Reading for Friday, 10 April 2026 – An Oracle Card for the Day
Oracle Deck: Enchanted Earth Oracle
Card 1 - Divine Timing – Timing/Trust/Success
BASE: - New Dawn – Death/Rebirth/Grief
So today I woke up feeling pretty good and decided to pull a card of the day from an oracle deck. The one I was really drawn to is The Enchanted Earth Oracle by Jessica Lahoud. I shuffled the cards while thinking of Honey, even though I hadn’t planned to focus on her - she just naturally came into my thoughts.
It felt like the right deck for the moment, especially as it’s such a sunny day and spring is really in full swing - blossoms everywhere and, of course, a bit of hay fever too with all the sniffing and sneezing. So, I just went with it to see where it would lead me.
This oracle really did feel like the right one, so I sat thinking of Honey and shuffled. The card I pulled was Divine Timing, with the keywords timing, trust, success, and it is card number 28.
It made me think that losing her happened when it was meant to. I’ve been looking ahead to having some restructuring work done on the house, and I thought about how, if that had been going on at the time, there would have been workmen everywhere. Then again, I also wondered if the veranda I’m waiting for had already been done - she might have been able to spend her days outside peacefully when the weather was good, and maybe it would have been less stressful for both of us.
But I keep coming back to the idea of divine timing - that it happened when it was meant to, that she lived her life as she was meant to, and left when she was meant to. I do believe that we are always where we’re supposed to be, even if it doesn’t feel that way at the time.
The affirmation for Divine Timing is “I am in harmony with the timing of life. Everything comes to me at exactly the right time”. Being a tarot reader, it really felt quite Magician-like to me - very much the kind of energy I connect with when manifesting. When I read the guidebook, it really echoed that same feeling of trusting timing. It felt very on point.
It honestly felt amazing. And anyone who knows me knows I always read the base of the deck as well - I can’t just pull one card; I always have to look at the base too. When I turned it over, I was blown away. These cards really do feel like pathways to understanding and self discovery. I know some people don’t like cards and feel like you’re giving your power away, or that someone else must read them for you. But I really don’t see it that way. I believe you can pick them up yourself and your energy goes into them. They’re not magical on their own - it’s the intention you bring to them.
They are beautiful, yes, but when you shuffle with real intent - for the highest good and for the Light - things come through that are quite incredible. I really can’t stress that enough. There are so many little insights and aha moments when you sit with that energy.
The base card was New Dawn, card number 4, with the keywords death, rebirth, grief. I was honestly stunned. You really couldn’t make it up.
It’s funny, because as I was speaking this into a speech to text app, it even wrote grief in capital letters. That felt strange, almost like it knew exactly what this was all about!
The wording is “I welcome strength, power, and the courage to evolve”. The card also has a blackbird on it, which really stood out to me. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been feeding the birds in the garden, with little stockings of nuts hanging up, and every afternoon the garden fills with all sorts of birds. There are so many blackbirds, walking through the long grass, flying down from the trees, moving around under the table and chairs. It just felt like such a strong connection in that moment.
So, I found myself sitting here, reflecting and asking a few questions – some really deep questions – let’s call them ‘Soul Questions’.
One that came up was whether Honey’s soul purpose might have been to go ahead so she could help me and others with pet mediumship. It actually feels quite real. In a previous mediumship reading, my Daddy had encouraged me to explore mediumship and working with animals. I had asked what direction to go in, and I said I was thinking of taking a workshop on pet mediumship with Lillian Steiner. He literally jumped at this and kept encouraging me to do it, which I did, but on the day of the workshop I couldn’t focus because Honey had really not been too well and I was terrified that she was actually going to pass – on the day I was doing a pet mediumship workshop – and it was a late Sunday evening! Her breathing had changed and she was panting heavily, and I just didn’t know what to do, so I stepped back. I didn’t do the practice readings in zoom breakout rooms but just stayed and chatted about Honey with Lillian and the host. They were both incredibly kind and really helped to settle my heart and soul. It felt very special to be able to spend such a lot of valuable time with Lillian, an animal communicator, at the time when I really felt Honey might pass.
More recently, at a pet mediumship workshop held by Tony Stockwell, Honey came through in all three of my practice readings. In one of them, the pet was meant to come through first, but my Daddy came in straight away and Honey was with him. Even the lady I was working with said she had my Daddy there even before we started to work. It was quite amazing and so reassuring.
On 29 December 2025, I had a reading because another medium had mentioned that date as a possibility of Honey passing then and my Daddy came through straight away holding a lead. It felt very reassuring - he was waiting for her, everything would be okay, and he would look after her. He even said that if I didn’t let her go, he couldn’t catch her. And of course, as most of you know, on 23 February, I did let her go.
After that, she came through to a medium friend of mine as well and helped her understand pet mediumship more deeply. I truly feel she will help me too.
It does make me feel that maybe this is why she left when she did. I know she’s around, just not in the way I expected. This is all still quite new to me, and I’m learning as I go. Mediumship brings so many of those little ‘aha moments’. There’s nothing secret about it - it’s really about surrendering, trusting what comes through, and not overthinking it.
I used to think I would see people appear or hear clear voices, but it’s not like that at all. It’s very different from what I imagined. So, I know that how Honey is still close will be different too.
I’ve also realized something quite important about grief. You don’t have to be crying all the time. I used to think that if I wasn’t constantly upset or thinking about her every moment, it meant I didn’t love her as much - but that just isn’t true. It doesn’t take anything away from the love.
Of course, crying is natural and healthy when it comes, but it doesn’t have to be constant. They wouldn’t want us to stay in that space either.
It all really does feel like a learning process - that’s the only way I can describe it.
And today, these cards have had me sitting here at my desk in the sun for nearly an hour, just reflecting. It feels like part of the grieving process in itself. I wanted to share it. Maybe it’s a bit of an overshare, but I don’t think it is. My community really feels like friends, and if sharing this helps me, it might help someone else too.
So, thank you for reading and God bless.
