🌊 Calming waters to soothe the fire: a full moon reading and resources
Pick-a-card from the Ocean Dreams oracle
Hello friends and seekers,
Welcome to a big, bright, and heavy full moon week.
I don’t need to tell you how tragic and heavy the past few days have been for so many folks. Just like all things, the ferocious fires burning in California have a light and a shadow.
I think the shadow is obvious.
But the light continues to grow as people are called to help. It’s one of my favorite things about human beings: when things are dire we are reminded of our strength and most will rise to the challenge.
I believe we are mostly good. We are ready to channel and share the light that we always have access to and that we are built to harness.
If you’re feeling far away or helpless, here are some resources you may want to check out:
Soothing Waters
The Ocean Dreams oracle felt right for today’s reading. I wanted to offer a soothing vibe and message.
Like many oracle decks, this one comes with a short attunement prayer that helps to set the tone before working with the deck.
Feel free to try it out:
Thank you for being here, wherever you are.

one
Shifting Fear
This card invites you to acknowledge and release any fears that have been weighing heavily on your heart.
As wildfires rage, both literally and metaphorically, fear can seem pervasive and overwhelming. But shifting fear is about recognizing that fear doesn’t need to control you—it can shift and transform.
In this moment, allow yourself to breathe deeply and witness the fear without judgment. Recognize that it’s only a passing wave, one that can be softened with awareness and self-compassion.
As the fires rage around you, know that you have the power to center yourself, to find calm in the chaos, and to allow the fear to shift into something more manageable.
Mantra: “I acknowledge my fear and release its hold over me. I choose peace and trust in the flow of change.”

Lemurian Waters
Lemurian Waters brings the message of peace, emotional depth, and the healing power of water.
This card calls you to connect with your emotional core, seeking comfort in the flow of feelings rather than the intensity of external chaos. Just like the ocean, your emotions can ebb and flow, but beneath the surface, there is a deep reservoir of calm.
In the face of crisis, it is essential to dive into these waters of healing and replenish your spirit. Let the stillness of the deep waters soothe you, knowing that even in the midst of storms, there is a place within you that remains peaceful and whole.
Mantra: “I dive into the depths of my emotions and find stillness within. I am whole, I am calm, I am replenished.”
three
Recalibration
Recalibration represents a period of realignment, especially when things feel out of balance.
The wildfires around you may make everything feel unstable, but this card is a reminder that the external world is constantly shifting, and so are you. Now is the time to reset your intentions and reaffirm your connection to what is truly important.
Recalibrate your energy, allowing yourself to reconnect with your grounding presence. Allow this moment of recalibration to guide you toward balance, helping you navigate the unpredictability of life with grace.
Breathe. Step outside. Allow silent moments.
Trust that by adjusting your internal compass, you can regain stability amidst the chaos.
Mantra: “I realign my energy with my highest purpose. I trust in my ability to find balance and flow amidst the shifting tides.”
