Oracle Readings /Navigational consultations with Jim Ventura
What is an Oracle?
Oracles are powerful tools which represent different culture’s perspectives on all aspects of life in our world. Oracles offer us an opportunity to get glimpses, insights, images, and ideas which will tell us about the dynamics, the “seeds,” that lie behind events and experiences in our past, present, and future. Oracles do not absolve you of the responsibility for selecting your future, but rather direct your attention toward those inner choices that may be the most important elements in determining the future.
Astrology, Numerology, Tarot and other Oracles allow you to see yourself in a new light and to grow in consciousness.
My Unique style of working with clients:
I am quite good at getting images and glimpses of what is probable (likely to occur) in your near and sometimes distant future. This ability is often helped tremendously when I use Tarot and other oracles in sessions. My primary goal when I work with clients is to help them see what areas are working, and what may need to be adjusted to move to a place of happiness and more success in life. I will give excellent suggestions and guidance to help you to do this during sessions. The spreads I do with many different types of oracles will help give you insight into your life at multiple levels. I have worked with many people and thousands of spreads over the years so my ability to guide, give insight, and help you to make a stronger connection to your Higher Self is fine-tuned.
All of the session:
* are in a comfortable, relaxed environment
* are private and confidential
* provide practical information
* Sessions can also be done by phone for out of area clients. I-phone users can request Face-Time, or u can set up a zoom call (I can receive but client must have a Zoom account to set up one).
6 Ways Navigational Consultant sessions with Jim Ventura may enhance your life:
1. Awareness of synchronicity
2. Intuitive Guidance
3. Understanding karmic design and learning to shift away from any sense of victimization to a more empowered personal reality
4. Working with Spirit Guides and your Higher Self more often and with more clarity
5. Increased awareness of life purpose and the challenges, talents and the unique abilities that are yours for this lifetime.
6. Heightened sense of peace and well-being
NUMEROLOGY and TAROT READING
My most requested session is the Numerology profile and Tarot spread, which explores the blueprint for your life. Numerology explains your: destiny numbers, heart’s desire, personality, life path, karmic lessons, challenges, and personal years. Numerology will help you to understand your unique life pattern. The second part of the session will be a Tarot spread, to illuminate the themes of the coming months or year ahead. The Tarot is one of the most specific and accurate oracle tools for observing current issues and where your life is headed. Tarot offers powerful insight and direction in overcoming challenges and obstacles that may be in your path. Either a 45 minute, 70 or 90 minute session will work well for this session, although more information will be available in the longer sessions.
ASTROLOGICAL READING
The other most requested session is the Astrological reading, which interprets your personal astrology and aids in self awareness. By looking beyond your Sun sign (the stuff the newspapers focus on) and exploring your Moon sign, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Ascendant, etc... you can begin to gain clarity about the focus; and primary themes, of your life. House placements, aspects, and elements will help you see your patterns in greater detail. Transits will show what areas of your life are currently highlighted, and pinpoint upcoming astrological triggers for the future. Relationships, career, money, friendships, spiritual growth, family, health... all interpreted for you so you don't have to do the work. You will ideally need to know your birth time (a solar chart can be done if no birth time) for this reading. I use Western Astrology with Placidus house placements. Other types of Astrology systems can very useful but I work with this system.
Just a few of the most notable influences:
Ascendant: How we physically look, constitution, our basic personality and how others see us.
Moon sign: What we need to feel emotionally okay. What we are drawn to and how we nurture others.
Sun sign: How we strive for individuality. What our life task is. The house placement also shows our direction karma (dharma).
Mercury sign: How we think and communicate. House placement shows where this primarily occurs.
Venus sign How we love and express creative energy and the feminine.
A look at occupied and unoccupied house placements is key to getting a complete understanding of your souls life plan for this lifetime.
An in-depth astrology session can be very helpful in understanding who we are, why we are here, natural talents, challenges, and what our potential really is!
Another very popular option for astrology sessions is Astrology Composite Charts. This is an excellent way to look at your chart and your partners (very useful in empathy, understanding and more potential harmony to have the insight!) as well as a chart comparison. This gives guidance in what works, and what may be challenging in relationship.
Either a 45 minute, 70, or 90 minute session will work well for this session, although more information about will be available in the longer sessions.

DRUID ANIMAL ORACLE
From Snake Oil 87/Seeing Owl’s
“...I left the fun and noise of the casino for a bit to go relax in my room. I decided to sit on the back patio of my room and enjoy a calming look at the undeveloped land behind the casino. I immediately noticed there was a baby owl about 15 feet away from me. He seemed to be watching me with equal fascination. I felt blessed to see something that was so unusual. A few minutes later, two more owls landed about 8 feet from the other owl. I lit up a cigar and enjoyed hanging out with the owls for a bit. This experience was a great reminder that sometimes life can be magical if we simply allow it to be. This was definitely one of those times.
When we are open to seeing the animals that cross our path from another perspective we can benefit from the spiritual messages they share with us. I already knew what the message of seeing owls was from my studies of Druid teachings. Owl represents wisdom, detachment, and change. The Owl is the totem bird of clairvoyance and astral travel. The veil which surrounds the normal boundaries of space and time can be pierced if you allow the energy of Owl as ally. Owl is a sacred symbol of the Crone aspect and the Goddess of Death...”
One of the most important elements in understanding the Owl totem is the owls connection to turning a disadvantage into an advantage. Because of Owls exceptional hearing it is able to hunt at night and catch unsuspecting prey. Owl also reminds us of the wisdom of healthy detachment...”
DRUID ANIMAL ORACLE READING
The practice and ancient Druid teachings of animal totems and animal power is being revived. Every aspect of the natural world is alive and capable of being our allies, guides, and teachers. In Druid culture, wearing animal skins, heads, and feathers was a way of identifying with certain Animals and becoming them for a while in order to partake in their powers and to receive divine inspiration. This session will show what power animals are now available to you, and how they may already be influencing you. This spread is a perfect vehicle to open you up to the wisdom in the natural world around and within you.
VIKING RUNE STONES
Runes are an Ancient form of oracle used by Germanic and Nordic tribes, and notable connections with the Vikings. We often can see these symbols on shields, weapons, tapestries, and as signals and markers even in everyday life.
Many of us, especially the more logical folks by nature may understandably question how a “random” pull of a stone tell you anything of value? But are things actually random or just patterns we don’t understand yet? Maybe the collected wisdom over the ages contained in the Runes are simply universally evocative messages that contain some true wisdom to any situation? Or more likely they are something more, a specific signal that touches upon something deeper we need to know at this time?
The Runes are powerful directional arrows, and incredibly healing to work with. Not only do they point out where your struggles may be, but also show you how to heal them. Runes show us a path for correct conduct, what right action really is. As we heal ourselves internally, our personal external world heals as well. We learn to be in this world but not of it. The Runes will show you how to form the ultimate partnership-a partnership with your Higher Self. “Nothing external matters here, except as it shows you its inner reflection.” Ralph Blum
LAKOTA INDIAN CARD READING
Regardless of one's personal belief system, these teachings, meditation cards, and native American concepts are useful for illuminating issues, patterns, problems, and answers. The spread is part of a ceremony, a process of purification. You will be given 4 cards for each direction (N,S,E,W) to illuminate your current life path. It is the purpose of the supernaturals to force us to see our various aspects; to own and honor the many aspects of being human. They can then guide us to understanding, change, and true wholeness and balance.
MAH JONGG
In China, the professional soothsayer is held in great reverence. My studies of Mah Jongg and Feng Shui have been extensive. The modern game of Mah Jongg is actually a direct descendant of an ancient oracle thousands of years old. The four directions pinpoint the themes of the next six months of your life. Mah Jongg is uncanny, combining accuracy and mystery in a way that is unique. Watch how this “game” mirrors the magic of your life.
PAST LIFE READING
When I was younger I had a number of glimpses and memories of living other lifetime. There were even times when I would be talking with someone and see bleed throughs of other selves that I either knew myself in another time and place, or would sense who they were in another lifetime. When I was in my mid twenties I picked up a deck of cards that pinpointed other era’s cultures, and places that brought aspects of personality, or characteristics that are now parts of us in our current lifetimes. This became another type of reading I offered after years of study to help give insight to some of the clients I work with about significant influences from their own past lifetimes. The sessions often helped the understand what types of karmic situations they were currently dealing with or why they were drawn to certain, friends, intimate relationships, and even family members.
This insightful session focuses on uncovering some of your past lifetimes. My abilities combined with the Phoenix cards, will help you to reconnect with the lessons and themes of other lifetimes and other selves. By understanding our aspects of our past we become more clear about who we are in the present. We are multilayered and live many lives and just knowing this ends so much fear of the inevitable natural transition of our death in this lifetime.
You probably wont be surprised by the outcome of your past life reading. Most of us have dim and ghostly ideas of who we were. “Return me to the faraway places and times I once knew." This reading can powerfully jar your own memories of your past lifetimes.
ANGEL CARD READING
An angel card reading is an opportunity to ask your guides and angels a question while holding the question in mind. Every card that you draw comes to you for a reason. Angel card readings will help you to tune-in to the support and guidance available through your angelic and spiritual guides. We are always supported and guided, we simply need to learn to listen and pay attention to this guidance. The angel cards are a wonderful way to tune into the angelic realm. Angel cards are a means of learning how to listen to your spirit guides and angels. They are gentle, reassuring, spiritual, and open us to guidance that is an often needed reminder that we are being protected and guided-even when our logical minds or the emotional wounds inside of us doubt it!
TRANSFORMATION SESSIONS
During my 29 years of studying metaphysics, oracles, channeling, and other tools for increasing enlightenment, I came across the concept of the chief negative feature. We all have one, most of us have two, that block our ability to experience true happiness.
1. ARROGANCE +(positive) pride -(negative) vanity
2. SELF-DEPRECATION + humility - abasement
3. GREED + appetite - voracity
4. SELF-DESTRUCTION + sacrifice - suicide
5. IMPATIENCE + daring - intolerance
6. MARTYRDOM + selflessness -victimization
7. STUBBORNNESS + determination -obstinacy
These fear patterns or “dragons” are the primary cause of unhappiness, and block us from having fulfilling careers, relationships, prosperity... By discovering what our chief feature is, how it formed, and how it blocks us, we can take charge of ending its hold. As we look at our childhood and see where our fear and false personality started, we can then move onto practical, powerful methods for living our lives without the manipulation of fear/chief feature. Just recognizing the influence of chief feature alone will move you to a place of staying in the positive poles of your over-leaves (our goal, mode, and attitude) and move you to a place of experiencing more happiness and fulfillment in life!
REALITY CHANGE SESSIONS
Understand how our personal realities are formed, and develop the skill to change yours! Almost every area of your life can be changed for the better. This session will show you how to uncover the limiting beliefs that have blocked your progress. Instructions will be given in new methods and tools to create the present and future you truly want.
