Vibrancy lives on
in small pops
of color
in the autumn cold
and morning frost
that blankets
the blades of grass
and falling leaves
while hardy flowers
burst open
in celebration
at the end
of summer heat
and approach of winter
Day: December 1, 2023
📆 Transitioning from November to December
Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.
The World – Major transitions happen around this time of year for you, with the holiday rush changing just about every aspect of your life in one way or another. Your growth throughout the year comes to a culmination as your focus is drawn elsewhere and held for a stretch of six weeks, and your entire world changes. Remember that there is a new journey that can once again focus on you and your needs once the race of the holiday rush comes to an end.
The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.
Knight of Pentacles – The time for slow movement is at an end. Things are picking up speed and you’ll need to move at a faster pace to keep up and succeed.
What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.
Queen of Pentacles – This month ahead is filled with the potential for the wealth and success needed not only to fulfill your own needs, but also care for and support others.
Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.
Five of Cups – Sour grapes and negative inner narratives are not your friend. Make sure you are aware of those self-criticisms and negative self-judgements, and do what you can to counterbalance them for a healthier outlook.
The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.
Nine of Pentacles – Instead of focusing on failings and struggles, as mentioned above, make sure that you are focusing on your successes and accomplishments. Boost your outlook through positive feedback instead of being a slave driver to yourself that is never pleased or satisfied.
The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.
King of Swords Rx – Impulsive moments and acting without thought usually ends badly for you… but not always. When it does, though, you kick yourself for these moments instead of letting them go. Work harder to see them as learning experiences instead of failings.
Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.
Death – You have done well with all the changes that have gone on in your life this year. Don’t lose sight of that ability to adapt and keep going as you move forward this month.
A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.
Ten of Cups – Watch out for threats to your emotional security and familial ties. Stay aware of those things that could cause disruption to your “happy family” feelings that you share with others.
Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.
Seven of Wands Rx – Remember that sometimes empowerment doesn’t require outward expression. It’s okay to keep your opinions and beliefs to yourself, and stand firm in them without justifying them to others.
Message from the Spirit World – Keep in mind that happiness and success sometimes require you to yield instead of standing strong.
Message from the Mind’s World – Slow progress to your goals and beyond them is still progress. You’ll get there, and soon you’ll be in a position to not just work towards your goals, but support others in working towards theirs as well.
Message from the Physical World – Lack of motivation and strategy combined with negative thoughts equal more and more uncomfortable change in your life.
