Will I Have Children? - 4/9/06

Dear A,

When I tuned in to do your reading, I took into account all of the questions you sent me. I specifically asked for guidance not just about "if" you would have children, but I also requested more detailed info about the conditions under which you might have children.

Your Tea Leaf Reading - The Symbol of the Basket Weaver

The symbol that appeared in the tea leaves was of a figure, feminine looking and curvy, sitting next to a pile of something. As I meditated on your questions and looked closely at the pile, I realized that there were individual leaves looking like straw next to the human figure. Some of the straw pieces were already piled together, others were loose.

I realized that this was the symbol of the basket weaver.

The basket weaver represents that part of you that is actively choosing your destiny, weaving together different threads of possibility to create the desired outcome. In this case, the basket was just partially finished, so it wasn't yet complete. This means that as far as having children goes, the complete reality of you having kids isn't quite yet ready to manifest. In fact, you may not even be clear yet about whether you want to have kids or not. You're the basket weaver, pulling together the elements and ingredients to create the desired outcome for your life. And the incomplete basket means that you haven't yet decided on the outcome you want. It's too soon.

I know that when you sent me your question, you were probably basing your question on the idea that having kids is predestined or in some way carved in stone. But I have to tell you that it isn't.

I used to do psychic readings full-time in private practice, and one of the methods of readings I used was palm reading. You can see so much about a person's life in the lines of their hand. There is even an area of the hand referred to as "children's lines."

Over the process of reading thousands of people's palms, I discovered interesting things about the lines. They are constantly changing, for one thing. So the idea that what is going on in your hand is "fixed" or unchangeable is inaccurate. Negative gypsy type fortunetellers will often try to intimidate people into believing that what appears in the palm reflects permanent states or conditions, but this is an inaccuracy brought forward by darker gypsy types (vs. the positive Romany people. Gypsy culture, like all cultures, has its friendly folks and its nefarious types.)

For many centuries, negative gypsies have purposefully scared people to make them vulnerable to paying them money. They extract money by getting people all worked up about their palms and telling them they are "cursed." Of course, for various fees ranging from $100 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, the gypsies will be happy to remove the curse! Stay clear of such racketeers. Those types of readers have nothing to do with the genuine type of psychic. They have contributed to many false beliefs and superstitions that have cast a permanent cloud over psychic work.

Over time, people began to believe that if they didn't have children lines on their palm, then they'd never have children. Or they thought that if they HAD children lines, then they were destined to have children.

I've found that this is simply untrue. I've seen people with children lines on their palms who had kids and some who didn't. I've seen some people have children's lines one year, and then the next year when we did a follow-up session they didn't have children's lines, and this all accompanied a change of heart where the person arrived at a decision NOT to have kids when before they had thought they WOULD have them. So the lines shift to reflect choices that a person is making.

We Choose Whether We Have Children Through Our Higher Self

You can, at any time, through prayer and intention, invoke for a willing and wonderful spirit to be drawn to you as your future child. Then, at the right time in the right situation (and with the right partner,) you'll conceive that child. Or, if you are physically infertile, that spirit might choose to come in as your future adopted child.

By the same token, if you decide that you DON'T wish to have children, you can pray to God/Goddess/Great Spirit or whatever aspect of the Divine you personally honor and cancel any contracts you have made to become a parent in this lifetime. Spiritual contracts are made, changed, and cancelled every day based on the choices we are making in any given lifetime. This is a natural process. There is no predestined thing. We are under no obligation to have kids if we don't want to. That's just cultural conditioning and religious programming talking.

We are spiritually sovereign beings who have to learn how to step into responsibility for ALL of the choices that we make and stand in the power and the beauty of making the choices that are right for us. Nobody else can - or should - do this for you.

So I'm afraid that, from the perspective of this tea leaf reading, I can't tell you that you're definitely going to have X amount of kids and that they're going to show up in a particular time period. Those choices are still being made by your Higher Self, as is evidenced by the appearance of the basket weaver in your reading.

The basket weaver with the half-completed basket at her side shows that you still need more time to arrive at the decision about what is right for you regarding the kids/no kids issue. You don't have enough life experience yet, you don't know enough about yourself and your ideal path. Give these things a little more time. How much time, you might ask? A minimum of three years, I'm getting, and quite possibly longer. You probably won't have figured out what is right for you in this lifetime until a few more years go by. Too many important things will be happening in your personal life, your career life, and in your spiritual evolution to make this definitive choice before then.

So rather than demand these answers from the Universe right now, I'd recommend allowing your life to unfold. Embrace adventure, relationships, and opportunities that are still headed your way in the near future. As more of these happen, you'll start to gain clarity about what you really want regarding motherhood or potential motherhood. Right now is too soon. The basket weaver hasn't finished weaving her basket just yet.

One day, that basket will be complete. The basket weaver will have learned more about herself and will be more in touch with her true, most highest desires in this lifetime. And that's when the right situation will be present in your life. Either you'll be happily childfree and clear about remaining that way, or you'll be on your way to impending motherhood or adopted motherhood. The right path will be clear at that point. Now is too soon.

I hope the information presented here is helpful to you. Remember when you start thinking about this whole kids/no kids issue that right now you are still the basket weaver, contemplating different possibilities and assembling the ingredients for your ideal life. Until the basket is complete, you won't have 100% clarify about the children issue. But when you DO have that clarity, the timing will be perfect.

Thanks very much for letting me read for you.
