at this situation with a bird's eye view and also "rise above" in the literal sense of being a bigger person about this.

The words to that old nursery rhyme "star bright, star light, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight" popped into my head.

I wonder if perhaps it's a good idea to set yourself some time at the next full moon on 18 August to do a gratitude journal and ritual for all the things you're grateful for. I wonder if perhaps you've been wishing and yearning, which only puts the energy of wishing and yearning out into the Universe. Perhaps writing your wish as if it was already yours and expressing gratitude for it might help it manifest quicker. Plus, it's also good to feel gratitude :)

I hope this rambling makes some sense!! Looking forward to your feedback!

Hey SB,

Maybe for my next question would you mind looking into the dog situation? I just found out there's an outdated strata rule that says small dog only here where I'm renting so I'm not considering buying again - after a year's freedom from the mortgage drudgery all because of this dog 😂

I'm usually a rational person, so I wonder if there is something deeper going on here. So perhaps insight into why I so want this particular pup (greyhound currently called Diesel whom I've already renamed Maxwell) and what energies are playing out with this whole situation!

Hi SB

***THANK YOU***
I can never work out how to do the quotes on this forum so i'll add the feedback with ***


Hope you're having a relaxing Monday night. I tuned in a little while ago and I'm going to type up what I got. I hope it makes sense!

*** Yeah, I did have a somewhat relaxing monday night thanks, hope you did too!***

The first sensation that came up was in your solar plexus. I got a swelling feeling, like it was expanding, but at the same time a coldness at the back. So the back of the chakras is about your ability to receive. To me this means that you're not allowing praise, help and wellbeing into your experience right now.

It's the centre of control, so the swelling could indicate that you are trying to control how everything runs here and that this is resulting in some personal conflicts, and if it's not yet it will!

*** Hmmm interesting that you mentioned the solar plexus! I've been working on an exercise that was part of the divination exercises on the forum.. the warm up and warm down ones... When I'm visualising the solar plexus opening up... i've noticed that I was a bit distracted or it took a while to visualise a flower opening up. So thanks for that! Will speak to my energeic healer about that...

***Not sure about not allowing a helping hand/s in... i'm totally open for anyone to help out with the family lol..My partner has been ok. Yeah there is an element of oh you're not doing things with the new bubba that I would (Ie feeding him a bottle like I do). But I've let that go... and my reasoning is... If Dad is doing it... i get a break lol... Kinda deal.

***The control thing is there generally speaking, as in things need to be done so the house hold functions (school uniforms / food shopping blah blah). There hasn't been any major conflcits ... but thanks for the heads up.



This is a powerful chakra that allows you to transform inertia into action, so you're doing, doing, doing and meeting every challenge, but the cold spot in your back is a warning that you cannot give from an empty cup. The main challenge of the solar plexus is about using your personal power in a balanced manner, so I feel there might be a warning here from your guides about how you're using your power in your family dynamics. People with over energised solar plexuses can have emotional outbursts that are unwarranted and can often be super stressed out.

*** Yep, totally aware I can't give from an empty cup. The balanced thing / being balanced in all areas of my life has come up a lot for me in the past month.... My partner also mentioned this.... Also needing to get an 'energy balance' from the energetic healer i see... got an appt booked so that's all good lol. But yes, the emotional outburst from being stressed out (especially in the morning! getting 3 people ready is totally there lol!

The main message of the solar plexus chakra is: You have the power to choose.

The next thing that hit me was a splitting headache. Did you hit the back of your head on something? Or do you just have a headache? It could indicate a blockage of your crown chakra and the need to meditate (good luck with a new bubba!!). Simply wearing a stone that is linked to the Crown chakra can help, such as amethyst as I feel like this will not only help calm you but also increase your link to your divine source.

*** I had a few headaches a few weeks ago. Probably more sleep deprivation than anything else... BUT what does resonate is the need to meditate! I have a daily meditation I had been doing quite regularly on the bus, on the way to work. When I found out I was pregnant, I stopped doing the meditation.... TOTALLY need to get back into that... it's a guided meditation that I really enjoy....
Also... awesome about mentioning the amethyst! I recently (as in the past 2 -3 days) put my amethyst necklace back on.... (a crystal on a chain) I felt drawn to wear it again when I started doing more readings on the forum...

***Also... not sure if it's JUST a month old baby reflexes but my Son always grabs the crystal... it's funny... I was told long before he was born / concieved that he would be a spiritual person... so maybe the crystal is calming for him to hold... (getting a bit hippy git here lol :p)

I also got a strong knot in my throat which indicates two things - unshed tears and not living or speaking your truth. When you swallow your words, anger, and reactions all the time this can cause blockages in your throat chakra. Another thing that popped into my mind is that you are purposely ignoring a problem that is blatantly obvious, that you know is happening right beneath your nose, but you're not willing to look at right now.

***Hmmmm the throat chakra. Yeah.. i have been avoiding communicating with someone. Ignoring them and in essence swallowing words. However, communicating with this said person isn't a good thing for me and there isn't much to explore. Somethings are better left unsaid... BUT i can see how holding on to that i causing blocks. (need to release that..)


Reconnecting with your divine guidance will help you deal with this situation. Pretending it's not happening isn't going to make it okay, and eventually the Universe will smack you over the head with it if you keep ignoring it. Trust me. It sucks.

***Yeah, I agree with this... let go, with love. Kinda deal.

I got the image of a mirror in the bedroom (you know, those closet sliding doors that are mirrored) and pulling white curtains over it. So again, we have the message that your hiding away from something. In Feng Shui mirrors are bad luck when they face the bed as this adds a third party energy to the bedroom.

***ooooh! Our bed faces a mirror. And my daughters bedroom. And it always felt a lil creepy.

I get the feeling this is a message about your relationship and something that's been bothering you that you're not bringing up - is it a nagging mother-in-law, or sister-in-law?

*** Oh yeah, this was some family stuff that came up around the birth of our son. My partner was a tad sensitive over some stuff that he perceived.

Somehow you're swallowing back and trying to ignore something in your relationship that very much needs to be calmly aired. I'd suggest getting a blue lace agate and pairing it with a sodalite and kyanite before you have this conversation! This will help you speak your truth calmly, without becoming defensive and unwittingly giving offence.

*** It was aired. I like to keep the communication lines open. I probably would have liked to be a bit more blunt about my partner's mother lol but I just listened... which helped my partner. I vented to my friend and mum tho lol! Thanks for mentioning the stones. I might have to get some and keep them with me..... good to have on hand :D

I'm also getting the sensation of wings coming out of the back and spreading out which to me is a sign that you need to rise above it. Step back and look at this situation with a bird's eye view and also "rise above" in the literal sense of being a bigger person about this.

*** lol - yeah, I did 'rise above it' and just listened to my partner. I thought the situation was so petty. But it was real and annoying for my partner...

The words to that old nursery rhyme "star bright, star light, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight" popped into my head.

** I love stars! Stars / night... all things I love a lot.

I wonder if perhaps it's a good idea to set yourself some time at the next full moon on 18 August to do a gratitude journal and ritual for all the things you're grateful for. I wonder if perhaps you've been wishing and yearning, which only puts the energy of wishing and yearning out into the Universe.

ooooo! Yes, this is great. I usually do a manifesting ritual on the full moon (which falls on my b/day this year! ) I do like the feel of writing a wish as if it was already mine and expressing gratitude is an awesome idea! Thanks for that!

I hope this rambling makes some sense!! Looking forward to your feedback!

Thanks for the reading! You've picked up on lots of little things that a relevant and resonated with me. And given suggestions on how to 'fix' or support them... much appreciated!

Anything that you can think of.. maybe a daily ritual or affirmation regarding my solar plexus?

Cheers

Hey!

Yep I can look into that for you! (I'll have a look tomorrow night)

I read your detailed feedback - thank you. Much appreciated. I'll write some bits and pieces a little bit later..(on the feedback you wrote)

Something to have a laugh about... I did a quick glance around the lounge room (where my daughter's toys seem to friken breed daily) looking for a toy that stood out... i glanced over at the lounge and I saw a yellow dog figurine (Jake from Adventure Time - it's a cartoon)

Cheers

Maybe because I've been working with crystals a lot, the stone Pyrite came to mind. Also, there are some wonderful chakra opening meditations online that you can find. I like starting with grounding, before pulling the earth's healing energies into each energy centre in the body. Citrine is another great crystal to lie with on your solar plexus. Don't forget to concentrate on the back as well as the chakras are at the front and back of your body :)
