Tarotholics Challenge Oracle Reading with the Yule Oracle

Where do you need to practice more tolerance with others?

Holiday Cookies – Turn your focus towards working on preserving those relationships closest to you. You’ve been so worn out, stressed, and dealing with a lot of pain. It makes you a bit snippy with others, and they feel those little snips and snipes… sometimes deeply.  Be aware of this, and work on treating them with more kindness and understanding.

How can you foster more tolerance within your heart?

Ornament – Keep your focus on how you want things to be or become, instead of how they are. What healthy and happy future do you want to develop going forward? By keeping your focus here, it allows you to work towards that goal instead of getting caught up in the discomfort or misery of the moment and reacting badly to it.

Where do you need to step up with your self-care over the holidays?

Sparklers – Take care with how much you put on your plate, even when feeling inspired. The more you pile on during this time at the end of your holiday rush, the more weight you will have to bear later on. Give yourself a break and write down your inspirations instead of acting on them immediately.

What do you need to focus on to keep your holiday cheer intact?

Cinnamon – Focus on the abundance of love and support that you have around you. Warm feelings and warm hearts will allow you to see the positive and give you that boost of holiday cheer you’re finally getting a bit of time to savor.

How can you best respond to those that try to “stir the pot” this holiday?

Tinsel – Instead of reacting outright to this “stir the pot” behavior that they’re exhibiting, use your ability to suss out and understand different perspectives to examine why they behave as they do.

How can you express your emotions with more love and kindness?

Poinsettia – View the holidays and this down time with others as a way to explore all the ways in which you are fortunate and all the things you have to be grateful for.

Questions for December 21st thru 23rd

Tarotholics Challenge Oracle Reading with The Christmas Oracle

What is it that you’re burying that needs to be set free?

Snowflakes – It’s time to dig up and set free yourself and those unique qualities within you that make you special. You’ve closed down in a lot of areas throughout the holiday rush, including this one, and now that the rush is drawing to a close, it’s time to begin reacquainting yourself with what makes you unique and sharing those qualities with others again.

How can you invite more creative spark into your life?

Family Dinner – Invite others in instead of holding them at a distance. You try so hard to keep people from seeing when you are struggling and the true extent of your efforts, when if you would instead allowed them to see, they would happily help.

What do you need to be more grateful for?

Coal – The lessons learned through the mistakes you’ve made need to be reflected on and appreciated. It’s through giving them attention and being grateful for what you’ve learned along the way that you are able to avoid repeating the same mistakes all over again.

Questions for December 16th, 18th, 19th

Tarotholics Challenge Tarot Reading with the Christmas Tales Tarot

Where should you direct your focus to foster better understanding towards others?

King of Pentacles atop The Empress – Remember that in their minds you will always be the stable strength that nurtures them and creates for them a sense of security and stability as well as comfort. They do not see you in the same light you see yourself, but with eyes of admiration and love.

Where should you direct your focus this week to be more…

Kind – Queen of Wands – Encourage others to follow their dreams and listen to them when they share their excitement with you.  Foster their desire to share these ideas and dreams with you.

Patient – Queen of Cups – Look at others as people needing emotional support, rather than treacherous landmines on the field of life.

Grateful – Seven of Cups – It’s a choice. You can cast your attention to those things that you have to be grateful for, and in doing so you become more grateful… or you can ignore these things and it will close you off more and more from others and your own happiness.

What aspects of your life could benefit from some grounding and centering?

Knight of Pentacles – It’s time to return to slow progress. The holiday rush is a time of chaos and things being so busy that there’s no time for anything else… no time to even breathe.  Now that the holiday rush is at an end, it’s time to slow your roll.  You’ll still be moving forward, but at a more manageable pace.

Page of Cups – It’s time to return to your emotions and the development of your emotional intelligence. Over the past few weeks you have had to tamp down on your emotions and close them away. Now is the time to open those closed doors and begin sorting through things and returning to the journey of learning you’ve been working on for the past couple of years.

Tarotholics Yuletide Oracle Reading with the Holiday Magic Oracle

Thistle – Mental Health / Wards – How can I ward off the blues that try to encroach as the holidays draw to a close?

Humble Beginning – You have not had a chance all holiday season to really enjoy the spirit of the holidays, the wonder of the beautiful decorations, etc. Now is the time to focus on the little things and enjoy them while you can. Some time outside also wouldn’t be remiss.

Garnet – Purification / Balance – How can I purify myself to help find a better balance for the new year ahead?

Graceful Moves – Let go of the jagged edges and rushed moments of holiday stress. The holiday rush amps you up, but as the new year approaches it’s time to let go of that energy and seek something filled with more calm and grace.

Yew – Rebirth / Protection – What practices need resurrected in my life to protect my personal well-being?

True Colors – It’s time to start listening to your needs again and putting yourself first. During the holiday rush, you are so focused on your business and what needs to be done self-care slides onto the back burner. It’s time to bring yourself and your needs back up the ladder of importance.

Diamond – Fearlessness / Imagination – How can my imagination foster more fearlessness in my life?

Being Guided – Your creativity and imagination guides you towards a lighter mindset and happier sense of being. Tap into that creativity and let it guide you towards the happiness and help you in fostering your efforts to use optimism and positivity to combat your depression and negative tendencies.

Holly – Fertility / Longevity – How can I create longevity in the fertile soil of my new endeavors?

Beacon of Hope – Make sure you are not listening to the nay-saying of your negative inner narrative. It’s through hope and forward, thinking that you find growth and success.

Emerald – Hearth & Home / Loyalty – How can a closer connection to hearth & home affect my sense of loyalty?

Authentic Voice – Connecting closely with others draws them closer to you and builds a sense of trust and loyalty between all those involved. That means that when you take the time to spend with those closest to you, in return that loyalty between you and them becomes stronger.

Peppermint – Mental Stimulation – What methods can I use to best stimulate my mind when I need a boost?

Relaxing Retreat – Take breaks when you need them, and even when you don’t think you do. Wearing yourself down clouds your judgment and clarity. Giving yourself the rest you need allows you to both boost your mental clarity as well as stimulate your enthusiasm.

Philosophical Questions for December 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th

Tarotholics December Philosophical Questions Oracle Reading with the Hello Winter Oracle

Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?

Wrapped Up – It’s worse to never attempt in the first place. When you attempt you move forward, even when you don’t feel like you do, and even when you feel like you’re failing. If you don’t attempted in the first place, then you remain stagnant and never progress or grow.

What holds you back from doing the things that you really want to?

Package Deal – All or nothing thinking often holds you back from doing the things that you really want to do. It’s that mentality within your inner narrative that says that you have to accomplish it all at once and be good at it all right from the start.

Is a “wrong” act okay if nobody ever knows about it?

Perfect Timing – It may not be “wrong” to act okay if nobody ever knows about it, but it definitely doesn’t accomplish anything. Better to let it out when the time is right than let it fester and grow within you until you feel like screaming.

Which is more important… love or trust?

Being Yourself – Trust is more important. When you foster trust in those around you, it often builds into love over time. Whereas, without trust or with broken trust, love is often irreparably damaged.

Tarotholics Challenge Lenormand Reading with the Yuletide Tales Lenormand

Where should you direct your focus this week to seek out more joy in your life?

Dog and Whip – You need to focus on not allowing your negative inner narrative to shame and criticize you so much, especially concerning your emotions. Keep those inner criticisms in check in order to lift your spirits and your self-confidence.

What do you need to focus on for self-care for this new moon?

Coffin and Ring – Let go of your expectations. Commit to riding out changes instead of trying to fight against them. You are too focused on how things have gone in the past and trying to hold on to that, instead of letting go.

How can you better foster your relationship with friends and loved ones?

Anchor and Letter – Make sure you are communicating with them how much you value their support. They aren’t aware of how much you appreciate them in your life, as well as their help in your business, if you don’t tell them so.
