📆 Transitioning from November to December

Month End Tarot Reading with the Urban Incantations Tarot

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.

🌑 New Moon in Scorpio – November 2023

On Sunday is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is brought to you by Seeds of Shakti.

Scorpio New Moon Oracle Reading with the Secret Oracle of the Green Witch

What hurts do I need to release that still sting?

The Candles – You spent so much time this year under the thumb of necessity that it’s been a struggle for you to reconnect with that inner spark of creativity that usually shines so brightly within you. Keep trying. It’s still there, but the wood is wet and it will take a bit of effort to get the fire going.

What self-destructive behaviors do I need to recognize and stop?

Dandelion – Dehydration is not your friend. You need your kidneys strong and healthy, especially because of the medical procedures coming up and all the stress of the holiday rush as well. Make sure you are drinking enough water.

What aspect of my life is undergoing a potent transformation?

A Garden of Your Own – You have been advised by your therapist to begin a daily compliment journal. This practice has a great deal of potential to help you find a better sense of inner peace and stability. It’s a good idea, so get to it.

What will help me delve deeper into my heart space to explore what I need and don’t want in my life?

Greater Burdock – Fear and anger breed stagnancy. You need to flush these emotions out of your system. Let them go. Don’t spend your time resenting what has passed, nor in trepidation of the what ifs of what could or might happen but has yet to come to pass.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

The Sacred Space atop Ribwort Plantain – Get your ass out in nature and pay attention while you’re there. Reconnection to those you’ve been neglecting is needed in the place of wet and green.

Mr Lionhart’s #TheNovemberTarot Elemental Tarot Challenge
Questions for November 7th and 8th

Oracle Reading with the Enchanted Map Oracle

What can I do to enhance my day-to-day life with more comfort?

Dragon’s Lair – It’s not comfort that you need right now, but rather to mix things up and dive into the excitement of challenge and adventure. See the upcoming holiday rush as a quest, instead of as a burden.

How can I best invest in myself for the long-term?

Commitment – Connect with others and allow them to connect with you. Accept their offers of help without restraint, as they are offering out of love and this sharing in your burden is a building block to greater bonds between you and others.

How can I connect with nature for a greater sense of grounding?

Heal the Ouch – Get your ass out in nature as much as you can. It’s through your connection with the forests and the trees that you find your greatest healing magic. In order to take advantage of this, you need to actually go wander among the trees and lie under their boughs so that your roots can tangle with theirs.

Winter Meditation Tarot Reading

 Winter Meditation Tarot Reading with the Traditional Manga Tarot

Hibernate Judgement – Not everything has to have an end goal, and with those things that do, you need to be looking at the now instead of where you plan to end up. Trust yourself to stay on path without constant diligent concentration on your goals this winter.

ContemplateAce of Cup – Instead of burying your emotions as you usually do each holiday rush, this time try and keep them on the surface so that you can spend some time considering them and familiarizing yourself with them.

ProtectNine of Cups atop King of Wands – Keep in touch with that spark that drives you forward towards your goals. It’s not always about seeing the end of the line and keeping it in sight, but rather wallowing in the excitement and spark of creativity this time of year can allow you to experience.

Let GoThe Magician Rx – You’ve had a lot of experience this year and feeling helpless and powerless. It’s time to set those experiences (and feelings that surfaced as a result) aside and reclaim your power and autonomy.

Questions for November 4th thru 6th

Lionhart's Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Urban Incantations Lenormand and Zodiac Oracle

How can I practice more mindful and intentional living?

Sun and Virgo – Find joy in organization and a more systematic and logical approach to life. Notice more and enjoy those things your attention is drawn to instead of disregarding them. Small joys are important.

What obstacles do I need to be aware of?

Fish and Libra – It can sometimes be difficult to resist going with the flow in social situations. Don’t allow peer pressure to cause you to spend when you should hold back, though. There are consequences that come with going with the group instead of listening to your own needs.

How can I turn my obstacles into opportunities?

Coffin and Capricorn – Look at the endings in your life with a practical eye. See the opportunities that come in the wake of loss.

What is contributing positively to my life right now?

Birds and Gemini – Communication and friends. Remember that while having others around you may sometimes feel chaotic, they also lift you up and breathe new life into how you experience the world.
